AT THE POLICE STATION.

Christmas brought its joys as well as its
sorrows. Perhaps the place where the
sorrows were most thoroughly displayed
was in the police court. And they were
there While the blue coated and brsss-
buttoned minions of the law may seem
harsh and cruel in the administration of
the law they are sworn to obey yet there
are many cases that come before them in
which they are bound to exercise that
spirit that is not only boru ofevery human
breast but has individually been taught
them at their mothers knee.
Go to the station any night in the week
and you Will find this proven true. Last
night was no exception, and more men
Were turned loose than were locked up.
Still there are characters that must be
dealt with, and there were some of them
last night.
Ted Hazlett wanted to fight the whole
town and paid $40 for the privilege.
John Bromlet did likewise and paid IS.
John Conrad thought he could whip
Sampson, but when the ghost of the bray
ing animal appeared before him he gave it
up and paid So
H. Murdoch disturbed the peace of AIDE
line Maria jackson, and paid s. for the
fun he had.
Five soiled doves paid So each, and the
big bird that wore the greatest plumage
contributed $50 toward paying the salary
of the police.

TRAVEL IN BAD SHAPE

The recent snow has played havoc with
travel on the railways. Ali, or mostly all,
the trains on every road are from two TO
twenty-four hours late and chaos reigns
supreme. 1t is impossible for ticket
agent to give any information about them
and they candidly say so.
The Wichita and Western is in very bad
shape and traffic on it is practically
suspended. At 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon a train started over il from this city
pulled by two engines besides the engine
OF the snow plow, and at a late hour it had
not reached Goddard, which is only four
teen miles distant. The snow is not so
very deep on the tracks, but as the
ground is hard and dry it keeps drifting,
making It impossible for the snow plow
to make any satisfactory progress.
SO far as heard from no accidents have
occurred or no extreme suffering has been
reported. The road between here and
Newton is in good shape but all the trains
from the east and west are encountering
serious impediments and are late. Rail
road men say they do not remember
time that the weather has affected Kansas
railroads so badly.

Sunday was a terrible day on the street

wheel could not touch the rail it Is next

SIZE Is A WOMAN.

It now turns out that Mrs. Howe IS,
after all. woman, notwithstanding re-
ports sent out from the northwest saying
that she WAS a man. Mrs Howe, 1t wiz

HOW CHRISTMAS WAS SPENT

Sunday was Christmas day but owing
to the exceedingly unpleasant weather 1t
did not bring as much joy as usual To
be sure all the churches had excellent
service programs and those who attended
them enjoyed them very much, but only
the most religious attended for ones faith
must be stiff to venture out such day as
Sunday was. The Cathedral which is
usually overlooking at Christmas high
mass was only comfortably filed. On
the whole, barring the extra sweet things
upon the table, Christmas was nothing
more than an ordinary Sunday for the
good people Of Wichita.
Yesterday an attempt was made to OBJ
serve the day. but it was vain one The
banks were closed, but among the business
houses the usual hours of business were
employed in business pursuits. The livery
stables. during both days, reaped harvest,
for there was excellent sleighing and every
team was in demand The postoffice was
closed except during a few morning hours.
The courts did not do any business because
they had no business to do and the county
and city offices were opened at the usual
hours.

All the scholars and visitors received
gifts of CONNECTIONS, oranges, etc.
There was no Santa Claus, but real
enjoyable religious service throughout;
even the gifts were object lessons to teach
the children of Gods great gift to a lost
world, and the children and congregation
made liberal offering to the orphans
cause.
The church was beautifully festoensd
around the pulpit platform. altar railing,
on ceiling brackets and across the audience
room. There was great golden crown

POORLY ATTENDED.

The concert given Sunday evening BY
the Mendelssohn Quintette club was very
poorly attended, while the program was
splendid. Only about twenty seats were
occupied in the parquet of the opera house
and not many more in the balcony.
OF course the inclement weather,
coupled with the fact that the street car
service was practically suspended, was the
cause of the slim attendance and not the
reputation of the club or any lack of APP
probation by the music loving people of
Wichita.
1t was a rare treat and the few who
braved the terrors of very active blizzard
to hear it were we'll paid for any inconyen-
iences.
