Some complaints were made again yes terday about the condition of Chisholm creek. It was reported that the water sup ply from the Little river was not as plenti ful as was necessary to carry away all the objectionable matter received by the stream. This has resulted in the stream becoming much more obnoxious than it was a few days ago when the water supply was greater. The arbitration board was busy yesterday receiving evidence on the part of the city and as represented by one yesterday the evidence from both skies would likely be in the last of the week when the board would have all the facts before it and could commence figuring on the result. THE FINEST IN THE WEST. Tho New- Street Railway System or Wichita Unexcelled. There is no local enterprise or improve ment of more importance to the future growth, development and greatness of "Wichita than rapid -and extensive street transportation. "With a city laid out, as is ours, laid out with a view to room, and ample grounds and surroundings for every home, taken together with tho fact of our even and level stretches, quick and relia ble street transit from the center to every suburb is of vastly more importance than many think. The day in coming soon when the business of Wichita will be cen tered and concentrated again, when all the scattered places of trade and merchandise will be located on one of her five or six central business streets, but the homes, in which live the people who do the business at the city's center will, ow ing to our peculiarly favorable site and location as a city, be scattered out at long and roomy distances, as will also factories and such like interests. Rapid transit will then not only prove a luxury but a necessity. For a verification of these facts and the necessities mentioned look to any of the larger cities of the country. How later improved methods of quick and cheap transportation have widened out New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and in fact every great city in the country. Wichita is now having the finest and most complete system of street transportation built ever enjoyed by any western city, and it will be made as comprehensive as complete at an early day. It is a very expensive in vestment, built as it is being built, but it will stand solid for all time. But for this evident solidity people might become im patient of delay. But the work is being pushed with all the speed possible with so thorough and costly a work. Of the sys tem as a whole the Eagle will give its readers a full description as soon as it is completed. In the meantime, it will be but a few days until the double tracks will be down on the principal streets and the electric motors flying along them. STATEMENT OF FACTS. Howard Hartzell, the young telegraph operator, who has at times been very low and weak for the past two months, made the following statement to an Eagle re porter at the stock yards Exchange hotel yesterday regarding the payment due on a watch from his friend, Ed. Griffith: It appears that Griffith purchased, or agreed to purchase, a watch from the American Watch Club company, the pur chase price being $34, .$17 of which he paid at the time he made the bargain, and was to get the watch when he paid the balance. In the meantime, however, he went away, and after a time sent young Hartzell $17, with a request that he go to the office of the watch compan', pay the amount, get the watch and send it to him. Before this time arrived, how ever, one of the partners in the watch com pany had skipped out and it was impos sible to get the watch or the amount which had already been paid on it. Hartsell wrote his friend the facts, asked him what he should do with the money. In the meantime ho did not wish to carry the money around with him, as he was then a messenger boy workins nights for tho Western Union, and he asked Burt Man chester, then night press operator, and who he had known four years, if lie would not take care of the money until he could hear from Griffith. The operator took the money and in about ten days lie, too, skipped out, taking the money with him and leaving several other creditors iu the lurch. Young Hartzell at once wrote his friend concerning the matter and has since written him several times but has never recived any reply. Young Hartzell is improving fast within the past few days, and the commission men and everybody connected with the stockyards hope to see him at the key again soon, as he is a great favorite with all of them. MAKING THE LAW FIT THE CASE. Yesterday afternoon a peculiar case came up before Squire Mosely. The case was the state vs. Pat Egan, charged with sell ing his tools twice, and Mathew Garver was the prosecuting witness. There were no attorneys in the case, and Garver and Egan each made their own case. Egan was pretty full, and having just got out of jail, was very familiar with the law. 1 le brow beat tho witnesses and then cussed them because they