WICHITA, April 1.-The manage
ment of the Rescue Home applied
TO the county commissioners for
an order for a coffin in which to bury the
iliegitima:e child of one of the inmates
of the institution
The board found that the young moth
er was a resident of Butler county who
had sought shelter in the home during
confinement and decided not to furnish
a coffin at the expense of Sedgwick
county.
The Rescue Home is becoming an in
stitution known all over the state and it
harboFs many unfortunate girls from out
side towns. The commissioners, under
these circumstances, believe that this
county should not be called upon to bury
another county's dead. The people at
the home are quite indignant on account
of the commissioners action.

The Bexar county Democracy are
now trying to get Jno. A. OConnor
to run for alderman.
Editors Bushick and johnson
are downhearted over the continu-
GUS defeat Of the Missionaries.
The candidate for off ce would be
in a sorry plight if he received only
the "so-called respectability VOTE"
The colored vote is solid for Buck
Hice, and sewer money cannot buy
an American or German vote in
the Third ward.
Don't be afraid to invest in West
End property. Buck Hice will see
that we get fire protection and
more good, pure water.
Two good Republicans are run
ming in the Third ward ; trot out a
free silver Democrat, and Buck
Hice will beat them both.
Buck Hice does not pose as a
"prohib," but he will see that the
people of the Third ward will get
more water when he is elected al
derman.
"Tug," the.son-in-law of the Gen.
eral, will "blow-in" hard for Fred.
but West End will roll up a big
majority for Buck Hice, and don't
you forget it.
One Of your old-time, rousing
meetings will occur on Paschal
Square Saturday night. This meet
ing will make a sewer booster
tremble in his boots.
Town lots are cheap at West
End now. Vote for Buck Hice,
and, with his aid, we will try and
get that promised boulevard, more
water and fire protection, and the
boom will start again.
