ANCIENT TUG OF WAR
Will Be Feature of Labor Day
Celebration.
MANY FLOATS IN PARADE
Merchants and Manufacturers
Are Taking Hold of This.

The committee in charge of the Labor
day celebration have arranged for a tug
of war as one of the features of the sports
for that day. This is something that has
has been given but few times in the
country. 1t one OF the old Grecian and
Roman sports and it is said to be very in
teresting Captains are to be chosen from
some labor organizations and these will
select the strongest men in their respect
i've organiza tons. y good big rope will be
procured and the two teams will match
their strength. An equal number of men
will be chosen on either side and the tug
ging and hauling of the crowd furnishes
very entertaining sport and the prize
which will be hung up for the winning
team is large enough to cause good con-
test of strength.
The merchants of the city are taking
hold of the float privilege of the parade
and practically every merchant in the city
who employs union clerks and several of
the organizations will have floats of their
own and all of the different organizations
of this and a number of other cities will
be represented in appropriate uniforms
The Transfers Union has made ar
engagements to have over seventy-nve
teams in line. OF course the floats will
have to be hauled but the teams that are
not used for this will be in line. This will
make quite a parade in itself
Advance men were sent out over the
country the first Of the week posting bills
in every town in southern Kansas and
Oklahoma The celebration this year is
the best advertised one ever held here
and the committee have announced that
they will have a larger parade and bet
ter one and also a better line of sports
and attractions for the afternoon.
There will be some very beautiful floats
in the parade and the exercises in the
park will be first class and interesting.
Inc day will be a holiday in the city and
in other cities and several labor organiza-
lions from out of town have made ar
rangements to attend and will add their
strength to the parade. The Newton and
several out of town bands have been in
vited TO participate in addition to the
bands of this city. This insures plenty
of music for the parade and also the ex-
ercises in the park
The executive committee which is TAX
ing care of the celebration is composed of
delegates from each labor organization
of this city. They meet every Monday
evening and during the progress of the
arrangements have met with such en-
couragement that they are assured of the
finest celebration ever held in this city on
Labor day

SEVENTY=SEVEN
REAL ESTATE BROKERS IN CITY
HAVE PAID LICENSE.
Police Department Has Collected
Nearly $500.

The police department which has been
collecting the licenses of the real estate
brokers. life insurance companies. pool
and billiard rooms, bucket shops and
other concerns which come under the
license ordinance have collected the Ii
censes from seventy-seven real estate
brokers. There seems to be plenty of real
estate changing hands in this city and
this business supports a goodly number
of men The license is only two dollars
and a half for six months, but the officers
are after every dealer who has shingle
over his door announcing that he handles
real estate. While they have not quite
finished their work they expect the num-
Der of real estate dealers in the city to
be little less than one hundred The
brokers seem to be enjoying a good trade,
not in the number of sales they are max
ing, for during the past few weeks the
business has been rather dull but most of
the brokers have a large amount of prop
erty to take care of for non-residents and
this keeps number of them busy.
1t takes forty real estate license to make
hundred dollars for the city. so that
the amount the city derives from these
licenses is rather small.
The police DEPARTMENT has collected
nearly fifteen hundred dollars since they
went TO work two weeks ago, and a larger
number of brokers and agents have paid
up than ever before. The officers had to
arrest two real estate men and insurance
agents because they refused to pay the
license, but the police Judge fined them
the amount of their license for the past
six months and they paid the license tor
the next half wear

WILL MEET AT NEWKIRK.
To Form Ten Club Interstate Bowling
League.

