AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE-
A Woman Thought to Hava Commlted Sui
cide 7 urns tip at U lclilta.
About three years ago one Miss Ada
Hunter of Kickapoo, III,. disapeared
from home and from that day till this no
trace or tidings of her could be found by
her grief stricken parents. There was no
apparent cause for her departure and for
that reason her disapearance was quite
mysterious. Somebody &aid that he saw
a young woman of her description wander
ing on the banks of the river the day she
disappeared and that she was downcast
and looked as if she contemplated suicide.
Others told stones about her that led the
parents to think that she had committed
the rash act and accordingly all the
neighbors were called together, a searching
party organized and the river dragged
for miles but no body was found, fatill
the theory of suicide remained in the
minds of her parents and friends and she
was given up for dead and afterwards
almost forgotten entirely.
A few days ago in this city a well-known
citizen met a young woman on Douglas
avenue leading a child by the hand. He
thought he knew her from the moment he
saw her and he watched her and followed
her trying to think as he followed where
he had seen her. He finally hailed her
and recognized her as the missing Illinois
girl whose parents thought she was dead.
Explanations followed and she told him a
pitiable story.
She had n lover in Illinois named Wood
cock and she eloped with him.
They wero married at St. Louis
and very soon afterwards he deserted her.
She tned in vain to find his whereabouts
and remembering that he used to talk
freely of Coffeyville, Kan., she thought he
might have come there and followed him.
When she arrived at Coffeyville she was
penniless aud she could not find her hus
band. A stockman from tho territory
came to Coffeyville one day looking for
a servant and offered to engage her. Sho
said she desired work but would have to
see his wife before she would engage her
services. She went to the ranch.called the
wife aside and aftera few minutes serious
conversation both women understood one
another and the young woman's services
were engaged. A few months after twins
were born in that stockman's house and
he and his good wife cared for them and
their mother as well as if they were all of
one flesh and blood. All had a good home
and a happy one until a few months ago
when one of the twins died. A short
time after tho stockman died and tho
widow having no moro busines alone on a
wild ranch, broke up housekeeping and
leturned to Kentucky to her friends.
About this time tho unfortunate Mrs.
Woodcock heard that her unworthy spouse
lived near Mulvane and sho sought him
out, but upon arriving there she learned
that he liad procured a divorce and had
married again. She pressed not her
claims but came to this city where tho
prominent gentleman heretofore men
tioned met her and provided for her
wants. She is now in the city and her
benefactor has written to her parents giv
ing them the details and beseachiug their
pardon for their unhappy and fortunate
daughter. The letter was written Satur
day and he expects to hear from there in
a few days some good uews.

