AN EXCELLENT

You had best make your way to
the second floor Of the First Ma
tional bank building (south end)
some Wednesday or Saturday
afternoon and join the Public
Library association. At your
disposal is a collection Of QUO
excellently selected books, en-
bracing all the standard works
and most everything worth
while in recent fiction. That
this library is being kept up-to-
date will be understood by a
glance at the latest accessions,
which embrace" GordonKeith" ?,

Under Dog which hardly need
be accredited to Hopkinson
Smith, "Patritia" by Lillian
Bell, lone Woman" and "His
Daughter First, all works in
their early editions.
The organization of this en-
terprise ia to be credited to a
few ladies, and with regret be
it said, it is only maintained by
their efforts. At the outset our
business and professional men
contributed generously Of their
means to the enterprise, but,
generally, their interest ceased
there. This is unfortunate, for
a library is a necessary adjunct
TO every good town, and espec-
tally one which aspires TO any
distinction intellectually, or
prides itself on its educational
facilities. This library ought
to have a hundred patrons
whereas it has not more than
so ard it not infrequently hap
pens that less than half-dozen
persons appear on the days
which it is open to exchange
books.
The fees, % cents a monsh OF
$3.50 a year, are very low, and
the rules simple. The books
are classed as 7 day and IA day
books. The latter may be re
newed at will, but not the
former, which are the newer
works and which are expected
to be in greater demand. The
penalty for not returning books
at the time they should bs
brought in is fine OF 2 cents 9

Wednesday and Saturday after.

interest displayed by our peo

place the library on a plane
where it would be self-support

TO TEST STATE

County Attorney to File Suit
Against |. w. Gill.
Of BURIAL ASSOCIATION
lnStition Has $500 Members
in This City.
OF BURIAL ASSOCIATION

County Attorney Eckstein has received
an order from Attorney General Coleman
TO commence prosecution against l. w.
Gill, of the Gill undertaking establish
. ment, for operating the Wichita Burial
association in violation of the state in
surance laws, and Mr.. Eckstein stated
yesterday that the action would be ccn-
menced this morning in the district court
Attorney General Coleman issued this
order on complaint Of Charles Luling,
state superintendent of insurance, and
the action is brought against Mr.. Gill as
president of the Wichita Burial associa-
ton, as 2 test case
At the last session of the legislature
an act was passed requiring all incorpor-
ated burial associations to make reports
to th, state superintendent Of insurance
The Wichita Burial association is unin
corporated therefore does not come IN
der that head. However, Superintendent
Luling determined some time ago TO bring
all burial associations. both Incorporated
and unincorporated, under the regulations
Of his department. and chose the associa-
ton operated by Mr. Gill from among
many unincorporated associations as the
one with which ~ test the law Mr.
Lulings contention is that all burial as
sociations can be regulated by the insur-
ance department under the old insurance
laws, which provide, in substance, that
any person making a contract in the ma
TUE Of insuranc shall come under the
regulations of the insurance department
The Wichita Burial association is one
of the largest institutions Of the kind in
the state, and if an injunction should be
granted against it, it would mean that
about 800 people living in and around
Wichita would be interested parties in
the case The association is said to have
that many members here 1t is not sup
posed however. that any of the members
would be greatly affected, because Of the
plan on which the business of the asso-
citation is conducted There are no stock
holders in the company and the original
plan of the institution was not that it
should be a money making institution,
Upon being admitted 70 membership the
applicant pays an admission fee Of 10
cents; then upon the death of a member
an assessment is made. If the death is
that of a chilli the assessment is s cents
and If it is Of an adult It is y cents.
Each member is assessed this amount
and the money accruing from the assess
ment is used TO defray the burial eX-

Mrs May Innes. an old colored woman
who says she is 105 years old. stopped over
in the city yesterday for several hours
on her way from Higgins. Texas. to Ante
Iope, California. She is making the trip
alone. At Antelope Mrs. lines says she
has relatives. While the woman did not
appear TO be near as old as she says,
there being bu. few wrinkles visible on
her face. there were other indications that
she was speaking the truth. Teeth she
had none. She is so old that it is almost
impossible for her to walk without the
assistance OF some one.

company, manufacturers Of soaps and the
only makers OF menthelatum in the
world, will leave shortly for Buffalo, n.

