WOMAN IN TEE CASE,
That is he Ind ,cation in the Evidence OF the
Parliman Trial.

Preliminary examination OF w. h. Par
timan, who, it is alleged, attempted to kill
bis wife with chloroform was held in JUS
tice Jones court yesterday and Parliman
bound over for 81, 800.
Mrs. Parliman is small weak looking
woman. She has sore eyes as result of a
coal oil explosion and she appeared in
court with n two-year-od child. Shs tes-
titled that her husband applied a singing
liqnid to her face which benumbed her
feeling and that she went to the ueighbors
tor fear.
Quite a number of neighbors testified
that she had n peculiar smell about her
dress and that the upper portion OF 1t was
damp.
Concerning their former relations and a
certain visit TO a neighbor woman, Mrs.
McCabe, the defendant stated that he had
passed the night at Mrs. Coles watching
u sick baby.
Mrs. Parliman said 'he told ME
IL was sick man."
Mrs. Cole was put on the stand. Did
Mr.. Paliman stay over night In your
house?"
He dd-watching sick baby"
Mrs. Councilman stated that she had gone
10 Parliman's and asked them to go to
church with her in her buggy; that Mr..
Parliman went, and, instead OF Mrs. Parli-
man, Mrs. Cole went along.
Where did MIR. Parliman sitP"
"Iu the trout seat"
"And Mrs. Cole?"
IN the front seat. was alone on the
back seat"
She then went on to tell how the two
made her sick; that the defendant said
he had seldom SO much pleasure as riding
with these ladies, and other such words.
Altogether the evidence points strongly
against Parliman aud he WAS bound over
under $500 TO appear in the district
court.

Of age. He works as a teamster. and is

consisted of Max Oliver, Lee Corbett,

looked forward for so many years, when
she would reach the goal Of her school

In depicting her many virtues Of mind
and heart, the reverend gentleman could
not repress the tears which suffused his
checks and stiff d his utterauces.
The SOUS of the assembled congregation
evidenced the impression Of the deep af-

GIVE Us BETTER BEEF.

Where is all our good Kansas beef ?"
Is the oft repeated query Of those who buy
beef in Wichita. The answer is: 1T
goes to eastern markets" and we take the
old cows and runts OF the herd. Some
body is to blame for this, and it is time the
responsibility was located. For months
past it has been next TO impossible to get
u decent steak in this market. Every
meat buyer in the city will agree to this
Let any one make the round Of our
markets and see for himself. He would
find ssme pxssable beef, but the larger
proportion IS the stringy cat-hams of half
starved cows, not suitable food for coyotes.
Ii this was the best we had it would be
different, but we all know it isn't prime
ribs of Kansas beef" will be found on the
bill of fare in the best hotels of New York
and Chicago. 1t is preferred to all
other In the eastern markets, but We
do not propose to eat what is not
worth the cost of transportation. If the
stereotyped excuse of retail dealers, that
lit is tue best We can buy" is correct. and
our SO called packing houses are asserting
bull beef for the people of Wichita. there
will be music from the subscribers to the
$500, 900 subsidy. If dealers prefer this
class of goods because they can buy it
cheaper and force the trade to take it at
full retail price, their customers should
allow them to keep 1t.
OF course dealers will deny such charges
in toto, but their patrons will be the
judges The complaint has become gen
eral, though we have said nothing, hoping
for some improvement, but the protest,
coming from so many quarters, prompts
us TO speak out in the interes! OF the pub
lie. There is a frst-class opportunity now
for number of good butchers to select
and kill their own beeves, and furnish
the trade with such meat as We pay for.

THE ARKANSAS VALLEY.

(AS VIEWED BY AN OLD SETTLER.)
By the side of river as limpid and pure
As the tear of an angel In gladness shed:
With an arching of trees whose shade could
allure
To the sweetest repose, on the fiowerlets
out-spread.
With an Orient sky looking down from above,
And a vista OF blue, far away to the eye;
While thrilling the soul with rapture OF love
For land so rich, in earth and in sky.
And the choirster of birds, bable of g1ee,
Swelling with harmony the echoes around;
While the gaudy sunfiower bends from his
tree,
To kiss the dew on the incensed ground.
A south sea breeze from the isles of the flowers,
That winters cold breath can scarce cen
chill:
And a rainbow of promise that follows its
showers
To gladden. its verdure with q tropical thrill.
The years are not long since came TO this land
From empire o state. and far DER the sea,
The first sturdy sires who made here stand;
Now challenging comparison in this home
of The free.
With a valley so broad, so rich in its yield,
A health giving breeze coming soft to the
cheek,
With the wealth that the plow returns from
the field,
Is the home we invite all others to seek.

RAN FROM A CONSTABLE.
Two Men Who Stole Electric Light Globes
Sk.daddIc Lively.


An exciting foot race was run on North
Main street yesterday, when Constables
Sam Jones and Harry Forbe went to ar
rest Chick Hawkins and LET Davis for
filching shades from electric lights in
Roots barn.
Why they should take these shades and
then endeavor to sell them to the electric
light company is mystery. When canght
they pleaded guilty and were given thirty
days in Jail and costs.
Sam took Lef Davis unawares, but when
the wide-awake Chick saw Forbe coming
he quit his clog dancing, darted into the
negro resort and out the back door, with
Forbe after him. Forbe saw him in the
alley as he leaped the high board fence.
''Stop thief! Stop thief"' cried Forbe, as
ne crossed Main street near the court
house, where Park Massey, who had joined
in the pursuit with others. had headed off
the fleeing Chick, and Forbe made the
arrest.

demonstration of the public spirit of the

city and now rises above the embar-
easements and contraction of hard times.
Yesterdays collections indicate that the
auditorium Is an assured fact. II Mr..
Biting met with such unstinted success
in the central portion of town, there Is no

There is some misunderstanding about
the location of the auditorium. The audi

it is meant that it will be built
within two blocks of the corner OF
Main street and Douglas avenue.
Some men are injuring the cause by
declaring that It is to be constructed ia

true.

William of Germany is the
greatest autocrat of all the crown
ed heads Of Europe today. AS the
exponent Of arbitrary and unre-
stricted power the Gar Of all the
Russias is not to be mentioned in
the same dispatches with the
youthful monarch who dismissed
from his post so noted a public SER
want, and so universally beloved
as Bismarck, land pursued the even
tenor Of his way as though such
dismissals were to be thing of
every day occurrence. If William
pursues this course to the end Of
the chapter, boarding the Social
lists of his realm on all possible
and impossible occasions, giving
them no rope and no quarter, and
does all this without being dyna-
mited out Of his boots, then may
he indeed be accepted as the won,
der of the ruling houses Of Europe
and the child OF a destiny stronger
than that which has guarded the
house of Russia.
