Winter of the past. Books

Here is Ward McAllister's
book, Society as | Have

lies of Pax have advertised
the book until you want to
make its acquaintance. The
experiences with it are odd.
People ask for it with Curl

whether they really want it;

read, is it to be taken seri-

The cakes are placed in the drying room

an opportunity for putting on any finish

EXTERIOR OF BUILDING.

The building has an east front Of % feet,
40 feet deep, and three stories Of thick
brick walls, which were built for the man
ufacturing business.
The general manager of the
concern, Mr.. A r. Jeserich.
is quite well pleased with the business so
far and says the present is much better
than they could have expected any where
and he is quite well pleased over the pros
poets for the near future, He is assisted
by Mr.. W. S. Werden, professor, who has
direct charge of the mechanical work Of
making soap, The process used is not
known as the boiling or "cold" system.
1t is sort of free for all 90 between that
brings result that is forcing itself on the
market quite rapidly. The system used
was put TO practice the first time about
five years ago by w. q. Crane, of James
vile, Wisconsin, who moved to Middle
town, New York, and has since made quite
a success of the business 1t was there
Mr.. Werden learned the process sufficiently
to handle the business successfully. In
the Wichita plant the raw material is
taken to the third floor, and consists of
tallow, caustic soda, vegetable oils and a
turning out soap consists in measuring out
in certain proportions the materials and
placing them in a hopper They are al
lowed to run from there to the second story
to an iron tank, There are two of these,
cylindrical in shape, six feet in diameter
and ten feet high and set on end. They
are supplied with open and closed steam
pipes, wuich are used in melting the ma
terials, preserving low temperature The
mixture remains in the kettles about an
hour, when they are conducted to another
large iron tank, where perfumes are added,
and within a few minutes it can be CON
lucted to the mixer, where it is treated
in the manner the
name of the receptacle would suggest
A shaft on the inside with knives attached
takes the liberty of turning at the rate of
three or four times per second and the

soap are compelled to put up with it. The !

hardships to which the Siberian exiles are
exposed, having been an eye witness, adds
a great interest to his discourse; His
pleasing and forcible style has made him
great favorite in the lecture field, while his
words carry with them the weight of
truth. The Boston Journal says:
Mr.. George KEENAN, held another great
audience spell bound in fremont temple

a new one-in fact, it had never been de-

ADJUSTMENTS
CRAWFORD Grand.

!
"Bunch of Keys" opened last night al
/ the Crawford Grand to good business and
| will be repeated this afternoon and even
| ing A few choice seats remain for the
matinee and evening performance. 1t has
been said that if a woman was going &c
| build house she would first build huge
closet and afterward build the house
around it, because she regards the closet
/ as the essential convenience of the house.
In constructing the Bunch of Keys" the
specialties were first procured and the play
constructed around them because strong
specialties are the essentials of a drawing
play. 1t is different from most plays in
this particular, because specialties are
usually only introduced. The audience
never seemed tired of laughing
at the singular and ridiculous
situations that made up the body of the
play, and it is safe to predict packed
house for tonight. Many of the special
ties are pronounced to be very clever, and
the quartette in the second act was greeted
with applause long and loud.
WE, Us AND co.
We, Us & Co. will make its second bow
to the Wichita public on Tuesday night,
the 25th. The seats will be on sale this
morning at o'clock This is musical
comedy presented by a strong company,
which has made the reputation for the
production. A laugh belongs to every
section of the play, and the play is divided
into about fifty sections, that is laughs at
. cents each In this vale of tears laughs
are cheap at that price.
The singing is highly spoken of by the
press, and all in all it would seem the pro-
duction honestly earned a good name.

ONE LEG, AND THAT BROKEN.

Mr. Charles Lander who came here rep
resenting himself as the advance agent of
the postal telegraph system, left the city
under rather peculiar circumstances. Sew
erai weeks ago he broke his leg or a de
fective sidewalk, for which he received $500
damages and signed a quit claim. He was
removed to the hospital where he was treat
ed for fracture of the thigh bone. He
was beyond question very i'll and in no con
dition to be moved. The first day he was
in the hospital an ambitious attorney call
ed on him and made arrangements to re-
pudiate the quit claim he had signed TO
the city on the grounds that he was labor
ing under a severe mental shock at the
time he signed it. During the early part
of the week. shortly after the arrival of
another agent OF the postal telegraph, Mr..
Lander lost all interest in law suits and
had his mind concentrated on the one idea
of getting out OF town. In spite of all the
physician could say, he was moved on a
stretcher and left the city several days ago
and this rash act will probably cost him
his life Since his departure several of his
checks have been returned endorsed mo
funds and, although little is known about
his career, it is generally supposed to be
checkered. 1t has also been limited that he
was an old hand at the business and imposed
on the physician, and in reality never was
hurt at all

AMONG THE PHILISTINFS.

A well dressed man, who comes to the
state ostensibly for the purpose of buying
a stock farm, with view to breeding
horses, fell into the hands of the Philis-
tines last night. He came to the Valley
house late in the evening, having lost his
luggage and not having any accurate idea
Of what part Of the city he had been in.
He seemed to have been drugged and did
not have the appearance of drinking
man. 1t seems that he took a drink with
a train acquaintance, and suspected some
thing wrong so got away before losing
any of his valuables. 1t is probable he
will remember something about the
of his luggage this morning

loyalty of the citizens generally 10 the well

feeling diminished he had found it stronger
than ever, which meant good results sooner

BLOOD ON 4 BRIDGE.

Yesterday morning as two men were
crossing the Wichita & Western railroad
bridgeOn their way to work they noticed
that the ties near the west end were
blood stained On examination it was
found that the blood could be traced from
the bank to the end of the first span,
where the water was the deepest, and there
stopped. Quite little pool was noticeable
on the last tie. A hasty examination of
the bank revealed nothing that would
throw any light on the subject, and so
many people pass that nothing could be
told from the footprints. The men went
to their work, being employed on the new
school house on the West Side, and
thought nothing more of the matter until
evening. At that time, finding no devel-
Opments had been made in the case,
they reported the case to Officer Harmon,
who reported the facts to headquarters.
Today the matter will be investigated.

A GROWING BUSINESS.
A YOUNG SOAP FACTORY DOING A
CLEVER BUSINESS,
Not "Hot or Cold" System but the
Result is Laundry and Toilet Soap
Promptly all the Same,

Among the important industries in the
city may be mentioned the plant of the
New York Soap company on Rock Island
avenue, near Division street. The gentle
men engaged in the business decided to To-
cate in Wichita about six months ago and
commenced business without jumping up
for bonus, or even without making a big
noise about what they were doing and 60
ing to do. They were determined to saw
wood and say little, for they were fgur-
ing alone on business and not wanting to
sell out. A correct idea may be gained of
the building in which the plant is located
