BAND CONCERT TONIGHT.
Sanford's Band Will Play in Hamilton
Park at BIS

This evening in Hamilton park the first
public concert Of the season will be given
by Sanford's band It was not definitely
decided until late yesterday afternoon
that the concerts would begin before
the Sunday afternoon concert in River
side park next Sunday, but the commits
sioners decided that they would start
the music this evening. The band boys
were called together last night and made
preparations for the concert. The music
will begin promptly at 8:15 and will last
nearly two hours. The program will con-
sist of seven or eight numbers. Another
concert will be given Friday evening and
the first of the Sunday concerts will be
given in Central Riverside.
The commissioners have repaired the
Grei1enstein bridge and the drives have
been put in condition for use Since the
high water the bridges have been closed
to all traffic, as the drives were so wet
that a buggy passing over them would
cut deep ruts in the roadway. The grass
in Central Riverside has been cleaned
where the water covered it and the con-
cert will be given on the highest ground
North nor South Riverside will be open
to the public for some time. as the ground
is still very soft and the grass covered
with mud This Will have to be cleared
away before the parks will be fit for use.
The commissioners have not yet COM
pleted the estimate of the loss in the
park on account of the high water.
Many of the flower beds were completely
ruined and 1t will require weeks to put
the park in the condition it was two
weeks ago and a considerable sum of
money will have to be spent in repairing
the bridges and levees along the river.
Every effort is being made to get Cen
trial Riverside park in condition to have
concerts Sunday afternoons and the first
will be given next week The first con-
cert of the season will be given tonight
In Hamilton park.

TRAINS ARE RUNNING.
Mail Service Is Being Put in Fair
Shape,


Chief Clerk Reed, of the railway mail
service, has been a very busy man the
past two weeks, getting the mail which
had piled up in some towns. on its way
when train service was established. In
some towns mail collected for two or
three days and then was shut off by
floods and the mail was piled up in the
depots. When the train began running
again this had to be moved at the earliest
possible date. Carloads of mail were sent
over lines where small corners in a car
would have carried the usual run
Much mail collected in Wichita and had
to be sent east or west, as best it could.
The worst congestion was in points east
or Wichita where nearly every railroad
was tied up.
With the exception of two branch lines,
mail service has been reestablished TO
all points in this division, except possibly
a few offices served through star routes.
The Union Pacific between Salina and
Mcpherson is not opened and the Rock
between Harrington and Salina. Salina
has a train running west on the Missouri
Pacific. The first train over the Solomon
Beloit branch was run yesterday and this
was the first mail the people along this
line received since May IS. Many other
points in the flooded districts will be
without mail for several days yet.

WILL USE DREDGES
Mud Will be Taken From Lit
tie River to Make Dam
RAISE LEVEL WITH PARK
Committee Also Recommends
Widening of Dam

The committee of which Councilman
Davidson is chairman appointed by Mayor
Mclean to recommend some plan by
which future damage TO the city by the
overflow of the banks of the Little Ar
kansas river could be avoided, has prob
ably solved the problem.
The mayor and city engineer, acting
with the committee, have practically
agreed upon a plan which it is believed
will not cost very much money, and at
the same time will prevent all that part
of the city west of Waco avenue and
south of the Little river being over
flowed in the future.
The plans include the widening of the
river at the Central avenue dam fifty
feet, and the construction of a drive
way thirty feet wide along the south
bank of the river from the electric rail-
way track to Murdoch avenue bridge
The levy on the low grounds in South
Riverside park will be removed and the
race track raised high enough to make
an effective levy. The low ground about
100 feet between the east approach TO the
Central avenue bridge will be raised, thus
completing the levy formed by the race
track TO the dam and the bridge.
This plan to most people will appear
very feasible. BY raising the race track
sufficiently to form a levy will allow the
high water to spread over the low ground
In the west part of South Riverside park
and prevent its being forced on the water
works island while the widening of tho
river at the dam will prevent the extra
accumulation Of water in that part Of the
river.
Il is claimed that the condemnation Of
the thirty-foot strip for the raised drive
way from South Riverside TO Murdoch
avenue will not cost very much. as most
of the property-hOld favor the i'm
provement and will donate the ground.
It is the intention of the committee to
recommend the purchase of the neces-
sary machinery to take mud from the
channel of the Little river to build the
driveway. Councilman Davidson said last
night that by getting the machinery to
raise the mud the driveway could be
raised at cost Of cents per cubic yard,
while to buy the dirt would cost about
80 cents a yard. The committee finds that
North Riverside can be levied at little ex-
pense. This plan will probably be adopt
ed by the city council.
North Riverside is pretty well protected,
but the committee is expected to recon-
mend to the council the building of a
thirty-foot levee from the head of the
river drive at Eleventh street, along the
entire river bank to the Seventeenth
street bridge. The property-owners along
the river north of the park are very anx-
ious to have this drive built, as it would
protect their property, and it is believed
would considerably increase its value.
Many Of the property-owners have agreed
TO donate the necessary land for this
drive, and II will be included in the gen.
eraI levee work now contemplated.

Nicholson and gave a bill of sale on his
stock of second hand goods to secure
money borrowed. Samuel r. Leonard,
son of the deceased, was appointed adj
ministrator, and gave the American
Surety company as surety on his bond.
Nickolson's claim was allowed by the
probate court, but L. r. Leonard alb
seconded without paying the claim. Mr..
Piatt was then appointed administrator
and brought suit against the American
Surety company to recover the money
which L. r. Leonard received for the
sale Of property covered by bill of sale
to Nicholson. Judge Dale decided that
the Surety company should pay this
money, and the supreme court has now
affirmed this decision. This case has
been in the courts since 1895. Mr.. Sar-

GET new ENGINES
Street Railway Company viii
Double Capacity
NUMBER CARS INCREASED
And New Lines Make This
improvement Necessary

The Wichita Railroad and Light COM
pany mas contracted with the Arbuckle,
Ryan Company of Toledo, Ohio, for an
500 horse power tandem compound con-
densing Russell engine and a 400 X w.
Western Electric direct connected gener-
ator These are powerful engines and the
very best made.
Commodore Nelson and Superintendent
Morrison say they are going to make the
Wichita electric railway system one OF
the very best in the west. Arbuckle, Ry-
an < Co. have agreed TO furnish the new
engine in 100 days from the time of sign
ing the contract.
This new machinery will just double
the capacity of the electric railway. That
is, the company will then have sufficient
power TO run sixty cars, the present I'd
pacity being thirty cars. The immediate
cause of this increase of power Is the
projected lines on which work will be
commenced in a very short time.
1t was found that in cool weather the
warming of the cars by electricity re-
quired eightyfour horse power. When
the company was required to put on ex-
ira cars for the handling Of large crowds
it was found that the power was not suf-
ficient to do good work
Superintendent Morrison said last even
ing that this new machinery would be
great Improvement. He said the COM
pany did not hesitate to spend money
enough TO keep the street railway system
,r-s.L
would have power enough to operate the
present lines and the new ones which
were to be built this summer. The new
cars will be forthcoming by some time in
July or the first of August and the new
machinery will all be installed in about
three months.
