ONLY A DRUNK.

Last night as the Riverside car that
leaves Douglas and Main for the last trip
crossed the Little river the motorneer
thought that he discovered something
along the track, but not being sure of it
passed on and made his regular trip.
Before he had reached the eLd of his

man bad been killed in Riverside park.
BY the time the word was received
down town a number of people had
arrived at the scene of the accident
and as the report was first given out
it appeared that a man had been killed by
the electric cars, but investigation showed
that the man lying along the track had
not been struck by the car, but was on his
way TO visit sister who lives near the old
brick yard at Thirteenth street. He bad

A COLD DAY

Yesterday was cold day Some people
say that it was the coldest day ever wit
messed in tie Peerless Princess, but it was
not by any means. Wichita has seen a
good many colder days and will probably
see good many more. Il was actually
nice warm day compared with other places
and therefore .here is no kick coming. The
good people of Wichita cannot expect to
bask in the warm sunshine of all Italian
climate ali the year round. II they did
could not expect to escape being
suspected of hoggishness and the
people OF the winning wonder
never were known to play the hog yet.
Now then, TO show the good people
OF Wichita how little room they have to
kick, reports from other places must be
considered There is Bismarck OAK, for
instance At that town the mercury stood
- degrees below zero, and was still going
down when the latest news from there
reached US. What would g. Wichita man
think if he was asked to go out and work
in weather like this5 Aud yet, the Bis
marck people do not MUD il.
Al Helena, Mont, the mercury stood at
46 below zero yesterday morning, while at
st. Vincent it was out of sight altogether
At Duluth, MINI, it stood about 40
while at Great Falls, Mon, it ranged be-
tween 40 and 30.
In Wichita il was only two below zero
at the coldest hour according 10 the signal
service observers report, and yet people
kick To be sure some people found their
thermometers down TO six below zero, but
even then there was no occasion for any
body to find fanlt with the weather.
1t must be remembered that the colder
the weather is now the cheaper ice will be
in July and August, and if this is not a
genuine consolation for those who expect
to live here in the summer, what is?
At2 o'clock this morning the cold was
not near SO intense as it was ut the same
hour the previous night and the proba-
bility is that today will be comparatively

the first post Office saw its beginning

Peculiarities OF Danish Manners and Gus
toms Which Interest the Travellers
Copenhagen is the cheapest of the
northern capitals, and nice, slow-go
place, with wet climate. It's streets,
docks and squares are handsome, and,
as in the United States, the railway is
laid down in the ordinary thorough
fares. The palaces are imposing, and
the shops, which are far behind lie Bon
Marche, are prettily arranged Society
is unemotional, and there is lots of
culture" without the humbug with
which IL IS associated In London. 1t
takes classical turn, Thornwaldsen
being still the artistic god, and every
one being proud of him. In a small
city a great man goes so far, and for so
long time without stopping, that
were providence to have made me
one I should rather for the sake of
my ideas be born in place like the
Danish capital than in Paris or London.
AS soon as Flaxmsn died everybody but
the Wedgewoods ceased to live on him,
and Victor Hugos memory is now only
green to provincial public. 1t must
be said that no people have better as
simulated classical art than the Danes,
and that through Thorwaldsen. What
they have done and are doing in that
way bears such a stamp of graceful ele-
gance as to preclude the possibility OF
becoming old-fashioned. Pompeii is
beautifully initiated in the wall fres-
Goes of houses and of all court yards
rooted over with glass. The imitation
is not slavish, and instead of gods and
goddesses birds and flowers are brought
into the paintings. What is chiefly
classical is the hat ornamentation of
the borders of panels, which is exouis-
ite IN its sobriety and delicacy of fancy.
The cult of ancient Greece and Rome,
as they appeared to the eyes of Thor
waldsen, does not lead the Copenhagen
ers to forego their northern modes of
living. Plenteous eating and copious
drinking are the rule in houses where
they can afford to keep a good table
and well-stocked cellar. j was given
as native delicacy a soup made of
goose, groats, and vegetables, which
might have rejoiced hungry Scott-it

The best dish of peculiarly Danish
character was of red cabbage stewed in
chicken broth and served with a sauce
IN which 1 could detect sugar and vine
gar. Ny host was proud of his Cham
bertin and port. The last is fashiona-
bic as ever in Denmark, where, when
people find out anything good, they
stick to it. A culinary novelty is the
