TEA.LR MADE A BIG HIT.
HE CouIdn't Understand Why an
Audience Laughed at His
Love Song

The tenor Of local concert company
made the hit of his life recently. 1t was
at an entertainment in town within
100 miles of Chicago, and 1T IS safe to
say that the tenor's voice will never be
heard in that place again, says the In
ter Ocean.
He is tall and angular, built rather on
the fence-rail plan of architecture, and
is, withal rather excessively di2ni1ied.
On this occasion he had been intrusted
with the duty of ''opening the BALI
with a comic solo. Although comedy is
not exactly the tenor's strongest hold,
he found this time before he had fairly
commenced that he had the large audi
ence with him, and he sailed in and did
his best.
From start to finish he was greeted
with applause-and at the end Of the
verse there was such a storm Of laugh
ter, hand-clapping and even cheers
that the singer felt obliged to respond
to the encore.
AS soon as he could make himself
heard he essayed a love song, but be-
fore he had sung ten words the laughter
broke out afresh. In vain he threw his
soul into the tender words. 1t was no
go, and the hilarity of the audience in
creased until at the close Of the first
verse he rushed bewildered and furious
from the stage, amid an uproar CT eater
than before.
Behind the scenes he found the other
members of the company speeches.
with laughter, and it was several min
utes before they were able to elCcidate
the cause. The tenor, before leaving
his hotel, had pinned up the tails Of his
Gcess coat to keep them from showing
below the bottom of his short summer
cverccat, and upon arriving at the hall
he had forgotten 10 unpin them. The
spectacle of the coattails pointing sky
ward was too much for the ris.b:litics
of the audience, and the tenor could not
be induced to sing again that night.

tried in the district COURT yesterday, was
continued until two weeks from yester-
day, which was agreeable to all parties
concerned, although City Attorney Helm
was quite anxious to proceed with the
case when it was first called. Kos Har-
ris, attorney for the street car company,
demanded the reply to their answer,
which Mr.. Helms had not preparation the
reason that he did not think it neces-
sary. When he found that the defend
ant demanded the reply he said he would
agree to the continuance and prepare the
reply in time for the next trial About
seventy-five witnesses had been subpoe-
naed in the case, and each side is making
preparations for a hard fight. Mayor
Ross. it is understood, was out over the
line the other day with a photographer
taking pictures OF some Of the line which,
it is said, will be exhibited in court in
order to show the miserable condition Of
the property. At the same time Mr.
Church, local manager, was inspecting
the line with some electricians and other
interested parties, and it is thought he
is also securing evidence with which to
go into court

lodge meeting which has its first session
here this afternoon. The delegates will

sion of the Encampment last night in the

there will be from 1900 to 1000 visiting
Odd Fellows here. One of the important
questions TO come up will be whether the
Odd Fellows of Kansas will have home
and where it win be located. Wichita,
Topeka and Mcpherson are candidates.
An offer of the Campbell residence in

and the delegates or members of the

BOTH HAVE GUNS
FATHER AND SON-IN-
LAW
Tragedy May Result From Runaway
at Mount Hope.

A youthful runaway took place at
Mount Hope Sunday night which excited
the whole neighborhood and set the Cos
sips TO work on lively theme. The
girls father and husband are carrying
guns. Bert Fleming was hired man who
worked for ]. w. Jordan on the farm.
He fell in love with Mr. Jordans daugh-
ter, Elsie, who is only IA years old, and
did not know any better than to love
back. The parents of the child saw that
things were being carried too far towards
the matrimonial goal and they fired the
young man. This added a little fuel to
the fame Of love, and it is said that
clandenstine meetings were arranged.
Sunday night Fleming and little Miss
Jordan pretended to start for church at
Mount Hope, but they didn't go. They
ran away. When the daughter did Tot
return at the proper hour, Mr.. Jordan
became alarmed and raised the neighbor-
hood. The police officers here were noti-
fed to be on the lookout for the couple
and Probate Judge Haymaker was wired
to refuse them a marriage license should
they call at his court They did not come
this way.
The couple was located fourteen miles
in the country from Halstead last night.
Mr.. Jordan was telephoned to this eff
feet. The message also stated that the
couple were married and that the bride
groom had revolver with which to pro-
tect himself and his young bride. Mr..
Jordan took gun and started for Hal
stead last night and will try to over
take the runaways Immediately. It is
very likely If the message to Mr.. Jordan
is true, that there will be some trouble
Mhhen he meets his son-in-law.

NEW COPS ON WHEELS
Chief of Police Cubbon Has
Ordered a Mounted Corps.
PATROL RESIDENT STREETS
Will Ride Bicycles and Wear
Big Guns.

Chief of Police Cubbon seems to be en-
deavoring very earnestly to improve the
police department of the city and make
it well night perfect in every branch OF
police duty. Yesterday he concluded to
put corps of mounted police to patrol
the resident section Of the city. These
policemen will ride bicycles and will be
well drilled in the methods of chasing the
willy burglar and shooting direct from his
wheel without dismounting to take aim.
They viii cover all of the principal resi-
dent streets and will be given orders to
arrest all suspicious-looking characters,
and especially skulkers whom they see in
the alleys or about peoples homes with
out ready explanation. This decision
was reached yesterday after reports of
two burglaries had come to the police
department. The city is on the eve of
the great week Of street fair festivities,
when numerous questionable characters
will visit the city and great many peo-
pie will want to leave their homes and
come down to the festivities. While
the mounted patrol will not be instituted
especially for street fair week, it Is de-
sired to have them in nice working order
for the street fair and take all pre-
cautions against all kinds of crime.
The order of the new chief is said to
have been warmly commended last night
by the councilmen and others interested
nj the city's welfare. Wichita already
had the reputation of having the gest po-
lice force of any city in the state, con-
sdering the number OF men on duty, but
there has always been some lack Of po-
lice protection for the resident portion,
especially in busy times.
The business portion Of the city will be
thoroughly policed during street fair
week, and several extra policemen will
be employed. The booths will all have to
be guarded day and night by relays OF
extras, and Chief Cubbon will begin to
look for good men today for the pur-
pose. The we'll known detectives and
regular policemen of the force will clean
the city of all suspicious looking indi-
viduals by the latter part of the week
and noted pick-pockets and confidence
men will be locked up on sight.

THEY NEED CARRIAGES
Wichita People Asked to Furnish 800
Rigs

Every citizen in Wichita who has a car
riage than can possibly be spared should
place it at the disposal of the local Odd
Fellows to take members of the grand
lodge to the property that is to be used
as Odd Fellows Home provided that in
stitution is located here.
Every member of the Grand lodge will
wish that he should see the property be
fore he votes to tax himself for it. It
will take 300 carriages to pun the dele
gates over there They will be shown
the parks, the Masonic Home, etc. Every
public spirited citizen of Wichita should
leave word with w. A. Ayers, North
Main, or J. NJ. Bridenstine, at the Bos-
ton store, that he will furnish a carriage.
