THEY WANT THE REUNION.
Wichita's Old Soldiers VIII Try to so In
Force to Lawrence.

Wichitas Old Soldiers viii Try to go In
Force to Lawrence.
The Wichita soldiers are beginning
! to lay their plans to capture the old SOL
diers reunion in August.
The meeting here three years ago was
very satisfactory and the boys now
think If they make a united effort that
soldiers all over the state will help
them bring the next reunion to Wich-
tia.
The encanpment will be held at Law
renee the 26th Of the present month for
the election Of department commander
and also Sor the selection OF place
for the reunion in August.
The soldiers here will probably organ
ize and send strong delegation to Law
renee to work for the reunion and in
case they fail to get the reunion they
will try for the encampment.
Judge Hatton said yesterday that a
good many old soldiers in Kansas liked
to come to Wichita and h ebelieyes
that with proper eXertion the next re-
union can be brought here.
In regard to the expense OF entertain
ing the reunion Judge Hatton thinks
that there was a good deal of unneces-
sary expense connected with the re-
union three years ago. He thinks that
the arches and other expensive street
decorations the old soldiers do not care
anything about. The boys will be sat
isfied if they have plenty OF good water
and shade on the grounds.
Why are sunbeams like Prices Cream
Baking Powder? Because both are alb
SOlutely pure.

Has Had woDderfui Results.
There is now being exhibited In
Lyons. France, a queer machine that
has been adopted by the government In
the Public Maternity hospital in that
city. It is an apparatus for saving the
life of young babies, and the success il
has attained there recommends II

Over two hundred and hfty thousand
babies, aged less than one year each,

the New York Press
The mortal enemy Of babyhood Is

pal cause Of the loss sustained by tho
thousands Of families IN this country.
The machine is merely large box
made from galvanized zinc and stand

provides for perfect ventilation and alb

angles or interstices inside where poi

even more for very young babies. and

petroleum or electricity.
The babies lie or sit In . cradle, sus-
pended like hammock inside the ma

TODD WAS NOT THERE.
Criminal Case In the District Court Excites
the Colored Foundation.

The case Of Rev. Todd, thee olored
| minister who is charged with assault
| ing Julia Coffey, a 17-year-old girl. also
| coiored, occupied Judge Reeds court
yesterday.
The colored people are a good deal
excited over this case and large num-
berS of them attended the trial There
seems to be two factions, one certain
that Todd is guilty and the other is just
as certain that it is a case of attempted
blackmail
Mr.. Bailey and Judge Sankey are de-
Tending Todd and strong fight they
| made for their client. County Attor-
ney John Davis swung the doors of the
| penitentiary wide open to admit Todd
when he proved by Julia that the as
sault was committed in the home Of
her parents on Labor day about 10
| o'clock in the forenoon. and Julia s
mother brought out the old family bible
| and showed the record of Julia's birth
! recorded seventeen years ago.
And then County Attorney Davis
looked as though he thought some game
was being played on him when the de-
Tense showed by the bible itself that 1t
was not in existence for good many
years after Julia was said to have been
born and the ink showed recent date.
And then when Rev. Hill, who is an
exorter In the colored church, went on
the stand and Swore that Brother
Todd was at his place a mile from
Julia's home from early in the morning
Labor day until in the afternoon, John
got hot. He got red hot.
Some of Rev. Hills neighbors con-
firmed his story. They had seen Todd
at Hills place helping him to build
corn crib. One of the attorneys re-
marked that these colored people who
are frequently brought into court are
honest but they look at subjects and
facts from directly opposite stand
points. This, he said, makes a great
deal of contradicting testimony which
was liable to rattle the average jury.
The Todd case went to the jury at a
late hour last night and sealed ver-
dictwill likely be returned before morn

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
VIOLIN MADE IN 1876.

The appearance of Mr.. Edouard Rem
enyi in concert this evening at he Au-
ditorium will be the greatest musical
event of the season Mr.. Remenyi is
the greatest living violin virtuoso. and
the claim is readily conceded, as It
would be hyperciticism to compare
him with any violinist who has visited
this country, SO thoroughly unique and
typical is his playing.
Remenyi has long been a favorite
among lovers of the violin and with each
recurring visit his audiences gave evil
dence of increased admiration for his
phenomenal mastery OF the instrument
that wears the crown. In the number
of odd and pleasing surprises his tech
niuue is almost startling, while the
srnoothness and purity of his tones are
like fairy voices, which transport the
listener to realms Of sweetest harmony.
You seem to hear the soft and tender
lullabies of eternal peace and the dy-
ing cadences of the liquid strains are
like the memory of pleasant dream.
OF the celebrated violins in the world.
Edouard Remenyi probably has the
largest collection, some sixty in all.
His favorite, and the one he will use in
the concert in this city, is called the
Titan a Stardivarius. made in lI26,
and is without blemish. Dir. Remen-
vi consumes more time every day in
making the toilet of his favorite in
stument than the ordinary society lady
would in preparing for grand party.
Secure your seats at Masbacher's dur
ing the day for the Remenyi concert at
the auditorium this evening.
Why is Prices Baking Powder the
most economical? Becase it's absolute
pure.

brought by the Springfield Fire insur-
ance company to recover damages from

Of Mulvane was DESTROYED by fire and
it so happened that the Springfield com

now the insurance company comes for
ward and sues the railway company
for damages claiming that the fire was
caused by sparks from a Santa Fe
engine. Much interest is manifested by
the people of Wellington in the matter
and ii is considered a test case which.
if won by the plaintiff. will cause other
insurance companies to also sue TO re-
