OLD Year is GONE
AND NOW The new
Soap Man Gets in His Work
On Windows.
AS FOR MN Ely E A R S
Pandemonium Reigned at IL
O'clock Last Night.

Amid the shrieking of whistles, the toot-
ing of horns and the discharging of fire
arms last night, the old year 1903 was
watched out by many and the new year
1904 came in.
While there were but few special watch
parties, the principal streets were
thronged with people who saw the old
out and the new in. The Salvation Army
held watch services and a parade of the
streets was made, commencing exactly
at II o'clock. party of bicyclists,
equipped with horns, contributed greatly
to the pandemonium with which the new
year was received and the whistles of
all railroad locomotives were turned
loose for period of ten minutes.
Perhaps no new year in Wichita was
welcomed with as much noise as that of
1904. On account of there having been
no preparations made for the weicom-
ing of the new year many Wichitans
who were disturbed in their slumbers
no doubt wondered considerably before
they could think what was the occa-
sion.
The night was ideal and the nearly
full moon made the principal streets al
most as light as day. The soap man, who
has appeared regularly for the past nine
years, was on hand and soon got in his
work 1t was not long until nearly every
plate glass window in Wichita was dec

usually takes the average citizen about
one week to fully realize that he is living

New Years services will be held at most
of the churches this evening. Last night
there were several parties where the old
and new year were danced, the one out
and the other in. At the Country club
house the senior members gave ball
for the junior members. Many were
present and an enjoyable time is re-
ported. Prof Blumes orchestra fur
nished the music.
Most of the places of business VIII be
closed today in honor of the first day
of the new year. The dry goods stores
and railroad offices will be closed all day,
while most other places will observe
half holiday. The drug stores VIII DE
closed from 1 until o'clock.

RICH TEN ARE
NOT ALL HAPPY.
croesus, King of Lydia, Had Troubles
of His Own and There Are Others,

| OF His Own, and There Are OtherS.
Croesus the John D. Rockefeller Of the
kingdom of Lydia. was very ,well-to-do in
worldly goods and chattels. "As rich as
Croesus' is saying about $500 years old.
He had his troubles. however, and some
of them were full grown. He was taken
captive once by Cyrus and only saved
himself from being burned alive by quot
ing saying of Scion, the Sage. He Tin
ally had to flee his kingdom for parts
unknown
Many Of the rich mans troubles today
come from high living and could be
avoided. They are brought on by eating
all kinds of rich, heavy foods at irreg-
ular times, lack of proper exercise, undue
mental strain, unnatural stimulants, etc,
and are commonly known as Indigestion,
dyspepsia and weak stomach They are
serious troubles all right, but not only
can they be avoided but can also be
cured, and that without loss of time or
proper food and nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the GER
tain relief of dyspeptics, rich and poor
alike There is no such thing as stopping
their onward progress now. A great ma
ton has placed its stamp of approval
and thousands of cures they have effected
and the happiness resulting therefrom
have made their name a household word
throughout the land
The story of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
can be told in a word They actually do
the work that the weak and wasted stom-
ach is unable to do and allow it to re-
cuperate and regain it's strength They
contain all the essential properties that
the gastric juice and other digestive fluids
do, and they digest the food just as
sound and well stomach would. They
relieve the stomach just as one rested
and refreshed workman relieves the one
on duty that is tired and worn, and
nature does her own work of restoration
1t is a simple, natural process that
child can understand. You can eat all
you want without fear of results. Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are for, sale by
all druggists at so cents a box. Drug
gists all know better than to try to get
along without them, as the demand for
them is great and universal.

REMINDED OF WAR TIMES.
Old Soldiers Discuss Famous John

Some of the old soldiers yesterday We're
discussing the Morgan raid into Ohio dur

started by little story discovered by
Judge Balderston in the Belmont Ohio
Chronicle.
lack Thomas is native Of Ohio, and

tied Morgan's camp. Col Bean can tell
more stories about the famous raid than
any other man in Wichita. because he
was one of the rough riders of the John

of the raid in the state. With his brother

brought here and imprisoned in the peni-
Tertiary. Their stay was short, for. dis
covering that an air chamber ran beneath

confined, they dug their way into this

The credit for engineering this coup was
