arguments for the company this morning
at o'clock. His contention will be that
the company should have been compelled
by court to repair its line in case it
was shown that it was in need of repairs
Of any description whatever. He is of
the opinion that no court has right 10
confiscate the property Of corporation
just because it fails TO live up to some Of
the terms of the contract under which
it has been given a right to exist. He
said yesterday that the street railway
had never been given any official notifi-
cation Of its failure to observe the terms
Of the franchise, and therefore the court
has no right to confiscate its property.
Mr. Smyth says the law which Mr.
Dougherty refers to does not hold good
where notification to corporation could
have no possible effect, as in this case.
He said this company might have been
notified every day in the year, by the
mayor council and all the high WORTHLESS
of the municipality and it would have
done no good, because it has been proved
that the corporation is wholly insolvent
and unable 10 repair the road.
The heaviest resources of the law win
be brought to bear on the case today by
Messrs. Smyth, Harris and Dougherty,
and it will be an interesting legal war

visions of these ordinances, or franchise,
the company is compelled to operate a
flrst-class system of street railway. He
said the mere contention of the defen-
dant company that the city had lost in
population could have no bearing what
ever under the franchise, because prior
to 1898. the time the present corporation
came into existence, it had no interest in
the city, its citizens or its institutions
The contract was with the city without
any regard to the population thereof or
the increase or decrease of same. There
was absolutely no clause releasing the
street car company from the principal
obligation to maintain a frst-class sys-
tenn in case Of a reduction of population
or a decrease in the revenues of the cor
poration. But as a matter or fact, Mr..
Helm said. the population Of Wichita IS
much larger in 1899 than it was in 1899,
when the street car company came into
possession of the property. The speaker
then branched out with cutting sarcasm
in description Of the present condition Of
the track and railway equipment and
showed that the company had in no way
attempted 10 fulfill its contract. He
showed that the system had refrigerated
from a frst-class system in every respect
to q miserable excuse unworthy to be
called a street railway nuisance and a
danger that no court should allow 10
exist in a city of this kind. Mr.. Helm
said it would be impossible to make n
stronger showing Of violation OF contract
than had been shown in the testimony Of
the witnesses. especially the witnesses Of
the defendant. including the expert who
had testified that the road was in no con-
dition at all to do business without $4,000
worth of repairs. Absolutely in need Of
$4,000 worth of repairs" Mr.. Helm sheer
ingiy said land not a cent to get them
with" Mr. Helm showed that the COM
pany was utterly insolvent; that 1t was
maintained by repeated contributions
from eastern syndicates that were con-
trolling T. He pointed 10 the fact that
$500 were sent here from Keene, y. H,
last spring to keep the road going. and
that every cent of that had been used
and 1890 debt piled upon the company
beside. He used these points TO show
that even though the owners desired ever
so much to improve the system Il would
be impossible. because the company is in
solvent and has nothing 10 go on, and
therefore. he thought that inasmuch as
the system was a public nuisance a
menace 10 the security Of life and prop
erty. an incumbrance to the fair streets
of Wichita. a busted concern with no
manner Of hope Of pulling itself out OF
the hole. the court should give the city
the right to Gust 1t from the streets and
give franchise TO someone who could
build a decent system.

ONE YEARS INCREASE
Bank Deposits are 100000
More Than Last Year
INCREASE OF % PER CENT
Banks Shipping in and Pay
ing in Gold.

Increase in one year...........s 307, 000
This is an eloquent and unanswerable
exposition of Wichita's commercial ad-
vantages and business activity.
While a representative of the Eagle was
standing in the Kansas National bank
asking Cashier Martin about local bust
ness as indicated by clearance reports
and individual bank deposits a gentle
man, a Wichita business man, came in
with a check for something ike 500.
Mr.. Martin paid him in $50 gold pieces.
When w. ]. Bryan made his 81, 100 speech
at the fair grounds two years ago he
said:
Before Mckinley is in office two years
longer. my friends, you will see a con-
traction Of currency, boarding of gold.
a paralysis Of business enterprise that
will bring on the most disastrous times
since 1899. Gold will be boarded in the
money centers and worth one and half
times its face value in any other kind Of
money"
But right here within two miles Of
where Bryan uttered these words the
banks have deposits amounting to an in
crease of % per cent in one year and an
increase Of So per cent since Bryan made
his speech. Only three weeks ago the
Eagle published a letter from a Kansas
City bank urging its Wichita correspond
ent to order shipments Of gold when pos
sibe. Plenty of gold but currency taken
out of banks all absorbed in business.
The increase in the deposits in Wichita
banks is due to improved local business
conditions. The money has been made
by Wichita people; brought right to the
city through regular business channels.
Every line of business has increased in
a ratio commensurate with the increase
of bank deposits. Added to this are the
prospects of several new enterprises,
such as the construction Of wholesale
houses, distributing stations, ETC. The
extension OF the Kansas Midland seems
now TO be almost an absolute certainty

