WORK WHILE YOU WAIT.
Thc Dawn Of Better Days for wichita ana til
West.

west.
According to reports from eastern cities
we have no reason to be discouraged III
Wichita. The business outlook for mer-
chants and manufacturers, and the pros
pect for wage-earners could not well be
more discouraging, even at points where
there are large accumulatiOns OF wealth
and great surplus of idle money. Funds
/ locked up in deposit vaults are of no use
to any one, but on the contrary, give evil
dences Of want Of confidence which
must prevail to insure healthy state of
trade. In our western cities there is lit
tie or none of our capital tied up
in this way. The greater oppor-
tunties for investment keep every
dollar in active use, and in this there are
no bardships peculiar to the times here.
while the reverse is true in all eastern
cities Evidence of this is not wanting
even 10 blind man. The street walking
brigade tells the story in the most EN-
phatic terms. Thousands of people who
would gladly accept any honorable en-
ployment, even at half wages, are depen-
dent upon charity for bread. Trades peo-
pie are between the upper and neither mill
stones of dull trade and clamorous cred
itors. All are simply waiting for the bet
ter day which may come soon or it may
not.
bad here The proportion of de-
peedent poor is SO small that
it IS not regarded burden to provide for
Them Provisions are abundant and cheap,
aud almost every one has some visible
means of support. Not only this. but.
with many there is a surplus for saving.
This is proven by the unprecedented sale
of shares in our building and loan associa-
tion since the first of the year
There are reasons for this state of
things, neither superficial nor temporary,
The chief of which is that the country
tributary to Wichita is but partially de-
veloped. There are opportunities coming
along with growing population which
cannot exist where every acre is in cuitiva-
ton. aud every branch Of trade worked to
its greatest possibilities.
Go west for opportunity" is the old
time motto which has peopled the west.
Its import is even more pertinent today
than ever before. The depression east will
bring many good citizen to consider and
apply the principle, and the result will be
a change OF residence to the west. Every
family and every dollar added 10 the al
ready favorable conditions will bring so
mucn improvement 20 Wichita. 1t often
occurs that we can wait as proftably as
we can work, but if every man uses greater
diligence while we wait 1t will greatly
facilitate the return OF permanent, healthy
growth,

SOL IN A SWEAT.
Verdict Agreed Up II In The Arkush Criminal
Lsb.l Case

Yesterday mOrsing at o'clock when
Judge Reed took his seat he was con.
fronred by twelve lawyers. each one OF
whom held either an envelope contain ing
the papers in a case in his hand. or law
book, or both. Three Of them were inter-
ested in having sheriff's deed to some
property lid in by the State National bank
set aside; another wanted Il sale confirmed;
one wanted divorce for his client. it
would only take Eve minutes; still another
wanted To file motion; four
wanted to call his his Donors attention
TO some references, and the other
three were waiting to engage in a criminal
case that would De called as soon AS the
other lawyers would release the judge at
tentiOn.
At ten minutes past II o'clock the jury
Was called and the criminal business for
the term Was formally begun.
The first case ON til. docket was that o;
the State vs.. Edward Clark. charged with
criminal libel. The defendant in this case
is a railroad ticket scalper He has been
engaged in the business for several years
at 3i4 East Douglas. Ga the 22i day of
last June, Sol. Arkush rented space
enough III the office of the coal
company as No. 4l6, to start an op-
position brokers' shop. Tiers was nothing
in SOILS action to Indicate a lack OF mod
esiy. He painted the front OF his house ia
glowing colors, red predominating. He
announced to the public. in a far more at
tractiye form than his next door neighbor,
that be would sell tickets around the
world aud return cheaper than anybody,
especially the defendant. He had loads Of
printing done. setting forth the fact that
there Was but one place on the round
earth TO buy tickets, and that was At SIC
East Douglas. He performed other fea,s
that were incompetent, irrelevant and i'm
bacterial, but they excited the wrath of
the defendant and caused him to wish
he had never been born. Life became
a real burden to the object of Sofs piqUe,
and the defendant went for him. Mr..
Clark issued n little dodger, that set forth
IN poetic language the virtues OF the COM
planning witness, as viewed from the de-
fepdaut's standpoint. And one night, u
beautiful summer night. lovely June
night. when all nature was wrapped In the
most charming and blissful repose; when
everybody, printers aud policemen
were asleep, this brief, but pointed. adj
dress TO the public WAS strewn over the
principal streets. and people were led to
believe that something wonderful had
happened during the night. That day
witnessed the most violent commotion
among the ticket brokers ever
witnessed anywhere, and that was what
led to tue legal duel yesterday in the dis
trict court.
But it is over. Senator Bentley made a
hot fight for his client, aud Joe Henley
assisted Mr.. Boone in his efforts 10 con-
vict the defendant. Mr.. Bentley In his
mastery effort spoke Of Soils charming
social life and that of his alter ego in
way that left not moist eye in the court
room, and said that for five years he had
lived in the very white of the public eye,
socially.
The case was given to the jury at 5:45
and at 6 o'clock they had agreed on u
verdict.

