BLACK HOUSE TO co

M'LEANS BIG PURCHASE
Gets a Big Plot of Ground on
West Douglas Avenue.

Yesterday Ben Mclean, owner of The
Mclean lumber yards in Wichita, Peck
and other places in southern Kansas,
bought the property on West Douglas
avenue now occupied by the Sweeney
Carriage Works and the Yazel barn and
feed lots. The lots front 13S feet on Doug

40 feet to the alley in the rear. 1t viii

over crowded. On his new lots Mr.. Nc
Lean Will erect office buildings and sheds
for al immense new lumber yard, the
growth OF his present business. The old
buildings VIII be torn down or sold and
removed This means the disturbance Ct
one OF the historic land marks Of Wicn-
tia The big dluble two story building
now standing at 314 West Douglas and
occupied by the Sweeney Carriage Works
was cnce the famous Black Hotel Of early
Wichita, within which and by which
many fortune has changed hands. From
being what was once considered the COM
Portable headquarters for the cattle kings
and traders Of all kinds who operated
through Wichita years ago. the old build
ing has become dingy with the coal smoke
Of a busy shop and its myriad OF lively
scenes haye passed into local tradition.
While the Black House was never arts
tocratic, it was the home of the well-to-
do commencement who made fortunes
in a month and were not discouraged If
they lost in an equally short time. The
most popular and oft quoted traditions
that lived from the Black House is the
story Of dishwasher who wanted TO be
initiated into the mysteries Of successful
roulette and poker playing. He was an
ambitious and sturdy youth Of 20, weigh
ing, the narratOrs say, 195 pounds, and
grew tired OF dabbling in greasy dish
water and soap suds at $500 per week.
His desire became nOised about and
twenty or thirty Of the FOUNDERS and
pIainsmen took him in hand. They
worked on the young man the greater
part of twelve hours and though he
funked seven or eight times he was per
suaded to go on and tackle the final orgie

After enduring torture enough to disqUal-
fly him for any sedentary occupation for
two months, he struggled to his feet de-
spite the efforts Of three men. Grab
bing a gun he took q few shots AZ his
prosecutors and fed. 1t is reportedthat
ne went west and got into a position
worth &, 500 and whether that is true or
not, it is known that he was eternally
cured of his desire for the gaming table.
Mr.. Mclean paid $500 for the prop
erty.

PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.
NntI-SnIoon League 10 Begin n CRnns
paIgn In Oklahoma.

Guthrie, o. r., September Sit 10
not improbable that the temperance
copc Of the territory may follow tho
lend Of Kansas and make an effort
to place Oklahoma In the prohibition
column. Under the auspices of the
Anti-suloon League, II national orgnni-
lntion. clubs are being organized
throughout the territory, whose aim
Is TO arouse u strong temperance
spirit and, probably, ultimately Sc
cure the enactment of a prohibitory
liquor law.
Rev, Mr.. II. Il. Swan, superintendent
If the Anti-snloOn League, Of Okla
homN and Indian Territory, will be in
,hNrge OF the prohibition campaign.
The first gun will be fred at Perkins
IN Wednesday evening, when he will
organize local league, The objects
q the organization are ito federate
the churches, the temperance organi-
cations and the moral forces of the
state, without regard to religious or
political creed. in opposition to the
evils Of the drink traffic, lts meth
DDS are described as "public sentiment
building, creating, concentrating and
,rystaliaing temperance convictions
and marshaling the conscience Of the
state 10 enact and enforce its laws"
II encourages participation in party
primaries and the Creation Of an i'm
dependent temperance vote in all par
ties"
That the temperance workers intend
10 urge forward their work with
greater activity than they have ever
before manifested in Oklahoma is ac-
knowledged. They are not prepared
10 announce that they will ask the en-
lctment of prohibitory law from tho
next legislature, but they do not deny
that they hope for the passage of such
law in time and will agitate the
question in crystallzing public senti-
ment in its favor.
The formerly OF Kansas Inhabitants
Of Oklahoma have had experience in
prohibition wars and will know how
to tackle the question. The part they
have taken in the liquor battles in
Kansas has not, however, made pro-
hibitionists Of all of them, Some Of
them will urge that oklahoma's IL
cense system is superior to the pro-
hibitory law Of Kansas and will en-"
deavor to thwort any efforts the
"coldwater element" may make to
drive out the saloons.
The prohibitionists will endeavor to
secure the cooperation of the press
of the territory and already claim that
two well known editors are almost
persuaded" to advocate their course.

shcr Free Press. and r. j. Palmer, Of
20 Medrord Patriot, Neither Admire
Nor Palmer has spoken for prohibi-
ZION, but each Of these well known
cribes is carrying on campaign

with this question on the basis OF

people believe that the Philippines are
going TO help US, they will never let

"Ths third proposition will be to

"As to the form OF government"
continued Senator Carter, IL should
say that a government ought to be
appointed by the president, with a
council also selected by him. There
might be a Filipino legislature, com.
posed of prominent men from each
OF the islands to discuss questions and

FoRAI<ER's SENSATION.

In his speech on the expansion queSuo"
in the Senate Wednesday, Mr. Foraker
we are told. asserted positively that
tho ACQUISITION OF the Philippines was
Temporary in character, and this an
nouncement created a sensation in the
chamber"
NO wonder the announcement created n
sensation. as IT discredited both the acts
and the utterances Of the administration
I'm respect Of the Philippines issue. IT,
however. Mr.. Foraker spoke by the card
the President could greatly simplify mat
ters by endorsing the statement. Such
endorsement would disarm many of the
most vigorous opponents Of the ratiica-
ton of the treaty Mr.. McKinley's com
missoncrs made with Spain.
And yet should the President endorse
the statement, we fear that he would
find himself embarrassed by call Tor
explanation. Some one might want TO
know how he can reconcile the tempo
rary acquisition" policy with his flag ut
terances and his advocacy of standing
army of 10000 men. If we are to hold the
Philippines only temporarily, what will be
the necessity for such a big military es-
adjustment Can il be that the Philip
pines are merely being used to fasten
milltarsm on this country and that Mr.
Foraker has let the cat out of the bag
prematurely?
