ANOTHER GRAVE TODAY.

The darling of another household will
be laid away from sight forever this morn
ing. The man of God who pronounced the
benediction upon two united lives a few
years ago, must, this morning, try to lift
from their souls a cloud which sooner or
later hovers over every home of earth. The
anguished cry of those united lives will
rise above every soothing word, every com
forting hope, and there will come the hol-
low echo of the falling clods over dear
form, then silence. The light of the even
ing sun will fall on a grave whose darkness
claims the light of a home which two
hearts will feel now to be darker than the
grave that holds the form OF their darling.
and that home is the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred W. Israel. Their baby. Cullen
is dead. The funeral will take place this
morning at O'Clock, at ~ North Law
renee. Rev. J. d. Hewitt officiating
Words are but remove from mOckery in
such a presence, and we forbear. Baby
Cullen J. was two years and eleven months
old. the brightest and most promising age
OF babyhood.
Life treads on life, and heart on heart;
We press too close in church and mart

A RECONCILIATION.

Yesterday a man hailing from Harper
county. five miles from Anthony. and Civ
ing the name OF Charles Rodman, applied
70 Chief Burrows for assistance in finding
his wife He offered the chief liberal
amount If successful, but did not have the
cash with him. He said his wife had run
away and he had tracked her this far and
could not in any way account for the
strange behavior. After a little looking
the woman was found at a residence on
Lawrence avenue, where she had found
employment. The chief told her the cir
cumstances and she said she ran away BE-
cause instead Of being her husbands part
ner she was his slave She also said she
was sorry and would Ike to 60 back pro
vided they could come 70 an understand
lug. The chief then arranged q meeting az
the Occidental. where they soon came q
terms and both departed for home last
evening well satisfied and happy. Chief

and has but few equals in the United
States. At the outset the business was
only retail, and the jobbing department
was introduced as the demand seemed to
warrant. Mr.. Shaw's knowledge of the
business and the favorable location of
Wichita encouraged such a demand that
for the last two years this has been the
most important feature of the business.
Factory prices are marked on all goods,
and his prestige with manufacturers al
most enables him to shut out all competi-
ton. The establishment employees from
thirteen TO fifteen hands the year round,
and five teams for delivering and moving
goods.
Mr.. Shaw has the state agency for the
highest grades of all the leading pianos
and organs. He says his success is largely
ne to his principles of preaching quality
rather than price to a customer. Although
it is little harder to sell a good instru-
ment than cheap one. it will give salts
faction and help to sell another. Pianos
and organs are shipped every day to Texas,
Colorado and Oklahoma. AT the opening
of Oklahoma this branch of the trade
opened almost Immediately and has
steadily increased up to the present.
The sheet music and book department is
under the able management of Mr.. Harry
Sheppard, and includes all the latest
American and foreign publications. Much
attention is given this department and the
newest things are always to be seen there.
Band and orchestra music are specialties
A fine line of brass and stringed instru-
ments, including all musicians supplies,
is under the personal supervision of Mr..
Shaw.
The outside department. includ-
ing the delivery and receiving, is in
charge of Mr.. Charles Kerr. 1t is equip
ped with all the appliances and conven-
fences for handling heavy instruments
with safety and dispatch.
The machine department. in which all
kinds of sewing machines are bought, sold
and jobbed, is in charge of Mr.. Charles A.
Dyson, the popular salesman.
The repair department is also an import
ant branch of the business and is under
the management of a competent repairer
of many years experience. All kinds of
repair work can be handled satisfactorily.
The piano and organ department is head
ed by Mr. VIII Collins and contains a
large and handsome display of instruments
of all makes These show rooms occupy
about half of the lower floor. There is a
countless make of pianos and organs on

More than Thirty Employees
Something About Handling
the Goods.

Very few may know that the lanndries
in the city do an extensive business out
side Wichita. 1t Is true nevertheless that
the Wichita Steam Laundry does an extern
sive business from many of the Kansas
towns, especially in the southwestern part
of the state and also do much work for the
territory, also Texas, and, what may seem
strange, also does work for over q dozen
towns in Missouri. Agents in the various
towns send the business and the hustling
agents take the business from Kansas City
and ST. Joe, where also are first class laun-
dries, but the Wichita Steam Laundry
once getting a hold on the business, make
it point TO keep it by the class of work
done. This gives an extensive business
for the express companies Scarcely q bus

there any objection to the business on the

STATE OF KANSAS.
A Business that Extends Over This En-

Mr.. Thomas Shaw, the music man,
opened up business in Wichita on the 2lst
day of August, 1884, in a very modest way,
on Douglas avenue. The following year
he moved TO his present location, 129
North Main street. The building has a
frontage of twenty-five feet, is two stories
high, and runs back to the alley, a dis
lance of one hundred and forty feet. Mr..
Shaw occupies the entire building and
finds himself crowded for room. His stock
includes everything in the music line, and
it is impossible to call for anything in the
music line which cannot be produced forth
with. 1t is the largest and most compre-
hensive stock Of musical goods in the state

homes, and homes with their ever varying
lawns and plots, every street so smooth, so
level and so clean; we stood ready to chaI-
lenge the world on Wichita's urban beau
ty. Fortunate is the individual and hap
py ought to be the family, who
possess a home in Wichita, es-
pecially if that home stands within any
of her tree EMPOWERED precincts. Such
uniformity Of shade such inviting drives,
such protected sidewalks and yards are
boosted By only a very few of the older
cities of the world, and then only after
infinite painstaking by generations and
the lavish expenditure of wealth OF
course there is no other such city in Kan
sas. All estimates of business aside. and
a home in Wichita is worth a hundred Der
cent more than the same home would be
if located in any other western city, and
the time is coming when these homes will
have dollar-values added because of that
fact. When other cities have been
compelled to expend thousands and
millions of dollars and generations
of labor in making smooth avenues
nature turned them over to Wichita al
ready in perfection, wanting only trees and
shyubbery which planted in a loan of
vegetable mold and calcarious mail rein
forced by an underfow of water sprang
into stateliness and perfection of form in
the fewest years. Ere the roofs of the new
homes had turned gray by the sun and
rains they were screened by the rich foliage
of symetricaI trees. The world is chal-
lenged for a parallel, and which is in
vited to come and see for itself, to come
and see Wichita in her midsummer glory.
