ARE NOW IN POSSESSION
Board Of Trade Nov in New Quarters

The Wichita Board of Trade is now in
possession of its new quarters, Music
Hall, in the Sedgwick building
1t has been over three months since
the directors OF the Board of Trade rent
ed this splendid hall. Miss Jessie Clark
acid lease on the room until March
The board of Trade hoped TO induce her
to give possession when they rented il
bur Miss Clark preferred TO hold for the
time which her lease ran.
The Nevii2g Elevator company were
fixing tneir Office room in one corner OF
the large room yesterday, and the A.
Pauline Commission company had their
big blackboard covering almost the en-
tire south end of the hall. Workmer
were engaged moving the furniture and
electric wires into the new quarters and
today this company will post their mar
kets in the Board of Trade room.
Mr.. NeVlng, OF the Nevling Elevator
company, said yesterday that by another
harvest the Board of Trade would be in
position to do something for the grain
that Wichita is destined to become the
great grain market of the southwest. He
was especially pleased with the arrange
ment made with the A. Pauline commits
sion company TO furnish the markets.
The entrance to the Board of Trade
room is from the north and south halls

EXTENDS REGISTRATION HOURS.
City Clerk VIII Keep Office Open Till
o'clock %. m.

From now on till registration closes the
city clerks office will remain open till 3
O'Clock in the evening for the accommo-
alton of citizens who cannot conveniently
register during working hours. The ac-
commOdation will begin with this evening
and City Clerk Leland will personally
conduct the registration.
1t is thought that this departure will
not only be a great advantage to working
people. but that it will relieve the regis
tration business during the last days of
abe time allowed for il.
Up till last night not much more than
one-third of the voters had registered.
The figures were not footed up, but Mr..
Leland thought at 6 o'clock that $500
persons had registered. This is not what
II ought to be at this stage Of the cam
paign. II ought 10 be 4,000 or more and
much work will have to be done or a light
vote will be polled. Mr.. Leland has suf-
ficient help to do the full registration pro-
viding voters will not postpone their duty
too long, in which event extra help will
be required to take care of the rush of
the last days.
Ladies do net have to ascend more than
one flight Of stairs TO register. Miss Cog
dell is in charge of registration for wo-
men In the office of the fire marshal di-
rectly opposite the entrance to the public
library. 1t is a convenient place and the
ladies can tell their age to Miss Cogdell
without scruple and so that no vile man
will hear their secret.

FUTURE WICHITA RESIDENT.
Illinois Paper Tells About Man Who
Will Move to Wichita.

The Mt. Sterling, ILL.,, Democrat-Mes-
sage has the following concerning fu-
ture resident of Wichita:
james c. McMurry disposed of his
live stock and personal effects at public
sale Wednesday. An immense crowd at
tended the sale and everything brought a
good price. About April / he will leave
for Wichita, Kan, where he will re-
side in the future. Jim McMurry would
be one of the best men in the world if
it was not for his politics. He lived a
little too far in the suburbs for us 10 do
anything with him through personal
evangelism and long since we abandoned
hope of getting him into the Democratic
fold. But we will draw a long breath OF
relief when ne leaves the county. When
he got on his horse and started for the
woods in campaign times there was no
telling how many Democratic votes would
be lost before he returned. Brown coun-
~ Democrats never for a moment feared
Mark Hanna like they did Jim McMurry
and while he is going to a state that is
irredeemably Republican. if we mistake
not he will show the politicians of Wich-
tia a trick or two before he is long a
resident of that city"

CAPT. LEE IN TOWN.
Tells About Pearl Titus Who Scaled
the Walls of Pekino.

Captain William H. Lee who became so
| noted in this section of the state five or
six years ago as a Salvation Army leader
and preacher is in the city from Colorado
| Springs, his present home. He came here
| in response to a telegram announcing the
| serious illness of his father-in-law, b. +.
| Smith. Mr.. Smith was en- route from
| Colorado Springs TO Texas. where he was
| to visit his son, but became i'll here dur
| ing brief visit with friends. Mr.. Smith
is now much improved but as he is 81
| years of age it is feared that he may not
| live.
Mr.. Lee was with John Blair. an old
| friend of his in the Cherokee strip cattle
days, most of yesterday, talking over old
| times.
Captain Lee raised the boy Calvin Pearl
| Titus, who scaled the walls of Pekin and
! planted the Stars and Stripes thereon.
| Speaking of young Titus yesterday he
said: He Was always a good boy and I
| do not think l had OCCASION to reprove
| his conduct more than twice while he liv-
! ed with me. When he asked me for per-
mission to join the army l gave it to him
| on condition that he would do his duty to-
| wards his God and his country. He
| promised that he would and he has full
| filled his promise to the letter He is
now at West Point and he writes me that
he drags Is military students out of their
! beds every Sunday morning and marches
| them to the Presbyterian church
! The boy Is working hard and ! think he

/ 8 o'clock in the morning till II O'Clock at
night. He stands we'll in the academy

