$4,000 Ballots NECESSARY
New Law Causes Work for the Sedg
wick County Clerk.

For the election this fail there had TO.
be printed 1900 ballots for Sedgwicl
county, whereas last election only 5000
vas necessary. The new law Of 1901
causes this great number, for there must
De a separate ballot for county and state
tickets. one for the township tickets and
one for constitutional amendments.
County Clerk Chain has received a form
OF the constitutional amendment ballot
this fall, bat owing to its inexplicitness,
he has arranged a ballot which gives
the voters opportunity to understand in
fun just what they are doing. He has
arranged il ia three divisions: first the
question concerning the compensation Of
tho members of the legislature; second.
the biennial election amendment to the
constitution. and third, an amendment to
provide for the construction and improve
ment of public highways.
The county commissioners will consider
and decide Monday about putting to a
vote the question of the commissioners
being empowered TO make appropriations
for certain bridges. Two Of these bridges
viii be the Derby bridge and one across
the Big Arkansas, at Twenty first street.

Over the Four Main Roads
Coming TO Wichita.
HOSTS CAME IN VEHICLES
This Is a Big Record NOtwith-
standing Rain.

That is the number Of people outside OF
this city who came to Wichita last week
to attend the carnival All Of the rail-
roads ran extra trains during the week
and ali the wagon roads leading to the
city were every day crowded with vehi-
cles and teams coming TO Wichita.
All Of these figures are from authorita-
tive railroad sources except for the Rock
Island, which are estimated. It is claimed
that the rains the forepart Of the week
kept many people from attending the car
nival. but the railroads say that they
brought as many people on Monday and
Tuesday when it was raining as on the
last days Of the week, when there was
no rain. People came. anyhow.
Superintendent Webb Of the Missouri
Pacifs said he did not expect so many
people. especially when the weather was
bad, and all their trains were crowded.
The Santa Fe has. more branches to
Wichita and they had plenty of cars to
accommodate the people but of course
they were always full. y great many old
soldiers with their families came in wag-
ons TO attend the reunion and the esti-
mate Of 10000 people who came IN vehi-
cles during the week is probably much
under the real number.
Wichita always expects big crowds, but
there is no getting around the fact that
the business men of the city were sur
prised at the great number of people who
came in. When it commenced to rain
people generally said the carnival viii
be q failure in point of attendance. If
people were not satisfied with the show
they did not stop to say so. They came
to have good time and they had it.

THEY SPENT
THEIR MONEY
Visitors to the Carnival Left
100000 in City.
PAPER TO THROW AWAY
And All Got Full Value for
Their Money.

Conservative business men estimate
that the visitors TO the carnival last week
spent Dover one hundred thousand dol
lars in the city. There We're at least
$500 Of them. and allowing each one
TO spend three collars it would make
nine thousand two hundred dollars more
than the above estimate; and where is
the person who did not spend three dol
lars?
The people paid over thirteen hundred
dollars for confetti TO throw away. The
sidewalks and the streets in the bust
ness portion Of the city every night were
literally carpeted with the little triangIes
Of colored paper. The ladies Of St Johns
Episcopal church sold the confetti. They
paid two cents sack FOR It and sold it
Tor five cents but they had TO give the
carnival managers twenty-five per cent
OF their profits.
Manager Nelson OF the street car com
pany said the boys on the electric cars
collected one hundred thousand fares
and transfers. Certainly not over half
were transfers. and that would make
two thousand FIVE hundred dollars the
people paved for riding on the street
cars. bat they paid more than that
People wanted 10 sec the presentation
Of the Last DAYS Of PompeH because
none of them were ever in Pompeii. and
they paid ten Thousand dollars for that.
The managers Of the carnival 90 not
tell how much they took in at the fair
grounds. but some good judges who
were there every day say that the people
paid twenty thousand dollars to see the
races. the roping contests and the fine
stock
The restaurants and hotels took in
plenty Of morey, but they earned it, as
did The street car company. The boys
on the electric lines were faithfully at
their posts from early morning till late
g night and # was wonder TO see
how they handled such crowds without
any accidents. The merchants took in
thousands of dollars during the week
but they pride themselves on giving good
values for the money
There was lots Of money spent ia Wich-
sta last week but there were good
many people to pay it. and what differ
ence does it make. anyhow? The people

THROUGH sNoWeANKs
Man Comes Long Way to See the
Wichita Carnival.

Wichita has had pretty cool weather
this week. but when a man comes along
and tells yoa that he has come through
a foot and a half OF snow to get to the
carnival, you are very, very likely to
think that he has taken too much con-
fttu. Notwithstanding how balloonish it
may sound it is true that s. r. Crusln-
berry. the expert for Mccormick, rode in
a sleigh in order to reach Wichita for
the carnival. His travels for the com
pany took him up into Canada. where the
harvest was on not long ago.

SHOT BY HIGHAWAYMEN NEGRO WILL PROBABLY DIE
 FROM WOUNDS. Robbery Occurred on Bridge Which Crosses the Central Railroad
 Beyond oakwood
 Cemetery.

Percy Pierce. young negro. was shot twice and seriously wounded last night on the bridge which crosses the track of the Central of Georgia Railroad just be- yond the cemetery.
 Pierce says that he was shot and rob- ed on the bridge for him. One of the bullets apparently from a 2-calibre pis- tol enter. his tower breast and took an apparently glancing course around the tieshy part of the tight forearm. Pierce had never seen his assailants before and the police have no clue to work upon.
 Pierce. who Is young negro employed at Winter & Loeb's, had been to an en- tertainment in the city with the wife of Ed Leonard who lives on Burgesss row which is across the street road from the country home of Colonel A. A. Wiley on the Upper WetumpHa Road. He told Special Officer Rapport and a reporter he had passed across the bridge with Ed Leonard's wife on their way home a few minutes before Il o'clock. He said he noticed two negroes standing on the bridge. but they said nothing to him when he passed with the woman: As he came on back, however, one Of the men. short. heavy-set yellow negro wearing cap, stopped him and asked for match.
 The second man, a tall black negro: the small negro that he had no match and started in faster walk. but the oth- CT negro drew pistol on him and said: Throw up your hands"
 Pierce says that he told the man. Don't shoot. You can get what I have with out shooting"
 In spite of this the biz hishwayman fired his pistol at Pierce and the bullet went into his breast. The second shot ground and the negro who had shot him said: Go through him. Will"
 The highwaymen took from Pierce $1.f5 and a bad 50-cent piece that he kept as a pocket piece.
 Pierce summoned up strength enough to run back to Leonards house when the highwsymen disappeared in the di- rection of the cemetery. Police headquar: ters was notified of the shooting and robbery and Mounted Officers Doron and Mcclellan responded with oficer Rap port.
 The police say that the description given bv Pierce of the robbers tallies with that of the two men who robbed Wood, the Lee County negro. on North Court Street last Monday night.

Primary Opposed by oficeholders.

Goodwater, April 10, I5O2. To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I am in favor of primaries, both State and County. While I believe the primary plan will be objectionable to office seek CTS and office holders whose terms of of fee depend on their abllity as tricksters and their ability to manipulate their con- stituents. but I believe the best inter est of the great masses will be more nearly subserved and the wishes of the people respected.
 The primary plan will give each quail fled voter in the State an opportunity to express his preference and thereby guar antee officers from our most substantial and influential men. This is my idea

Car ter, Jr.. to the position of Southeastern Freight and Passenger Agent of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe system in Atlanta. He succeeds MT. G. A. Dobbins who has been transferred to California. The rapid rise of MT.