touching the Southern Pacific troubles:
Whereas, The members of Wichita

THE DOCJ MJISANCli
To the TMItor of tho Easle.
For every valuablo and useful dog in
this city there nre fivo hundred mangy,
skulking, useless, dangerous curs infest
iug alleys, streets, and perhaps premises
a constant source of terror to the increas
ing number who dread the horrors ot hy
drophobia. Ono human lifo is infinitely
of ifaore value than all this pack of useless
dogs combined. If people in cities lull
persist in keeping dogs they should bo re
quired to keep them at all times safely
muzled, and if such an ordinance is .an
encroachment upon an esteemed proper
liberty, ir would be well to have less
liberty. There is occasion for an anti-dog
association and much need for anti-dog
legislation. Mostauy one ought to be
able to find a more worthy object for
affectionate regard and interest than one
niuety-uino oue-hundtedths of all the dogs
in existence. S.
FINE FKUIT.
Hon. E. P. Thompson of Kechi township
was in town j esterday. He is an exten
sive farmer living north of the city on the
Little Arkansas river. Those waters flow
through about 1,000 acres owned by him.
His land is well watered and finely tim
bered nlong the stream. He makes a spec
ialty of fine small fruits, aud during the
present year had car loads of strawberries,
for which h- found a good market in this
city. Mr. Thompson speaks enthusiastic
ally of tho fino fruit yield in Sedgwick
county during the past season. He says
that apples are becoming a heavy item and
that this soil and climate will raise the
finest apples, as well as many other kinds
of small fruit.
A GOOD MAKICET,
Mr. A. W. Bordewick of Seward, Kan.,
was in the city yesterday, having come in
with a load of stock of which he disposed
at the top price at the Wichita market.
Mr. Bordewick does a great deal of ship
ping and is tho only shipper at Seward,
Stafford county. He states that he has
been doing well by shipping his stock to
this city aud will continue to do so. He
reports a large acreage of wheat out in his
county, the acreage being fully up to last
year's Tho farmers aro holding on to
their wheat and corn, and this makes
business a little slack in Stafford couuty
towns, but business will improve as soon
as grain begins to move.
BITTEN" BY A DOG.
About noon, Sunday, Mr. Scott Shirley
was in tho back yard of his residence, on
the West Side, with his little 2-jeur-old
daughter, Inez, and while there a dog be
longing to a neighbor came near them and
without any apparent cause pounced upon
the little girl, and before the father could
iuterfera to prevent it, the dog bit her in a
frightful minner on the Lice and head.
The dog showed no symptoms of rabies,
but as soon as the child's injuries couid. be
attended to by the physician who was
called in Mr. Shirley proceeded to dispatch
the vicious brute, which he accomplished
with his trusty gun. The little one was
reported in a comfortable condition yesterday.
A FALSE RM.
A Reported rire in the Hydraulic 3UUs
Causes cltt'ment Yesterday.
At 5 o'clock yesterdrv afternoon consid
erable excitement was caused by the ring
in.: of the fire belL at hose house No. 2.
Immediately the hose wagon and chemical
engine of that company came dashing up
Market Btreet and went dashing down
First street at a terrifficgait. Everybody
on the streets followed the company in
hot .haste, for the report was that the
Zephyr mills were on fire. The excite
ment of the occasion was heightened by
the additional report that a. wheel had
been wrenched off the hose cart, near the
mills, and that the fire would be uncon
trollable before another hose cart could be
secured. Both reports were false
and the hundreds of people who
hastened to the Zephyr mills could
neither see a fire. or a fire
department. When the department got to
the Zephyr mills they found no fire there,
and the firemen thinking a mistake had
been made in the name of the mill hastened
to the Hydraulic mills, where no fire was
discovered either. The fireman returned
home tired, breathless and as mad as wet
hens.
Who sent in tho alarm! That is the
question the boys would like to know. If
they find out they will make it hot for
them for the penalty for giving a false fire
alarm is very severe. The firemen didn't
care much for their own trouble but they
do not relish the idea of driving two spans
of horses with a speed almost eqnal to the
wind through muddy streets when there
is no necessity for it.
TUIED THE SlOKPillNE KOUTE.
Early Sunday morning a Mrs. Bean,
living at Mrs. Hovey's boarding house,
sought to go into the better land by the
morphine route.
Her husband is a brakeman on the
Santa Fe road and he came home Satur
day night in response to a telegram from
her. It is thought they wero in financial
straits and that she concluded to die
rather than live under the circumstances.
When she took the morphine no physician
was sent for as the parties in the house
constituted themselves into physicians
and went about reviving her by tho ad
ministration of strong coffee. Officer
Charlie Snyder hoard about the attempted
suicide aud seeing there was no doctor
there telephoned for one. When he
arrived he administered the proper anti
dotes aud saved the woman's life. She is
now all right.
THAT SUNDAY'S BLHs-SINO.
It was a glorious rain, and as apportuno
as fine. It dizzle-drozzled all day Sunday,
warm like, with a misty-moisty monotony,
and then when dark had come, set about
doubling up the size and number of the
drops for all night through, following it
up on Monday by bright sunshine which
tempered the south wind to a spring time
softness. How it revived and strengthened
the wheat fields, tho hundreds of thous
ands of acres of it that lies in great green
squares all over Southern Kansas.

