HUSBAND WAS SH4 MINING
When SIC said He Would Take wife
for Better or fOrWOrse-

or beNteF OF IOE"OESO'
If the allegations of Mrs. Lizzie Pow
ers are correct MIR. Powers was sham
ming when he said at the matrimonial
altar that he would take her for better
or for worse. Mrs. Powers health failed
her and her husband IS said to have
gotten mad and said he would not live
with an invalid or support her II she had
to be sick all the time. She alleges that
he left her and her children to do for
themselves and would not support them.
He went away and now she IS sueing him
for divorce on the ground of abandon
ment and non-support. They were mar
ried at Derby in 1882, and have four
little children. all of whom the wife asks
the custody of. She says her husband
has some money and personal property
and asks that he be restrained from dis
posing of them and that he be ordered to
pay a certain sum weekly as aiimony.
Judge Dale granted an order yesterday
compelling Mr.. Powers to pay his wife
50 a week temporary alimony and re-
straining him from disposing of his prop
erty until the suit Is determined.

WOULD-BE DESPERATE
Rides Ont or Town Shooting at Poop
les Houses.

The residents Of South Lawrence ave-
nue. are complaining bitterly about the
actions of young country tough who is
bent on initiating a cowboy every night
he goes home from the city. He lives in
the country south of town and 1t is said
that nearly every time ne goes home he
rides in a staggering fashion down Law
renee avenue and when he gets a safe
distance from the Doliceman's beat he
draws his revolver and empties Il at the
houses as he rides along. The other
night the young man had an extra heavy
jag on and he shot directly at the
houses. Among the houses hit were those
of Frank Calender, Councilman Park
hurst and three or four others In that
immediate vicinity. He shot through the
door of Councilman Parkhurst's house
and st is considered very lucky that no
one in the house was injured. The young
mans name has been handed to the
authorities and he may have to pay
dearly for his nefarious practice

ABUSE OF POSTAL CARDS
Government Makes Rules Regarding
Advertising aud Private Cards


Advertising aud Private Cards
The Wichita postofiice received circu-
lar notice yesterday from the postofFice
department, giving warning against the
mailing Of private mailing cards which
are larger than the size prescribed by law.
Private mailing cards were created by a
law OF May, 1898. This law prescribes
that they must be the same size as the
ordinary postal card. that is, 3Ax5I5
inches. They may be OF any color, but
OF material no heavier than such as would
give 1000 cards the weight Of six pounds
three ounces. On the face must be room
for a stamp and for the address. and any
such printed matter as the sender may de-
sire may be put on the front OF the card.
On the front of the card are printed the
words: Private Mailing Card" On the
hack OF the card may be printing or writ
ing as desired. Anyone may go 10
printer and have cards made under these
specifications. and II a One-cent stamp
is pasted on the space allowed for It the
card Will be carried through the mails.
The postoffice department has, however.
provided for advertising cards. which are
confused often with private mailing cards.
itc srllutT VI an dllN CRUISING CstIu
however. permitted to write on the back
of it unless he wishes Ito pay two cents
postage. The advertising card does rot
bear the words Private Mailing Card"
Advertising cards are used extensively
for advertising purposes by mercantile
and other business concerns. The warn
ing OF the postoffice department does not
concern them. II refers merely 10 an
occasional violation when cards larger
tran the size prescribed for private mail
ing cards are made bearing the WORDS,

Places OF Business.

The committee of the Central Labor
union having In charge the labor day cele-
bration at Riverside park will call soon
on the different merchants, requesting
them to close their places OF business on

labor day a big event by participating and
allowing their employees TO participate in
the exercises.
Numerous prizes have been contributed
by merchants for the sporting events, and
entries are coming in very satisfactory.

ious for moro entries before Monday In

SELLING HIS SHIRT
CRATER Strikes Wichita With
a New Graft.
GAVE HIS NAME AS BANKS
Sad Tale of a Dirty Shirt That
Wasn't on Him."

