The little green pest, the insect with
the short but merry life, was in the
majority. They occupied the front of
the stage, and butted their little brains
out with joy. The next largest family
present was the squeaking cricket fam
ily- Several billions of the black bugs
with thorns in their tails clogged the
screen doors. and a lot of Kansas ave-
nue. cold dope dealers were forced. to
lock their doors and put out the
! lights.
Occasionally one of those fire
beetles. the big black crawlers with
shells like Missouri Democrats, would
look in upon the festivities, crack his
vertebrate on light globe and pass
away, to the regret of the passerby
who CHANGED to step on his worthless
carcass.
The holes in Kansas avenue were
full of the little green grass bugs this
morning. The crickets seem to be a
tough lot, and managed to crawl away
and hide after being put out of aerial
commission by a jolt. They do this
with view of coming out and raising
hob some other night. Not so with
the little green one. He is content to
whoop it up for one night and then
cash in.
All night the pestiferous bugs were
paying their ardent attentions to every
blushing light globe in town, to the
disgust and discomfort of all who
CHANGED to be in lighted place.

THE REDDEN FUNERAL.
DIR. AIderson's Touching Reference to
Death of Two Brothers.


The funeral services were held over
the remains of the late Judge A. L.
Redden at 4:30 Thursday afternoon at
the Redden house, 1101 Topeka ave-
nue.. The elegant home of the family
was crowded with the admirers and
friends of the deceased who by their
presence mutely attested the high
esteem and love for the departed. The
floral designs were elaborate and the
rooms were banked with roses and
lilies, the offerings of friends of the
family. A beautiful bouquet of roses
was the offering of the Shawnee coun-
ty bar, of which Judge Redden was
one of the most prominent and active
members. Thirty members of the bar
met at the east wing of the state house
and attended the funeral in a body.
After the ceremony they took a pri-
vate car that was in waiting and ac-
companied the remains to the ceme-
terry, where the ceremony was COM
pleted.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. S. W. Anderson, of Cleveland.
Ohio, who was formerly pastor of the
First Presbyterian church in this city,
to which both Judge Redeem and Mrs.
Redden belonged. The services were
very simple and impressive. DR.. Al
derson reviewed the pure and noble
life of the deceased and pointed out
many of his unostentatious charities
intimate friends of the deceased. The
eulogy was the outpouring of a soul
that mourned the loss of a dearest
friend, and was so touching and earn
est that all were impressed with the
sincerity of the address and mourned
in sympathy for the friends of the de-
parted judge. During the course of
his remarks Rev. Anderson said:
Twice have I been called into this
family on the same sad mission to per-
form the last rites over a father and
husband. In the first instance the
taking away was indeed sad, but the
husband and father had been a pa
tient sufferer for months and the end
was not unexpected. In this instance
the taking away is made doubly sad
when we contemplate that but a few
hours ago Judge Redden was man
in perfect health and seemed to have
the promise of many years of health
and usefulness" This reference to the
death of DR.. Redden, whose widow his
brother, whose funeral was being
held, had married, brought tears to
many eyes.
DR.. Anderson continued: Gin the
death of Judge Redden the state has
lost one of its foremost citizens, To-
peka a man who thought always for
the towns advancement and better
ment and you a friend and neighbor.
There are few better men than Judge
Redden was He had high Ideals and
noble impulses and lived up TO tnem
always. He was always to be found
enlisted on the side of the right. and
fought many times for what he con-
sidered right when that side had few
friends and it would have been more
profitable to have made friends with
evil. But that was never his way

CATION. The commissioners and en-
gineers reported that matters might
be helped by raising the railroad
bridges across the stream and narrow
ing the piers. They also found abutt-
ments and entertainments along the
bank which were constructed by bust
ness houses. The removal of these
distractions is expected to make
better outlet for the stream, and the
engineers stated to the war depart
ment, which has such things in con-
troll, that the way to secure their re-
moval would be to declare the river
navigable. Years ago the stream was
considered meanderable and the gov
eminent simply took up this point as
still holding. Evidence was ordered
taken at Kansas City. After working
three days the hot weather caused an
adjournment to be ordered until Sep
TENDER 16. Now the matter has taken
OF new phase. United States At
torney Dean thinks that the different
defendants are willing to comply with
any. reasonable demand of the govern
ment and discontinue expensive and
tedious litigation. The move of the
Union Pacific to confer with the secre-
tary of war indicates Mr.. Deans state
ment to be correct. A general com
promise will probably be effected.

A NEGRO is ARRESTED.
Believed to Be Wanted for Attempted
Murder 1T Mcfarland.

Steve Prouty. a negro who is being
held at the city Jail under a vagrancy
charge, is suspected of the assault on
Richard Wells, the young man who
was almost beaten to death by un-
known thugs at Mcfarland Wednesday
night.
Prouty was arrested Friday after
noon by officer Hendricks. and has
been identified by Harry Croft, who
runs a restaurant in Mcfarland, as
one of two negroes who were hanging
around Mcfarland Wednesday.
The man who runs the pump engine
at Mcfarland will be down today to
see if he can identify Prouty. The
pump man saw two negroes coming
from the direction of the place where
Wells was found. and the next man
who passed, only few minutes later,
found the body on a pile of bridge
timbers. The two negroes approached
the door of the pump house after tn
unconscious man had been carried in,
and then ran away.
Wells mother arrived at Mcfarland
from Wellington Friday. The doctors
say there is a slight chance for Wells
recovery, although his skull was SO
badly fractured that it was necessary
to put in a treDhine two inches square,
and he is still unconscious.
