Something About the Origin and Histor
of an Artistic Organization.

The Ceramic exhibit. which continues

O'Clock at the academy. is the second
annual exhibit of the Wichita Ceramic

these rooms and organized this club.
electing a president. director and other
necessary members. No teacher was
employed by the club; because no teach
er was needed. Each member was. and
is now, an independent worker. many
having painted china for years. taking
lessons from the finest teachers in the
country.
Mrs. E. f. Bell. the president OF the
club, was for seven years art teacher
at Hamilton college. Lexington. KY
Miss Emily Jeckyll has been a pupil Of
Willie X. Smith of New York, another
leading member studying under Lyc-
hon, another under Bischoff. another
under Mrs. Mclaughlin OF Cincinnati
These ladies needed. not teaching I'M
less it may be possible at some time to
bring n special teacher from Chicago
or New York: but mutual assistance
and the emulation which is exciting
their ambition, prevents a certain fall
ing away and neglect to work that is
apt to come from working alone. So il
happened that they formed this or
ganfzation, each member pledging her
eelf TO help the others, by her failure as
well as by her success; for Ceramic art
is peculiar in this respect One learns
as much, perhaps more. from a failure
than one does from a perfect piece
which passes successfully through the
kiln.
II is a club of which any city might
well feel proud: and 10 proposes to give
not only its second annual exhibit, but
its third, fourth, fifth and so on ad In

ARMY CAPTURES IT
SALVATION ARMY IN POSSESSION
OF THE II. E. CHURCH.
They Line Up in Front of the Big Organ
sas City Onicers Present--There was the
Sound of the Violin, COrnet and Tam
bourine--The Plutocrats Were No,
Thereto Was . Good Meeting but Not
Financial Observation-Disclosures for
the New Tent Less Than Five Dollars.


The Salvation Army people were in
possession of the First Methodist
church last night.
The boys with their seamless red
coats and the girls with theis sail scut-
tie bonnets were massed in front of the
big pipe organ like soldiers on a hill
side.
The big organ was locked and two
violins, two comets and a tombourine
furnished the instrumental part of the
music, while the vocal part was of the
usual spirit that characteriZes all Sal
walton Army meetings.
The house was fairly well filed, but
q large part of the congregation SEEM
ed to be the same persons who attend
the meetings on the street, or at the
Salvation Army headquarters.
Captain and Mrs. Gearhart have
been trying TO raise money to buy a
new tent for the army headquarters
during the summer, and when Don s.
Colt offered them the First NJ. E.
church for this meeting the army peo-
pie thought the members of other
churches would attend and they secur-
ed a wagon yesterday and the army
band advertised the meeting by driving
over the city
The class OF people they expected did
not come in large numbers, and the
contributions toward erecting the new
tent amounted TO ! cent less than S.
That however. did not discourage these
faithful workers, and they thanked
the audience and sang their songs of
praise with just as much fervency as
If the has received $1,000.
Captain julie of Kansas City and
several HeutenantS were present and
helped TO make the meeting interest
ing. The experience meeting was the
best of the service. as Salvation Army
people excel all others when il comes
to telling their experience and what
God has done for them. They do not
have TO be yanked up with a derrick
but come forward with the alacrity of
people who have taken the contract
to convert the world.
Some of the members OF other
churches present took in this part of
the service and gave their testimony.
1t is doubtful if any of them ever in
any other church meeting by their tes-
ELECTED such a vigorous amen,
and God bless you,
There will be no relaxation OF the eff
fort to secure the new tent, and until
il is raised meetings will be held on
the streets. The army may be short
Of cash, but they always have plenty
of the faith that removes mountains,
and one of the officers predicted last
night that in ten years the Salvation
Army would be the largest church in
America, and would be stormng the

village in the land.