"YON YONSON."
The S. R. O. sign was displayed early
last evening at the Crawford Grand The
attraction beinc "Yon Yonson" a three
act farcial drama written by and intro
ducing Mr. Gus Heedgee tho originator or
Scandinavian American comedy. The
character and the dialect was an entirely
new stage presentation to many in the
audience. The reception given Mr. Heegee
and his company at times partook of the
nature of an ovation. In "Yon Yonson"
Mr. Heegee presents the Swede without
the least trace of caricature and in this is
the aecret of the great success of tho play
and tho character. In "Yon Yonson" Mr.
Heegee has au opportunity to make it as
lasting and to identify himself with
tho part to tho extent that
Denmnn Thompson has made and become
identified with "The Old Homestead."
Mr. Heegee has certainly studied well tho
habits and characteristics of the role and
only departs from the general conception
of the character by a little too much of the
general stylo in the third act in the love
scene between Yon Yonson and Jennie.
There is a presence of gush and giddiness
not looked for in tho unpolished nnd
honest hearted Swede. The stfigo settings
and the mechauical effects attracted much
attention and faithfully represents the
region where tho action oi the play is sup
posed to take place. No play or company
have made their appearauce at tho Craw
ford Grand for some time that gave such
general satisfaction and was so warmly
received. The play is rich in comedy and
athos. Miss Connelly as Mrs. Laflin and
Miss Lowell as Grace Jennings were ex
cellent. Miss Annie Lewis made a bright
and vivacious Jennie Morris. The
Lumbermeu's Quartette received several
encores. The male parts throughout were
good. The company play St. Joeseph and
Omaha and then go direct to New York
City, where they open for an indefinate
run.
Tho ladies of the Central Christian
church hold their annual bazaar during
Wednesday nnd Thursday of this week, in
the church, corner Second and Market. In
addition to tho many novelties the ladies
hava to display, dinner and supper will bo
served on the above dates. Bill of fare for
Wednesday will consist of roast turkey
and roast beef, cold slaw, mashed potatoes,
stewed tomatoes, cranberry sauce and pie,
coffee and relishes. Business men are asked
to patronize the ladies instead of going
home. With good attendants nnd well
prepared dishes, you can not fail to be
pleased. Come one, come all.
Mr. Louis L. Lano of Greenwich, a well
known cattle man, was in town and tells a
rather costly experience ho hd. A few
days ago when in the city he drew $400 out
of the bank. He took it home with him
and buried it in a manure pile in his cattle
lot. He kept a calf in the lot, and a few
days after happened by just as the calf
was at the pile of hay where the money
had been buried and was just in the act of
chewing at the bills. Mr. Lane quickly
investigated and found that the calf had
dovouved 8200 of the money. He is at a
loss what to do in the matter and thinks
of killing the calf.
The fourth-class postmasters of this
county will meet in the United States
court room in this city today for the
purpose of electing a delegate to the na
tional convention of postmasters which
will assemble at Washington next month,
and transiting other business. The con
vention which will meet next month will
consider a bill for the better payment of
fourth-class postmasters and will bring a
great deal of pressure to bear on congress
to pass it. Jt-issaidto be a just bill and
there are strong hopes entertained that
the committee on postal affairs wiil recom
mend its passage.
Mr. S. A. Henry of Brown connty, Ohio,

