A DELIGHTFUL CONCERT.
The Omaha Bee of last Friday says:

The Omaha Bee of last Friday says:
1t was Mr.. Taft's first appearance. pro-
fessionally, before an Omaha audience.
He is one of those companiOnable gentle
men who impress one favOrably from the
first, and is musician in every sense of
the word. He does not play the organ
with a crank. but permits very excellent
technique to be guided by an inspiration
from the soul. His manipulation of stops
and intelligent registration are features
worthy of note. The charm of organ music
lies in tone combinations which are pos
sible in nearly all large instruments of
this class, but which mechanical players
rarely discover. Mr.. Taft is gifted beyond
ordinary Orgauists in this direction, and to
his consummate skill in producing orches-
trail effects he has added delicacy of touch
and beauty of expression which give 10 his
playing "A remarkably pleasing character.
Mr. Taft's opening number was one of
the four beautiful otfertories which Batiste
composed and dedicated to St. Cecilia.
Contrary to expectation it was not the
third, which so often appears on recital
programs, but perhaps the most difficult
one of the set and Mr.. Taft played it re-
markably well. Moszkowski's ''Serenata."
the first of a dual number was an eXqui-
site composition, and would have elected
a warm response had any demonstration
been permitted.
Inc most pleasing NUMBER or the pro-
gram was lie Carnival" by Wely. Every
concert Organist has some sort of a de
scriptive piece and it generally appears on
the program, but Mr.. Taft in some of the
effects produced exceeded every organist
who has ever played here before. BY the
use of a peculiar pedal lever. designed evil
IDENTIFY for this particular piece, and the
usual half drawing of stops, the best imi-
tatiOn imaginable of a storm was accom-
plished. The prayer, trust, despair, re
turning faith and final rejoicing were al
most spoken.
The sixth number, Bacb's "TOcatta,"
gave the player full swing. This is prob
ably the most difficult of organ compost
lions, with the possible exception ola tech
nical puzzle of Haupt's-but its intricacies
were superbly handled by the modest little
player.
''Old Folks at Home''-Mr. Taft's own
Observation-Disclosures out of the usual order
of variations, but exceedingly ingenious in
arrangement.
OF the remaining organ numbers, the ex
quisite piZZicatO from Sylvia" arranged
by Mr. Taft, and the romanZa from Tam
hauser" were most enjoyed because of the
beautiful phrasing and the delightful tone
cOloring which were so conspicuOusly
brought into use Altogether the concert
was splendid success. y house full of
interested listeners and rare genius for
an Organist-what more could one ask for?
Mr.. Taft Will appear this evening at the
First NJ. T. church

The object of the evenings work is to

AFTER THE NORTH STAR.

Civil Engineer Mulvey, in charge of the
county surveyors Office, took observations
on the north pole star last night, in front
of the new court house, for the purpose of
determining a true meridian line, in order
that surveyors may test the variation of
their magnetic needles at any time. Mr.
MuIvey expresses the hope that the county
commissioners viii cause two permanent
stone monuments to be set in order that
this line shall be perpetuated and as is
found IN most cities Of Importance.
The statutes require that the county
surveyor shall determine the variation Of
the magnetic needle four times each year.
once every three months, but Sedgwick
county has been sadly behind most other
counties of this state in this matter. as no
reports whatever have been returned.

DEPOT FACILITIES AND EMPRESS CON-
RANIES.

Mr. l.. B. Speed of Wellington. who has
the contract for putting in the Santa Fe
freight depot, has commenced work. The
grounds were staked off yesterday and ex-
cavating commenced. The building Will
be two hundred and eighty feet long and
forty feet wide, with platforms and other
improvements TO accommodate the bust
ness.
The Adams Express company also will
commence work in a few days putting up
a stone building just north of the Santa
Fe passenger depot. 1t will be fifty
feet square, two stories. This
improvement is not made for fun, but be-
cause the business demands it. It is not
the business policy of express companies
to put up buildings for show or amuse-
ment, for there is very little amusement
in it,
\ visit to the offices of the express COM
panies yesterday was rewarded with the
information that the business Of this year
is much greater than for the corresponding
months last year. In no instance was the
increase upon investigation found to be
less than 80 per cent. In some instances
the increase was over 20 per cent.
\ parallel column of the business of this
year and last was by no means
suggestive Of the historic deadly
parallel" 1t was noticed that the in
crease was more Of an increase the nearer
it reached the present month. This, Of
course. was most favorable showing and
a publication Of the figures. were it posi-
bic, would be quite interesting reading for
Wichita
The rapid increase in the express bust
ness is explained by the fact that there has
been such an increase in the wholesale
business in the city. In every wholesale
line quick transportation Is used being
very important

Hon. James r. Mead, who spent the
summer in Montana looking after his min
ing interests, has been home now several
days He says the mining operations this
summer were, in manydistricts. rendered
Improbable and difficult because Of the
lack of water. But little snow fell in Mon
tana last winter. In fact there has been a
continuous drouth for about three years,
consequently the water supply Is very lin
tied for hydraulic workings. Mr. Mead
came home by way Of salt lake, where he
was entertained in royal manner by old
friends. His son Bunne. Is just hack from

ancestors, where his sister Mamie. who &C
companied him, still tarries

A PATROL WAGON.

The police commissioners have decided to
have a patrol wagon. This improvement
to the police department will cost about
800 and the brass button boys think they
can pay for it in a short time. With this
addition it is thought it will be less diff
cult to get criminals in from broad and
long Wichita.
1t is not known where the outfit will be
located yet. 1t is believed, however, that
for the present the board will have build
Ing constructed just in the rear of police
headquarters and the patrol will reach the
street by the alley, and also will be handy
to the calaboose.

THAT FAIR,
From the Cheney Blade.

From the Cheney Blade.
Everybody and his wife were at the fair
yesterday Such crowd has never been
seen in Wichita before. 1t required the
constant use of twelve electric cars in
Vulnerable hacks and busses and any
number of private rigs to transport the
immense crowds to the grounds. Thou
sands of people "hOofed' it out, who could
not find any other mode of conveyance.
The Santa Ee at Cheney sold 105 tickets to
people who took the special train in. Ar
rived at the fair grounds the grandest dis
play of agricultural implements and pro
culinary and all kinds of displays are to
be seen. Taken altogether, the fair this
year is the grandest thing Southern Kan
sas has ever seen and is worth going many
miles to attend.

A SAD ACCIDENT.

Mr. VIM. T. O'Brien went out hunting
yesterday morning with a couple Of
friends. When six miles south he went
after some game, but the shell had not
been placed in the ''Old Zooloo'' securely
and came back in his face. 1t is thought
the shell itself put one eye out while the
other is 50 badly burned that it is feared
he will never be able to see with it. The
accident was most sad and painful one
