No Trouble Between Them.

j. A. Sifferle denies that there is any
trouble between the Hennepin County Land
company and the Washburn Crosby Mill
company. Mr. Martin, the manager of the
mill company, he says. has asked for no
reduction in the prices of barrels, and has
acted fairly with his company at all times.
He claims that there is n, division among
the men of the corporation, and that the
question of accepting prices did not come
up at all at the last business meeting. He
thinks that the Hennepin shop has been
made the subject for wrong condemnation
for holding their contracts but all they ever
intended was to hold to the contracts.

Mrs. Sadie M. Becker Tells Why
She Did Not Appear in Court.
Mrs. Sadie M. Becker was before Judge
Lochren yesterday afternoon to answer to an
order for her to appear and show cause why
she should not be punished for contempt Of
court. She was a material witness in the
libel action brought by Charles Olpee against
the Pioneer Press. She had been summoned
to appear as a witness but when the case was
called last fall she coul not be found. The
case was consequently put over the term, and
when il came up again she was still missing.
Then bench warrant was issued, and she
was not found until few days ago. Yester-
day she said that when she was subpHnaed
her mother was seriously iii at Spring VALLEY.
Mimi, and that the sheriff told her she would
be excused on that ground. Her mother
since died. and she was away in attendance
upon the funeral when the case came up
again. Her explanation was satisfactory to
the court When the case comes up May

TOM DOWNS SCHEME.
He Wants Board of Public
Works Created,


Works Created.
The scheme for establishing in Minneap-
oils board of public works has been re-
viyed and an attempt will be made to secure
the passage of an act creating such a board
at the next session of the legislature. Aid.
Tom Downs is said to be at the head of the
movement and it is claimed, ON what ap-
pears to be good authority, that q secret COM
bination has been formed to force upon the
next Republican city convention platform
pledging the party to the establishment of
the board. The argument to be advanced is
that st. Paul, with its system, is slowly but
surely outdoing Minneapolis in the suburbs.
The claim is that driving through the inter
urban district the line of the two cities can
be dete mined at once by the condition of
the streets. 1t is proposed also TO have the
board appointed by the, governor, SO as to
take it out of the control of sectional party
issue. The men reputed to be at the back OF
the movement are Aid. Tom Dowus Presi-
dent johnson, Aid. Cole and several other
prominent aldermen, besides party leaders
who expect to go to the legislature.

A DESTITUTE FAMILY.

A family by the name of Purcell, living
at 1903 South Mosiey, is reported by Mr..
Seward, to be be in a destitute condition
under very unfavorable circumstances
The husband, it will be remembered, fell
while employed on the government build
ing and so injured his spine that he can
scarcely do the highest kind of labor. He
is anxious to work but unfortunately can
only perform certain kinds OF labor. There
are four children all barefooted and prob
ably before this reaches the eye OF the
reader another little mouth is wide open
and must be fed. Up to the present Mrs.
Purcell assisted by one OF the little bare
foot girls has been able to pick up suf-
ficient coal along the track to carry them
through the cold nights. OF course she
can do that no longer, and being too proud
to beg, the result can easily be imagined.
Officer Williams as soon as he learned OF
the case procured some coal for them and
Mr.. Seward gave them what bedding and
clothing he had on hand. But the little
baby positively has not stitch to its back
and it is crying inst now because it is cold.
If it is more convenient for those who want
to help to send clothing to MIR. Seward No.
Sl2 North Lawrence, he will see that the
things are promptly delivered to the little
sufferer. Mrs. Purcell thinks that during
her convalescence she might be able to do
a little sewing, but unfortunately she has
no means to buy needles, thimble and
thread. The pawnbroker has the thlmble,
a gift to the poor woman ten years ago.

this family Will be "bread cast upon the

WILL MEET AT OMAHA.
Executive Committee OF Immigration Bureau
Directors and Delegates to Present
Claims to Passenger ASso-
CATION.

The county of jefferson has responded to
the invitation to join the State 1mmlgra-
| ton bureau by appointing j. n. Iusiey dl-
rector and C. T. johnson and L. II. Rob-
erts delegates to appear before the Trans
Missouri Passenger association on the 18th
of February next.
Ellis county has bsen heard from by the
| appointment of S. c. Ramey director, and
H. p. Wilson delegate to Omaha, who will
also be accompanied by the director, Mr..
Ramey.
For Ness county W. A. Radebaugh has
been selected delegate to Omaha and j. L.
Green director
The executive committee desires it 70 be
understood that all the directors and dele
gates to meet the passenger association
join the committee at Omaha on the morn
ing of February II, and meeting will be
held to decide upon some questions that
have presented themselves for action, and
also to formulate some request with which
to appear before the passenger association.
The meeting of the committee, directors
and delegates at Omaha is looked upon as
most important one, and large attend
ance showing interest in the movement
will be indispensable in bringing about
most favorable results There is little
doubt in the judgment of the committee
that if they are able to get the association
to understand the Importance of the move
ment they will succeed in getting what
they want. In the degree they fail in
making complete showing they will fail
in getting what they want.

MONEY AND BUILDINGS.