His son, Mr. G. C. Henry, wa formerly of

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
A- Short but Very Saifsractory Mtctlng Held
Jst 'l2ht.
The city council met in regular session
last night, Mayor Carey in the chair.
All the councilmen, with the exception
of Goode, Buckeridge and Leveridge, were
prese nt. The minutes of the last regular
and intervening meetings were read and
approved.
The chairmen of the committees on
finance, fire and water, franchise and
licenses, health, lighting, parks and pub
lic grounds, paving and scales and police
and prisons were called on for reports, but
they had none to maice.
Chairman Tucker of the committee on
city building and furniture reported that
the coal house in the new city building
needed a floor and suggested that it be
made of some broken flagging now in the
hands of the contractor. He also suggest
ed that some provisions should be made
about tiling the doorways. On motion
the matter was referred to the committae
with power to act.
The committee on railways and street
railways had nothing to report. Chair
man Tucker of the public improvementcom
mittee brought up the Sullivan dam ques
tion and stated that Arthur Sullivan re
fused to sign the contract with the city,
embodying as it did the proposition ot tha
city. Martin moved that the matter be
referred back tr. the committee and Coun
cilman Caswell amended by having it laid
on the table and the city clerk instructed
to advertise for bids. Mr. Martin object
ed to this on the ground that such a course
would ba impracticable at tho present
time owing to the fact that there were no
plans and specifications in existance to
guide bidders in putting in bids. He could
not see how a man could bid on a thing or
things that were not yet in existance;
that is he could not see
how a man cculdbid intelligently to main
tain a dam that is not yet built or for
which there are no specifications made.
To dispose of tha matter he moved that
Mr. Caswell's motion be laid on the table.
The vote on this motion was a tie and
Mayor Carey said he would dispose of tho
question by casting his vote to lay the
motion on the table. Ho did so nnd Mr.
Glaze objected to, or rather challenged the
mayor's right to vote. The matter was
referred to the city attorney and Mr. Glaze
was sustained by that gentleman's
opinion. Tho mayor then recalled his
vote and as tho matter stood tied, the
motion of Mr. Martin was declared lost.
It was then moved that the city engineer
be instructed to prepare plans for the
contemplated dam, but Councilman Mar
tin still insisted that under tho circum
stances it was bettor to leave tho matter
in the hands of the committee
and after some yielding on both sides Mr.
Martin finally triumphed by having tho
matter postponed till the next regular
meeting, still to remain with tho com
mittee for their consideration.
Chairman Brown, of the committee on
sewers aud drainage, reported, suggesting
that Arthur Sullivan be allowed $170 for
certain work done. The bill was allowed
without discussion.
Councilman Martin, of the judiciary
committee, submitted the report of the
arbitration committee whi;h had in con
sideration tho difficulty between Dave
Hays and the city involving some ground
on South Water street. Tho committee
thought Mr. Hays should be allowed $330
for the ground in question nnd as the
judiciary committeo thought bo too, it
was moved that Mr. Hays ba paid the
money when he shall have made the re
quired deed to the city for the property.
The judiciary committee also submitted
tho rooport of an arbitration committee
appointed to view the property needed for
the opening of Elm street. Tho arbitrators
fixed the damages at $1,200. This almost
caused the councilmen to fall from their
chairs, the shock was so great, and in the
twinkling of an eye the report was laid on
the table with a heavy weight on it. The
council did not expect that the damages
would be assessed at more than a hundred
dollars or so.
The usual list of bills were read and re
ferred to tho proper committees.
A petition was presented from the
United Brethren church asking for a re
bate of taxes which wero necessitated by
some repairs in tha sidewalk iu front of
the church, and upon motion the prayer of
the petitioners was granted.
A letter was read from tho Kansas Mid
land Railway company, stating that tho
directors would meet in this city on tho
Stn of next month, and upon motion it was
referred to the committee on railways.
A notice was served on council by Mr.
Dermody that he was ready to sign a bond
and enter into the contract for flushing
the sewers, according to his hid, and on
motion the notice was referred to the com
mitteo on sewers and drainage. A resolu
tion was read which eminated from the
board of police commissioners, informing
the council that the said commissioners
had the sum of $3,600 which they had col
lected from the various sources from which
such money was derived. The council
men all felt mighty good over tho news
and upon motion it was assigned to the
general fund. The police commissioners
were forgotten up to this time, but now
Mayor Curly spotted Colonel Taylor in tha
room and with a smile that would do
credit to a maiden of sixteen ho invited
tho Colonel to tako a seat at his right
side.
The police judge's report was read
and placed on file. This report was
also received with a very satisfactory
smile, for it brought tha intelligence that
the fees collected for the month of Novem
ber amounted to pretty near $3,000, or
nearly double the amount usually collect
ed heretofore. John Martin says it is $500
more than any other report contained
within his memory. The report was re
ferred to the finance committee.
The reports of the clerk, treasurer and
weighmasters were read and referred to
their proper committee.
After a short discussion of the Dermody
contract and the passing of a few appro
priation ordinances, the council adjourned.
JCOTICE.
The following books have been taken
from the public school library without

L. M. COX, Ch'm Library Com.
The intelligent compositor played
smash with oar remarks on the sewer
dam business, for Sunday mornings issue.
The amount contemplated for keeping the
dam in repairs was ?L200 not $20,000 and in
the material suggested for the dam was
oak piling supplemented with brush or
stono in the way of filling was the idea of
efficiency and permanency. Only a por
tion of the waters of the Little river are
required which a very low dam. or ohsturc
tion will abundantly supply.
Ex-Mayor Clement appointed by the
board of trade as a member of the commit
tee to the river improvement convention
which meet at Kansas City today, left
hut night for that place. He said he did
n't thiuk it advisable that any movement
of public moment should be allowed to
go off in this western country in which

Not to Blame.
Many nice delicacies are of-1
ten spoiled by the abomina
ble flavorings used in them
and generally their having
been spoiled is attributed to
the cook. Now if Dr. Price's
Delicious Flavoring Extracts

unjustly blamed; nice disbes
will not be spoiled, as they
always impart the delicate
fresh-fruit flavor in whatever
they are used. To have en
joyable and healthful food,
the best articles must be se
lected to make it. It is econ
omy for the poorest to use
best.
