The new building will face Douglas
avenue with twenty-five foot front and
will extend south on Main street seventy
five feet The material 10 be used in its
construction is gray brick trimmed with
Carthage cut stone The front will be
adorned with massive stone entrance
which will give the building a very i'm
posing appearance A cut stone return
will extend south from the corner several
feet on the east side, beyend which will
be two 14-foot plate glass windows with
prism transoms. These with the large
windows in the front will make a very

THEY ARE PUFFEp UP.
Building Boom Inspires West Douglas
AXenue PeQpIe

Property holders on West Douglas ave-
nue. are entertaining the hope that the
business center OF this city ike he
course OF empire, is going to move west
ward and they pretend 10 give a reason
for the faith that is in them.
West Douglas avenue Will pretty soon
cause the buildings on the four corners
Of Douglas and Main to look mighty
sQuatty." said Frank Swartz yesterday.
Wichita is growing all over. and nearly
all cities change their business centers
after they increase in population. and
you will see the business center Of Wich-
tia move west"
Mr.. Swartz is not the only man on West
Douglas who is effected with this belief
Mayor Mclean, G. W Southwark J. E.
Howard and George Ross are all begin
ming to put on airs about the future OF
West Douglas avenue. They believe that
the paving of West Douglas VIII give the
present building boom in that section a
boost.
One is inclined TO think this talk is all
hot air. but when he stands or the corner
of Douglas avenue and Water street and
looks az the magnificent brick blocks re-
Gently built north Of Douglas and then
gees down TO Wichita street and looks at
those built south OF the avenue he will
begin 10 think

There are other new buildings conten-
plated in this section. but most OF them

10 revolutionize the West Side. and that
the next thing people know new brick
blocks will be going UP west Of the Big
river bridge. He points out that the

Nelson, for the Friends has good con-

Gerald voIk Says ST. Louis Had Too
Much on It's Hands.

Gerald Volk and wife returned yester-
day from ST Louis, where they attended
the dedication ceTeEonies Of the Louis
lana Purchase exposition. Mr.. NoI
stated that the reports OF poor treatment
were not exaggerated. In private homes
il cost s for a bed, while the hotel
rates were exor5itant- Mr.. Volk was Of
the opinion that St Louis bit off a. larger
bite than they can chew at the present
time IN the way Of taking care OF a big
crowd He stated that Wichita, without
any preparation. could take better care
OF a larger crowd than st. Louis in pro-
portion TO the population There was a
hitch II the arrangements during the
ceremonies in the administration building
The company did not provide guards
enough 70 prevent the crowd getting into

letter from q broker in Avoka, Ark,
saying that the cold snap of Wednesday

and killed all of the apples. WichitArs

straw berries this season. The Texas crop
IS not CT the best and the quantity is
less than usual and with the Arkansas
crop cut down to less than half there
will be few berries 10 be had. The local
crop makes little difference in the supply
or the price Of berries in this city as

D0GGIE DIDN'T EAT PURSE
Four Surgeons Will Testify That
Mr.. Hamlin's Dog Is Innocent
of Theft.

Thomas ]. Hamlin's bulldog has proved
his Innocence of the charge OF swallowing
a purse containing $52 in gold and bank
notes. He was apparently much depressed
yesterday that he should be thought guilty
of such demonstrating from his mas
ter-and when the charge was brought
nome, wagged his tail in way that said
very plainly, "Seach me- And that is
what his master decided to do, not sc
rluch to get the money back as to save
the dogs life and relieve<him of the stig-
ma of being criminal if he was irno-

AS first step, the dog was subject tc
an X-ray examination. The rays evil
dence was damning; it showed a spo
within the dogs anatomy which apperent
ly could be nothing other than the purse
But the dog still protested his innocence

SOUGHT, SOLD AMp EXCHANGED.

So two surgeons, regular practitioners
and two veterinaries, were called in. They
went after the purse, the dog being put
under the influence Of chloroform. But
the purse was not there, and the dog S
innocence was clearly established. What
the X-ray seemed to show to be the purse
was a hnot of other things not easy OF
digestion which doggie had swallowed FOR
his nwr diversion. They had become
lodged in the dogs alimentary canal and
would doubtless have resulted In his death
had not the operation been performed