The cannos Of Battery A were spiked
yesterday morning and Wichita is left
prey TO any enemy that might sail
up the sandy bed of the Big Arkansas
and open fire on her.
In the wee sn1a hours of the morning
some chap that understood spikins can
mons took a rattail file and a hammer
and while the policeman was on the
other end of the beat he put the end of
the file into the touch hoieo of the gun, hit
it clip with the hammer and broke the
file off. He hit it another clip and the
gun was silenced forever. He then
went to the next cannon and did the
very same thing.
The guns were in the Salvation army
lot on North Main street and being I'M
guarded it was an easy matter to Grip
pie them.
No effort has been made to apprehend
the gentleman who was so handy with
his ratta1l file and hammer and never
will perhaps as the chap is halfway
considered a public benefactor The
guns in question have done more dam
age in peace than in war and it is said
that one of them has actually killed six
men and butchered five during its fifty
years of service, all of whom were on
the side that the gun was on. The
first gun spiked from all appearances
was the one that blew off the arm OF
Private Fennell at the cemetery on
Decoration day and chopped off the
thumb of Private Walker.
Yesterday morning the artilerymen
held an inquest over the two cannons.
They applied a looking glass to its
mouth like dentists do when they in

HE WAS CAPITALIST.
Police Ascertain That John JOhnsOn was
Not Robbed as He RepoI ted.

There was a good deal of sympathy
squandered on John Johnson of Spring
field. Mo, last Wednesday night when
he was brought in the city ambulance
from beyond the bridge that spans the
Little river on West Central avenue.
The police gathered him up tenderly
when he said he had been held up and
robbed, and that one of the bold, dar-
ing robbers had thrust his knee in the
small of his back and bent him back
ward and broken his spine.
When johnson was brought up Cen
trail avenue, gently resting on a mat
tress swung from four large springs
and with a blanket spread carefully
over him and his feet protruding from
was passed up the street that the man
had been murdered beyond the bridge.
The good mothers ran out IL the
street or sent out their children to as
certain if the poor man was dead. IT
was considered an everlasting shame
that a man should come from Spring
field, Mo, to be murdered within the
city limits of Wichita.
John Johnson was tenderly deposit
ed in the city hospital last Wednesday
night. and while DR.. Hoffman took his
temperature and timed his pulse and
made up his mind that John Johnson
had probably lied iabout laying all
alone in the woods for two nights and
one day Harry Sutton and Bedford
Wood were laying their plans to cap
ture the bold, bad robbers.
Harry Sutton wanted to save John
son before he went out TO hunt the
thieves, and he asked il he did not
want samethinS TO eat, and he said,
"no'
How is it that you lay out there
forty-eigth hours and are not hungry"
a Slyn1 tho 6nrnRftvn
Il traded my jack knife for some
thing 10 eat"
How could you be there all alone for
two nights and a day and then trade
your jack knife for food?'
That last question was poser and
Johnson pinned away and became
speeches.. Then Harry Sutton and
Bedford Wood started out to find out
something more about Johnson.
Some time was required 10 find
trail, but the detectives found il. They
soon thereafter found out that Johnson
come in from El Dorado last Saturday
In company with two other men.
Johnson stopped at the restaurant in
the Richey house and paid for his sup
per and bed. after which he had about
a dollar and half left. which he pro-
ceeded 20 invest in alcohol. and in
remarkably short time thereafter he
began TO assume a majestic air and re-
ported himself a capitalist.
Monday came and Johnson was get
ting richer all the time. He told the
proprietor OF the restaurant that he
had some valuable baggage over at the
Santa Fe depot. and a large amount OF
money in the Fourth National bank
He opened negotiations 20 buy thu res
taurant and that opened the eyes OF
the restaurant man. and he thought
perhaps his guest was real capitalist.
The restaurant man wen; over TO the
Santa Fe depot and inquired about
Johnson's baggage. but the boys said
Il was not there and he found one of

ED FLYNN Is VICIOUS.
He Tried to Crash the Jail Keys and was
Promptly Knocked Down.

Yesterday Jailor Charlie Horner OF
the county Jail was compelled to slap
Prisoner Ed Flynn with the back of
his hand and knock him down. Through
the good nature of Charlie Horner
Flynn was allowed the freedom of the
corridor for exercise and the first thing
he did was TO abuse it. Mr. Horner had
the keys Of the jail in his hands when
Flynn slyly approached him and vic
iously grasped the keys, evidently with
the intention Of precipitat ting Jail de-
livery. Mr.. Eorner quickly took in the
situation and with a powerful blow Of
his open hand Knocked Flynn down and
with assistance threw him in the ro-
tafy. He was about TO put him in the
dark cell on bread and water, but his
better nature got the best of him.
Flynn is one of the most vicious prison.

Yesterday Joe McMahan, manager of

damages amounting to 1880. Mr.. Nc
Mahan alleges that his circus was

bad condition Of the track and that his
