o, Wichita. Magical Mascot mavourneen,
Thou beautiful Princess upon the great
plant
I'm packing my grip and will soon be re-
turning
To traverse the shadowy Ozarks again.
I'll think of thee. Wichita, and tell thy
story
To wondering natives where Sugar creek

Relating conditions that threaten thy
glory
For beauty will ever have envious foes.
I'll think of the cottage. and why I for
The stable. the buggy-shed, hen-house
and all
The cuttle-fish monster that finally took
it
The night-blooming mortgage that grew
on the wall.
I'll think of thee. Wichita, when am PEN
Siye-
When eating persimmons or 'possum pot
Deploring thy battles so fierce and expen-
Siye-
I'll think of the longingly when T am
dry.
I'll think of the efforts of holy "Topeker"
To swamp the taxpayers and worry
their souls,
BY giving the power TO each office-seeker
Whom you have rejected so Oft at the
polls.
I'll think of thy lawyers and smart politi-
clans,
Thy churches and preachers, (whom SAL

The imported spoilers and police commits

O fight on. fair city. against Prohibition
That does not prohibit. but is a preteuse,
A creature and tool OF the vile politician,
A muzzle on morals and sound common

Yes. fight on, fair Princess, defy the ca

THE CITY COUNCIL.
All Houses Must Be Numbered by
May /.

Aspecial session OF the city council was
held last night to consider accommodating
business. One purpose was to devise
a plan for designating the streets, made
necessary by the removal of the guide
posts erected by E. II. Winters under
city ordinance passed two years ago
and lately nullifed by the district
court. The removal of these posts will
also make it necessary to provide other
posts for mail boxes. These were
ordered by the council.
The numbering of houses was also
taken up. There is an old ordinance
compelling this but it has not been
generally observed. Notice was there
fore given that all persons whose houses
are not mum bered on May l, will be
prosecuted under the ordinance. The
report of the city engineer on the re-
Gently constructed cement gutter on
Washington between Center and First
streets, was accepted. The matter of
ordering another sprinkling cart was
suggested but the council decided that
however badly it might be needed it
should be left to the next council to
both order and pay for.

the direct cause of the reduction in the
price of lumber. Without our coming,
there would have been no sharp COM
petition, and probably no such gen
eral movement in building as seems
likely as result of the present low
prices of material"
Mr.. DeMund added that his brother
was at present back at their old home
in Missouri arranging to close out the
large lumber business which they had
formerly conducted there and to bring
his family to Phoenix where they will
make their home permanently.
The explanation of the lumber sit
uation was quite satisfactory to the
curious newspaper man who thought
the whole talk was of sufficient general
interest to appear in type.

carving up the entire bird, legs, wings
and all, distributed the portions to a
party of six! | could have shed tears,
and the climax was reached when,
after enduring disappointed and disap-
proving looks on the part of the guests,
my belle mere remarked: I must say,
Margaret, that l rather prefer our
English duckling to your canvasbaclzs.
l could not tell her that it was the
atrocious cooking and stupid carving
that had destroyed the chief of all
game birds. However, the ducks were
there and they had to be disposed of,
and the next day had the pleasure of
eating a pair of my canvasbacks en-
salmi, while the others were actually
ended up in pie! 1t is needless to re-
late the modification suffered or the
vows l made never again to introduce
American dainties to British palates.''

