To Build a Church,

The EpiScopalians have submitted
plans and specifications to the build
erS of the city fora neat frame church
building to occupy the site selected
some time ago for that purpose on
South Jefferson avenue, which when
completed, will be one Of the prettieSt
little churches in the city. The
Episcopal denomination in this city is
small in numbers, but they have long
contemplated erecting a suitable
building for worship, to take the
place Of the one destroyed by the cy'
clone several years ago. They OWL
the lots just across 5he street south
from the bus barn. The new church
will be built on the lots adjoining the
twO-story frame house at the corner
of Fourth street and jefferson ave
nue.. 1t will cost between 500 anC
$1,000, and they expect to have il
ready for worship sometime during
the summer.

Wreck Near MuIyane

Friday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock
bad wreck occurred on the Engle-
wood branch Of the Santa Fe two
miles west of Mulvane. 1t was caused
either by defective car or overload
ing. The Wichita Eagle that morning
tells Of the wreck and says that AL
Strait, a brakeman living on South
EmpOria avenue, was injured in the
accident.
The train was running eastward at
the rate of about thirty miles per
hour, when suddenly and without
warning box-car loaded with shelled
corn collapsed. That necessarily
made an obstruction on the track and
the two cars Immediately following
behind were entangled in the wreck
in an instant. Strait, the brakeman,
was standing on the next car behind
the one which collapsed. 1t was a fiat
car loaded with coal, and he was
thrown violently off to one side, and
it was indeed a lucky thing that he
was, for the flying coal, iron and tim E.
berS was no pleasant affair to be in
the midst Of. He was picked up be.
yOnd barbed wire fence which runs
along the right of way. 1t was a very
aerial flight, but no doubt saved his
life. The distance was said to be
about 100 feet. Strait was severely
bruised on the left side. He was TAX
en- to Mulvane and later to Wichita,
where a carriage awaiting the arrival
of the train, took him to his home.
The wreck happened so quick that
no one knew what had happened, un-
til it was all over with. The rear end
came to a very sudden stop, which
threw those in the cabOOSe off their
feet in a very unceremOniOus manner,
but luckily no one was injured. A
wrecking gang were soon put to work
on the wreCkage, and last night the
track was cleared again.
This is the run Conductor Ryan
was recently assigned to. He went
up to Mulvane that night to make his
first trip west over this branch. He
is no doubt congratulatiOg himself
today that he barely escaped being in
the wreck.

A New Social Feature.

The Merry Maids deserve credit for
originating the most unique and SEN
sible feature in social entertainments
yet introduced in social gatherings in
the city. At the function given by
Miss Mary Purcell at her home on
South Washington avenue Saturday
night in honor of st. Valentines day,
the principle and most interesting
feature of the evening was the "Ad-
yertiSement Game" which was PLAYED
by cutting out portions of advertise

K. & L. of F. Social.

An open meeting Of the Knights
and Ladies of the Fireside was held
at the Grand Army hall Saturday
evening. About two hundred per-
sons were present and enjoyed the
hospitality of the lodge members.
The exercises of the evening were
opened with an invocation by Rev. B.
f. Pugh. DR.. ]. G. Reid delivered an
address on the benefits of belonging
to the order, which is very highly
spoken Of. The members then sang
the lodge ode, and Mrs. Mel Wyatt
gave humorous recital of the initia-
tion into a Masonic lodge. James
Smith and Warren Brumley rem.
dered one of their flrst-class violin
duets, after which Miss Pearl Aldrich
gave a delightful recitation which
pleased the audience very highly.
Prof. TheO. Huuse's orchestra, con-
SiSting of the Misses Bradley, Katie
Price and Miss McCarty, rendered
some excellent music, and the congre-
CATION joined in singing america.
The banquet tables were then
loaded with an unlimited supply of
choice delicacieS, to which nearly two
hundred persons did ample justice.
In justice to the ladies be it said that
no more palatable supper was ever
spread in this city than the one given
by the X. & L. of f. at the Grand
Army hall Saturday evening. After
the supper Prof. Huuses orchestra
again rendered some choice selections,
which were encored. The guests and
lodge members enjoyed the evening
in manner long to be remembered,
and the lodge no doubt will gain many
additions to its membership as a
result of the excellent social qualities
and workings shown at the open
meeting Saturday night.

Simpsons Shortage.
Journal. Friday.

Journal, Friday.
The Voice yesterday contained a
rather sensational accusation against
ExDistrict Clerk Simpson, claiming
that he was short in his accounts in
round numbers, about $1,000. The
Voice is credited 10 this instance with
q genuine scoop. 1t was known that
Mr.. Simpson had failed to turn the
books of the Office over to his success
sor in first-clasS shape, and that Mr..
Simpson was possibly Withholding
about $1,000 in fees and judgments
which had been paid into his hands
during his term of Office, but it was
supposed to be due to the failure of
the Sumner National bank. Mr.. Simp-
son claims that there is no shortage;
that when the Sumner National bank
was pulled under he had $1,12O.5O on
deposit representing fees collected for
costs, etc. This is about all there is
TO it.
But it cannot be denied that there
is some misunderstanding between
the eX-diStrict clerk and the present
official, and now that the matter has
gotten into print the JOURNAL is dis
posed to talk freely OF the matter.
There is no use in denying the fact
that Mr.. Simpsons books have been
careleSsly kept. Mistakes have been
discovered by Mr.. Copeland in several
instances, sometimes in Mr.. Simpsons
favor and sometimes against him.
Since Mr.. Simpsons retirement he
has paid over to his successor, to rec
tify these mistakes, about $500, but
owing to the bad condition of the
books they are unable to apply it
properly.
The $1,000 SHORTAGE represents
fees deposited with the clerk for costs
in suits filed. There is one item of
sl77 in favor Of Todd Cromwell which
was paid into Mr.. Simpsons hands for
the purpose of settling a judgment
rendered against a litigant. This
sum is included in the amount said to
be on deposit when the bark failed.
Now, Mr.. Simpson is indebted to the
bank in sum something more than
the amount of his deposits. and just
whether this is system of pecula-
tlOn, or whether Mr. Simpson was un-
fortunate in financial affairs, is left
for him to explain. There is no doubt
that somebody is going to come out
loser. When the costs are called for
IN these cases there will be no avail
able cash on hand for the present
clerk to draw from. They will be told
that the funds are tied up in the
Sumner National bank. The cases
now in court are not likely to be pro-
ceeded with if the cost money fer
warded to Mr.. Simpson is not avail
able to pay expenses. Mr.. Copeland
will either call for more costs in all
these cases or stop the process of liti-
cation. The Voice claims that the
alleged shortage will likely foot up
$1,000. We are Informed by Mr.. Cope.
land that so far as known the short.
age atpreSent is something over 81, 200
Mr.. Copeland is not conducting an
investigation of the affairs of Mr.
Simpson, but as inquiries come into
the office concerning old cases he find!
great many mistakes, sometimes tt
Mr.. Simpsons credit and sometime!
unfavOrable to him, but the new dis
coveries do not materially change tht
original figure of $1,000.
