Three young fellows were having a
heap of fun with themselye few DAYS
ago. aided by twenty-dollar bill. About
2:3O in the afternoon this trio went into
Il barber shop up on North Clark street
and got shaved. When the tonsorial act
had been completed one of the young fel-
lows produced twenty-dollar bill and
told the barber 10 get his pay out OF
that. The barber asked politely if the
gentleman had nothing smaller, saying
at the same time that he had no change.
At this one Of the chaps very foolishly
laughed, and stated that that bill had
been as good as gold mine TO them, for
they had come all tho way up Clark
street from the bridge and had had all
they wanted to eat and drink on that
bill because no one could change it.
This made the barber hot, and he said:
"Nell. you wasentt peat me like dot; you
vas pay for dose shayes, pet me-" and
he called his darby. saying to him: "Go
over by the South Side ind got some
changes for dot pill, und you vasent
hurry too" Tho colored man under
stood the situation perfectly, for at :
o'clock in the evening the three young
men still sat there in the barber shop
waiting for their $3.50. - Chicago

THE TRADES DISPLAY.

Preparations are advancing for the en-
tertainment to be given at the opera house
under the auspices of the. First Baptist
church on the 22d. Last evening drill Of
the drill corps was held at 400 East Doug
las, and was most satisfactory in every
respect. OF the whole number of the
corps, tweuty-six, but one was absent.
Mr.. Corbett, the drill master, was loud
in his praise of the pro-
ficiency and skill shown and says that
for the length of time training they do far
better than an equal number OF men. The
costumes to be worn by the ladies will be
elegant and the banners to be carried in the
march rich and superb. One of the jew
elers of the city will display in this march
go, 600 worth of diamonds. Besides the
trades display there will be several other
interesting features, among which may
be mentioned drill by sixteen Arabs, lit
erary exercises and music by some of
Wichita's most accomplished musicians.
There is system and interest manifest
that gives promise that this would be one
Of the grandest and most successful enter
tainment ever given in the city.

THE DOG CONSTITUENTS.

The city clerk reported last night one
hundred forty-three tags left the Office,
each on the mission of saving the life of a
dog for one year. The payments in that
line had been made in the last day or two,
and was bringing in enough money to buy
matches for city headquarters. AS far as
learned no effort had been made anywhere
to stopltherevenue from coming in. IF it is
allowed to go ahead without police inter-
ference it is thought possibly one police
man can get his back pay from the dog
tax.
