WICHITA MAY GET
WOODEN FACTORY
MIR. Chain Would Move Plant
to This City.
HAS CAPITAL OF $4,000
And Will Employ 90 People
at the Start.

J. NJ Cain, proprietor of the Sedalia
Wooden Mills Pants company, arrived in
Wichita yesterday and called on c. w.
Smith, secretary Of the Chamber of Com
merce, regarding a proposition TO remove
the plant of the company from Sedalia
to Wichita. Mr.. Cain is the president Of
the company and came 10 Wichita TO see
what inducements this city had to offer
to a company Of this kind. The company
makes wooden goods and pants and he is
contemplating the removal of part or all
Of the factory. The pants sell a. from 81
to S35 per dozen, and from figures which
Mr.. Cain produced, which he claimed were
taken from his books the company makes
gross profit OF 30 per cent and net
profit of from - to 80 per cent on the cap
ital invested. He stated that his plant at
the present time was worth in the neigh
borhood of $40, go.
Mr.. Cain wants to enlarge his plant as
he has plenty of business to justify il,
and would move to another point If he
could secure some one TO go in with him
or have a number of persons subscribe
TO the capital stock. He is willing to
have the concern Incorporated. The prop
osition on which Mr.. Smith is working
at present is to secure subscriptions of
81, coo to the capital stock of the COM
pany. and Mr.. Cain will bring stock and
machinery worth at least $50 600 to Wich
tia He would employ sixty people 10
start the concern, absut forty of these
being women receiving SALARIES CT from
IS to 80 per week.
Mr. Cain came here to see if he could
not interest some Wichitan with some
surplus cash to go into the company. He
will be here several days and as ne has
excellent references the matter will be
carefully investigated by the Chamber Of
Commerce and Mr. Cain has agreed to
furnish any facts asked for relative to the
business He came here TO secure a larger
capital and if necessary to move to Sc

MAY BE A DRY WELL.
RACES & Co. Have Found Nothing in
Their New Well.

The following is taken from the Win
field Free Press:
THE gas well being drilled for the city
by RACES * Co. reached a depth of 6S9
feet at noon today and no evidence of
gas or gas sand had been found. The city
officials were at the well this morning
in anticipation of find, and were much
disappointed.
This we'll is within 500 feet of the first
one and it was expected that gas would
be found al about the same depth, 6l0
feet. In the second well. drilled 800 feet
west of the first one. gas sand was found
at 625 feet. but with only a small flow
of gas. 1t seems. however, that this last
well has missed the gas sand entirely.
The drillers are of the. opinion that it
will he useless to drill further unless ar
rangements are made to go 800 or 1900
feet deep. But it is probable the well
will be sunk to the contracted depth, $50

Victor Murdoch, without doubt, is the
only candidate for congress in the Sew

message from over the sea predicting
his nomination and election to congress.

atoms or motion waves or light rays or
something of that kind from Catalina
islands on the Pacific ocean TO San Pedro
in California and from there to this
point it was brought on the Western In

time ago when it was announced that a
contract had been closed with the Ham
burg company to run a line of steamers

An ll1corl'igible
 Angel By4RRI. LANCASTER
(Copyright. 1903, by Daily Story Pub. Co.)

TT FIN, the artist, dropped his book
 and strode to the window, there to stand and stare out upon. the green slope that slipped shimmering and si- lent to the valley below, Green-g gold where the sun shot down to it; green black where the pine shadows fell upon it; but always green, glad and beautiful. A thing to hold any artis- tic eye. An, but this artist was blind ito 1t. That unlucky line of Ruskins. It had walked afresh all the heartburn ger he had hoped to soothe into ever- lasting rest with the lullaby of labor. i "An incorrigible angel" What mat tered it that Ruslzin was writing of eighth century Irish art? At the words had sprung before the artists mental vision that tantalizinga embodiment of beauty and mischief. If the great critic had coined the phrase. for the express benefit of monsieur's,, his hosts, slip of daughter, it could not have come more pat to the purpose. So while he stared aC the slope and it's wonderful play of high light and shadow the artist saw only dark eyes beneath thick, curling lashes dimples dancing in roseleaf cheeks and tempting lips parting over pearly teeth. Flow wonderfully lovely the child is," he unused, while a smile lifted the tips of his mustache. Little tease. In- -corrigible angel suits her to dot And he smiled again, finding these for bidden fruits very sweet indeed
 For all thought of the lovely child was forbidden fruit to the artist Being young and ambitious, and acknow1edg- ing frankly that matrimony was, too theavy handicap for his career, he had planned to esehew woman and the thought of her.
 "Ill never marry for anything but love. Ergo, if don't fall in love won't marry" he explained to his pipe, and pleased with his philosophy and it's penetration he had pursued his ap- pointed path discontented and happy, or contented and unhappy, as is the way with artists, be the A big or little.
 Now, voila. That path had brought him abruptly vis-a-vis with an incor- rigible angel. Comment donc? It was time for his resolution to assert itself --or to turn tail and run. As for the
 
