WILL START THURSDAY.
Mixer VIII Go to Work on West Doug
las Avenue Pavement

The men in charge of the asphalt mixer
yesterday stated TO the Eagle that they
would begin laying asphalt on West
Douglas avenue Thursday morning. The
machine has been set up and all that re-
mains is to make some connections and
finish up some carpenter work, which
will make handling the plant easier and
more expedient. Steps are being built to
each of the platforms 10 make access to
the different parts easy and save climb
ing about in the machinery. The connec-
ton with the big tank of residium will
be made today and everything will be in
shape to steam up tomorrow morning.
About twenty-five car loads of asphalt
in barrels is on the ground and two of
the cars of residium are here, one at the
plant and the other in the Missouri Pa
cifc yards This residium is taken from
refined petroleum in COrsicana, Tex, and
is mixed with the asphalt to reduce the
brittleness
The binder course will be laid first. The
machine will run one day mixing the
binder course or crushed rock and as
phalt and will then run two days mixing
the wearing surface The binder course
can be mixed twice as fast as the wear
ing surface. as the latter is composed of
asphalt sand and cement. The machine
can turn out fifteen hundred yards of
pavement a day and il is of a superior
of any that has ever been laid in this
state and can be used the next day after
being rolled.
The West Side people will be pleased to
learn that the mixer Will begin work
soon. as the street is still in a very bad
condition, as concrete is not a good driv-
ing surface. and there will be a celebra-
tion when the pavement is completed.

DISPLAY AT ST. LOUIS.
Pat Healy Wants to See One From
Sedcwick County.

Pat Healey wants the business men of
this city TO interest themselves in a
display of the products of the Sedgwick
county farms and orchards at the worlds
fair at St. Louis. lie says it would do
the county and this city a world of good.
Mr. Healey possesses a good deal of
ability in the matter of collecting prod
ucts for a display of that kind. The
Kansas legislature in 1898 refused to vote
an appropriation TO aid in making an ex-
hibit at the Trans Mississippi exposition
at Omaha and MIR. Healey started the
agitation for a SedgWick county display
The Commercial club took up the matter
and induced the county commissioners to
make an appropriation of 500 for the
purpose of getting up a display.
Today Mr.. Healey thinks Sedgwick
county farm lands are several dollars
higher per acre and much money has
been invested in Wichita property on ac-
count OF that exhibit Corn raised on
the farm of William Mathewson and
selected by Mr.. Healey, was awarded
the first premium and bronze medal for
the best corn raised west of the Missis-
sippi river and Sedgwick county won the
prize for the best display of grain.
Mr.. Healey says the only printed mat
ter distributed at the fair was some
gotten up by the personal effort of o. Il.
Smith, but he thinks it would be diff
cult TO compute the advantages of the
display and advertisements. He says the
first land buyers TO offer $50 an acre for
Sedgwick county bottom farms were at
tracted here by the county's exhibit at
Omaha.
Mr.. Healey says that the st. Louis ex-
position is going to attract worldwide at
tention and that before this time Wich-
tia ought to have been collecting sam
pies for display at St. Louis next year.
He will probably bring this matter To
the attention of the Commercial club
and the Chamber of Commerce.

PRINTING OFFICE RAlDED.
Sscrchlight Office Wrecked by In
known Parties.

Monday night the Office Of the Search
light. which represents the colored popu-
lation of the city was entered by some
unknown person or persons and was al
most completely wrecked. Several hun
dred pounds of type were carried away
and what was left was dumped into sacks
and hopelessly pied. The office of the
searchlight is located over 10 North Main
street and the entrance was made through
q rear window which was found open
yesterday morning when the destruction
was discovered.
Mr.. Miller. the colored editor OF the
paper stated yesterday after he had taken
an invoice Of what remained in the office
that 81 full cases Of type had been carried
away and that l6 cases had been dumped
upon the floor. The greater amount Of
this was body type and the only type Of
that description that remains intact is
that in the forms Of last weeks paper
Three sacks which were used to carry
away waste paper are missing and il is
supposed that type from the 3 cases
was dumped into these sacks, dropped
from the rear window ana carried or
hauled away.
The searchlight is a weekly paper pub

pie of this city ana edited by W. y.

