If they can he assured of something to
ssee and hear.
1t is not money-making concern but
an organization of business men to pro-
mote the interests of business men and
the city Of Wichita. The organization
IS made up of men conducting the largest
and most successful business houses Of
the city and this assures them the sup
port Of every man IN the city. They are

The officers were instructed at the

favorable comment from the visitors and
this year the stock department will be
better and larger than ever.

WILL SCREEN WINDOWS.
Jail Windows Will Be Covered With
Wire

Sheriff Schad has finally secured the
long needed screens, which will be
placed over the Jail windows He has
long been bothered by friends of the
prisoners. who walked up TO the windows
and passed articles between the bars TO
the inmates. Very often articles passed
in We're flowers and delicacies; several
times it has been known that things of
a more substantial nature were handed
in, and it is thought that one or more
Jail deliveries were due TO the fact that
the windows were unprotected from out
siders. 1t is impossible to watch all OF
the windows and IL has been d very easy
matter for friends TO furnish prisoners
with means of escape. When the screens
are placed ON the windows this will be
impossible, and Sheriff Schad expects 10
have no more trouble.

CONDITION is SERIOUS.
Man Injured in Runaway Thursday
Nav Die

Howard Spencer, the man who was in
jured Thursday forenoon in a runaway
on West Fifteenth street, and afterwards
taken TO the Wichita Hospital, is still in
very serious condition and little. hopes
are entertained for his recovery. He has
been unconscious the greater part of the
time since the accident and 1t is feared
that an operation will have to be per-
formed. He has a sister in this city Mrs.
Briggs, who lives on South Water street,
and his parents live at Freeport, near
Anthony. They have been notified of his
condition and unless absolutely neces-
sary an operation will not be performed
until they arrive. His injuries are inter-
nal and are of very serious nature.

DEATH WAS RELIEF
D. T. Dunbar Dies After Month
of Suffering.
DEATH CAME PEACEFULLY
Made His Funeral Arrange
ments Months Before End.

d. T. Dunbar died at 2:15 yesterday af-
ternoon, at his home on North Law
renee avenue, after an illness lasting sew
eral months, and having its source in an
attack of the grip two years ago. Mr..
Dunbar was GO years of age January Z.
and has been a resident of this city for
over twenty-siX years.
Mr.. Dunbar had been a very sick man
for two months and several weeks ago it
was thought that he could not live
more than a day or two. He knew that
he would not live, and did very unusual
thing in planning out the details of his
funeral He chose his casket his pail
bearers and signifed his wishes as to the
manner in which the funeral should be
conducted. After making these arrange
ments he recovered slightly and the ply
sicians gave hopes Of his ultimate re-
covery, but with the extreme heat of the
past few days he became worse and sank
rapidly. He realized that he would die.
but was conscious until just short time
before his death The peculiar nature
of his disease prevented him from lying
large armchair, suffering untold agonies.
His death was peaceful. and he died with
out a sign of suffering-a thing he had
longed for since he knew that he could
not live.
He served three years in the Union
army. having enlisted in the Fifth
Indiana cavalry at the outbreak of the
war. He was imprisoned in the Ander-
sorville prison for period of nine
months during the war, and experienced
sufferings from which he never fully re-
covered. Since coming to this city he
has taken an active part in all G.. A. r.
work. and was for a time post commander
of Garfield post. He was member of the
First NJ. E. church of this city, and was
also a member of three fraternal orders
the Woodmen of the World, l. o. o. F.
and a. o. L. w. 1t was his dying wish
that two from each OF these organizations
should act as pail bearers at his funeral.
and that the past post commanders Of
Garfield post should act as honorary pail
bearers.
Mr.. Dunbar was born in Union county,
Indiana, January Z, 1871. He removed
from that state to Iowa in an early day
and came with his family to this city
twenty-six years ago. After coming here
he engaged in the undertaking business
and continued in that line until less than
one year ago. when his health compelled
him to give up business. He was a public
spirited man and made many friends. a
fact that has been demonstrated by
many acts of kindness during his long
sickness. He leaves a family of five, the
wife. Mrs. Dunbar. two daughters, Mrs.
.. Steinbuchel and Miss Montez Dunbar,
and two sons Ralph and Harry. The two
sons are at Moline, H.. and both have
been notified of their fathers death. They
are expected TO arrive in this city tonight.
When it was thought that Mr.. Dunbar
could not live, over a month ago. both
sons came to his bedside, but when he
became better they deturned to Moline.
where they have engagements with
Chautauqua assembly. The funeral ar
rangements have not been made and will
not be until the two sons arrive.

HOW TO STOP A COUGH.

A simple but effective remedy is the
following:
Breathing through the nostrila. inhale
a full breath as slowly as is possible
without causing fatigue. Expel the
breath In the same manner. and repeat
the operation ten times. This will stop
the coughing for about quarter OF
an hour. Take a dose Of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy during this lull
and the medicine will have better
opportunity to act and will speedily
effect complete cure. It always cures
and cures quickly. Benson, Smith& Co.,

| leases are reported to have been most
popular
Boyd also explains the lease OF the
land of Aanuka. q. 500 acre tract on
kau. for $75 a year, which he says was
for the purpose OF protecting the for
ests. The land is described as simply
barren lava waste. This is the trans
action criticised by the Mitchell Com
mission.
Speaking further Of the necessity for
opening lands. the Commissioner says:
1t is criticism sometimes made on
work of this office that lands have been
laid out in advance Of the construction
OF roads. whereby smaller value at
tached to the land itself and the settler
was hampered in the operations for
lack of suitable roads, both of which
statements are undeniably correct.
On the other hand. If such opening
OF lands were held back until suitable
roads were completed, would cause an
indefinite delay in land transactions.
and the results so far achieved would
not now be in evidence.
This appropriation can only be ex-
pended as designated by the item, that
is to say for Preliminary Roads and
Trails" We are about to construct
some very necessary work during the
coming year under this appropriation.
and can only be temporary as the con-
"a ri.
the Superintendent Of Public Works.
However. we expect to relieve, as far
as practicable. the situation for the |
time being until such time as the De- |
partment of Public Works can take the !
matter of road construction through |
lomesteads in hand.
The problem which this office has to
ace is whether to delay indefinitely
he opening of public lands until roads
an be completed, or to meet the de-
nand for lands by rougher immediate
means of access, with the expectation
hat improved roads will follow the set
lement of lands. L say, supply the
emand as an initiative. and the rest
'1ll shape itself.
A list is also given of all lands sold
r leased during the year. and the ex-
enditures and receipts are set out. :
reference is also made to the need for
'rest preservation.
Commissioner Boyd asks for an ap-
of s33, 120 for the next two
ears. He asks for an additional
0,OOO which includes $4,000 for the 4
penses OF the Commissioners visit to
