ON A BIG LOCAL BAND
Jesse Simon Tells Wherein Lies a
Lack of Band Music

To the Editor of the Eagle: During the
Wichita's lack in the direction of bands,
concerning which I submit the following:
Camans band deserves credit; it is par
excellence. Mr.. Canaan is q musician OF
taste and director of ability.
Wichita's lack in this direction is not
on account of a want in any of these
qualities, but is purely for business rea-
sons. We have here many men-teachers,
composers, professional musicians of life
long experience and ability, inferior to
none-and many amateurs who follow
various pursuits, not musical, for a i've
lihood, but who are capable and expert
enced musicians. There has been a band
organization in this city for years. 1t is
at present under the leadership of Prof.
w. \. Sanford, a man who thoroughly
understands his business and a director
who, in very short time, can bring his
band up to the level of any in Kansas.
Why is it not done In Wichita this
has been done more than once, but always
at loss to the band men. hence there is
little interest taken. Band men know that
fine band would not pay.
In Wichita people want a band of ten
they have no money TO pay for more-and
musicians 10 whom band business has be-
come old, want money and not glory for
their services. Most bands, after building
up at cost of time. labor and money, re-
ce.ve praise in return and are satisfied,
but a band in Wichita. being composed
largely OF professional men, viii nave to
make money or fail.
Wichita music committees in their en-
deavors to secure music cheap, get bands
here whose playing is little, if any, i'm
provement on the music dscoursed nightly
to our fastidious citizens by the Salvation
Army. This was notably the case at the
soldiers reunion last year.
Take notice, Please. those who think
band men here direlict. There should
he not less than twenty pieces 10 form
only far Instrumentation. What say
You Of ten. no matter how able they be-?
This is the secret OF the citys reputa-
ton for band music.
And when We hear sweet strains arising
from the pageant in the thorOughfares Of
the Peerless Princess" and there be no
Wichita hand there. please remember that
il Is much glory Iittlemoney. And when
We see a Wichita band on the street with
ten men. remember that some one Is pay
Ing q small price, and place the b.ame. not
on the musicians, but OF the men Who
want noise and don't care for the music.
Let Wichita people give all their band
work 70 Wichita musicians at a fair price,
usug a band Of not less than Jwensy-four
men. and W-ichlta musicians viii stye you
nl,.s.c ucexcelled by any local o-ganiza-
ton anywhere. Very respectfully.

OVER ONE THOUSAND
Delegates Expected to Attend
Transmississippi Congress.
MARX HANNA WRITES
Wants Congress to Discuss
Merchant Marine.

Secretary Mcknight received yesterday
notification OF the appointment Of nearly
200 more delegates to the Trans-M issis-
sippi congress. Big lists are coming in by
evey mail, and 1t now appears that there
will be at least a thousand delegates in
attendance. Already letters have come
from all over the continent asking for
hotel accommodations. An effort is being
made now to get one or more bands for
the occasion, to pay in the park and on
the streets at the time. In all probability
there will be one-way, or half rate fare.
good for ten days, although the club has
not been able to secure this reduction yet.
Mark Hanna is interested. He has writ
ten Governor Stanley the following letter:
My Dear Sir:-I understand there is TO
be session of the Trans Mississippi con-
gress in Wichita, beginning on May 81,
and that you appoint as delegates 10 that
session ten itizens of your state. You will
find that among the Pacific coast and the
Gulf states particularly and in a number
of the interior states, a strong and grow
ing desire to see American ships replace
the foreign ships engaged in carrying our
imports and exports, and to which the peo-
pie of this country are paying 200,O0O00O
every year, every dollar of which goes to
enrich foreigners at our expense. This is
by no means a political, and least of all
partisan, question. 1t is a wholly indus
trial question-just as much so as the i'm
prOvement of our rivers and harbors-and
an industrial and commercial subject. If
you should entertain these views, may I
ask you to express yourself to the dele
gates that you may appoint, or may have
appointed, to attend the Trans-Mississippi
congress. IF that congress would take up
and deal with that subject in a broad ma
tional and friendly way they would be
most materially advancing the welfare of
the whole nation, their own section quite
as much as those right on the seaboard. I
shall be glad to receive your views on this
subject; also to learn what you have been
able to do. Truly yours,
IN. A HANNA"
Governor Stanley is in hearty accord
with the suggestion and wrote Senator
Hanna today, saying it is too late to ad-
dress his views to the Kansans, their ap-
pointments having been made, but that he
would bing the matter before the con-
gress.

