FIRE

About 10 O'Clock yesterday morning a
boy passing up Market street saw smoke
and flames coming out of one OF the win
dows in the basement of the Sedgwick
block, at the rear of the building. He
gave the alarm, and the boys Of Fire Sta
ton No. /, which is just across the street,
were at once upon the ground. The fire
was in heap of waste paper which had
collected, in the course OF time, from the
cleaning OF the Office rooms in the build
ing, and which had been thrown into the
basement TO be used as fuel when the
furnace should be started to heat the
building. For while two streams were
thrown upon the blaze, but in fifteen
minutes after the first water was thrown
the flames were subdued and one stream
suffioed 10 extiuguish the smoulder!ug re
mains. The building is TIE property Of
the Sedgwiek Loan and Investment com
pzny, and only short time ago
was endangered By FIRE which
broke out in an Office on tbs first
floor. where the electric wires became
crossed. The origin OF the present IRE IS
not known, as there had been no FIRE in
the basement since the furnace was put
out in the spring. Tie janitor had left
the room where the FIRE occurred not more
than half an hour before; and unless Il
was Occasioned by spontaneous combus-
tion, or By moase's uibbling a match ac-
cideataliy gathered up among the papsrs,
thus lighting It aud causing the papers 20
catch, there Is no possible way 70 account
for the blaze The theory OF spontaneous
combustion is Ios well received, as the
IRE was on top OF. not in the middle OF the
heap. The only damage 10 the building
was the chsrring Of the coal bins, IN
which the papsx had been tbgaHn.

start by firing his revolver. This company
would have made splendid run had it
not been that one of the men got tangled
up some way and fell, thereby delaying
the others to some extent, but as it was
they did the required work in just 2S11
seconds.
The Caldwell team then harnessed them
selves to their cart and at the signal made
a splendid start, every man being in readi-
ness and the ropes ali drawn tightly. They
made one of the prettiest runs ever made
with time of 27S< seconds, but in at
tempting to make the coupling the man
dropped the nozzle and they lost by only a
fraction of second The closeness of the
race made it more exciting.
After the race the city fire department
made an exhibition run, but as it was just
at supper time a part OF the department
could not turn out, but in a remarkably
short time the hose wagons from Nos
and and the chemical engine from No.
were on the ground. corner Third and
Lawrence, and had stream of water
turned on. It was a nice exhibition and
the iremen OF the other towns could not
help but be surprised at the work exc
cuted.
All the visitors and the participants en-
joyed themselves very much and is will
long be remembered. The work of the
good people of this city was amply repaid
by the enjoyment the visitors drew there
from. Everywhere one could hear eulog-
isms and praise on Wichita and its people.
Everyone thought so and many said SO.
When the north bound special train left
at 9:15 last night, the entire train load left
the city giving cheers for Wichita and her
people. The engine blew three distinct
prolonged blasts in honor of Wichita.
Although the crowd of 10000 people was
not as large crowd as had been expected,
and Notwithstanding that the time of the
year compelled hundreds of railroad people
to remain at their posts, it was good
celebration and worthy of the city it was
held in.

w. X. C. SOCIAL.
w. STEVENSON,
Supt. Schools.

The Woman's Relief Corps gave a very
pleasant social at Garfield hall last night
The attendance was quite large and a
most delightful time was experienced. A
select program had been arranged for
the occasion and consisted of recitations
by Mrs. DR.. Furley, Miss Mona Boyd, Mrs.
Sandefer, Mrs. Lawrence, Vie Kissler and
a song by Miss Belle Reed. Mrs. Dr.
Furley also favored the audience with a
piano solo, which was very elegantly exc
cuted. A better program would have been
presented but for the rain, which kept a
number away. After the recitations the
baskets containing. choice sweetmeats,
etc, were auctioned off to the highest
bidder and much merriment created
thereby. Still more merriment was oc-
cssioned by the bashful youths upon
whose hands baskets remained. A sue
cessful affair it proved to the ladies who
never tire in doing their utmost to afford
their guests pleasant evening.
