THE CITY FINANCES.

A member of the council finance COM
mittee stated yesterday that it had been
expected that the county treasurer would
be able Ia turn over to the city on the 18th
inst. about $50 600, but owing to the fact
that taxes were not being paid in, the city
proportion would scarcely be over $4,000,
according to his information, now on
hand. OF this amount already over Sll 600
had been secured, which would cut down
the available funds on the 18th inst. TO
about $50 600. His memory prompted him
to say that the city indebtedness at this
time was between $4,000 and 100000.
This amount composed largely of running
expenses and the interest and payments
on bonds. The bond installments and IN
terest On the same, in his judgment,
should be paid promptly, and even at the
inconvenience of the running expenses.
In order to meet the great demand for
money growing out of the rapidly accumu-
lating indebtness, the funding bonds to
the tune of $4,000 would be issued some
time this month This money, added to
the amount to be received from the county
treasurer, is thought to be sufficient TO
pay up most of the bills of long standing
and place the city within $4,000 or $4,000
of being even with its obligations. The
S50,OoO funding bonds will be bonds ali the
same, running for thirty years, and, it is
thought, can be sold at rate giving the
city reasonably cheap money.

CHANGE AFTER WILLIE GOT WELL
The Proposed Cut OF Salaries Opposed by Even
Those Who Wanted to Work Cheap
Wichita Boys Leaving for Topeka

The report of the State Senate Codifying
committee cutting down the salaries of
county officers, was considerably discussed
at the court house yesterday, and among
those who howled loudest, longest and
most pitiful was w w. Ayres, who
claimed during the campaign he would do
the work for nothing and board himself and
Bob Coates. He wanted no pay. Every
thing had been run in terrible way. Aw-
full expensive, and the honor was all he
wanted. But the election deal had made
it imperative FOR him to not only board
Bob, but one or two traitor Republicans,
who had also sold out, and wanted jobs in
the Office. They We're getting old in cleo
ton Doodle sin and infamy, and had been
twisted in by Bob. All these had
to be taken care of and he did
not want to starve with them
according to the plan of the Republican
codifying committee. There was much
shaking about the matter; many symp-
toms of nervousness, and, now being in, it
was thought good scheme to increase
salaries and have a gay old time with the
menagerie collection representing many
election Doodle dens in the United States.
D'e' SNAlOd9iy SDCdAlhS, IL was ACNoliCu
that Sedgwick county officials have much
more work than many other counties. A
system of fees giving sufficient to Butler
county officials might give too much TO
Sedgwick and, a stipulated amount,
enough for work done in Butler, is not
enough for Sedgwick, as was conceded by
some who were discussing the matter
IL is thought the delegation from
Sedgwick county will look after
matters concerning the county and
see to it that the county officials are not
imposed upon Yet should any one in
office want to do the work for nothing it is
thought the delegation can have a special
act passed which would accommodate the
gentleman as long as he should remain in
office.
Quite a number of the boys are throw
ing few shirts and linen into valises and
bouncing off to Topeka some want to
see the fun, some want bread. The fun
fellows are not as numerous as the bread
seeking contingent. They are figuring on
many schemes. The LOBBY will be repre-
scented from Wichita. A few interests
have very smooth workers in Wichita who
always appear before Kansas cheap legis-
latures as wanting exactly what they
don't want. The scheme is that the money
fellows who always work hard on all
matters go to the opposite wanting money
and not getting money act just as it is
desired they should.

MRS. HOCKEY AT HER BEST.

Judge Keenan's court was crowded
yesterday afternoon to hear the Mrs.
Hockey trial. But few on hand were
really interested in the proceedings be-
yond the point of drinking in the great
sensation. They had not been able to
overcome their great appetite in this very
old topic of sensation. Most of them were
small hats and big collars but none had
gained much reputation rs being ward
and state manipulators in politics. The
Mrs Rocky was playing big card. She
was smiling. 1t was a tough smile, as that
was about the only kind she is able to
manufacture.
The complaining witness told his story
or a part of it. He described how the
muzzle of the gun felt against his ribs
when the ROCKY woman was manipulating
the scenery. He did not complete the
story, but will probably get through with
it today, when he will reach the point
where he held short interview with the
big dog after lunging through the win
dow. To prove this feature it is said he
will produce the remains of his pants worn
on that occasion.

JUST BEFORE TAKING.