Representatives from ten Oklahoma
and southern Kansas cities including
Wichita will meet at Newkirk soon to
organize a bowling league. The cities
which will be represented at the meeting
are Wichita, Winfield. Arkansas City.
Newkirk, Guthrie, Oklahoma City, Nor
man, FL Reno and Shawnee. The owners
of the bowling alleys in these cities
have expressed themselves as heartily in
favor of the Interstate Bowling league
and it is practically certain that it will
be organized.
Layton of Oklahoma City has been
most active in the movement for the
formation of the league and in the next
few days a communication is expected
from him notifying the Vencedora peo-
pie of the date on which the meeting
will be held. Most of the plans for the
league have been agreed upon in cor
respondence between various teams and
at the Newkirk meeting it is thought
that all will readily agree upon the
same arrangement and that the purpose
of the meeting viii be to organize along
the lines already mapped out.
The league will embrace clubs from
the ten cities and in its workings It will
be much the same as a baseball league.
Each club will play a series at home and
will then visit the other teams. The
teams will play for percentage of the
gate receipts. The home team making
a guarantee of ten dollars a day to the
visitors. Each team VIII be composed
Of three players, and as in most bowling
contests each team will bolw thirty
frames. the one securing the highest
number of pins being the winner The
percentage viii be kept according to the
number of games won or lost as in base
ball leagues and not according to tn
total number of pins secured. It is
thought that the season viii open about
the first OF October and viii last about
four months. The team securing the
pennant will also receive some valuable
prizes.
The vencedora people IN this city are
heartily IN favor OF the league. and IL
it is a go as seems almost certain now
there viii be a series OF contests In this
city at least every TWO weeks. After
the organization OF the Interstate league
q the Newkirk meeting. local contests
viii be held in this city 70 determine

Pleaded Guilty.
AS a sequel TO the joint smashing at
iDerby last Friday seven women from
that little town We're arraigned in the
city court before Judge Alexander yes

kansas. They We're fined $40 and costs.
which their husbands paid Immediately.
and The loyal temperance band departed
for their homes at Derby.
The trouble had its beginning last week
when the ladies of that town raided the
only joint in the place. 1t was stated
yesterday that the ladies went to the
Joint, loaded the liquors into a wagon
and took them to the Santa Fe depot.
and notified the proprietor that it would
be advisable for him 10 leave the city
within the next few hours. Monday T
II. Mahan who is said TO have had some
Interest IN the joint, in company with
his attorney. s 3. Amidon, rode down
10 Derby in an automobile for the pur-
pose Of settling matters there The
lseies of the city heard OF their coming
and prepared 2 warm reception for them
in theh way of eggs of an ancient varie-
~. After notifying the chaffuer that
unless he wanted TO clean up a badly
Despatched auto he had better back out
II is said that the ladies turned their at
sention 70 Mr.. Mahan and his attorney

and made it so warm for them that they
made flying trip back TO Wichita.
Mr. Mahan had warrants made out yes
terday for the following women all Of
whom live at Derby, with the exception
of Mrs McHenry, who lives in this
city: Mrs. Dora Wardell, Mrs. Mitchell,
Mrs. Lake, Mrs. Braden. Mrs. Wykoff,
Mrs. Freeman, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Nc
Henry, Mrs. Sloat and Mrs. Jones. Mar
shall Thos. Yoss went to Derby yester
day forenoon and notified the ladies 10
appear in the city court yesterday after-
noon for the preliminary hearing. All
were present with the exception Of Mrs.
McHenry when court opened. The cases
against Mrs. Sloat and Mrs. Jones were
dismissed and the other ladies plead
guilty to the charge of assauting Mr..
Mahan. When they first arrived in the
city the husbands OF the ladies stated
that they would fight the case but on
the advise of their counsel, Homer Wells,
they decided that it would be better
policy to plead guilty and settle the
matter. After a short talk in which he
cautioned them against taking the law
in their own hands, Judge Alexander
stated that he would have to fine them
each SO and costs for their proceedings.
He stated that the maximum penalty in
such a case was a fine OF $500 and one
year in Jail. The court room was filed
with persons interested in the issue of the
hearing. many of whom sympathiZed
with the ladies and coming from the best
families In that section Of the country.
The manner in which they conducted
themselves yesterday showed that they
were sincere in their action and that
their only wish was to rid their little
town of nuisance and a menace to the
lives of their bows

Big SHOW SECURED
Parkers Aggregation viii Be
Here During Fair.
OVER 20 ATTRACTIONS
Are in This One Great Com
bination.

