a WiIIfuI Little Spanish Princess
Make Up Her Mind to
Marry Him.

When Infanta Maria Theresa was ten
they began talking about a husband
for her. But here, unexpectedly, the
little girl showed a will of her own.
She said she wanted to marry her
cousin, the young king Of France. She
had never seen him, except in picture,
but she had heard great deal of him.
Spain, which had been the most pow
erful of nations, was beginning to GO
downhill, and France was coming up.
1t was the most refined, the most splen-
did and the wealthiest of nations. It's
young king, Louis XIV, was said to be
a perfect fairy prince. No one else
was so handsome; no one else had so
bold a spirit, or so gracious manners, or
were such magnificent clothes with 50
grand an air. Maria Theresa thought
he would just suit her.
And then, cutie suddenly, Infanta
Don Balthazar died, and Maria Theresa
became the keiress presumptive to the
Spanish throne. Then there was no
more talk of her marriage to the king
of France; if she was to be the queen
of Spain, she would have TO stay at
home. Then there came another sud
den change. The king. her father, de-
cided to marry again, and whom should
he take for a second wife but that
very Mariana of AUSTRIA who had
been intended for his sons bride. =.
Afterwards, Queen Mariana had two

no longer heiress to the throne, and
there was no reason why she should
not leave the country. De Gramont,
the French ambassador, came seeking a
wife for his young master, and Maria
Theresa's childish wish came true. She
was greatly pleased. She used to run
away from her ladies-in-waiting to the
room where hung the portrait of the
handsome French king, and curtsy to
it, saying with a laugh:
That is for my bridegroom"
So the king of France, with a mag
nifcent suite, journeyed down from
Paris to the frontier of his kingdom;
and the Spanish princess, with a mag
Eificent suite, journeyed up from Mad
rid to the frontier of hers; and there.
On an island in the Bidassoa, which is
the boundary stream, they were mag
nificently welded. The brides dresses
filled II large trunks, covered with
crimson velvet and mounted with sill
YER; 20 morocco trunks contained her
linen; 80 mules were laden with her
toilet plate and her perfumes. Besides
all this, she took with her quantities of
presents, among them two chests filed
with purses, gloves perfumes and
whisker-cases, for her future brother
in-law, the duke of Orleans. cannot
tell you exactly what "whisker cases"
were, except that they were made of
leather, and that the handles of that
time went 10 bed with them on their
mustaches. Perhaps they were some
thing like curI-papers.-Isabel Nc

National Guard, consisting OF Battery A,
located at Wichita, and Battery B. locat-
ed at Topeka, are in need Of some school

to encourage and assist the National
Guard in its endeavor to educate itself.

MEANS NEW DEPOTS
Frisco Will Spend 100000
improving Midland.
WHAT MIDLAND COST
Frisco Paid Over 100000
for It.
lat MIDLAND COST

The Frisco paid $2,O65,000 for the Kan
sas Midland. OF this, $1,100,01O is OF Kan
sas Midland division first mortgage bonds,
and $685., 900 common stock trust certih-
Gates Of the St Louis and San Francisco
railroad. The new Frisco bonds are au-
thorized for $4,000. of which 100000
will be reserved for future improvements
on the Midland division. Interest will ac-
crue from April L The new securities
will be distributed pro rata to the $685.
COO outstanding Midland bonds less the
amount required to pay expenses and
some s6o, 900 receivers certificates. This
deduction will be IN the neighborhod Of
500, 900.
Two hundred thousand dollars for i'm
proving the Midland means nearly 5000
a mile. the road being from Wichita 70
Ellsworth 106 miles long. The sum Of
1900 per mile would almost build the
track new. 1t is fair 10 assume that
even after new steel has been put down
and the property repaired all along the
line there viii be probably $500 or more
left and that most of the remainder viii
be spent in improving the Wichita ter
minal, building passenger station,
freight depot and the like. The Frisco is
the only big road reaching Wichita
without its ows terminal facilities Its
passenger business through and local in
and out of Wichita is important and
the freight business is immense. The
Frisco has on several occasions shown a
frank friendhness for Wichita and the
town has every reason 10 believe that
the road will put in a new passenger sta
ton commensurate IN capacity and ele-
ganee with the roads Importance and its
relation to the town. BY the new ar
rangement Wichita will be on a great
through run from st. Louis and the east
to Denver and western points. The ex-
pending Of 500 900 on the Midland means
not only important and heavy improve
ments for Wichita, but it must mean also
a greater and more substantial equip
ment Of the division, not only in the way
of tracks, switches, depots, etc, but in
the rolling stock. This VIII create ne
cessity for more repair work. shops, etc,
and it is only fair to assume that some
Of this viii come to Wichita, and in COM
ing add probably twenty or thirty or
hundred men to the towns laboring pop
ulation. The purchase Of the Midland
shuts off the probability of its extension
TO the southeast, matter Wichita re-
grets to see and which must be put for
ward by local effort If it is ever done
Wichita needs a southeast road.