would not swear the way he wanted them to. Constable Brazier had his hands full keeping him within the bounds of court etiquette. Egan said all he wanted was a fair chance aud he would prove his innocence. The court good-naturedly gave him a chance and all the license possible. Garver put his witness on the stand and made a good ease without much trouble and was willing to rest it without argument. He proved that Euan had sold him his shoemaker's tools for $2.25, and that Egan had taken possession of them again and had endeavored to dispose of them the second time. Egan wanted to argue the cae, and claimed the law if properly applied would clear him. Some one interrupted him by saying he was just out of jail, and he re sponded by saying that yes, and that even under such adverse circumstances ho had been recognized as a gentleman. "The law,'' he continued, "exempts a man's tools by which ho makes his living from seizure for debt. Xow, if a man gets $2.25 for something which he does not deliver he owes a debt of $2.23, but tho creditor cn not come into court and siexe his tools for the debt, when they are his only means of making a living and paying his honest debts." The court could not see the force of the argument as Pat did and told him that he would line him $1 and costs and send him up for ten days on general principle-, and he thought it would take about ten days for him to get sober. Pat then wanted to tell about some prominent business man who had tried to hire him to burn up the city but no one was inclined to listen any further. FOURTH OF JCX.Y ORATORY. Wichita will be represented by its orators in many places tomorrow. While Wichita is groat in a commercial way it is not gen erally overlooked that oratory is found more abundantly here than in auy other western city. And as to tho Fourth of July daylight fireworks, some one observed that the craze for speech making was coming back. For three or four years there seemed little demand and the market glutted, but this year scarcely a grove, city or town that will not have some oratory on the program. It is labeled warranted to do no injury if it don't cure, but it is represented to be a sure cure. Of the Wichita orators to face enthusi astic audiences tomorrow may be men tioned: Colonel J. R, Hallowell, who will speak at Medicine Lodge. Colonel M. Stewart, at Belle Plain. W. W. Charles, nt Latham. P. A. Rohrbnugh and W. P. Campbell, at Gueda Springs. C. F. Collin, at Conway Springs. T. F. McMechnn, at- Fort Reno, to the Cheyennos and Arrapahoes. George S. Wilson, at the grove near Hays villa. A street force was ongaged yesterday lev eling and putting Fairview avenue into good shape. AN INVESTIGATOR. Mr. August Bonnin, of Bordeau,France, was in the city yesterday for several hours and intends to prosecute his travels through the western states for several months before returning home. He is a practical fruitgrower at home and has been traveling in Kansas and adjoining states to secure reliable information in the inter est of an emigration company. He says that an impression prevails amongst his people that much of the advertising matter sent ont by the different immigration bu reaus gives such exaggerated ideas of the couritry that many are afraid to risk the trip to America. In answer to questions he said that he had seen some circulars, etc., bearing on Kansas and he thought the Kansas people were poor ad vertisers, He says that many of Kansas' strongest inducements to the immigrant are not mentioned and he finds that it is at the present the best state in the Union for the immigrant. He continued that some of the matter that had been sent out I by some of the other states was quite misleading and vin his opinion abso lutely false. With that politeness charac teristic of his race he paid Kansas and especially this portion of it. some very pleasing compliments but it was quite evi dent that he will have a good report to make of Sedgwick county on his return. He spends the greater portion of his time in the country and unfortunately had only a few moments for conversation. He will endeavor to take a lay-over in Wichita for a few days to rest on his return from Medicine Lodge, which will be as far south as he intends to go, taking in all the inter mediate points on his frip. TRAINING FOR THE CAMPAIGN. Mr. II. G. Toler yesterday moved the horses to engage in the fall campaign to the Davidson stables at Riverside. The half-mile track will be used daily in exer cises preparatory to the races. Those moved were: Ashland Wilkes, Myron McHenry, Wichita Chief, Mt. Airy. Ash land has been entered for Independence, la., Wichita, Hutchinson and Denver. At Denver ho is in the 2:20 stallion stake race. Mt. Airy is entered at Mexico, Mo., 3 min ute race stake, $1,000. McHenry is en tered at Mexico, Sedalia, Denver and at Wichita iu the two-year-old futurity stake. Bob Miley, owned by James Cairns, will make the circuit with the