HE WAS A HoRsEMAN
One Man Held Onto the Reins for
Dear Life.

Yesterday morning a man who Is train
ing horses for Mr. Blackburn was cross
ing the street car tracks in front Of the
Wells Fargo express Offices on the cor
ner Of Douglas and Market. when the
horse slipped on the rails and the STUN
bling that ensued overturned the cart, in
some manner throwing the man out on
the pavement. and then started to run
away. The driver held on. however, and
soon succeeded in stopping the horse. IIe
was dragged for quite a little ways be-
fore ne could control the horse. and it is
little less than miracle that he was
not seriously injured.
AS soon as the horse had been stopped
the man turned the cart over. and after
adjusting things a little and quietng the
horse down. drove on rs though nothing
had happened. The way he held on TO
the horse. and the control he had after
he regained his feet, showed good horse

Mr.. ]. H. Turner. the West Side whole

warehouse in which TO store cement. The
new building viii be just west of the
present hay barn and viii be sixty feet
deep and twenty feet wide. It will be
a one-story building and will be used

LIGHTS FOR GREAT WICHITA

Henry c. Scott. president Of the Wich-
tia Gas & Light company is in the city
looking over the plant. He is on a tour
of his property and win spend some days
in this city. A reporter for the Eagle
talked with him last night about the
city and the future work Of the company
here. Mr.. Scott lives in St. Louis. but
takes great pride in the Wichita plant
He had not had very good opportunity
TO see the city, but from the reports Of
the local officers and what he has seen
for himself, he stated that Wichita was
the coming city OF the southwest He
said: 7 have not seen a vacant house
since have been here and there is a
good number OF new buildings going up
and every one has an air of prosperity.
The Gas company viii not be IN the rear
ranks in regard TO improvements for we
have just completed and put IN one Of the
finest and largest gas plants in the west.
It Is built Of artificial stone and the ma
chinery installed is OF the latest and
most improved type. That building was
put up at q cost Of $4,000 and at an early
date we will remodel the old gas plant
and Put the building in better shape. We
viii spend about 5000 in repairing that
building.
Wichita is bound TO be a big city and
in anticipation Of a greater Wichita we
are going 10 have all the latest and best
machinery that We can purchase. This
will Include both electric light ana gas
plants. We have found that we can
not operate the plant without better
machinery so the contract was let some
tire ago for q new dynamo for the cleo
4rie light plant. II should be here and
working now, cut the manufacturer was
behind. SO It viii not be installed until
about the middle Of next month. Work
men are at present putting in a founda-
ton for the new dynamo ard engine. It
IS twonty-seven by twenty-eight feet and
built Of cement and brick We had to
excavate a large area to put in the fouu-
dalton as the dynamo has to have = solid
base.
'sThe dynamo viii be ore Of the largest
and best machines made ana viii have
capacity of 1900 fncandescent lights. We
shall change our arc lights to the
enclosed incandescent arc light which
gives a better light and viii also allow US
TO use the same dynamo for both arc
and fncandescent lights. That machine
viii have a capacity 20 supply this city
with all the lights needed for a good
many years. It Will he directly connected
with the engine SO the les sof power will
be reduced TO the minimum amount.
When all the improvements are com
pleted. about $4,000 win have been ex-
pended. The plant at present. is being
run very satisfactorily and gives good
service to its patrons BAT the new ma
chinery wiz greatly improve if"
Mr.. Scott makes a visit to this city
every few months to look over his prop
erty and stated last night that each visit
he could see great Improvement in the
city. but this visit he could see a greater |
advancement than ever before.

Indian su miner.

