APPRAISERS
WILL MEET
February 10 TO Make Assess
-ments for Opening Wichita St.
SOUTH FROM LEWIS STREET
Damages and Benefits Will be
Decided on at That Time.
SOUTH FROM LEWIS STREET

Yesterday the appraisers for the open
ing of South Wichita street announced
that they would meet in the city clerks
office at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning,
February 1s At that time they would
appraise the damages and Dement'S TO De
assessed for and against all of the pro-
perty within the benefit and damage dis
trict of the street. At this time the OBJ
jections to the appraisement and notices
of appeals will be filed with the commit
tee.
The street is to be opened south from
Lewis street to Lincoln street. The bene-
fit district which was decided on by the
appraisers, begins on the bank Of the Ar
kansas river at the south line of First
street and runs east to the alley between
Main and Market streets. thence south
along the west line of the alley TO Eng
lish street; thence west along the center
of this street to the center of Main street,
south on the center of Main street TO
Lewis street; west on Lewis street to
Water street; thence south along the CEN
ter of Water street to Lincoln street;
thence west to the river
The appraisers decided on this large
district that the assessment of benefits
will be small against each lot. The dam
ages will be large and the appraisers
selected a district of sufficient size to
secure the required amount of money
without making the assessment burden
to any property owner.
The city council has granted the Kan
sas City, Mexico & Orient Railway COM
pany the right-of-way on this street and
the appraisers will complete their work
as quickly as possible that the land re-
quired may be vacated and graded as the
earliest possible moment. The appraisers
in esta blishing the benefit district and the
assessment of damages cannot consider
the fact of the Orient using the street for
their road, and this part OF the program
must not enter into the proceedings when
the meeting is held in the city clerks
office on the 18th

THE TYRANNY OF TEARS.

Haddon Chambers delicious comedy
''The Tyranny of Tears" derives its
name from the tyrannical exercise Of a
woman's prerogative to resort to tears
as a means of appeal. when all other ar
guments fail, against her husband. whom
she foolishly believes to be In love with
his secretary, a hard-headed. sensible
girl Paul Gilmore, supported by a
strong company in THE Tyranny OF
Tears" Is one of the early local book
ings
Two murders. the discovery of a gold
mine. and the sale Of a farm, happened
at the Crawford last night in The Mis-
souri, Girl The show was one that de-
picted the life in Missouri to finish. The
plot had the customary william and the
hero who thwarted the plans of the vii
liam Zeke Dobson. presented by Mr..
Fred Raymond, was easily the star Of
the company. His acting was good but
the part that took the house, was the
remarkable facial expression that he ex-
hibited. He portrayed the green Mis-
sourian who had to be shown very
creditably. The remainder of the COM
| pany was mediocre. with the exception
of Miss May Dudly, who played Daisy
Grubb the Missouri girl.
The second act wa sthe one that pleased
the house the most In this there were
an extra amount of specialties. Zach one
had something TO do and the result was
a warm time that kept things moving
pretty lively.
The scenery was good and all belonged
to the company. In the first act there
was a field of cane represented and in
the distance were the Ozark mountains.
A good effect was produced by Zeke GO
ing through this on his way to the mine.
