q number Of his friends at one of those
enjoyable social events known as stag
party. The function was given in the
young gentleman's room, which is in one
OF the buildings down town. OF course
nothing definite is known. but from what
could be learned Of the facts It appears
that everybody was having an exceeding
~ good time when something occurred
that caused the greatest excitement
among the pleasure seekers. In fact.
some Of the guests in their excitement
took a rather hasty departure.
It is no wonder that some Of the fel-
lows were excited. for when they were

and said they absolutely had to be there.
1t happened that they both roomed in the
same building in which the party was be-
ing given. Each made dash for his
room. One grabbed his alarm clock, put
it in his grip and made for the back
stairs. The other tucked a few things
under his arm and followed the first. 1t
is said that they made very fast time
down to the back door, where they stop
ped to see if the two cops were in sight.
While they were thus accommodating one
said to the other: Say, I wonder If I'll

Several others of the party took the
back stairs at very rapid gait. and
reached the sidewalk in safety. While
they were making their getaways to the
alley they heard roars Of laughter from

They all came back and found out that

JESSE MOORE SLUGGEO
Got Into Trouble saturday Night
with Disastrous Results.

John r. Vest is now at work on the
chain gang, busy liquldating an indebted
ness of $50 to the city. which he incurred
by smuggling Jesse Moore Saturday night
back of Kunkle's saloon on Douglas ave
nue.. Moore was badly injured and is
now in the City hospital
Just how the trouble occurred no one
seems to know. The men, it is said, had
been drinking and Quarreled. 1t is said
Vest struck Moore and the latter fell
upon his face. He was badly cut about
the face and head and had to be taken
to the hospital at once for treatment
His wounds, however, are not considered
serious.
Moore claims that his folks live at Null
vane and that he was on the way there
when he stopped off in this city Satur-
day. He is known in this city. having
been here a number Of times. Some Of
those who saw the trouble are of the
opinion that Vest had something in his
hand. but nothing was found upon him
when he was searched at the police sta
ton.

FINE CARNIVAL STATIONERY
Secretary Lockwood Has Received
Designs That are Beautiful

Secretary Lockwood has received proofs
OF all designs for the Wichita Carnival
and Fall Festival stationery from Artist
Searle, and they are the most excellent
things in the way of art that has ever
gone out of Wichita. All the letter
heads envelopes, etc. will be lithograph-
ed in colors and in designs appropriate
for high class carnival in a high class
Kansas town. Another very fine thing in
this connection is the private mailing
cards which have been designed for the
Wichita Fall Carnival. of which 10 900
will probably be ordered at once Across
the top Of the back side of the card ap-
pear the Autographed words: Wichita
Carnival and Fail Festival and be-
meath this scroll are pictures of the court
house, City building and Consistory
building. They will be printed in green,
The letterheads will be composed of diff
ferent scenes surrounding a fine scenic
reproduction of a model Kansas farm,
with finely bred stock prominently
shown in the foreground. The designs of
the different kinds of stationery are made
with a view of setting off as nearly as
possible every prominent industry that
will be represented at the carnival.

STREETS AND PARKS
Two Things Necessary TO
Wichita's Beauty.
SUGGESTION OF PLANS
That Would Add to HeaIthfui-
ness and Beauty of City.

