THIS Is wICHITA's DAY
Governor Leedy VIII Hear Suggestions as
to Commissioners.

Governor Leedy has inaugurated new
rule in his office which systemizes his re-
cep-ion of visitors and his other labors.
He receives visitors from a. m. 10 l p.
m. each day, Sundays excepted. After L
o'clock his Office will be closed to callers
and he will devote his time TO CORES
pcndence. He has given hearings to
parties interested in police boards of To-
peka and Fort Scott, and today he will
hear parties from Wichita regarding the
appointment of new board for this city.
When the appointments are made it will
relieve powerful brain pressure in this
community. There are so many persons
desiring positions through channels lead
ing out from the police commissioners
that a large percentage of the popula-
ton are interested in the appointments
Others who are not directly interested
have a curiosity TO know which Wichita
faction has the strong pull with the ad-
ministration. Sheriff Cone, from the
Eagles point of observation, has a
strong influence with Senator Lewelling
and Governor Leedy, and through Mr..
Cones smile or frown aspirants will be
raised to positions or given the marble
heart" Regardless OF what the weather
signals may say, this will be cold day
with many of our citizens.

WEATHER
BENEFITS OF THE COLD WAVE DIS
CUSSED.
Gentleman Thinks the Cold Wave VIII
lutely Necessary as q Purifier - The
Packers of Natural Ice Preparing to
Valley are Well Housed and Well Fed,
But There May be Losses of Cattle on
the Western PIairs.

In an eating house Tuesday number
of gentlemen were congregated and the
conversation turned upon the most popu-
lar OF all topics, the weather. One gen
tleman asserted that the present cold
wave was a great blessing to humanity.
for, said he, tine soft, spring-iike wea-
thec which has prevailed with few ex-
ceptional Gays prior to this blizzard,
brought more distress to the people than
ssasouab,a winter weather would nave
done. Why, half Of the people of this
community were sufferers from various
maladies. most all of them called grip,
just when the weather was most plea
SAINT. Gene Ware says war is as neces-
sary as peace, and 1 claim that cold
weather in this latitude is as. necessary
as the baimy days. The air is impreS-
mated with eli kinds of elements that
scientists can't analyze, and when the
wea the. is uLseasonably warm the germs
of disease float around seeking whom
they may tackle and PROSTATE. Frost
is great purifier. and 1 predict that you
viii hear fewer complaints of la grippe
after this wave rolls by"
Mr. Charles Hoff was present and be-
ing twitted on his hog melt prognostic5
said:
My prediction four days ago was that
if we did not get cold weather pretty
soon We would drift through 10 spring
as we did last winter. There was Just
one swell left on the melt, and after that
i: tarers smoothly to the small end.
what are your chances for an ice
crop?' was asked Mr.. Hoff.
Splendid" said he. Il will begin the
filling OF three small ice houses Thurs
day morning, and during next week will
fill the large houses on the lake shore. y
But isn't there possibility of thaW
shutting you OFF,
Not bit of ii. The storm is too great
in area to admit of much change in the
next ten days. 1t is cold for five hun
dred miles all around us, and soft wea-
ther is a good ways off.
Mr.. Hoff is already having numerous
applicat tions for work by laborers, and
viii doubtless work quite a throng OF
them.
AS to the condition of stock in this part
of the state, Mr.. E. B. Jewett thinks 1t
is we'll housed and there is an aoudance
OF feed, but there will doubtless be the
usual complaint of suffering and loss
among the ranchmen on the western

PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

Worms rob children of the life-giving
properties of their food, retard their
growth and weaken their constitutions
for life. Most mothers know the symp-

and sleep is disturbed. Thousands of
mothers have found Whites Cream