The special committee on hospitals is
reported to be standing quite still in the
bushes. They don't want to be detected
until after the spring election, according
TO talk among some of the councilmen.
The economy storm that broke in and
handled the tumble weeds so lively just
after the bond issuing stampede reached
out to the hospitals 1t was insisted that
one hospital could handle all the city pa
tients and do the work better, and for less
money, than the three receiving city aid
The committee, so far, has been content
to say nothing except when called upon,
and then state that a certain hospital
would do all the city work for a certain
amount and would, in due time, get fig
ures from the other similar institutions.
They have not, so far, submitted any rec
concentrations and it is quietly given out
that each institution has its friends, and
it would be dangerous to cut off supplies
from any one of them. In other words the
matter is considered to be something like
dynamite, and of the kind that should not
be handled with IMMUNITY at this time of
the year. 1t was suggested by one MEM
bers, who holds over, that be was yet ready
10 CTONu Jhe eCOncilly LhIedOeHeu SoLue
time ago, and he might be cruel enough to
bring up the question partly in the interest
or economy, and partly in the hope OF hav-
ing just a little fun.
There are some other matters in the
back ground which, as claimed, will likely
not be agitated for a few months. This is
the opinion announced by some on the in
side, who are interested. They claim any
one who is friend will not insist on them
calling up things which will cast a shadow
upon the MONDAY sun popularity.

THE WICHITA BRAVES.

Mr. Burlington, one of the dumpy pri-
Yates in the infantry company, in the face
of the situation relieves himself as follows:
II would rather live coward than die a
hero" "And so say many of us" is the
answer from the company in line ''in
place rest" The fear and trembling in
the ranks is one of the leading topics for
discussion on the streets.
Col Callahan has offered to help the
boys. His scheme is to raise volunteer
company TO take the place of the dress pa
rade fellows and his co mpany will be join
ed by all the brave members of the COM
pany, and the weakened fellows can re-
main at home Lieut.. Harry Gordon says
he will go, but he wants it understood
that he don't want any chief with a big
knife to disturb his pomp hair, and he
won't allow any interference of that kind
if he can prevent it. The physician re-
ports Lieut.. Munyon's pulse increasing
every hour. Emphatic symptoms of heart

HUMANE SOCIETY WORK.

The Humane Society met yesterday
afternoon at Prof. Stevenson's Office, and
some very encouraging reports were re-
ceived. Representatives from several of
the churches were present and reported
that they would accept the fields assigned
them. One mistake was made in regard
to the territories assigned, that for the
United Brethren, Lutheran, and Afro
American Home, should have read, Doug
las south to Lincoln, from Wabash east to
Hydraulic. Mrs Martin stated that all
soldiers children could be provided with
shoes by applying to Mrs. Sheppard, AIS E.
Central. The condition of the treasury
now causes US to make another appeal TO
those members who have not paid their
dues, and to others for contributions.

AND DOWN WENT THE STAND PIPE.

One Of the old time landmarks is gone.
II fell down after few years Of service and
many years of standing. The old rusty
stand pipe of the first station OF the first
water company, has been let down. Three
years ago a petition was sent in to the city
council from the property owners in the
vicinity to have the stand pipe removed.
They were afraid ie would fall on their
children. who, around It found vacant
place in which 10 play. The council
ordered it down, but it did not down. Re
minded again, the street commissioner of
the times, Mr.. Stone, was ordered TO in
form the water company TO pull it down.
He reported progress and the excitement
abated and the stand pipe lowered up
among the higher institutions of Wichita.
Finally the water company got ready to
remove the rods on one side, aud yesterday
the pipe fell amid the cheers of the vicin-
ity. 1t was smashed uD considerably. but
the pieces will be stored away at the water
company's station and preserved as speci-

CAUGHT At LAST.

Officer Snyder was very badly frightened
about midnight last night near Lawrence
and Douglas avenues. He saw something
walking along the avenue looking like q
man and then it did not. 1t was on the
''now you see it, and now you don't plan.
Not having believed in hack mysteries
and ghost dances to any alarming extent
he was prepared to make an investiga ton.
He took after it, but it travelled like an
ostrich with legs and wings. The wings"
apparently of good service. He finally
caught it on Lawrence and Kellogg
Snyder was quite weary and wanted rest
but there was no time for it.
The find" was delivered to
Turn Key Hedger, who pronounced
it a female, wearing male clothes. The
specimen was carefully preserved by Civ
ing it one of the calaboose cells ahd Judge
Museller will be called upon to continue
the investigation today.
Some of the police have reported seeing
something of the kind few times during
the last month. 1t has been a topic of
considerable speculation and thought by
some that the female detective craze has
struck the town, but another says that
certain husband has been getting home
very late-if at all-during the last few
weeks, and the specimen in charge has
quite an interest in him.

a BOLD HOLD-UP.
Foot Pads Opera.e Successfully Under an
Electric Light and in the Presence
of an Audience.

About midnight last night a man was
walking north on Main. He was in the
middle of the street, and when at Tenth
street, almost directly under an electric
light, he was approached by man on
either side. One held his attention with a
revolver while the other made an excur-
sion through his pockets. Within very
short time and the performance was over.
and one of the foot-pads went east and the
other west, while Thomas Ashton, the fell
low interviewed, went north as fast as he
was able to travel. He is young fellow
and the experience attached to a loss of
sl4 and silver watch was heavy tax on
his nervous system.
The performance was witnessed by Earl
Hartle, who was block south, and he
remained south strictly until IL was over.
