MISS YAW AT WICHITA.
The Popular Concert Singer Receives
an Ovation.

If the fact that Ellen Beach Yaw is
everybody's favorite in Wichita had
need of any further illustration, it could
have been found in the reception she
was accorded at her last nights ap-
pearance at the Crawford Grand. SAYS
the Wichita Eagle.
Rarely does a concert singer receive
such an ovation. for last nights con-
cert was not only q phenomenal sue
cess, but a positive ovation In the
first place the house was a phenOme-
nally large one--the largest in fact
that has greeted a Crawford Grand at
traction at any time since Booth and
Barrett made their memorable appear
ance here. Maxirnillian Dick all but
shared the hOnOrS with the star. He
was not surprise to Wichita, how
ever. as his former success here will be
remembered as second only to that of
Remenyi in his Wichita appearances
Max Dick is one of Americas greatest
Violinists and yet at the same time he
Is one of the youngest on the concert
stage today. The prediction that when
he has reached the age of Remenyi
Dick will not only rival but excel that
great artist, is certainly a judicious
one.
Miss Lay opened the concert with
mediately became a faVOrite. The virle
expression that characteriZeS some of
her more pretentiOuS numbers is Won
derful, considering her slight physique.
AS an accompanist, Miss Lay is sym
pathetic to a degree. AS an encore to
his last number, Mr.. Dick rendered
Francis Thome's "Andanta Religioso.'
This was only the second time that Mr.
Dick had used this number in concert
but it was played with the precision and
fidelity to the original that is noticed in
his Interpretation of all he attempts.
Successful as were all of Miss Yaws
solos, it was in that beautiful laughing
chansOn from Auber'S "ManOn Les
can't that she nrQb9 h1V made tho ore r
impression. There were perhaps not a
half dozen listeners in the great audi
ence who were able to translate it. but
it needed no translation as interpreted
last night Her most pretentiOus num-
Der was that taken from Verdis great
opera, La Traviata," and she fully
realized all the magnificent opportuni-
ties it presents.

MORAL INFLUENCE.
1t Should Never Appear in the Form of
UnsymPathetic Opposition.

It Should Never Appear in the Form of
Unsympathetic Opposition.
The most effective way to strengthen
a man or a child in a wrong course is
to manifest an unsympathetic oPPosi-
ton. Something in human nature
leads most of us, in such circumstances,
to desire to have our own way. We
say most of u.s." because we ought
never to forget that there are certain
ideally constituted persons who, when
they are told what they ought to do.
straightway go and do IT. But parents
commonly find that in dealing with
average children a hard exercise of
authority is not usually the most effec-
tive to lead them to choose the best
courses And those who seek to in
Guence and lead men discover that to
lay down the law too vigorously is not
always the wisest way Of getting men
to do what they desire. 1T is not the
mere fact of opposition that fixes men
in their determination not to be guild
cd by Others" says the Watchman.
1T is unsympathetic opposition. IF
YOU can once convince man or a child
that your opposition is not prompted
by disregard of his opinions, or by
pride of authority, you have gone far
toward winning him to your view.
The Apostle Paul enjoins men to speak
the truth in love- It is not enough
that a parent or leader possess the
truth and declare it; to be effective the
truth snouldbe spoken in love- Some
people think so much Of the truth that
they think nothing at all of the feel
ings, the opinions and Prejudices Of
those to whom they declare it, They
wonder that they do net do more good.
There is nothing mysterious about 1T
Their attitude toward others is uEsym-
pathetic. and that is enough to account
for the fact that those whom they seek
to influence are under q strong tempta-
ton not to do the thing that has been
urged upon them.''-Boston Budget

NO SANTA FE DIVIDEND YET.
Chicago Post Tells of the Disposition
of the Surplus.

Rapid and continuous Improvement in
the earnings of the Santa Fe road has
created the impression, which appears
to be very generally held that a diyi,
dend may possibly be declared early in
the spring on the adjustment bonds of
the company, says the Chicago Post.
This is altogether a wrong impress
sion, however. Under the terms of the
mortgage nothing may be paid on these
bonds before the middle of October
next. The clause of the mortgage gov
erning the case reads as follows: ION
or before the 18th day of October in
each year, beginning with the year 1897
the board of directors shall and will
ascertain the surplus net earnings for
the fiscal year ending on the preceding
3Oth day of the June of the railways
and other property covered by this
mortgage and of the railway company
from all sources, and shall determine
the rate of interest, if any, which such
surplus net earnings shall suffice to
pay pro rata on account of the interest
then payable on the bonds hereby Sc
cured-that is to say, non-cumulative
interest at the rate of 4 per cent for
each fiscal year up to June 80, 1900, and
cumulative interest at the rate of per
cent per annum after that date"

NO MORE JUGGLING.
The People Want No Sleek Work
With Grave Robbery Cases.

A. N. Dake, who is the prosecuting
witness in some of the grave robbery
cases, says that he never made a re-
quest that the criminal proceedings be
dismissed
when my civil cases were settled
said Mr.. Dake, Il was requested to
sign statement requesting that the
criminal proceedings be dismissed
said that L would not do so, that I
wanted the cases tried and would not
consent to their dismissal. My position
on the matter was clearly understood.
and never in any way intimated that
did not wish them to be tried, though
I understand Mr.. Lillis made such q re-
quest.
Il was told few days ago that in the
Van Fleet and Lillis cases against Dr.
Minney. the name of the county had
been left out and the indictments were
probably not good. In my case against
DR.. Minney 1 was told the indictment
was all right. Now it is reported it
was the LilliS case against DR.. Minney
that is good and not mine. I do not
understand how this could have been
changed. and it looks somewhat sus-
picious if it were really done.
1T has never been my desire that the
criminal proceedings against the de-
PENDANTS be dropped, and particularly
should DR.. Minney suffer the penalties
of the law, as I believe him to be the
chief conspirator.
LAS these criminal suits were instiga-
ted by the grand jury personally have
tireIy in the hands of the county attor-
ney, but I sincerely hope he will do his
duty.
Should these men escape punishment
here on earth they certainly will not
easily escape their fate in the world to
come. Because I have been more quiet
than the others is no indication that L
have been more anxious for the punish
mentS of the Defendants
County Attorney Jetmore ought to
know whether it is the Lillis or Dake
indictment which still remains against
DR.. Minney. He told a Journal report
er yesterday after the news of the de-
cision of Judge Thompson had been re-
ceived that the action released DR.. Min
ney as the other indictment was in the
Lillis case and the prosecuting witness
had requested that the case be dismiss
ed.
This ends the case so far as DR.. Min
ney is concerned said Mr.. Jetmore-
THE other indictment is in the Lillis
case and Mr.. Lillis has requested that
the case be dismissed. DR.. Minney VIII
not be tried but the other cases viii be
for the decision disposes of all the mo-
tons to quaSh."
There seems to be something wrong
with the grave robbery case and the
people would like to know what it is,
and who is juggling with them.

TOO MANY PASSES OUT.
Some One Duplicated the House
Tickets and Caused Trouble.

Speaker Street has declined to issue
any more passes to the floor of the

Early in the session the speaker issued
a number of red tickets which have

The house has experienced no end of
confusion during the past week because
of the disturbance kept up by the lob
