which is used as a speedway just as they are
from certain drives in Prospect Park The de-
mand that the general pleasure driving puphc
shall be excluded from the chief pleasure drive
of the borough at the very times when that drive
is most used is a simply monumental piece of
presumption. Suppose that somebody should
suggest that Riverside Drive. or the East Drlvc
of Central Park. should be closed to the public
on Saturdays and Sundays! AS for the sugges-
ton that all vehicles except those engaged IN
racing should be compelled to use the narrow
business wagon road at the west side of the
parkway. that is simply grotesque- That road
would not accommodate one-half Of the We
hiclcs which now throng the great parkway
The fundamental error made by the gentle
men of the Pleasure Drivers Association is in
thinking that they are all or even majority
of the pleasure drivers of Brooklyn. They are
not They are only n small minority. There
are thousands OF others who drive for pleasure
not for racing or for speeding, but for pleas

Some go in heavy vehicles. family carriages and
what not with comparatively slow horses. But
they are all pleasure drivers, and they all have
an equal right to that unrivalled parkway.
They have amiaby acquesced in the use of n
part of their parkway by the members of this
association for racing purposes. and even do not
resent being directed by the policemen to keep
as near as possible to the sides Of 1t so as to
leave the centre clear for speeding. But just
because the general public is thus tolerant the
Pleasure Drivers Association should not take
advantage of the fact and presume too far upon
it. That parkway is designed for pleasure driv-
ing. not for racing At present it seems practi-
cable for it to be used for both purposes But
such an arrangement cannot permanently en-
dure Nand when a rearrangement is necessary

expected that in the Oak-st precinct he will be

In appearance there is no finer looking
man in Wichita than Judge Stanley: in
intellect he has not many peers He is a
classical scholar and in case Of sickness
among the professors OF Friends Uni
versity he is competent TO temporarily
occupy any chair. He has several de-
grees but he never uses them. Person
ally he is genteel. we'll bred courteous
affable and withal democratic. He is a
fine mixer. Ever since coming 10 Wich-
tia he has been recorder Of Wichita lodge
No. y, A Q. L. W, and is one of the
active members in the grand work being
carried on by that organization.
Judge Stanley is one of the remarkable
young men OF Wichita. and he is going
higher some day. He Will either go TO
congress or the supreme court some day.
He ought to get the votes of every man
and woman in Wichita who want a clean
honest. useful and enlightened judiciar,

GRATITUDE
WIDOW COMES TO WICHITA TO
HELP M'LEAN.
Case of Appreciation That Touched
Farmer DooIittle's Heart.

Yesterday a little woman dressed in
black visited two or three or more friends
in Wichita and Ben Mclean had two or
three more supporters before night She
was the widow of Bert Kell. formerly a
prominent citizen and stock dealer Of
Clearwater. Mr. Kell died a few years
ago and left little money which the
widow inherited Being inexperienced in
business. she scarcely knew what to do
with it, but in his life time MI Kell had
told her that il anything happened him
she could always trust in the honesty and
good judgment of Ben Mclean. And 50
she turned TO Ben Mclean for advice
when she became a widow. He invested
her little inheritance for her so wisely
that today she has independent means.
He never charged her a penny for his
trouble and responsibility as others would
have done. So without speaking a word
about her intentions she came to Wichita
cut of the gratitude of her own heart to
tell her friends of the sympathy and kind
ness of Ben Mclean.
One day about month ago a reporter
for the Eagle was talking with Mayor
Mclean in his Office when a prominent
Democratic physician of Wichita entered.
Mr. Mclean" ne said. 4 came to tell
you that 1 am for you in this fight to a
finish You don't know why, but l Will
tell YOU My niece has told me that you
are the most generous and best man she
has ever known. She has told me all
about how you have invested her money
and taken care Of it for her
The niece he mentioned is the same Mrs.
Kell.
Mr. Mclean will probably not know till
he reads this that Mrs. Kell is in the city
seeing her friends in his interest.
Farmer Doouttle, who met Mrs Kell in
her rounds yesterday said last night that
he would sooner have the expressed graf
itude OF Mrs. Kell, or any other person $
gratitude under such circumstances than
To be MAYOR OF Wichita.