The Question Az to Whose Carelessnpss
Was Responsible Will Never Be An
swered, AS the Only Men who Knew
Were Kiiied-Heroio Work OF Rescuers
Under Great Difficulties,
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. S.-The
bodies of the three engineers and the
fire boss. who were killed in the explo-
sion in the Dorrance mine last night,
were recovered early this morning.
The corpses were burned almost be.
yond recognition. Fire Boss Davis
roasted and Cahill's body had large
cash on the forehead, evidently from
the force of the explosion. !. Up to 8 a.
M. no more bodies had been found and
it is now believed the list of dead will
be confined to the following:
William Jones, mining engineer,
aged 30 years.
Willims Cahill, mining engineer, 81
years old, single,
Llewellyn Owens. mining engineer,
81 years old. son of Division Superin-
tendent Owens Of West Pittston.
il David j. Davis, fire boss, leaves
widow and two c.-ildren.
Michael Morris, 40 years old, Polan-
der, single.
Robert Miller and Robert Blanchard,
the two members of the engineering
party, brought out OF the mine last
night, are still in precarious condi-
tion at the hospital. The physicians
fear their burns and other injuries will
prove fatal. The other injured men
brought out at the same time, George
Lahy and Joseph Murphy, are on a
fair way to recovery.
Two Htlp0arian yponaau ratortad en-
the superintendent Of the mine this
morning that their husbands, who went
to work in the mines yesterday had
not returned to their homes last night.
1t is possible that both men were
caught in a fall of roof coal near the
scene of the explosion and killed, but
it is believed they escaped.
The question as to which one of the
unfortunate party Of engineersIa
tally set the gas on fire will never be
known, as of the four men who entered
the abandoned workings where the gas
was encountered not one lives to tell
the tale. The general superstition is
that one of the engineers became care
less in the presence of newly-discov-
cred body of gas, and Instead of adopt
ing the precaution of lowering his light
by STOPPING, he walked into the gas in
an erect position, thereby setting it on
fire and causing an awful explosion.
Another theory is that it was the fire
boss himself who caused the accident.
He had charge Of the party and the en-
gineers were subject TO his orders. If
he had discovered a new body of gas it
was his business to give the warming to
the engineers who followed him. The
mine officials are loath to believe,
however, that Davis could have been
taken by surprise. He was very
careful man and would not have led the
engineers into a place which he
thought was unsafe.
The heroic work Of the rescuers is
highly commended on all sides. They
had great difficulties to contend with,
but they exerted every effort to reach
the imprisoned men. The air was
heavy and foul with after damp, and
the rescuers could work only few
minutes at a. time. There were plenty
of willing hands and hearts, however,
and as fast as one shift became ex-
hausted another was ready to take its
place.

RETURN or I'm q ElREMEN.
The Fame, Phmnix, weceacne and wasl
ingtan Welcomed Hnine.

The Fame, Phoenix, Weceacne and WASH
ingtan Welcomed Home.
The local firemen who attended the
celebration in Reading returned home
Saturday evening about 9.15 O'Clock.
The Delaware met the Fame, the " Gum
Coat Hose Go. y met the Phoenix, the
after Night Association" met the
Weccaeoe and a committee from the
Washington met that company Tho
returning fremen and their escorts
made short parade, during which
they were greeted with fireworks and
cheer. The Washington was conducted
to German Hall, the Fame to the Della
ware Truck house and tho Weccacoe
and Phoenix were escorted to their en-
CINE houses, at each of which pleasant
reception was held.
Each company brought home souve-
Mrs of the trip. The Phoenix was pre-
scented with several flags and a hand
some brass eagle, the latter gift from
the Reading Eagle One of the
banners which it brought home con
tains on each side the portrait OF a
member of a Reading company. Host
Krebs of the Franklin House presented
Marshal Patterson with a miniature
truck.
All of the Wilmington fire companies
and bands who went to Reading made
a decidedly favorable impression. Their
marching and music were splendid.
The Fame, which went to Harrisburg
Friday to visit the Good Will Co., re
turned to Reading Saturday and came
home with the other firemen. The
Wilmingtonians were royalty enter
tanned in both cities.
The Fame distinguished itself in
Harrisburg by distinguishing a fire.
While it was at the Good Will house
an alarm was struck and the Whining
tonians were put in charge of the APP
paratus. Assistant Engineer John
Welsh directed the firemen and the
blaze was subdued with little difficulty.
The Wilmingtonians were praised for
their work.
1t is not yet known whether or not
the Phoenix will receive a prize. Many
persons thought it made the best ap-
pearance in the parade and that it ex-
celled in the competitive drill, and
some of the Reading newspapers said
it was up to the top notch and awarded
it 100 per cent, but the parade com
mittee disagreed. This committee
thought the Eagle Fire Co. of Pitts
ton, which was in band uniform, made
the best appearance and drilled the
best but firemen, while they admit
that its appearance and drill were
splendid, contend that its competition
should not be admitted because it was
not in fire uniform. II the committee
decides to bar the Eagle the Phoenix
will probably receive a silver parade
horn and S75, prizes respectively for
the best appearance and best drilling.
The second prize for drilling is $50.
Marshal Patterson and another member
of the Phoenix went to the committee
for the purpose of protesting against
the competition of the Eagle, but they
were not granted a hearing.
A fox which disappeared from the
Delaware truck house recently was
found in Reading by Police Officer
Gum, who brought it back to this city.

