DIR. MATTHEW'S PLAN.


Dr. Matthews has plan for stocking
the Little Arkansas with bass and crop
pie. The present trouble is that the fish
with which the government stocks the
river are not bigger than a minute and
YOU have TO wait six or seven years for
them to grow to catchable size. DR.. Mat
thews' idea is to get up a crowd of fifty
Wichita men, hire one of Daisy's big
spriuklers and start on an expedition to
the Walnut river. about twenty-five miles
east of here. He would secure permission
or purchase It from the farmers along the
Walnut for the crowd to seine the river
for bass and croppie. The catch would
he placed in the big sprinkler and the
expedition would start for Wichita. dump
ing the fish in the Little River when it
reached here. There is no valid objection
to the plan if the permission could be Sc
cured from the farmers. The fish law
doesn't prohibit SEEMING if the fish are to
be taken from one stream and planted in
another The scheme is a good one and
should be talked over. The present stock
of bass in the Little Arkansas River is
growing. but it viii take an interminable
wait before the sport can begin as 1t
stands now.

THEY WANTED HIM.

Among the musicians Of Wichita It is
generally acknowledged that young Ralph
Dunbar, who played the cello, had as
much talent as anyone who ever lived in
the city. Fred was very young, but he
had complete mastery over mis- instru-
ment one night an orchestra came 10
Wichita with opera company and their
celloist was sick. Fred took his place.
He had to accompany the leading soprano
alone. He did It. and when the lcurtain
went down on that act the manager came
down from the stage and offered Ralph
SIS week to accompany them. Ralph was
crazy to go but his parents wouldn't per-
nit II because Of his youth.

There is a man in Wichita who can not
drink the water of commerce here because
of the alkaH it contains. He buys ice
which is made from distilled water and
then melts il down. When he goes TO

this pure water with him. He believes it
is his only salvation. The ice plants have
a regular patronage for their distilled wa

Monumental Smith Precipitate,y Bur
 jed at Florence.

Last Saturday evening about [ o'clock Aaron R. Smith was found ly- ing in the street near the school house in a dying condition, and the vital spark soon passed unheralded to the Maker who gave it. Dr. Broadway was called and after examination pro nounced it a case of heart failure. The body was taken to Thomas corral, where it was crowded into misfit pauper's coffin and hurried off to the potter's field by 3 o'clock the next morning. after a coroner's inquest lad decided that deceased came to his death from natural causes.
 A number of ministers of the gospel were in Florence at the time. but no disciple of the meek and lowly Jesus was present to administer the last sad rites over the remains of a kindly old soul who never harmed anybody.
 Rattle his bones over the stones;
 He's only a pauper whom nobody

 Aaron R. Smith was a prospector, 70 years cid and had lived for many years in Plnal county, where he was known as Monumental Smith" to dis tinguish him from the many other Smiths. The old man lived in a tent in the east end Of town, with no other companion than his faithful dog, which seemed to be the only friend left on earth. The distressing features of his death and burial have caused much comment during the past week, and no one pretends to say that they were ex- cusable, except that the poor old man was dead and buried before most of our people knew anything a'bcmt it. The responsibility for such inhumanity should be placed where it belongs. and it should never be allowed to occur again if our town expects to retain it's fair fame.-Florence Tribune.

At 12 o'clock tonight the women who have sung in a number of the saloons O. the city for some time will cease that vocation. Thefe are eleven wo- men employed in the saloons here at the present time. The objection to this practice which has been in vogue here for years was the disturbing of the Sunday quiet Church societies near where the women were singing often complained of being Interrupted in their services.
 An effort was made t,o have the sa- loon men keep the singers out of their places on Sunday nights, but dis agreement between the employers of the women prevented this being accom- plished. The situation became such that the city council was compelled to take the matter up. Petitions were sent in from all parts Of the city, and the duties of the councilmen as sery- ants of .he people, was never more ap- parent. They acted upon the matter and an ordinance was passed which directed City Marshal Taylor to stop women from singing in saloons al 2r 12 o'clock tonight.
