NEW LUMBER YARD
Happened to Locate on County Lots
and Stay Have 20 Get on

The Jackson Lumber company, a new
institution for Wichita, is putting in
new lumber yard on North Main street
between Central avenue and Third street.
It seems however, that they have struck
an obstacle before they got their yard
completed, as it was learned yesterday
that they were building on some lots
owned by the county by tax title. and for
which the new firm had no permission to
use, although they must have thought
they had permission. There are only one
or two individual lots on their site, the
rest having been taken in by the county
for taxes. The board of commissioners
decided yesterday to notify the new firm
and protect the interests of the county.

BAYONET EDITOR ARRESTED
Charged With Obstructing the Side
walk by POpuIistic Harangue

W. H. Peltret, editor and manager of
Jerry Simpsons Bayonet, was arrested
yesterday charged with obstructing side
walks, Mr.. Peltret was harangueing hun
CRY seekers after Simpsonian philosophy
at the Kansas National bank corner, and
had succeeded in punching up quite
number Of persons, contrary TO one OF the
ordinances contained in the little legal
brochure which every policeman is now
compelled to keep in his pocket. Police
man Crawford had his brochure with him
and he notified the crowd to dissemble.
so as to allow free passage of pedestrians.
At the officers orders Mr.. Peltret's Simp-
sonian Populism began to pop, and he
made some remarks to the officer, bur
cleared the sidewalk. When Policeman
Crawford returned on his beat Mr.. Pei
tret was still there with a larger crowd
than before, and his voice was about
fourteen tones higher than before, or in
the range of high C sharp. The police
man put his hand on his ordinance
brochure and again told Mr. Peltret' to
stop. Mr.. Peltret grew white with rage,
and placed his right hand on a copy of
the Bayonet, which he is said to carry in
Ills mp poChel, principally lOF pFOIeCllOn
against public calamities such as imper-
ialistic microbes, and deied the police
man. The policeman didn't know Pei
tret was an editor He took him by the
coat collar and marched straight to the
police station. 1t is understood he will be
given a trial today.
No arrest in many day has drawn the
crowd that Peltret's did. 1t is said that

WILL ENLARGE PLANT
Citizens Ice Co. Forced to
Double Its Capacity
NEW MACHINERY ORDERED
Growth of City Responsible
for Larger Demand.

The Citizens Ice company, which has
been in operation less than a year, has
prospered so well that the pr5etors
will at once begin work on larger plant
and will entirely remodel their present
building and enlarge the plant to double
its present size. New machinery and
new power will be added and the building
will be extended south and east to afford
capacity for the new works The
ice cream department will also be en-
larged, as the wholesale trade of their
cream had reached immense proportions
before the end of last season and the pro-
prietors are preparing to accommodate a
larger trade this year. The manufactur-
ed ice which the company has turned out
has taken so well with the public that
Messrs- Steffen & Bretch saw before the
end Of last season that they would have
to enlarge their plant. They had hardly
calculated correctly the great growth of
Wichita and its attendant prosperity
when they figured on their present plant
but they have determined TO keep up with
the growth of the city and viii enlarge
as the demands require The plant will
give work to almost double the number
of employees this year and will be an en-
terprise in every respect a credit to the
city.
Messrs. Steffen & Bretch commenced
the erection of their present plant on
February 90, of last year. They had the
plant in operation and froze their first
hatch of ice on May l. From that day
their trade steadily increased and they
had all the business they could well ac-
oommodate by the end of the season.
That they are this soon compelled to
double the capacity Of their plant to
meet the demand for their products
speaks well not only for them, but for
the city and demonstrates to a certainty
that enterprises will pay here from the
start If properly managed.
Messrs Steffen & Bretch will prepare
10 handle a large wholesale trade for
their ice cream, which they ship success
fully TO points way down in the territory.
They expect TO have their new plant
ready for operation by May 80.

Ell to Thousands, all in order that the
city of Chicago might have an adequate
method Of distosing of its sewage so as
10 to injure the health of it's own citi-
zens, or, for that matter, of anybody.
This stupendous expenditure Of money,
however, was much more than was nee
essary to create q canal for the disposal
of sewage. In order to get a permit to
build the canal the sanitary trustees
were obliged to submit to the plans of
the Government for a canal big enough
not only to carry off the necessary sew
age. but to form the connecting link for
the great ship canal that will u day
connect the great lakes with the gulf.
Innumerable difficulties nave been plac-
ed in the way of the construction of the
canal. Nature i%nterposed miles Of solid
rock, but the people Of the Illinois and
Mississippi valleys interposed objections
that it proved much more troublesome
to surmount. They claimed that the
sewage Of Chicago would endanger the
health of the inhabitants Of Joliet and
st. Louis and other cities.
The part of the canal into which the
water is now flowing begins at the south
branch of the Chicago river at Robey
street, Chicago, and continues southward
IN an entirely artificial channel until it
reaches Lockport, a distance of twenty
eight miles. At Lockport the large con-
trolling works which will regulate the
flow of water are situated. Between
Chicago and Lockport the fall is only
about eve feet. In the next four miles
the fall is about forty feet, and were
it not for the dam and sluice gates at

great as to render the Chicago river too
