Ex-Public Printer Benedict was at the
Capitol yesterday morning, enjoying his
first day out OF office more heartily than
auy one he has spent in the office. Mr..
Benedict has made capital Public Printer,
andin his second term more than sustained
the excellent reputation gained in his first.
He was receiving compliments yesterday
for his good work, when well-known
Democratic Senator came along and said:
You are one of the few Cleveland ap-
pontees that | am sorry to see go out Of
office, for, in addition to being a good
printer, you were al ways a good Democrat. :"
II thank you for your good will, Sena-
tor replied the retiring Printer. Next
to being regarded as a good officer, 1 am
proud to be considered good party man. )"
The new Public Printer will have quite
q task before him II he fills the office as
ably and successfully as his predecessor.
Mr. Benedict introduced many reforms
into the office, including the very doubt
full one of civil service reform, for the
inception or operation OF which he can
not, however, be charged. he only car
ried into effect the Presidential order plac-
ing the department under the civil service
tits well known that the first and fore
most effort of the new Printer will be to
take care of O great many OF mis- own
party who desire places in the printing
office Yesterday was O field day for
Senators and Representatives at Mr.. Pal
mer's office The Senate was not in ses-
sion, and the House sat for only about an
hour.
This gave opportunity for Senator'S and
Members to descend on the new Printer,
which they did after the fashion and
very much in the numbers of the locusts
of Egypt They turned his office and its
ante-room into q bowling wilderness.
The visitors received very little comfort
from the Printer. He spent his time tell
ing over and over again the old, old story
that the civil service laws now regulated
the Printing Office Privately and conf
dentially he informed visitors of the Re
publican persuasion that he would GER
tainly take care of their friends sooner
or later, but he implored them for bit
of a breathing spell before he began to
do violence to the beautiful system i'm
posed on the office by President Cleve-
land, and which President Mckinley is
pledged to maintain.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofuious Humors How q Cure
Was Effected.
"when five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, alt hough the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
II appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
TO be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wiie's mother had had scrofals and the
only med icine which had helpd her was
Hoods Ssrsapariila. We decided TO give
it to our boy and We noted an improve
nent in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF hoods Sarsapariila
the humor had all been driven out Of lis
blood and il has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARrz, 4lS South Williams ST.,

You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla Of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

THEY GOT MARRIED
FLYING ANTELOPE WAS JAILED
FOR BREAKING TIE LAW.

He and His Handsome Bride Got Married
According to the Indian Cos,sm, Which
Was Against the Law-Thcy Were
Asked TO Have . Civil Marriage Per-
formed and Refuse-They Were Put In
Jsi,, Which Caused Them tn Repent.
They Are Now Keeping House in JAIN.
La For Thirty DAYS.

government. They were married accord
ing % the old Indian custom which was
made illegal al the last session OF the
Oklahoma legislature. Major Woodson
informed them that they would have 10
be married according 10 the law OF the
land. This they refused to do. So the
major had warrants issued for their ar
rest. Several other couples were also
guilty. but they skipped cut for the
WashIta country. The major has sent
officers 10 arrest them and have them
brought back 10 The camp.
After being confined in Jail for few

The polygamy law is only being enforc-
ed among the educated Indians.

SAGER WINS ALL
BREAKS STATE RECORD FOR FIVE.
NILE UNPACED HEAT.

Goes the Stretch In the Remarkably Short
Time of 1884, Which Lowers the State
Record q Creditab,e Notch-Track Was
All Cut Up BY Driving. Which Made the
lime of Races Much Slower Than Was
Expected, but Said to be . Fair
and Square Deal and Was No hip
podrome.
The match races between ". F. Sag
er Of Denver, and F. G. Barnett OF Lin
coin, Neb., held yesterday afternoon,
were all three won by Sager. The track
was in very bad condition, owing 10 the
carelessness Of the people who rode with
their buggies on it since last Saturday.
This made the racing slower than il
would have been otherwise. There was
only a small crowd in attendance. but
those who were there saw one state
record broken and another tied.
The first race was the half-mile stand
ing start unpaced, and starting from op-
posite sides Of the track. Sager won this
by very small margin. and in the fast
time Of LOO, which is excellent under the
conditions. The next was the mile,
paced by a running horse. The horse
was clearly too slow AMI the riders had
10 slacken their speed several times to
keep behind the pace. The finish was a
hot one, and Sager won by half wheel
in 2:2S. Had the horse been a fast one
the time would have been ma terially
lowered. Following this race, W. W.
Oudkirk gave an exhibition quarter of
mile dash, and made il in 81 Is, which
ties the state record for that distance.
The races closed with the five mile, I'M
paced, starting from opposite sides Of
the track. For the first three miles they
rode nearly equally apart. but after that
Sager gained rapidly and in the last
mile Barnett dropped out a badly beat
en- man. Sager kept up his pace and
covered the distance in the record break
ing time Of 12:54 The former state rec
ord was 1902. There was some criticism
On the time made, but no one could be
blamed except the ones who tore up the
track driving their 3.77 horses over it for
pleasure. The people have no respect for
a good track, and don't know that 1t
takes time and money to fix one up.

Paid Out on Mortgages.
The Niederlander place that J. ]. Ne
Namara purchased a few months prior
10 his death was bought Of Mrs Nc
Namara yesterday by Ben Garland for
$1,000. Papers were filed with Probate
Judge Haymaker asking permission to
make the deed to Mr.. Garland, and the
property will pass into hands within a
few days.
That was only one Of the important
real estate transfers made yesterday,
and yesterday was only one day out OF
six in the week just as good, or at least,
on an average as good Abe Graves also
parted from his homestead place on Ar
kansas avenue just north Of Twentieth
street, il gong to a man by the name
OF Lessieur, who was willing 10 pay
good price for what he could see in the
future advance of Wichita real estate.
John L. Jacobs sold his place on North
Emporia avenue at good figure and
other deals were made, but these three
were caught on a trade through the
court house And speaking about the
worthlessness or value Of mortgages
man who offices in the court house said
yesterday that he saw in the court house
alone $500 cross the counter TO pay
mortgages on Sedgwick county farms.
And al this is not saying anything ABOUT
the dozen other real estate transfers
that took place with farms and prop
erty in other parts the city than those
here mentioned and of perhaps the
thousand other dolalrs that were quiet
Iy left with different loan agents to lift
Indebtedness. And with all this there is
the wheat crop to come in yet, and a
fairly good corn crop 10 gather, and the
way the market for both has gone up
in the last month or two abundance OF
material for the ccancellation Of mort
cages is forthcoming. The day isn't far
IN the future when Sedgwick county
farms can be turned as readily as
Dushel Of Irish potatoes or a bolt of
calico and mortgages already good as
gold will be as much in demand as any
instrument other than government
bonds

Topsy s, the speedy mare owned by
Mr.. w. F. Steadman Of Valley Center,
won the 2:22 pace yesterday at ST. Joe,
Mo. The best time was made in 2:0e 1-2.
Topsy S raced here last fall at the races
and was driven by Hoop Perry. She did
not win any first money last fall but
she clearly demonstrated that she had
speed, and she made the other horses go
their best in order to carry off first
money. Topsy S is another Sedgwick
county horse that has done good work
this season.
