STREET CAR co. DEFENDANT IN
DAMAGE SUIT.
Brought for Injuries Sustained by
Esther Lapham.

The Wichita Electric Railway and
Power company was made the defendant
in a suit for $4,000 damages yesterday.
The suit was fled by Blake & Ayres and

Their Lapham and her next friend Flor

habit, with other children of the neigh

child was crossing the street when the
defendant caused to be run by one of its
servants q street ear propelled by electric
ity and that the man in charge failed to
keep the car under proper control. and
that the same was being run on that day
a & high and dangerous rate OF speed.
The petition further safes that there
was only one man in charge Of the car
and that this was insufficient, as he could
not properly look after fares and run
the car at the same time.
The plaintiff further AYERS that the ap-
planes on the car for the stopping Of
it were incomplete. That on the day men
toned. the defendant and its servants
failed to stop the car and failed also 10

Bic PRICE FOR FARM
John Giles Refuses $4,000
for I52 Acres
SIX MILES FROM WICHITA
How He Figures Sedgwick
County Farms Worth,

Mr.. John T. Giles. who resides north
west of the city six miles, was Monday
offered in cash the sum of $4,000 for his
home farm, which consists Of 152 acres.
This offer was refused by Mr.. Giles.
owing to the fact that he considers the
farm a paying investment even at that
price.
The farm is located near the big Ar
kansas river on the Sixth principal
meridian and is one Of the best improv-
ed farms in the county. The house and
buildings are all in splendid condition.
To the north of the house is a splendid
orchard of six and one-half acres and
every year always gives a fine yield Of
choice fruit.
Mr.. Giles has something like 100 acres
of his farm in alfalfa and usually cuts
five crops Of the hay each season. The
yield is about one ton per acre each
yield, and during this season this cut is
no small figure in the farm work.
Mr.. Giles owns other land in connec-
ton with his home place, but this, as the
other, IS not for SALE He has had fat
tering offers for all of his land, but con-
siders it worth keeping.
Mr.. Giles came to this county from
Spencer county, Indiana, in February,
1873, with about 800 in cash and per-
sonal effects. He Immediately purchased
a raw eighty acres of land and commence
ed farming. He has kept at the farming
ever since, and as a result his land is
well improved and he has plenty of
horses, hogs and cattle.
The average corn crop on the farm dur
ing the past twenty years is about fifty
bushels per acre. Mr.. Giles has raised
many other crops on his farm property
and is well satisfied with Sedgwick coun-
ty as a farming country.
In connection with his farm work Mr.
Giles has made money in the dairy and
gardening business. His farm is just the
right distance from the city for such
work
The refusal of the splendid offer for
his home farm by Mr.. Giles is ample
proof that Sedgwick county farm prop
erty is a good investment. Each year
sees improvement in Sedgwick county
farms and none are quicker to notice the
Increased values in farms than the farm
ers themselves.

Women Rulers.

Considerably more than half the hu- man race is ruled by women Two women = the empress dowager of China and the queen of England alone govern about half the entire population of the world. The third in importance is young Queen Wilhel- nina of Holland, whose home land numbers less than 50O0eo0 souls, but whose colonies have sO,Oc0.co0. Spain is ruled by woman. Queen Regent Christina, in the minority of her son. It is expected that the queen mother Margherita will have great influence over her sons kingdom. but her case is not needed to estabhsh the prepon- derance of woman-ruled races.

Antiquity of Anatomical stuuy.

Sir Norman Lockyer points out that the statues and plaques carved in stone and wood to be seen in the Gizeh museum prove that the priest mummifers of Memphis 5000 years ago had profound knowledge of an- atomy. Science, he therefore thinks, is as old as art, and they have ad- vanced together. Another remarka- ble fact is that the excavations in Italy have brought to light scores of finely finished surgical instruments for certain operations which are in almost every particular of form pre- cisely like those reinvented in modern times and used by the most advanced surgeons of to-day.

Does Mining Payl
From the Globe Silver Belt.l

In a talk the other day between some well known mining men, in relation to the mineral deposits iu Arizona and the depth in which the paying ores are found in our richest miner, the following interesting facts were elicited and noted down at the time:
 The United Verde mine, at Jerome, with shafts and drifts on it 100 feet deep, was offered for sale few years ago without buyer. At last w. A. Clark, of Montana, took the property, and after sinking to 800 feet, he had 96 feet of solid ore, and at 800 feet, it is reported the ore body is 400 feet wide. Clark has refused $l00, 1000, ,00O for this mine.
 The Congress mine, at 150 feet, was considered as fraud by no less a parsonage than "Diamond Joe,'' and now at 2,500 feet, it is held for s, ,000,- 900.
 The Fortuna mine, at 150 feet, was bought by Charles Lane for $l40,000 Now, at depth of 600 feet, you could not buy it for $3,O0O,OO0.
 The King of Arizona was sold for but $S0 900 when at depth of 100 feet, while to-day, with depth of 500 feet, it is held at $1 100000
 The famous Copper Queen mine at Bisbee, at depth of 200 feet, was about to be sold for debt. Now, at 500 feet, it has sufficient ore in sight to run fifty years, and money cannot buy it.
 The Crowned King mine was $23, ,000 in debt when down 165 feet. Now, at depth of 300 feet, all paid and regular dividends declared, it cannot be pur- chased for less than $l 100000.
 The Pearee niue was sold for $275,- 900 when depth of 150 feet had been reached. It is now producing $l50, ,000 annually, and is not for sale.
 You hear mining men speak of the ledge of the United Verde. There is no ledge there, and there never was one. On the surface there was large number of small stratas, which lead from the surface to the great deposit in the heart of the mountain. These stringers were sent out merely to in vite the prospector's pick. You hear the ledge of the Verde variously esti- mated at from 250 to 800 feet in width. There is, as 6 matter of fact, no end to the great deposit or zone up to the present development of the mine. The expression, ".There is mountain oi it, which you often hear in the hills can be applied to the Verde with i'm punity. It is without question the biggest mine in the world. If it were more favorably located, it would to day be a greater copper producer thar the Calumet & Recla.

The Best Plaster.

A piece of flannel dampened with Cham berlain's Pain Balm and bound to the affected parts is superior to any plaster. When troubled with lame back or pains in the side or chest, give it trial and you are certain to be more than pleased with the prompt re- lief which it affords. Pain Balm also cures rheumatism. One application gives relief. For sale by Brockway's Pharmacy.
