on the question of women on ju-

that Lizzie Borden had been tried
by a jury of her peers when no

1t will probably surprise no one
to learn that the Boston ladies in

be best all around to have women
serve as jurors where women are
on trial.
Many arguments we're advanced
in favor of this-that a woman

1t was decided that Mr.. Chas. b.
bin, Jr., surveyor, draw up'a map
OF the proposed line from New
iberia via Gales station, via st.
Martinville, via Breaux Bridge to
Arnaudville, as soon as possible,
showing exactly the number of
plantations and number of acres
of land on both sides of the Teche
and the proposed line. which could
be benefited by the proposed
railroad. Also as may the pro-
posed line from Breaux Bridge to
Lafayette. After this is done, he
Mr.. K, will turn over the docn-
ments and offers proposed by both
lines to the proper authorities to
act upon. In the mean time Mr..
f., will inform you at what time
he will be able to visit our section
in carriage from New Iberia to
Arnaudville, and thence to Lafay-
cite. F. R. MARTIN,
Chairman.
There is nc doubt that the EARN
estness Of the people IT the upper
Teche impressed itself even more
strongly upon Mr. Kratsschnitt,
by the second interview, after he
left here, and we urge upcn them
not TO relax in their efforts. This
is the first earnest move they have
made, and from the experience
gained in the efforts to secure
railroad connection between Able
vile and New Iberia, we can as
sure them that the chance of sue
cess are excellent-betier than
were ever held out to the towns
mentioned.
We can assure them that New
Iberia will give them all the as
sistance it can. We are confident, |
if st. Martinville will join us, as
it is to it's interest and as it alrea-
dy shows disposition, that when
the railroad to the upper Teche is
built it will be continued from st.
Martinville and have it's southern
terminus at New Iberia. Such a
line would traverse the rich and
beautiful section all along the
Teche up to its junction with the
Courtableau and up that stream
10 Port Barre. New Iberia has
already scored the first point, in
he change Mr.. Kruttschnitt an
bounced at Thursdays interview
would soon be made, that is of
'unning the st. Martinville train
lirect to New Iberia instead of
topping at Cade's station, as at
1. Enterprise.

The Proposed Railroad to
the Upper Teche.

On Monday last, the committee
from the New Iberia Board o.
Trade, composed of Messrs james
A. Lee, r. +. Hogsett and Edw
T. Weeks, together with the st
Martiuville committee, Messrs
Robert Martin and T. ]. Liable
visited Breaux Bridge, and there
met committees of the leading
mon of that town and of the
heighboring town Of Arnaudville.
They found a very strong senti-
ment favorable to railroad connec-
ton with the outer world, and
committees were at once appoint
ed from all the towns named to
confer with Mr.. julius kruttsch-
nit, general manager of the Sou
thern Pacific Railroad, at such
time as he might appoint.
The New Iberia committee had
already asked for this appoint
ment from Mr.. Kruttschnitt, and
on Wednesday he notified the
committee that he would be in
New Iberia on Thursday. The
committees from above were at
once notified, and DR.. F. r. Mar
tin and Mr.. Albert Domengeaux.
representing Breaux Bridge, ar
rived here on the 6 O'Clock train,
Thursday morning; Messts. A.
Durio and Rogers, of Arnaudville,
were at Sunset, on their way here,
and the st. Martinville delegation
were about to start, when Mr..
Kruttschnitt, accompanied by
Supt. Owen and Mr.. Randolph
Natili, rolled in on his special car
at $50 a. M As he had but a
short time to stay, the Arnaud-
vile and ST. Martinville delega-
tions we're notified that they would
be too late, SO that they did not
come. !
The Breaux Bridge delegation,
together with Messrs Pharr,
Ersth, Lee and McMahon Of the
New Iberia Board of Trade, met
Mr.. Kruttschnitt and the matter
was submitted to him very intelli-
gently. He was evidently inter-
ested in The project, listened at
tentively and posted himself on
all important points. The pro-
position that maps would be fur

POLICE COURi 4.

