A SUCCESSFUL OPENING.

| The booths at the Unitarian fair were
under critical inspection all day Yesterday
The criticism was favorable, judging from
the way In which the useful and fancy
articles disappeared. Although the fair is
to be open two more days, that is. through
Thursday, it is not likely that the supply
will last very much longer Yesterday n
valuable and unique gift was sent TO the
fair managers from Plymouth, Mass. 1t
was guaranteed piece of the historic
plymouth rock upon which the Pilgrim
forefathers stepped on landing in the new
world. The souvenir is for sale at mod
crate price and will certainly be taken by
some one who values its historic associa-
TONS
Last night the "Sniggles Family"
made its second appearance. The stage
was well arranged with draperies
kindly loaned by the Boston store Miss
Millison made most excellent Widow
Singles, her self-possession and her clear
enunciation being noticeable Her daugh-
tiers deserve individual mention, from the
fair coquette down to the inimitabe gig
giles. but space forbids. A brighter and
llvelier set of young ladies it would be
hard to find. With Mrs. Waller as chap
erone and manager behind the scenes, and
Miss Ford at the piano it is needless to say
the performance was a smooth one The
play was preceded by short musical pro-
gram. The Misses Hays contributed
piano-forte duet, playing with power and
brllllancy. Mr. Shipper then sang one of
Shelley's songs Following came Miss
Ollendeifer with a soprano solo, "Musica
Proibita," sung SO pleasingly that the
young artist WAS forced to re-
spond to an encore Miss Ollendeifer
has sympathetic and well cultivated
voice and will be an addition to Wichita
musical circles this winter.
The evenings entertainment closed with
a pretty exhibition of dancing by little
Ethel Bolts. In yellow and black she ap-
peared a veritable little butterfly fitting
hither and thither.
The program for tomorrow evening at
the fair is especially arranged for children.
1t will be children's night, and for that
reason will also probably delight the older
people who like to keep young. On the
stage the rag baby scene from the opera
Wang" will be presented, costumes and
music complete. 1t will be awaited with
anticipation by the friends OF
the performers. If parents have engage
ments elsewhere tomorrow evening they
are advised to send their children to the
Unitarian fair, where they will be amused
and well cared for

GALVESTON AND WICHITA.

W. A. White. representing the Galveston
Export Commission company, was in che
city yesterday interviewing our grain men
in their interest in the matter of a market
for grain. The Galveston company have
just completed an elevator at the wharf in
that city, with a storage capacity of !. 200 =
COG bushels of grain, and with additional
capacity ample for handling all the grain
received and designed for immediate ex-
port. The company is backed by almost
unlimited capital, and having already es-
tablished a trade with Europe and the
south, are prepared to handle all the grain
offered. Ocean steamers take their cargoes
Of grain direct from the company's eleva-
tor, which is great saving of expense ia
handling Arrangements are now making
for providing all accessible points through
ont this section with daily quotations
of grain in Liverpool The new Galveston
firm may be regarded as the pioneer to
what Kansas and the west has long de-
sired and looked for, i. e., an outlet via
the Gulf tide for its surplus agricultural
products at more satisfactory returns than
has been obtainable heretofore.

AN ACCIDENTAL KILLING.
Dave ramsey of Greensburg Shot and Killed
by Fellow Hunter.

Yesterday Joe Dorelaud of Greensbure.
was in the city having come up from
Curtis, l. T., with the remains of Dave
Ramsey. also of Greensburg, which were
en- route TO Quitmao, No, for burial.
hr. Doreland's mission WAS very sad
one, particularly so by reason Of the fact
that be Was The man who killed Mr.. Ram
sey. The story of the unfortunate event
is as follows ia substance:
Some four or five days ago a party of
friends left Greensburg for Curtis on a
hunting expedition consisting of Dave and
VIII Ramsey, Cash Hopkins and
Joe Doreland Saturday they we're
hunting in the BLACK Jacks" about
twelve miles from Curtis. They were all
separated and nobody knew where the
others were. About 3 o'clock D. m. Mr..
Doreland saw what, to him, seemed to be
a bear behind blackjack, but, in reality,
1t was Dave Ramsey, who wore large
heavy cap made of some fur material re-
sembling bearskin. Mr.. Ramsey would
move his head every few seconds, and Mr.
Doreland had no noubt from these actions
that be was bear. He crawled up within
sixty yards of him, and with steady aim
hred. When he reached the spot he saw,
to his horror, his friend Ramsey, who said:
My God, Joe, have shot myselfl'' think
ing that it was his own gun that had been
discharged. Mr.. Doreland explained to
him the facts. and he Immediately made
all arrangements in the event of his
death and intrnsted them to Mr.. Dore-
land. One buckshot was found to have
entered the back of the head, while an
other went in between his shoulders pene-
trating the lungs. In about two hours the
two others who composed the party ar
rived, and the wounded man taking the
hand OF his brother, said "Well, l don't
want Joe punished for this: it is more of
my fault than his, for had no business to
be sitting here, and it is pure accident"
He lived till o'clock Sunday morning
and was conscious up till about ten min
utes before he died. The body was brought
to Wellington Enclosed in a coffin and
shipped to Missouri as stated. The de-
ceased was 40 years old, a widower, with |
one child 9 years old.

CHAIRMAN Jim" CLARKE.
He Tells elbow 1t Was Done in the Suck,
Commonwealth.

| Among the guests at the Carey hotel
last night was Hon. James II. Clark oil
NATION, Ills, at which place he held down
the postoffice for sixteen years without 6
break Mr. Clark is now rich man, q
solid man, and an intelligent man. He
was on his way to Galena Kan, but Joe
Montague, his fellow traveller, insisted
that he should see the Peerless Princess
first.
Mr.. Clark is at present chairman of the
Republican state committee of Illinois,
and managed the recent campaign.
When asked last night chow it hap
pened" he shrugged his shoulders two or
three times and heaved sigh that came
up from the very bottom of his heart.
Organized labor did it in our state" said
he, with a questioning look which was AS
much as to say, what did it in your
state?" "Yes," he continued, organized
labor did it, but of course the school ques-
ton had a good deal to do with the result.
On this question the Lutherans and the
Catholics antagonized US, and while we
squared the Lutherans, the very fact that
we did alienated still more OF the Catho.
lies from us"
In answer to a question he stated that
he did not mean the Farmers Alliance
when he meant organized labor, as the
Peoples party cut practically no figure in
the politics of the state. He did not
think that the victory is permanent, but,
on the contrary, predicted that the state
will undoubtedly go back TO its old place
in the Republican column two years
hence
