FIRST ANNUAL MEETING.
Wichita Visited With a Large Number OF Mar
shals and Policemen.

The first meeting of the Kansas Police
association was called TO order yesterday
in the city council room. The visitors,
after the opening exercises, moved that a
recess be taken until today as at that time
a larger number would be present, and
they desired to take in the town. There
were about sixty officers present, and those
who had arrived the night previous in
formed their brethren of the club that they
had viewed the city on the evening before
and had seen sights well worth seeing.
The motion to adjourn until today carried
unanimously.
Upon the Adjournment, carriages were
brought out and the entire delegation, es-
corted by the home officers, were driven to
every point of interest in the city. The
packing houses and stock yards We're the
subject of much favorable comment, as
were the different foundries and factories,
including the SPRAY Yeast" works on the
West Side. They were astonished TO learn
that the yeast works at Wichita stood
third in the production Of the yeast manu-
featured in the United States-the oUiy
factories exceeding the one at Wichita be-
ing the Yeast Foam and Diamond.
The different points of interest having
been viewed the State fair was the next
object OF interest visited, and here the blue
coats became wild with enthusiasm and
cheered Justify as the chargers came up
the home stretch.
On the evening trains their numbers
were largely increased and the fore part of
the evening was spent in relating personal
experiences In experimenting criminals,
but later IN the evening another tour of
inspection was made and the entire num-
Der had not reported at headquarters when
the reporter made his last rounds this
morning.
Taking them all in all, they are a jolly
crowd and are enjoying their visit TO
Wichita. The regular business of the ses-
sion will be begun this morning, and it Is
believed that by united action the way of
the transgressor will not only be hard. but
be will be more certain Of being brought
before the judicial tribunal to answer for
his misdeeds.
At the evening session H. c. Lindsay of
Topeka, was elected president and G. j..
White of Atchison, secretary and treas
urer. Committees were appointed on con-
stitution, bylaws and order of business.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
L. d. Skinner Badly Hurt by the Falling OF a
Picture Frame.

L. d. Skinner. while attempting to take
down a heavy picture frame, at his resi-
dence on North Topeka avenue, yesterday
afternoon, let it fall, striking him on the
foot. The frame fell on his crippled foot,
fracturiug, if not breaking, the ostrapezoide
bone The foot being deformed and the
bone being prominent, the injuries are
considered as serious. 1t is well known
fact in anatomy that an injury to that part
of the foot is considered as most serious
among surgeons, and it is said by army
physicians that wound in the heel invar-
iably proves fatal.
Mr.. Skinner Was preparing to remove to
Chicago, and was assisting in packing his
goods at the time of the accident. To add
10 his af1liction his mother and sister were
both very sick at the time and added to his
other troubles. Mr.. Skinner is entitled to
the sympathy of all.
1t is believed he will not be able to be re-
moved from his house for at least ten days.

MUSIC AND DRAMA,

The attraction at the opera house Oct. 4
and 5 is A. c. Gunter's famous play. MIR.
Barnes Of New York, with Emily Rigl as
the star. Miss Rigl will appear In a role
which she is known TO specially favor, that
of Marina Paoli. the hot headed but warm
hearted Corsican girl, a character which
she has made famous throughout the
whole country. Charles Lamb has been
entrusted with the title role. Burton Ii.
Barnes of New York. Mr.. Lamb comes
from an old stage family, his father, now
deceased, being noted comedian. Mr..
Lamb has had the advantage of the best sur
roundings the stage affords. and in the
part of Barnes. has been very successful
The part of Enid Austnither. the young
English girl. whom Barnes succeeds in
winning during a railroad journey. is now
in the hands of Nay Haines- Moore. "A
young and pretty girl, who added the
word Moore TO her name two years ago.
Mrs. Moore was in the original cast of
"Shenandonh," aud also appeared rs
Ethel Lincoln in the first production of
Mr.. Potter of Texas" There Is also
Horace Lewis who has changed characters.

train OH its way to LYONS, are in the hands
of Helen Lee and Mrs. Roberts. The re-

perhaps the most humorous episode of the
play.
