The purpose of the visit was TO obtain
certain facts relative to the amount Of
money received by the board each month
from the various sources of revenue in the
city. The committee on going before the
board was refused permission, point

Dr. Minick said: why, you let the Pop

sion in chorus informed the council COM
mittee that it had no jurisdiction nor had
the council; that the NETS were answer
able TO the Populist governor of the great
state of Kansas. There the investiga ton
ended except that Colonel Jocelyn arose
and made the following remarks to Dr.
Mnick:
This investigation business is not on
the square. You fellows want to take
public attention from some scheme of
your own. and you are attacking the po-
lice commission. You, yourself, Doc Min
lex, are grinding an axe in this deal and
you want to cover up some of your own
deviment.
1--WE are citizens of Wichita and not
robbers. Well let you have these books
Of ours-nit, thousand and twenty-three
times. You can't investigate. Go home
and pull the fence posts out of your own
eye. This police commission work is none
of your business, none of the committees
business and none of the councils bust
ness. What are you going to do about
ft?"
DR.. Minick says he proposes to show the
gentleman what he can do, and before he
has half finished they will not be so CAV
Some other action is to be taken at the
next council meeting.
DR.. Minick and Mr.. Herbig will prepare
written report and submit 1t with rec
concentrations and there will probably be
something of warm time right soon.
Dr. Minick says he is not done by any
means and that the police commission
books will be forthcoming.

NEW AUTOMATIC LIGHT
Operated on Scientific Principles
Now in Use in Several Wichita
Business Houses


The coming of the New Light" marks
illumination in our city. This is indeed
an age of progress. The tireless energy
of man seemingly responsive to the will
of God has now succeeded In producing
a system of artificial lighting, which in
power and brilliancy has relegated all
previous lights to the almost forgotten
past. Crowds of people last evening Wis
tied the Palace Furniture House of ]. A.
Richards, who has adopted the system,
and speaks in the highest terms of the
New Light" which excels gas and
electricity at one-fourth the cost, and
insures greater brilliancy and steadier
fame. No doubt it is destined to be the
light of the future as it is simple, safe,
practical, reliable. durable and economi-
cal, as it is operated entirely on scientific
principles. The New Light" gives the
best possible results at the least expense.
Last evening an Eagle reporter called
at the company's Office and sales-room,
al 133 North Main street, which is beau
tifuly Illuminated by the new automatic
light system. They have just received
large shipment of goods from the factory
and have displayed all the different styles
of brackets, stands and chandeliers. The
new automatic light system IS also in
operation at the Summit" 242 North
Main, and at the Santa Fe lunch room,
on East Douglas avenue where 1t has
been in operation for some time, with
very satisfactory results. MIR. John T.
Figg, general manager, is experimenting
the work Of putting in the system in
Wichita and adjoining towns.

animal had been dehorned but kept strik-
ing Mr.. Brown till he was half buried in
the mud and hurt from the trampling and
striking of the beast, till he could not
get up. Mr.. Browns son came to the
lot but was chased out by the enraged
bull. He went for pitchfork and the
animal set upon Mr.. Brown again.
Young Brown brought a pitchfork and
a regular pitched battle followed before
the bull left the scene.
Mr.. Brown is in bed from his injuries

WAR NEWS.

Gen. Gomez has written Palma. toe
head of the Cuban junta at New YORK,
that If arms and ammunitions are
gwen the Insurgents they will be able
to drive the Spaniards ont of the
island. A cablegram from Dewey writ
ten on the 18th and received the same
day at " ashington would indicate he
has picked up the cable and repaired
1t. He IS engaged in taking steel
hreech loading rifles from the sunken
Spanish men-of war
An engagement took place on We'd

boats and shore batteries and Ameri

son had her boiler shot away and was
drifting helplessly subjected to ter
rlble fire. The Hudson came to her
relief. A line was thrown to the
Wilson and just then Spanish shell
burst on her deck killing an officer and
four others and wounding five more.
A line was finally secured the Winslow
was being towed out of range when
the line parted and both boats were
at the mercy of the Spanish fire. An
other line was secured but at this time
there were only three men aboard the
Winslow able to handle it. The tor.
pedo boat is badly injured.

