GETS DRUNK on WATER
Strange Case OF Mr. Stewart, a Man Who
Shears sheep.

s s. Stewart. one of the most remark
able men in this coaotry. was in town
again last night.
The initials IS. s" in Mr.. Stewards
mama has been given the public meaning
OF sheep shearing on account OF his oc-
cUnation-
Every spring Mr.. Stewart goes down
TO Mexico 10 shear sheep and returns
abort July 1 with big roll Of money
n his possession.
Last year Mr.. Stewart was arrested
for being drunk and the officers search
ed him but could not find a. penny in
his possession Next morning the judge
fined him and right there before the
court and policemen he ran his hand
into 3 shirt pocket, pulled out al5out
$500 and paid his fine He put the
balance Of the money hack into his
pocket aud told the policemen II they
could find the pocket he would give
them ali Of the money. Two police
men searched every inch - his clothing
but could not find II. Right before
their eyes ne ran his hand into the
same invisible shirt pocket and gain
pulled out the money. All the polio
men say rs the greatest pocket they ev-
er saw o. rather didn't ever see
Ever since that incident the police
have been mystifieyi over Mr.. Stewart
Another peculiar thing about Mr..
Stewart is this: He never goes into
saloon and is never found with liquor
about him In his biggest DRINKS the
Officers have been unable 70 detect the
smell OF liquor about him. Two off,
GERS followed him Hast night 10 ascertain
where he got mis- liquor and its kind

and character The officers were Dad
Stewart the coIored policeman and
Officer Mercer. Mr.. s S Stewart was
nervous and they knew he was about
to go on drunk. He walked up Main
street 10 second as sober as judge and
went west on Second street TO Charlie
Viney's paint shop. AT that point
there Is a good pump and Mr.. Stewart
put his mouth under it. For nearly
five minutes he worked the handle
until at last he fell down by the pump
The officers went to his rescue and
found him with terrible jag on. He
was as drunk as a lord and yet there
was not a sign OF liquor about him or
the least smell OF it. He was taken TO
the city jail and examined. He was
still terrible drunk and talked income
rently. The police were simply puz-
lied Later in the night il was found

he must, OF course, drink it TO excess
An average drink Of water will have no
effect on him but il he drinks about
gallon and a half at a time. which he
frequently does. it goes TO his head and
makes him reel. He told the officers
last night that he was feeling like going
On high lonesome and that IS what
took him to Charley VIney's pump. The

story and Stewart admits its accuracy.

water affects him His sprees cost
him nothing except his fines and they
are not many as he does not get full

try there is no law against being drunk

any Pheasant results from the water.

DAY BOYS GO AT NIGHT
When Their Case Was Called Yesterday 1t
Was Found They Had skipped

The Day brothers failed TO put in an
appearance at their trial yesterday be-
fore Justice Jones and il was found
that they had jumped their bond. On
Monday they went 10 the county at
tOrney and offered 10 plead guilty if he
would try and induce the court not to
give them a Jail sentence, only a fine.
This he would not do, so they went 10
Judge Jones with the same proposition,
but he would make them no promises.
The charge against them in this case
was receiving the tobacco stolen from
Mrs. Emn1onS store, but there were
several Others 10 be brought. They had
maintained d regular fence and IL IS
somewhat Of a mystery how they es-
capped as long as they did. They kept a
most disreputable resort and it was 10
their place that a young girl was taken
last winter and outraged. A boy now

