i RATHER TOUGH EXPERIENCE.

VIM. Thompson, of Arkansas avenue, a
man of 90 wears, with gray hairs, stopped,
and showing evidence of many hard bat
ties through life, and withal, evidently
above the average in intelligence, was in
court Yesterday charged with maltreating
his family. 1t appeared in the evidence
that the old man aspired to exercise some
control over his own affairs, and told his
son to do some certain thing, and the boz
responded BY striking the old man with a
club. The old man tried TO defend him
self but was unable. The strong son
knocked him down and the second wife
came up with her big foot and thumped
the old man many times in the ribs. Tn
conscious for a time, the old man lay on
the ground. no one to assist him Finally
he recovered sufficiently to get into the
house. His head was badly cut above one
eve and showed evidences of a club in other
places. He was his own doctor and at
tendant, and the next day the second wife
and son had him arrested on the charge
mentioned. He was jerked down town by
a constable and in due time came to trial
1t may be recalled that few weeks ago
after a series of domestic disturbances he
was forced to take poison, hoping to end
all. He recovered, however, as claimed, by
the aid of friend who CHANGED to come
along. the disturbing elements in the
family joining with him for once in the
hope he would die.

INCREASED RAILWAY FACILITIES
NEEDED

4 prominent Wichita man in the course
of a conversation, said yesterday:
wichita needs more railway facilities to
promote the jobbing, manufacturing and
stock interests of this city. There are sec
tions which can now only be reached by
an indirect route and veXatious delays
\ direct line to Mcpherson is one of the
possibilities and one which we hope to see
under construction at an early day Har-
per city is anxious for a direct line to
Wichita, and the contemplated Wichita
and FL Paso railroad should be pushed for
ward at once. We need line southeast
to connect with the Fort Scott
and Gulf road at Cherryvale.
Another direct liue to Kansas City, and
still another south 10 the coal fields in the
Indian territory. With these lines built
Wichita will then be in position to han
die jobbing business which will De Of
untold value.
"With large elevators in operation the
grain center of Kansas is then estab-
lished.
with all of these settled there is no
room for doubt as to the future of this
city.
The jobbing business is virtually set
tied. The stock market and packing bust
ness is settled, so that all remains now is
to settle the grain center with elevators.
and increas all lines OF business with in
creased railway facilities"

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH FAIR.

The attendance at the fair last evening
was very good-better. in fact, than any
previous evening The crowd that was in
attendance was somewhat restless, owing
to the absence of music of any kind.
Among the attractions for the children
was fish pond from which various kinds
of fish" were caught that would have
surprised Isaac Walton very much.
a guitar was ratified off and was drawn
by Edward Dillon, of South Emporia, who
held No. 40.
The receipts from the dinner and supper
were considerably more than on any pre-
vious day.
The voting on councilman continued to
attract the attention of those in attend
ance, and the bevy of charming young
ladies that have charge of the balloting
can persuade the dimes out of the pockets
of the most obdurate old bachelor in exist
ence. The young ladies in charge of the
fancy bazaar and candy department are
also quite willing TO exhibit their wares.
Those who have attended the fair ex-
press themselves as well pleased with the
exhibits and the methods of conducting it.

THE CILY SCHOOLS ALL RIGHT.

DR.. Stevenson, superintendent of city
schools, stated yesterday that the interest
in the school work appeared to be such as
To reflect credit on the teachers. Every
thing was moving along nicely with very
few rough places. One of the certain indi-
cations of the proper amount of interest
shown was the record of attendance.
With possibly one exception all the
schools show a steady attendance grad
ually increasing. The few days intimat-
ing winter had not made a showing in re-
ducing the attendance. Mr.. Stevenson
also observed that the pupils in the schools
are neatly dressed and present a clever
appearance. 1t had been his observation
that the western cities would excel the
east in this line. The cause of shabby
clothing and uncleanliness was due main
ly to poverty and hence he concludes that
it is all plain that poverty is not as much
of an element in the west as in the east.

