MR.. BYBEE IN JAIL.
A Stranger Causes His Arrest On a Charge OF
Withholding Money.

Mr.. Bybee, the new proprietor OF the
Goodyear House, was arrested yesterday
and was still in jail last night at a late
! hour although Mr. Ward, his attorney,
was about to get him out on q writ of
habeas corpus. The arrest was made on
the complaint Of total stranger and ap-
parently wsnderer, for no one knows who
he is. This stranger approached John
Goodyear yesterday morning and asked
| for Bybee, with whom he said he lodged
the previous night. He told Mr.. Goodyear
| that he was drunk and went to the hotel
to go to bed, and that before retiring he
gave the proprietor, Mr.. Bybee, SIS and a
revolver to keep for him. Although he
had not seen Mr.. Bybee since he got up,
he complained to Mr.. Goodyear of his folly
in giving money to total stranger with
out getting receipt for it and vouchsafed
the opinion that he would never get it.
His talk aroused the suspicious of Mr..
Goodyear, and that gentleman asked the
stranger whether going around to hotels,
lodging there and swearing next morning
that he deposited money with the proprie-
tor, was not his business At this time
Mr.. Bybee returned to the hotel and before
entering he was accosted by the stranger,
who asked him in the presence of Mr..
Goodyear for the money he deposited with
him. Mr.. Bybee was astounded and pro-
tested that the man was dreaming; thar
he never saw him before and that he re-
ceived no money from anybody. He ad-
mitted that there was revolver in the
Office, but was in total ignorance of the
owner of it. The hotel register was exam
ned and the strangers name was not found
on it, but the stranger offset this by saying
that he was too full" to register when he
came to the hotel He was asked why he
hadn't partaken of breakfast at the hotel
and he replied to this question by saying
he felt too tough" to eat when be got up.
Mr.. Bybee told him he had received no
money from anybody, but that, inasmuch
as he didn't know who left the revolver at
the hotel, he would give it to him if he
would make affidavit that it was his or if
he would bring policeman and get it.
The stranger failed to make the affidavit
and left. Later on he returned with a
policeman, who arrested Mr.. Bybee and
put him in the cooler. At o'clock last
night there were no charges preferred
against him. but his lawyer was unable to
secure his release as the officers said they
could not find County Attorney Morris to
ascertain what he would do in the case.
1t is said that the stranger went to the Jail !
about dusk and wanted to compromise
with Bybee for SIS, and that the latter
gentleman very emphatically told him to
20 to thunder. Mr. Goodyear says the |
witness has hard look and |
that he is confident the charges against !
Bybee are false He was hot about the |
matter last night and thought it very |
curious that a business man could be !
taken out of his office and thrown into Jail |
and kept there on the statement of a
and wanderer who is not known
by anybody in town.

A CHILD MURDERER ARRESTED.
George Wright Taken Back to Warrensburg
No., On q Charge OF Infanticide

George Wright, colored man who has
been laying around the stock yards for the
past two months in the capacity of a
roustabout, was arrested yesterday by
Henry Houser, an officer from Warrens-
burg, johnson county, Missouri, on a
charge of infanticide. Wright is an ugly,
stubborn-looking negro and the officer ex-
pected to have trouble with him before he
reached his destination.
The crime for which Wright was arrest
ed was committed last April, about eight
miles west of Warrensburg The child
was born out of wedlock. and in order to
hide the shame of the mother who was the
daughter of a respectable colored man who
had lived in Usage county all his life both
the mother and father conspired to kill it.
When the conspiracy was entered into,
Wright went to Warrensburg and bought
rat poison and gave it to the child The
death and burial of the child caused no
alarm, but the woman at whose house the
birth took place told neighbor that she
had her suspicious about the cause of the
child's death. The affair got noised about
and finally an investigation was made, but
not till after Wright had skipped out.
The druggist who sold Wright the poison
told his story and upon the mother being
examined as to the cause of the child's
death she broke down and confessed the
whole conspiracy and crime. She was
Immediately arrested, tried and sent to
the penetentiarv for two years. Wright
was traced to Hutchinson but no farther.
In Hutchinson he worked in livery sta
bic but disappeared about the middle of
July and left no trace behind him as to his
destination
A letter written to his mother and post
marked Wichita, Oct. 81" betrayed his
whereabouts and Immediately Deputy
Sheriff Houser was sent here to locate and
arrest him.
Mr.. Houser arrived here Thursday after
noon and registered under the name of
Henry Franklin. He took Harry Bishop,
the detective, into his confidence and both
worked hard until yesterday morning
when Mr.. Bishop located Wright at the
stock yards where the arrest was quietly
made.
Mr.. Houser and the prisoner left over
the Missouri Pacific last night for indie
pendence, Mo-, where the prisoner will be
confined until the next term of the circuit
court of Johnson county to save him from
being lynched, as the citizens of johnson
county are very much excited for Wright
has very bad reputation there.

JESSE BOWMAN YOUNG.

