WILL BE WARM Err.
Todd Still Insists That Weather VIII
Moderate.

Forecast for Wichita and vicinity:
Somewhat cloudy; rising temperature.
For Kansas: Partly cloudy; warmer.
In response to demands from the entire
community. the man that makes the
weather has given out the assurance that
the clear, bright balmy breeze will soon
cavort once more for the benefit Of
Kansas in general and Wichita in par
ticular. Unless Unforeseen conditions
arise the clouds that are prophecied for
today will roll away and the sun will
assist in creating that feeling of lassitude
which is dubbed spring fever.
Clear weather is generally shown in all
sections this morning except over the
western Gulf states and Pacific coast. a
ridge of abnormally high pressure over
lies the lower Missouri valley. 1t has
caused a general decline in temperature
over the Mississippi valley and western
Gulf states. \ disturbance is making its
appearance over the Pacific northwest
this morning The indications point 10 the
eastward movement of this storm. which
will cause a rise in temperature in this
section in the next thirty hours. The
precipitation in the past twenty-four
hours has been unimportant except at
Little Rock where 81 of an inch was
recorded.
The maximum temperature yesterday
was 81 degrees; minimum. 10 degrees.

noon and Night, Too.

About two thousand people were pres

on the previous evening and a jollier.

find.
Owing to the great success that the
circus is proving and to the many re
quests that have been made, the enter

afternoon and evening.
\ true circus feature not to be over
looked is the selling of popcorn and pea
nuts by the little boys. who shout the
wares at the top of their strong, young
voices and by the way, make tremen-

GIRLS ARE CHARGED
With MANSLAUGHTER
Police Arrest People Wanted
in Ohio.
AT TOWN OF BECYRUS
PriSocerS Say They Were Only
Witnesses.

Winnie Stevens and Katherine Pohle,
two girls of quiet, refined appearance,
were yesterday arrested on complaint of
John Gebhardt, sheriff of Crawford coun-
~. Ohio. by the local police on the charge
of manslaughter.
The girls had arrived in Wichita only
last Sunday. coming here from Gage, o.
r, where they had gone Immediately af-
ter the trouble that caused them TO leave
their home in Bucyrus, Q.
Yesterday afternoon Chief Burt received
a telegram from Bucyrus, stating that the
girls had left Chic for this state and ask
ing him to locate them if possible and
detain them until the sheriff of that
county could come for them. At four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the girls
were located and Immediately taken into
custody The sheriff of Crawford county
was wired to that effect and an answering
telegram was soon received stating that,
on account of the funeral services OF
Mark Hanna the proper requisition papers
necessary to remove the girls from this
state. could not be obtained. Chief Burt,
by persuasive argument obtained the sig
extradition rights and Immediately wired
the sheriff TO that effect.
The girls. who at the time of their
leaving BucyTus, We're well liked and ap-
parently Of respectable department, are
charged with completely in and criminal
knowledge Of an assault which resulted
fatally on the person of young man
named Muth. who at the time was an ad-
mirer of the older girl. Winnie Stevens.
From the reports received it appears
that the murdered man was assaulted in
a public dance hall and beaten to such
an extent that he died about two weeks
later The crime is charged direct to an
other man who was also an admirer Of
the Stevens girl, and both Katie Pahle
Winnie are held as accessories thereto.
Both girls feel keenIy the disgrace of
the accusation and are firm in their de-
claraticn of innocence. maintaining that
they are wanted simply as witnesses to
give an account Of the fight and help by
evidence to acquit the man who was pre-
sumably directly responsible for the death
They state that this man, a highly re-
spected citizen of that community, was
Of jealous disposition and had on several
occasions before this time come to blows
with the deceased. After the fight oc-
CURED the girls left the city the next
day. at least ten days before the actual
death occurred, which in itself, is point
in favor of the accused, who claim that
they know nothing of the fight beyond the
fact that Muth. the dead man, had re-
peatedly threatened his adversary, and
that hard feelings had existed for some
time between the two men on account of
the Stevens girl
Mr.. Gebhardt. the sheriff of Crawford
county. is expected to arrive in Wichita
some time Sunday and he will immediate
ly leave for Ohio with the two in charge
As the girls seemed TO have plenty
of money and were willing to pay for
the services of a special officer rather
than go to Jail they will be allowed their
freedom under guard until the arrival
of the Chic sheriff.

that he must go up town and go to the
bank and get a sight draft for money
enough TO buy the feed as he had just
received a letter saying that the horses
would be in town that day
Il went with him to the bank and en-
dorsed a draft for $500 and we drove
around town as L had little shopping
to do We also went down to the depot
where he asked about when the freight
would be in, so he would know when to
be on hand. They told him at go. AS it
was then getting late we hurried home
and / got him an early lunch so that he
would be on time when the horses were
unloaded He ate his lunch, left the house
and We have not seen him since. He did
not fail to take the s25 with him.
He was positively the smoothest man
/ ever saw. Every proposition he made
was so plausible and straight forward.
He even told US all about his people, and
engaged rooms for his wife. who was
coming also, and said she was quite a
musician and would be good company for
me-"
The authorities are after him now
and we hope to make an example Of him
as he certainly is an all-around smooth
crook. He has every appearance of being
straight while talking to you but if stu
died he has the features of a common
criminal
Mrs. Maulsby gave the following de-
scription of the man:
six feet tall, dark, thin hair and high,
full forehead, blue gray eyes, small
mouth. and very long prominent ears.
He looks rather young. wears black
clothes and a SLOUGH hat. walks slightly

even fifty thousand pounds, rather
than two small factories making only
twenty-five thousand pounds each.
With two small factories, where there
is room for only one, the cost of max
ing the butter will necessarily be
higher than is at present the case in
the Mountain View creamery, and the
patrons will be getting even less for
their cream than now. When COM
munity has grown to such proportions
as to make it impossible for one
creamery to take care of all the cream
in the section, then it is time to talk
about starting a second factory But,
so far as we have been able to learn,
this particular Sunnyside district has
not yet reached that point where two
creameries, pulling in opposite di-
rections, can be operated as profitably
as the one now there. The Ranch
wants to see every Sunnyside patron
receive the highest possible price for
his cream, but does not believe that
an attempt to knock an established
creamery in the head would bring
about mat result.

Cost and Profit in Buttermaking.

On page six of this issue there ap-
pears a communication from the
Mountain View creamery, of Sunny
side. The writer goes into figures
that tend to indicate the Mountain
View creamery is not getting an ex-
horbitant price from it's patrons for
the cost of running the business. The
creamery charges it's patrons 5X
cents gross for making the butter
and it's expenses for hauling, shipping,
commission, ETC.. are higher per pound
than is the case with the Seattle
creameries. In the article in The
Ranch of July list, referred to by the
Mountain View writer, the statement
was made that cit is impossible to
say how much a pound butter should
cost for making, as conditions vary in
every locality" Attention was also
called to the fact that "it should be
remembered always that the small
creamery or cheese factory must
charge a larger figure for cost per
pound than the large one" Now that
the Sunnyside creamery has come
forward with it's figures and explain
ed conditions it does not appear to
be too high figure that they are
charging.
Prices for butter the past few
months have been lower than a year
ago, with the result that the creamery
patrons have not been receiving as
much for their cream as they did last
year. This probably made them
somewhat disappointed and created a
good opportunity for some of the dis
satisfied ones to set afloat talk of
starting another creamery in Sunny
side. Before any such step is taken
those who expect to furnish the cream
to the new creamery should consider
whether it would not be better to have
one good, large factory making over
a hundred thousand pounds year, or
