FIRE ON THE WEST SIDE Just Preceding the Hill Fire, Involves the Kline Hay Barn and the Badger Lumber Company in a $4,000 Loss, Combined Incendiarism to a Moral Certainty Fire Depart ment's Work Heroic But the Task an Impossible One. Wichita has neve known such a fire scare and such dastardly and successful efforts at the destruction cf property by fir as occurred t3fs morning after 3 o'clock. The "Wichita Mill and Elevator company loses the entire elevator building-, containing 10,000 bushels of wheat. This will amount to 515,000. At 4 o'clock the mill, which Is known as the old City RoKer Mills, is on lire, and will be a total iy3 of building and machinery. The total loss from this fire will bo not far from S33.000. Mr. Stevens, of the Arm of Caldwell Stevens, proprietors. Is in lioulsvllle. Ky. W. F. Green, local manager, bought the wheat, and has seen every bushel of It go into the elevator. He says there aro 10.v bushels In the building. He did not know how much insurance was on the property, but thought that probably less than half the value is covered. The fire companies were all on hand as -con as the fire on the "West Silo was un der control, but the flames broke out In the west cupalo on top of the building, and on account of the enforced delay from the other fire, with the strong south wind. there was no possible show to save the buildlrg. "WAS A MALICIOUS ATTEMPT. Mr. Green says thero has been no fire in the building for a year. The mill has not bee In operation and the elevator was. run by an Metric motor in the base of the I elevator tower. The elevator is run ti'.l i about milnight every night of the week, J loadlnr caw. Lust nlcht Mr. Oeorire Snook was in charge. He closed the building at the usual hour and went home. The win flows arc ln-ked from the Inside and the Coors are all se urcly fastened with stronjr locks. Thre w no chance for anyone to get Inside without breaking In a door or window. TWO FrSPICIOUS CHARACTERS. D1ps "Woods, the Santa Fe night clerk, r d been out to a party during the even ing, and coming buck he saw two shab bily dre-1 and susicious looking men couching against the wall of the Santa Fe paenser depot. In the shadows. They Rero sitting with their backs against the nail looking up toward the mill and mak trg mo Ions. h mn would probablj do l'i planning an escape from the top of the tji'ding. Mr. Woods telephoned Police man Fox, who enuneliately drove the mon jut of the railroad jards. One of these men had been sneaking around Eckert's place and the yards all night, and Mr. j Bretch, the night watchman of the Santa Fe. noticing the man. had tried to keep track of him. "When the tiro was noticed in the top of the building, only one 'man :ould be seen. Officer Fox caught sight :f him 200 feet down the tracks and start '1 toward him. but the fellDw ran. Mr. 'x thinks It was one of the men ho had! i cn away jo'jHk, when from the dopot Mr. "Wood had about culled llm The fire wns a malicious incendkft-yUh-jut ilvuht. but what the motive was is hard to ucget BOTH FIKKS NEARLY SAME TIME. The fire on the West Side, which de stroyed the ha barn and lumber jnrd. occurred about 2.. or was In full pro gres at that time and lasted up till after 3 o'clock Oiliear Fox and Watchman Bietch saw the fire In the top of the build lrg. They telephoned to ctnT.il, gmng the alarm. The tire eompon was at the other fire and a messenger had to run to the Wtot SWe to give the alarm. Chief Walden immediately sent all of the men T.ot needed to handle the West Side lire J to the mill, and the rest as i-ojn a mete was no longer any danger west of the river. The engine had already been filed up and was taken to the scene. This was u.ed to force a heavy column of water en tho fire from the ea.-t and south, while three firemen trained a hose on the flames from the top of the building iuat west at the mill. It was of no use. The rnet: rial was dry and, with the shafts and bla. of wheat for a background to the furnace of light timbers, tho streams of water seemed to evaporate suddenly on th face DESTROYED I of flames. The men worked hard. The Intense heat and hard work of the lnir Just preceding this fire was an ordeal, but this was worse. The whole building, mill machinery and 10.000 bushels of wheat. Is a total loss. "WHAT FOX SATS. Two suspicious looking men were seen peeping into the windows of the elevator and loitering about the Santa Fe depot Policeman Fox and "Walt Horner saw them and they both started after them, J Mr. Horner going on one side of the de pot and Policeman Fox on the other. Tho men ran on sight of the policeman and could not be overtaken. In the mean time a telephone message was sent to Po liceman Fox to watch the men. After returning to Douglas avenue Mike Bretdb, watchman in the yards, called Policeman Fox's attention to a dim light In the topmost heights of the elevator building. "When Mr. Fox looked up he knew Immediately that it was lire and quickly ran to the alarm box and turned in an alarm. The department was on the "VVcst Side in force and the wires having been cut, a courier had to be despatched. This occupied about ten minutes valuablo Ume dunnj, whlch the flames Bhot up like magic from the topmost part of the elevator. THE FIItE OX THIS WEST SIDE.

