ST. PaTlCk' s DAY.

Five or six hundred people are praying
that Thursday will not be as bad "a day as
yesterday was and they are depending on
good ST. Patrick to intercede for them TO
that end. 1t is an old saying that ST.
Patrick's Day is always wet whenever a
celebration is held, but it is the hope of
hundreds, whether they believe in old
sayings or not, that the coming St.
Patrick's Day will be an exception TO the
rule. From present appearances the ball
will be as an big affair at least as has been
held in Wichita for five years. Thomas
Shaw, the music man, has assumed the
management of it and will direct its
affairs and every body who knows Mr..
Shaw knows that no man is more capable
of running ball to suit the people than
he is. Irish flags have been ordered fromMr.
Humble for the event and with American
flags Will meet the eye whenever it turns.
The florist and his art Will be brought
into requisitiou and the odor of sweet
scented flowers will permeate the room.
Pictures of the noted men of Ireland will
hang on the walls side by side with
American heroes and in addition to all
these things the electric lights will :be
the hall green cast and so as the red
haired damsel cannot be distinguished
from the blond. Mr.. Shaw, who has had
great deal to do with balls in this city,
says it will be the biggest thing of the
kind that has ever occurred. The ex-
penses are enormous but it is gratifying TO
note that the indications are that the re-
ceipts will meet them as tickets are going
fast. Three editions of invitations have
been exhausted and there is not one left,
but of course anybody who has been
neglected, and this always occurs, can be
properly attended to s. by calling on Mr..
Shaw. A special train Will run down from
Newton and letters received from Yelling
ton, Runneymeade, Caldwell, and other
places, say large delegations are coming
from these places

A HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE.

The home of Ike Dean in Waco town
ship WAS totally destroyed by fire on Satur-
day evening. Mr.. d. and his wife were in
the city at the time. The hired help were
feeding the stock when the flames were
discovered bursting through the roof. As
luck would have it his two little children
were at a neighbors, otherwise they might
have been caught in the flames. Nothing
of importance was saved except some of
the furniture by the neighborS. His wife's
jewelry, silverware and other valuables
and family treasures were all up stairs and
all destroyed. Mr.. Dean says he feels that
he was lucky in that the baby and its
sister had left the house. The property
was insured for about 40 per cent. OF its
value

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE OF KANSAS


Will open an institute for the treatment
of drunkenness and the opium habit at
Winfield on Wednesday the 10th. This
company now has five institutes in the
state Noother state in the union has so
many. The Kelley company of Kansas
has the exclusive right to operate under
the Leslie Z, Kelley system and use the
Kelley remedies in the state Of Kansas.
Up to this time %, 600 men have taken the
Kelley treatment and the records of the
company and the bi-chloride OF gold club,
an organization composed of men who have
taken the treatment, show that only five
per cent of the cases cured have relapsed.
The institute at Winfield IS designed to
take care of all cases in the southern por-
tion of Kansas, and is in fact bringing the
treatment to the patients to obviate the
travel and expense of going TO the northern
part OF the state for it. The prospects are
that the institute will start out well as a
large number of prospective patients from
Wichita and elsewhere have declared their
intention of going TO Winfield as soon as
the institute opens. See business an
nouncement elsewhere in this issue.

One Of the Heaviest SHOWS for Years Fell in
this City Yesterday.

One OF the heaviest SHOWS that have
fallen in several years fell in this city yes
terday. About clock in the morning a
sleet began falling and an hour later the
sleet was succeeded by snow which kept
pouring down for twelve consecutive
hours. Old timers say it is one of the big
gest one DAYS snowfall IN the history of
Wichita It made things disa2reeabie for
the town folks, but nobody regretted that
it occurred. for it Will be of incalculable
valuable to the farmers of Sedgwick
county 1t Will furnish a sufficient amount
of moisture TO prevent drouth, at least
The few farmers who ventured into town
rejoiced over it and expressed themselves
as decidedly OF the opinion that with the
two or three good big rains that preceded
it a big wheat crop IS assured. The street
car tracks were blockaded for part of the
day, but by hard work they We're cleared
before night, and in some parts of the sys-
tenn cars were running steadily, but
slowly, of course, all the afternoon The
trains maze good time considering the
weather. and only few of them were late
Reports were received from various places
throughout the state, which indicated that
the snow was general throughout the
west.

FROM WESTERN KANSAS.

Mr.. L. Sims of Dodge City, Kan, is here
attending the L. ). court, Mr.. Sims is an
influential and old time resident of west
ern Kansas, and came to Ford county
eight years ago. He is engaged in the
wholesale and retail -four feed and coal
business, besides being an extensive ranch
owner, stock man and farmer. He states
that the business is now improving. The
wheat Is looking very fine in Ford and a
number Of the adjoining counties. There
are no flies or anything which will inter
fere with the maturity of the wheat, a
fact which makes farmers happy, business
with the merchants better, and an adj
vance in the price of farm lands The
prospect is fully two hundred per cent.
better in western Kansas today than it was
one year ago The wheat acreage in these
counties is POO per cent. greater than last
year.
One of the important and very
useful products of the soil OF the western
counties is alfalfa, which is now being
raised very extensively. Therearenowilarge
fields of alfalfa there, which is very sue
cessful and almost certain crop. besides
being a very profitable one. Mr. Sims
states that he recently bought car load
of bailed alfalfa which he sent to Ohio
For feeding it is verJ fine, and the gentle
man states that last year he fattened his
hogs with it and found it to make fine
meat. The corn crop last year was good,
but there was not large acreage to har-
vest. His is good stock country. Hogs
and cattle are extensively raised. but
more cattle than hogs are raised. Some
thing that the farmers of Southern Kan
sas have taken great interest in of late, is
raising fine blooded tortting and draught
horses. Their PRINCIPAL stock markets are
Wichita aud Kansas City, nothing what
ever being marketed in Chicago. Mr.. Sims
says that merchants in his part
of the country are beginning to realize the
fact that it Is 10y a good deal the Cheaper
way ~ get their goods from Wichita than
from points TWO hundred miles or farther
away. He has been doing considerable
business with the Wichita packing houses
ana found that it is much more profitable
than going farther away.
In speaking OF the effects that another
good crop might bring about, the gentle
man said that in the event of another
good crop the value OF western lands
would he enhanced very fast Now is the
time to invest. he said. for western lands
will never oe as low again as they are
today.
Mr.. SIMS is a member of the Republican
state central committee and has just re-
turned from a meeting at Topeka He
states that the political pot is heating aud
will soon have reached the boiling point
Mr.. Sims is Republican aud says The
first man he voted for was John c. FREE
mont. and he has never voted any one bat
a Republican since He says the chances
for the Republicans are loo per cent better
than year ago. In answer TO the ques
ton Of what he meant by this he said that
it means that I'VE are going 20 down them
sure this year"
