HE GOT ALL WRONG.
Young German. by Mistake. Takes Case
of Beer to Minister.

Mine sakes. dem peples run me de
yard out and ! lose the pill" said a
young German driver OF a beer wagon
when ne returned to his place OF bust
ness yesterday.
There were tears in his eyes and he
said he was afraid he would loose his
place.
The young man had gone TO deliver a
case of beer to a good citizen and had
gone TO a number as directed but was
in the wrong alley.
The poor man told in broken English
as best he could how a woman with
a chair had fired him from the back
yard.
In his hasty exit he had dropped the
bill and he was more heart broken
than if he had wrecked bank or scut
tied ship.
Where did you go anyhow" asked
the proprietor. II he was not mistaken
in the number the directory revealed
the fact that he had delivered the beer
10 the residence Of Rev. Don :. Colt.
\ full investigate showed that the
young German had lost his route and Il
man in the alley with evil intent had
directed him 10 a place wher he knew
they did not take beer.
The proprietor was more crievei be
cause the young man had lost the bill
than anything else. The case of beer
was put in a cool place and last even
ing the man who had ordered il asked
over the telephone why his beer had
not been delivered

Nineteen Little Boys Loaded into polio
Van and Put into the City Prison.


Hypocritical prudery and sickly az
fectation. coupled with the spirit of
''vox popuh imperium in impero''
seems running mad in this community.
Nineteen little boys, most of them mere
babes, many of them ranging from nine
ten, eleven and twelve years of age.
were arrested yesterday afternoon and
thrown into jail. They were hauled
down through the public streets in an
open police wagon and turned IN be-
hind the bars They had been arrested
on the complaint of some finlkin fool
whose name was not given. for going
in swimming, in the Little river north
OF Thirteenth street bridge. for going
in bathing. Everyone had a trunk or
breech-clout on. The thermometer
stood at 96 degrees in the shade and
somebody's modesty was shocked at
the sight OF these innocent little boys
in their nudeness. The gross nastiness
OF the man or woman who could be thus
shocked is beyond any power Of por-
trayaL But it's the law. The place is
secluded one. There are high banks
and dense foliage on every side at that
bridge. The finical individuals shock
ed must have used opera glasses of ex-
ira power 20 have seen anything.
But what about those boys and the
mothers OF those boys? What of the
irreparable injury done those innocent
children who have been arrested for
violation OF law. and who have thus
been unused to the sight OF jail walls?
who is TO answer for that scar upon
their characters. that impression which
may last life time. and which may
even give bent 10 a nfe's course. They
were needleSsly, ineXcusably. outrage
ouSly subjected TO an experience which
in striking at their self-respect humili-
ated, while IL shamed. hardened The
fact that they were all afterwards dis
charged without being brought TO trial
does not mitigate the wrong. The fact
that they were one block beyond the
jurisdiction OF the police. and that the
law" fell down, does not efface the in
jury done those innocent boys who with
flushing faces came to beg US 10 keep
their names out of the public prints.

Hints to Bicycle Riders.

II man asks you for the loan OF
your wheel let him have ii, as this is
the simplest way to get rid OF him
and your wheel.
Don't comply with tina request OF
your wife to take the top bar out of
the frame so that she can ride your
wheel The machine isn't built that
way.
Don't think that everybody is look
ing at you when speeding" for there
are others.
Don't spend time in an argument
with the motorman for the right Of
way. 1t is exceeding bad form and
will only result in a victory for the
trolley.
After knocking a man OF hi. legs
don't come back and apologize. You
will find him very unreasonable, and,
perhaps, Impairment Some men, after
they have been rolled over the street
by bicycle act harshly and are some
times very violent and perverse- Avoid
them as you would a pestilence.-

You are familiar with the seedless

This morning the Big Arkansas river
will be booming. The food will be
here sure before 6 O'Clock and perhaps
earlier.
AT 3 o'clock yesterday il rushed down
on Hutchinson and went over the
banks.
Last night telephone message from
Hutchinson to railroad headquarters
said that ii was way out OF the banks
and up as far as B street. 1t is big

Riverside Salt plant was compelled to
get out all its men 10 throw up en-

Gardeners and farmers werealSo COM

then a great deal of property was dam

midnight and was ruNling down to-
wards Wichita al about SIGHT miles per
hour. At that rate it Will be here about
o'clock and maybe earlier.
The city authorities were little ner-
vous about their bridges and while all
precautions possible were taken not
much could be done. The bridges are
all right if the food does not bring
down any heavy logs. or course If
one of the upper bridges happened to
go down the loss would be great.
In the south part Of town along the
river bank the people are considerably
worked up and not a few of them re-
manned up all night watching the COM

This is not the only food that is COM
