 Of the many new discoveries none has attracted much attention in the scen' tihe world as that made by K. Leo Min ges, of Rochester, N. Y. Mir. Minges is to short men and women what the great wizard, Eddison, is to electricity. He has demonstrated beyond any question or doubt that he has gathered more infor- nation relative to bone. muscle and sll- CIV than any one else in existence. MT. Minges Is very modest in his claims. He has the interest of the general public at heart, and every short man or woman may write to him in the fullest conf dence, and they may rest assured that the confidence placed in him will be kept so closely that hts most intimate friends will know nothing of 1t. Making people grow tall has been hobby with Mir Mnges for years, and the results he has accomplished are startling to a high de- grsa

Notes and Personals.

The week has been a brilliant one, in- cluding first MT. and Mrs Charles Hugh Cothran's dinner in compliment to the Lynn-Sharpe and the Shook Sharpe nup- tails. The details of the dinner made it one of the handsomest of the season, the circular table literally covered with gor- geous chrystanthemums and seating twenty guests The hower-aden table to- gether with the brilliant party of guests was reflected in an immense mirror lining one side of the dining room, the effect with innumerable candles being indeserib- able picturesque.
 The Bachelors buffet supper on Wednes- day was brilliant occasion. the feature of which was the drinking to the health of the brides from tall cut glass boot. This foreign custom originated in Heidel- burg, and is greatly in vogue in foreign cities. When Mrs. E. G Stevens was abroad this summer she was so impressed with the pretty custom that she selected in one of the foreign shops an exquisite cut glass boot and the first toasts were drunk in sparkling champagne the night of the Bachelors supper

DECISION is REVERSED.
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
in Martin vs. Stewart Case.

In the syllabus from the supreme court
in the case of Mrs. A. Q Martin VS.. j.
w. Stewart, the decision made in the
district court of this county was re-
versed on error. This case first appeared
in the probate court in Kingman county
during the year 1900 An application was
made to the probate judge of that county
the person and estate of Mrs. A. c. Mar
tin. stating that she was in feeble health,
of an unsound mind and inca pable of
managing her business affairs. The case
was heard in the probate court of that
county October 10, 1900, and a guardian
was appointed The case was appealed
to the district court, and was brought to
this county on a change of venue. A
motion for an appeal was sustained and
the case was carried to the supreme
court
Following is the opinion rendered by
that court:
The probate judge is without authority
to appoint a guardian for the estate or
person of an adult unless such person
has been duly adjudged to he an idiot
of unsound mind, or habitual drunkard
and incapable of managing his business
affairs. As the probate court was without
authority. the action should have been
dismissed in the district court of Sedgwick
county. For that reason the decision is
reversed and remanded.''

NO DANGER HERE.
Financial Crisis viii Not Hurt Kansas
Just Now.

Stories coming from New York To the
effect that q crisis is on zap is causing
more or less talk here among bankers
and business men. They are trying 10
ascertain whether there is anything in
the situation that is liable to react on
Kansas.
Ii is matter of fact that the bankers
here are not in the least apprehensive
of the future. President Naftzger Of
the Fourth National bank said yesterday
that none OF the conditions that create
financial Collapses are To be found IN
Kansas at this time He declares that
nobody ever saw a crisis when there
was plenty OF good money in circulation
The amount of money in this state now
IS estimated at Sos per capita. which IS
very large amount OF money for a
western state and this on top of an
average crop 10 be marketed this year
Mr. Naftzger says that some people are
sstounded that the great amount Of
building In this city has not caused a
depletion of the money in the banks. He
said the reason was that there is no
Specializing building here II is the nat.
ural growth OF The city and we have
8 new population in proportion 10 the
building which have brought in money.
The banker said that it was the specula-
tive building that caused a stringency
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1903-08-06

in money matters. but the natural
growth of a country OF city never had
any such results. He said the same
conditions that prevailed here very large
Iy govern in Oklshoma-it is a natural
growth and Will not cause financial dis
aster.
He said the stopping Of production IN
the east by labor strikes was the only
thing to be feared in that section ms
talk about the steel trust coilapsing
and taking in Pierpont Morgans banks
and many others in the country was
all rot. He said the steel trust was in
fated with wind and when it collapsed
the men who held the stock would sim
ply find their holdings worth good
deal less than they counted on. 1t
would have no more effect on the west
than the decline Of hogs in the west
from eight to five dollars had on the
east. Nobody need give themselves any
trouble about Morgan's big banks being
hurt If the steel trust collapses. Nor
gan financed the scheme and made his
commissions just like a real estate man
when he sells property He is letting
other fellows carry the stock and he is
taking the cash in commissions.

HIS POINT OF VIEW.
Chas. Payne Makes Statement of Band
Trouble

Yesterday Mr.. Chas. Payne, wishing to
have the public see the affair from his
point of view made the following state
ment about the use of his park by the
Innes band, which matter was brought
up in the council Monday night:
Il was to have half the proceeds of
the concerts in my park and it was ar
ranged this way. A committee of the
lines band came to me stating that they
had been turned down by the city In the
matter of concerts, and asked me TO
give them a place where they could give
free concerts themselves. 1 fixed up a
park for their use, cleared out the grounds
built a nice band stand for them, put
seats around the trees, put up swings,
free use OF the public and the accomo-
dalton of the band The band boys soon
wanted 20 fix up something from which
to secure revenue, and said that If
! helped them in this j was to receive
half which l readily agreed to helping
them in every way that l could. and ON
the Fourth of last month with the assis-
lance of my brother made the band boys
nearly 80 each for that day. Later
some one got UP the petition asking the
council to pay the band for concerts in
my park for the benefit OF citizens in
the south and west portions of the city"

ANOTHER lNTERURBAN LINE.
Plans of Three Towns to Have Elec-

The people of Wellington. Winfield and
Arkansas City are discussing the inter
urgan railway proposition 10 connect the
three cities. The Winfield Free Press has
the following about the road
There have been rumors Of late Of plans
to build an electric interurban line con-
Meeting Winfield. Wellington and Arkan-
sas City. Independent of the proposed
line from Wichita. That such a plan IS
on foot is confirmed by w. c. Robinson,
president OF the First National bank Of
this city. Mr.. Robinson informs US that
a company will soon be organized and ap-
Div for a charter Several well known
business men were In each Of the three
cities are interested in the proposition
and will become members Of the company
Mr. Robinson Is in correspondence with
]. j. Burns OF Chicago and will soon
leave for the east 10 talk the matter over
personally with him. Mr.. Burns has built
several interurban lines and Will be re-
rnembered here as the man who promoted
the building of the Missouri Pacific rail-
road through this part Of the state. He
is interested in the interurbsn PROPOSE

20 ride with him over his eastern lines.

COLORED CENTENARIAN.
Was Sent to the County Poor Farm
Yesterday.

Ham Sanders colored man from Gar
den Plain. who claims to be over l03
years of age. was sent to this city yes
terday by the authorities at Garden
Plain and was placed in the county poor
farm. Sanders left here only a few weeks
ago after spending some time in the
Wichita hospital, but after returning to
Garden Plain became more feeble, and
as he had no near relatives il was
thought best 20 place him some place
where he would receive regular care.
When he arrived in the city yesterday he
was almost worn completely out and it
was only with great difficulty that he
sged to walk to the ambulance in
which he was taken TO the poor farm
He has been a partial county charge for
some time. having received 50 per week
from the county TO help in his support
Mr.. Sanders was slave during the slave
days and while his body is a complete
wreck his mind is clear and he talks
very Interestingly of his bondage.
