WICHITA DOODLE CASE.
A Jury Finally Secured in the Trial of
the School Board.

the School Board.
WICHITA, April 20-After examining
seventy-one men a jury for the trial of
the boodling cases has finally been Sc
cured.
The challenges of both the state and
defense were exhausted or the selection
would not have been made SO soon.
County Attorney Boone asked for a
continuance until tomorrow morning for
the reason that on that day no school
will be held, thus enabling the teachers
to come into court and testify without in
terfering with the progress of school
work. This was objected to by the de-
Tense, but Justice Jones thought it was
proper to grant the continuance.

TALLEsT MAN IN THE WORLD.

Interesting Facts About Frank Harding,
Who just Died at Strong City.
STRONG CITY, April 2O.-The funeral
of Frank Harden, which has just taken
place, recalls many facts in the life of
the "tallest man in the world"
The deceased had travelled with many
circuses and appeared with Barnum
when that Snowman made his celebrated
tour with the six largest men in the
world and Harden was the tallest of
the six. His real height was seven feet
and four inches, but when fixed up for
exhibition he measured two inches more,
seven feet and six inches.
The coffin in which he was buried
measured eight feet and four inches.
Owing to his weak constitution Harden
was compelled to abandon the show bust
ness, and lived in Strong City for several
years Strong City was very proud of
Harden, and he served that corporation
as marshal several terms. His princip pal
duty while marshal was to stand on the
depot platform, arrayed in well fitting
blue uniform, topped off with tall felt
hat when the trains arrived
During the summer months he was
also required to accompany the small
boys on bathing expeditions to the creek.
Regular days and hours were established
for bathing, and it was ludicrous sight
to see Frank, surrounded by a crowd of
small boys, on his way to the river.

The fire this afternood was in the two
story stone barn at the rear of the Topeka
Steam laundry 625 Jackson street The
fire started presumably in the hay in the
NOV.
A dense volume of smoke was pouring.
from the window and doors when the fire
was discovered. The dangerous location
of the fire, its close proximity TO the
grand opera house and the Masonic
building, and the high wind made
the second alarm, which was turned
in at 1:45, calling two additional hose
companies, wise precaution. The fire
was soon controlled and the barn was
saved, at loss not to exceed $500. which
is probably covered by insurance.
A humorous feature of the fire was
when the colored woman who lives next
door stood guard over six by ten patch
of grass in her front yard with a carriage
whip She piled it vigorously on several
men who failed to keep off the grass.

Manager Monroe of the "Aunt Bird

the house had quarrel, which culmln-

on the stage and yelling for the curtain
man to drop it, and being promptly in
formed to go to place where frees
capes are not in use.
The first intimation Manager Bowen
had of anything wrong was the forms of
two youngsters emerging from the main
entrance with velocity that attracted
his attention. "Get out of here or I'll
throw you both down stairs" said the
manager of 'sAunt Bridget" harshly.
"What's wrong" asked Bowen, "and
what right have you to kick my employees
out of my theater?"
"That's all right, old man, you can't
come any sneak in games on me. These
two boys came in through the stage, and
not having pass, I reserve the right to
have them elected as l may see fit"

''Stopv repeated the Brady manager,
holly, ''this play will not go on till those

After a wrangle of useless words the
matter was settled by Manager Bown,
who, to avoid further difficulty, paid the
price of two tickets out of his own peck
ct, and the performance continued amid
loud applause from the audience.
