season he intends to build an addition
which will be exclusively for ladies and
open all hours
For clubs of reputable gents and ladies
the Natatorium may be chartered after
p. m. The water is being constantly
changed and thus always kept clear and
| pure. One can stand on the edge and see
the cemented bottom at any part of it.
The water is supplied by three drive wells
| which are sunk over thirty feet and it is
pumped by a steamp pump which is kept
IN constant action. The water as it comes
from the wells is naturally very cold and
| is perfect drinking water, but before it goes
to the pool it is circulated through a
| coil and heated TO the proper temperature.
In addition to the change that is constant
ly taking place in the pool by the continu-
Gus addition offresh water it is completely
emptied and scrubbed every night.
Mr.. Koenig has spared neither pains or
expense to make his place attractive and
every convenience and comfort is added.
Practical lessons in swimming and no
one will pretend to deny the Importance of
learning to swim. One may not often find
1T absolutely necessary to know how to
swim, but like the Texans revolver,
wanted only once in lifetime but wanted
awful bad just then. On ladies' day COM
petent matron is in charge to assist Mr..
Koenig and the swimming bath is more
popular with the ladies than with the
men. The matron says the ladies gain
confidence in the water very quickly. They
first sit down and dip their toes in where
they know it is shoal. They soon take
more interest in the matter and
only a few minutes will find the
most timid in the midst of the pool.
They then try to swim and the matron
says she has yet to see the first failure.
They swim naturally. simply because they
only try to keep their heads above water
When man, who is a novice, gets in the
pool he usually wants to swim with the
major portion Of his body above the sur
face and thinks that in any event his feet
should be higher than his head.
Yesterday was children's day-that is to
say that on Thursdays the children are
admitted at reduced rates, and hundreds
of them take advantage of this. Prof.
Koenig has no trouble to teach children to
swim, for as soon as their first scare of the
water is past they take to it as naturally
as a duck does. The little fellows have
great fun on the toboggan slide and think
nothing Of turning summersault from
spring board. Some one is always watch
ing the pool to see that the older ones do
not in any way impose on the younger ones
or that no accidents happen.
The hundred delightful sensations that
are experienced by plunge in clear, cold
water can only be cOmprehended by those
who have tried it aud every one of those
sensations is a preventive panacea for all
the ills that flesh is heir to. Every plunge
adds a year of comfort and health to your
lives

TOTAL BY FREIGHT.

A member of the finance committee of
the council stated yesterday that it was
high time that the levy was made out for
next years taxes The matter some time
ago had been referred to as, the council
and the various committees having charge
of matters requiring money were requested
to present an estimate of the amount they
would need next year. When all the COM
mittees had reported the total would give
the levy for the city's expenses next year.
While the levy SO far for funds to run the
city government had been low, much
lower than any other town or city in the
state he was afraid the Jump this year
might be just little startling. He did
not think it would be alarming but just
little startling. With the increase result
ing from extensive bond sales and the
like he did not think the total would come
up to any city in the west OF the enterprise
of Wichita. In the face OF bonds to the
tune of several hundred thousand dollars
added within the last year he thought the
individual departments should cut down
expenses With all kinds of lights being
increased at every council meeting to fix
up some fellow for future use the expense
in that department could not be reduced
to any alarming extent but there
would be an alarm on the other side and
would no doubt be continually increased
in the nature of men but not always from
demand The new hydrant called for
often and in fact by numbers, in his judg
ment, would require more money for the
next year The increase would be $50
multiplied by big number. Then in ad
dition to the various departments sepa-
rately expanding more money it would
take, in his judgment, a little increase on
general principles. The total would be
total.
1t is thought the various departments
will have estimates ready by the next
meeting, when the total amounts will be
known and the matter settled. The school
board will decide the levy question for
that department at the first meeting in

DRAMATIC RECITAL.

At the Council the class in physical
culture, with few select friends, were
given an intellectual treat. Through the
kindness of Miss Helen Potter dramatic
recital was arranged, which gave an ap-
preciative audience an opportunity to en-
joy the wonderful histrionic powers of
this gifted lady. Owing to the extreme
warm weather Miss Potter would not al
low her friends to make any effort to dis
pose of tickets, preferring rather the
exquisite sense of a few listeners en- rap
port than a crowded house of non-sympa-
thetic critics. The eloquent reader seemed
fairly lifted out of herself, at time thrill
ing her hearers with lofty aspiration, or
convulsing them with merriment at
numerous delineation, or racking the
heart with the tragic woes of Cornelia.
Miss Potter's impersonatiOn of Susan
B. Anthony was positively startling in it's
life-likeness.
The recital closed a series of culture
lessons which the friends of Miss Potter
will ever remember gratefully.

There will not be nearly enough 10 go

who have been disappointed in securing
seats in the lower part of the house, need

WHAT PROTECTION HAS DONE.


The Way BIaj. Mckinley Sums Up the
Result.
We have now enjoyed twenty-nine
years continuously of Protective Tariff
laws-the longest uninterrupted period
in which that policy has prevailed since
the formation of the Federal govern
ment-and we find ourselves at the end
Of that period in condition of indie
pende2ce and prosperity the like of
which has never been witnessed at any
other period in the history Of our coun-
try, and the like of which has no par
allel in the recorded history OF the world
In all that goes to make a nation great
and strong and independent we have
made extraordinary strides. In art, in
science, in literature, in manufactures,
in invention, in scientific principles ap-
piled to manufacture and agriculture, in
wealth and credit and national honor we
are at the very front, abreast with the
best and behind none.
In 1850, after fourteen years Of a rev.
enue tariff, Just the kind of tariff that
our political adversaries are advocating
today, the business of the country was
Frustrated, agriculture was deplorsbly
depressed, manufacturing was on the
decline, and the poverty of the govern
ment itself made this nation a byword
IN the financial centers Of the world.
We neither had money nor credit
Both are essential; a nation can get on
If it has abundant revenues, but If it
has none it must have credit We had
neither, as the legacy Of the Democratic
revenue tariff. We have both now. We
have a surplus revenue and q spo1ess
credit. need not state what Is so fresh
in our minds, so recent in our history. as
TO be known 10 every gentleman who
hears me, that from the Inauguration Of
the Protective Tariff laws Of 1ss1-the

that veteran statesman the highest honor

ment-this condition changed. Conf
dence was restored, courage was inspired,
the government started upon progress
i've era under system thoroughly Amer
lean.
With great war on our hands, with
an army to enlist and prepare for ser
wee, with untold millions Of money TO
supply, the protective tarif never failed
us IN a single emergency, and while
money was flowing into our treasury 70
save the government, industries were
springing Up all over the land-the foam
dation and corner stone Of our proper
ity and glory.
With a debt CT over s, 300. ooo, 600
