CAUSED ALARM.
The Peculiar Phenomenon Yesterday
Was Widespread.

In Many Places General Alarm Was
Caused, Lamps We're Required in
Churches-It Was Doubtless Smoke
fronfGreat Forest Fires.
Haverhill, September 2s-The atmosphere
has been in a peculiar condition in this
section all day, resembling in some degrees
the yellow day of years ago. The sun has
been obscured by what is supposed to have
been smoke from numerous forest fires. It
has been the general subject of conyersa-
tion all day.
At Biddcford.
Biddeford. September 2.-The sun was
hidden most of today by a dense smoke,
supposed to have come from forest fires
along the New Hampshire line. It in
many respects resembled the yellow day of
thirteen years ago, except it was not so
dark.
At Bellows Falls.
Bellows Falls, VT. September 2.-The
curious condition of the atmosphere in this
vicinity today, caused much speculation re-
garding the cause. Some consider it similar
to the dark day. of 1885, Although the
sun shone all day, it did not cast any
shadow. 1t has been so dark that lights
were necessary in many churches and
dwellings. The sun was very red and looked
like ball of fire all day. Reports from
| Rutland. Windsor and many other.places in
the vicinity state these conditions existed
there. 1t may have been caused by smoke
from forest fires, but seemed too yellow for
that. 1t caused an uncanny feeling and in
some instances, real fear and excitement.

MORE LIGHT WANTED
On the Contract Recently Awarded For Light
ing the City Building.

There is some discussion pro and con
relative to the lighting of the city build
ing. A motion was passed in the city
sign a contract with the Citizens Electric
Light company for lighting the building.
but the contract is not yet signed. or at
least the city clerk had no notice to that
effect as late as yesterday.
The contract provides for lighting the
building with the incandescent service fer
4 mills per hour, ampere measurement;
and with arc lights at Sc per month.
There are three arc lights. The Wichita
Gas and Light company offered to furnish
the incandescent light for mills per hour
and the arc lights for S per month each.
After wrestling with the technical terms
OF this branch of electrical science for
several days, the light committee conclu
ded that the bid of the Citizens' compan y
was the best and so reported. Some
people are not, however, quite satisfied
with the bid aud keep asking the council
men why they should allow the Citizens
company Sc per arc lamp while the other
company offered arc lamps for S. OF
course this is easily explained so far as
these two companies are concerned, for
the Gas and Light company's bid is i
mill per hour more than the Citizens
company bid, but the question is then
asked why the city should pay Sc for an
arc light while the merchants are getting
theirs for s. during the same hours.
1t is not improbable that the contract
may be the subject of further discussion
at The next council meeting. Even at
this price the bids are much lower than
the light was furnished for last year.

RAIN GALORE.
All southern Kansas and Oklahoma Visited BY
aCOpeous Shower

'This is fine" "Bes5 thing that could
happen" "Dampen business now but
makes business in the FUTURE" said mer-
chants. lawyers, doctors, railroad men
and bankers yesterday as they shifted the
drizzling atmosphere.
What did they refer to? Why the rain,
of course. How the many millions OF
drops beat the paving and window panes,
chased each other and danced in pure de.
light for they had reached the land that
loves them SO well.
What will that rain do for Sedgwick
county and Kansas. Ii will do much. 1t
was Il good, soaking, gracious, general
rain. 1t extended from below Oklahoma
City to beyond Wichita and far to the
west and the east.
1t will cause the wheat to grow and give
it more healthy roots, and that farmer
who got his wheat out COO late for the
September rains, or who could not prop
erly prepare his ground, will rejoice.
The land will be in much better condi-
tion for spring plowing and there will be
AN encouraging outlook for corn, and bus
mess looks up with brighter prospects.
The dust is now where it ought to be
and the air is pure since cleansed with the
best of purifiers.
The condition of the weather has been
such. now for some time, that the buds
have began to swell, especially the early
fruit. This has been watched with anx-
lous eyes. and it, was said eve must
have a change of weather or we eau have
no fruit"

est. 1t is now changing and farmers and

1.-The lecture by DIR. Hedley at the Opera

the \. NJ. c. A. course, and it was a lifting
finale. The audience was large one, but
not SO large as the character of the enter
tainnent warrants. The lecturer is Il
gifted man. His flow of language is
something wonderful. His powers of des-
cription marvellous, aud facial expression
perfect so far as the comedy in his lecture
gives scope. His lecture, The Sunny
Side of Life should be heard to be appre-
ciated. 1t makes one better il only for the
evening The doctor occupied the plat

CAPTAIN DALE RESIGNED.
But not Because There Was Ary Trouble in
the Ranks.