TO RAISE MONEY
Fall Festival Committee Laid Plans

The ways and means committee Of the
Carnival and Fail Festival association
held a meeting in the city building last
evening, The topic up for discussion was
the manner in which to raise money by
subscriptions for the fair this fall The
principal subscriptions among the bust
ness men will probably be raised in the
manner pursued last fall In addition 10
this, subscription papers will be circulat-
ed among those who do not attend Com
mercial club meetings. and II IS possible
that the committee viii attempt to raise
funds by popular subscription. The plans
for the festival this fall are 50 extensive

ENGINES WERE DETECTIVE
f. 6. smyth Brings suit Against Ohio



There was case on trial in the city
| court yesterday which is pretty much
jumbled and altogether tangled up The
case is a suit brought by f G. Smyth &,
Sons against the Columbia Machine Co.
a corporation doing business in the state
of Ohio. In their bill of particulars, the
plaintiffs say that the defendants shipped
| them two gasolene engines on consign-
ment. These engines were warranted TO
be first class in construction to generate
/ fve-horse power. TO be suitable to run
machinery in the place of ordinary en-
gines and to be free from defects.
Relying on these representations, Smyth
& Sons sold one Of the engines to the
| Western Lithograph company of this city
and warranted # the same as il had been
warranted to them. Now this engine
turned out TO be wholly unfit TO do the
work which il was supposed to do and
caused the autograph people an endless
lot Of bother and delay. OF course they
looked to Smyth & Sons to make good
their part Of the contract-that is. to
make the engine run. This seemed very
hard to do, for Smyth & Son are alleged
money in trying to coax the engine to run
in a proper manner.
AT length the Western Lithograph COM
pany became disguised with this kind Of
motive force and sent the engine back to
the dealers. Then the engine. together
with its mate, which had never been
sold, was transported TO the Mccormick
Harvester company's warehouse and
placed in charge Of Mr. D. S. Porter,
their general agent at this point
Smyth & Sons had paid the Columbia
Machine company for the engine, and.
after it had proved failure. they want
ed the firm TO refund their money. The
machine company could not see it that
way and refused 10 remit. Smyth & Sons
then brought suit for the amount Of s525
and ran an attachment on the two en-
gines in the possession Of Mr. Porter.
The defendants have fought the case
from the start and are still fighting it.
To begin with. they dug up every little
flaw they could find in the papers and
moved the court that the case be dis
missed on account Of these DISCREPANCIES.
The plaintiffs filed counter-motions and
the case was kept in court. The machine
company had never made any fight on
the second engine but were devotfng
their attention to the new one. Finding
that the motion scheme would not work
they brought new circumstance into
the case. A man named Louis A Add
son filed an interplea claiming that the
Columbia Machine company had on the
18th day Of March assigned the engine in
the possession Of Mr.. Porter TO him and
that he should be declared owner of the
same. One Of the strange things about
this interplea is that the suit was fled
on the 14th Of February, and yet Mr. Ad-
olson says the engine was assigned to
him on the 18th Of March. The arguments
on the case will be heard at 9 O'clock
this morning, and it will then be settled
