WICHITA TEAM WON
Business College Defeated Rose

Business College Defeated Rose Hill
The Wichita Business College team
crossed bats yesterday with the Rose Hill
team on the latters diamond, winning by
a score of 7 to 4. The Business College
team did not play their usual snappy
ball. on account Of the ground being in
rather bad shape, and number of errors
were scored up against them and their
opponents. The only phenomenal plays
were the running foul caught by Prof.
Price from first among group of bug
gies and by-etanders, and the high fly
in right field which was raked in by
Johnson with his left hand. Rose Hill
fully expected a victory after the de-
feat given the Black Diamonds here on
Thursday. but they found they were play
ing a different team before the game was
ended.
The boys were treated royalty by the
Rose Killers. and were promised : return
game in the near future.

LARGEST PURSES
EVER OFFERED
Will be Given During the
Wichita Exposition.
NONE BETTER IN THE WEST
Every Prize Is Large and Each
Is Guaranteed.
NONE BETTER IN THE WEST

The Wichita Exposition and Carnival
association are preparing their premium
list for the stock and agricultural displays
and the lists show the largest premiums
ever given in any fair west OF st. Louis.
Never before has any state fair in the
west offered such magnificent prizes for
stock exhibits President Dean, Secretary
Resing and Marsh Paugh, superintendent
OF the stock exhibits, worked all day yes
terday making Up the stock lists and they
have not completed this part of the list.
Stockmen find very seldom such prem
iums as offered in this list. No state fair
has ever offered $500 for the best herd Of
cattle on exhibition. or $3.50 for the best
SOW, any breed, or any boar. but that is
the amount offered by this association.
The lowest premium on cattle is 20 and
the highest is $500, and of the latter there
are many. The association is determined
to have the best exhibition of stock and
agricultural products that has ever been
held in the west. They know that the
stcckmen are perfectly willing to spend
money and time in fitting their herds
for this exposition if they know that
prizes are hung up that are large enough
TO pay them for their trouble il they
should win. Every stockman believes
that he has the best herd in his respective
breed and he will show them.
A few years ago a number of the fairs
could not pay their premiums but the
Wichita association is backed by men
who guarantee the money on every prem
ium offered Mr. Dean stated to a re-
porter last night that he would guarantee
himself the payment of every premium
offered and awarded if it took all Of his
real estate and personal property, and
other members of the association ex-
pressed the same sentiment.
The premium list offered is the highest
and best that any association has ever
offered in the west and every cent of the
money has been guaranteed. Wichita peo-
pie are not going to allow these premiums
to go unpaid. 1t would give Wichita a
bad name and that is something this city
never has had and never will have as
long as her citizens are as public spirited
as those who now do business within her
bounds.
Besides the premiums offered by the
association. a number of merchants have
signified their intention of giving special
premiums for certain classes of stock and
products. In some g ~cs these premiums
will be added to those of the association,
but in many cases they viii be offered
separately. Secretary Resing has an
pounced that all special premiums offered
by the merchants will be given special
place in the list sent out. giving the mer-
chant or firm, his place Of business and
the amount of the premium He has also
requested that all firms and business men
who expect to offer special prizes confer
with him at the earliest possible date and
make their offers as soon as possible, so
they may be placed on the list immedi-
ately.

MUSICAL sEDeWlcK COUNTY
More Pianos Pay Taxes Than Other
Instruments.

There are s1i pianos in sedgwick coun-
ty on which taxes are paid and 511 other
musical instruments. or these instru-
ments. $50 pianos are in the city and 2l2 in
the country. while 115 other instruments
are IN the city and 395 are IN the county.
These numbers do not include the
pianos not paying taxes and there are
many such, for until a person has 500
worth OF taxable property at the assessed
value or $3.50 by actual value. he pays no
tax.
OF the untsxed pianos Eagle township
has the most. II has 2T Of these lnstru-
ments and Valley Center township has &c.
According TO the assessors returns there
are no other musical instruments il those
townships untaxed. But the probabilities
are that the assessors missed a guitar or
two. No returns are made Of tn uataxcd
instruments in the city.
