NOT IN GOOD HUMCR.
The Vice President OF h. Consolidated Eie9tri
Interests Thinks the Council TOO Hostile
Toward HIM.

Mr.. Charles A Dustin, vice president of
the Citizens Electric Light company aud
the Wichita Street Railway company is in
the city spending few days looking after
his vast business interests here. Usually
Mr.. Dustin is joyous and happy when he
visits the Peerless Princess. but he was
not in good humor yesterday when the
EAGLE man met him. 70 use strictly
western expression he had the blues ana
had them bad The cause OF
Mr.. Dustin's dependency is a
small matter which shows that
even small affairs will affect man so dis
tInguished in eastern financial and b@si-
ness affairs, as he is This is no less than
the action, or rather disposition Of the city
council, in practically refusing the cleo
trio light company permission 10 build a
swith not more than 100 feet long from
the Missouri Pacific track to tie engine
rooms Of the power house Oh Wichita
street.
1t seems VIXEN the Citizens Electric
Light company and the Wichita Street
railway company consolidated they for
mulated certain plans to greatly enlarge
their plant on the corner of Third
and Wichita streets The widow
Of James Oliver owns seventy-ive-feet OF
ground north OF the electric light plant,
and, for building purposes, the electric
light company agreed TO purchase this,
provided permission could be obtained to
build switch. Otherwise, they would
have no use for it, as it would cost too
much to transfer the coal from the track
to the engine houses. III order to sell her
property Mrs. Oliver set about getting up
"A petition for permission to build the
switch, and succeeded in getting several
name on it. This petition was read
in the council meeting Monday night,
and was laid on the table. Tn hiking
that the petition would be granted as a
matter Of course, Mr.. Dustin left Hart
fora for Wichita with his head full of
plans for the enlargement OF the power
/ house, but when he arrived here he ascer-
/ tanned what the council has. done, and
hence his dependency. Having great
faith il Wichita himself, he converted
the members of his company in New
England into the idea Of placing some
more money here, aud now he SAYS he Will
have to face them with this evidence OF
unfriendliness by tie Wichita city coun-
Gil. He says 1t Is a very hard matter to
get eastern capitalists TO invest money in
Kansas at present owing to the unfavora.
/ bic reports concerning securities in the
state ard that it is absolutely impossible
| to get them to place money in any com
| munity in the state where the powers that
be indicate hostility to the enterprise fol
which the money is needed.
Among Mr.. Dustin other plans he had
in view the relaying of the track, the
building of new cars and a thorough over
| hauling OF the street railway system. 1t
is also intimated that the company was
giving good deal of favorable considera
plant here.

At ST. JOHNS.
The Musical Concert Gi.rn There Las, Might
success.

Despite tie elements last night aud the
anticipation OF baby cyclone. a large
crowd OF people gathered at 81. Johns
| Episcopal church TO enjoy the musical
CONCERT given there.
The building was elegantly lighted and
handsomely decorated Tor the occasion.
At $50 the program commenced with the
"Miller's Song o. chorus of the Wich-
tia Musical clab, directed by Mrs. Robert
Smythe Il was very we'll rendered, TO say
the least.
The second number WAS vocal solo,
"Murmuring Zephyrs," by Robert Smythe,
who received hearty applause.
81 viii Magnify Tn-e," vocal duet
sung by Miss Lennon ana Mr.. Garst, was
the next on the program, aud il was very
fine.
Number was vocal solo. la Ciecs,
which was admirably rendered by Mss
| Mathilda Lennon. Miss Lennon $ GER
tainly il beautiful singer. local would-be
critics to the contrary Notwithstanding.
She has 4 beautiful voice and well deserves
the reputation she has achieved. Il Is
needless 10 say that Miss Lsnnon was
heartily eacored.
Inc next DuGDer was Anchored Dy
the Silver Lake quartette, aud was quite a
treat They responded to a well deserved
encore, but did not improve on their first
effort by any means.
! The Silver Lake quartette were followed
! by the Wichita Musical club singing the
! Angeius This was rendered very sweetly.
| Here Rev Won Herlick announced a
| change OF programme which dispensed
| with the vocal solo, I've Got a Siypeuce,
which was to have been sung by Mrs.
| Garst. This change was made in order to
/ give wider scope for the genius of Miss
/ Vance, who Is a beautiful singer. Miss
| Vance was, of course, given hearty en-
| core and she we'll deserved it. She after
wards sang the Swanee River with Miss
/ Lennon, which WAS admirable TO say the
very least. These two ladies were the stars
| OF the evening and their praises were
! sung on every hand. The piano solo by
! Mrs. Robert Smyths was very sweet and
richly deserved the applause which it
| called forth. The remainder of the pro-
gram was up to the standard, and taking
it altogether it was IA very superior con-
cert. 1t is gratifying TO note that the re-
| ceipts Were very satisfactory.

VERY HOT.

Yesterday was a scorcher. How hot il
WAS Is a question upon which 10 TWO men
could be found 10 agree. One swore that
il was los 10 the shade, another 10 and a
man told the EAGLE reporter that he knew
il was lis. Tie fact of the matter is the
heat. when il was most intense. was no:
more than loo. This is hot enough for
anybody, aud too not for comfort Cool
drinks were in demand and ice cream
was selling like hot cakes in the
winter time. One dealer told an
EAGLE reporter that he sold nire gallons
o. butter milk and could have sold five
more if he had sufficient foresight To
lay ia Az adequate supply. The patrons
OF prohibited drinks suddenly became
temperate and one knight OF the
white apron told an EAGLE man early n
the afternoon that he had sold fifty six
bottles Of Mauitou water up till t8at
time, and he expected 10 reach the enc
hundred mark before night No accidents
from the heat were reported except IN oGe
instance and that was at the Asphalt Paw
ing company's works on Ackerman's l.
land. This. however, was not serious