There was one, just one, case on the
docket in the police court yesterday at the
morning session, but it was a dandy. II
was ighborhood quarrel case. One OF
those cases where Il woman's tongue had
done more damage in All hour than a
cyclone would do in the same time.
Minnie Robbins was charged with as
sault, aud 20 the question AS to whether she
would plead guilty" or mot guilty" she
responded like "a little man, guilty"
When asked if she had anything to say in
eXtenuation O: her conduct she said the
complaining witness had tongue like "A
wagon and used it at both ends, that she
had called ali the names in her vocabulary,
which was not very extensive, but 1t an
swered her purpose. As a reward for this
liberal use OF her tongue the defendant
decided to whip the prosecutor, and she
did SO. The Judge fined her S6 for this
pastime which was promptly paid, and
the defendant left the court room with a
temperature of at least 2V0 in the shade.
My! but she was hot. And such a glance
as she gave che three other women who
were present as witnesses, would have
done credit To dragon
At TIE oclock session VIII Reeder, a

The chief told the reporter that William

was charged with keeping dog without
paying the tax. 1t was very difficult to
make him understand the modus operandi
OF the dog law, but he wound up by offer
ing the judge dollar to pay the tax on
the worthless canine and stop all further
trouble. He was given twenty days to
get rid of his bone of contention, and he
went out rejoicing.

elling was chairman of the county COM

the hands that tried to smite him and was
one of Lewelling's loudest supporters. 1t
was he who bought the electrotype cut of
Lewelling that was seen OH all the Popu-
list badges and he went down in his
pocket and put up for Lewelling' $
campaign $50 that he was put in
Il position to earn by few
Republican votes. Besides this it is said
that he hired two bands at his own eX-
pense for the torchlight professions last
year. Notwithstanding all this he had
the gall this spring to be candidate for
reelection. The Republican members of
the board of education got on to the kind

TO BE SHUT OFT.

The stalwarts are to be shut out in the
coming campaign if the fusion conspiracy
that has been formed will work The
fusionists are afraid of the stalwarts and
they are determined to get away with
them early, by giving it out that they
cannot have place on the ticket. They
say that they can aud will:
do this by reason Of having
a majority of the board on their side.
According to their statement the matter
of getting out the tickets is to be in the
hands of County Clerk Carvin, County
Attorney Boone and District Clerk Kies.
it is Just as certain that Carvin will be as
honest in the affair as kies will not be.
and the matter practically rests with
Boone. The fusionists say that
Boone will so with kies and
that he has to. 1t appears
that Boone, during his recent war, or at
tempted war, Oh the saloons got ia bad
oder with the fusionists and that he must
do something to put himself IN good
standing with them again. Indeed it is
said that he is extremely an Xious TO be re-
instated in their ranks, and is willing to
do anything to please them, but as this
Information comes from a fusionist it
may or Il may not be right.
Some OF the stalwarts think thht
Boone will hardly bo guilty OF going
into conspiracy of this kind aud many
of them believe that he will not. The

THE CHIIDREN'S HOME.

During the last two months the build
ing fund of the Wichita Children's Home
has RECEIVED the following donations: Mr..
LewisSRhodes, of (Maize,) 81 pledges col
lected by Mrs. w. Z. Buckner, placed in
the collecting basket at the annual meet
ing aU the First Presbyterian church, 50. 80;
the Rowlee children, 81 10; from the post
office box, 35c; half of the proceeds from
the ice cream stand at the park on the
Fourth, S25 26.
The building committee has built a sum-
mer play house where the little ones can
enjoy the breezes and yet be sheltered from
the powerful rays of the sun, and there
they spend many a happy hour keeping
house with their dollies and toys. This
summer house has cost considerable
money and the committee were more than
glad of the money earned at the ice cream
stand.

LET THEM WAIT.

If eyer there was time in the affairs of
this city when careful, prudent and
economical action was required, it is right
now. Other cities are cutting down their
expenses in ways that are a great incon-
venience to their people, while Wichita Is
still going ahead on high pressure in the
matter of lights, water and the expenses
Of the police and fire departments. All of
these items are on a basis OF a city of
10000 people and they cost us at least 3311
per cent more money than they ought.
There is just as much sense and
business in a city curtalllng eX-
penses as there is for railroads and private
corporations, and especially SO when
high tax levy fails to produce funds
enough to meet those expenses. But 1t
seems that Notwithstanding the existing
extravaganza in the city affairs, there are
several schemes pending to put the city
deeper in debt. The fire alarm, the cerma-
tory, the opening Of streets are all matters
that can wait until such times as the city
them is demanded at this time. Mayor
Cox vetoed the ordinance appropriating
money for the opening of additional
streets and if he should veto every similar
appropriation he ought to have and would
have the support of the tax payers and
every true friend of Wichita. The action
of some of the members of the council
and the zeal with which they push their
pet schemes are the subject of no little
comment which is far from compliment
ary to them. II there is one expenditure
more than another that the people could
stand it is when labor is given to the poor
and needy. but even in that they do not
want the city to furnish employment that
they are unable to pay for. There is now
no money to pay the current expenses and
some of the interest due on outstanding
bonds had to be borrowed.
