SCHOOL BOARD MATTERS.

The school board committee to select a
corps of teachers for the work during the
next school year completed their work yes
terday. 1t was by no means pleasant
task, and its Importance called for close
attention and care.
The bids from contractors to construct
the college building will be given to the
clerk today. The plans have been exam
ined by number. and as a result several
bids are threatened The board will hold
a meeting Monday evening to open the
bids and probably award the contract.
The report of the committee selecting
will probably be submitted to the board
and acted upon. As represented, it is not
thought probable that there will be any
difficulty in deciding on the corps of teach
ers
The Sixth ward new building is receiv-
ing its finishing touches, and in few days
the building committee will be called upon
to make a report on the question of its ac-
ceptance. The Third ward building is
about ready for the roof, and it is thought
work will commence on the College hill
building within a short time and be com
pleted in time to be ready for use at the
beginning of the next school year.

SUICIDE By THE PISTOL ROUTE.
August Wagner Ends His Life Almost Instantly
by Shooting Himself in the Mouth
Financial Troubles the Cause.

Yesterday afternoon about $50 a pistol
shot was heard in the vicinity of Main
and English streets and seemed to come
from the residence of Mr.. August Wagner.
A moment later Mrs. Wagner rushed out
of the residence and seemed greatly ex-
cited, and some parties at the Hotel Met
ropole fastened to her assistance Mr.
Wagner lay struggling on the floor of the
front room and it was evident at once
that he had suicided by shooting himself
in the mouth Dr. Edward Whitlock was
sent for but before he received the news a
block away death had arrived An ex-
animation showed that the ball from
4+calibre Bull Dog had entered the roof
of the mouth ranging upwards, but had
not come out. The mouth was burned
and the face bIackened with the smoke.
Blood had escaped freely from the wound.
nose, ears and eyes.
The news of the sad affair spread rapidly
over the city and while to most who heard
il. it was a great surprise TO his most in
innate friends it could scarcely be so desig-
mated A few minutes before the fatal
shooting he met some friends on the street
and concerning business matter said i
will see you tomorrow if | don't kill my
self" For some days he has intimated oc-
casionally TO friends that he had about
concluded that he would prefer death 10
living Some thought he meant what he
said, Others thought him certainly not sin
cere in what he was saying.
The source of his trouble was in the fact
that for the last two or three years his
business ventures have not been so sue
cessfuI as desired and recently he has been
hard pressed for money. For some time a
claim for 81, 200 has been in one of the
courts and yesterday he was convinced
that the suit would go against him. He
tried to place mortgage on some of his
property and could raise 1880 but
that would not settle the claim nor
could he arrange for time on the
800. He seemed to get discour-
aged about the matter and going home
about ten minutes before ending his life
told Mrs. Wagner about the financial
trouble but seemed cheerful withal, acting
perfectly rational and natural. Walking
into an adjoining room was followed mo-
ment later by the report of the pistol.
While there may seem little doubt about
how he came to his death the remains were
visited by the coroner and jury last even
ing and an inquest will be held this morn
ing.
The deceased was in his 18th year: born
in Prussia, Germany, and moved to Wa
thena, Kan, near st. Joe, in '73. Living
there about year he married Miss Mary
Larman and he moved to Wichita in early
"a He opened the first butcher shop in
the town and has been in the business ever
since. He leaves five children, ranging in
ages from to 15years. The arrangements
had not been completed last evening for
the funeral services but they will be held
some time Sunday

GARFIELD UNIVERSITY NOTES.

The meeting of the Ministerial associa-
ton closed yesterday evening. \ number
of topics of interest have been discussed
during the sessions of this meeting, max
ing it very pleasant and profitable.
There is gradually increasing appear
ance of loneliness about everything, both
animate and inanimate, at the university
as the students one by one leave for their
homes, regretfully bidding adieu 10 the
pleasant associations of the past year.
The summer school. in charge of Prof
W. a Crusinberry. begins next Tuesday
continues six weeks. 1t will be preemi-
nently a review school for teachers. while
the best methods of teaching will be dis
cussed and opportunity given for special
work in higher branches
Commencement exercises passed off very
smoothly and will ere long form pleasant
memories of the past, especially 70 those
who. ending their college days. begin bat
tie with the elements of the world.