DEMoRALIZING ALLEY PAVEMENT.

The alley paving in many places shows
! evidences of having been greatly disturbed.
/ The contractors are kicking, the property
! owners, some of them are on the war path
and looking for some one whom they may
/ devour and there is trouble on the
/ Wabash generally. In many places the
stone pavement in the alleys is torn up and
/ practically not put back at all. The dirt
thrown in loose until apparently about
/ high enough and the stone blocks care
/ lessly dumped in on top. 1t is always the
I case that there is more dirt on hand than
/ is necessary and that is left wherever it
may perchance be thrown, and in many
Instances there is more stone than is neces-
/ sary. The contractors are very much sur
prised at the amount of paving that can he
done with very small amount of stone
| They are not acquainted with the outfits
making the changes, but if they had met
them months ago they could have
! paved the alleys with very little stone
The new style is to dump it in diagonally
/ longitudianally latitudinally and top
! siturvingly," and in fact most any way to
/ finish the job or call it finished.
! Ii is claimed that while there was much
energy shown in awarding paving con-
tracts and all that, part of the program
was attended to promptly if not more 50
that no attention has been given to protect
the pavement when completed. No one
appears to be in sight to object to the de-
moralization taking place. In most in
stances where the pavement has been re-
moved the payment has been accepted as
having been put down right and the loss

paving contractors; although the latter
are not anxious to see their work democrat
lied III that way.
1t is said that petition is likely to ma
teur asking that the pavement be pro-
tected. That plumbers, gas and water
men and all others going down in the
ground be invited not to demoralize the
costly improvement not yet paid for.

FIRE INSURANCE ADJusrERs.
The following fire insurance men reac

The following fire insurance men reached
che city yesterday: Col H. l.. iMllard, of
Sterling; S. l.. Long, of Rich Hill, No.
H. c. Keller, of Leaveuworth; ". b
Humphrey, of Lincoln, Nebraska They
met to adjust some losses recently sus-
tanned in neighboring towns. They will
remain in the city a few days
In the course of a conversation last
night one of the party said that in his
judgment it was not as fashionable to
burn out now as it was but few years
ago. At one time it was considered the
thing to do in hard times. Insure for a
handsome amount Thea great loss by fire
would pay out more than the embarrass-
ments. The companies had fought the
scheme vigorously and had learned to
look up a mans record closely and see if
he had any thief blood in his veins, and in
the event he has they fight him to a finish.
He was reminded by one who CHANGED to
be present that possibly some smart adj
justers thought more of robPing the peo-
pie and thus make a good record
for himself in the estimation of
the company at the expense of
people who were honest and had
met with financial misfortunes. OF
course the answer was to the effect that
the better class Of companies had no use
for such agents and would dispense with
their services just as soon as they were IN
derstood.
The communication led to the infOrma-
ton that a spicy item is likely TO develop
very soon in the southwest, concerning a
loss by fire. 1t is in the same old line
where heavy damages are claimed for a
Legitimate fire and, somehow, the COM
panies concerned are going TO try to prove
that it was an incendary effort, and the
fellow who stands ~ l." in his commu-
nifty, who expects damages to the extent
of several thousands of dollars, may miss
the money and fall into the penitentiary.

WICHITA AND ELEVATOR FACILITIES.

Junction City shipped aquantity of corn
TO Liverpool via Galveston. II sold on the
track at Junction City for six cents a
bushel more than could be gotten for it
billed TO any northern or eastern CONNER
cial center.-kansas City Gazette.
From Wichita to Galveston it is just the
exact distance that it is from Wichita to
Chicago. From Wichita 10 New York i
just double the distance that it is from
Wichita TO the gulf With the proper
elevator facilities at Wichita for handling
the grain of Kansas for gulf expectation.
the chances are that all Kansas grain
would command a margin Of six or more
cents in advance Of what the prices would
be if it was all forced to 90 to Chicago or
through Chicago to New York for expor-
tatiou.