Toler campaign ers. The horses will be under the manage ment of Wm. Ramsey. Ashland Wilkes has served fifty-seven mares during the season, and is in most excellent condition. Mr. Toler says he is going out after something less than 2:20 this year, in fact a good deal less and with the average luck he proposes to do a good deal better than that. The Toler stock made a most credit able showing last year and not only adver tised itself to an advantage but also Wich ita .and southern Kansas. . During the campaign locally in the city there is much interest shown in finding out how tho races come out and especially whero Ash land Wilkes appeared. L;ist year he won almost every heat in every race and the local interest become so greatat times that it looked like Ashland was owned by the city or at least Wichita was greatly inter ested in his success. YESTERDAY'S FIRE ALARMS. The fire bells began to ring at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and the boys, although they suspected the alarm was not all right from the way it came in, promptly turned out to answer the box at the corner of Main and Central. As they supposed, it was false, but just how it came to be turned in was not clear. Later in the day it was found that the lineman had crossed a wire at that time and in some manner an uncertain alarm came in purporting to be from that box. The department has had quite a long rest and everything is so dry the boys are all on the alert. About half past four in the afternoon another alarm came in from To peka and Douglas, but they were on hand and had it extinguished before any dam age was done. A little girl esiding in the Davidson-Throckmorton building on To peka, just in tho rear of 1 he Manhattan, managed to set a curtain on fire and if it had not been for tho prompt response of the department serious consequences might have been the result. l'RACTICE SHOOT WICHITA GUN CLUH.

A surprise party was given by Mrs. J. T. Dorsey in honor of her husband last nicht at their home, 523 West Third street. The affair was a grand success in every par ticular.

Trouble Over Alley Paving at .the Zlmmerlr Block Several Bouts Between City En- Slneer and Others The Property Line Chestnut. There was considerable excitement around the Zimmerly block corner yester day over the measurement for paving the alley adjoining the block on the east. It may be recalled that some time ago the city engineer concluded that the Zimmerly block, according to his measurement, was two or three feet too far east and en croached to that extent on the alley. Xot being able to cut a slice off the building promptly he had represented it as his duty to remove the flagstone walk in front of the building for the two or three feet and have it paved the same as the alley. Ac cording to his instructions an assistant proceeded to scratch around on the stone, making marks to be observed in putting in the alley paving. Attorney Osborne and C. A. Walker succeeded in setting the engin eer to hold on until the matter could be brought before the council and over one week ago the council passed a resolution offered by Councilman Johnson not to dis turb the walk in front of the block in put ting down the alley paving but to pave even with the building. Yesterday morning the city engineer again commenced to mark for alley pav ing, and observed what he claimed was the resolution. He made the line even with the wall of the building, but this is eight inches in front of the granite column on the corner, which extends eight inches east of the wall. Messrs. Osborne and Walker maintained the resolution was intended to make the curb and paving line even with the east line of the granite column, but the en gineer thought different. Mr. John son, who submitted the resolution, was sent for and claimed he intended to have no alley paving in front of the granite column but Jackman maintained the resolution did not read that way and he could not act according to the wishes of those interested. The mayor was sent for and held that the sidewalk and paving line should be even with the east line of the granite column but this went for noth ing also. The eight-inch flag stone was cutout in front of the granite column all the same and according to the engineer the cobble stone or Fort Collins sand stone will take its place. There was consider able feeling manifested about the matter yesterday. Some insisted that the city en gineer had a bad liver and was trying to bear everything for some cause or no cause. It brought up the survey question again which means that every new city engineer finds a new starting point and some have blocks out in the street at one end and back on the alley at the other Some have Douglas aud Main shoved off to one side and Billy Harry is to pay every time any improvement is to be made. The city engineer officially alive when tho Zim merly block was constructed, gave the lines. He was depended upon for it aud the