PROHIelTIoNIsTS MEET
In w. c. T. U. Rooms Yesterday on
Political Business.

The Prohibitionists met in the w. c. 7.
L. rooms in the Sedgwick block last nigh.
for the fifth time, to decide on whether
they would have a ticket of their own
in lie field or not, and after three hours
discussion of this and a dozen other sub
Jects did not have any clearer idea OF
what was wanted than before the meet
ing. good deal of time was taken by
discussion of parliamentary law by the
chairman and one or two others relative
TO whether the chairman had any right
to rule a motion out of order that did
not exactly come under the head of the
business for which they met. The chair
man allowed discussion OF questions at
any old time, and when people rose to
point of order a nice little row was pre-
The chairman was too lenient.
Several of the candidates on the citizena
ticket were present and took a hand in
some of the discussions. They did not
want the Prohibitionists to get out a
ticket of their own or endorse any one
but Ross and the citizens ticket, but the
ProhibitiOnistS would not endorse any
one and it is possible that they will get
out ticket Of their own.
The meeting adjourned until Friday
night, when a good citizenship league Will
be organized, but several persons were
emphatic in announcing that this league
would have nothing TO do with politics,
but to study good government.

FAIR WEATHER TODAY.
Such the Weather Man Predicts foS
Wichita

The weather man is going to have a
dispersion sale pretty soon. His stock
Of highs has increased rapidly within
the past day or so, and the demand has
disappeared so he will adopt the methods
Of some business houses and sell out a
few and reduce stock. There is an active
demand for good lows. but the supply
was cut short by the extreme cold weather
of the north which blockaded all lines of
travel and the usual weekly output has
been tagged. The bulls have also been
doing Il few stunts and about all the
surplus low stock has been taken in out
of the wet at a good figure, and the bears
are doing their best to realize just how it
all happened.
Wichita is up in the air regarding the
market a high is central around
Wichita and the bulls are trying to raise
it a little higher and put a chunk I'M
der il.
The weather man would like to bet on
the raise, and in order to accomplish his
ends is promising fair weather today for
Wichita.
The weather conditions as given yester
day were:
Clear weather is shown over the South
Pacific slope. the Plateau regions. South
Dakota. portions of Nebraska and Kan
sas. and the Panhandle of Texas, but
elsewhere cloudy, threatening weather

The temperature continues to be above

The barometer readings are high in all

the chance there is. There have been
enough men out to practice to assure the
manager and captain of the Friends
team that there Will be no dearth of ma
terial to choose from.
Although Cornelison and Pierce two OF
the crack players of last year, will not
be with the team. there will be enough
doing to show the fans of the town some
of the hottest and fastest ball it has
been their lot to witness.
Although the season proper does not
open until in April, the management have
made arrangements to play the first

TRIED TO BREAK JAIL.
CoIored Boy Seeks Exit Through
Prison Walls

Clyde Appleby. a colored boy, II years
old. who is charged with stealing bicycles,
tried to escape from the city jail Tues
day night by digging a hole through the
stone wall on the south side and a few
hours more work would have given him
his liberty
Il was a short time before daylight
yesterday morning that the night clerk at
the station heard a continued pounding
on stone with iron. and Immediately call
ed an officer from the peat and went to
investigate He found the boy industri-
ously hammering away on the stone wall
20 the left of one of the big windows in
the jail. The wall is fully two feet thick
and the lad had removed all but one
stone about eight inches thick, when dis
covered He had taken out several stones
as large as a mans head. and was work
ing to remove the mortar from around
the stone in the outside wall
The Lad used a piece Of iron from the
sink in the Jail. \ hydrant is standing
on the east side of The mems ward. and
under this is connection with the
sewer. over this sink is a perforated iron
plate to prevent large articles from get
ting into the sewer. To this plate is fas-
tened 4 bar Of iron two feet long. This
plate and bar were used in tearing the
mortar from the wall. 1t WAS an I'M

evening. and kept at ii all night. and had

MONEY HAS
BEEN RAISED
To Build Fine Club House at
Country Club.
BONDS AMOUNT TO $500
Meeting Tonight to Decide on
Plans and Location,

At a meeting of the officers of the
Country club last night it was found that
the soliciting committee had already
raised $500 for the new club house on
College Hill.
Until the officers met last night it was
not known just what part Of the $500
voted for the club house had been raised,
and it was pleasant surprise to find that
more than that amount had been sub
scribed. This money has been raised in
a very short time and the willingness
of the members TO give has made easy
work for the solicitors. 1t was only nee
essary to see the members to secure their
names.
The club now expects - raise $500
which will not only build the club house
but will leave a surplus sufficient to fur
nish it and to beautify the grounds
around it. The first intention was 10
raise s., 800 s., 800 of which was to be used
in constructing the club house and the
remaining $500 for furnishing it. The
club now proposes to build finer club
house than planned for and VIII spend at
least 5000 in its construction. This
amount will be sufficient TO build a club
house that viii be a credit 10 Wichita.
This will leave $500 for furnishing.
4 meeting has been called for tonight,
when the remaining business viii be fin
ished Two committees Will be appointed,
building committee and a committee on
location. The lease which has been sent
to the owners for their signature is eX-
pected daily, and when it arrives the
