state this country is getting in from the
newspapers.
The government came in promising a
social program and has redeemed its
promise by an expenditure which renders
domestic reform an impossibiHty and by
foreign policy which has earned the
scorn and condemnation Of every civilized

Bertram Miller has made his home in
Wichita since 1897, but he belongs TO

often. At present he is with the Manhat-

What Happened to Jones" has been
pronounced one of the cleanest, brightest
and merriest farces written in years.
There is something in the title alone
which brings a smile to ones face but
when the ludicrous situations and ex-

the plot threads it's way are seen, that
smile broadens into one long. hearty
laugh that hardly has a pause until the

PICKED UP A SNAP
Charlie Daniels Buys Old
Cracker Factory Building
ON FREMONT STREET
Will Use 1t for Large Storage
Building.

Mr.. Charles Daniels, the furniture man.
concluded a deal yesterday for the three
story brick building on South fremont
street, formerly known as the Wichita
cracker factory. The consideration was
$4,000. Included in the purchase are two
vacant lots adjoining the building on the
north, which Mr.. Daniels probably will
build on sometime in the future, as they
are valuable lots and reasonably close to
the wholesale district, so as to be used
for a site for a wholesale or tobbing es-
adjustment Mr.. Daniels closed the deal
just In time to shut out four or five other
mon who had learned the price Of the
property and were eagerly after the DEAL
He could close out today at a profit, but
will keep the building for his own use
He will use the building for warehouse
in which to store his large reserve stock
Of furniture, which he always carries
Warehouse room is becoming very scarce
in Wichita and the rents for such places
are constantly on the increase. The in
crease Of rents is what induced MIR. c.
Daniels to buy building at this time
The building is of brick, full three
stories and very firmly put together. It
has a fine new elevator, which was put in
just year ago, and a set of platform
scales at the rear, which will be very
useful to Mr.. Daniels. The entire build
ing will be used for storage purposes, as
Mr. Daniels will prepare to do q whole
sale and jobbing business in the furniture
line, business which has gradually been
forcing itself upon him for some time and
which will doubtless be worked up in
time to q more profitable thing
The conditions of the realty market In
Wichita continue to be favorably report
ed by all dealers. A year ago home men
began to see the progress and evident
bright future Of their home city and at
that time commenced to invest. The fact
that all of the purchases are made by
home men is the best evidence that the
realty market has a solidity which be-
speaks good investment and good IN
comes. Home men are the best judges.
There is no speculative fever and never
will be again. 1t is the good business
sense that induces home men to pick the
snaps that have been on the market the
past year. Several other large deals are
on tao.

DARKEST RUSSIA.

Edwin Q. Jepson's production Of Dark
est Russia" will be the attraction at the
opera house next Tuesday. Good plays
tertainers and please the playing public,
for, no matter what the writer's may say,
the people are the critics after all, and
the life OF play is measured by its pat
ronage and that, in this day and genera
ton, is only bestowed, for any length of
time, on the better order of stage crea-
tons. for the amusement seeker has
learned to be most discriminating in the
bestowal Of his favoritism, in matters
theatric. The fact that this play is now
well entered on its seventh consecutive
season would indicate that it had in 1t
those requisites so dear to the heart of
the theatre goer-love, interest and COM
edy, for these have been pronounced the
foundation on which all popular plays
have been built. Were it lacking in these
essentials 1T would long since have been
relegated to obscurity. Not only is there
a love and comedy interest in this play,
but it is one of many strongly drawn
dramatic scenes. and so happily has 1t
been constructed, that 1t progresses from
highly worked up dramatic situation TO
love episode, and then glides into comedy
line and complication by natural and
easy sequence. 1t is a play of never flag
ging interest, and leaves much with an
audience to be pleasantly remembered
long after the lights have gone out on its
final scene.

ALLEGED JoINTIST
JOSEPH WIMP SUES FOR WRIT
OF HABEAS CORPUS.
Was Brought Here From Bentley and
His Place Closed

Joseph Wi1np, who is in the county jail
charged with running joint at Bentley,
has petitioned Judge Dale, through At
torney Otto Eckstein, for writ Of habeas
corpus, claiming he is being unlawfully
imprisoned in the Sedgwick county jail.
On the 18th inst, there was filed against
Wimp information claiming that he was
operating a joint or blind tiger. The
complaint was before w. G. Black, a JUS
tice of the peace at Valley Center, and a
warrant was issued and executed by the
constable The complaint was made by
Logan Owens of Bentley, who asked that
all the bottles, liquors, glasses, bars, etc,
be confscated by the officers. Wimp was
taken before Justice Black, who COM
mitted him to Jail n he was brought
here day before yesterday to remain until
the 9Th Of February, when he is to have
his trial at Valley Center. In the petit
ton for habeas corpus the petitioner
claims that the complaint charges no
offense against the laws Of the state and
neither does the warrant under which
he was arrested. He claims that for this
reason both the complaint and warrant
are void and therefore the commitment
by Justice Black is Illegal
1t is said that Bentley has been pes
tered for a long time by illegal liquor
selling and so-called dives and the people
there are tired of them They have be-
gun to take the matter before the courts
and viii hunt for evidence on which to
file information until the last one is wiped
out. Logan Owens, it is said, will not
hisitate to file complaint where he can
get any evidence at all.

Chief of Police Cubbon regarding a rob-
berry which took place in that town a day
or SO ago. Some thief entered Mr. Smiths
home and stole a gold watch and a large
revolver. Mr.. Smith states in his letter
that he suspects a man named J. B.
Moore of the robbery. Moore he says,
left town about the time the robbery &C.

found associating with negroes as he has
a colored wife in Argonia and mixes more
with colored people than those Of his own
race. He offers a reward of So.

We al lhave a certain weakness for

waiting as 1.-THE Real Widow Brown"
which comes to the Crawford theatre
Monday, February 5, chaperoned by the
able management of Mr.. A Q. Scammon,
This amusing play is the latest bid for
popular facor from the American public,
and there is no doubt that its great Ber-
lin and London success will be duplicated
here 1t is a farce comedy of the most
amusing type, replete with bright songs
and merry dances interpreted by some of
the best artists in the theatrical world
1t possesses a decidedly amusing plot,
full Of absurd complications and yet,
withal, clean and pure If you see THE
Real Widow Brown" you are bound to
laugh. If you don't laugh you've made
a mistake, and as panacea for the blues
you should have sought a druggists pre-
scription and not an orchestra chair.
1.-The Real Widow Brown" holds a re-
ception at the Crawford theatre Monday
next, February 5, under the watchful eye
of Mr.. A Q. Scammon. This lady IS a
real parsonage and about her hinges
some OF the most amusing complica-
tons ever introduced into farce comedy.
Her attendant merry-makers comprise
some OF the cleverest comedians and
condolences on the stage She is a de-
vout admirer of bright, up-to-date songs
and captivating dances and the play IS
full of them. She = also a stickIer for
fashion, and the costuming is chic and
rare.
, The play was built for laughter pur-
poses only, so don't be misled. FOR IL you
are OF a really serious turn OF mind, don't
go. Wait until Mr. So-snd-So comes
along with his grand aggregation OF le-
climate artists in "OtheIlo the Moor OF
