MANY NEW VOTERS
1t Is Estimated That There are
Five Hundred Here.
WHO NEVER VOTED BEFORE
At an Election Held for State
or County Officers,

This city is certainly and surely in
creastng IN population. This facr is sub
Stimulated IN many different ways. but
the most convincing fact is the great in
crease in the school enrolment Super
intendent Dyer in his last report SAID
that it was only a question of very
short time when more room would be
needed.
This new influx is giving the politicians
considerable bother. In the First Sec
ond and Third wards is where the in
crease OF new voters IS most marked.
Yesterday Chairman Schell said that he
thought at a low estimate there would be
800 votes cast this fall that had never
dropped a ballot into a box in this city.
While the increase is much larger in the
First. Second and Third wards, the Fifth
has also got many strangers who will
have u vote. Chairman Schel thinks it
is vastly in favor OF the Republicans. A
careful poll has been made, and although
not completed, a good working estimate
cal be adduced, which indicates that the
Republican majority in this city will be
several hundred more than IN the most
y
number refuse to tell with what party
they affiliate. That is, the women folks
are the ones usually SEEN and they either
do not know or will not communicate it
to the poll man.
Mr.. Downing, who has charge OF the
poll books and registration, said yeSter-
day that there was no question about a
large increase in population. Picking up
one book, he turned TO the names COM
mencing with "a" which is generally a
small one. In this particular precinct he
compared it with the book USED two years
ago. Then there were SIX names enrolled
and now there are eight, and two of the
six had moved from the city. This made
four new voters in one precinct, and only
one letter of the alphabet was scanned
However, he said that while not as large
a per cent of increase was noticeable, per-
haps there were some in each precinct,
and generally under each letter.
At the Populist headquarters they had
ever, they said that there was a wonder
full shifting of voters and while they look
ed glum they tried to make out that it
indicated results for them.
1t is keeping the older politicians guess
ing considerably as to just how the new
inhabitants will vote. Chairman Schell is
positive that it will be found in the right
column, which is the Republican ticket,
on election day

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY
MAY COME TO THE REUNION
Will Visit Omaha ON Twelfth Of
October.

The various committees having IN
charge the arrangements for the soldiers
reunion next week. and others interest ed
to the number of nearly a hundred, met
at the city clerks o ce to complete the
work Of preparation. Captain Burgess
presided, and made g. sta teInent concern
ing the work that had been done. He
stated that the meeting had been well
advertised, and the indications were that
large number would be in attendance
| from outside OF Sedgwick county. DR.
Minick, treasurer, made his report. The
finance committee reported by Chairman
Haythorn and showed a good sum in their
hands. and it was thought that more
funds would yet be raised, so that suffi-
cient money would be on hand TO meet
the expenses OF the encampment.
A visitor who evidently thought the
amount smaller than the exigencies OF
the case required, made some criticism of
the liberality of the Wichita business
men, This brought Dr.. Minick to his feet
and he made a vigorous defense of the
business men. He showed how often they
were called upon. how cheerfully they re-
sponded, and how their liberality had
made Wichita the best convention city
in Kansas. Others followed in the same
strain, and it was clearly apparent that
the association appreciates the kind
nesses received from our business men.

MUSIC AND DRAMA
"A BREEZY TIME. I"

For the last few years. il would seem
as if the public has been seeking that
class Of plays having as their fundamen-
tai principle. the creation of merriment.
Working for this idea, the author Of "A
Breezy Time" has given an amusing and
well told story that Fitz and Webster 5
clever company Of comedy players have
succeeded in celebrating into an en1oya-
BILE entertainment MeritoriOus from the
fact that it not only ma sail the elements
OF music and fun, but its story is coherent
and full of we'll sustained interest.
The three acts of a Breezy Time" have
been happily impregnated with music,
songs, dances and amusing specially fea-
lures. all OF which are introduced in an
easy and perfectly legitimate manner and
the presentation gives a bright and crisp
entertainment.
The finale OF The .ast act was arranged
by Fritz and Webster in which they in

Specialist in Charge.

an old '49er went to the scene of the
fray, accompanied by the yard shepherd
dog. who was TO go IN and attract hts
attention while tire men raised che gate
back on its hinges. Mr.. Williams was
standing under the gate trying 10 hold
it up, while Mr. Dulaney inserted a key
to unlock it and clear away ohe wreck
OF timber. All this time the big beast
was wat ching them and when satisfied
they were busy and did not scent his
motive, lowered that powerful head and
dashed at them with mis- eyes flashing fire.
Mr.. Dulaney forgot his dignity as the
head of a big stock exchange and with
out ceremony clombtd a high fence for
safety. Mr.. Williams, in attempting to
free himself and get out from under tho
massive gate. let go and also made for
feed trough on the other side OF the pal
ings. The buffalo rushed in where Mr..
Williams had been standing and as he
did so the gate toppled over and fell full
weight over on him. This only enraged
him the more, and he let go all his force
at anything before him. Then the shep-
herd dog tackled the game in earnest. and
managing to avoid those lightning heels,
kept industriously biting at his legs until
he had run him to the far end of the
alley. Then the gate was placed on it's
hinges. thrown open and all hands under
took to coax and drive him back An
other heavy gate was repeatedly swung
full into his face, but with head lowered
he would dash into it. until it seemed as
though not whole splinter would be
left. When all tired out he finally gave
up, and worried with the dogs nipping
at his heels. he walked back into his
pen and the game was called off He gave
up very reluctantly and as though ne felt
disgraced. Every one felt relieved when
it was announced he was again incarcer-
ated, as an hours free reign in and

Celery
Compound
Makes People Well.

The one true specific for diseases arising
from debilitated nervous system is Paine's
celery compound, so generally prescribed
by physicians. II is probably the most re-
marks bic remedy that the scientific research
of this country has produced. Prof. Edward
z. Phelps, NJ D., L. L. D., of Dartmouth
college first prescribed what is now known
the world over as Paine's celery compound,
a positive cure for dyspepsia biliousness,
liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism. all
nervous diseases and kidney troubles
Paine's celery compound has succeeded
again and again where everything else has
failed.
