Toughs, desperadoes and anarchists

1t is rumored that John H. McGraw
will be named as member of the
board of audit and control by Gov
ernor McBride.-Tacoma News.
When a man can get $4,000 of the
county's money in his pocket and mot
know it," as McGraw did while sheriff
of King county, it puts us in a query
as to why he should be appointed to
such position. We see no reason
why almost "any" other man might
not be named. There are men who
have been weighed and net found
wanting. The administration needs
better props. The republicans got a
little wising up last fall by having
the head OF the state ticket taken Of,
all through the acts OF few anti
quated politicians who dominated the
state convention with their everlast-
ing rule-or.ruin policy. Discord will
never be eliminated by such course.

Much OF the unhappiness and many
OF the catastrophes of life come from
carelessness. 1t is carelessness that
sends trains crashing into each other
that starts a conflagration, that shoots
friend with an empty gun. 1t is
carelessness that treads on the toes oil
a neighbor; that deposits banana
skins on the sidewalk; that stimu-
lates the tagging fire with kerosene.
Ignorance is poor excuse, but even
this bad excuse seldom is to be plead
ed. People who must act like fools
are not Ignorant; they are careless
grossly negligent OF the little things
which so to make up the great. Each
person in this world has some mission
to perform. IL may be humble, but
the duty is to do it we'll. To do it
well eliminates carelessness as any
factor of conduct. The person who
mails an undirected letter deserves to
lose the letter and the confidence Of
the other person. The government
is almost too good when it maintains
an establishment for the unraveling
of stupid mistakes.

BRIGHTER LOOK FOR DUNKlN
Man Charged With Murder Given
Hearing Full of Interesting
Testimony

John Dunkin had his preliminary hear
ing in the city court yesterday for the
murder of his wife, and was bound over
10 the district court without bond. Judge
Harvey. in giving his decision. said that
he did not believe that there was enough
evidence TO convict Dunkin, but suffl-
Gent 20 warrant holding him over 10 the
district court
The hearing lasted for two hours, the
principal attendance being colored peo-
pie. D. Crewson for the defendant made
many telling points II his cross examina-
ton OF the states witnesses, who at
times seemed as though they were for
the defendant. Ar. Crewson sought 10
prove that there were no blows inflicted
on the deceased by the defendant here
in Wichita, but that she was beaten
only n Marion. Kansas. and that there
fore this court had no jurisdiction in
the case He also endeavcred u prove

dence
In the cross examination DR.. Jordan
testified. on the other hand, that the
abrasion on the. woman's neck might
have been caused by leaving mustard
plaster on too long.
Dr. Farmer was recalled 10 the stand
and about dozen bottles of medicines
trying TO prove that Mrs. Dunkin had
died as the result of q premature
birth; but, though the question was
many times put, none Of the witnesses
testified TO knowing anything of it.
Sarah Hall was placed on the stand
and testified that g. year ago she had
been down town with Mrs. Dunkin one
night, looking for Mr.. Dunkin, and that
they had gone TO a chilli parlor. when
Dunkin stepped up and telling his wife
that he did not allow her around such
places, commenced to beat her. This
occurred on Second street, near Water
street. Witness said Mrs. Dunkin hol-
lowed like she was suffering. Witness
says that she did not see the defendant
beat her within the last three months.
Grace Bardeau was the next witness.
and gave some very interesting testimo
ny. She said that some time ago she
and Mrs Dunkin and two fellows went
up to Marion, Kansas. where she married
one of the fellows. IN cross examination
witness very reluctantly confessed that
the four members of the party had rid
den from Newton TO Florence in a box
car. When they had been at Marion
=
sought out his wife. When ne found her
he started home with her and beat her
at the depot, so witness testified.
Richard Heck and JEFF Thompson
were put on the stand here, but testl-
fed to little of Importance.
Rebecca Brown. sister Of the dead wo-
man, took the stand and testified that
her sister, while down town with her
one night, said that she was afraid to
90 home because John Dunkin threatened
TO beat her if she came home without
first earning some money for him. In
cross examination she acknowledged
that she had never seen the defendant
beat his wife.
Spice Miller, a school girl. who lived
in the same house with the Dunkins at
the time of the death of Mrs. Dunkin.
testified that one day not long ago the
two of them came in together and Dun
kin had the round Of a chair Il, his hand.
She says that they went into tnei~ rooms
and as she was in the hall she did not
see them, but heard Dunlin slap his
wife.
Mrs Miller, the mother TO this girl,
testified that she had gone in to see Mrs.
Dunkin while she was sick and asked
her what caused her to have such pains
in her back The woman at first refus-
ed to answer this question, but later she
said that Dunkin had struck her in the
back of the neck with his fist and across
the legs with the stick.
There were three other witnesses of lit
tie Importance. The defense closed its
case with a declaration that no witness
had testified to having seen the defend
ant beat his wife at any place but Ma
rion, Kansas, and therefore this took
the case out of the jurisdiction Of the
Sedgwick county courts.

very interesting sermon on education.
He showed the advantages Of education
and what good was being done toward
Christianity by scattering the seeds Of
knowledge. AS man is better edu-
Gated the more he realizes the work Of
God. and the more he reverences them.
After the sermon an informal recep-
ton was given during which several mus

SHOE MAKERS
HAVE A TRUST
They Have Raised Prices on
Repairing
AND ALL IN IN THE GAME
Advance in Leather Given as
the Cause.

The shoemakers of this city have organ
lied a trust and have raised the price on
all repairs of shoes from ten 10 forty
per cent. They say that the cause of the
rise in prices is the rise in leather
which is unprecedented. There are nine
teen shoemakers in the trust and each
has posted in their shop a schedule OF
prices they charge. Half soleing has been
raised twenty-five cents and patching
from five to ten cents. Sewing UP a shoe
has also come in for an advance in price,
but this has not been so great as the
soleing and patching, as there is no
leather needed in this operation.
All of the largest shops in town are in
the trust. and they have formed a sched-
ule for each kind of work and they are
sticking to that price-list. They have no
permanent organiza ton. but every man is
charging according TO the list on the yell
low paper on the wall of his shop. There
are a few men who have not joined in
the raise in prices and these continue to
charge the old scale One of the dealers
stated yesterday that he could put a pair
of half-soles on for from fifty to seventy
five cents, UP TO few weeks ago, but
then he could buy pair Of soles for
twenty cents, but now he has to pay
thirty-five cents for the same grade Of
leather and all other leather he used was
up in proportion. He could not make
living wages at the price leather is now
and charge the same price he did before
the price was raised, so he was compelled
to raise and then the shoemakers met
the first Of the month and agreed on
scale that all would charge and what
they thought would be an equitable price
for their work and therefore would not
cut each others threats by underbidding.
