HELP ALL PEOPLE.
j. NJ. Dickey Says lnterurbans Are
Great Country Builders.

Mr.. ]. NJ. Dickey, of indianapolis, Indi-
ana. was in the city yesterday, and like
all Hoosiers talked pridefully of the two
most noted things in that state-James
whitcomb Riley and the great system OF
interurbaa railways that makes a geo.
graphical cobweb of that commonwealth.
Il am glad to see that Kansas-the
great western state of progress-is going
in for interurban railways too" said Mr.
Dickey And you gentlemen of Wichita
ought to feel proud in being the pioneers.
1t will give your city big advertisement
as a western city of progressive ideas"
Asked about the origin of interurban
building in Indiana, Mr. Dickey related
how the first man to build line was pro-
nounced insane and how, as a matter of
fact. he did become insane because pref
udice then existed against a step forward
IN Indiana. But it was only a few months
till the ideas Of the insane man were prov
ed not only to be practicable but profit
able. That man went insane over. or be-
cause of. an idea but the idea itself was
e sane and rational one that has already
revolutiouized the old system Of transpor-
tation and traffic.
If" said MIR. Dickey, 1.-The railroads
were to absorb and discontinue the inter
urban roads now in Indiana, there is
some fear, that to my mind are unjustifi-
able, the people would at once put new
interurban roads into operation by the
side of them so thoroughly are the people
attached to the interurbaR system. And
they ought to be attached TO it FOR it has
done much toward solving the transporta-
ton question in the interest Of the people.
'.one OF the paradoxes of the interurban
Eystem. answered Mr. Dickey. sis that
It builds up the small and large towns
alike 1t made wonderful city of In
diahapolis. but in every case it also
caused the smaller towns to take on a
wonderful growth. So far as / can now
recall there is not an interurban town in
Ipdiana that has not materially grown in
Reputation and business. In every case
they have outstripped non-interurban
towns Of the same class with the same
opportunities in other respects.
Mr.. Dickey is the private secretary Of
The famous James Whitcomb Riley and is
: here for the purpose OF seeing what might
be done towards making an engagement
for his chief in this city the coming win
ter There is great demand here for Mr..
Riley, but so far no arrangements have
been entered into with that end probable.

are indications Of possible showers for

the indications are slight but even a

relief after the intense heat and cloudless
skys of the past week. The weather bull
letin last night said Partly cloudy to-
night and Friday, with possible local
showers" the first time a bulletin of this
nature has been sent out for several days.
Light showers fell over the Missouri

may happen along the wet line within

another good Indication of rain.
The thermometer took a tumble yester-

mometer at the weather Office registered
70 degrees and at noon had only reached

low range of the thermometer yesterday
seemed very little cooler than Wednes-
day, a fact which was due to the great

A dry heat is not so noticeable as a hot
moist atmosphere. Had II not been for

would have been verp oppressive. but

states that the indications are that the
warm weather will continue until a good
rain makes its appearance.

INJURED In RUNAWAY.
Howard Spencer Is in a Crit
cal Condition.
WAGON PASSED OVER HIM
Remained Unconscious for
Several Hours.

Howard Spencer, a young man who
drives a wagon and delivers goods for
the Kansas City installment house on
West Second street. was severely in
5ured in a runaway on Fifteenth street
yestetday forenoon. When picked up by
STRANGERS ne was in an unconscious con-
ditiogi and after being taken to the Wich-
ita hospital did not recover consciousness
untig the middle of the afternoon. Late
last night it was stated at the hospital
THAT Spencer was in a precarious condi-
tioIgi, having suffered internal injuries.
T'he accident occurred on West Fiji
tefenth street and the ambulance call
was sent in from 100 on that street. No
One could be found who was an eye
iwitness to the accident and as Spencer
5Is still unable to talk it is not known
in just what manner Spencer was in
jured. He had stopped at a house to
deliver some goods and hearing a clatter
In the street turned to find his horse
tearing down the road. He rushed into
the street to stop the frightened animal
and it is supposed that when he grabbed
the bride the horse struck him, throwing
him to the ground. After ne was down
the wagon passed over his body between
the hips and shoulders. Persons who
heard the racket made by the running
horse ran into the street and discovered
Spencer lying motionlcss in the dust. He
cid not open his eyes and could not
speak, and il was thought for a time that
he was beyond help. An ambulance was
called and the still unconscious man
was taken to the Wichita hospital. All
efforts to revive him were without re-
suits and owing to his condition it was
impossible TO make q thorough exami-
nation Of his injuries. He rallied for
few minutes yesterday afternoon, but
not long enough to state now the acci-
dent happened The physicians state that
his injuries are internal and that they
are OF a very serious nature; however.
they have slight hopes of his recovery.
The body appears to have been struck
BY the wheels OF the wagon twice. and
both times across the middle of the body.
However. it is not thought that a blow
of this nature would render him uncon-
scioas, and it is supposed that it was
the blow given him by the horse that
caused this condition.