block so constructed being superin tended by Thomas Jewell. In fact, all tho leading blocks in the city were located by city engineers, and, in any given block every engineer not having located said block, claims it is not located properly. While this is quite a chestnut it is ji very interesting one to those who own brick blocks and contemplate making such im provements. The Waco avenue question is again being considered by some of the property owners on tho avenue, who are anxious to have straight sidewalks and a property line somewhat different from a crosscut saw. A DOUIIIjK ACCIDENT. One day last week Mr. D. A. Wilson, while tending a harvester in the country, by some means got his right arm caught iu the machinery in such a way as to seri ously injure it. By careful nursing the Injury healed rapidly and by yesterday he was able to go into the harvest field. The same machine became clogged in the same way as before, and in trying to free it il r Wilson had the same arm caught in the same way and injured again at the same place. He was in the city late in tho af ternoon consulting a surgeon about his injured member, which he was nursing with scrupulous tenderness. He has fully determined now to not monkey with a harvester any more this season, if ever. lailERALi WITH WATKR. The hot weather, according to Mr. Ams bury, of the water company, calls for much more water than the average de mand. He don't like it very much that so many hydrants are left open during the night and in nearly every block, he says, some fellow floods his lawn all night. lie insists that this is just a little more than the company has contracted for, as no hose should be in service unless in the hands of some one. So far no arrests have been made for violation of contract but such ac tion may be taken in the absence of a con tinued violation. As estimated the bom pany every warm day furnishes nearly a million gallons more water than it should according to contracts. THANKS. The directors of tho Wichita hospital (formerly Benevolent Home) wish to ex press their warm thanks to those who as sisted in making their sociable a great suc cess. To Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Allen for the use of their beautiful lawn: Mrs. Dr. Furley for her admirable rendering of "Biddy's Photograph;" the Misses Gertrude and Mildred Hays, Mrs. Dave Hays and Miss Stacie Xiederlander for instrumental music; the Misses Goldberg and Robert Smythe for delightful song-.; all of which greatly added to the pleasure of the even ing and the financial succes of the enter tainment. Mrs. A. Basley, President Wichita Hospital. INFORMATION WASTED IIAULY. A letter addressed to the postmaster, having been written by S. J. Jugsworth, of Wadingford, Vu, wants to know if there are any masons in Wichita, and if no or ganizations of the kind here how near Wichita is there a masonic lodge. The let ter was given over to a mason in the city, who gave him some data about the masonic fraternity as found in Wichita, and as a post script inquired if the state of Ver mont had yet been admitted into the Union. Mr. Frank Smith stated, yester day, that nearly every day he receives let ters almost as ridiculous as t.he one re ferred to, in fact, some of them are even more ridiculous. A JIASONIC FKAST. The Grand Master of Masons of the state of Kansas will visit Wichita Lodge Xb. &2, tonight on his annual tour of inspection, and a great time is anticipated by the boys. The work in the third degree, it is under stood, will be exemplified by the grand master himself. He will also be present at the laying of the corner stone of the new city ball on Friday, and the cereoMBSes will be directly in the heads of the grand lodge. RAILWAY PETITIONS. The late consolidation of railway Haes seenis to have wakened np other interes, and peauoas are oat for two coa tectums with Wichita, to be followed by aaother for a line which will be of interstate im portance. The petitions are being sigaed by everybody, and the cirenbuors of them I sav that It will be bat the work of a very lew cavs to secure tne accessary noaj&er i of sigaaMtres. One of the potisioas is for j a connection with the Caioa Pacific. I THE FOURTH OUTIiINED. Parade and City Bnlldlnjr Corner Stone Cer emoniesRiverside a Specialty In the Afternoon and Fire "Works In the Evenlmr Many Visitors Assured. The council committee consisting of Carson, Glaze and Martin, to arrange the program for corner stone ceremonies, met at the board of trade yesterday with some of the secret order representatives. Dr. C. E. Martin will be marshal of the day, hav ing the parade in charge. It was agreed to form parade on First and Market streets; march north on Market to Central avenue; west to the west side of Main, and south to Williams. This line of march was considered the most, practical in view of the present demoralized condition of the streets, owing to paving and street railway improvements. Otherwise