EXTERIOR VIEW.

brass foundry. The immense ma
! chinery and lathes that may
| be seen in the works today
! look very different from the small single
lathe that did all the work at the com
mencement.
Mr.. r. p. FAIRIES is a practical machinist
and founder and gives all work his per
sonal supervision. allowing nothing to
leave the works without having been thor
oughly inspected by himself. In addition
to the plant already referred to the repair
shop is an important feature in his bust
ness, and was added to meet a pressing de-
mand existing at the time
At present only fifteen hands are en-
ployed, being all skilled labor, but during
the busy season a much larger force is
required. Entering the establishment from
Washington avenue one first passes into
the machine shop. The lathes and drill are
all run by steam power. There are three
engine lathes of different sizes for differ
ent kinds of work, three drill presses and
two shapers, besides a variety of machinery
for finishing and light work
These immense machines work iron with
as much ease as the carpenters lathe turns
the wood. Large derricks are placed at
convenient places to enable the workmen
to handle heavy pieces of machinery with
ease and despatch.
The adjoining building is the engine and
boiler room. A huge engine of the latest
improved design by means of an intricate
system of shafting drives the entire ma
chinery of the plant.
Immediately in the rear of the engine
room is a pOnderOus steam hammer whose
action initiates the blows Of a hammer in
the hands of man. Its force though is
so great that the hardest iron after a few
blows is beaten out into a sheet as thin as
a wafer.
In the rear of these buildings are the
boiler works and foundries. In convenient
places the cutters and shapers are located
so that all of the work is reduced TO the
minimum and time and muscle are both
saved. The riveting is all done by hand
and TO casual observer this is
the most interesting part of the
works As soon as the ears become accUS-

CAPTAIN CAREY AT HOME.

Captain John b Carey arrived last even
Ing from his California home and Will re-
main here four or five days looking after
some important business matters, when he
will leave for Chicago TO remain there a
few days before returning 70 California
He will return in September accompanied
by his family and make Wichita his future
home.
During his short stay in the city he viii
lock around over the country taking ~ the
crops and general outline OF the condition
and viii not forget TO visit the stock yards
and packing houses TO note the improve
ment there. He was met by n number Of
friends last evening who were quite glad
TO see him again IN Wichita and also quite
glad TO remind him of his premise to re-
turn TO the city early in the fall to remain.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THEKIA.


'"Thekla" was given last night at the
Crawford Grand for the benefit of the
Childrens Home, and over $500 was real
lied from which the expenses of the pro-
duction will he deducted.
The scene from IngOmar was very good
indeed and the statues by Miss Chambers
were very favorably received. The drama
was we'll rendered without a hitch. The
fairy drill was very entertaining and ap-
preciated. The specialties were all good.
Miss Lucy Ford, the musical directories,
had evidently done her work most thor
oughly. Mrs. Toler's hopes to give first
class performance must Gave been fully re
allied. In short, the entertainment was
far superior to what was expected, and as
a matter of fact the Wichita public is sell
dom treated to a finer performance.
The word good might be truthfully
written opposite every name on the pro-
gram and, in few instances clever cute,
pretty, artistic, neat and great might even
be used without varying from the truth
one iOta.
Thekla will be repeated on Wednesday
evening, June Is, and every one will know
enough to secure seats well in advance.

AN OLD CITIZEN GONE.

The funeral services of DR.. J. c. Dean
were held at his late residence on Law
renee avenue, yesterday at 10 a. m. The
pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
Rev. David Winters, of which church Dr.
Dean was member, conducted the exer-
cises. He first read some appropriate pas
sages of scripture and offered prayer Rev.
j. d. Hewitt was asked to offer some re
marks upon the life and character of the
deceased. In the course Of his remarks
Mr.. Hewitt said that he had known DR.
Dean ever since he came to this place The
life and character of the man reminded
him of two of Bunyan's representations in
the Pilgrims Progress" DR.. Dean, he
said was like Great Heart. He was
a man who had such broad and general
interest in all enterprises that tend to ben
eft mankind that they found a place in
his sympathies and always commanded his
generous aid. In the church he had al
ways been faithful and hard working Of
ticer. He was man of great mental vigOr
and activity. In the course of a long bust
ness career he had been more than ord
inarily successful. Like most men he had
met with many reverses, but like another
of Bunyan's characters he was always
hopeful" The result Of such life is not
to be measured by what he left behind him
when ne passed to the other shore but by
what he took with him across the river
A man leaves all he has but he takes with
him all that he is. DR.. Dean had become
a fully rounded character.
At the close of the address Dr. Fleming
offered prayer, and the procession moved
quietly to the new cemetery lying east of
the city.
DR.. Dean had been an invalid for nearly
two and half years. During this long
illness he was faithfully ministered to by
a devoted wife and children

LOOKING OVER WICHITA.

Mr.. w. f. Farlow, of St. Joseph, Mo. a
leading live stock man in the Missouri val
ley and, in fact, leading man in his bus
mess in the west, spent yesterday in the
city. As he represented it he had no time
to spend in Wichita or in any other city
for fun, but it was purely business. Most
of the afternoon was put in at the stock
yards and around the packing houses He
was taking in Wichita as a business town:
looking after the cattle market and pack
ing facilities. After careful investiga-
ton he was prepared to say that Wichita
is more of a nucleous of great city than
be had ever expected to find. While he
knows southwestern Kansas, the Terri
tory, Texas and all the wonderful domain
which would naturally demand live stock
market closer than the Missouri river he
had not become acquainted with the city
and with the fact that the demand which
was logical, had resulted in the establish
ment of market. He seemed greatly sur
prised at such a wonderful start Wichita
had gained and he was quite sure there
would always be rapid development.
