When it comes to a matter of schcol houses aud of money expended for their erec tion, wo venture the opinion that no city east or west, of the age of this city, ever equalltd this city. The greatest single expense whch this city has to bear today is the school ex pense, as every tax payer knows.

The interest in the forenoon session centered in the case of Tell W. Wal ton, the brother of Wirt Walton, whose recent tragic death i3 still fresh in the minds cf the people. Mr. Walton, who is the tal ented editor of the Caldwell Journal, was ac cused, with C. Rodgers, ot burning a house containing a printing press, within the Okla homa country, about two years ago. The judge heard the evidence of the witnerses for the state, and, as it was in no wise sufficient to sustain the charge, he ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty, which was imediately done. The case of the United States vs. Al. Soule was called. The defendant appeared and pleaded not guilty to the charge of larceny Court was then adjourned until the after noon. The first business in the afternoon session was the dismissal of the witnesses in the case against George Morris, after which was called the United States vs. James Wade, Doc Crunk aud John Trussler. Mr. Mc Meekin, who had been appointed attorney for tho defendants, asked that Davis, a pris oner in the county jail awaiting removal to tho state penitentiary, be brought into the court, as ho was considered a necessary wit ness". The request was granted. A controversy arose as to'whethcr the in dictment should be joint or several. The court held that since all the men were charged with tho same offense it be treated as a joint indictment. Two prc-cniptory challenges were made "by the defense; first Mr. Wisuer, second Mr. Bass. Mr. Brothers was sworn in in place of tho former and Mr. Stunkle, a Sumner county farmer, iu place of the latter. W. C. Perry, the state attorney, then arose and in a few words presented tho case to the jury. Un or about tlie JUtli ol November Root. Curtis living on the south fork of the Canadian river in tho Territory had two horses stolen from his pasture: he started in pursuit; and in tho state of Arkansas over took Trussler and Davis with tho animals. He arrested them and was returning with his prisoners and property when he was charged upon in Pottawatomie county by Doc Crunk and Jim Wade and forced to give up his prisoners and horses. The state he said will further show that these men aro -the mem bers of an organized band of horse theives which havo been terrorizing that section of country. The defendants' attorney waiving state ment to tho jury the examination of wit nesses for the state was immediately com menced. Ttobt. Curtis was first called. He said he Uvea m the Kiowa-Comauclie reservation, and was acquainted with the defendants. On the 2.1th of Oct. 1885, ha hail two horses stolen and setting out on their trail overtook Trussler and Davis in the Pottawatomie res ervation, regained his property and took these men prisoners. About tha 10th of Nov. he had reached Widow-Deer's ranch in Potta watomie county on his return, and remained there over night. At day break when he went out to iiud his horses, Crunk and Wade came riding up on horseback aud placing Winchester rilles.agniust his breast, demand ed the horses and prisoners. The stolen horses were after some parley saddled and ridden off. About a month afterwards he saw tho horses: Davis had one, Crunk and Trussler tho other. On cross-examination his testimony was not changed. Crunk, who w ho was taking the deepest interest in the trial, became dis pleased with Curtis1 evidence aud cried out, "You are a liar." He had scarcely spoken the words Lefoie Judge Foster gave tho rascal such a severe aud scathing rebuke that ho is not likely to repeat the words in" court. It. E. Cable was then called. Ho was a deputy marshal; know tho defendants and was with Curtis when ho made the arrest of tha parties. Trussler was riding a black horse. Crunk was in a wagon ahead. Being cross-examined he said that Crunk was on his way to Texas when arrested and had, ho was told, stolen horses in his possession. Isaac Goddell, a half breed, was tho next witness. Ho lived iu the Sac aud Foxageucy: had known Wado for six years; had worked on his ranch; Wado camo to his house with Crunk and hired two horses to go for his men; returned next Monday with two other horses and Trussler and Davis; the paid for tho hire of his horses. Ho was cross-exam-iuod but his conversation with his hired man Porter was not admissiblo evidence aud he was dismissed and tha state rested its case. The first witness called for the defense was Doc Crunk himself. Ho is of medium size, about 40, rather slender, has thin lips, large, bulging eyes, black hair, elipixnl moustache arid a shrewd, mean-looking face. Ho said bo was moving into Texas from Pottawatomie December 1, when arrested. Ho was driving iu awagou and Truster was riling some distance behind him. On No voniber 12 ho and Jim Wado started iu a hack for tho Sac agency, and when at Ike Goddell's ho took supper and hired two horses of him to go and rescue two men whom ho feared would bo mobbed as they were going through a bad country. Ho roue to Widow'Deers'i alighted and after Jim Wado had put the bars down entered the yard and said, "Good morning,' to Curtis, who immefriately handed him over his fire arms. He entered the house, all tho man sat down to din ner, Wade loaned Curtis $2.50, Trussler traded horses with tho kitter, then he, Wadj, Davis and Trussler all started awav. Ho did not place a gun against Curtis' breast, and the trade was satisfactory all around. On cross-examination, his story was very cleverly ridiculed by Attorney Perry. John Trussler, called ''Panhandle John," a sallow complexioned, curry haired,blue eyed, solemn looking man of about thirty-five, was next called, nis story of the transaction was about the same as Crunk's. Silas Davis, a boy of not more than tweu- ho'rses in the trade which the defendants said Trussler had made with him. The testimony was then closed and the jury excused until this morning. The grand jury came into the room and made another report, returning thirty-two indictmentk f ' -4f . MARRIED. Mr. Leroy Sidels and Miss Mary Mitchell, both of Andale were married at the residence of the bride yesterday evening. Both the contracting parties are well-known in this city. NOT LYNCHED.