Captain Dale has rendered his resigna-
tIon as the captain and commander OF the
Salvation Army in this city, but his sue
cessor has not yet arrived.
There was some talk that all was not
harmony in the Salvation Army ranks and
that it was for this reason the captain had
rendered his resignation. The report grew
out of The statement that two of the mem
bers OF the army who were married few
nights ago refused to be welded by Captain
Dale Captain Dale stated yester-
day that his resignation became
necessary on account of his inability to do
outdoor work, open air services being very
Injurious to his health. Mr.. Daniels, a
prominent member Of the army. said that
there is no trouble in the ranks whatever
He stated, further, that the reason the
couple in question refused to be married
by Captain Dale was that he was not
licensed to perform the ceremony He
was authorized to perform the marriage
by permit from the probate judge, but it
seems the contracting parties did not deem
that sufficient.
The army is doing some good work this
winter, and it is hoped that there is no
truth In the reported dissensions.

MAY FIGHT Her e.
Rumor That Smith and Jackson Have Made .
Mach.
prlSOnnlenl

The local sporting circles were ell excite
from Denver TO the effect that fight be-
tween Ed Smith and Peter Jackson was as
good as arranged.
Outside of Mitchell and Corbett, Smith
and Pete Jackson are regarded as the only
hrst-class fighters now contesting for
championship honors, aud it is not i'm
probable that one of them will yet step
into the shoes of John l.. Sullivan and be
his legitimate successor, if not in the ring,
at least in the hearts of pugilistic eu-
thusiasts
Ed Smith has always said that he would
prefer to fght his next big fight in Wichita
or at least near Wichita. Not more than
ten days ago be wrote here TO friends. in
timating that match between him and
jackson was probable and suggesting to
them to make a bid for the fight at Wien
ita.
One well known sport. speaking last
night said: Smith aud Jackson are go
ng to fight, and we can get them to come
here if we take time by the forelock aud go
after them. Smith will be with us from
the start, and, that being th= case, his
hackers will. 1t is mistake suppose
that we will have TO lrLt up a
lot Of money, and If we did we would
more than get it back, for a fight between
Smith and jackson would draw fully as
many people here as the Mitchell Corbett
fight would. Ed Smith is not here now.
He left some time ago for Denver where he
opened saloon called the Champion's 5
rest. He has not retired from the ring.
by any means, and it is only three days
since saw a letter from him saving that
his ambition is to first whip Pete jackson
and then whip the champion in the
Mitchell-Corbett fight. l expect him here
in few days enroute to the Florida
fight"

PROTEST FILED.
Yates Center Officers SILL Claimn. That
Mattox Reward.

Yesterday the county attorney of Wood
son county appeared on the scene TO take
a hand in the controversy over that reward
offered for the apprehension Of Mattox.
He came here as tue legal adviser of the
Yates Center officers, and the first thing
done was to serve notice on Sheriff Royse
not to pay 500 of the reward he offered to
any person but them. What the result of
this notice will be depends on Sheriff
Royse himself. Conductor Hayden says
that he still insists on getting the
whole amount of that reward, and
states that he does not propose now to
give the Woodson county officers Il cent,
since they have filed this protest aud init
mates that were it not for that he would
do the handsome thing by them.
The Woodson county officers have t he
revolver taken from Clyde MattoX as well
as the sl1 in money found in his pockets
and the question was raised as to where
that belonged. IL was promptly answered,
il is said, by one of the federal officers who
stated that both til. revolver aud the
money belonged 10 Clyde Mattox and TO
nobody else OF course it belongs to him
and it was very absurd 10 ever raise a
question of that kind.
The question OF the reward may vet
reach the courts.
