the clean parts just the same as the solled

the clothes. The working parts OF the
washer are made out of hard maple, aud

iron. which gives the washer great
durability. The clothes are moved

IN LIFE-IN DEATH.

Yesterday morning at II O'Clock tele-
grams were received in this city announc-
ing the death of Mrs. Lena Leyeth, at FL
Passo, Texas, at 7:30 yesterday morning.
The kilograms were nearly repetitions, con
tanning only the information that Mrs.
Leyeth had been thrown from a buggy and
almost instantly killed and that the re
mains would be embalmed and shipped to
Wichita. 1t is supposed that the remains
were shipped last evening by express.
From the meagre particulars of the tele-
grams the suppOsition is that the horse
must have run away while she was taking
a morning drive for her health, thus caus-
ing the accident.
The deceased was a daughter of Mrs.
Agnes Magee, residing on the northwest
corner of Topeka and Oak. kilograms
were sent to all the members Of the family
and they will all have time to arrive i'll
Wichita for the funeral.
Mrs. Leyeth has been visiting her cousins
Mr.. and Mrs. James, of FL Passo for near
ly year, the climate benefting her deli
cate health. She leaves no children, but
many relatives are left to mourn their loss.
On Monday she wrote her mother that
uef DedlJn was DluCu iii proven
and that morning buggy rides
seemed to be conducive to that
end Probably at the moment when her
pulses were quickened with returning
health and life seemed to be yet a long
journey an overruling Providence in the
space of breath, wrought the transition
that comes TO all we know not how or
when Her letters of late bore more
cheerful tone than usual and the hope of a
perfect recovery had let an additional ray
of sunshine into her life which seems to
have been Il devine prefiguration of that
perpetual day that has dawned upon her
spiritual vision.
The disconsolate mother is enveloped in
the gloom of sorrow that no earthly con
ISOLATION can penetrate, that can never be
dispelled and can only be illumined by the
light which comes from above.

has been shown at all of the principal fairs

A part of the factory is devoted to the
manufacture of the Star bed spring, which
is also a patent by the same inventors.
Simplicity, durability, cheapness and COM
fort aslo characterize this spring which
makes its way on the market without any
great trouble, and is in successful competi-
ton with the oldest and best springs
known. Its frame is of birch and is con
structed of light strips and by a cunning
arrangement is very strong without much
weight. The balance of the spring is en-
tirely of wire The spiral springs are
connected with a smaller spiral wire stay
which equalizes the strain and gives per

Benbow Brothers Grown From Agents
to Manufacturers OF Two Hundred and
Fifty Machines a Week Inside Of
Two Years---A Fraction Of
Wichita's Distributing
Interests

Only few years ago Benbow Brothers,
who were then acting as agents for wash
ing machine, secured a patent on an in
vention of their own, and commenced to
manufacture it on a very small scale
Their business grew rapidly until their
patent found a market in every western
state and encrOached triumphantly on
much valuable eastern territory In speak
ing OF their success yesterday Mr. Benbow
said that although their patent could not
fail to win under any circumstances their
quick success had been largely due to the
advantages offered by Wichita to manu-
factories Its location and the fact that it
IS looked up to by every city in the state,
and also many business centers in adjoin-
lug states as a distributing point was
greatly to their advantage and in his opin-
Ion no enterprise could start in any other
