Weather Man Says No Clouds VIII
AEpear.

The weather man is in an awful pickle.

he cannot get his strings on his highs
and lows that have been causing so much
trouble The best he could do yesterday
was TO hunt up his cid standby and con-
tenpo-ary-the grounding. and together
they had little heart-to-heart talk. and
as a result they have decided that il viii
be fair today and the mercury viii go up
q few points
The best the weather man could do was
TO dig Up : low IN Cincinnati. This low
IS very low low. in fact il is so low
that il can hardly be recorded There IS
a hish lodging blizzard out IN Colorado.
The hfgh and low are Sc far apart that
k will be impossible Coz them 70 get to-
gether this evening and maybe not then.
50 the weather man predicts fair weather
for this section for today and in fact. IS
long as he can keep the TWO disturbing
features from getting close e each other
The trouble v.;h the wires was patched
up Yesterday and he viii be able 70 keep
his highs and lows under control for

SAID IRONS WERE NO GOOD.
Police Had Very Strenuous Time Yes
terday.

There was a jolly time in police court
yesterday morning. y few days ago
couple of men dropped into Wichita with
q box Of irons. The article which is used
IN every household was OF rather a pecu-
liar CONSTRUCTION and the agents claimed
that when filled with charcoal and lighted
they would remain hot for hours. Every
housewife aasS washerwoman knows how
much trouble it is to have cold iron
and this patent seemed to have solved the
difY1Eulty.
The two men sold some twenty or thirty
of the irons over the city. In many homes
wash-day is Monday and ironing day is
TUESDAY. So Tuesday many persons tried
ithe new irons and then troubis began
lfor the women irons. policemen and
agents. The police Judge and city attor-
ney were drawn into the turmoil. The
telephones in the police station rang
ievery two minutes and some irate women
vat the other end, in tones that told more
truly than words the pitch OF her feelings.

cltedly told the clerk that she had been
Imposed upon and would Just like 10 set

the iron. She would show him a thing or
two that he had never heard of before.
TIE clerk at the station was sweating
frsm the effects of the conversations he
had with the irate women ard all this
tine the agent was in blissful ignorance
OF what would happen to him If he should
. drop around among his patrons.
60 many complaints came in that the
pGlice went after the agent and soon had
tteAtwo men in the holdoVer and the wo-
men were notified. they came singly. in

WILL BUILD
7 BIG ELEVATOR
Stevens-Scott Grain Company
are Owners.
CAPACITY OF $4,000 Blu.
Work Will Begin by the First
of March.
CAPACITY OF $4,000 Blu.

wichita is going to have another big
Grain elevator 1t viii be built by the
stevens-Scott Grain company and VIII
be located on the joint railroad tracks
north Of the Nevling elevator.
Mr.. Stevens said last night that he had
the blue prints and everything was about
ready to commence work on the new
building. He said work would be com
meneed By March !. if not before The
elevator. he said, would have a capacity
Of seventy-fiye thousand bushels and il
would be constructed with view TO an
addition just as soon as more room was
needed
The company has secured large block
OF ground and the matter is now up 20
the railroads. and their consent TO give
the necessary switch is all that remains
of the arrangement before commencing
the building Some of the railroad Of
fcials have already assured Mr. Stevens
that the roads would be all right.
The Stevens-Scott Grain company has
been here little over eight months, and
In that time have done a good bus.-
ness The company have u line of ele-
vators on the Rock Island road and a
receiving elevator a. FL Reno. This new
elevator~on the joint tracks in this city
will give the company a better chance
TO operate on the other roads and their
grain business will be centered in this
city.
This matter Of a new elevator has been
discussed among the members OF the
board of trade for some time and several
weeks ago a reference was made TO II
in the Eagle but no names given, Al
that time rumor said the plan was 10
build an elevator and mill, but Mr.. Stew
ems said last night that the elevator was
all his company contemplated at this
time. He said ne was miller and that
was probably the grounds for believing
his company contemplated building a
u.ili.
1t was necessary to secure the ground
before giving out the information that
the building of a large elevator was the
intention of the company. The Eagle
two years ago said Wichita was going II
become a great grain and milling center.
does rot require very much foresight
to see that now. The Stevens-Scott Grain
company are going to do good deal
toward fulfilling that prediction.

Zinc Smelter for Cryst al.

w. Porter Nelson. OF Aspen, stopped
over here while on his way to Crystal,
| Tuesday. He was met here by Mr.. Nye.
| OF Denver and together they went on to
Crystal to look over some mining prop
ositiops. Mr.. Nelson is authority for the
statement that much development work
is being done in the copper and silver
mines at that place and says that the
North Pole mine i n which he is interest
ed, is uncovering large amount of val
liable ore. The Black Queen and Dead
King mines are each working force OF
men steady. The greatest trouble with
the ore in the past has been, as Mr.. Mel
son says, that the large percentage Of
zinc has made the cost of treating (ten
dollars per toni too much for any mar
gin Of profit. A new process is now be-
ing used by which the ore can be treat
ed at so cents ton and plant OF this
nature is soon to be installed at Cry stal
by the American Smelling and Refining
company.
Mr.. Nelson is an old mining man hav-
ing lived in Aspen for number OF
years. He was at one time mayor Of
that city. He ststes that the mines at
Aspen are at the present time employ
ing more men than at any time last year
and thinks that the outlook is much
brighter than few weeks earlier. Some
rich veins have been struck, he says,
and these are being worked Carbon
