CONTEST OPENS UP
Much Speculation as to Who
viii Be Sheriff,
WHEELS ARE STARTED
On Probable Action of the
Supreme Court

A lively contest for sheriff has been
precipitated in wichita by a rlmor. The
rumor is TO the effect that the supreme
court of Kansas when It decides the BIZ
enniaI election law matter will hold that
while it is constitutional. it will be nee
essary for the governor TO appoint
sheriff for the additional year, and that
IN case the Incumbent has held the
shrievaIty two terms, the governor must
find new man; also. that it will be nee
essary for the county commissioners to
appoint for the interim recorder and
treasurer.
Though this is only a rumor, It has
started the political wheels 10 turning in
Wichita in the liveliest sort Of a way.
Four men are out for sheri if the decis-
ion transpires, Henry Schad, George
Cubbon, Douglas Simmons and Syl Dun
kin and Sam Randall.
The strange part Of the contest is that
the supreme court has as yet decided
nothing, and If it should hold the law IN
constitutional a whole lot OF valuable
steam would have been wasted. But so
sure are the contestants that the law viii
be held constitutional that they are los
ing no time.
If the court decides as they think, the
only election this fall will be for the one
Office OF county commissioner in the west
district. Governor Stanley will appoint
sheriff other than Mr.. Simmons. for he
has served the constitutional two terms,
and the county commissioners will reap
point Mr.. Kerr register Of deeds and
Daniel Boone county treasurer.
The active partisans look lot decision
from the supreme court this week. al
though at Topeka it is claimed that
nothing will be handed down Of fthis na-
ture until July. The appointments viii
not necessarily be made until next jan
yary

READY FOR EXCAVATION.
Buildings Moved From the Santa Re
Railroad Corner.

The work on the new warehouse OF the
Mccormick Harvester Machine COM
pany's building, at the corner Of Douglas
avenue and Santa Fe street, was begun
yesterday morning. The three old frame
buildings will have to be torn down or
moved away and the house movers are
at work moving the best of the buildings
The others will be torn down as they are
so old and dilapidated that they would
fall to pieces If the men were to attempt
TO move them bodily. The excavating
for the new building viii commence next
Monday.
The new warehouse will be three stories
high and a basement and will have every
modern equipment for swift handling Of
the heavy machinery. The company will
make this their distributing point for the
southwest and viii have an immense
stock to supply the large trade Of the
southern Kansas and Oklahoma wheat
region. The building viii cost about
$4,000 It Will be constructed of brick
and trimmed with cut stone and hydrau-
lie elevators will be put in TO take the
machinery to the different floors. The
different machines will be shipped here
in train load lots and then sent out to
the agents OF the company. A large
stock OF repairs viii also be kept in
stock so that farmers who break their
machines can procure the needed parts
without sending to Kansas City or Chi
cago, and thus long delay viii be done
away with.

Wichita Streets.
Since the proposition was made 70 pave
Lawrence avenue the matter OF paving
and the material best adapted for that
purpose Is being discussed a good deal
IN this city. People are generally in favor
OF paved streets. but the cost OF doing It
is a very important factor. TO pave
some OF the residence streets with as
phaltum or some equally expensive ma
terisl would amount 10 virtual ooRhsca-
ton OF the properly.
Afr. George K Spencer has given q good
deal Of thought 70 this matter and he

guubo streets OF this city make splendid
bases for a pavement. but be would net

mind that there might be some money
made on onions because there are so

he would try his hand at raising tomatoes.
He had an idea that the factory would
buy the tomatoes pretty cheaply, but
about the only cost would be in picking
and hauling the big tomatoes to the

there would be lots OF money in tomatoes

SEVERAL LITTLE MERCHANTS.
Lemonade Stands Now FIourishing on

The latest for the Wichita youngster.
and something that is being worked to a
finish by some few OF Wichitas small
boys who in some cases are after the

it, is the kid lemonade and pop stand.
There are several hundred Of these little
future cranberry merchants scattered
around over various parts OF the resi-
dence portion of the city. and every one
is a spieler Of the ice cold, right
A box or an old table borrowed from
mamma answers the purpose for the
stand, which is usually IN a shady fence
corner or, after night, out on the curb
Some thrifty merchants have secured
large advertising umbrellas and the Juice
joint is set under that. Not a person
passes but what is invited to try the pop
on ice or the ice cold lemonade. and a few
of them don't get away.
When the store is closed at night the
merchant removes 1t bodily TO the wood
shed or the spare back room and spends
the balance Of the evening until bedtime
counting over the intake or receipts Of
the day.
Ihere are nVe OF tnese small slands N