About four or Ave weeks ago there ap.
peared on North Main street one night q
man who wanted to sell his shirt He
went 20 the Kansas news stand and
struck Walter HartzelL HartzelI had
plenty of shirts and the stranger walked
on. AT the corner he met Charles Davis
want to buy a shirt, mister?"
what DO you want to sell your shirt
for7"
The stranger. who said his name was
Banks and that he wanted to get to Enid,
o. T.; had fds shirt slung across his
arm. He took hold of the garment and
held It I'D.
Say, stranger" he said, tive earned
nearly so in that shirt working in the
harvest field. had little bad luck and
lost all my money. didn't even have
enough left to get my shirt washed. I'm
up against 1t hard. I want to get to
Enid and I can't beg. I'll sell you my
shirt. If you want that shirt you can
have 1t for whatever you want TO give
little dirty. but can't beg. Want to buy
the shirt?''
Charlie Davis didn't have any particu-
lar use for that brand of shirt, so he
sent Banks to Officer Lew Aspey. Every
now and then some one advanced dime
or a quarter, allowing Banks to keep the
shirt. Mr.. Aspey didn't 1have any use
for the shirt and he couldn't throw q
man in who was so conscientious and
scrupulous in the matter OF working up
his next meal.
The next morning the stranger was
gone. He probably forgot his itinerary,
for last night he showed up again and
with that same dirty shirt. He hadn't
sold 1t yet and he was in the same fix
as to finance. but he wanted to go to
Newton this time. He chose a little diff
ferent locality to work In. taking East
Douglas for his field.
He walked up to a gentleman on East
Douglas vino had given him a quarter
on his first trip. and said:
Mister. want to buy a shirt? I've been
threshing in this shirt and it's a little
dirty, but I'm I'D against it and I want
to go 70 Newton. 1 can't beg"
well, how many times do you ask the
same man to buy the same Shirt" said
the man who had been worked. Here a
second man who had been I'D against
Banks came I'D and said:
Say, boy, how much you got on that
shirt? and you ain't even washed it.
Have you chcanged your story. Another
man came I'D and piped in:
''Why don't you change shirts or wash
that one. Better pnt 1t on a while and
make another town. Been to Enid yet p
And then a third came I'D and yelled:
did you fellows ever hear the story Of a
dirty shirt?'
And the crowd said in chorus as Banks.

COL, POINTS IS HERE
Promoter Of S. O. and |. T.
Railroad Means Business.
WILL BUILD TO WICHITA
important Conference With
Commercial Club Today.

Colonel c. N. Points, promoter OF the
Shawnee, Oklahoma and Indian Territory
railroad, Is again in the city and at 1C
o'clock this morning will hold a confer
ence with the Commercial club with re-
gard TO making wichita the northern ter
minus Of the road. Other important prop
oatIons will be considered and 1t is ex-
pected THAT matters will soon be so far
adjusted as TO warrant great activity
both on the part of the Commercial club
and the board of directors of the new
road.
Iflthe present plans are carried out It
ia thought that from $4,000 20 100000
bonus will be asked of Wichita, in con-
sideration OF which this city will be Sc
leeted as the northern terminus, with
shops and officers headquarters located
here.
So thoroughly was President Points
convinced of the success of his efforts here
last week that on his return to Shawnee
the board of directors OF the Shawnee,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory railroad
held a meeting and passed a resolution
extending the charter rights Of the road
from Stroud, in Lincoln county, in a
northwesterly direction through Lincoln,
Pawnee and Payne counties, the Usage
and Kaw Indian reservations and the
counties OF Convey. Sumner and Sedg-
wick of Kansas, to Wichita. The amend
ment to the original charter was filed
with the territorial secretary Tuesday.
~,
naming now is to secure the right-of-
way through the country mentioned in
the charter The funds with which TO
build and equip the read are already
promised by eastern capitalists and will
be ready as soon as the right-of-way is
secured. The fact that capitalists are so
anxious to furnish money is the best evil
dence that the road has merit as finan-
cial venture
Men who are familiar with railroad
building say that the Shawnee, Oklahoma
and Indian Territory railroad will be the
biggest thing that has ever come to
Wichita. 1t will not only help Wichita
burt southern Kansas will find new car
rier for its products into a section that
needs them. The road will carry Kansas
i've mining regions. where such products
are not raised but are heavily consumed.
This region lies in the Indian Territory.
That section can in return send her coal
70 southern Kansas. At the southern
terminus the new road will tap a road to
the Gulf of Mexico, thus giving Wichita
and Kansas an outlet to the gulf sea-
ports. In addition to this. the new road
will tap some of the richest country in
the south, both mineral and farm lands
being reached by the route surveyed. It
will give some OF the best towns in Okla
homa and Indian Territory direct line
to Wichita and will open up a new and
rich field for the Wichita wholesaler and
manufacturer.
For these reasons and many others
equally as important, the Commercial
club Is said to feel justified in taking up
the new project with much earnestness
and will extend every accommodation
and help possible to secure the building
Of the new road.

alleges that Mr.. and Mrs. Baxter were
married in this county In November, 1886,
and lived happily until 1897, when, the
husband alleges, Mrs. Baxter commenced
10 conduct herself in total disregard of
her duty towards him. and took up with
Samuel Bennett, with whom she has been
immorally associated ever since, notwith-
standing Mr.. Bakers many protests.
The husband accuses his wife of living
in adultery with Bennett now at 625
North Washington avenue, and Is dishon-
oring him and his children He asks that
at the final hearing the court will find
her guilty of living in adultery with Ben
nett and give him custody and care OF
the children and an absolute divorce

and denies the allegations OF her hus-
band, and 1t is expected that a hot law