AS we APPROACH that season of the year
which breathes the suggestion OF Para
dise-the mellow period just prior to
winters blast-much discussion is in-
dulged in regarding the origin and mean-
ing of In.inn Summer. This season of
pleasant weather, occurring about the
middle of the present month, is 50 called
from the custom of the Indians to avail
Of this delightful time for
second harvesting of their corn, and the
tradition is that they were accustomed
TO say ..they always had second sum
mer of nice days just before the winter
set in This season is synonymous with
the Summer Of st. Martin of Europe,
which derives its name from the Festival
of ST. Martin held on the 18th of No
yember. II is also the same as the Hal
cyon DAYS. of which Sarah III. Killikelly
in her "Curious Questions" says: "The
nhrase .Halcyon Days so suggestive of
peace. happiness, and prosperity, is de-
rived from fable. The ancient Sicllians
believed that during the seven days pre-
ceeding and the seven days following the
winter Solstice December 2D, the hal
cyon or kingfisher brooded over her
young in n floating nest upon the surface
of the water, and that during that period
the seas We're calm and could ne saiei!
nayigated by the mariner; hence they
cnlled them .halcyon days'-when, ac-
cording to Milton, birds of color sat
brooding on the chained wave. 80

NEW JERSEY DECISIONS.
Anportant Rulings by the Supreme
Court of Thnt State.


Trenton, N. j., Nov. 1.-THE New
Jersey supreme court has just rem
dered a number of decisions. The
most important one was that in the
case of Sheriff Virtue against the
county of Essex and involves the
question Of the custody Of prisoners In
the county jail. The court holds that
the sheriff is constitutional officer
and that one of his functions under
the county law is the custody of the
county Jail and that the legislature
cannot take this power from him.
This decision will put an end to the
practice which obtains in many of the
counties of the state Of having the
care of county Jail prisoners assumed
by the board of freeholders.
In the famous Graham damage suit,
which has been tried four times, the
court decided that 1t would not grant
a new trial unless the child's father
accepted a verdict of $1,000. The last
verdict was for $1,S00. In previous
trials a verdict of $1,000 was rendered
but in each case was set aside on the
ground that a child's life did not have
that pecuniary value to its parents.
In Long Branch license case the
court held that under the inn and tav
ern act licenses can only be granted
on the first day of court, or at som'
subsequent time fixed on that day. /
also held that the restriction agains
reapplying within year only refer
to the same place.

CONDITIONS IN China
Minister WI and Secretary Hay Hold
{ Long Conference.
DISCUSS DEATH OF CHANG.
American Representative Not Named
Yet ON Committee of Bankers at
Shanghai Who Are to Handle
the Indemnity Funds.

Washington, Nov. 11.-It is under
stood here that Chan Yen Tung has
been appointed to succeed Yuan Shi
Kai as governor Of the Chinese prov
ince of Shangtung. Not much is known
here of Chan's personality save that
he is q civil -ervice man and not a sol
dier. He is understood also to have
been only recently appointed director
of transportation, a very important
post in China.
Minister WI has had long talk with
Secretary Hay respecting the condi.
tions in China resulting from Ii Hung
Chang's death. The minister has not
yet been advised officially of the re.
ported purpose Of his government to
relieve him at Washington. He has
had no overtures from any responsible
educational institution in America look
ing to his becoming member of the
faculty.
The United States so far has no
named its representative on the com
mittee of bankers at Shanghai who arr
to act as the collectors and distributor.
of the international indemnity fund o
450,000,000 taels with interest. The de
lay in the case of this government i
caused by the absence of any American
bank in China. Unless American finan
ciers can become interested in this sub
ject to the extent of opening bank Il
the orient, the United States probabl
will be obliged to name a British fisca
agent. A threat to trade is said to b
involved in such selection, in view Q
the fact that at least three other na
tions, parties to the protocol are likel
to make the same choice, thereby plat
ing an enormous and unusual power G

COMMENT ON LODGES SPEECH.
Pail Mall Gazette Sees No Cause For
English Complaint.


London, Nov. 1.-THE Pail Mall Ga
zette. referring to a speech made by
Senator Lodge at Boston on Saturday,
in which he discussed reciprocity, the
Monroe doctrine and advocated early
action on the new treaty with Eng
land and the passage of an isthmus ca
nal bill, says:
IF, as believed, Mr.. Lodges speech
reveals the mind of President Roose-
Welt, this country will have nothing to
complain of. The isthmian business
will be settled next year in manner
honorable and satisfactory to both
countries, which means, we presume,
that America will get her own way In
the matter
"The Monroe doctrine is to be sternly
upheld by great navy, If need be-
| This is in the interests of peace. AS
the Monroe doctrine does not affect
that part of the American continent
which belongs to the British empire
the announcement will cause no fric
| ton"