CHICKEN LAW IN EFFECT.
Ordinance Became Operative on First
of March

The troubles Of the police judge were
doubled by March coming in. He has
lots of troubles of his own and other
people to take care of at the present time.
but he will have lots more of other peo-
pies troubles in two weeks The chick
en- ordinance went into effect the first of
March and the chicken and dog ordin-
ances cause more trouble than all the
other ordinances put together.
People Will jump into the police court
over less value when il comes TO chick
en- than in any other thing. Women will
fight over the back fence because a meas
ley little old speckied hen with seven
chicks walked across the neighbours yard.
They win call each other hard names and
swear dire vengeance on each other. and
the neighbors Will take sides and get
mixed up in the row. and q warrant will
be sworn out. the principals win march
into police court with about hundred
people Ak their heels. and the judge will
patiently sit and listen to long story of
woe. and end 1t by telling the woman
with the chickens to keep them on her
own side Of the fence. and the other wO-
man 10 stop being so cranky.
That viii not stop the enmity. however.
for the two women viii fight just as bad
the next day and maybe get into police
court again before tho season closes. The
chicken ordinance viii not be effective

chickens may roam whittier they please

The fun has started already. Last
night three different persons teiephoned
to the Eagle office that the chicken law
was in effect and that from one-half to
three million chickens were roaming over
their hack Yards. which were as hare rs

wanted the chicken officer 70 come out

SHOT BY STRANGER
Jake Wester in II hospital From Effects
of Gun-ShOt.

Late Monday night young man named
Jake hester was shot in the side and seri-
ously wounded while in the Rock Island
yards by a stranger. He was taken to
the hospital Immediately and it is thought
he will recover.
hester was in company with another
young man named Jesse Thatcher, who
tells a very peculiar story regarding the
shooting. and one that is considered i'm
probable by the officers. Young hester
is too weak to tell his story, but the po-
lice are expecting some very interesting
developments when ne is able to talk.
Thacker stated that Monday afternoon
he and hester were down near the Rock
Island when they were accosted by a
man who said he wanted to go to Lincoln,
Nebraska. The stranger said he was al
most penniless and Thacker says he told
the stranger that for dollar ne would
show him q brakeman who would help
him on his way hester and Thacker
promised TO meet the stranger in the
yards Monday night and show him the
brakeman. He says they met him Mon
Gay night as agreed and took several
down in the yards to wait for an iRcom-
ing train which was supposed to carry the
brakeman in question. He further says
that on hearing the train approach the
saying that he wanted to see if it was the
train they were waiting for, but instead
of doing this he turned and began shoot
ing at hester and Thaeker. Thacker ran
but returned later to hunt for his compan-
ion, but not finding him he says he went
to a livery barn to sleep.
Two policemen heard the shots and hur
ried to the spot to find hester with
wound in his side They sent him to the
hospital where he was cared for and be-
gan the hunt for the assailant. Early
Tuesday morning they found Thacker
asleep in livery barn, but they have not
been able to locate the man who did the
shooting and have concluded he left town
on some train Monday night.
The police doubt Thackers story and
the general opinion IS that the two young
men thought the stranger had some
money and laid a plan to rob him. No
developments are expected until hester
gets strong enough to tell his story.

With Farmers and Making
Contracts for Produce.
HE is IN WICHITA TALKING

Mr.. A. Bird of St Joseph, Mo, is here
with a view of operating the canning
factory for the ensuing year He is a
large operator and has been in the bus
iness of canning corn and tomatoes for
fifteen years, having large plant at St
Joseph and another al Hamburg, Iowa.
He has only been in the city but one
day, but has met with great encourage
ment. He thinks this valley is a great
place TO raise tomatoes and sweet corn.
He wants to enter into contracts with
the farmers in the vicinity for from two
TO three hundred acres Of tomatoes and
as much or more of corn one of his
customers who has been raising tomatoes
for him for years past is willing TO move
down here and is willing TO put in eighty
acres of tomatoes if he can rent the
ground at reasonable terms.
Mr. Bird has seen but few Of the
farmers, but in nearly every instance
they have agreed to put in from ten to
twenty acres
He will be in the city and county all
this week and wants TO meet all of the
growers interested, at Ross Bros. or Puck
ett's seed store, where contracts can be
seen and entered into. He will pay -
cents per bushels for tomatoes and $500
per ton for corn, snapped green in the
toes viii yield from three to four hun
dred and as high as fve hundred bush
els per acre, and the corn will produce
from four TO five tons per acre. II is
but little. if any more, trouble, to raise
than ordinary field corn. Farmers who
have been producing these crops AT other
places are enthusiastic over it and great
by prefer raising these canning products

The plant. when in full operation, will
employ from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty people, mostly women and girls.
who make an average of one dollar per
day.
Wherever earnings factories are in OPP
GRAFTON it raises the price of land, and
especially improves the rental value there
OIL. as more can be made on the land
than in raising ordinary farm products.
If the necessary encouragement is given
8Ir. Bird. there is no doubt the canning
factory will be in operation this year.
