TRIAL OF A PICKPOCKET.
Case of J. NJ. Kinsella Who Took a
Woman's Pocketbook.

The case of the state against J. NJ.
Kinsella, charged with pocket picking,
is occupying the time of the district
court today. Kinsella is the man who
so desperately fought Patrolman John
Lucas when that officer attempted to
arrest him on a Union Pacific train
last January. It was only after a Sc
we're clubbing that Lucas was able to
take the man back to the Union Pacific
depot from the Rock Island crossing,
where the train stopped to let the officer
and his prisoner off.
The evidence in the case shows that
Kinsella attempted to take a pocket
book from the pocket of Mrs Hannah
Lombard, a resident of Randolph, Kan,
and was discovered in the act by Isaac
Moon. also of Randolph, Kan. The
pocketbook contained cOnsiderab bic mon
ey.
When Kinsella was arrested he was
clean shaver, and was a very tough
looking specimen of humanity. During
his residence at the county jail he has
grown a mustache and whiskers, and
these hirsute adornments add mater
tally to his personal appearance.

w1cHITA's FALL FESTIVAL.
The Board of Trade Takes Steps to
Organize a Fair and Fiesta.

Wichita, April S.-Wichita will have
fair or fall festival next October. This
was decided at a meeting of the board
of trade yesterday and substantial men
are back of the plan.
A new fair association will be in
charge and the following directors were
elected yesterday: C. G. Cohn, c. R.
Fulton, B. B. Herndon, Sam Hess, Chas.
H Smyth, ThOs. Shaw, W. W. John
ston, B. L. Eaton, J. J. Mcnamara, j ohm
Mahan, NJ. KrailsheiIner, S. Ashton,
w. E. Jett, and H. G. TOler.
There is a demand for such an insti-
tuition and necessity. Tributary to
Wichita there is a big territory rich in
varied interests that would profit by a
yearly competition and comparison of
ideas, and all this would bring its har-
vest to Wichita business men. Retail
ers in Kansas and Oklahoma could
meet the wholesalers and have the ben
eft of competitive exhibition of their
goods and the large crowds would
spend thousands of dollars with the re-
tailers.
A great many people throughout
southern Kansas and Oklahoma who do
not go to Topeka on account of the dis
lance would come here; probably not
next fall, but in the course of time
when the annual fair became a part of
Wichita.

RELIEF WORK STARTS.
Secretary Alger Receiving Reports
From Government Agents in
Flooded Districts.

Washington, April S.-Secretary Al
ger is pushing forward the work of re-
lief for the flood sufferers and within a
few days the disbursement of the ra-
tons provided by congress will begin.
Today the secretary was in consultation
with Col. Gillespie, president of the
Missouri river commission who was
summoned here by telegraph by the
secretary for that purpose. Col. Giles
pie has just returned from a visit of
inspection of the flooded districts along
the lower Mississippi, and, backed by
his experience in the river improve
ments, was able to give the secretary
an idea of the needs of the situation. It
is felt by the engineer officers that with
the appropriation of $3.50 900 already
placed at their disposal by congress for
the protection of the improvement
works, they will be able to restore the
broken levees and get the river banks
into normal shape wherever they are
protected by the levees constructed by
the national government and are not
state works.
Already Capt. Fitch at Memphis has
preparation to the extent of $4,000 for
the repairs necessary in his district
which lies up the river from Memphis.
With a view to the ascertainment of
the exact state of the levees as far as
possible TO learn at this time, General
Wilson, chief of engineers, has tele-
graphed to the officers of his corps
along the river, to report the facts to
him These reports came along this
morning. They have reference solely to
the IeVeeS.