The Wichita boat club will meet at the auditor's office this evening at 7:G0 o'clock sharp.

Tho game yesterday afternoon between the Clippers, of Wichita, and the Athletics, of Andover, resulted in a score of 15 to 4 in fa vor of the former. It was a well played game. Jetty was umpire, and Reiley and Jetty, junior, constituted the battery of the Clippers. JOINTIST. James Turner, a jointist, who operated on West Douglas avenue, was arrested yester day upon tho complaint of John Riley. Ho was waltzed in front of Justice Thomas, and owing to circumstances he was allowed to be sent to jail, where he will remain until prob ably tomorrow. WHAT DO YOU SAY? Farmer Doolittle lifted up his high voice yesterday, and said that ho would like for that basebaliist, W. F. Green, to name his fats so the leans could seo who they had to beat the next time. He said if they would play the samo tough nine ho was in for a game and would allow the proceeds to go to the Home. AT THE OPEKA HOUSE. Tho entertainment of Prof. Granger at the opera house last evening, for tho benefit of the K. of P. band, drew a much larger house than the evening before. It gave general satisfaction, and was heartily enjoyed by alL The professor, from the remarks of the audi ence, has made a most favorable impression,; and scores a complete success. f , POLICE COURT. In tho police court yesterday morning the only case called was that of Tom Bohaimn, charged with a plain drunk. He was fined $5 and execution was suspended. Judge Glenn, on account of sickness, was compelled to leave shortly after the morning session, and did not again hold court during the day. LAWN FETE. Tho social last evening at the residence of E.

S. E. Mitchell, Sec. A VISITOR. Mr. W. W. Cheshire, of Crownpoint, Ind., is in the city. Ho arrived a few days since and is on his way homo for an extensive visit in tho western and northern part of the state. He is much delighted with this state and especially i ho pleased with Wichita. He is not backward in saying that this it the most wonderful city he has ever struck. He was hero about ono year ago and saw Wichi- tuen auti can now detect the improvement. He is completely filled with western enthusi asm, and says ho is compelled to put in a good word for Wichita at every opportunity. NEW WEST SIDE HOTEL. R. M. Gardner last night opened his new hotel on the West side. This handsome building, which is oue of the many improve ments that tha West Wichitains are now making, cost about $25,000, and is a com plete and elegant hotel building. Everything from cellar to garret is new and fine. On the first floor in front are the office and parlor; in the rear a large, clean and well lighted dining-room. On the second floor aro the sleeping apartments, all fitted out entire with new furniture. On the third floor, besides the smaller rooms, is a large hall for dancing. Last night the doors of the new house were ty, with an ugly, uugainly appearance, next thrown to the public. People came in crowds took tho stand and told substantialy tho I to a?e it and to wish the genial proprietor same story as Trussler. success in his new enterprise. Jim Wade, last of this lovely quartetc, was An elegant supper was served and every uext called. He was a brother of Bill Wade J body partook of the cakes, jellies, salads, fish a id the leader of the notorious Wado gang, and cold meats with a relish which tells bet He is of medium hight, has dark brown hair j tor than words of their satisfaction, and mustache, blue eyes and hardly ap-! Afterwards the younger guests went to the peared tho ideal bandit chieftain as he hall and to the music of the orchestra danced slouched up to the witness stand. He drawl ed out about tho same story as the other throe. Curtis, upon being recalled by Mr. Perry, said he had never received any money or The board of educationjield a special meet ing last night in the city chamber with Tay lor, Campbel', Caldwell, Wingard, Brown Elaven present Katz, Levy and Lewis absent. Mr. Campbell as "chairman of committee on teachers and salaries reported that Misses McVicar, McGee and Mills had been employ el as teachers. His report being adopted he stated that he would recommend that a room ba rented or a house built in order to accom modate tho pupils of the lower grades in the Second ward. He seemed to favor putting up a building on the lots on Main street just north of the county block. He thought the new building should contain two rooms and bo cheaply but comfortably constructed. He also suggested that there should be a de partment created in the city schools which would serve as preparatory school for the regular classes. On concluding his remarks he moved that the committee on buildings and grounds be instructed to put up a house not costing more than 800 on the lots owned by the city on North Main street. Slaven proved his second. Wingard Have examined the second ward building and it is impossible