PUBLISH PROCEEDINGS.
City Council Authorizes Official Ac-
counts of Meetings.

One of the last acts of the old council
before it passed out of existence last
evening was to order the. publication of
the official proceedings of the council
in the future.
The matter was brought up by the in
PRODUCTION of a resolution by Council
man CLANCY, but Councilman Hughes
questioned theadvisability on the ground
that it would cost something.
Outside of the councilmen and a very
few Others" replied Mr.. Clancy, no
body knows what is done in this council.
We spend from $4,000 to S35, 900 of the
peoples money every month, and the
people have a right to know what we
do The newspaper reporters give those
things which are of general interest, but
they do not always tell when a new
sidewalk is put down and other little de-
tails 1t will cost perhaps from 81 to So
meeting to publish enough to let peo-
pie know what is going on, and think
it will be worth that to the public"
Councilman Nettels opposed the pub
licatiOn also on the ground of economy.
I'VE have a good deal of printing to be
done anyway" he said, "and 1 think
this is a good item to economize on
1T strikes me-" said Mr.. ROundtree,
that this is a false idea of economy.
We used topublish these proceedings un-
til a few months ago, and we only dis
continued them because the clerk had
so much other matter to get ready for
publication Now we are over good
deal of that and think we should be-
gin to publish these again. We never
have the minutes read, and not a coun-
Gilman knows how many errors may
creep into them. If we have these pro-
ceedings published we will be able to
know if everything is correct I know
always used to read the proceedings
very carefully. Besides that, people ask
me every day or two what the council
has done about this little matter or
that, and the only way for them to find
out the little things they are interested
in is to have the proceedings published
Councilman Hughes moved to refer
| the resolution to a committee, but the
motion was voted down by a vote of
| to 6. Councilmen Belts, Elliott, Nettels,
! Weber and Hughes voted ir the affirma-
| tive, and Blossom, Morgan. Benson,
| .Chaney, Warner and Roundtree in the
negative.
The resolution was then passed with
only one negative vote, that of Council
man Hughes.

The Topeka Club Teas.
The series of teas which has been
given Friday afternoons at the Topeka
club during Lent came to a close this
week These teas have been all the
more enjoyable on account of their in
formality. The club has been in the
habit of giving formal functions one or
twice a year, but these teas have proven
that the simple affairs are enjoyed fully
as much, and it is hoped they will be
continued for another season.
The teas have been for the club men,
bers and their families, and each week
four or five ladies have had the affair
in charge. Friday afternoon Mrs.
James Dunn had charge, and she was
assisted by Mrs. Bennett r. Wheeler.
Mrs. T. B. Dixcy, Miss Rossington, Miss
Fassler and Miss Smith.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

The greatest organization of tbs kind
to appear III this city is William II. Vests
Big Minstrel Jubiele which contains a
dazzling array of high class performers
and man novelties in stage effects and
paraphernana. For twenty-seven years
William H. West has stood at the front
in this branch of amusement catering.
The modest companies of a score of years
ago have given place to large organiZa-
tons, the unassuming first part has given
way to a magnificent scene and half a
hundred men in brilliant attire, and the
olio of the past has been superseded by a
list of famous specially performers.
whose salaries are greater than the cost
of the whole company in the days of
long ago The West typifies the spirit of
the name and is progressive. In the COM
pany which he brings to the Crawford
theatre next Thursday, March s. are Car
rol Johnson and Richard ]. Jose. one the
"Brummel of minstreIsy," and the other
Americas greatest lyric tenor" Fred
Warren, a very funny burnt cork expon-
ent; the threee Luken Brothers; the three
Marvelles; Tommy Hayes; David Meier
and many others. A special feature is
the magnificent rendering by great male
sextette of the intermezzo from the opera
"Cavalleria Rusticana" The perform
ance is brought to a close by a realistic
reproduction of the storming of San Juan
Hill, with special scenic effects. Taken
as whole the performance will be a
decided treat to all lovers Of mirth, music
aud song.

The bonds which were on the buildings
and the town are now held by the long
suffering eastern bondholders, and the
buildings have all been removed. Some
years ago an Englislrna-n who held the

Such in brief is the history Of the once
ambitious town Of Saratoga. The Wich-

AN of this county was at one time di-
rectly tributary to this city. The tearing
up of the line from Pratt City vest to
Mullinville was a very great antt direct
damage to the wholesale inter ests of
Wichita. It cuts off our entire tra,Se from
Kiowa county, which formerly c anne to
this city. The people Of Kiov7a county
can now reach Kansas City easier than
Wichita And yet the bonds voted to the
railway company are still a charge upon
Kiowa county and have 50 been held by
the courts. The people out there are pa

This roaring farce is truly, as the bills
put it, "a laugh from start to finish. y
John w. Jess and William McRobie in
their double work drew the longest and
heartiest laughs that have been provoked
in the house this season. John c. Leach

was well met by Ada Henry as his wife
They with Jess and McRobie practically
are the play. The others help out greatly
but are best liked for their speciality work.
All the music was good and the singing
well done.
The Gleesons were very heartily well
coined and certainly earned the great ap-
plause and beautiful floral tribute they
received. Their dancing, soft and wooden
shoe, was remarkably clever and their
cake-walking was also very graceful.
Mr. W. Wallace Black was a good Alkali

WILL. SEND EXHIBIT
Ex-President Grover Cleveland
Will Help Street Fair.
OLD SOLDIERS PLANS
Unique Attractions Rapidly
Added TO Program.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland, who
was lately made an honorary member of
the Arkansas Valley Poultry association,
has heard of the Wichita street fair and
writes to Otto Weiss that he will send a
poultry exhibit to the next fair. One by
one the attractions Of an unusual oharac-
ter are piling upon the program.
Recently the Wichita Reunion associa-
ton, by its executive committee, has de-
cided to hold the reunion the week of the
carnival and street fair. This is a happy
management for both the associe tons
and will benefit both. The officers can
work together and give Wichita the big
gest crowd for that week ever assembled
in southwest Kansas. Many expressed
thnseives last year as anxious to attend
the fair, but could not attend both re-
union and fair, while others that attend
ed the fair expressed their diSappoint-
ment at not being at the reunion. Cap
tain Burgess, president of the association
says 1t will bring immense numbers from
all sections of Kansas as well as Okla
homa, and that the crowds changing from
the fair to the Riverside park where the
reunion will be held, and from the re-
union to the fair, will keep things lively
and distribute the business over the city.
The street cars under the new manage
ment will be running and the attractions
at the park will be many and varied. The
advertising by the officers of both the
carnival and the reunion association has
already begun, and as Wichita is the
metropolis of the southwest thousands
will be attracted here and prefer coming
here to any other point. The courtesy
and public spirit of the people of this
city, as demonstrated at both gatherings
last year, advertised Wichita in a great
way and both the old soldiers reunion
and the street fair was the talk of the
state and adjoining states for months, as
both were pronounced unsurpassed and
the greatest ever held In the state.
The social and literary character Of the
reunion for four days last year was a
continuous feast of pleasure andi nstruc-
ton, and the same is promised by the
mana cement this year. From now on
let every citizen interested in Wichita
work for the success of these gatherings,
and if possible have them surpass those
of last year.