 artist, he wished the resolution to stand pat. On general principles men like to believe that they are made of sterner stuff than rope of sand. Ger tainment! A week ago he had burned his sketches of rounded cheek and beauteous brow and said to his heart: Enough, enough" Said it sternly all in the "dead vast and middle of the night Eh nein, but he kept on star ing down tile slope until he spied . white specls at the bottom of it.
 "Aspasi's befrilled sun-bonnet."
 He seized his hat and slammed his door. Resolution had turned tail. Que1 esclandre, que1 esclandre!
 Oui vraiment. It is so out there on those green hills under the pleasant sunshlne--among the simple lives of

peaceful 'CajRn land The heart of am- bition grows ashamed of it's clamor- s of it's everlasting "Give, give" There is bigger thing than either money or success, and that is the serenity of soul that sets aside money and success as little tin toys that eternity may easily dispense with.' The artist breathed in such thoughts with the air-aftar reso- i1ution ran away. He fancied that it was because Of the profound peace and silence that he felt nearer to Heaven out here upon these green-wrapt hills: that it was the tall pines and the stars ,stooping over them that awoke those mystic yearnings; that it was the moonlight and the quiet that sent him of into those long, long reveries wherein the big things dwindled and .shrank and it seemed good just to live on in silence at peace with all human kind. Yea, truly, he thought it was all a case of atmosphere, the poor artist. Little dreaming that 1t would have been the same in Broadway or Boston had the incorrigible angel been there. Like most men he sflrank from anaIyz- ing his emotions. But, Aspasi, the in- tCOII16lUlC dA5Si, 0AAAyICu IuGm TOT him. An, mais oui! Her eyes danced when she behe1d M. le artiste smoking with his eyes on vacancy, and her lips quivered with suppressed smiles when he stammered over the request to be allowed to chop her kindling.
 Alas, he was better fitted to draw pictures than to chop kindling, le paul. vre artist, with his long, slim fingers. As Aspasi watched him she seemed to see in contrast blue flannel shirt Straining over straight shoulders while keen ax flashed up and down with poetical precision. But who would have suspected that she saw such vi- sions, the deer-eyed maiden, as she heaped the chips in her apron with a shy:
 Y tank you, sir.''
 I Hein! It is the poets that fsfI us the woods is the place to see visions and dream dreams vofla, Aspasi saw many visions: of broad shoulders, as we have said; of fearless black eyes when she looked at the A,tist's gold-rimmed glasses; of swift, strong strides when she watched the artists strolling steps; of ck-fiung head and laughing lips while she responded to the artists well-bred smile. An, mon ami, beside the machine-made man she kept seeing the man primitive with the beauty of a sun god and the bravery of. dumb beast-and she could not comprehend culture. But, yet; it was fun to have a man whp wore store clothes every day for beau. It made the other girls gi jaloux.
 And then the edge came up to the artist, sharp and keen. It was a letter that did it. A cold, typewritten, dic- tated ten lines. Hein, that this fugi- tive from a hustling world center" should have found its way into that delicious land of dreams and visions! An offer which if accepted meant a cool thousand or so-and prospects: but which, if rejected. or even ne-l g1ected, was as door slammed in the face of success.
 The artist walked the night away. How could he go and leave her, his incorrigible angel? But how could he take her with him? Tn that hot-house1 atmosphere would she not droop and An, he had meant to give 1t all up for her. To have a cottage on hillside

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.


 The first performance of this week S bill at the Jacques as given yesterday made distinctly favorable impression and the large audiences that were pres ent pronounced it all right, which means much in vaudeville parlance. Heading the bill are O'Brien and Ha- vel in Will NJ. Cressy's splendid con- edy sketch Tricks and Clicks" MT Greasy, who is known as vaudavflle's s most prolific writer since George M. Cohan abandoned this field, has pro vided a skit thoroughly we'll adapted to the peculiar abilities of Mir O'Brien and Miss Havel, and the sprinkling of old-time varety that is fnterjected makes 1t go with additional favor. The act should prove headliner of excep- tional popularity. The second great headline offered by the Klein-Ott broth CTS and& Nickerson is a quartet of all kinds of brass music to which are add ed the organ chimes of fifty-tWo pieces. It is undoubtedly the best musical act ever presented on the local stage. The remainder of the bill, which is very fine throughout, is made up of acts of fered by Robert Carter and company in '"The Wise MT Conn.," SmieI and Kess- ner, H. V. Fitzgerald, MT and Mrs Nello, Will M. Tomkins and the cleo trograph with colored views of "A Trip to Fairyland.''' Prices are 10, 20 and 80 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
