STEALING RAILROAD AND BANK

Says sin Killer Griffin.

Sin Killer Griffin had a big crowd at
the tent on North Main street last night.
There were probably a thousand people
IN the tent and around It. and II there
hadn't been so much water the number
would have been doubled. People stood
around as far as the services could he
heard Rev Griffin doesn't sermonize.
He sets little store by artihcially con-
structed loSic and the gaudy colors of
rhetoric In his talk last night he said:
God Amt q looking at your library

give his power to blgoted preachers.
What's books without power? High col

chickens and here you steal railroads and

FOR THE KANSAS BOYS
Christian EndeavOr Societies Send
a Contribution.

The Local Christian Endeavor Union
had a very interesting business meeting
Monday evening. The societies represent
ed were: First Presbyterian, Central
Christian, Dodge Avenue Presbyterian,
Oak Street Presbyterian, United Presby-
terrain, Paramount Congregational, c. E..
Presbyterian and the Plymouth Congrega-
tional. The Central Presbyterian reported
a Hit and Miss" social which had been
given by the society the past month which
was very successful.
\ junior g. z. society has been started
by the Senior society Of the Central Chris
tan church an the Fairmount Congregat-
tional c. Z. s Patriotic social which had
been given last Wednesday Melted Sl3,
which was sent TO the hospital at Chicka-
manga 10 be used for the Kansas boys.
Rev. A. Z. Dubber's address on Our As
sociate Members" was very helpful, show
ing as it did the need of associate men,
bers and how they can be developed into
active members.
The paper on How to Develop Efficient
Committees" by Rev. H. E. Theyer, was
very interesting. Mr.. Thayer showed the
danger of having too many committees
and the necessity Of having only the COM
mittees which are needed by the partic-
ular society.
The next business meeting OF the IN
ion will be held Monday evening, Sep
TENDER 3, in the Plymouth Congregational
church.

FURTHER TIME
Was the Sentiment Expressed
Last Night at
MEETING OF CITIZENS
For Building Street Railway
Under New Franchise,

meeting Of citizens was held in the
Office of Reese & Co. last night to dis
cuss the street railway situation. Church
& Co, who have the new franchise, have
been given until next Monday night to
deposit q money guarantee that the road
will be built. The general expression al
last nights meeting was of a friendly
Character toward the Church people, but
Some were of the opinion that no further
extension should be allowed. 1t has now
been a year since the franchise was given
and more than two months since the time
~ pired in which the new road was ID be
completed. No doubt has been expressed
by any that Mr.. Church has been con-
scientious and has made a strenuous ef-
fort TO get the matter in shape and pue
the road into operation. On account Of
the war and other matters the council has
been lenient.
Last week a representative of Hirsch &
Co., bond syndicate of Wall street, New
York, was sent out here to inspect the
road, the city and its business prospects.
He went back after two days here and
reported in writing that the city is pros
u
street railway will pay liberal return
upon the money invested in its construc-
ton. In short the report. according to
the statement of Mr.. Matthews before he
left here, was favorable as any business
house could want if such a house de-
pend upon the word Of its authorized
representative. Hirsch & Co. have money
to carry the bonds Of the new company
as soon as such report is made.
The business men who participated in
the discussion last night were unanimous
IN the wish that the Church people Will
be able to put up the guarantee and 30
ahead with the road and with the hight
ing contract. But if they cannot then a
business situation Of rather implicated
parts confronts the citizens OF Wichita.
There are three gentlemen after Church
& Co. who want to put in a street rail-
way. They want also the lighting fran
chise. Wichita is now out of contract
with any company for lights. the Fights
being run by per month agreement. So
far as they have submitted their p-oro-
sitions none of the gentlemen have made
terms which the city council feel war
ranted in accepting.
Public sentiment and the sentiment of
the council and some expressed senti-
ment at last nights meeting would seem
to indicate that there is not the sNghtest
probability Of ever coming to an agree
ment with the st. Louis concern upon
the proposition submitted by its head and
representative, who was here some days
ago and who now does the bulk Of the
lighting by gas and electricity that is done
in Wichita.
The situation next Monday night IL the
Church people cannot make the guaran-
tee will he to take up new men. wait for
municipal ownership or give the Church
people another extension, or organize
company with local capital to bul1 he

FAKIRS LEAVE TOWN HUI RRlEOLY
Advertising Stamp Man Has Gone, no
One Knows where

Several months ago two young men
came to Wichita. They had oily tongues
were we'll dressed, and called on a great
number of the merchants of the city and
submitted to them the wonderful advau-
tages of the trading stamp" The Eagle
exposed the fake at the time. and predict
ed that when the prizes were TO be given
away the two would disappear just before
that time The prediction has come TO
pass. First one left; now the other has
gone Where. no one knows. Some Of
the merchants took up with the PROPOSE
ton and quite number Of customers re
ceived stamps. They have them still and
will continue TO keep them. as far as the
stamp men are concerned.
1t is said that a number Of people would
like to know OF their wherea bouts. They
may have gone to the Omaha exposition
to enjoy the revenue from their stamps.
Their graft was not so strong as it would
have been had not the Eagle forestslied
the scheme. but unfortunately It was TOO
much, even II they only got one cent.
