Reese & Son have received the follow
ing letter from the Phoenix Fire Assur-
ance company of London, the first and
only one of their eight fire insurance
companies that Webb McNal has sue
ceeded in driving out of the estate:
"Gentlemen-After full deliberation we
have concluded not to apply to the in
surance department Of your state for a
renewal of our license to do business
therein, and you are hereby instructed.
therefore, not to write any more business
in our company. We take this action
with great regret, because of the parting
which it involves from many dear
friends and business associates OF long
standing, but our income from Kansas
is not Of sufficient importance to make it
seem desirable to remain in the field un-
der your onerous laws and regulations
affecting insurance companies.
Expressing the hope that more favor
able conditions may soon render agree
able a establishment Of connections
which, almost without exception, have
been most pleasant, and thanking you
for the many courtesies and services
rendered, remain, with compliments OF
the season, yours truly,

NEARLY CUT HIS FOOT OFF
j. Wheeler While Chopping Wood Meets
With an Accident.

Yesterday morning ]. Wheeler, who
1rves on Texas avenue next to the West
Side fire house, nearly severed his left
foo: w.lile chopping wood in Riverside
park. He was brought over TO town in
a delivery wagon which happened TO be
passing and taken 10 DR.. st. Johns Of
fee, where the wound was dressed. The
county commissioners would not agree
70 let him be taken to the hospital al the
county's expense, and as he has no mon
ey his case was a serious one. He has a
wife and three children, and although he
takes his meals with his family. he and
his wife do not live together. When the
conditions were explained TO his wife she
agreed to let him occupy room in the
second story. She said that the room
had no fire and was hardly fit for a sick
man. Wheeler himself was quite cranky
about everything that was done for him.
He requested that he be supplied with
a pair OF crutches and Officer Healey got
them for him. He then refused to take
hem. Last night about O'Clock he was
taken to the residence Of mis- wife on the
West Side il the patrol wagon.

son arrested DR.. L. G.. Ramaley, who has
charge of or is proprietor Of the Chicago

A Favorite CaIednar.

With the approach OF a new year most
people discover the need OF new calen-
dar. This fact accounts for the grea:
number Of these articles that burden the
mails al this time. Among them all the
one which suits US best is that published
by n. W. Aver & Son, Newspaper and
Magazine Advertising Agents, Philadel-
phia- The 1898 edition has just arrived
and been put in commission Perhaps
its chief attraction is that the figures are
clear enough IL be read across a room.
II is, however, a most handsome speci-
men of the printers art, while its busi-
ness talk always interests business men.
We are not surprised 20 learn that the
edition has been doubled in recent years
It's price (25 cents includes delivery by
mail to any address in perfect condition.
Nobody gets as much and as profitable
free advertising as prize tghter.-Atchi-

! at is possible" said prominent; dry
goods man yesterday, that the next fai,
| in Wichita may De held in Griswold
! park There is an effort and desire on
the part Of a great many who are in
terested in the fair and in Wichita VIVA
are in favor OF bringing the fair TO some
| place nearer the city.
ITO hold a fair next year there must
be Improvements built. The lease on the
/ old ground is only for a period OF two
/ years. Nobody really wants to go 60 the
old grounds and hundreds who went last
fall Won't go there any more. That is
| simply a condition that becomes plainly
apparent by talking 10 people on the
Streets. There is much interest already
| in the matter Of holding a fair mere next
/ year. 1t is 70 be part OF year Of great
gatherings for Wichita. The Transmits
/ sppi congress is coming, the Gulf rate
convention VIII probably be here, the
grand lodges of the Masons and Work
men Will oe held here. No less than a
dozen conventions Of state. interstate
These are coming as the impetus of that
| movement which will in the next few
years make Wichita the first convention
town in the state. The fair win be the
strongest factor concerned in the move
ment, it being permanent. People Will
come TO other meetings here largely as
the reputation of the fair warrants.
In other words, the attendance upon
conventions Of merely a local or state
significance will depend largely upon the
satisfaction which the fair gives.
IF left 10 popular vote. the majority
for holding the fair close TO the city
would reach a nine-tenths portion The
county owns Griswold park. \ great
many counties furnish fair grounds.
Grlsgoid can be leased for a term Of
ter years at nominal expense, and
such a contract would warrant the con-
structiol Of permanent and suitable i'm
provemen;s, such as will be an uncertain
investment upon the old grounds. The
lease upon the old grounds can be dis
posed of at a much better figure than
will follow in loss IL the fair is finally

She soon created a disturbance there,
even going SO far as to threaten Mrs.