WICHITA GOT THE CROWD.
In Spite of Lower Fare to Hutchinson
CurinQ Fall Festival,

That Wichita is the only place TO hold
a fair in this section Of the state is shown
by the following statement published in
the Hutchinson Herald:
.'E. d. L,t.le7eld Of Haven was in the
city Friday. Mr.. 1ittlefield is radical
Democrat and agent for the Missouri Pa
cific railway at Haven. He says that last
fall while the state fair was III full blast
In Hutchinson he sold few tickets. as com
pared 10 the sales for Wichita. The diff
erence In rates was forty-siX cents &c
Hutchinson and ninety-seVen cents to
Wichita. Hutchinson had the finest kind
of weather during the entire week. Wich-
ita had rainy weather while its fair was
in progress and his sales Of tickets were
SO greater for Wichita than Hutchinson.

WALLS ARE REBUILT.
Frisco Depot Is Again Under Con-
,strtction

Work has again begun on the new
Frisco depot and the business men on
East Douglas avenue who feared the
project had been abandoned may rest
easy. The walls had been raised about
four feet but owing to some inferior work
in laying the stone il was torn down.
Many who saw the workmen taking off
the stone interpreted it to mean that the
depot would not be built but after being
torn down even with the foundation the
workmen Immediately began replacing
them and the walls are now as high AZ
before and in better shape. The win
dow frames in the lower story are up
and if the stone laying continues at the
present rate the walls will soon be high
enough to give some idea of the building

est for Month of February.

In Banks Authorized DepOsi-
tories for County Funds.

Sedgwick county received s4s7.S0 as in
the banks OF Sedgwick county for tbs
| month of February. This is remarkable
showing Of the finances of this county
| Sixteen banks have been selected as coun.
" repositories and pay , per cent pei
annum on county funds deposited wit;
them.
For February and March the amount
of interest will be greater than for any
other months except July and August
In January the county treasurer appOr-
lions the funds received for December
taxes and the various amounts are de-
posted in the banks Of the county. Dur
ing February and March the funds draw
per cent interest March ends thu
first quarter Of the year and money must
be drawn for payment OF claims against
the county, salaries, witness and jury
fees. EXPENSES and for interest and priR-
cipal of bonds. The amount of deposits
remains about the same during January,
February and March owing TO the money
paid into the treasurer's Office.
In April. May and June the amount of
deposits decreases for there is COMPARE
lively little money coming into the coun-
~ treasurer's Office. In July the half
yearly taxes will be paid and the deposits
VIII increase and the amount of interest
to be drawn by the county will increase
proportionately.
The sum received for interest for Feb
ruary. $3.50, is by far the largest amount
paid the county from this source. The
county treasurer and other officials were
surprised at the amount.
The county deposits are larger now than
for a good many years past and this
shows a remarkable prosperity in this
county at the present time. III December
the people had money and many paid
their total taxes for the year instead of
paying half in December and half in
June. The treasurer also found that he
had less delinquent taxpayers than in
any former year. For days several clerks
We're kept busy making out tax receipts
The farmers had their pockets fun of the
coin of the realm and demanded their re-
ceiptS in full They had the money and
wanted 10 get the taxes out Of the way.
Many persons paid their full tax in De-
cember who had to scrape and pinch TO
get enough ready cas- TO pay half the
amount in former years.
The county treasurer Office was a very
busy place for a couple of weeks and
there was all kinds of money piled up in
the vaults. As soon as the accounts were
checked up the deposits were made in
the banks. and for the month Of Febru-
airy the sum Of $3.50 was added TO the
countys general expense fund. At this
rate, counting the decrease in deposits
for the next few months and the cores
ponding increase for July, Sedgwick
county Will receive an average or nearly
500 per month from interest on deposits
alone during the year 1893