1t is thought that within ten days the
school board will have in its possession
the money on the $50, 900 bonds sold to S.
A. Keane & Co., of Chicago. The bonds
will bring the city s5l, CPS, with no expense
of any kind, which is premium of 81 60,
and nearly hundred for expenses.
The money could have been secured
some time ago but was not needed, and as
soon as in possession of the city would call
for larger per cent than the city would
receive, and hence it was considered better
financiering not to get the money until
about the time it was needed.
Little money has been drawn out of the
building fund within the past three weeks
as little work has been done. The contrac-
tors are impatient to resume work, while
the crowded condition of the schools make
the teachers, some of them, impatient for
more room. But the relief is not likely to
come all around until the commencement
of the next school year.

THE NEW STEAMER aw1cH1rA"
Arrived Last Evening at O'clock and VIII
be tested Noneay Afternoon Opposite
the Sedgwiek.

The new steam engine for the fire de-
partment arrived last night at 5 o'clock
from Cincinnati, accompanied by Mr..
Chris Ahrens, the patentee and manu-
facturer Putting it together was but the
work of few hours and it will be ready
for service on Monday after the test
The engine as 1t stands is a model of
beauty aud is guaranteed to do its work to
perfection 1t was subjected to two tests
before leaving Cincinnati, but as a matter
of form will be subjected to third on
Monday afternoon opposite the Sedgwick.
The engine equipped and ready for duty
will weigh $500 pounds. IL is the No. =
size of this make, there being two larger
sizes and five smaller. Its capacity is 750
gallons per minute and 1t Will throw
horizontal stream through 1900 feet OF
hose 275 feet, or two horizontal streams
220 feet through the same length of hose.
1t has the double acting pump and steam
cylinders and perpendicular stroke.
The boiler is submerged tubular
boiler carrying from loo to 100
pounds of steam as occasion requires.
When ready for use the boiler is full and
the fire laid. and tive minutes from
the time the match is applied it IS
ready for duty. There have been $50 of
the engines sold and all of them are in use,
the oldest one having seen service for
twenty-one yeare. With only the ordin-
airy wear and tear this engine is calculated
TO last twenty-five years. The running
gear is beautifully designed and seems to
work perfectly. The engine sits on an
equalizlng platform rig which relieves the
frame of any strain no matter how rough
the streets may be. The current expense
of the engine should be less than that of a
chemical. The engine is named witch
ita." its cost was $1,000 delivered here.
Mr. Ahrens presented Chief Walden
with lantern that is of course useful.
being especially designed for fire chiefs.
but it is beyond doubt ornamental. 1t Is
about as handsome lantern as one is ever
apt to see. The chiefs name Is blown In
the glass, and by its mechanism it Is
ADAPTED to all purposes.

SCHOOL BUILDING REPAIRS.

The committee on heat and ventilation
Of the school board yesterday examined
the work of repairs on the heating appara-
tus for the high school building and En-
erson building. They decided to recon-
mend acceptance of the work, which will
come up for action at the next meeting of
the board. The improvements have been
in progress for some weeks, as work could
be done of morning and evening when it
would not disturb the pupils in school.
The reports from the buildings have never
been most complimentary of the heat sys-
TEN used, or at least service given. The
heating part of it has always been fair
enough as reported, but with the lack of
ventilation come the trouble.
During the recent cold weather some
complaints have been made Of cold school
rooms and buildings. The majority of the
buildings are reported very comfortable
but the defects pointed out by the cold
weather has attracted the attention of the
committee having that matter in charge,
and in due time a report will be made
recommending repairs at various places
needed. 1t is not as yet estimated what
the cost will be. but it will likely call for a
few hundred dollars.

REAL ESTATE EXCHANGES.

Some of the real estate men are consid-
ering scheme which was suggested by
an Ohio town. They propose there to have
an exchange SO organized with an eX-
change here to do business through each
other. A man having property to trade
there for southern Kansas property, town
or farm, the exchange in each place to
attend to the business, and in this way
take care of the business more promptly
and at the same time increase the move
ment in that line. While the real estate
men of the Ohio town suggested the
scheme it is further developed by some of
the agents here who suggest that it might
be well to have similar arrangement In
many of the leading towns and cities of the
eastern states. In theory it Is regarded as
good enough and will work much better
with a number Of points than for one AS
to the practice part of it that is a feature
unknown, but the agents, some OF them,
are in favor of making test.

REMARKS ABOUT BUSINESS.

Some gentlemen were figuring yesterday
and arrived at the following results: Corn
runs say forty bushels to the acre and at
Is cents per bushel each acre yields the
farmer about So 90. Tomatoes should yield
at least two hundred bushels to the acre
and at 20 cents per bushel would make
each acre yield the farmer about SAC. 90.
What was to be done with so many toma-
toes was naturally asked and the answer
was that the scheme would not be practic-
able until Wichita had canning factory.
The next speaker said he knew of pa
per mill in Illinois that contracted for
straw at $500 per ton and he fancied the
Kansas farmers would like to make SINH
lar contracts.
A third said he had figured out that the
corn starch which was sold in the grocery
stores was made in the east from corn cost
ing 10 cents per bushel. 1t looked to him
as if there was an opening in Wichita for
that kind Of business The foregoing fig
ures are given just as they were overheard.