years ago and has a general circulation
among the colored people OF the city.
Mr.. Miller stated yesterday that he
made no charges against anyone and
that he would issue his paper the same
as II nothing had happened. that he

STATE TAX HIGH
Will Be More Than Annual
]. Expenses of County.
FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
County Expenses Lower, State
Tax Higher.

sedgwick county, like several other
counties in this state will have to pay
more into the state treasury this year
on state tax than it cost to foot
up ali the county expenses for a year.
something that never happened before in
the history Of sedgwick county and some
thing that is not expected to happen
agar. ne2l year.
There are. two causes for this condition
of affairs. The county commissioners
have lowered the expenses Of the coun-
ty something like 5000 and the state
tax has increased 115 mills, thereby
making an increase of approximately
SIS, 900. Last year the amount Of state
tax paid into the state treasury was S55,-
600, which with the increase of $19,00j
brings it up to $4,000. the amount to be
paid this year. The county expenses
last year, exclusive Of the interest paid
on bonds and the bridge fund amounted
TO between $3.50 and $4,000 This ex-
pense fund includes salaries of county
officials, county supplies. cost of running
the court house running expenses and
supplies of the poor farm. etc The ex-
penses OF the county were considerably
less last year than those Of the proceed
ing year and this year they are expected
to be even lower than last year. They
are estimated by county officials to foot
up at from ss5. 900 to $4,000 If such is
the case the STATE tax viii exceed the
running expenses of the county this year
by at least $4,000. Thus Sedgwick county
will contribute more to the state fund
than for her own running expenses.
In assessing the property of the county
this year the valuations were placed
higher than in preceding years and when
afterwards the valuations were compared
with those Of other counties the county
clerk went before the board Of equaliza-
ton at Topeka and asked for a reduction
of Is Per cent. This was refused and
the county is taxed on a valuation that
Is higher than in many other counties.

Police Court Fines.

Mayor Simpson today deposited in the
city treasury $4SS.75. This closes the
business for the fiscal year l9O2-OS, of the
Mayors collection of licenses and fines.
The fines collected during this year
amounted to $3,706.25, the largest
amount ever collected in any other year,
exceeding that of 1928, when it was
SO, 66O.25. The increase in fines col
lected in the Police Court now as COM
pared with twenty-five years ago is
strikingly illustrated in that the collec-
tons this month were in excess of those
for the whole year ending May 81, 1879.
While the collections from fines this year
were the largest in the history Of the
city, yet the highest average was by
former Mayor Strauss. An examination
for twenty-years back shows the growth
in fines, the yearly average being as fol-
lows: Former Mayor Johnson, one
year, S577 Kemper, two years, average
$4OS; Smith, two years, average S6l8
Beckham, four years, average 1913
SmoOt, three years, average 81, 629
Downham, three years, average 81, $40
Strauss, four years, average 81, 9l1
Thompson, two years, average 81, 337

His Last Hope Realized.
rFrnm the Sentinel Geho. Mont.


In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor Of this paper
was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came so bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect OF
the medicine was soon noticed and with
in an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for fortnight. That
one little bottle worked a complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.

hand suggests this item. For sale by

new hall last night, and from the iarge
attendance present showed that &c,

With the historic gavel made from the
Confederate ironclad Virginia, called the
meeting to order The various commit
tees having in charge the ceremonies OF
Memorial Day made their reports and
were discharged. The meeting was made
more interesting than usual by short
"reminiscences related by a number of the
members, which were greatly enjoyed.
The question of a closer relationship be-
tween the Sons of Confederate Veterans
was brought to the attention of the camp
by Commander Kemper and means to
bring about the desired object were dis
cussed at length, which resulted in a
committee being appointed to formulate
plans for its accomplishment. Here
after the meetings of the camp will be
open to the Sons of Confederates.
The camp .received and accepted an
invitation from the Seventeenth Virginia
Chapter, U. D. c., to be present at the
celebration of the birthday of President
Jefferson Davis which will be held at
Lee Camp Hall on Wednesday night,
June 8 at s o'clock. The members of
it will appear in uniform.
A charter of incorporation has been
applied for by the camp in order that
the camp may own property.

crate mound in Christ Church yard.
