the Peerless Princess

with suspicion in view of the recent
blow" at Wellington and Harper.
Kansas City Star: Wichita is going to
cut down all of its cottonwood trees. They

boom.

the only spot of dry ground between CHS
holm creek and the Arkansas.
Lawrence Journal: A Wichita preacher
took for his text last Sunday the Yelling

port of the sermon is not given, but it is
fair to suppose that the deduction made
by the Wichita man was that the Yelling
ton and Harper folks ought to have been
living in Wichita when the storm came.
Kansas City Star: A Wichita preacher
wants S. 700 for being called a thief, and
he ought to have it unless he is one.
Lawrence Record A baby was found on
a Wichita doorstep Monday night. Its
maternity is traced to book agent.
Kansas City Star: A Wichita preacher
discoursed last Sunday on Cyclones and
Their Lessons" Cyclones teach the dan
ger which is to be unprecedented from the

forty ice creams bet on Blaine.
St. Paul Pioneer-Press: There is
preacher in Wichita, Kan, who AYERS that

seem to get knocked into kindling wood
every time twlster comes along
Leavenworth Times: A Methodist Holt

ia convention. That town has never yet
failed to entertain its visitors. Kies and
Murdoch live there

Sedgwick Paragraphs: The Wichita
EAGLE admits that it is ashamed to pub
lish the pitifui amount the Wichita people

Philadelphia Record: Lawyer Bird Of
Wichita. Kan, has challenged the judge
of the district court of that section o the
state to fight duel. alleging that his in
tended victim had grossly insulted him.
Bird is evidently game bird, and no tame
prairie chicken; and his affair of honor af-
fords gratifying evidence that the woolly

by the transatlantic fashion authorities il
such matters.

tioued Wichita's duel.
