appear at Grand Opera House ON next
Monday night and will present pro-
gram which, for genuine novelty has
never before been attempted by any other
minstrel manager. The company is large
one and every artist has been selected
with great care for his respective worth.
One surprise follows another in rapid sue
cession, from the rise to the fan Of the
curtain. Those who have seen the clever
performers in this attraction will wish
to see them again, and those who have
not had the opportunity of witnessing the
entertainment should do so now and spend
an evening of rare enjoyment, guaranteed
to satisfy the most exacting amusement
seekers. as Marvellous "Marseilles," the
anatomical enigma, who has been en-
gagged at an enormous salary, for this
tour only, is alone worth the price Of ad-

ton is angry because some of the To-
peka newspapers are reported to have
said that the recent flood rendered
many of the colored people of Wichita
destitute. From this it is feared that
some people may infer that Wichita,
now making a. hard fight for next years
meeting, will be financially unable to
entertain the PythianS. The Wichita
people go so far as to say that the
story was. given out for the especial
purpose of defeating the Windy City's
fight for the convention The Wichita
Beacon prints this statement from one
of the delegates of that city, who wrote
home concerning the matter: -ier 7

that we will not be able to make ample

NO MONEY FOR LAWYERS.
Pennsylvania Man Warns Executors
to Avoid Attorneys.

Lancaster. Pa, July 27.-That the
late Joseph Dyer, president of the
Elizabethtown National bank. was no
friend of lawyers developed with the
filing of his will. disposing of his es-
tate of $500, 600. In his will the dead
banker says:
81 positively demand of my execu-
tors to settle up my estate themselves,
and not to use or spend my money
with any lawyer or attorney, or in the
county offices of Lancaster except the
registers, to prove this will. They
shall not file an inventory or account
of my estate in said office, nor shall
they charge any commission for the
settlement of nay estate. except actual
expenses incurred by Them"
The will was made on March 8,
1892. and few days later he added a
codicil directing that his executors, a
daughter, Fila A. Coble, and George
B. Boggs should receive 500 COM
pensation for their services.
The executors did not carry out Mr..
Dyers wishes. as the records show
that they secured the services of an
attorney.

FEAR OF THE UNSEEN
Drives Foreman of Gang of Pipe Lay
erS Insane.

Derby, Conn.,, July 27.-The terrible
fear of the unseen inherent in hui
mainly came upon James Barrett and
drove him mad as he lay in "a
inch water main 500 feet from its
mouth.
Barrett was foreman of a gang of
pipe layers engaged in laying 1000
feet of 24-inch main pipe from Beaver
lake to the Beaver reservoir in course
of construction between Derby and
Ansonia.
Barrett, though tired mentally and
physically, decided to inspect the
Joints in the pipe from the inside
Working himself forward on his
stomach, he succeeded in reaching
point about 800 feet from the opening,
where he halted to rest. He was in
inky darkness and the pipe, coated
with a clammy moisture, was cold.
Not a sound from the street above
reached him. For an hour his work
men waited for his return. Then,
fearing something had happened to
him, one of them started through the
pipe Three hundred feet in the pipe
the workman touched the shoes of
the unfortunate foreman. Barrett,
his clothing twisted and torn, lay un-
conscious. By a rope attached to his
feet he was hauled to the street. Five
minutes later, with physician bend
ing over him Barrett became con-
seious, only to leap to his feet and at
tempt to throttle those nearest him.
1t took eighteen men to restrain the
mailman.
There is little hope of his mental
recovery.

TAYLOR IN CHARGE.
Hutchinson Man VIII Direct Republic
can Speakers.

Carr w. Taylor of Hutchinson will
have charge of the speakers bureau
for the Republican state central COM
mittee. He is here today, but he will
not begin his work directing the
speakers bureau until the speaking
campaign begins in September. In
the meantime he will be here off and
on. aiding with the other work of the
committee.
Taylor was one of the boss busters
executive committee last winter, and
it was his work that carried Reno
county for Hoch last January. That
is why he will be prominent during
the Hoch administration. He was
county attorney of Reno county for
two terms, and after he went out his
partner, J. u. Brown. was elected
county attorney and Taylor continued
as deputy. Brown is a warm friend
of Governor Bailey.
The man who runs the speakers
bureau during a campaign has about
the most Iaborious job there is. He
has to assign all speakers and route
them and pay attention to the needs
of each particular county. Charles
Lobdell had charge of the bureau in
1898 and 1900. and T. S. Slower of
lola ran it two years ago.

By some it is said that he went away
to visit some mineral deposits to which
he walks frequently to get samples of
ores for the assayist. By others it is
said he has stolen away to some quiet
retreat where under the shade of
spreading branches, he is emulating
the famous Isaac Walton in pursuing
the chary finny tribe. A careful watch
of the fish market for the next few
days should suffice to prove or dis
prove the truth of this assertion,
however.

saw the Colonel make his exit from the

who came around a corner just in time
to see him disappearing down a stair
way carrying a grip. DEVELOPMENTS

COL. HUNTooN WILL SUE,
Try to Force City Railway to Change
Location of Tracks.

The City Railway company mas denn-
itely and finally refused to comply with
the order of the city council and lay ITS
track at Huntoon and Jackson street in
the center of that street. As result
of the refusal, A. J. Huntoon will OH
Thursday have his attorney commence
legal proceedings against the City Ral-
way company to compel it to lay the
track as he desires. This will tie up
the construction of the pavement on
Huntoon from Jackson to Van Buren,
for a year or more no doubt. 1t is an
other case similar in its general iTn=
portance to the McClintock-Low con-
troVersy, and ought to be settled out of
court as they finally settled that case.
The fight in this Huntoon street pro-
position is between Col. Huntoon and
the city railway. The city merely al
lows its name to be used Col. Huntoon
hires the attorney, and pays the costs
in case he is beaten.
Col. Huntoon claims that as the track
is now laid, it is not in the center OF
the street, and cuts in too close to his
side of the street, not leaving suH1clent
room between the tracks and the curb
ing in which to stand a team. He says
the tracks must be moved over into the
middle of the street before the street
is paved. Now that the city railway
has refused to make the change, the on
the city's name, and mandamuS them.
The railway company's objection to
moving it's tracks is based on the ex-
pense which would be caused. They
weuld have to have new rails made for
the curve, and the track would have
to be torn up for about block up
toward Harrison street, in order to get
the proper sweep for tangent.
Col. Huntoon said today: Il win be-
gin my suit tomorrow am tired wait
ing any longer. 1t will probably be
several years before the matter will be
settled so that the pavement can be
laid -

HITS sIxTY-FooT WHALE.
Big Ship Shakes as With a Chill, but
Monster Still Blows"

New York, July 27.-Another ''fooP'
whale made things hum for a few
moments on the China-Japan steamer
Shimosa. The ShimOsa was coming
into this port from her long three
months trip when the whale tried to
cross the steamers bow.
The stub nose of the British freight
er struck with a noisy thump just
abaft the midship section of Mr..
Whale, and the latter disappeared be-
low the water like a log. There wasn't
a trace of blood, however.
AS the Shimosa had 500 tons of
cargo to back up her collision bulk
head and speed of IS u knots to lend
power to the blow, it was a foregone
conclusion the whale was killed.
Everybody was accordingly dumb,
founde dto see the whale come to the
surface directly in the wake of the
steamer and blow" as if nothing un-
usual had occurred. 1t was then seen
that his whaleship was over 60 feet
long.
