farce comedians next week, presented by
Rentfrow's old established and highly adj
mirable company of comedians. whose
trade mark is the Jolly Pathfinders.
The personnel is composed of people well
known; in the vaudeville world. and people
whose ability to amuse is far ahead OF
their many unsuccessful rivals. Promi-
nent among their array Of talent may be
mentioned the petite injenu soubrette.
Miss Gypsy Ward, who figured SO con-
spicuously last season in Lost in New
York" and won the hearts of the western
public. Coleman and Haden, the famous
Boston speciality team, are with the COM
pany, and also Lucier and Archmere, from
the San Francisco vaudeville.
The bill in which they sing, dance and
otherwise make merry Monday night is
called Fun by Express bubbling over

full of catchy music, ripping songs and
graceful dances Another pleasing feature.

THE SLATE BROKEN.

The best laid plans of mice and men will
some times fail them. This was again
demonstrated Friday night at an Alliance
meeting on the West Side. 1t seems the
Alliance and the Democracy have been
together and slyly conspired to carry
the city in the coming municipal election,
but the innocent blunder of an Alliance
brother has knocked their schemes into a
cooked hat. The agreed and stipulated
contract between them was to have the
Alliance nominate candidates for the
school board and fail to nominate csndi-
dates for the council and the Democracy
to nominate candidates for the council and
fail to nominate candidates for the school
board. On election day the whips" of
both parties were to be used in getting the
Alliance TO vote for the Democratic coun-
cilmen and the Democrats to vote for the
Alliance candidates for the school
board, and thus effect fusion
that wouldn't be a fusion. as one
of the Alltauce men puts it. Friday night
the Alliance met on tbs West Side and
proceeded to carryiout the program. Ac-
cordingly candidate was nominated for
the school board and everything looked
bright for the scheme but unfortunately
there was a statesman present who had
not been put on to the racket and he arose
aud placed a man in nomination for the
council and before the fathers of the
scheme fully realized the situation the
man placed In nomination was nominated
When this proceeding, became known to
the Democrats they howled treachery and
at present the relations existing between
the two parties are somewhat strained.

WICHITA ALWAYS GELS THERE,

Caswell and Buckley, the well known
cornice manufacturers of this city were
given the contract yesterday to put on the
roof of the new government building at
Springfield. Mo, which will amount to
auite large sum of money. Many other
bi Is were in, but as usual the gentlemen
demonstrated that Wichita can do things
that even Kansas City ana st. Louis can
not do.
They were naturally glad at being given
the contract. Their good luck did not end
with the government contract, for they
got two more large contracts on the heels
of it. One of these is the roofing and cor
nicing of the Ingalls, block of FL Reno, o.
r., and the roofing of the Hartwig block
of this city.
Well. Caswell and Buckley,-vy their en-
terprise and method of doing business, are
entitled to patronage, and no one will envy
their good luck in the least, who knows
them

attorney of Topeka, who were both present
and heard all that WAS said. will verify
my statement on this point.
There being reasons, unnecessary to be

II is well TO add here that the part OF the
interview to which Mr.. Spencer takes ex-
ceprion TO is as follows:
He was about the city o good deal and
investigated the workings OF the prohib-
itory law to some extent, but could find no
evidences to justify the rank statements
SO frequently made with reference to the
application of the laws. In fact, he said
he WIS little bit stuck on Wichita and
considered il quite decent town."
