FAITH IN WICHITA,

We are told that prosperity is coming
and we are all anxious to know Just how
its influence will touch us as individuals
Looking at the vote cast in Wichita
the other day, every citizen in this city
should feel great qualification that
this city has held its own marvelously
well. 1t has had days of adversely, as
other cities, but it does not show the
tendency to depopulation as many other
CT ties do.
There are two substantial reasons for
this. The first is that the city of Wich-
ita exercises a marked fascination on al
most every ole who has called IL home.
The second is that the hard times have
| been universal and every man has
known that a removal could not benefit
him.
There is cause in that why Wichita
should be alive and awake, as she ever
has. When the great wave of prosperity
swept across the country in the later
eighties that wonder full spirit of business
activity and harmonious and unite0 en-
terDrise on the part of the men of this
city made Wichita the very heart of
that quickened prosperity in the west.
When Kansas began to boom Wichita
men and Wichita enterprise aud Wichita
grit and Wichita tact soon made il ap-
parent to all that Wichita was at the
crest of the wave. That was time
when Wichita was the Mecca of the
west.
1t has held Its own wonderfully. The
west Is not dead. j revival in the pros
perity In the country at large cannot
take place without the west participate
ing and enjoying that prosperity, even
more Than any other part OF the conn
try, because the west has to be developed
and undeveloped country bounds rapid
ly forward, as it invites capital and in
vestment and youth and vigor.
Wichita today is in reality more than
she has ben before. The territory to
the south of this city is growing rapidly.
The country surrounding us is excel
lent. There is unconquered territory TO
the east of US.
Wichita has the railroads. She has
the necessary vim and vigor in her CIT
liens. Harmonious action on the part
of her men and lasting faith in her
ability to win Will turn the tide our way
and when the coming era of prosperity
sweeps westward you will again find
Wichita, as before, at the crest of the
wave.

only thing left for them to do, is to dis
cover what the kicker had in the toe Of
| his boot.
| Let it be said 10 the credit of the DEM
ocratic papers that they have sneaked
out Of their holes gracefully, if il IS pos
sible to get out of very deep hole with
Delsartean ease. Most of the Democratic
papers say that tie defeat should teach
the Democratic party to keep up Its
organiZal ion and bounce the disturbers.
Other Democratic papers declare that
the party should have stuck closer by
their leader-C.eveland. Still others
claim that there is only one salvation
for the Dem cratic party, and that Is to
select president from the west.
Those apologies and explanations are
all very neat. They may be a little
frayed about the edges but they show
that what bitterness might have come
up at first, has been forced under grace
fully.
What different spectacle the people
have in the Populst papers: These
papers will politely tell the people that
they are fools. They will say that the
American citizen is a simpleton who
doesn't know what Is good for him.
Already in the PopuIist papers the re-
suit of The election is spoken of as
mistake on the part of the fool peo-
ple."
The Populist papers may be able TO
live and call the American public "fool
people" but no Democratic paper or Re-
publican paper would dare call the pub
lie that, even if they believed the public
STOOL people" which no Republican or
Democratic paper does.
The American people admire fighter.
And the best fighters always accept de-
feat gracefully. That is one virtue in
Democrats, ANYWAY,

HALLowELL, April l.-(Special. Dep
uty Sheriff E. w Maddox returned from
Lowell, Mass, Sunday afternoon accom-
panied by A. Tuttle. who about 10 days
ago hire a Maine Central mileage book,
valued at $40 of Henry p. Clearwater of
this city, saying he Was going to Portland
and that he would return the book in two
days.
1t failed to come to hand, however. and
Nr. Clearwater becoming somewhat sus-
picious, commenced inquiries and found
that the man had made some remarks about
lisposing of mileage books after hiring
them, shortly before bis departure.
Mr.. Maddox was notified and after put
ting this and that together was satisfied
that the man was in Lowell, Mass. He
heard from that city Saturday forenoon
and at 6 Z. M. the man was under arrest.
Tuttle declares that he mailed the book,
but without registering it, as was agreed.
He has decided to settle for the full
amount.

FORTY FAMILIES HOMELESS.
Large Tenement Blocks Burned at
Suncook, N. H.--Loss, $4,000.
Heroic Work Of FiFemsn Saved large Amount
Of Properly from Destruction.

