so much for the home that has been

During the past two years Mr.. Heinze
has never been so well as he was in
his previous life, owing to the fact that
he suffered his first stroke of paralysis
about two years ago, and though he
rallied, he never completely recovered.
He bore up bravely, nevertheless, and
was courageous and cheerful to the last.

EASTER WITHOUT LILIES
WICHiTA'S SUPPLY OF FLOWERS
:. ENTIRELY EXHAUSTED.
Florists Say There Were Less to Besir
With, While Many Bulbs Were
Diseased.

Easter lilies are at a premium; in fact,
it was impossible to purchase one at any
of the greenhouses in the city yesterday
afternoon.
What is the reason the supply was
exhausted so early in the day." asked a
disappointed customer of a prominent
florist yesterday evening. Because there
were less this year to begin with than
there has been for many seasons past, -
he replied. The florists of Wichita be-
gan this season this year with very few
Easter lilies and it was not long until
by the dealers in this city this year
seemed to be diseased and failed to grow
and large numbers OF them were thrown
away on this account.
1T would be useless to ship ported
lilies into the city. as they sell for such
a low price after you get them here that
one would be sure to lose money .on
suSh a deal. There will be more lilies
in week or two. but at present the
supply of blooming plants Of this kind
is exhausted
A few days ago lilies were selling for
10 cents a bud and yesterday. had there
been any left. they would easily have
brought 30 cents each.
The person who is in the habit of wait
ing until the last minute will have to con-
tent himself with cut flowers, OF which
many beautiful varieties are offered.

WESTERN OFFICIALS ALARMED.
Agitation Grows Among Cattle Raisers
for Lower Rates.

Traffic officials of Western railroads
are becoming alarmed over the agita-
ton among cattle raisers for lower freight
rates and the abolition of many of the
restrictions placed around live stock ship
ments
At meeting Of freight agents OF West
ern roads in Chicago the principal topic
discussed was the call for meeting in
Denver in May of representatives of all
the associations of cattle raisers and deal
ers in live stock. The railway officials
fear the live stock interests may be pow
erful enough to secure national legsla
ton as to the manner in which live stock
traffic shall be handled by the railways.
The consensus of opinion among officials
attending the meeting was that the rail-
ways should Immediately adopt mea sures
to placate the live stock shippers, without
making any reduction in rates. The first
step probably will be a return to the
custom Of giving free transportation TO
persons accompanying shipments of live
stock Although officially denied. certain
railroads have been giving such transpor-
alton during the last month. contrary to
the agreement of all the western rail-

EXAMINATIONS ARE HELD
FORTY-EIGHT APPLICANTS FOR
CIVIL SERVICE POSITIONS.
Special Examiner Says System Offers
Excellent Opportunities to
Young Men.

Fred Wanamaker, special L. S. Civil
Service examiner from the commission
at Washington, D. c., was in the city
yesterday and held an examination at the
f deral building. At this examination
there were thirty-three applicants for the
railway mail service. fourteen for step
cgraphy and typewriting service and one
for compositor in the printing service,
n aking Total of forty-eight in all.
In speaking of the civil service Nj.
Wanamaker said: Year by year the com :
mission is making the civil service more
perfect. Civil service has been accused
Of permitting paTtisaaship TO enter into
its makeup, but this is an error. Poll
tics has less to do with an appointment
in the civil service Than anything else.
In fact it cuts little figure TO the commits
sion whether the applicant be Demo-
crat, Populist of Republican. But
there is one requirement, and that is thai
the applicant must have the necessary
ability. Ability is the winning card in
this game of civil service.
Fer instance | might cite several
cases in which it is proven that polite.
is not considered. | will take Secretary
Cortelyou of the department Of com
merce. He was once only clerk DRAWING;

service rules. Finally he was appointed
assistant private secretary 10 President
Cleveland. From there ne went to the
sistant private secretaryship to President
Mckinley. and then he was appointed pri-
vate secretary 10 Mckinley. After Nc
Kinleys lamented death Mr. Cortelpon
became President Roosevelt's private Sec
rotary and then from this position he was
appointed to his present place in the
presidents cabinet.
Il could name more men who have
climbed 20 the top in the same way.
The civil service offers excellent chances
for young men and women. There are
openings both in this country and in thu

there is a place at the top.