THEY WENT AWAY
Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Edwards
of North Market
LATE OF ST. LOUIS ART co.
Take the Company's Assets
and Leave Their Husbands.
ATE OF ST. LOUIS ART CO.

About two weeks ago two couples men
with their wives, came to Wichita, say
ing they were from St Louis. They pre-
tended to be engaged in art work and all
engaged rooms in the scond block on
North Market, near Fire House No l..
The men went about their work and the
women spent part of their time on the
art plans at the house and the balance on
their wheels. They became familiar fig
ures on the streets riding UP and down
Main and Douglas. They gave the names
of Mr.. and Mrs ]. L. Moore and Mr. and
Mrs. A. E. Edwards. Of the st. Louis
Art company.
The women evidently became tired OF
the plain life of a small city, so Sunday
they packed their trunks ard the art
works and combined finances of the entire
firm and went away. They took their
supper IN a Main street RESTRAINT Sun
day night and left on the Santa Fe for
Kansas City. They left no trace Of their
going except the lack of household goods.
money and wearing apparel, some OF
which belonged to themselves but most
of which belonged to their husbands.
Along with this they took all accounts
and assets of the Wichita branch of the
st. Louis Art company, part Of those Of
their landlady, Mrs. Warron. The desti-
tute husbands were homeless and without
the necessary adjuncts of a complete
wardrobe yesterday and did not know
until last night that their wives were
gone for good. The police force when in
formed of the runaway soon traced them
to their route of departure< and the nus
band part of the art company will follow
later.

Arkansas City
Is TO BE MOVED EAST
Federal Court Opens This
Morning,

The federal court convenes today. and
one of the first things Judge Hook will
have to do viii be to consider the case OF
DR.. Clawson, who. if Judge Hook issues
the order, will be taken east tomorrow
by Deputy Marshal Trigg. Already petit
lions representing nearly 1000 people have
been collected here, at Arkansas City and
Ponca City asking President Mckinley to
pardon Mr.. CIawson. Mrs. Carter has a
petition signed by 400 people in Wichita,
and the others are in charge Of Colonel
Eckert of Arkansas City.
Mrs. CIawson and little Geneva came
up yesterday and will remain here today
until Judge Hook has said whether the
doctor must go east. 1t is very sincerely
hoped that some way may be found out
of the matter without removing the doc
tor to the east again. If Wichita and Ar
kansas City can offer any consideration Of
justice hat viii warrant keeping him here
till President Mckinley can act on his
pardon it viii be done. Letters are COM

STORY ora SLAVE

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains Of disease is the worst form
of slavery. George d. Williams, Of
Manchester Mich, tells how such a slave
was made free. He says: My wife has
been so helpless for five years that she
oould not turn over in bed alone. AIer
using two bottles Of Electric Bitters she
IS wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy. headache.
hackache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godsend to
weak. sickly run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold
by G. Gehring druggist.

TO HAVE SACRED CONCERT
Visitors to the City Next Sunday Will
Re Regaled with Music.

Tt IS almost settled that next Sunday the
people who visit Wichita on the Rock
Island excursion from the south will be
treated to some very beautiful music in
the park. There has been a sentiment
spread broadcast that Wichita has no
band worthy of note, when, as a matter
of fact, the best band musicians in the
state live in Wichita. They will join to-
gether and next Sunday the people will be
treated to the best music they have heard
in a long while.
