of artists. every one OF whom is en-
titled TO a word of praise.
The stage setting and accessories were
good. Only one elaborate setting, how
ever, appeared and this was the elevator
setting. This play has not the wealth
of scenery that usually accompanies a
Hoyt production, but it depends raths-
upon the very interesting plot splen-
didly brought out by the company. The
music wac especially good. It was writ

Whitney Bennington. a musical director
who plays excellently and is entitled to

pie always responded nobly to any call
made by the library ladies.
Free stationery was always there, and
home in these rooms, and blessed the
noble women who had made it possible
for him to spend his last days more
pleasantly in their quiet rooms, reading,
than in a noisy boarding house. Albu-
querque being q health resort, felt the
need of such a place to an unusual de-
gree, and filled it we'll
The clubs of Wichita could do much
toward helping a free library. One dona-
ton day, managed by the various clubs,
would double the present size Of the Ii
brary, and no doubt would be responded
to by many outside Of the clubs.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, which is but village
compared to Wichita, also has free IL
brary, managed on the same lines as the
Albuquerque, except that 1t, like all pub
lie work, including the park, is under
control of the Woman's Board of Trade,
which has been the wonder and admira-
ton of many towns.
A free public library can come none too
soon to any town. The benefit is incalcu-
lable-not to those who own Webster's
latest, encyclopedias up to date, with ali
the magazines, etc, to read at home, but
to the masses who are not so blessed,
the working people who can only reaN at
night, those struggling for an education.
So I, for one, hope the gentlemen in the
council may see the way clear very soon
to give to Wichita the best they can af-
ford, and which may in the future be a
great credit to Wichita.

SUFFERS GAGE RESOLUTIONS

in its scope, and an amendment was add

transactions relating to the sale Of the
New York custom house site. Secretary
Cages friends had been informed that
he courted the fullest investigation and
was prepared to submit all the facts 70

ELLA GLENN SHIELDS
WERE SET FREE
Kirk johnson and Fred Tartar Ac.
Quilted at Eureka.

Fred Tartar and Kirk Johnson, Wichita
boys, who were on trial at Eureka on the
charge Of stealing three sets of harness
at Fall River, Greenwood county, early
last summer, were acquitted yesterday in
the district court of. Greenwood county.
The crime was alleged to have taken
place July 81. A few days afterward the
harness was found in this city. One set
had been purchased by Frank Gard and
the others by a secondhand dealer. The
two boys were arrested on the charge
and taken to Fall River.
The preliminary trial took place at
once and the boys were. bound over to the
district court. Owing to some misunder-
standing it was impossible to provide
bond for them at once and they lay in
Jail at Eureka for over a month Finally
$1,000 was raised in cash and deposited
with the county treasurer of Greenwood
county, and the boys were released.
Nearly two months ago the trial came up
for hearing in the district court, but was
postponed on account of the sickness of
one of the principal witnesses for the
state.
The case was called for trial Wednes-
day afternoon and was continued until
yesterday morning The state made a
very poor case against the boys. There
was little discriminating evidence pro-
duced and the defense did not introduce
a witness, but let the case go to the jury
as soon as the state had exhausted it's
resources.
The jury was out about three hours and
then returned a verdict Of not guilty
The boys came home last evening with
their friends and attorneys.
The case on trial was against Tartar
alone. the county attorney having made
a case against each of the boys, instead
Of prosecuting them jointly. When the
verdict of not guilty was returned in the
case against Tartar. the county attorney
threw up his hand and said there was no
use in trying the case against Johnson,
and ordered the latter released.
Judge ]. NJ Balderston and James Con-
ley of this city and Judge Clogston of
Eureka represented the two Wichita boys.
Detective Harry Sutton, James Howard,
Frand Gard and Mrs. Caldwell of this
city attended the trial and returned last
evening.

Made by Judges at the Poul-

SOME CURIOUS FOWLS
BOOSTERS Combs Crossways--
Possums, Rats, ETC., Shown

Talk about chickens! You ought to see
them at the poultry show. There's black
chickens, white chickens, red chickens,
brown chickens, speckled chickens, plain
chickens, big chickens with flashes OF
art on their feathers, little chickens that
look all feathers. In fact, there are
chickens OF all kinds and descriptions,
and, besides chickens, there are canaries
and guinea pigs, ducks and rabbits. pig
cons and turkeys and opossums. to say
nothing of rats. And in addition to see
ing a large collection OF all kinds of poul-
you are looking at the very best speci-
mems of their kind in the world
Tuesday the judges finished their scor-
ing and the premiums have been award
ed. The birds that have won prizes seem
to be aware of the fact and at 10 o'clock
last night they were still strutting around
showing off their fine feathers. Among
the chickens there are two kinds that de-
serve special mention. One Of these are
the Houdans, which have a very large
hood, and the rooster. instead OF having
a comb that runs back~elong the center
OF the head, has a small one that stands
crossways just ahead of his ton-not
The other IS the white crested, black
Polish. These have. as their name indi-
Gates, very large, white crest, which,
in contrast with their coal black bodies,
is very noticeable.
The show is undoubtedly one Of the
best exhibitions that has taken place in
Wichita and it would amply repay anyone
to visit the feathered pets

COlOred Man Tries to Evict a Family
From His House.

Ed Miller, proprietor of the Centropolis
perience yesterday with the majesty of
the law. A family named Felix was
staying at his place and the wife was
cooking for him. They owed, he said
for rent, and Miller gave them notice to
leave in due legal form. At the end of
the stated time he evicted them himself
without calling upon the officers of the
law. He was arrested for disturbing the
peace and was fined s. in police court
which he paid. He will probably invoke
the aid of the officers of the law next
time before he evicts a family from his

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

Beach & Bowers and popular prices
was combination that the amusement
public could not resist, and last evening
saw the largest audience of the season,
in any Des Moines house, packed into
the Grand to listen to the jokes and
songs and specialties of this always
popular troupe. The public may be criti
cised by the lover of the legitimate
drama for too little appreciation; but the
champion of burned cork minstrelsy will
never find reason to enter a protest if he
finds such evidences of appreciation as
were shown last evening. Beach &
Bowers are strong in all the elements OF
the popular minstrel show Bobby Beach
and Otis Bowers are so well known that
they do not need to be introduced; and
they are well supported in the comedy
work. The audience was an uproarously
appreciative one from first to Iast.-Des

1t Is not surprising that dual roles when
presented by a great artist have a po-
tent fascination for theater-goers. After
witnessing Miss COMBS fawless work
as Lady Dedlock. it was with a curious
commingiing of expectancy and fear that
the audience waited for her appearance
as Hortense. Would she detract from her
art as shown in Lady Dedlock, or would
she increase our admiration for IL? The
verdict OF the critics and the audience
for once agreed perfectly; her success
was instantaneous. A character. creation
more brimfui Of Efe and truth cannot be