The lovers of the pure and beautiful in
| literature had rare feast on Friday even
| ing in the address of Rev. Jesse Bowman
Young of Kansas City. His subject was,
| what are our Young People Reading?"
From the beginning to the end of his lect-
ure he held the complete attention of his
large audience. His language was pure
and chaste, and his simplicity and clear
ness of expression, his rounded perfect
sentences, as well as the beauty of his
thoughts, could but remind one of Wash
ington Irving His knowledge of litera-
ture was extensive, and it was relief to
hear from the pulpit that the old embargo
against novels" was removed, and that
works of the imagination now had their
proper place. He considered their proper
office to be the, some times needful, one of
recreation, as well as the cultivation OF
taste and the formation of style. The
parenthetical burst of patriotism in which
the incidents regarding the American flag
were given was very elegant, and the clos
ing part of the address, in which he gave
instances of the evil effects of corrupt
literature, was calculated to rouse every
parent there.
The officers of the convention have been
exceedingly fortunate in securing workers
at this meeting. Superintendent Reed,
from the Grand Avenue VI. Z. church,
Kansas City, who led the devotional meet
ing preceding the address. is an exceeding
ly magnetic, earnest leader, who filled the
audience with enthusiasm. The singing
throughout the convention has been excel
lent. rejecting much credit on the COM
mittee and performers.

WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO DO.

While it cannot be disputed that the
country builds the city, it is equally true
that the country needs the city, otherwise
1t would not exist. The city is not founded
on solid basis if it does not meet the re-
quirements OF the country 1t is not
enough that the wants of the country
should be supplied from the CITY, 1t is
not enough that merchants and manufac-
turtles enough to supply all demands,
should exist. There are many more de-
mands equally important that the coun-
try requires. 1t requires not only that
they can buy in the city, but also that they
can sell all of their surplus in the city.
Hence it is evident thats packing houses,
stock yards, inspection of grain, elevators,
mills, canneries etc. are indispensable to
this city to purchase, handle and market
the surplus products peculiar to the eli
mate and soil surrounding us. 1t is not
enough for the merchant doing business in
Wichita to suppose that he is helping him
self intelligently by simply attending ex-
clusively to his own business. However
commendable and praiseworthy that may
be, we conceive there are equally impor-
tant matters that ought to occupy his at
tention. Schools, colleges, art, music,
painting and sculpture should find en-
courageme. and home in the city-in
our city. Religion should find its great
expounders; schools of law, medicine and
theology must flourish. All of these things
add to the Importance of the city, and to
its business, which furnish sufficient
reason why the business man should
encourage and take an active part
giving time and money to establish these
institutions, indispensable in city, to our
present advanced civilization.
The Intelligent banker has other consid-
atoms than cent per cent. The credit of
the whole community often seriously con-
Germs him. The intelligent speculator
should understand he has more to do than
simply make purchase and wait until
the public spirit of others enhances the !
value of his holdings, and just as the mer-
chant banker and speculator, by the use
of that intelligence which alone makes |
success possible, should make the common |
good their private concern, so, every |
dweller in the city, whose well being de- |
ponds upon the upbuiiding of a complete, |
fully equipped city, city to be proud of |
will find that intelligent selfshness. if |
better motive cannot be found requires |
that he not only does well the things his |
hands find to do in his own business, pro-
fession or calling, but that finds time and |
money according to his opportunity and
ability TO upbuild that which when well |
done is the proudest achievement of man,
a city good, great and complete.

at the time and gave 500 for the first
ticket. Four Thousand dollars were taken
In. 1t was a wonderful entertainment.
Miss Marion Manole, the wonderful song
ster, sang. Carmencita danced. Digby
Bell sang. Minnie Methot, accompanied
by Nellie Bangs-Skelton, sang, and host
OF other talent in the zenith of the theatre
cal and musical world, contributed.
Victor Murdoch is in receipt of pro-
gram which gives the poem written for the
occasion by James Whitcomb Riley. 1t is.
The reporter Honor to
The brave man who honors you!
Give him glory and renown
For the glory handed down
By his life and by his death.
Blended with the roses breath
Let your praise of him arise
As an incense to the skies,
Even as his spirit scars
The unknown for you and yours.
Midst the wreck and wrack and distress
OF disasters awfulneSs,
Be as brave as he, and kneel
At his side, with nerve of steel
Loose the pencil from his hand
And write on as might command
His brave soul: "For you died
With my duty, satisfied
So be you, and ever be;
There live thousands like to me
Thousands yet, as loyal and true,
Ready thus to honor you.

A SCHOOL MA'AM HOT.

There was very hot school teacher in
the city few days ago, and from her
standpoint she had right to be. She was
a girl of Sweet sixteen" once, but it was
a long time ago. She realizes that she is
no spring chicken but she don't care to
have anybody remind her of the fact. A
few days ago, as stated, she gave her pupils
a history of mathematics and told them
all about Pythagoras and Euclid. all of
which interested the pupils in general and
one boy in particular The next day she
brought up the same subject to ascertain
whether the pupils had remembered what
she told them on the previous day. John
n.y." said she, when did Pythagoras live?"
'He lived before Euclid" was the prompt
answer. This made the teacher wild, for
she understood him 10 say "He lived be-
fore you did," and taking that as a piece
of saucy sarcasm touching her age, she
proceeded at once to chastise him.
