FOR MISS SUTHERLAND
Informal Reception Given by Kelso
Music school.

What was in reality a charming mu-
icale occurred in the rooms of the Kelso
School OF Music in the Sedgwick block
last night. Technically, 1t was an in
formal reception in honor of Miss Edith
Switzerland OF Chicago, who delighted
her listeners in a manner delightful TO
those fortunate enough to be present.
Miss Switzerland also showed her pleas
ing versatility by singing three numbers
well adapted to her voice. And l." by

closed by the beautiful "Cappricio Bril-

and touch that it seemed as though il

A dainty luncheon was served after
the musical program. which was also
tastefully interspersed with juvenile
readings by Miss Barnes. rendered in a
childish manner that is not easy for i'm
Personators to acquire. Miss Switzerland

TO BORE FOR GAS
Local Company Being Formed
With Good Support.
EAST IS MUCH INTERESTED
Which viii Make the Project
a Success.
EAST Is MUCH INTERESTED

Wichita is to have company to drill
for gas. For several days past a num-
Der Of Wichitas people have been dis
cussirg the matter and it has been
agreed there was no good reason why gas
should not be found in this district as
well as in many other lstricts all around
here. The region around Fredonia and
Neodesha has gas and oil and has had for
several years and all of the country
around those parts where any prospect
ing has been done at all oil and gas have
been found. Oklahoma is finding both
at every turn and from the various places
where these products have been found
there is no reason to suppose that Wich-
tia is exempt from the general good for
tune that is the general lot of this west
ern country.
1t has been shown by q number of geol-
ogists that the formation to the east of
the Arkansas valley is one that should,
from the experience of othe roll and gas
districts, yield a good return from any
boring that is conducted IN the proper
way. On the other hand, it is of no use
to drill in the valley to the west of the
river, as the formation there is of such
nature that a well might be sunk 10000
feet and then rot strike anything.
Gas has, at different times, been struck
in pockets, in several places and vein
of coal has been found in the past few
weeks on a farm TO the east Of the city
on the farm of Mr.. Dewey. This vein was
struck at depth Of eighty feet and has
a good thickness. These discoveries are
gradually becoming significant and the
local capitalists Of the city are now dis
cussing the feasibility of drilling for gas.
Mr. Naftzger, Of the Fourth National
bank, is one of them that has great faith
in the project and ne is interested in
forming such a company. He stated yes
terday that he would invest in the stock
of company composed Of local capital
lists organized for that purpose. There
would be no difficulty in securing plenty
of eastern capital to back the undertake
ing. is his opinion and also the opinion
of several others.
With natural gas Wichita would rap
idly reach upward towards the goal
that has been set for her and would
pass it in a very short time. Her al
ready large wholesale district would be
doubled N a very short time and sup
plenented by manufacturing establish
ments that would soon make the peer
less princess what she is destined to be-
core-the greatest city in the middle
west
It is probable that tire parties inter
ested will secure enough local capital to
start the company, and once started it is
an assured success.

PROTESTS GOING IN
Against Making Prison Out of
Court House.
is LODGING HOUSE NOW
Cots and Beds are Being Put
Into It

The county commissioners have moved
their tower Of London out of the tower
Of the court house down onto the second
for OF the court house.
The men who guard the interests of
Sedgwick county have been sweating
blood for three or four days on account
OF people coming TO them and protest
ing against the putting OF children in
the dark tower OF the big stone building
and they have had TO GO a great deal Of
explaining.
Mothers who read that story n the
Eagle about the little girl threatening to
jump from the tower. eighty feet to
the sidewalk below. thought how they
would feel II their little girls were locked
up IN that dark tower alone, and they
hustled their husbands or to protest
to the commissioners about the cruelty
Of the proceeding. Some different ar
engagements had TO be made in the inter
ests Of peace.
The rooms formerly occupied by the
clerk Of the appellate court are now being
fixed up for the children's prison and no

from the tower to the street below. The
object of the Kansas Chndren's Home
association, which Mr.. Stratton repre-
sents, is to take charge Of neglected
and deserted children and place them in
good homes, and the county commission
ers have finally concluded that a little
child who has been deserted by its natu-
raj protectors may have the same horror
Of prison in a dark tower as a child
who has a guardians care and the love
of its parents, and the tower has been
brought a story nearer the ground. Prob
ably in another two weeks the county
commissioners win conclude that Sedg-
wick county does not need a tower Of
London at all.
The two rooms have been furnished
with limited amount Of furniture One
room is intended for an Office for Mr..
and Mrs. StrattOn and they have prom
ised to sleep in the Office at night when
there are any children there The chill
dren's room is supplied with four cots
and two chairs. The commissioners did
not bring any of the bed clothes from
the jail, but bought new blankets for the
childrens beds.
The commissioners are not out of
kicking distance yet and VIII not be so
long as they appropriate any part Of
the court house to any other purpose
than that which was intended BY the peo-
PIE who built it. II was not Intended
for either lodging house or jaI.

THEY SCARED HIM
Supposed Leayenworth Convicts Have
Free Ride,


The porter on No. II, the early passen-
ger on the Santa Fe, was scared pretty
thoroughly this morning, and when
he reached Wichita and the daylight be-
gan TO show a little he was very much
relieved
He tells the following story, which is
certainly interesting:
At Newton when the train was well
under way after stopping at the station
he went out on the blind baggage, as
was his custom, to see that no tramps
were riding there, and found two. The
supposed tramps made him tend strictly
10 his business, as they would not allow
him to return to the cars, and moreover.
refused to be put off. They made him
keep quiet for some time. and finally at
one of the crossings they left the train
and ne was allowed 10 return to his place
in the train. He was very thankful to get
of so easily and is ready 10 swear that
from the way in which they acted that
they were a couple OF the escaped con-
victs from Leavenworth.
The tramps are taking advantage of the
scare that has seized the trainmen just
at this time, and are making some very
strong bluffs. The brakeman whose duty
it is to prevent them from stealing rides
are Just a trihe nervous about putting
them of of the trains, for fear they will
run up against the wrong man and get
the worst OF the deal.
One brakeman on the evening passenger
on the Santa Fe said that he was not
anxious TO run up against any OF the
gang" and would not interfere with
any tramp that he did not know until he
was pretty sure that he was not des-
perate convict.

Ths town was shocked and surprised

An inquest at the drug store this after
noon by Coroner r. S. Cannon and the
following report Of his death is taken
from the testimony Of c. 0. CARING

eight years. Last time I saw him alive
was 7:10 this morning. I had him in
charge since Sunday night, taking care
OF him. He had been drinking whiskey.
Can't say how much he had Seemed to
be better and asked me TO go home, and
said fer ne to close up the store and go
and get some rest. mat he would be all
right when I returned in the morning.
Locked 'front.' door Of store and went
home about O'Clock. Returned this
morning about o'clock and found him
lying on his face in broken glass, with
the house fun OF chloroform. Seemed
rational and all right when left him at
night.
THE broken bottle was a half gallon

reform where he could get it He had
asked for the drug during the afternoon
and had taken a bottle out of his case,
but took It away from him Hid all the
chIoroform could find. Have since found
where bottles came from. Back of the