for it to accom modate the pupils. It seems to me that tho Park school building might be utilized with less mouej-. Campbell has struck the key note when he spoke of a preparatory depart ment. This town ought to havo a school of that kind. I don't object to that motion, but if Park building is not too far out of the way I would be in favor of fixing it, so as it would meet the demands. Campbell Tha part of Wingard s proposi tion that I object to is that of putting children in the basement. I don't believe it is healthy. The objection he mentions himself and that is that the building is not convenient. We can put up a small frame building that will bo comfortable, and handy, aud will meet the demands. Wingard I amend the motion by placing the amount at 1,000. His motion was sec onded by Caldwell. Taylor I want to say something on this question. I want the board to think about it very carefully before it makes its final de cision, for there will be a good deal of kick ing if you make a mistake. If the basement room in the Park school buildingwould do, it would cost much less. Brown Is it proposed to relieve the pri- mary department of the school by this! means? , ' Campbell It would relieve the Second ward and the Park school. The city superintendent, Prof. Chides ter, then said that there ono hundred pupils in tho primary department in the Second ward, and eighty in the Park school. Brown Are there any childeren under 7 years of age attending school? Chidester There are a few. Brown I dont take to this idea of erect ing a frame building. I don't approve of this plan unless it is an absolute necessity. I don't see that this will relievo the primary de partment for only a short timo. I think there is something more available. I don't think that tho board can enforce the law of keeping all children out of school under sev en years of ae. My plan for relieving the primary departments would be to adopt tin one-half dry S3stem. I think we can afford to adopt it on the ground of necessity. Rather than resort to this I v. ould prefer the one-half day plan. Prof.. CIiide-tei" was called upon to give his ideas of Mr. Brown's plan . He said: "I have had experience iu that system, but would not recommend it. The people be came dissatisfied aud ic caused some trouble. Tho children are not so much benefitted but I do think that fifty pupils in a room for a half day is better than one hundred for a whole day. I don't think the sj-stem would prove satisfactory to tho board." Wingard I am heartily in favor of the half day system. The children will like it better. The parents who will op pose the sj-stem are those who want to keep their children away from home as long as possible. Campbell Am of the opinion it is tho best plan we can adopt. With the consent of my second I will withdraw my motion. Caldwell Am in favor of doing the best we can, and do not favor the half-day sys tem. Am opposed to building little frame houses over the town, but thiuk we had best rout. I withdraw my second to Mr. Camp bell's motion. Campbell I move that tho superintendent bo instructed to divide tho primary clases wherever ho thinks it necessary into two classes, and each be allowed to attend the school one half day. Slaven seconded this motion. Brown The most satisfactory school I ever knew was conducted on the half-way system. The students will make more rapid progress. Where the plan i3 in in vogue I do not think the school boards could be induced to make a change. Three hours for one day is enough for the smaller students. Slaven There is too much schooling. Nine months each year from the time tho children are five years old to the time they are fifteen is a little too much. Wingard Think six hours a day i j too much time for a child to bo kept into a school room. Half that time is a plenty. Caldwell In the first place they are not in the school room six hours. In the next place not all in the primary grades aro only G Years old. Some are even 13. chaining them down ! You don't know anv- tioif in a way, allowing that room to be utilized. The.question was disposed of with out farther debate. The question then arose as to who should have charge of the depart ment and it seemed to be the general opinion that one of the assistants in the high school should be allotted thst work. Mr. Wingard said that it was the custom of some country people to send their children to the city in the winter and they would go to the city schools without saying anything. He was of the opinion that in the crowded condition of the schools that such should not be allowed. He finally moved that where students are not residents of the city they will not be allowed to attend school under any circumstances. His motion prevailed and the city superintendent was in structed to throw overboard accordingly. Mr. Wingard stated that he had granted a certain denomination the privilege of hold ing Sunday school in the Park school build ing until cold werther made its appearance, and he would then favor allowing no denom ination the use of any of the buildings. Mr. Caldwell moved that when fire be comes necessary all the school buildings be closed against the various denominations, and Slaven soon assisted him in placing his motion before the chair. Mr. Campbell said it was asking too much of the school districts to expect them to furnish room for churches. Suppose the house should be burned down, he said, in what position would this board be placed in? It would vitiate our policy. He then amend ed the motion placing the time at the first of next month that all the school buildings should be vacated by all the denofliinations. He received a second and the amendment carried.

