Notwithstanding the fact that the
cement sidewalk ordinance was de-
feated by the city council last week,
il is probable that great deal Of
cement walk will be laid in yelling

Councilman L. ]. French, one Of the
advocates Of the cement sidewalk
ordinance, was in Wichita las. week
and made arrangements with cement
walk contractor for laying $50 feet OF
cement walk in front OF his new resi-
dence on South Washington avenue.
The walk will be built at the Wichita

A CHASTITY FIND.
Skeleton of Woman's Hand and Arm
Found Under q House.

Found Under q House.
The skeleton Of a w0man'S hand and
arm was found Friday under the
house occupied by Mrs. K. Miller and
family on South Jefferson avenue,
opposite the Showalter place. The
skeleton was in cedar box about Is
inches long, 6 inches wide and inches
deep. 1t was found by Miss Erma
Miller, who had crawled under the
house after eggs. The wooden por-
tion of the box was in good state Uf
preservation, but the glass top was
broken aud the galvanized iron sides
had rusted and almost crumbled
away. The glass bottom wds un.
broken.
The bones were moulded, but had
not decayed mucn. 1t is evident
from the size and shape OF the bones,
that they were once woman's haud
and arm.
The house where Mrs. Miller lives
was used as county poor house in
1878, and a woman known as Jennie"
was an inmate. She was known as
Empty Sleeve" An old resident re-
called that morning that "Jennie's"
arm was amputated at the elbow
about twenty years ago TO save her
life. The skeleton found Friday
was undoubtedly the remains OF her
arm. 1t had rested under the house,
unmOlested, for twenty wears.

FIRE AT HUNNEWELL.
The Border Town Almost Consumed
by Fire Friday Night.

The town OF Hunnewell was prac-
ticalIy destroyed by fire Friday night

tiOn was wiped out, including Nc

store.
The fire started at midaight, either
in Meningitis hardware store or
Walls furriture store. It's origin is a
mystery. The town has no fire de.
partment, and was practically at the
mercy Of the flames. The citizens
worked like heroes to stay the prog
ress of the flames, but all to no avail.
The fire burned itself out.
The buildings were all frame struc-
lures.
Mcknight saved several thousand
dollars worth of goods. Others sue
ceeded in saving portions Of their
stock.

block, on the south side of the main

WORKS WON OUT
Victorious Over Upper Works in
the Baseball Game.
MAYOR MADDEN'S WOES
He Quit the Game In Disgust-Twelve to
Eighteen the Score-Rain Caused
the Game to Be Played
In Sections.

Mayor Madden was a sad man last
evening. This was not because there
was anything wrong going on with
the city affairs, but because his favor
lite baseball team-the pride of his life
and the JOY of the upper works en-
ployes--was beaten in yesterday after
moons game by score of 1S to IL.
The lower works boys are happy, and
they have a right to be, for their vic
tory was gained over club of good
ball players.
The result was great surprise to the
several hundred enthusiasts who were
present at Mountain View park
Everywhere it had been predicted that
the upper works would be represented
by strong team, and the predictions
were correct-but there was one thing
| that was not thought of and that was
the strength of the lower works play
ers.
The latter team played a steady game
and there was plenty of ginger in their
work. When the upper works team
made three runs in the first inning,
! they did not get discouraged, but went
| at Van Ellis hard in the fourth inning
| the lead. The upper works team re-
gained the lead in the fifth inning by
scoring two runs. The lower works
players put ginger in their batting and
base running in their half of the fifth
inning and scored five runs.
The game was never in doubt after
this and the lower works heavy batting
in that inning cinched the game for
them.
Although the playing was good, the
game was far from being errorless An
instance of poor fielding on the part of
the upper works was in the sixth in
ming. Sullivan got his base on balls
and Emerson tried to catch him nap
ping on first. Doc threw the ball wild
ly, Van Ellis muffed it, and while the
players were looking for the ball Sull-
van made his run. Lynch got mad in
the sixth inning because the first base
man had muffed the ball, and when the
hide was returned into the diamond
Lynch threw 1t across the railroad
track. Two runs were made as re-
suit of this affair.
The game was interrupted in the sec
ond inning by a heavy rain and thun-
der storm and 1t was As minutes before
play could be resumed. When the
players finally got ready to go on with
the game, it was found that Norbeck
and Storey had left for home. This
ers.
A feature of the game was Sullivan's
home run in the fourth inning. 1t was
long drive to the left field and the
applause Sullivan received was wen de-
served. EMS
3 Mayor Madden left the grounds after
the fifth inning, totally disguised with
the turn affairs had taken, but then he
will again be on hand next Sunday
and root his players on to victory.
Mr. Boylan was absent from the
game and Tom Collins acted as mana
ger for the team from the lower
works.
Messrs. Dwyer and McHugh acted
as umpires and j. A. Risken was the
official scorer.
1t is expected that a series of games
will be played between the two teams,
the next game to take place at Ana
conda Lake park.
The score of yesterdays game fol-,

Charles r. Driscoll Challenges W.

A joint debate on Ingersoh, to take
place in the county jail. between William
s. Montgomery. lay preacher, and Charles
F. Driscoll, prisoner, is what the latter
proposes Mr.. Driscoll has challenged
Mr.. Montgomery to joint debate on the
subject As he Is unfortunately detained
by the ediet of the court in the county
prison, Mr. Driscoll is obliged to stipulate
that the debate take place within the
walls of that building if the authorities
will permit. Mr.. Montgomery has not yet
accepted the challenge.
Yesterday Mr.. Montgomery, as is his
custom accompanied the Salvation Army
to the jail and preached to the prisoners.
On week days Mr.. Montgomery is a bar
ber and Sheriff Conley says he is good
citizen. In the course of his remarks Mr.
Montgomery referred to the passing of
Robert G. Ingersoll and said the body of
the great agnostic was buried as one
would bury a dog. Mr.. DriscoH took ex-
ing forwarded the following letter to the
preacher:

AFTER THE WASHEE MAN.
Movement ON Foot Directed Against
Chinese Laundries.

Movement ON Foot Directed Against
Chinese Laundries
There Is a war on in Anaconda. 1t is
no. a war where thousands of lives are in
danger. but one where the Chinese who
do washing In the city are threatened with
loss Of their trade
The movement now on hand Is to keep
people from giving their washing to the
Chinese Those at the head of the move
ment are not leaders of labor unions in
the city, but are prominent business men.
They give several reasons for their ac-
ton. They claim that the money paid to
Cinnamon Is money lost, for they say
that it will not return to circulation, but
will be put away until large sum Is
amassed and then the owner will leave
town never to return.
The Cinnamon some years ago were run
out of Anaconda. but they are coming
back again and it is asserted they are
getting more than their share of the work
1t is claimed that more than 200 families
are now patronizing the Chinese, and this
means more than $500 weekly which is
paid to them.
The business men have for the past
week been hot on the trail of those who
patronize Cinnamon, and already more
than rs families have promised to give
their washing to the union laundries.
The proprietor of a laundry was seen
last evening in regard to the matter.
Said he:
1T is nearly impossible for us to pay
union wages, 1t costs us nearly $500
week to run our establishment and all Of
our people get good money. This money
goes out into circulation and is spent
freely, and If we had the trade which is
nov given to the Cinnamon we would
employ more people and would pay out
more money every week in wages. A
business man told me that they would put
a stop to this Chinese trade business. and
l hope they will. not only for myself, but
for them also. for the more money we'll
get. the more money they'll get"
