DEEDS WERE FILED.
Mayor Ross Has Another Park Deal
CompIeted.


Mayor Finlay Ross was at the court
house yesterday and stepped high
through the corridors leading to the Of
fee Of the register of deeds. Douglas
Donnelly said that if he hadn't know the
mayor he would have taken him for a
man seeking a marriage license.
Mr.. Ross laid two papers out on the
counter before Mr. Kerr and told him
to write EN- down in his book in such
way that the record would be plain even
on the day that Gabriel blows his horn.
The papers were deeds that gives Wich-
tia another park; deeds to all the lots
that lie between the city building and
the Hamilton hotel. The deal which
Mr.. Ross has been making for some time
for this property is completed and Mr..
Ross is glad to have it settled before his
term expires.
Today Mr.. Ross win take street car
and make wind up of the nurseries to
hunt up some nice trees for that little
park. He proposes to have them planted
and nice grass sown before he turns the
city over to Ben Mclean.
A singular memory was brought to the
mayor a few days ago by Mrs. Hunter.
The lady met Mr.. Ross IN riverside
park and called his attention to a little
speech he made on the spot more than
twenty years ago. 1t was at a picnic and
Mr. Ross was called upon to crate. In
his speech he predicted that Wichita
would be so large some day that there
would be a fine park in that very spot
His prophecy came to pass and the ro-
mantle fact in the case is that it came
to pass through his efforts as mayor of
the big Wichita that he had predicted.

HAD STOLEN PROPERTY
Youths Trying to Dispose Of Lot of
Shoes Arrested.

Two boys, aged respectively 16 and IS
years, who gave their names as A. r.
Graham and H. R. Denton, and their
homes as Denver, were arrested by Of
hcer Pryor yesterday morning upon
charge of having stolen property in Lneir
possession.
Between them the two boys had nine
pairs of shoes and a lot of clothing WHOM
the police suppose they have burglarized
from some store out of town. When ar
rested by the officer they were in the act
of trying to dispose of a pair of shoes at
one of the secondhand stores on East
Douglas avenue.
They said they had arrived that morn
ing on an early train from Kansas City.
Harry Sutton later made further investi-
cation into the case and found a ditch
between the Rock Island and Frisco
tracks where they had concealed a lot of
other goods. The two boys win be held
until other cities can be communicated
with to see where the goods were stolen.

WHY AN EARLY VOTE COUNTS.
Political Forces Urging Citizens to
Vote in Eorenoon.

The political forces of the city are
again urging citizens and citizenesses to
vote early on election morn. The major
ity of people do not think that an early
vote is CT much value. But as a matter
of fact vote early in the day is worth
two votes late in the afternoon. The
reason for this is that as fast as people
their names are checked off and late in
the afternoon those who have not voted
are sent for. If nearly everybody has
voted there are fewer people to send for
and the likelihood of getting all the votes
in is increased. An early vote TO the
political organization is very Valuable on
this account.

Wheeler recently got a divorce from
his wife and the court gave her one
half of his farm and permitted him

wife has been making her home with
her Son-in-law.
Wheeler, it is said. has been inSanely
jealous of his sOr-in-law. Saturday
morning about . o'clock Wheeler went
to the tobacco patch where Burns was
working. drew Il revolver and fired
four shots. all of which took effect.
Wheeler then left his SOn-in-law in the
field for dead and went to the house.
He told Mrs. Burns her husband want
ed her to bring him a glass of water
and his tobacco knife. Mrs. Burns
started for the field and Wheeler drew
his revolver and tried to kill his di-
vorced wife. The weapon failed to

tobacco patch and saw Burns Stagger

up an AK. ran down the lane till he
met Burns. when he Knocked him
down and then struck him again on
the neck with the AK, Severing> the

STRIKE BROKEN AT BAY VIEW
Part of the Amalgamated Men Determine
to Return to Work.

Pnrt of the Amalgnmated Men Dete rmine
to Return to Work.
Milwaukee. Wis. Sept. 9.-The Bay
View meeting. after Il stormy session
yesterday, broke up in row. The
radical element left the hall. and the
remaining members, not quite half of
those in attendance, voted to return
to work at once. The question of re-
turning to work was debated at length,
and after each member had had his
say President Joseph u. Redfern or
dered n secret ballot to be taken. An
appeal was made. The appeal was re-
ferred to the vice president of the
lodge. whose duty it is to act in such
an eXiGency. The lodge waited fifteen
minutes, and the vice president failed
to take any action on the appeal.
President Redfern then appointed
tellers and ordered that a secret ballot
be taken, whereupOn the radical ele-
ment left the lodge in n body. The
radicals slightly outnumbered the con-
servatives. Those remaining in the
lodge then voted unanimously to re-
turn to work. The result of the meet
ing will undoubtedly be a split in the
organization here. Fires had been
lighted at the mills preparatory to
starting this morning. whether the
lodge voted to return or not.
Milwaukee, Sept. 9.-Thirty live of
TIE Amalgamated association men re-
turned to work at the plant of the
Illinois Steel company at Bay View
today. Many others are uneasy and
are expected to return in few days.
Pitts burg, Sept. 9-Not more than
a dozen men out of 500 who were at
work last week in the National Tube
works at McKeesport were able to go
to work this morning and the mill is
completely tied up. The men were
prevented by the strikers with pick
cts from entering the mill. Trouble
is feared.

woLMARANs IS rue INTERPRETERS
Says There Es Nothing to Do Now but Con-
tinue the Fighting

"The president means" explained
Mr.. WOlmarans. that n few months
ago there was a chance for peace. His
heart was heavy. He Grieved over the
sad state of his people. At that time
the English had not begun their saw
age policy. They had not destroyed
all our farms. They had not threat
ened to treat us as bandits. to shoot
us when taken or to Danish all of us
from South Africa forever. We still
had homes to go to. There was some
thing to make peace worth while.
Now all is gone. There is nothing to
do but to go on fighting, just as the
president says.
Il am not authorized to say that
had the English not violated all the
rights of humanity by burning our
farms. had they not violated interna-
tiOnal law and The hague peace con-
ference declarations by declaring us
bandits while we are engaged in hon
orable warfare, we should have had
peace proposals to make to them-pro-
posals which they might in honor have
accepted. Such may or may not have
been the case.
But all hope of that is now at an
end. We have discussed the matter.
We have heard from our friends in
South Africa. Anxious as he is for
peace. President Kruger has no pro-
posals now to offer. He believes what
he says to you. that in the end the
British will he compelled TO grant us
our Independence. Heels more hope
full now than he has bee,i at any time
since he came to Europe"
I asked President Kruger If :hs

Not the slightest premonitOry symp-
tom of peritonitis appeared, and the
fresh hope born with the morning

1t is very difficult to spell
phonetically in English the name
of Czolgosz. the miscreant who
shot President Mckinley. The
nearest to it is "Schawgosch,"
but this is not quite correct.
There is suggestion of the let
ter "T'' in the combination ''Cz"
at the beginning of the name
and the letter '.L" is slurred
over in rapid pronunciation.
The name might be phouetically
spelled as "Tschawlgosch." but
the sound of the ct" is little too
harsh, as the com bination "Cz"
is more like the German "sch."
The sound of the letter sd"
fades away also when pre-
nounced by native of Poland.
There is no meaning to the name
of Czolgosz.