"The situation In the Philippines Is very serious," said Gen eral Nelson A. iMIles at the "Waldorf-Astoria last night "I know nothing con cerning the story that the war department is suppressing the newa from Manila. But everybody knows that thing3 are very serious there. The question of issuing a call for volunteers has not, I believe, been decided. I do not care to discuss the Philippines matter. I am here on private business." STORY OF THE AMBUSCADE Filipino Treachery and Yaakee In viuclbllity Azaiu Exemplified. New York, June 20. The Herald'a Ma nila correspondent in describing the bat tle near Perez Das Marinas, says: "While the American troopa were in a sunken road, a force of insurgents attacked them on the left flank. The Americans retreat ed in good order for several miles. Finally, being reinforced by Robinson's battalion of the Fourth Infantrj'i they advanced upon the foe. Our loss during the day may amount to a total of forty killed and wounded. Surrounded by a thousand of the enemy, six miles from reinforcements and with a thousand more insurgents moving rapidly down on their left to make their annihilation complete, the First bat talion of the Fourth infantry. Major Budd commanding, in all 300 Americana, fougat their way back from Perez Des Marinas, three miles, toward their military bdse at Imus, where the rest of the Fourth came to their support. "Reports were received that Das Mari nas had .been deserted by the Insurgents. The alcalde of the place came to Imus and formally surrendered the town. "The houses along tho roadside were filled with Amigos and the battalion ad vanced confidently until within three fourths of a mile of Das Marinas, v.hcn they discovered the enemy, paralleling tho road at a long distance on both sided and practically surrounding the little force. Natives began firing from the houses in the rear and natives with white clothes were cuptured with guns In hand. The whole scheme was to wipe out the small body of American troopp, and might have succeeded but for the marvelous couragft of the troops and officers. The fight be gan at noon and the enemy's fire was silenced In one hour. The Americans crowded the insurgents back toward Imus while outflankers were on the right and left. Under a flanking fire the rearguard wn" desperately holding the enemy's fire poured upon tho main road, and men were failing everywhere. The ambulance was filled and carts were pressed into service, loaded with the wounded and dragged by the hands of prisoners. Two of our dead were left behind." wheatonTTdas marinas Araerlcau lionn Monday Five Killed Tn-etity-Three Wonnded. Washington, June 30.

