St Johns church, corner OF Topeka
avenue and Third street.
1t is to be quite an event and no
doubt will be attended by large num-
Der of fashionable people. including
not only patrons of that faith but of ey-
cry faith.
This will be the first visit of Bishop
MiLspaugh to Wichita and it is hoped
that it will be a pleasant one. He is
a magnificent gentleman and one whom
il is a genuine pleasure TO meet as
every person who attends the reception
tonight will attest.
The mission of Bishop Millspaugh 10
Wichita is for the purpose of admins
tering the sacrament of confirma ton.
The class of candidates will be the
largest ever held in the city and will
include large number of well known
people.
The confirmation service is one of
the most beautiful and impressive SER
vices in the church and was practiced
by the apostles themselves as is abso-
lutely proven by the practice of it in
Acts Sth chapter, Acts 18th chapter,
and Hebrews 9Th chapter, verse 2,
where instances of confirma ton are
given. 1t has been a rite in the church
OF Christ all through the ages. Those
who are to be confirmed have been re-
quested TO try and get seats in the
front part of the church.
In honor of the event st. Johns
church VIII be elaborately ornamented
with palms and flowers and fine mu-
slcal program viii be rendered by the
full vested choir with several addi-
MonS for this special occasion.

BILL HUFF IN JAIL.
An Economical Colored Man Gets Behind

Wichita has a kind of John Waller
case on its hands and there was great
activity in the war department in the
city building last night, on account of
ii.
Bill Huff is co1ored man that lives
in Wichita. He makes his headquar-
ters around SchnitZler's place and was
a staunch supporter of Rufe Cone, ,Elec-
ton being over now Rufe has conclud-
ed to take that vacation and with
Henry Schnitzler and others he is going
down into the Indian country on hun
ting expedition. They hired Bill Huff
to cook for them giving him so much
per day and his railroad expenses. The
fare to Ell Reno is about SO and Bill
agreed with the gentlemen mentioned
to take the SO, put it in his pocket and
steal the ride TO FL Reno from the
railway company.
Yesterday morning he started out
and telephoned back from Caldwell
that he was all right. Last night he
sent a message from Ell Reno that he
had been arrested for stealing a ride
and was being held as suspicious
character. His friends here went to
the mayor to demand his release from
the authorities of Ell Reno and the
mayor turned them over TO his Secre-
tary of state City Clerk Smith. Mr..
Smith having no diplomatic represent
ative at Ell Reno turned Huff's indig-
nant friends over to the war depart
ment. Chief Burrows turned them over
to assistant Chief Sutton who, finally,
heard their story and directed a polite
note to the marshal of Ell Reno as a.
preparatory measure to Issuing an ul-

says the Kansas City Star. He was ar
rested last night al his home by In
spector Murphy and Detective Baldwin.
Joseph Shober, a candy maker from
Wichita, Kan, and his brother Charles
Shober, cook at the Coates house, for
whom the police have been searching,
were found under a bed in the doctors
house. Last Saturday night Miss Flor
ence Smith, IL years old, of Wichita,
was spirited away from home, the po-
lice say, by Joseph Shober, and brought
to Kansas City Sunday morning. From
q boarding house on East Fourteenth
street. where she was first taken, she
was removed to 621 Grand avenue. and
DR.. Dennis was called in. Through the
assistance of Inspector Murphy the
mother of the young wman found her at
the rooming house on Grand avenue.
She was very i'll but is expected TO re-
cover.
DR. Dennis says that he did not per-
form an operation on Miss Smith. He
says that she had had medical atten-
ton before he was called. Joseph
Shober is charged with being response
bic for Miss Smiths downfall.
Florence Smith grew up from child
hood in this city and her downfall is
very much regretted on account of her
mother who is the very estimable little
English woman who used to be clerk in
the Handy Kitchen for several years.
Mrs Smith raised her children with
great care and she deserved better re-
suits. Shober, the man in the case,
was candy maker ON Fourth avenue
and he is said TO be a very common
piece of humanity. so much so that the
whole affair puzzles all who know him
and Florence Smith. Mrs Smith is
now in Kansas City trying to get her
girl out OF her trouble the best way
possible and if Shober does not make
Florence his wife there will be trouble.

OFFICIAL COUNT TO-DAY.
Nothing Definite will be Known Until
Then.

Today the official vote will be canvass
ed by the board of county commission
ers and until that is done it will be i'm
possible to tell who are elected with the
exception of Dale and Gordon. From
all appearances Dale, Gordon. Gone,
Denny, Lloyd and Stanley are elected.
Brown and Rose are also apparently
elected. Mr.. Bush and Mr.. Carnahan
will probably contest, or at least chal-
lenge the returns ON the grounds that
some votes were thrown out in various
precincts on account of irregularity that
they claim are not errors that the court
would hold to be entirely illegal. Con-
tests hardly ever amount to anything
where there is no fraud. Usually there
are as many mistakes on one side as an
other. 1t is useless to give any figures
from the county yet as none have ar
rived in systematic form.