Douglas and Main would see the parade equally. The committee was unable to assign position of the various societies to be rep resented m the parade but will do so to morrow, and the exact information desired to enable a neat parade furnished in to morrow's EAGLE. All the leading societies have accepted the invitation to join in the parade, and to the Masons in the city six lodges in surrounding towns will be repre sented. The ceremonies will be conducted by the Blue Lodge Masons and the Knight Templars acting as escort. The city coun cil in carriages and fire department will join in the parade. It was gained at the railroad offices that many hundred people are expected to visit the city tomorrow. They will take in the corner ceremony and with others in tho city no doubt make a specialty of the pro gram, the variety program to be followed out over on Riverside. The varity there will range up or down, from oratory to base ball, wrestling matches, horse racing, bicycle and boat racing. - A RUNAWAY. An exciting runaway occurred yesterday afternoon on South Hydraulic avenue which happily resulted iu no fatal con sequences, owing to the pluck of a small lad who had not yet arrived at the dignity of wearing suspenders. The horses were pretty badly used up after their long run, and a passerby who saw the finale says he thinks that they were badly overheated. A farmer had occasion to leave his team for a moment, putting the reins in tho hands of his little boy probably six or seven years of age and be side him sat his little sister probably a year his junior. The horses were large and evidently had some spirit and the wagon was an ordinary farm wagon hav ing a board laid across it for a seat which was fortunately securely fastened. The explosion of a firo cracker startled the team and they went tearing south at a breakneck speed. At tho first jump the little girl was thrown into the bottom of the wagon and with her brother's assistance got one arm around the board seat and tho other around his leg, which in reality kept them both from being thrown out. He did not get fright ened and drop tho reins and, although it is questionable if a full grown man could have controlled the horses, he kept tho reins and steered them down the center of the avenue. They passed several teams that did not see them in time to offer auy assistance and it is probably best that no interference was met with. Away they went to the south, the little brown legged urchin holding on like a good fellow and steering clear of all obstacles until two bridges were successfully crossed and the horses slowed up from sheer ex haustion. The team was here met by an other farmer who turned the horses about and drove them back to meet the horrified father, who was doing his best to overtake them on foot. The little fellow's grit will make a man of him. WATER FOR SCHOOL RUILDING. It will require about one thousand feet of pipe to bring water to College Hill school building. Tho water main will 1m? tapped by a three-quarter inch pipe which will be extendad to the building. Be fore any stone or brick work can be done it is nece.s-.ary to have water. The contractor made that provision in his contract and the school board thought as it was neces sary to lay the pipe to supply the building it had better be done in time to save money iu the erection of the building. The contractor has been ready to commence the stone work for some days but no water. The pipe necessary could not be found in the city and hence a delay was forced. The pipe arrived last evening and work will commence today putting it in place. It is thought that within four or five days the stone work can commence. WICHITA KQUAI, TO TUB DKMANI). Messrs. Charles L. Lynch and C. W. Schwinn, of Wellington, spent yesterday in the city. They have deckled to start a drug store at Wellington, and spent the day here to see if C. A. Pott- & Co. could furnish their stock. If the company could not they would go on east. They stated last evening that they had found every thing here most satisfactory and had aban doned the hopes of going farther east. In addition to getting goods a cheap here as anywhere, the savinc of freight from eren Kansas City, was 53 cents per hundred. This would be quite an item of itself, in addition to being within telephone reach for placing future orders. RAPID WORK, A tolerably cloe calculation lias been made of the length of time that will be re quired to finish the work of paving the sidewalk on the south side of Douglas ave du8 lietween Water street and the east end of the bridge. Estimating the time by the progress made on the finished portion aod the present rate at which the work is being done, it , confidently expected that the job will be completed by July 4, 15, or thereaboutis. The city seems to have been exceptionally felicitous in placing the con tract for the improvement mentioned. WICHITA KLKCTHIC RAILWAY SBRXICH? ON J VTA' FOURTH.
