HAS BECOHE PERMANENT
Wichita Lyceum Has Become Permanent
and Popular

The Wichita Lyceum with its annual
series OF winter entertainments has
seemingly become a permanent and pop
ular educational feature The success Of
the Lyceum in no doubt due to the
pains IL has taken to provide nothing but
1irst-class talent, whether oratorical,
musical or dr3matic. The program, just
issued for the coming season, is the
finest thing Of the kind ever issued by
1t or by any other society of the charac-
ter in the city. None of the best peo-
pie of the town can afford TO miss the
course this winter, which will open with
a grand concert by Clemente De We're
ana the company of artists which she
heads. Edward Mann, the eminent and
modern magician, whose refined exhibit
tions OF higher magic never fails OF
charming, is in the course. He is in no
sense an old-fsshioned slight Of hand
performer. but one high in MS profess
sion. The Swedish Qusrtette Is also
booked with one evening by the Wich-
ita Musical club in which Miss EudOra
Wood will be the vocal -oloist Among

Bows Brick Block on the Southwest Corner
of Douglas and Lawrence Avenues
Is Sold to a Gentleman From the East
Who is Here Studying the Business Con-
dftion of the City and It's Future-An-
other Story Maybe Added-Other Real
Estate Deals That Indicate the Advance
in Price and Demand.
The brick block on the southwest cor
her OF Douglas and Lawrence avenues,
known az the Roys building in which
are located Thompson's grocery and
Bakers music store, was sold the latter
part Of this week and yesterday went
into the hands Of a gentleman who Is
here now studying the conditions OF the
city with a view to making other invest
ments The price paid is figure some
thing like 20 per cent above what the
property was listed at year ago and
the fact that the gentleman who made
the purchase was here only few days
before deciding upon the deal will furn-
ish some idea OF how Wichita's business
future impresses people. The building
is not bought by the gentleman in ques-
ton as a long range investment but the
purchases now being made are chiefly
by men of capital who expect 70 become
actually engaged in the daily business OF
the city.
This is one Of the largest deals that
has been consummated in Wichita realty
for two or three years except, of course,
the purchase Grieffenstein ana Riverside
Parks by the city itself, and marks
new gait in Wichita't new stride of So.
The upper stories OF the block will be
thoroughly renovated, and it is probable
that another story may be added TO the
building eventually. At any rate, it is
TO be devoted TO the usual business pur-
poses. The sale OF the Roys block
marks new energy in the large field Of
real estate exchange.
Besides this there are going on every
day numbers Of residence property sales,
and the advance seem 10 be substantial.

purchased the Arey property in River

-Four lots on Lawrence avenue, be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets, I
advertised for several months at $500

 While those present were paying their respects tp the distinguished visitors, the WI ipple orchestra rem dered very pleasing programme of music. Dancing was commenced about 10 o'clock and continued till 2:30 this morning.

The hall was decorated with pine twigs built into columns around the hall, and connected with a festoOn of the same, which encircled the entire hall. A huge Chinese lantern depended from the ceiling in the center of the hall, surrounded an electric light, from which streamcrs of red, white and blue were strung to the corners, the whole giving a very beautiful effect.

den the A. R. U, striker under sen tence of death for train wrecking that her plea for pardon would be granted. It will be a very grave mistake for any executive officer to pardon Worden. The crime for which he stands convicted was one Of the most diabolical murders that could be concocied in the human brain. Worden was locomotive engineer in the employ of the South ern Pacific company. In order to avenge an imaginary grievance against a railroad company he cut the supports of a railroad bridge whereby a brother engineer was drawn to his death. One or two others were also killed with him. If such fiendish crimes as these find no adequate punishment under the law, then indeed is there no justice. President Mckinley will certainly not pardon h.m as reported.
 1 German socialists are industrious ly engaged in circulating an alleged speech of Emperor Williams, in which he is quoted, in addressing a body of recruits, composed of chil- dren of veteran soldiers, as saying: 'Recruit,: You have given me the oath of allegiance before the altar and a servant of the Lord. You are still too young to comprehend the true meaning of what has been said here, but first of all ever take care to follow the orders and instructions that are given you. You have taken the oath of allegance to me; this means, children of my Guards, that you are now my soldiers, that you have gwen yourselves up to me body and soul. But one enemy tx ists for you-my enemy. With the present socialistic intrigues, it may happen that shall command you tO shoot your own relatives, youl
 brothers, even your parents, (irom which God preserve us,l and ther you are in duty bound to obey my orders nhesitatingly." While the language attributed to the Emperor Is pretty stIong he has used Ian

NIT. M...leL.. Gravel wa.hsr.

There were between thirty and forty persons. among the number being several ladies, present on Sat urday at the Lynx creek hydraulic works, Ia witness the operation of T. c. Barlow Massick's newly pat ented steam gravel washing and amalgamating machine. 4 run of forty-three minutes was made, daf- ing winch seventy yards of gravel was run through it, and cleaned up the clean up, showing Sl7 in gold saved.
 A few years ago Sir. Massieks purchased Bucyrus steam shovel for operating on gravel, but after n thorough test, it was found de- fective in very many material points. He started iu to improve the machine, and has had no less than three machines built, tho re- suit being that he has now an en- lirely nAw aud perfect machine. so far as the principles involved in it are concerned, the only defect in the present machine being q weak uess or deficiency in the apparatus handling the gravel. Ali other portions of the machinery give per feet satisfaction, and by making this portion stronger he wilt in crease it's capacity about fifty per cent.
 Mir. Massicks now owns all the patents to this machine. and has been offered very snug fortune for one half interest in the patents covering it, but prefers to retain them himself. It promises to work a revolution in placer mining where water Is scarce, as it can be operated on a very small amount of water, as compared to hydraulic mining and, unlike the latter, the same water can be pumped back and used time and time again with comparatively little loss.
 Mir. Mass cks proposes strengthen- ing the weak part mentioned in the above machine by building it anew, when the machine will be put in operation regularly in washing out gravel. T
