A Bachelors Lament.

There i one class of individuals whom
| despise utterly and irretrievably. For
thirty years | have been making up
my mind to say why hate my cham
bermaid, and the following are some of
my reasons:
She sends my fresh pajamas to the
laundry and leaves my clean linen on
a chair for a week, where the dust set
ties on it,
She hangs my dress coat by the mid
die of its back on sharp hook, and
folds my trousers just outside the new
crease the tailor has just put in.
She takes all my matches for the
other bOarder's rooms.
She jams my trunk up against the
wall, no matter how often pull it out
so that the lid will stay open she yanks
it up TO the wall again.
She carefully cherfshes for me all
the old patent medicine circulars and
old duns, which have grown bald
trying to get rid of, and lights the fire
with my important business letters.
She throws away the only extra col
lar button | have, and religiously pre-
serves the broken lead cap TO a rusty
trousers button.
She hides my tobacco. Every day
she finds a new place to conceal it.
She places my shoes a. far under the
bed as size can. She does this to make
me grovel on the floor and swear.
She places the pillows at the opposite
end Of the bed from the gas light. If
she cannot get the light in an incOn-
venient position she moves the bed.
If the thermometer is thirty degrees
below she selects that day to polish the
CRATE and air the bedding. When the
weather is mild as may, she has coy
hard coal fire roaring in the fire place
when / get home.
She uses my bay rum and, | suspect,
my tooth brush she borrows my note
psper and takes my novels before |
have finished reading them.
She puts the open part Of the blank
ets at the foot Of the bed, and have 10
sleep on the cold sheets; she accepts all
my spare change, and great deal /
can't spare, and she makes my fair
young life burden to ME too great TO
be borne. That is why speak.

beginning of the general exercise, in
which all the Sunday school classes

came, she sent ripple over the audi

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.
incidental Remarks Heard Among We
known PeOple

Jim Burnes-Anheuser does more ad-
vertising than Val Blatz. Anheuser's
firm has to support about forty families
of relatives while Blatz's support only
three brothers. Forty years ago Val
BlatZ started in business with $500 and
an old kettle; today he is worth $40, 600
l wish / was as rich as he is, I'd never
work another day.
George Enthusiastically ought to
write book "A Day in the Postoffice."
Some queer things happen. We see
more human nature through a post
Office window in a day than you would
on the streets in a whole year. When
/ leave the poStoffice l Will write
novel that will beat Trilby all to pieces.
James McDCnald-I was out in the
country Sunday with my family and
think Sedgwick county "a this season of
the year is the finest spot on earth. 1t
is a perfect picture. The landscape
from the top of college Hill is the finest
/ have ever seen with the city in the
plain at the foot OF the hill, the court
house, city building and the Garfield
university looming up in the distance
drawn against a golden sunset which
was the prettietS sight the eye could
behold.

days from now the corn will be made

David Smyth Tells what lie Saw on a Re-
cent Trip to Some states East.

Mr.. Smyth Of the law firm of Srnyth
& Douglass has returned from a bust
ness trip through southern Missouri
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio and he gives
his experience otained on the trip and
compares those states with Kansas
He says in southern Illinois and cen
trail Indiana that the oats is headed
out not longer than his hand and corn
was not knee high when he was there
Farmers are discouraged on ac-
count Of the crop outlook and that
some of them are talking OF leaving
Ohio and coming west. He thinks il
Kansas raises a good corn crop this
year there VIII be plenty IF land buy
ers from the east next fall AID winter
10 buy Kansas land.
The farmers. ne says. are in debt
and many farmers whom he knew sew
eral years ego in prosperous circum-
stances have since lost their all and
farms. There IS apparent prosperity in
the manufacturing towns but the farm
ers as a rule are hard up.
Mr.. Smyth SAYS that he saw a man
on the cars with several children who
told him that his brother had been
farming in northern Indiana and had
starved out and was driving his stock
back TO Virginia and that ne was TAX
ing his brothers children through on
the train This man told Mr.. Smyth
that hay was selling n northern In
diana for So a ton and he saw * sell
for thai price in Indiana polls and the
pasture fields are as brown there now
as they are here in October. He de-
clsres that Kansas looks 50 per cen,
better than any OF those states.