SUNcooK, n. H., April 1.-At IL 40 las!
night, fire was discovered in shed adjoin-
ing one of the tenement blocks owned by
the China Manufacturing Co. The fire
spread rapidly and soon three of the larges!
tenement blocks were in flames. The
Pembroke and China fire departments were
quickly on hand and soon had 10 or more
streams of water pouring on the blaze.
The heat from the fire was intense and
only by heroic efforts did the firemen save
the large amount of other property in close
proximity, in which is the lsrge brick mill
of the China Manufacturing Company. AT
the time high wind was blowing in the d.
rection of the mill, and the fire was raging
within 500 feet of the building, it being
saved almost by miracle. Besides the
mill there were several other large tene.
meet blocks within few feet of the fire,
but by deluging them with water. they were
saved. Help was summoned from Con-
cord, but before it could get ready to start,
the local fremen had the FIRE under con-
troll.
The blocks were insured in the Manu-
fscturers' Mutual Insurance Company
Loss is estimated at $2j 900. These blocks
were occupied by 40 families, who lost
nearly everything. So rapidly did the fire
spread, that very little household furniture
could be got out of the burning buildings.
With one exception, none of these families
were insured. their losses being from Sl0,-
900 to $4,000. Nothing but the excellent
fire service saved much greater loss. The
cause of the fire is unknown.

MUST DO iT ALONE.
Uncle Sam Will Probably Have to Do All The
Pasrolling in Behring Sea.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Unless Great
Britain withdraws number of warships
from the China and Australian naval sta
ton it is likely that the United States will
practically patrol Behripg sea aloue. The
remarkable fact is developed from the iu-
formation secured by the naval intelligence
burean of the navy department that there
are at present but six seaworthy British
ships on the Pacific station which embraces
the whole North Pacific ocean including
Hawaii and the Central American coast.
These vessels are the Royal Arthur, the
flagship. protected cruised of 700 tors,
and 1915 knots speed; the Champion, 23S0
tons, l3 knots; Satellite, 1920 tons, 10
knots; Hyacinthe, 1920 tons, l3 knots /;
N,mph, ll40 tons, IA 5 Knots; Pheasant,
755 tons, 13 knots.
All except the flagship are partly pro-
tected cruisers. The Royal Arthur will not
be assigned patrol duty, 80 that they are
but five available ships, the principal one
being little larger than the Montgomery or
Detroit, two others smaller than the York
t )wn and Bennington and one smaller than
the Petrol. The Garnet, recently in the

CUT EXPENSE OR STOP
Is What King Philip Mill oil Fall River is
Driven To.

FALL RIVER, Mass, April lit is not
expected that the King Philip mills will re-
sumo work tomorrow, as notice was given,
Saturday, to a portion of the help that for
an indefinite period their services will not
again be required. The position of the
King Philip Co. is different from any other
Of the 40 corporations here. This position
is the result of a combination of circum-
stances.
But three or four mills in the country are
making as fine grade of products, and it
is one of the few mills in this section whose
goods are made to compete with those of
foreign countries, in the New York market.
The discrimination against fine fabrics in
the Wilson bill caused . continuation of
dull, uncertain market for its products. 1t
went on manufacturing, and storing in its
warehouse, until it is said to now have at
least $50 900 worth on hand. Its manag-
ers began alternately shutting down the
different mills, until its two best mills are
wholly closed for an indefinite period.
Thinking the operatives might consent to
work for smaller wages, until the times
grew better, Agent Chace called a delega-
ton of them and went over the situation,
concluding by saying that he bad conf
dence enough in the future to continue
manufacturing for storage, provided he
could do so at less cost. He understood
that msjority of the operatives consulted
we're willing to work under a reduced scale
for little while, but when they went to the
union for permission to do SO, that body
gave orders for them to stop work rather
than submit to reduction.
That was some weeks ago, and before a
reductions was generally feared in the rest
of the mills. Since then the Spinners' and
Weaver's Unions have been paying ont
large sums in support of the idle members.
Last week Agrnt Chace again renewed the
proposition to reduce wages. Tomorrow
night the spinners' executive committee ex-
poets to act on this proposition. The stop
ping of the re.t Of the mi came as a gem
eral surprise to the help.