Before they could successfully carry out their assault, however, Morgan knocked two or three of them down; the police camo up. and the gang took to flight and escaped arrest. "These men were not highwaymen,5' said a gentleman, shortly afterwards, "but members of the tin horn gambling fraternity, specimens of humanity that sleeps on gamb ling tables, rises at three to breakfast at six, eats at lunch counters or in rear of Chinese laundries, detested by all good citizens, and hunted by tho police."1 VILLAINOUS ASSAULT. Monday evening about 8 o'clock, as a high ly respectable lady living on South Topeka, but whose name is withheld, was going down South Market, she was seized at the corner of English street by a largo man who had been standing in the shade of the building. He caught her by tho arm and threw her upon the pavement, when she streamed and attracted tho attention of two daughters of Mrs. Kientz, the milliner on North Main, and two gentlemen who were driving down Mar ketJiu a hack. Rushing to her rcscuo they found she had fainted and was lying upon tho pavement. After assisting her to her feet the gentlemen started in pursuit of the dastardly villain, but he had gotten so much the start that he could not be overtaken. The two youug ladies say that he ran past them, but in th2 darkness and excitement they did not observe him closely enough to give a good description. TOR THOSE WHO FELT IT. Down aud over the Nile of Kansas yesterday morning there rolled a dense fqg whose moist graj' folds veiled tho face of the rising sun, cloed out the blue sky and left weald and wold, conso and pasture dripping with an im-wontt-d moisture. The first tears for the de scending year dropped in solemn cadence from each leaf and blade, and the heart of nature was touched uith sadness. Nor storms nor floods nor the thunder's chase foretell fading w ood and desolate fields in our own beloved Kansas, for here the smile of summer fades imperceptibly out as fades the flush of a maiden's cheek when serious thoughts for a quiet momsnt touch heart and brain. It may be a month, it may b but a fortnight only, when that white enveloping harbinger of yester' morn will be made icy with a finger of death for field and forest, when flowers will shrink, verdure fade and the song of the blithesome bird be lost iu the moaning cry of the dying year. no kick: here.

T, P. 0, The Eagle, a few weeks since, called tho attention of the peoplo to the fact that our expenses as a city were going to be increased by the new administration, and that wo tnougnc some ot tne proposed increases un- necessa. We suggested that it w very suddenly discovered that there was room for more officers and that salaries could be fixed for every officer, from mayor down. Men who did not expect anything when they ran for office, and who ran just as fast before and worked just as hard evtr since as though no salary had been attached, and who would do so again, now want a salary. Wc further suggested that the next thing would be an increase of officers, such as a fire marshal, and then an assistant Are marshal,then assistance to tho city attorney on overyimportant suit, and so on and so on. Now, the Eagle i not going to do any high and lofty kicking against that which i a for-gone conclusion. Home of these added expenses are necessary and proper. Some of thorn are not. They are all, however, now inevitable. All we desire is to call the at tention of the people to what we said and ask thern to keep an eye on the program from this on, so that when the thing is fully ac complished, they may know how it was done and who did it. .
