WINFIELD WON AGAIN
5. WKansas College Awarded
Debate 0ger Paramount.
MARGIN WAS NARROW
OratiOnS Showed Evidence of
Much Study on Subject.

The Southwest Kansas. College deIega-
ton scored a triumph at the Crawford
opera house last night The occasion was
the third annual debate between that col
1ese and Paramount college Of this city.
The debate was on the most important
question Of the day and one in which
every citizen in Wichita is interested and
not only the citizens Of Wichita but the
whole country as we'll The question as
discussed was: Resolved, That Great
Britain is justified in the present war in
the TransvaaI." The Winfield debating
team had the negative side Of the cues
ton thus giving Paramount the afirma-
i've and causing her 20 open the argu-
ment From the enthusiasm manifested

the opera house to hear the debate. From
the argument produced II IS very evil
Gent that more work had been nut on
the debate than the average listener real
l1ed- his is question that one cannot

nave undoubtedly spent many hours on
It. While Wichita people in general ara
sorry that Fairrount College failed n

Ing ahead in every line.
The Winfield delegation arrived in +ra
e1ty yesterday morning at Hos over tho
Eanta F'e and consisted Of about 100 stu
dents and citizens. They were ner 2 the
depot by committee OF Paramount stu
cents eand were shown over the city dur
ing the balance CT the morning. This *
the second event that the Southwest
Kansas College has succeeded in SECURING,
IN this city and the Fairmount people saw
that hey are going to Winfield next wear
and CAPTURE the fourth annual event. At
the opera house the Winfield delegation
was seated on the south side and was
very much in evidence during the even
ing The Paramount crowd occupied the
north side and had much the advantage
in numbers. The yelling Of the different
crowds was very interesting and some
of the yels were rather on the UNIQUE
order. Both institutions had evidently
been in training for the occasion. but the I
Fairmount delegation was much the
stronger.
One OF the pleasant features OF the (
evening was the singing Of the Fairmount /
chorus The chorus is under the direc- (
ton az Prof. z. c. Marshall. ard gave I
two numbers and an encore. This cho- ]
rus consists Of forty voices. and while
Prof. Marshall has only had charge Of
them for a short time. yet they show
much careful preparation and their
friends were glad Of the opportunity OF
Gearing them.
After the debate the students Of Fair
mount gave a reception for the Winfield
people in the Plymouth Congregational
church. and It was thoroughly enjoyed
by the students Of the several colleges

James, SalIie and Mary Pear
son Have Money Coming.

The attorneys. Huffman & Harvey. Of
| this city, received a letter from lawyer
in an eastern state asking them to take
charge Of a case which involves the find
ing Of three lost heirs to a valuable es-
tate. The eastern attorney represents
the estate Of James Pearson. who died
last fall. In his viii. Mr.. Pearson left
800 acres Of land valued at SIS an acre
70 James, sallie and Mary Pearson, the
children OF his haIf-sister's son. This
80 acres is but a small part Of the elder
Persons estate. He was very old when
he died and had accumulated a vast
amount Of property. the most Of which
was left 10 other heirs
In his letter. the attorney states that
all trace of the brother and sisters has
been lost for the last twenty years, and
that their last known address was Wich-
tia. Kansas. He then goes on to state
that one OF the last things heard from
them was that the two sisters had mar
ried two brothers named Ross. and he
believes that they were married in this
city.
huffman & Harvey have commenced
to make a careful search for the heirs.
but as yet nave been unable TO get hold
Of only slight clues. jim Richey, one o.
the old timers Of this city, used 10 run
one Of the first hotels here. He says that
he can remember that some twenty
years ago two men named Ross regis
tered at his hotel. He also remembers
that at about the same time the name
Miss Pearson" appeared on his register
and that the three names seem TO have
some association to each other, but Of
this he IS not sure.
This is the only reliable clue that
thus far has been obtained Of the where
abouts Of finding them and putting them
in possession OF their property, which will
amount to more than $4,000 for each.

KENTUcKY's RESURRECTION.

FavOring Such Action.

ST. Louis, March IA Washington
special to the Globe-Democrat says:
''There is very strong probability
of congress taking hand in the in
surrection in Kentucky. President
Mckinley is said to favor such action,
and conservative republicans who were
strongly opposed to federal interior
ence of any kind three weeks ago
now favor this. The visit of Lieut..
Gov. John Marshall to Washington
is responsible for this expected action.
1t will come in the shape of a joint
resolution, declaring that a state of
insurrection exists in Kentucky, and
that for the good of the state, as well
as the whole country, there should be
an investigation by congress, and the
facts be determined and reported

Decision on Ra,Iroad Rates.

Omaha, Neb., March 24-In the
United States court yesterday Judge
Munger rendered decision in the
injunction case brought by the rail
roads against the state board of
transportation. The court holds that
under the decision of the supreme
court in the maximum rate case"
the board of transportation has a
right to enforce regulations and rates
not embraced within the provisions
of that law. The railroads will now
be forced either to accept the reduced
rates or make a showing before tn
board that they are unreasonable.

GAMING IN ENGLAND.
How the Betting Mania Has Grown
Among All Sorts and COndi-
ti0ns of Ken.

I'm my opinion" said Mr.. Glad
stone, there can be no words too
strong for denouncing suitably the
abominable practice of gambling
a sweeping assertion truly, yet none
who has studied the subject can re-
gard it as degree too sweeping. To-
Gay the gaming problem threatens US
with a graver menace than perhaps
ever before. Never has it so perme-
ated the whole of our national life;
never has it stood so safely under the
protection of the law as it does to-
day. Recent judicial decisions have
given professional gamesters freedom
which even ten years ago would have
seemed Incredible.
In the early part of this century
the betting mania was confined within
comparatively limited circles; to-day
it burns like a fever in every vein of
the body polite There is hardly a
class or a section of the community
that does not, week by week, almost
Gay by day, yield its tribute of ruined
lives, of blasted honor, of broken rep
utations, of shattered homes to the
craze The foremost gentleman of the
land is the leading patron of the turf;
members of the privy council take
chief part in the committee of the
Jockey club; more than one of our
great judges are noted for their reg
uiar attendance at all the principal
race meetings. From the highest to
the lowest 1T is much the same in
every class. There is hardly a work
room or office in which betting is not
one of the two principal subjects of
conversation. In East End streets you
see the ragged babies Seated On the
curbstones, with their shoeless feet in
the muddy cutters, playing with toy
cards for farthing stakes. The older
boys amuse themselves with pitch and
toss, carefully delegating one of their
party as Waterman, to proclaim the
approach of a policeman.
In the factories of the north and of
the Midlands girls and women are
the most eager and enthusiastic gam
blers. The growth of the working
woman gambler is one of the saddest
features of all. A few weeks ago
a woman was arrested as a book
maker. Every now and then case
comes i'm the police courts of a do
nestle servant who stole her mas
ter's money to 'have a bit on her
fancy" Recently it was shown in
court that woman had sold her very
clothes to gamble. The gambling
business is organized as perhaps no
other in this country is There are
at least 10000 bookmakers who live off
it-parasites on our national life.
They have their touts inside or out
side OF every worl1room, who literally
force themselves on the young me-
chanic or factory hand In govern
ment departments, such as Woolwich
arsenal, 1T has been found necessary
to take the most elaborate precautions
to stop the work of these touts, so
patent is the ruin they effect-Puritan.
