WICHITA GETS ONE
OF the Big Spanish Cannon
Captured in Cuba
MAYOR ROSS WRITES
Secretary of War to Send the
Gun at Once,
ROSS WRITES

Some weeks ago the governors Of the
! states were notified that the Spanish
cannon captured in Cuba and other
places In the late war with Spain would
| be distributed to the different states in
a proportion estimated by the war OH
Gals to be as nearly just as possible.
| Kansas was to get two, and week after
Governor Stanley had been notified Of
the matter nearly twenty towns in the
state asked for one of them. Wichita
asked for one a number OF times through
good many people. Wichita Is to get
one Of the guns, as the following letter
to Mayor Ross will show:
Governors Office, Topeka, Kan.
Hon. Finlay Ross. Mayor, Wichita.
Dear Sir-I have designated Wichita
as place for the location Of one of the
captured Spanish cannon set apart to
Kansas by the government. ! have today
notified Hon. Elihu Root, secretary OF
war, to this effect, and that you, as
mayor, would take up correspondence
with him on the subject, relative to the
shipment and payment OF freight. trust
you will correspond at once with the
secretary Of war as to the necessary ar
rangements. l trust also that this can
non may long remain and be Of interest
in your beautiful park. Very truly yours,
"W. E. STANLEY"
Mayor Ross at once wrote the secre-
tary Of war and asked that the cannon
be shipped at once. Every effort will be
made to have the gun here and on ex-
hibit during the street fair. 1t was stat
ed in the first letters from the secretary
of war that the towns receiving the
cannon would have to pay the expense
Of transporting them. Wichita will be
glad to pay the freight to get the gun
here for the street fair, after which it
will be placed in the park somewhere,
probably near the big American guns out
there now in the @. A r. pavilion.

}. O. Redfleld Explains why Grass
Dies.

10 the EQlVOT OIL the EaBlos
Some of the lawn grass in the north
part Of the city is dying in spite of the
best attention that can, be given it. 1t
seems that no one can account for the
death of the grass.-Sunday's Eagle.
May not too much hydrant water and
too close cutting be the principal trou-
BILE? I have blue grass that for the last
four years has not had a sprinkle Of
water except that from the heavens. In
my manner of treatment lawn would
not present as beautiful an appearance
as close cut lawns In spring and early
summer. but have grass all the time,
spreading and growing thicker each year,
to the exclusion of crab and other wild
grasses. Give nature half a chance and
you may be able to carry a blue grass
smile the entire season.
