GOT UP TOO EARLY.
Bicycle Bill Got Into City Jail as a
Result.

Nearly everybody in Wichita knows
Bicycle Bill, a young colored man, VINO
has received a great deal of notorlety
during the past two or three years from
mis- many escapades. No one seems TO
know what his real name is; just Bicycle
Bill is about the only name any one
ever heard him called.
Bicycle broke into the city Jail yes
terday Bill has not been in jail for SIX
months. and only a day or two ago ne
told policeman that de fly cops would
never get him again Bicycle said that
when he wanted TO have some fun he
went out into the country or down along
the river bank, where the policemen
never go.
But Bicycle Bill fell from grace about )
o'clock Yesterday morning. He had trou-
bles Of his own and tried to drown them
in red-eye. The stuff was good and BIZ
cycle imbibed a little too much and as
a result his sorrows few, and he was a
member of the joyful crowd. Bicycle
was too joyful. and when he gets to feel
ing real funny the thinks he is about it
and always gets jailed.
For some time Bicycle Bill has been
working for o. Stocker and opens the
store on North Water street in the morn
ing The store generally opens about I
o'clock. but yesterday Bicycle thought
ne would run the thing while on his
own hook. SO about o'clock he went
into the store, turned on the gas. started
the fire and started business over the
telephone. Mr. Stocker heard of it and
Bicycle Bill is in the holdover as jolly
as ever and seemingly unabashed when
an officer told him Of the promise to be
goo0. Bill said he Just forgot

HEIGHT SAVED HIM.
Boy Fell Through Air-HoIe in Little
River.

Charles Thatcher a 17year-old boy of
this city. is happy in the fact that he is
exceptionally tall. and but for that facet
he thinks ne might now be under the ice
on the Little Arkansas river.
Thatcher was skating on the river yes
terday near the Greiffenstein bridge. He
noticed two little boys on the bank who
were eXcitedly waving their hands at
him and trying to warn him Of coming
danger. He distinctly heard one little
chap cry: -Oh. don't go there mister.
but before he could turn or slacken his
speed he dropped through an air-hole
in the ice. His feet went straight to the
bottom. and being a tall young fellow he
could just keep his nose above water
level Had he been two inches shorter
he thinks he would have been drowned
The hole was not large and by holding TO
the edge OF the fee he managed To keep
his head out Of tho water and finally
crawled out. When he got out on the ice
the little fellows who had tried SO hard
TO warn him Of his danger had dsap-
peared, evidently having been frightened
away when they saw Thatcher disappear
under the ice.

INTERESTED IN SALT PLANT.
Orient Capitalists Purchased Works
at Anthony.

II is reported that the Orient railroad
or the interests backing il, have pur-
chased the Anthony salt works and the
name OF the new concern Will be the
Orient Salt company and with a capital
OF $4,000 1t is believed here that this
is only a part of the plan of the Orient
company in organizing concerns for the
development of the natural resources
along the route. part of which must be
developed before the company can hope
to secure much business.
The Anthony salt works were reopened
and developed by the Mulkeys OF De-
troit Mich. and have been sold 10 a syn
dictate Of men largely Interested in the
Kansas City. Mexico and Orient railway.
The present superintendent. Mr.. Kane.
viii be Retained and the business will
be managed by Mr.. Grant Easley, for
merly OF the KinSman Salt company
and large stockholder in the new com
pany.
The name OF p c.. Walton of Anthony
appears on the charter as one OF the
directors
With the Stilwen railroad interests be
hind the manufacture OF salt in An
thony there Is every reason To believe
il will be pushed TO its greatest capacity.

MORE FAIR WEATHER.
Snow Will Entirely Disappear During
the Day.

Fair tonight and Saturday. was the
way the weather man put 1t last night
and he has things fixed so that there is
no danger of his prediction jumping the
track. The weather men and the higns
have been in cahoots the past two oil
three days and are trying 10 keep the
lows out of the game, but last night 1t
began to look like a low would break in
after all There is a high in Idaho,
high in Utah and a high in Alabama, and
every high has its own little coterie OF
imps and is putting forth the best Ell
forts 10 squeeze the lows.
Canada has always been good place
for fellows that did not want to be
caught. and the lows have emigrated 10
that part of the continent. One OF them
got up a little extra nerve yesterday
and crawled up TO the border and peeped
over, and asked if it could come in The
highs said Mike" but the low was
backed by a blizzard and got in and
there is going to be trouble around 81
Paul. This low will rot affect the
weather in this part of the country to-
day, and all of the snow will disappear
and overcoats could be hung up OF
soaked this morning.

BARRETT
WON SUIT
Jury Returned Verdict in His
Favor Yesterday.
AGAINST Mr.. SIMMONS
Who Hired Plaintiff to Guard
Wounded Prisoner,

4 jury in the district court yesterday
brought in a verdict for s225 against
county. and in favor of Z. r Barrett
In September, 1900, L. S Osborne, po-
Iiceman, shot John Donshue. who with
another man, was caught trying to break
into Lilly's tailoring shop. The police
man arrested the men and while bringing
them to the station one tried to break
away and was shot by the policeman.
The wounded man was taken TO the
Wichita hospital and placed under guard
while the wounds were healing. barrett
was one of the guards at the hospital
One man was kept during the day ana
one at night. Barrett went to work on
September / and remained on duty I'M
til January b. 1901, when Donahue was
removed from the hospital.
He claimed that he made verbal con-
tract with Sheriff Simmons to the effect
that he (BarretD was to receive $50 per
day for his services and this was not
denied by the defendant but Mr.. Sim
mons claimed that he told Barrett that
he must look to the county commits
sloners for his pay
The county commissioners were in
Guided in the suit. but the case against
them was dismissed DN the court NtSlcA
day on a demurrer. The commissioners
filed a demurrer in which they claimed
that they authorized the employment OF
one guard but did not authorize two men
and hence could not be made party to
the suit.
The case was tried as against Mr.. Sim
mons and the verdict was rendered
against him.
After the jury was discharged one OF
the members stated that the reason they
returned a verdict against Mr.. Simmons
was on the fact that he had held John
Donahue in custody for over four months
and no warrant was sworn out during
that time. The jurymen claimed that
e sheriff had no right TO do this and
keep a man under guard without war
rant, and they also held that he was
clearly liable for the amount since the
court had released the county from any
further liability because of the demurrer.
The jury which tried the case was
composed of w. r. Doyle. Joseph Cir
rens. H. Schierenbeck, T. CT. Parham,
r. NJ. Gardner w. H. Sternberg. j. I
Cninneth. Tallace Cooper. L. f. Ro-

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED
Every Sufferer From Catarrh Knows

Powders, lotions. salves. sprays and in
halers cannot really cure Catarrh, be-
cause this disease is a blood disease, and
local applications, if they accomplish any
thing AT all. simply give transient re-
lief.
S. The catarrhal poison is in the blood and
the mucous membrane OF the nose, throat
and trachea tries TO relieve the system
by secreting large quantities of mucus

be an internal remedy which will cleanse
the blood from catarrhal poison and re-
move the fever and congestion from the
mucous membrane
The best and most modern remedies for
this purpose are antiseptics scientifically
known as Red Gum. Blood Root and Hy-
drastin. and while each OF these have
been successfully used separately. Yet it
has been difficult to get them all COM
