AMERICANS fl BULL FIGHI

 ly Brought on Collision.
 Fl Paso, Texas, March 31.-The us- uaI Sunday bull fight at Juarez, Mex leo, was accompanied by q somewhat unusual feature, the goaded bull turn ing the tables on the matador. Sey- eraI bulls had been brought into tine arena, but the amusement they fur nished was rather tame from q Mex ican standpoint There were many Americans among the spectators who were somewhat disgusted with the brutal show, as horse after horse was gored by the tormented bulls while the picadors and matadors escaped Scathless.
 This was all changed, however, when Jarligo, the premier matador, was preparing to thrust his long dou- ble-edged sword into the heart of the III LII Dul1 " ulCil Idu 4dSGO AlAs IL stood in the center of the arena bleeding from many wounds. Sud- denly the bull made quick lunge for ward. So unexpected was the attack that the fighter was unable to make the customary sidestep. He was caught on the bulls horns IT the mid dle of the body and tossed about like toy balloon. Before he could be rescued, Jarligos clothing was liter ally stripped from his body and his right leg and hip were severely lacer- ated. It probably will prove his last bull fight, as it is not thought that he will be able to step into the arena again as a matador As the bull tossed the man high ill the air, receiv- ing his body on it's horns only to again toss it up, the Americans among the spectators cheered the animal loudly which called forth storm of misses from the Mexicans present. and for a time it looked as though there would be collision between the two races

CANNOT DO BUSINESS.
Attorney General Hamlin Decides ! Against Investment Companies.

Attorney General Hamlin Decides ! Against Investment Companies.
 Springfield, III, March 31.-Accord- Ing to an opinion rendered by Attorney General Hamlin, investment compa- nies cannot do business in Illinois un- der the foreign corporation act as hum dreds of them have been seeking to do for several months past. Mir Hamlin says that the nature of the business outlined by these concerns brings them under the head of banking or 1oaning companies and that they can- not take advantage of the foreign cor poration act. Local authorities can now proceed against the agents of un- authorized concerns and it is believed that the so-called investment busi- ness will be stopped.
 After several such companies incor- porated in other states had been au- fhorized to do business in Illinois, there being no opposition to such au- fnorization, an investigation of the methods of the Concerns was instituted and it was found that at least some of them had no assets, and that there was little probability that they would ever pay anything to the men who put money into them. After this the sec retary of state gave instructions to the corporation clerks to refuse all future applications

The Umbria and Campania Conversed
 Although Wires Were Down.
 New York, March 31.-Wifeless com munication was maintained on the ocean between the Umbria, which has just arrived here, and the Campania, outward bound, while the formers wires were down.
 While the operator aboard the Um- bria was exchanging dispatches with the Campania, the chief officer noti- fled him that the wireless rigging at tached to the mainmast had fallen overheard. The apparatus continued to work, nevertheless, for some time.
 Signor Marconi, who is in this city, was informed of the occurrence.
 Tt is possible" he said, provided the vessels are not more than five or six miles apart. If the wires were in their proper places on the Cam. pania communication should be main. tained even though they were dis placed on the other vessel If the wires should be displaced on both yes sels, however, neither could receive nor send messages

SAFE WAS
NOT LOCKED
Man Stole About $40 From
United Sash and Door Co,
KNEW ALL ABOUT BUILDING
He Burnt But Seven Matches
in His Search,
KNEW ALL ABOUT BUILDING

Some time during the night man
broke in one OF the basement windows
of the United Sash and Door company's
building on South Rock Island avenue
and, getting inside of the building, went
10 the office and took about $40 from the
safe The big safe had been either left
open or the robbeE was someone who
knew the combination. as the big doors
were opened. The small inner doors were
locked, but the man took a hammer and
broke off the lock and thus got into the
inner part Of the safe The man must
have been well acquainted with the build
ing and office and he certainly had little
trouble in getting into the safe. for but
seven matches were burned and left on
the floor
Between thirty and forty dollars in
cash was all that was in the money draw
er. and this the robber carried off. a
considerable number of checks of high
denomina tons were in the safe, but the
man left them there. He did not touch
anything but cash.
The companys employees say that the
safe was locked and the combination
turned when they left the building Fri
day night. but the police believe that the
combination was not turned. Evidently
the robber knew every foot of the prem
ises, as he had no trouble in getting into
the office, and he either knew the combi-
nation or the safe was unlocked. There
is no Waterman in the building at night
and the man had no fear of being dis

WARNING
RESIDENTS MUST LEAVE NOZZLE
ON WHEN WATERING LAWN.
Otherwise Company Declares Meters
Will Be Used.