The yellow journals say the Spanish
forts were blown into the air. There
is no doubt that the forts could have
been entirely destroyed. As it is they
have been rendered ineffective.
1t is reported on poor authority that
the insurgents in the Philippines re-
sent American interference and that
Dewey may find difficulty in dealing
with them. They are loyal to Span
and their war is more against the
priests than Spanish authority. They
are willing to settle their differences
with Spain and assist in driving the
Americans out of the islands.

A QUEER "GROUND."
Discovered by IA Lineman While Re.
pairing Leak.

II Leak.
who ever heard of snake not over
three feet in length grounding a tele-
graph wire and rendering it useless for
two days and as many nightS?" was
the question asked of number of rail
road men by well-known lineman who
has care of the Western Union Tele-
graph company's wires along the line
of one of the greatest trunk systems
in the state of Ohio. 1T was this way:
During the republican national con-
vCntion at St. Louis, in 1896, when every
wire in the country was needed and
taxed to its utmost capacity with bull
letinS from the convention, that one of
the through wires from St. Louis to
Cleveland became grounded on my di-
vision, causing me no end of trouble.
and compelling me to go from pole to
pole for TWO days before locating the
trouble, which, to my astonishment
was caused by a small snake of greenish
color, and about three feet in length.
One end of the snake was lying across
the wire, while the other end was rest
ing against the lightning rod which
is placed on every fifth pole of a tele-
graph line. The snake when taken off
and examined was found to be nearly
burned in two, caused by the strong
current of the telegraph wire and the
direct ground circuit obtained from the
lightning rod. How the snake came in
this position Will always be a mystery
but no doubt it was thrown there after
being killed by some one walking along
the railway track.

cefpt of a Poem.
A Cleveland hardware man, prompt
ed by an article recently on the subject
of collecting poor accounts, writes
agreeing that more is to be accom-
plished by a dunning letter couched in
good-natured language than one
breathing threats in harsh words, and
relates the following, says Hardware.
as an illustration:
1T was our custom to have a new
clerk put in his spare time writing let
tiers to slow customers. A clerks mer-
its we're measured largely by the result
of this work. Up in Michigan we had a
particularly bad case. It was a bill of
S12 against man named William Rose.
1t had become outlawed, and was con-
sidered dead duck, but every once in
awhile we gave it whirl. Finally one
day, the last clerk put on. bright young
fellow. laid the following verses on nv
desk and asked permission to mail
them to Rose:
"Oh, William Rose. oh. fragrant rose,
Yourself II IS who surely knows
Unsettled bills are bad
They soil our books. they spoil our looks
And make the heart grow sad.

And find twelve dollars there

A CURIOUS BET.

Two OF the younger members of q
well-known club. both of whom are so
fond of betting that they are willing
to wager money upon almost anything,
became involved in an argument over
the popularity of mustaches few days
ago, says the Philadelphia Record. One
contended that the wearing of the hir-
suite adornment was on the wane; the
other said that more mustaches are
worn now than ever before. The up
shot of the matter was that the first Of

mustaches Gncluding women. for the
sake of making the test more interest

fore three with mustaches should go
by. The wager was promptly accept
ed, referee was selected and the three
stationed themselves at the point of
vantage to take observations. The first
four TO pass were young women and the
anti man grew jubilant. His
Jaw fell, however, when the next two
pedestrians, with luxurious growths
upon their lips, hove in sight. Then fol-
lowed two more women, and the watch
ers waited eXpectantly. The ninth
passer-by was a young man who was
raising mustache, yet in its infancy.
\ warm argument followed as to the
disposition of this case, but the referee
Sc titled the matter by crediting one-half
to each side, making the score 612 to 211s.
An old woman was approaching in the
distance, and the man who had 2H
points began TO lose hope, but when
she arrived opposite the reviewing stand
il was seen that she had more hair
on her lip than her male predecessor.
The referee decided against the fellow
who had proposed the bet.

Cornell, who killed his two children
at Oconomowoc, Nov. 10 last, was
found guilty to-day. Since the jury
decided with SO much promptness
that Cornell was not insane when the
bntchery was done, it was almost a
foregone conclusion that he would be
sent to Waupun. The case has not
awakened enough interest to draw a
crowd to the courthouse, at any session
and much complaint Is heard that a
trial in the case was necessary, after
Cornell had made a confession prior
to the trial. The cost, IN the case