KILLED ED FULLER
FOUR STRANGE MEN TAKE THE
REMAINS TO PURCELL
One OF the Men Said to be Terri
torial Outlaw Who is Accused of
Many Crimes-Nery Suspicious
Circumstances Surround
ing the Case,

Last night information of a peculiai
case, probably murder, came from Pur.
cell. Yesterday four men arrived at that
town with the body of a young man APP
par-ntly twenty years of age. They pro-
decided to the undertaker's, paid cash down
for a decent burial, and were quite liberal
with the amount. They stated to the un-
dertaker that the young mans name was
Ed Fuller, that his home was at Pond
Creek, where his father resides, and that
he WAS accidentally killed by his uncle at
Wemoka Springs, twenty-five miles east OF
Purcell. They stated that the uncle was
fooling with a gun and that it accidentally
went off and killed the nephew.
While the four men were talking to the
undertaken citizen of Purcell recognized
and spoke to one of them. A suspicious
glance was exchanged, and Immediately
the four men left the undertaken and rode
hurridly out of town. The matter was re-
ported to the officers and three deputy
marshals rode after them.
The man whom the citizen of
Purcell recognized was the man who
was arrested near Ponca two years
ago for completely in the murder of the
telegraph operator at Wharton and the
conspiracy TO rob the Santa Fe train, and
who afterwards broke Jail and escaped.
The report from Purcell is that there is no
doubt about the identity of this man.
This fact, with the queer actions of the
four men who accompanied the remains of
the alleged Fuller, threw Purcell into
quite Juror of excitement The excite
ment was intensified when it was learned
from Pond Creek that no such man was
known there. 1t became evident at once
that there WAS something mysterious in
he case
The theory is that the four men who &C
companied the body TO Purcell are the
Maupin gang, and that the dead man was
either one of their number WHIP was killed
while in a raid or was murdered or acct
dentally killed by themselves. The Mau-
pin gang has consisted of five men and it
is quite co-incident that one of them
answered the description of the deceased
as to age They have been prowing
around along the Santa Fe for the past
three or fonr weeks, since they were prac-
tically driven out of the Rock Island ter
ritory.
When the above facts and suspicious be-
came known at Purcell yesterday, not
only he officers of Oklahoma we're noti-
fed, but also the officers of the Sauta Fe
road.

HELLO CENTRAL.
Some Telephone statistics That Are Quite
Int resting.

The business of a central telephone sta
ton is by no means bad index to the
business of a city.
To ascertain what Wichita is doing
compared with other cities OF its size a
reporter for the EAGLE called on Manager
Chipchase yesterday and found that dur
ing the first three days OF the week the
central station had been called 1851
times. Monday the calls were 3,45S.
Tuesday they were 3,311 and On Wedues-
day they were s, s62, This makes an aver
age of 5, SO calls per day. or call and a
half for every man. woman and child in
the city.
Theirs are five operators aud 400 instr o.
ments. The operators answer over 100
calls day, or more than call minute
during the ten business hours, so it can be
seen that they have not such picnic as
people suppose they have. Each telephone
in the city is used over eight times a day
on the average.
Wichita, in the use OF the telephone,
stands foremost for it's size In Spring
field, No.. the average number of daily
calls is only $500. Ia Topeka the average
is only $500, and IN population it is larger
than Wichita. In Cedar Rapids. Ia,
the average is only 1900, while in Bloom
iagton, Illinois, the average is only . too
Iu the south the telephone is net used
very much. Memphis is much larger
city than Wichita, but it has no more
telephone instruments in operation and il
is doubtful whether more calls ara made
daily. Galveston has only about 200
telephone instruments aud the calls per
day do not far exceed 100. Fort Worth
is perhaps the liveiiest Texas city, and
while it is larger thao Wichita its tels-
phone system Is hot near so extensive
and perfect.

The new sheriff has made new rules for
the government of the county Jail. Here
tofore visitors were admitted to the cell
of prisoners every day in the week, blu
for the future Tuesdays and Saturday
only will be visiting days. Another rule
regarding visitors is that no children
under ID years of ago will be permitted
unless they are accompanied BY
their parents or guardians. Undel
he old rule one mans time was occupied
altogether nearly in attending TO the Jail
door in order to admit visitors who cam.
at all hours of the day. It's not necessary
to admit visitors every day. Nine out Of
every ten O: them have no business to the
Jail anyway.
The new order will not go into effect till
next Sunday. 1t might be proper to re-
mark here. in order to prevent any mis-
understanding. that at the proper hours
on Sundays religious people who desire tC
hold services will be admitted.