PULLING ON THE WIRES.
What Ambitions Pops and Democrats are
Doing for Themselves.

The anti-Cone PopulistS are working
UP a boom for Will Ayres for sheriff.
This complexities matters as it is pretty
we'll understood that Dale will not ac-
cept the nomination for judge except
in the event that Cone is the nominee
for sheriff.
Sam Amidon does not think he will
be in the convention. He thinks this
with sly wink, for the other fellows
say they will set down on him at the
primaries.
by the fusion Democrats at the office
of Haymaker q Holmes for the pur-
pose of planning to carry the ward pri-
maries in the interest of fusion.
Many of the younger Democrats OF
the city are in open rebellion. They
s2y that fusion has killed their party
and that from present appearances
the party Will be buried beyond hope
OF resurrection this fall They want TO
have a. party they can call their own
one that is not owned ~ Jesse Hay
maker, George Rogers and that young
man Whiteside
It is now definitely settled that l. p.
Campbell cannot have a place on the
fusion ticket.
The postoffice people do not seem TO
be in the councils of the Democratic
party this fall. Jesse Haymaker, it is
said, does not invite any representa-
tive of the federal building to his ready
made caucuses.

BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETS.
Dr. Richardson Comp,imented and other
business Transacted.

The school board held its regular
meeting last night. The board, con-
sidering that Dr. Richardson would
soon terminate his connection with the
city schools unanimously adopted the
following resolution:
closes his school work with US. as su-
perintendent OF our city schools, and
Whereas. Our schools throughout
the city has greatly prospered under
his wise and prudent direction, and
Whereas. He has won in the highest
degree the good will and esteem Oh
teachers and pupils; therefore
Resolved, That We. the board or
education OF the city of Wichita, here
by express in this manner our high es-
TEEN for him as a gentleman, scholar
and Christian worker.
The report of the enumerator showed
that the school population of Wichita
is 1863 1t was considered that there
being no school houses 10 build this
wear and that on that account less
money would be handled and that the
present bond of the Sedgwick county
bank was unnecessarily large 10 cover
the amount of deposits by the school
board 1t was therefore ordered thai
the bond Of the bank be reduced from
$50 900 10 $50, coo.
The names Of Florence Eibarger and
Dora Martin were ordered placed on

lowing was passed - govern the

sued one years course in the normal

HOLD AN ADJOURNED SESSION.
City Council Meet and Legislate in the In
terest of Economy.

The city council convened last night
in adjourned session. Mayor Cox in
the chair. and all the councilmen pres
ent
There was quite an interesting dis
cussion precipitated by DIR. Minick
calling UP a former report OF the FIRE
marshal and moving its acceptance.
The report had lain on the table for
some time but IL was finally ascertain
ed that the report recommended the
closing of the house on the West Side
and the one a Thirteenth street.
The councimen from the Fifth ward
entered protest against the closing
of the hose house on the West Side and
Councilman McClain wanted the ques-
ton divided. but Mayor Cox said the
motion was 10 accept the report of the
fire marshal and that question could
not be divided. The members OF the
council tried TO have some fun at the
expense of McLain about the division
of the question but the council from the
West Side rallied his forces and came
I'D with an amendment TO accept so
much of the fire chiefs report as re-
ferred TO the closing OF the hose house
on Thirteenth street. This would
leave the hose house on the West Side
statu quo and forced the separation
OF the question as Mr.. McLain desired
but the amendment was lost by a vote
of > for and 10 against. The original
motion was then carried by vote OF
9 10 3.
1t was brought out during the dis
cussion that the closing of these two
hose houses during the summer months
would result in a saving 10 the city or
$780, Councilmen Shultz, however,
doubted these figures as he said there
were only two men and two horses
