cious Actions Toward Young Girls.
The police are tired of inactivity and
thew want something TO DO.
For want of something more exciting
they have taken the bull by the horns
down on Fourth avenue and propose
% clean it out
-Four of the most notorious characters
on the avenue have been driven from
rhe city and Kay" had TO skip a re"
davs ago. Kay was the king OF the
avenue and he was the object OF the
attention of the police for the past few
years.
"Kay's" wife was gathered in yester-
asv and she. too, will have TO go away
,-st,+v soon. She was awful drunk
yesterday and was walking about the
sven1,e airnlessly. She was so full
Vnat she walked up against walls as II
they were open doors. She budged her
nose against trees and walked on the
.s5dewaIk like sailor after long Voy-
ege.
When Mr.. Sutton arrested her she
wore neither shoes, stockings nor hat
end her other clothing was not extern

uggy she dropped down in the bottom
C.. the wagon and went to sleep. When
SIC arrived at the police station she

MS Kay is the same Ida Foster who
hes figured in nearly all the scraps on
Fourth avenue during the last five years
The police say that the avenue is
worse now than during the history of
Wichita They have adopted syste-
z. tic plan Of cleaning il out and think
they will succeed.
The sensational feature OF The police
department yesterday was when z. A
NJ nsfield was brought in for maxim g
suspicious approaches to young girls.
Mr. Coffey called the attention of Off
Ger Sutton to 1t first but Mansfield de-
MED the statement of Coffey. Mr.. SUIT
ton then gave Mansfield an hour 10
iea re the city and he promised. When
enc hour had expired Sutton ran across
Ma nsfield again holding a conversation
with a frightened little girl near the
ops pa house. He arrested him and the
court fined him SO and costs which he
va, unable TO pay. 1t is probable
that the county attorney will take
hard in the matter. Mansfield Is bar

The
Medium.
TEE WICHITA WEEKLY EAGLE

Established in 1872 and for twenty-four
years has stood at the head of all Week
lies in the state. There are people in
this county who have read it from its
first issue and are readers today. Why
do they read it? Simply because they
are after the reliable and latest news
and can only get it through this medium
1t has more columns of live reading
than all the Weeklies in the county.
Business men are approached daily by
representatives and even proprietors Of
these local papers with the stereotyped
expression that they have the largest
circula ton in the county. Well, We pay
the postage. They do not. II they
are the local papers they claim they are
hard to locate. There have been hun
dreds of them in the twenty-four years
that the Eagle has been in the field and

A very large number Of people congre-
gated at the station to bid the President
gOOd-by. and the ladies crowded around
the platform al the entrance of the car,
anxious to clasp the hand Of the Presi-
dent once more. He stood on the rear
platform of the car, and bid good-by TO
the committee, and expressed himself as
highly pleased with the reception and well
come accorded him. When the hour for
mis- departure came, the train moved off
with the President standing upon the rear
platform, bowling good-by, amid the
cheers and shouts of the assemblage.
which lasted until the train rounded the
curve.
In speaking Of his shooting on Thursday
in the marshes of the Annandale Club, at
Friend Field" the President said ii was
the finest OF his life that the ducks liter
ally swarmed around him. That day he
killed fifty-eight mallards himself.
