TWICE THE AMOUNT
Friends Have Raised $780,
900 Endowment.
OPEN IN SEPTEMBER
President ROsenberger viii
Be Here in July

Mr.. James Allison, who has charge of
the Friends National university here IN
I'll President Rosenberger arrives, said
yesterday that Mr.. James Davis, the pur-
chaser of the magnificent building. had
given the university. the two dormitories
the campus of fifteen acres and the 500
lots TO the directors. He made them q
trust deed with the understanding that
they were TO raise an endowment Of $50
900. A few days ago the directors met at
Lawrence, Kan, and reported that In
stead of raising an endowment Of $4,000
they had secured twice that amount. This
alone assures the success Of the univer-
sity. School will open in September. and
1t is estimated by those who are in a po-
sition to know that there will be a least
800 students the first year. President
Rosenberger will arrive in the city the
first week in July and assume his duties,
which will be arduous. His time will be
taken up largely in securing a faculty
and arranging the curriculum.
Lawrence has heretofore been the CEN
ter for the Friends of Kansas and the
western part of Missouri, and the east
ern part of Nebraska, but now that they
have determined upon this city for their
principal seat of learning it will unques-
tionably become the center for their
yearly and quarterly meetings, which
usually attract several thousand people
here for from ten days to two weeks.
Wichita IS admirably situated for a CEN
ter, being in close proximity to Oklahoma
and southwestern Kansas. Oklahoma has
any number Of Friends, and they will
come here to the meeting because it is
near home.
Mr.. Allison said yesterday that since
the university had come under the con-
troll of the Friends there was not a va
cant house in West Wichita and that
property had increased in value many
fold, in some instances as much as 400
or 500 per cent.
The university has twenty-one rooms
ready for occupancy. while there are six
ty-fve which can be used as the needs
require. The building is being put in
good order and by the beginning of school
will be in readiness for those who viii be
here to take the course.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
wichita BOttIing Works Hit Last
Night

Last evening during the storm, lightning
struck the Wichita Bottling Works on the
corner of First and Waco and did. con-
siderable damage The heavy rain which
accompanied the electrical storm kept the
fire from getting under Roadway. The
lightning struck the chimney and cavorted
around the inside, tearing off plastering
and otherwise doing harm.
About the same time lightning struck
one of the electric wires of the street
car company at the junction of Douglas
and Lawrence avenues. The Topeka are
nue. car had just passed. A ball of fire
seemed to be hung to the wire about
foot in diameter. 1t lit up the whole
street for two blocks and caused all there
abouts to hurry to the scene. 1t did not
last long, however.

SET THE LACE ON FIRE
Lightning Gets Into the Boston
store.

In the storm last night lightning struck
the old lead wire from the street car troll
ley by which the Boston Store was once
lit with $50 electric lights. The electricity
travelled along the wire in the store like
a fire wheel and where the wire crossed
another on a post in the lace department,
the lead wire was burned in two with a
great blaze which set the goods on fire.
Heavy damage would have resulted if the
employees had been gone.

occurred long time ago. Originally
Carthaginian they became Roman, in the

Catalogued as the second Punic war. Sub
scquently tho Nandals passed that way,

A Drunken rIan.

An attempt was made to break into the
house of B. Fischer. No. 1870 Shipley St,
about half past eleven o'clock last night.
On being questioned by Mr.. Fischer who
came to the window the man said he
wished some information and thIe alened
to assault Mr.. Il. if he would come down
to the door. As an officer was passing n
few doors above, Mr. +. hailed him and
informed him that man had tried TO
break into his house. The man by that
time bad gone to the corner where he re.
manned. The officer after interviewing
him told Mr.. +. he was u soldier, and un-
dor the influence of liquor Mr. f. asked
that hO should be arrested but the officer
declined to comply with his request apu
allowed the man to depart. Mr. +. feels
rather indignant and threatens to call the
Rttent,on of Chief Dolan to the matter.

No student of politics who has carefully

for her to depart from monarohical institu.

present dynasty be oyerthrown? Why
should the wise and devoted queen regent
DO driven out on account Of national mis-
fortunes, for which neither sho nor her son
Is in any way responsiblc' The most
priceless possession Of Spain today is Marin
Christina, because she alone bars the door

MR. QCKEY
EXPLAINS.
Says He Was Not Author
LIKED to Collect County
Tax or Show Bonds.

Ex-tax collector John T. Dlckey. whose
collections j. S. RossellJ H. Dandy say are
incomplete, suggests that the Levy Court
CLOSE the books for the years 1895 and 1875
Is was done by resolution III 1871 1872
1888 and 1894.
Mr.. Dickey saws that while there is con-
siderable in unpaid taxes In the county he
believes that nearly all Of 1t can 10 collee-
ted In time. He has nothing TO do Win
that part Of the collecting, as 1t is entire
Nv In the han DIS Of the county collectors.
All he has to do is TO see that the taxes IN
The city are collected. and he Is doing that
right along. Tho eX receiver said that IT
must be remembered that the past lew
SeAss have witnessed very hard times. ln
many instances all q pian had was the
house In which no lived. and 1t would DO
cruei for collector to order it sold to re-
cover the amount Of the taxes due upon
1t.
Mr.. Dlckey says that no only knows
about the condition of uncolected taxes
In Wilmington, as the county collectors
make their returns to the comptroller and
hand In their collections to the county
treasuror. For the year 1895 the total
amelnt Of taxes to be collected In the city
OF Wilmington was s5S, f3S "a.

makes $53, $50 06, thus leaving 81, 7S2. Us in

lie, 40. There was in that year 81. 3i9 ex-
tinguishel poll taxes, thus leaving bal
hnoe of $3S, 767. 49, OF this about $4,000
had been collected leaving q balances of
about t3, 900 in unpaid taxes, which Mr..
Dickey says is quite small for an error list,
He Is collecting taxes each day, and under
q recent law he has entered fifty or more
b. suits in magistrates courts to recover the
taxes He has secured Judgment by these
suits. and it Is entered up against the
property In the parliamentary 8 Office.
71a relation to the bonds which tho audi
tors said were shown to them, Mr. Dlckey
4 taid that he-has the bonds Of al tbs county
sollectors locked In his safe. lie felt that
The auditors had no right to $50 the bonds
As they are not the persons to see them.
ALI they have to do is to audit thu ac-
counts. Should the Levy Court desire to

Is tho only ono that has Alright to examine