way and Wichita is fourishing to the

REGULARS WANT TO KNOW
What Is the Matter With Any Sol
der.


Just what is meant in the reference to
the girls society spoken of in the fol-
lowing letter is not known. There Is no
society among the girls of Wichita for
this particular alteration of Funston's
boys any more than any other brave boy
in blue. The letter is given:
Manila, P. L, Sept. 20, 1899.
ITO the Editor OF the Eagle:
Dear Sir-In a recent issue of your
paper we read an account of the young
ladies of Wichita forming a society for
the purpose Of argumenting the question
whether or not they should marry only
Funston's boys. They may be justified
in doing so, but 1 am certain Wheaton's
boys will make just as good bubbles as
Funston's. But the patriotic and loyal
ladies of this glorious st % doesn't seem
to know that the dashing Kansas regu-
lars hail from the same state and have
the same dear mothers and sisters to
grieve and worry about them in this far
off distant part of the world. We wish
to say that the Twentieth Kansas do de-
serve all the praise and credit our CRATE
full nation can bestow upon them, but
what's the matter with the Twentieth
regulars which battled in Cuba before the
Twentieth Kansas left the United States
and are now planting Old Glory in LII
IONS sunny isle while the Kansas boys
are receiving their well-eaTned rest. We
do admit that no Drawer or better organ
ization ever existed than the Twentieth
Kansas volunteers, but the days seem
dark and dreary for the same Kansas
boys in Wichita's regiment not to re-
ceive any due credit or any kind AMI
loving words from the same dear ones
10000 miles away. I close. hoping to re-
ceive an issue OF your valuable paper in
return. AS ever a regular and, ex-volun-
teer from the glorious Sunflower state.

than those they had expected TO use at
the beginning Of the trial, because some
new questions had been brought out
which they had not anticipated. 1t was
considered evident from the confession of
the defendants attorneys that they had
a harder fight on their hands than they
had looked for, but would endeavor to
hunt up sufficient new authorities to

Mr.. Helm, city attorney, opened the

street railway. Mr.. David Smyth will
follow in behalf of the city today with
an argument on the purely legal phases
Of the case. Mr.. Helm is considered to
have made a splendid showing for his
side. He first went over the several ordi-
nances under which the street railway
company was bound to operate it's road,
and showed plainly that under the pro-

capture it, as everybody else was afraid

the alligator. The boys say they will
soon put it on exhibition.

Here's an OVerCoat
for Twelve Dollars
That's Out O Sight

A picture that can't do it justice be-
cause it only shows one side and
this overcoat has three sides to it.
The first side-the outside, is made
from very fine and extra heavy Yeovil
double-milled Atwood kersey and is
impervious to any ordinary storm OF
rain or snow.
The second side-usually called
the inside, is faced clear across the
shoulders and half way down the
back with the same material as the
outside the skirt is lined with fancy
French flannel, the collar is silk vel
vet, curve cut and closely stitched
to prevent rolling; the sleeves are
lined with guaranteed satin.
The third side-the true inside,
the vitals, the side you cannot see,
is made from non-shrinkable linen
buckram and ''Armour' s" felt pad
ding, held in place by heavy Holland
stays sewed with fax thread and it
can't shrink or wrinkle out Of shape.
We have it in two colors, blue
and brown, both cut in the latest
Boulevard Box" style.
Come in and see it, feel the cloth,
try it on, and if you would fully
appreciate its good qualities, buy it.
The price, remember, is only $12.