Parkers Combined Shows have beer
secured for the fair this fall. This show
has twenty-five large carnival attrac
lions and is the biggest and most varied
aggregation of its kind in the country
All of the shows are new and up-to-date
and with Parker's Consolidated Shows as
a nucleus Wichita is assured of having
the best carnival attractions that viii be
seen in the west this fall
H. L. Resting, secretary Of the South
ern Kansas Fair and Carnival associa-
ton. received a telegram yesterday from
Beardstown H., from c. NJ Irwin. stat
ing that he had secured Parker's shows
and several other excellent attractions
for the fair The Parker shows consist of
fifteen shows and seven excellent free at
fractions. There are few carnival at
fractions that are not represented in
these shows and each is claimed to be
the best in its respective class. The
Shows embrace so extensive a field that
all tastes can be satisfied. There are
electrical palaces. loop the loop, the am
s1hitheater, midget merry go-round and
ing to life, optical illusions laughing pal
ace. slide for life, plantation home, up-to-
date Josh Billings, and several other fine
attractions.
Mr. Irwin visited and inspected per-
sonaily all the separate departments of
these mammoth shows and says that be
yond a doubt Parkers have the finest line
of clean carnival attractions that can be
obtained anywhere. It will cost the fair
association quite a neat little sum TO
get these attractions here but Mr.. Irwin
felt fortunate in securing them at any
price as he is confident that they will
make great hit with those who attend
the fair here this fall.
The Parkers own their own electric
light plant. One may see how large their
shows are when he takes into consider
alton the fact that it requires twenty
eO-foot cars TO move them. All Of these
gears are owned by the shows.
All Of the shows are combined in one
large open tent. which VIII be located on
Water street on the vacant lots where
the old hay market was located. The
separate attractions are given in smaller
tents. each of which has a large hand

the artistic wooden fronts glistening in
the electric lights, the criers and the
twenty-five shows, seven of which are
free. all going on in full blast at one
time. are said to combine TO make a
scene which one seldom has the oppor-
tunity to witness and one which is never
forgotten.
The fair and carnival association sent
Mr.. Irwin east to secure the Parker
shows and several other attractions. In
his telegram 20 Mr.. Resting he states
that in addition to the Parkers he has Sc
cured many other good shows and that
he now has all that are needed. He did
not state what they were but he said
they were fine oneeS

HE LIKES HIS COUNTRY.
President Norcross Thinks America
Beats Europe for Scenery.

President Norcross of the American
State bank with his wife has taken a trip
over the Santa Fe to Los Angeles and
Santa Monica and intervening points. He
was away about a month and now he
is telling his friends that the American
people who spend their money during the
hot summer months in Europe do not
know their own country.
The Wichita bank president thinks that
the Pacific slope and the Rocky noun
tains beat Eurpe out of sight for scenery
and right down solid enjoyment He
thinks if the society people would learn
of the beauties of America and spend
their summer months in the mountains
of the west that pretty soon 1t would
be the popular thing for the royal bloods
of Europe to spend their summer vaca-
tons in this country.

TOO MUCH BUSINESS
On Missouri Pacific Causes Roots
Hackncn All Kinds of Trouble

E. Root, who runs the hack barn just
north of the Missouri Pacific tracks. on
Waco avenue, yesterday registered big
kick with the city officials because the
Missouri Pacific had so much business
that they often blocked Waco avenue and
First street, and caused his drivers a
great amount of delay and inconvenience.
He told the city officials that when they
received a hack call they had to start
a long time ahead of the appointed hour,
as the driver had to wait until he could
cross the tracks. They tried all sorts OF
schemes. and drove many blocks out Of
their way, only to find a train at work
on every street they tried to cross. They
had found that the best way was to start
out and then wait for a chance to get
across either Waco avenue or First
street.