The firms business has grown so that
il is imperative that the company has
another factory. Travelling men sell men

district court yesterday, asking for
divorce from e. NJ Parrish, to whom
he alleges he was married in this city

has failed to perform the household duties

own meals and attend 20 the wants Of
the two children. He states that she has
absented herself from the home on a num-
Der of occasions and has treated him

The best OF Az medIcInes for an hupors.

yers that Judge Dale is not very much in
favor of permitting a man TO go at large
on bail after having taken the life OF his
fellow-man, but it IS claimed that he
considers it the policy of the supreme
court of this state to allow persons charg-
ed with murder TO give ball. and for that
reason they think he will rule that Balm
should be allowed to give a good and
sufficient bond.
Some of the ablest lawyers claim that
Judge Alexander did the right thing in
refusing bend at the close Of the prelim-
mary hearing for the reason that the
court having jurisdiction at the final trial
is a more proper tribunal TO pass on that
matter. The case will come up before
Judge Dale at oclack this morning.
and the proceedings will be watched with
a good deal OF interest.

VETERANS OF OBION
Graphic Account of the Confederate Reunion at
Rives From the Memphis News.

Lnelf IlFSl HdDleS. 1Hey all knew
him.
After the enthusiasm of the
greeting had lost its ragged edge,
the order was given for the yeter-
ans to fall in for the march over
to the woodland amphitheater,
where the days program was to
be heard. The order was quickly
obeyed.
AN IMPOSING PARADE.
The line of cray was nearly q
/ block long when the last "vet''
had taken his place, Commander
NJ. P. McMurry was in command
and almost all of the camp mem
bers were in uniform. At their
head was carried an old Confeder-
ate flag.
Leonidas Polk Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy,
Mrs. Sallie Breyard, president,
led the line. A white and ,Ad
banner foated over the devoted
band. Then came young ladies
representing the Southern States.
They were lovely representatives
of the Southland and wore dresses
of pure white, with red sashes
bearing in white letters the name
Of the State they represented.
The States were as follows:
North Carolina Miss Mamie
Barham.
Virginia Miss Helen Thomp-
son.
Mississippi-Miss Irene Moss.
Kentucky-Miss Mamie Nc
MurrY.
Florida Miss Ruth Tally.
Louisiana-Miss Nora johnson.
Arkansas-Miss Essie Caruth
ers.
Missouri-Miss Katie DeBow.
Texas Miss Kittie Mott Glenn.
Maryland Miss Virginia Thomp-
son.
Tennessee Miss Fannie McDow-
ell and Miss Vallie Field.
Georgia-Miss Nina Barksdale.
Alabama-Miss Mamie Brevard.
South Carolina Miss Ethel
Henderson.
The parade was placed in motion
at II O'Clock and the grove was
soon reached. Here a large tent
had been erected in which seats
from a neighboring church had
been placed. A platform for the
speakers and for the choir had
also been provided. Squire W.
B. Stovall officiated as master of
ceremonies. Rev. T. G. Lowry,
gifted young Methodist divine,
opened the exercises with prayer.
The choir sang America"
In the meantime the large tent
had been filled to overfowing and
great crowds stood outside to hear
what they could of the addresses.
Then the unexpected happened. A
pretty young girl, daintily attired
and perfectly possessed, arose to
welcome the host of grizzled vet
Grams to Rives. No budding po-
litical genius had been assigned
this task. The welcome was from
the hearts and homes of Rives
and Miss Leiron Bonner fttingly
gave to the visitors the keys to
the city.
MISS BoNNER'S WELCOME.
Miss Bonner said:
As we look out upon the few remain
ing members Of that gallant band of
patriots who answered the roll call in
1861, the mind is filled and animated
with emotions and sensations which
words utterly fail to express.
Allow me to invite you this day to
retrace the meandering tract of de-
