READY FOR RUMMAGE
Collection of Articles for Union

Great Variety of Goods to be on
Display at tia Rink Next
Tuesday.

The interest in the Union Mi ssion
rummage sale to be held in the rink
commencing next Tuesday afternoon
and continuing for one week. is grow
ing rapidly. The solicitors are hard
at work making a house to house can
yass. and from reports received a dis
play of rummage will be made which
for character of goods and guam
THY will astonish the most sauguine.
The rummage will be collected
commencing tomorrow TO enable the
committee TO sort and classify it, so
that when the sale begins it will be
properly arranged and displayed and
the sale can proceed in an orderly
manner. The management desires TO
profit by the experience of the past
two Iummsge sales. and would earn
estIy and urgently quest all donors
of articles to at once gather them to-
gether SO that when the collectors
call there will be no delay.
Much time was lost heretofore by
donors failing To get their rum mage
t. gether, and the collectors were
sometimes compelled to call several
tiE es before securing the articles.
Besides the annoyance thereby occa-
stoned, the time thus lost reduced the
profits OF the sale.

to them. or others. Unfortunately.
and spirit of dependence thereby
fostere1. BY means of this sale a
spirit of self p and self-reliance is
engendered and the tendency 10
paupsrism is diminished. And
| lastly, to raise funds to carry on
the work of the mission, saving the
children OF the community and
changing the current of their lives
from conditions of dependency and
vicc to that which tends 20 usefulness

The committee would suggest that

called for at any particular time, q

time as will be most convenient. And
if any one desiring TO help in this
work should be overlooked by the

The Man with the Arsenal.

Charles Mcdonald, the porter at
the Monarch saloon in the Fulton
block across Perry street from the
postoffice building. was arrested in
Rock Island yesterday on the charge
of having stolen a fine target rifle, a
target pistol, two boxes of cigars and
an overcoat from the place where he
was employed. The articles were in
his possession when he YVES captured.
The question of the value of the
property will determ ue whether Nc
Donald will be held for grand or petit
larceny. If the goods are worth in
the aggregate more than $50 the for
mer charge will probably be brought.
Last night Mcdonald kept repeating
to himself in emphatic terms that he
had made great fool of himself

NO MORE SMALLPOX
Last Patient Released From Detention
HOSPITAL.

Wichita has finally cleared herself of
all smallpox. Yesterday all the exposed
cases were let out of the detention hos
pital and today the last patient viii be
turned out Of the pest house. The police
and health board have worked hard to
keep the disease down and so far have
had but very few cases. There were
five on the first Of November. AS soon
as the disease began to break out last
fall the health department adopted some
very stringent measures for it's suppress
sion and the matter was given into the
hands of the police department. Both
departments have done their work well
and the city is free from the dreaded
disease.
The health department says that unless
some one brings it to the city there will
be no more smallpox signs put out in this
city. Some times the people do not notify
the proper officials when the deisease
breaks out and this serves to spread it
as was done three weeks ago when twelve
men were exposed for five days before
the disease was known.

Valuable Art Calendar Free.

Perhaps none of the many high priced
calendars found in 5he art stores this
season will possess more real beauty and
worth than the Fairy Art Calendar for
1902. offered by the y. K. Fairbank COM
pany. 1t not only eclipses ali former ef-
forts OF this company. but it undoubtedly
excels all rivals in this line of publicity.
1t is, indeed, a work Of art AMI must be
seen 10 be appreciated.
Aside from the calendar proper, there
are four art supplements presenting ex-
Guisite figure compositions selected from
the famous Paris salon pictures, painted
by the celebrated French artist. Edouard
Bisson. Each of these pictures is faith
fully reproduced in all the beautiful color
in.ys OF the originals. They bear no letter
ing whatever, and are therefore suitable
for framing and valuable as most excellent
reproductions of 9our famous paintings.
Each is well worthy of beirg framed for
any household, but they can be used for
decorative purposes without framing, as
each is provided with fastener.
The y. X FairbanS company are mall
ing the beautiful calendar free to any
one returning ten Fairbanks Fairy Soap
oval fronts, or serding y 2-cent stamps.
Returning ten oval fronts, however. is
the test and surest way to obtain the

DEATH OF PIONEER
Postmaster S. T. Wood CT KremIin,
0. T., Passes AWAY.

o. T, Passes Away.
Bedford Wood returned yesterday from
Kremlin. Oklahoma, where he attended
the funeral OF his brother, Postmaster
S. r. Wood, Sunday. The funeral was
conducted by the Masonic lodge Of Pond
Greek and was attended by the largest
number OF people that have followed a
casket to the grave during the history
Of Grant county.
Mr.. Wood was one OF the pioneers of
southern Kansas. and no one was better
known generally than he was 90 years
ago. He was county surveyor OF Sumner
county for many years and had much 10
do with the surveying OF Oklahoma long
before it vas opened TO settlement He
also surveyed many OF the rownsites that
are now thriving business centers in
southern Kansas.
s. I. WOOD was man of fine personal
qualities. His. word was absolutely
guarantee Of good faith in everything I'M
dertaken by him, and when man said
that s. T.. Wood laid out lines and corner
stones, the statement was taken as an alb
sOlute fact that admitted of no doubt. He
was very genial in his disposition. and
was gifted with a great deal OF personal
ma gnetism. He was not fond of money.
In his profession OF civil engineering he
had many opportunities of profting b. his
knowledge of tOwnsite designs but he
never took advantage of them. He was.
in all that the term means, an honest man.
