WORDS FOR wICHITA's WOMEN.
They are Appealed to and Invited to Come
Together Tonight.

They are Appealed to and Invited to Come
Together Tonight.
We believe it to be true that the wo-
men of Wichita entertain greater
pride in, and have more love for Wich-
ita, than the men. This fact is so
marked that we have often wondered
at the enthusiasm of women for the city
and for all it boasts. We have some
times thought it might be because the
towns distinctive character is pretty
homes. Then again, that it was
because of its many shady avenues and
beautiful drives. But whether of these
or because of its society and sunshine.
its churches, schools and woman's or
CARNATIONS or what not, or these taken
altogether, certain 1t is that it is al
ways the mother, the wife, the daugh-
ter who is the last to consent to leave
Wichita for a home anywhere else,
whether the stress of the father, hus-
band, son or brother, and it is the wo-
men, who, forced by circumstances to
leave. forever regret the fact and long
to get back.
Not only are the women of Wichita
more enthusiastic in all that promises
feiicitation and in all that involves
warm admiration, than the men but

Walter ". Scott at the Lawrence ave

The tragedy of last Sunday caused
much excitement and the friends of the
dead couple very naturally concluded
that hundreds OF people would attend
the funeral through mere curiosity to
see the body OF the man who had shot
his wife and then himself, and also
that Of the murdered woman.
They were not mistaken IN their cal
culations and the streets for blocks
around were crowded with vehicles and
the church was too small 10 accommo-
date the throng
The parents OF Mr.. and Mrs Scott
had determined that the remains OF
their unfortunate children should not
be exposed to the gaze OF the curiosity
seekers and the collins were not epen-
ed either at the church or at the grave
This OF course was a great diSap-
polntment TO many of the people who
attended the funeral, but they got some
thing in return that will be rendered
by some Of them for long time to
come. They heard the funeral sermon

Ting and that if some of them We're al
lowed to look into those two collins
they might behold the awful result of
their work. 1t was these miserable
tattlers who had gone TO these two
families with their stories that had
worked young Scott up to the frenzy
which caused this awful tragedy.
The sermon or lecture seemed TO have
taken effect and there was a sen sation-