prize paper was published a few days
since in the Eagle on how to adorn, beau
tify and render more comfortable and
attractive the Peerless Princess. The pa
per referred to read more like a screed on
municipal government by millionaire
munificence than one OF modest sugges-
tons. Wichita has but two things to
look after TO render herself the most at
tractive thing in the west, the one her
streets, the other her parks. Ali other
things are subsidiary and will be taken
care of as time and occasion demand. In
the first place, as to her resident streets,
the shade trees must be thinned out one
half and the remainder trimmed up and
put in shape. Then as we can't as yet
afford asphaltum for such stretches, West
Douglas avenue from where the pave
ment ends should be macadamized to the
bridge, and every intersecting street from
the bridge to the end of the pavement
on East Douglas should be macadam-
lied for the distance of one block, on
both sides of the avenue. And so to ev-
cry intersecting street on North Main to
the end Of the asDhaltum should be ma
cadamized for one block on both sides Of
Main. Market street should be maca-
damized and parked from Central avenue
TO Twelfth street. Lawrence avenue
north, Topeka avenue north and Empo-
ria avenue north should all be parked
and macadamiZed from Douglas avenue
to Twelfth or Thirteenth street, and
Murdoch avenue Macadamized from the
River park entrance east to Topeka ave-
nue., or better probably to the Santa Fe
crossing of that avenue. This in render
ing our resident streets more attractive
and passable, would save the principal
business streets from the awful accumu-
lations of mud which we have had this
winter. And the necessary expense to
all this would confscate nobody's hold
ings or homes. As for the park, which
is destined in the near future to be the
finest of any city in the west, we doubt
not that Mayor Ross and his admins
tration will take care of that for the
near future. With the\tusiness heart of
the city thus paved and the principal res
ident part thus trimmed up, parked and
macadamized, Wichita would be in very
good shape until such time as her peo-
pie might desire and demand something
better and more expensive. The town is
in good shape as to sidewalks on reGdent
streets, and trimming, uniform parking
and matchmaking will do the rest.

WICHITA BEATS THEM ALL
Has Sent Gut a Third More Men Than
All Other Kansas Town,

Saturday seventeen young men got into
the United States army quicker than
seventeen men ever got in before. At
Gas Lieutenant Willis U1ine arrived from
Kansas City. Ht at once went to the re-
cruidng Office on North Main and swore in
the men. At 9:45 the lieutenant and the
men left town; the former bound for
Kansas City and the latter for Fort Riley.
The men who were sworn in were:
Albert F. Hoop. William G. Dillman, Ar
thur p. Hankins, George F. Muzzy, John
w. Snugg, Oscar Simpson, Allie Fisher,
William E Fisher. Arthur L. Richmond.
George F. Hall, Logan S. Cannon. Albert
NJ. Palmer, Fred Gill, James Beard, Ell
mer Smith, Charles W. Clark, Charles e.
Duncan.
Sergeant Keuhn says that 1t is remark
able that there is so many good men in
this vicinity. His battery have three
other recruiting stations: one at Kansas
City, one at Topeka and one at Parsons,
but that the Wichita office has enlisted a
third more men than all the others put
together. OF all the men that have ap-
piled to him he has turned down eight
on general appearance, and six have been
thrown out by the surgeon. He says that
in Kansas City only about four out Of
fifty are accepted, and that in the large
eastern cities the per cent is still smaller
Lieutenant Thine was much pleased
with the men, and said they were the
best that he had yet sworn in Most of
them have been in military service.
Hoop, who was in charge Of the party
was discharged from Battery A, First
Artillery. He had a fine record and had
recommendations from all his officers.
Dillman was the man who was too tail.
but special permission was received from
the war department to enlist him. Han
kins and Muzzy were also left over from
the last party. while all the rest were
new enlistmentS.

everywhere, 25c. per box.
Prepared by C.LHood & Co. Lowell, Mass

in the city yesterday. He is thinking Of
selling his fine 440-acre farm and retir-
ing, but is almost afraid TO list it for SIS
per acre for fear of getting buyer. Mr.
Morgan has been in Sedgwick county for
twenty-five years and has done immense
~ well. Recently, he said, he went back
to his old home in Illinois and thought
he would buy a farm there. They asked
him $50 per acre for 200 acres. Mr.. Nor
gan figured that he had raised and could
continue to raise more stuff on his S45. per
acre Kansas farm than he could on the
high priced Illinois land, so ne got back
TO Kansas as rapidly as possible He
says the prices Of farm products are bet
ter here than in Illinois and it does not
cost as much to raise them. The hog
market at Wichita is always better than
it is back there for he says he has
watched it for twenty years. Mr.. Nor
gan said the wheat prospects for next
year are excellent The ground, he says,
is in excellent shape. and there is not q
single thing that he can see to ruin the
prospects for an abundant wheat Yield.
