Fancy chimneys Out of Date.

The old fashioned top chimneys have
gone out of date in Wichita. All the
new chimneys built this year go straight
up and taper at the top. They are less
expensive and better than the ola time
chimneys The fancy work on which
cost a good deal Of money. All chin
neys now being put up are built with
cement mortar above the roof. This wears
better than the old line mortar and hence
the chimneys last longer without neces-
sity for repairs.

appropriation of S5O,O For Constructing
Reservoirs In Wyoming Lost.
(By ,he Associated Press. J

Washington Jan. 15.-The House spent
another day on the River and Harbor
Bill without completing it. Twenty-six
pages were disposed of today The
friends of the bill successfully resisted
all attempts to load down the bill with
new projects and only one or two unim-
portant amendments were adopted. The
Western members labored unsuccessfully
to secure an entering wedge for their pet
scheme for the reclamation of the arid
lands, but received only very limited sup
port.
The Senate recommendation to appro-
pirate 81, 900 to enable Secretary of the
Senate to pay the expenses of the inau-
guration of the President and Vice .Presi
dent March 4th, was called up and preci-
pitated lively discussion because it did
not recognize the House as a participate
ing factor in the inauguration ceremonies.
Mr.. Dalzell moved to recommit the reso-
luton with instructions to report back a
resolution providing for inaugural cere-
monies under the auspices of a joint com
mittee of the Senate and the House The
motion prevailed.
The House then went into committee
of the whole TO consider the River and
Harbor Bill.
Mr. King Utah) under the latitude al
lowed in debate criticised mis- Democratic
colleagues for supporting immense river
and harbor bills because they happened
to contain what he termed pork in
which they were interested He charged
that the Democrats, not the Democratic
party, were drifting far from their old
moorings in championing appropriations
for strictly LEGAL purposes.
Mr. Mondell (Wyo) offered an amend
nent to appropriate $50 geo for construct
ing reservoirs in Wyoming for the purpose
of holding back the flood waters of the
Missouri River. The amendment also
carried an authorization for $165 900 to
complete the reservoirs. This amendment
was to be the entering wedge for arid
land irrigation. Mr.. Burton raised the
point that the amendment was not ger
name, which the chair did not sustain.
The amendment was lost-37 to 95
Without completing the bill the House,

A. V. Dockery: The message of Cover
nor Aycock was as comprehensive as
might have been expected from the lib

While a Governor should never presume
to be above the party which elevates him
to office. yet no matter about the party
he should always have a breadth of view
commensurate with and appurtenant to
the exalted office he occupies. Nobody
doubts that Aycock will fill the full mea-

Mr.. d. Fl. Mclean, of Harnett:
Governor Aycocks speech was states
