PAINS FIREWORKS DISPLAY
Is the Greatest Spectacular Produc
ton in the Wcrid.


In securing the great spectacle, Paine's
famous Last Days of Pompeii," during
the fair this year Wichita ranks herself
among the cream of the metropolitan
cities of the east. Never before has st
been possible for any manager or com
mittee or commercial club in any but
the very largest Of the eastern cities 10
secure this greatest of all PAINS great
pyrotechnical displays. and il is due to
the energy of Frank Payne that it was
finally secured. He didn't say anything
about what he was up to, but keeping
steadily at IL, he managed tc secure this
great production which is without doubt
the greatest spectacular production in
the world. 1t is not to be compared with
the little shows put on by the Pain COM
pany like the Battle of Manila or the
Capture of San Juan Hill or the Capture
of Vicksburg or any OF the others.
Pains POmpeii is his largest and best
and most expensive. and the limit Of
managerial daring has been reached and
probably win never be excelled in a
straight guarantee Of $4,000 fer six
nights performance, yet the trouble is
expected during the latter part of the
week. especially in being able TO take
care Of the crowds.
The amphitheater TO be erected win
seat $3.50 people, and will contain re-
served seats and also boxes as well Last
year four men handled the fireworks.
This year it will take twenty-seven. The
grandest exhibition that any big city
can secure is this one, which is now
coming to Wichita. and it may be said
that IN securing It that in this one re-
spect she has proven herself equal to the
h;reest Of them

House members OF this committee
have intimated to the Senators on the

of Representatives can not afford TO
allow the Senate to dictate to 1t regard

Senator Elkins is very much inter-
ested in th9 effort to place New Mex
icc in the sisterhood of States. This
is to be expected because he spent
many years of his life in the Territory,
but there is another reason not so
generally known
When Mr. Elkins was a delegate in
Congress from New Mexico he worked
hard to secure the passage of State
hood bill and finally succeeded in hav-
ing the measure passed by both the
House and the Senate in the same
session. On the day that the confer
ence report was to be considered In
the House, Senator Burrows, then a
Representative. made speech. Dur

today and rebelled against their ju-

A. one. time the unusual scene was
presented of circuit Judge pleading
his own case and defending the ac-
tions of a colleague on the bench be-
fore the people who elected him. The
men who sat in their shirtsleeyes
throughout the forenoon In the hot
courtroom threw caution aside on nu-
nlerous occasions. Judges were &C"
clsed Of receiving money. To such
Influences were ascribed the acquittai
of men accused OF murder. Attorneys
were accused OF spiriting away wit
nesses whose testimony 1t was alleged
would have condemned their clients.
After several hot speeches Judge
Higbee got the floor and defended his
course aud that of his colleagues. He
was told that the meeting had conf
