DEDICATED A CHURCH.
Rev. NJ. e. Harmon Officiates at Serv-
ices in ToWanda.

Sunday was a great day for the Meth
odist church at Towanda. Eleven years
ago they built them a nice little church.
and the church had grown to such an
extent that it became necessary to en-
large the building. The work was be-
gun last winter un0er the pastorate Of
Rev. t B. Lawrence and was carried to
completion by Rev. J. ". Anderson, the
present pastor The seating capacity was
increased one-half larger than the orig
inal building and is now a gem of beau
ty. The cost was nearly s1,100, and all
concede that the money was well spent.
The day was beautiful and the church
was crowded with smiling, happy people.
Rev n. E. Harmon of this city preached
the sermon and had charge of the col
lection being ably assisted by the pastor,
Rev. ]. W. Anderson and Rev. T. Is.
Lawrence and the trustees of the church
and in very short time $500 was raised.
which was more than enough to pay all
the Indebtedness. The church was then
dedicated amid the shouts of song and
praise. and all went home happy feeling
that a great and glorious victory had
been won.

Required Number of Gas Contracts
Expected hy That lime

Within another week We expect to
lave secured enough gas contracts to in
sure the piping of that product into this
city by those to whom a franchise has
been granted" said G. w. Smith last
night.
a meeting will be held at the Chamber
of Commerce this morning to map out
a system whereby more ground can be
covered by the circulators. What few
persons there might have been who Were
at the start skeptical on the subject of
piping gas to Wichita all are now strict
ly in favor Of the proposition. No trou-
bic whatever is being experienced in Sc
curing signatures to the petition. With
additional help from every resident of
Wichita and the willing signature of
.all persons to whom the contracts are
presented, it is anticipated that the work
can be finished in one weeks time.
P. V. Healy, having just gotten the
work of circulating petitions calling for
another election to vote bonds to the ORR
ent is at liberty to assist in the work of

here this season was that between X. II.
and Farmount University yesterday af-
ternoon. The closing score was to o in
favor OF the visitors.
Those who attended the game on the
previous day between X. L. and Friends
did not believe there was such good
playing In the visiting team as exhibited
on Fairmount yesterday. Barring one
error, X L. played a faultless game.
Morgan. who has pitched for X. L. in
many games, was reserved for the one
with Fairmount and he came up to ex
pectations in every respect. although
Bates struck out more men than did Nor
gan.
For the first four innings it looked like
tied score. X. L. made its first run
in the fifth and did not score again until
the ninth, when three more runs were
netted.
All told. s. L got five hits. while Fair
mount made but two. The one error
charged to X L. was made by Sexton at

DATE SET FOR
BOND ELECTION

I County Officers.
ORIENT STANDS EXPENSES
Final Arrangements Made at
Meeting Yesterday.

At a meeting of the board of county
commissioners held yesterday in conjunc-
tion with Judge John Eaton, general at
torney for the Kansas City. Mexico and
Orient railway. the board ordered a spe-
cial election for the revoting of the $50, 600
in bonds to the company. The election is
TO be held on June 30 1904, at the legal
voting places in the county. The Orient
railway company gave good and sufficient
bond for the expenses of the election,
which bond was filed and signed by prom
anent property owners, corporations, etc.
At the meeting the petition signed by
more than two-fifths of the resident tax
payers and a majority of the legal voters
of the county was presented upon which
the commissioners decided to grant the
request for the election. In event of d
majority of votes cast in favor of the
proposition the county clerk will sub
scribe for S0O00 of the capital stock of
the railway. and when the Kansas City,
Mexico and Orient railway shall have
complied with the conditions stated in
the petition the clerk will then issue the
county's bonds for the amount.
The condition upon which the subscrip-
ton is to be made and the bonds issued
and delivered are that the company shall
build standard guage railway through
the county and through the city of Wichi-
ia, and that they shall build and MAIN
tain freight and passenger depots and
have the railroad built and in operation
by the 31st day of December 1907; that
the company will establish and put in
operation in Sedgwick county its loco
motive or round house. its principal man
ufacturing and repair shops for its line
of railway at which work conveniently
accessible to shall be done, and no other
principal manufacturing. machine or re-
pair shops shall be established at or be-
tween Kansas City, Mo, and the north
line of Texas.
These machine shops are to be equipped
with the necessary machinery and ap-
pliances and operated by the company |
According to the agreement they shall |
be erected and put in operation by De
cember 81, 1908, and that the remaining |
portion of the bonds shall not be delivered |
until these agreements are complied with. !
The prominent local commercial or |
ganiZations have been working hard on |
the proposition and are confident that the |
bonds will carry. They hold that the !
benefit arising from the establishment of |
the company's shops in the city will be |
tnestma bic.