JUDGMENT AGAINST THE CITY.
Obtained Because OF the Lack of an
Affidavit of Defence.


An Investigation Ordered--City Solicitor
Hartman says the Mayor and the Prssi-
dent OF Council Are Responsible and the
Case Cannot lie Opened.
AT MONDAYS session of City Coun-
eli a statement of judgment obtained
at the September term OF the superior
court against the Mayor and Council
by Walter III. Hayes was read. The
judgment, which was allowed for the
lack of an affidavit of defence, amounts
to 1923. 43 and besides paying it Coun-
ell ordered to pay interest thereon from
September 30th and costs amounting to
CO. 50. The statement was accompanied
by request that check be drawn to
the order of John Biggs, who is Mr..
Hayes attorney in the matter The
communication was referred to the law
committee ard tie city solicitor.
During tho session of the late General
Assembly Mr.. Hayes, by request Of
some members of the late City Council,
who acted on their own responsibility,
it is asserted, drew several city bills
and after they had been approved by
Council took them to Dover. His bill
for professional services, amounting TO
1923. i3, was presented to both tho late
and the present Council but neither
would pay it. Subsequently, through
his attorney, he entered suit in the
superior court. Mayor Jefferis and
President Of Council Baylis were sum
moned to appear before the court, but
neglected to do SO and, on September
Both. for the lack of an affidavit of de
fence, judgment was entered for the
plaintiff, the amount to be ascertained
by the prothonotary. Last Wednesday
the parliamentary allowed the full
amount, with interest and costs. City
Solicitor Hartman stated on Tuesday
that the case cannot be reopened and
Council will have to draw the check
requested by Mr.. Hayes. He said the
Mayor and the president of Council
received proper service and they are
responsible for the existing state of
affairs. He declared that he had no
knowledge of the case until after judy
,nent was obtained. The proper thing
for the Mayor and president OF Council
to have done, he said, was to have
notified him so that he could have APP
peared in behalf of the city but they
did not do SO. Mayor Jefferis, he ex !
planned, called his attention to another
case against the city but did not men
tion. this case. President of Council
Baylis, he added, met Horace Greeley
Knowles Mr.. Harman's law partner)
on the street one evening and incl
dentally spoke of the case, but neither
Mr.. Knowles nor Mr. Baylis mentioned
the case to him. Mayor Jefferis and
President of Council Baylis are trying
to shirk the responsibility, he remarked
In conclusion, but they are responsible.
Mr.. Knowles, it is alleged, informed
Mr.. Baylis that he need not appear,
that Mr.. Hartman would attend to all
the cases against the city.

GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
'Democrats Garry indianapolis, the Hol
Of Ex-President Harrison, by Lar

Democrats Carry Indianapolis, the Home
Of Ex-President Harrison, by Il Large
Majority.
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. s. The Re
publieans Of Indianapolis suffered the
heaviest defeat in the history of the
city in the municipal election to-day.
Fairly complete returns at 10 o'clock
show that Thomas Taggart tDemocrat)
is elected mayor by about 1000 plu
rality, and the rest OF the Democratic
ticket by about 5000.
Two years ago the Republicans car
ried the city by 3, 100, and last year the
city went Republican by 2,479 on the
State ticket.
The main causes attributed by tho
Republicans are that the present adj
ministration has aroused enmity by its
rigid enforcement of the liquor laws,
assisted by the vigorous Nicholson
temperance law passed at the last
Legislature; dissatisfaction with the
street improvement policy.
Gen. Harrison voted at 10 O'Clock this
morning. Walking from his house to
his precinct polling place he shook
hands with three on four acquaintance
about tho pollingrplace and was in
the booth Just long enough to stamp
a straight ticket
Two weeks ago in an interview he
advised all Republicans to support the
ticket. ~,
