REPORT OF CHRIsTs HOSPITAL.
Shows Substantial Increase in Bust
ness-Much Charity Work

The financial year at the Christ's
hospital ending June l., according to
Dean J. P. De Bevers Kaye was by
far the most successful one in the his
ceipts being $41,7O0.1O, $10,43S.94,
or about % per cent of this amount
going to charity. Although the gain
over preceding years was consider
able, the cost of running the hospital
was but a little more than hundred
dollars more than last year.
The original idea in building the es-
adjustment. was to take care of all
applicants. and during the past year
no one was refused admittance in
pay the fees. notwithstanding this
condition of affairs. at no time was
the institution SO crowded that more
patients could not have been taken
in. The work of the hospital is non
sectarian. The list given below
shows the churches with which the
charity patients were connected and
brings out the fact that out of a total
of 219 persons, only II of them were
Episcopalians. 1t is as follows:
Brethren. 1; Christian, 16; Catholic,
5; Church of God, /; Congregational,
Z: Episcopalian, II; Evangelical, 2;
Luthern. 6; Methodist. %; Mennonite,
1; Presbyterian. 16. None. 10.
Nor was the work of the institution
shown by the following list:
African. %; American, 623: Aus
trian, l. Bohemian. 2; Brazilian, !;
Canadian. q Danish, 2; English, 10;
French, g.: German. IA; Indian, 1 :;
Irish, 3; Norwegian. /; not given. %:
Russian, /; Scotch, 5; Swede, 10. and
Swiss, I.
During the year a total of 735 pa
tients were taken into the hospital
The hospital has done the greater
part of the charity work for the
Provident association. and has sup
piled that organization with a trained
nurse for the entire year.
It is hoped to have in the near
future a new building to replace the
present wooden structure. a fund of
$4,000 having been already secured
which will be a part of the amount
to be used for that purpose. One of
the striking features OF the work OF
the hospital is the fact that it draws
no funds from the state, county or
city. The institution has an endow-
ment. however. of 100000 which
brings in about six and a half per
cent interest.

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.
People May Hear All About Commits
sion Plan Friday.

Inc first steps toward the commits
sion form of government will be TAX
en- tomorrow night at the Commercial
club rooms when six gentleman from
Leavenworth, Mayor Alternately,
commissioners Doege, GRANGER, Knipe.
Marquis and Judge Hacker will speak
to the members of the club and the
people of the city interested in the fl
ing of the petitions for this new sys-
tenn of municipal control. These men
will arrive tomorrow morning and
will be entertained in taking a tour
of the city, and a visit to the larger
institutions.
The meeting at the Commercial
club rooms tomorrow night will be
the regular monthly meeting of the
club. The most important measure
at this time will be the plans for the
handling of the petitions in favor of
the commission form of government.
These petitions will be ready at once
after the meeting of the club decides
that the commission form is the
right thing.
Several of the members of the club
have in their possession clippings
from different parts of the country
telling of the disadvantages of this
system. This morning there was a
very severe article in the Kansas City
Post accusing the officials at Leav-
enworth in being grafters and giving
out the statement that the people
were in favor of retreating back to
the old council form. There are a
number of tender charges in this ar
ticle-also in several other articles
clipped by different members of the
Commercial club. These clippings
and they will be asked to answer
them.

Attic il S

Miss Mary Mannering delighted a
large audience at the Grand last night
liz her comedy, 1.-The Independent Miss
Cover The play is unique both with
respect to plot and subject matter. 1t
is the story of a blase society girl who
refused to take life seriously. She
held commanding position in the So
ciety columns of the newspapers,
laughed at the suitors for her hand
and was known as IAN all round good
fellow" Her father insisted that she
get married and he was ably seconded by
her brother. They objected to being
known as the father and brother of
the beautiful and accomplished Miss
Cover. Driven to desperation, she de-
cides to accept one of her most per-
Sistent SuitorS and sends servant to
him with a note apprising him of her
decision to marry him. The young man,
Richard Selden. an artist, was on his
way to the Cover home to attend a
luncheon and passed the servant on the
road and the letter was left at the
SeIden studio. Miss Cover finds when
Selden arrives that he had not received
her letter and a little later discovers
that he is in love with another girl
and intends to marry her Miss Cover
naturally decides that she must get
| her letter and she goes to the Selden
studio to recover it. There she meets
| a friend of the artist. Austin Ayr who
was waiting at the studio for Seldens
return. Ayr, who poses as a woman

studio and then he conveniently knocks

scribes them for the benefit of her I'M
cultured guests

clothes and was pretty as usual. 1t
would be impossible to imagine a part

an Action for Divorce.

Mrs Alma r. Summers, now a resi-
dent of Topeka, has commenced divorce
proceedings against her husband Chas.
Porter Summers, a wealthy ranchman

and plaintiff We're married in 1882, and
moved to Kingman county about 20
years ago. She states further that sew

son, became extremely jealous and
abusive, making false charges of in

COUNTY WILL HELP.
Pay Part of Expenses of People Bitten
by Supposed Mad Dog.

This morning the county commission
ers decided to assist Mrs. Arthur
Dewey and children, who were bitten
Wednesday morning by an alleged mad
dog. They want to go to the Pasteur
institute in Chicago for treatment, but
are poor people, and haven't the neces-
sary money The commissioners have
furnished them with transportation,
and number of friends are out today,
endeavoring by subscription, to raise
the money necessary for treatment at
the institute. DR.. D. T. Nicoll, county
physician, will accompany Mrs Dewey
and her children to Chicago. Mr.. W.
B. Ayler, a friend of the Dewey family,
started the subscription with IS, and
within a few hours this morning, about
half of the necessary money had been
raised.
The farmers living near the Dewey
home south of the city, are greatly
disturbed over the current talk that the
dog which attacked Mrs. Dewey and
her children, had previously bitten
several cows and calves.