they have gone down IN thei own peck
cts and footed the bill. but a sad
change has come and the men OF Wich-
tia who once headed every list find
themselves willing bot unable SCu
when this proposition was made the
Commercial club gave S. 6o0 outright
and also gave the ground for The ele-
vator. and not a member OF the club
expected TO reap any direct benefit
from the building OF the elevator. They
had no grain to sell but they realized
what helped the farmers would also
help them They realized that the
farmers OF Sedgwick county had a big
crop of last years grain on hand and
when added 10 the present crop that
anything that would guarantee an adj
vance OF from TO cents per bushel
would make the farmers OF the county
prosperous and they gave their sub
scriptioa outright.
Not so with the farmers They are
not asked to dorate a single cent Al
they are asked 10 do is 10 take 80 much
stock and receive IN return a due bin
from the company to take up every
csna Of the amount in storage and their
stock is made transferable
Let me put This proposition in an
other form which you viii understand
and that is exactly the proposition thar
is made by the Commercial club 70 the
farmers with reference TO The elevator.
Suppose you go 70 the street car CON-
pany and buy one dollars worth OF
tickets. You do not donate the street
car company a dollar but the tickets
you get are good for twenty-five rides
on the cars and II you do not wish 70
-
son you desire or you can sell hem and
the street car company redeems every
one of them and the same thing is done
by the elevator company. II a man
su5scribes 800 he only guarantees sie0
IN business 10 the company and ne can
sell or give has privilege to any OF mis-
neEghbors.
Does IL not look strange that a
county containing as many wealthy
farmers as Sedgwick and Sumner and
adjoining counties would stand long
upon a PROPOSE ton when the entire trans
action is qua ranteed by every business
man in the city, thoroughly exemanied
in every particular by the Commercial
club, sanctioned by every attorney and
which TO gain means so much and ID
lose such an offer IL means a loss 20
every man who raises grain in the
county.
United work an along the line this
week VIII bring TO W5cnita new era
OF prosperity and L cannot bring my
self TO realize that the people OF this
county VIII let such an opportunity
pass. To do 50 would be 10 say We are
willing to be made the butt OF discrinI-
hitting freight rates. That farmers are
wiling 10 sell their grain az a loss in
stead of a profit. l have a better opIn-
io.l of the farmers OF Sedgwick county"

THEY BRING REPLEvIN SUIT
For the Purpose of Settling a Dispute j Ohm
stcn-LarImer Bring the Case.

stcn-Larimer Bring the Case.
A suit filed against the Missouri Pa
cific railroad by the Johnston & Lari-
mer Dry Goods company, has caused a
good deal OF Comment. II was sup
posed that there was a matter OF rail-
road rates involved that concerned the
whole city. Wichita people are always
ready TO give the wholesale houses
their sympathy and it was supposed
that II Johnston & Larimer had COM
msnced a suit against the Missouri Pa
cific the road must have been guilty O;
cruel discrimination.
Mr.. Johnston said they were the best
Of friends with the Missouri Pacific,
and that this suit was the cause OF a
misunderstanding and came about in
this way: The JohnStOn-Larmer COM
pany received a bill OF goods that had
been shipped over different roads and
there was a misunderstanding between
Mr.. ohnston and the local agent in re-
gard to the rate The agent claimed
one thing and Mr.. Johnston another.
The matter had TO be referred back
to the railroad companies concerned,
and, OF course, the agent did not want
70 give up goods about which there
was q dispute. Mr.. ohnston said he
wanted the goods and could not wait
and TO avoid the local agent he re-
pievied the goods and gave bond for
the amount OF freight and Of course
got the goods.
we have no feeling whatever against
the Missouri Pacific railroad people"
said Mr.. Johnston. Our relations
with the railroads are entirely friendly,
and IL IS very unpleasant to have them
anu ~
does not Ike 10 give up when he thinks
he is right, and the dispute in this case
is as 70 what the railroads intend 10
charge. We claim that the rate estab-
lished by the railroads, and that is all
there is to il. Please say that We
have no fight against the Missouri Pa
cific ["

EyeIashes Made to Order,

In fashionable hairdressing parlor on one
of the downtown streets one reads the sign
"Eyelashes made to order
II do not know that there is anything par
tcularly novel about it, said the blond
young woman, who was asked for informa-
tion. I'VE have done this sort Of work for
months
And have you many patrons in that line?'
mot so many as we have in the other
branch of our business, the removal of hair
or wrinkles by means Of electricity but still
we have some.'
And then she explained the process of max
ing artificial eyelashes. An exceedingly deli
cate little instrument is used. 1t consists Of
a needle operated through a spring by means
of the finger. At one end OF the needle
hair is inserted When the operator is ready
to work on the person she takes the eyelid
between two fingers Of the left hand The
needle is then thrust into the heshy part of
the eyelid, close to- the eye as possible.
and the tiny hairs are actually sewed on
Eyelashes thus manufactured are warranted
to last two weeks without repairs OF course
the process hurts the patient, but what wo-
man will not willingly submit to suffering to
retain her beauty and her powers to charm?