Superintendent Alley, of the Waterworks
company, declared last night TO a re-
porter for the Eagle that If the people of
this city do not quit flooding their yards
with the nozzle of the hose that the
water would be shut of entirely and that
the company Will put in meters. Yester-
day it was ,impossl..e for the Waterworks
engines to create any pressure because
everything was open. This did away
with Wichitas most efficient Are service.
Not only this, but many a man was
driven 10 the jug simply because he
couldn't get any water out Of his faucet.
So that the public. and especially those
hat insist on flooding their yards may
understand, Mr.. Alley presented some sta
dstics to try and persuade all TO keep
on their nozzles. With the nozzles at
tached fifty pounds pressure viii cause
n discharge of $50 gallons of water In a
minute. With the nozzles of 500 gallons
4 minute are discharged. The engine
last night on the island was pumping at
the rate OF S,Oo0o 900 gallons a day, While
in cities OF 5000 more Inhabitants than
this city. the maximum is 1900. coo gallons
4 day.
Mr.. Alley was very much agtated over
the situation last night and says that this
outrageous extravaganza of these people
must stop. All day long every person in
the city may water his lawn if he viii
only leave the nozzle on and give others
a chance. In most cities certain hours
are provided in which all watering must
be done Now let not the people OF tbs
Peerless Princess 80 abuse this blessing
that it viii be necessary to do away with
it.
Take this TO heart. Don't think. We'll,
John Jones VIII use his nozzle and it viii
rot be necessary for me 10 put mine on"
This won't do at all Remember. II water
meters are put in use, you viii have 10 be
one OF the victims or moro likely DO
without the pleasure OF the green blue

ceived bv Dcld


The first full carload of scales ever
shipped into Wichita was received by the
Jacob Dold Packing company yesterday.
There were sixty-seven scales. all made
on special order by the Fairbanks com
pany and their combined capacity was
nearly a million pounds.
Every scale used in the Dold packing
house will be new and of the best. They
were all made on special order and all

ing company on them and every one Of
them is enameled with zinc to prevent
rust.
The largest scale has a capacity Of
So COO pounds. 1t is a recording track
scale for weighing carloads and is one
of the best made. The smallest scale has
a capacity of only sixty pounds and will
be used for asserting hams and break
fast bacon. All of the small scales indi-
cate the weight with a needle like the
fancy scales used in some OF the grocery
stores and meat shops OF the city.
The most complete scale of the whole
lot is the Abbaitor scale. which will be
placed in the hog killing room. When
the hogs are killed and they will start to
the cooler on an iron rod they will pass
over the scale and the weight viii be re-
corded by an automatic arrangement and
when the killing is done. the clerk viii
only have to add UP the column of figures
to find how many pounds OF dressed
pork was turned out in the days killing.
Dold is not trying 10 save money in the
construction of the new packing house.
but to get the very best OF everything.
When the scales are received TO be placed
throughout the house. It begin TO look like
the house is nearly completed. There is
no question the great plant viii De ready

commences this fall. The finishing
touches are being put on and the machin-
cry placed and now the beef house VIII
be rushed 10 an early completion.
Superintendent Darrigrand said yester-
day that the new packing in every part
would be as complete as the ice plant.
The reporter FOR the Eagle knew what
that meant for Mr.. DarrfgTsnd has just
called mis- attention TO the fact that the
bottoms OF the ice cans could be plain
ly seen through the big four hundred
pound cakes OF ice lengthwise.