Ta most re markable feature of the.reort is the al most hopeles icture alnted of the condi tions prevailing in the Islands. The great fertility of the soil is pointed out and it is said that In only a f ew restricted areas, where three crops a yearccave been gath ered without interruption for several cen- f turies, is there any apparent seed of fer- tllizers. In pite of this, all attempts at colonization havo failed, either through the poor cla3 of emigrants secured, the financial instability of the various com panies or the corruption aafl oppression of the governors and govemarent agents. The result Is that the middle aa4 lower classes In tho islands are almost of the worst pos sible type. In addition to this primary difficulty In securing reliable labor, the agriculturist is confronted at the start with the neces sity for an immense amount of work In clearing new land. When -this Is accom plished and a luxuriant crop raised, it is at the mercy ot the first typhoon. Be sides the typhoon there is to be feared in certain provinces the "dagudo," or dry land wind, which dr!c3 up and destroys vegetation. IDsease so far hardly known to European doctors result from the turn from the turning up of this virgin soil. According to competent medical authori ties cause death in a few hours, while from others, even if the patient recov ers, he is condemned to a wretched and lingering experience. Another of the great difficulties In the way of development is the utter lack of roads and shipping points. The native Filipino Is unable to do any large amount of work and cares to do less. He Is in dolent and given to gambling. All these vices have to be taken into account In any undertaking where labor Is employed. The Jackpot credit is another seriou3 handicap to enterprise. The minimum cost of money in the Philippines, regardles of security, Is 12 per cent. At present the Philippines are cursed by a well organized body of the worst sort of usurers. The prices of nearly all crops are steadily falling as the pro duction retrogrades In quality and quan tity. lieutenant Hayne, In transmitting this Interesting document, states that he would strongly recommend secial quarantine measures again?t Philippine plants, as there exist an Immense number of very inurious parasites in the island and many private parties are already preparing to import botanical specimens. ROOSEVELT AT CORNELL Waraa Grad Hates Against (SettlBs Too Bis: for Their CeHotry. Ithaca, N. Y June 20. Governor Roose velt today attended the class day exer cises of the class cf '90 in Cornell armory. The students received him with cheers. In his address to the graduates the gov ernor referred to statements recently made by several men who had amassed great fortunes, to the effect that col legiate education Is useless in the world of today. He attacked their position ve hemently and said: "Our country could better afford to lose all of the men who have amassed millions than to lose one half of its college-bred men. We can get along without men of enormous wealth, but not without men of brains." Governor Roosevelt then discussed the desirability of college-bred men making themselves active in the polltral world. He criticised the position that because politics Is corrupt good men should avoid It, holding that the very fact that dis honesty and corruption existed should ba an incentive to good men to actively participate in removing evils. "The man who holds aloof mertly because of cor ruption," he saW, "is unworthy of the blessing' of American citizenship. A man should be as ready to fight for the best interests of his country In timo of peaco as in time of war. The duties of peace are no less arduous than thoso of war and he is no thoroughly good American citizen who phuns either." Speaking directly to the graduating class the governor advised them that they were no better than tho masses who had not had their advantages, except In so far as they utilized their great ad vantages and proved" themselves so. Col legiate education did not make them too cultured and refined for tho active work of life; if It did, it would be a curse rathrr than a blesIng. Collegiate train ing oerffed Innumerable advantages, but. merely of itelf. If without effort, would avail nothing. "Above all." said the gov ernor, "do not become of the class of so called highly educated and cultured, who sneer at American institutions and Amer ican customs, if you recognize a fault, come forward and expose It and strUe to remedy It. Do not become of the class who lcse faith in the ability of Americans to govern themselves or their Islands." VOLUNTEERS STAND READY To bo Hcnt to Help Utia Thrash the Filipino. Chicago. June 3).

"Washington, D. C June 20. The Indus trial Commisalon today continued it in. vestlgatlon of the agricultural conditions of the south. Mr. J. Polk Brown, president of the Agricultural Society of Georgia, was the first witness. He agreed with Mr. Garrett, who testified yesterday, that the condition of agrlculturo in the south was more depressed than It had ever been. More Deonle were nlowlntr barefooted and barebacked than t cr before. Ue agreed I with the late Henry M. Grady, that the fault was not with the soil or the climate, nor, as many had claimed, was It entirely with the tariff. One of the most prolific causes of the trouble was in the fact that cotton was practically the only crop. An other cause, he asserted, was that tho education was not sufficiently practical. T f VimiM tnonh flmjinln tn en mi mtnl 1ft I bor. So far as the colored race wns con cerned. there was no opening for them In the trades or the professions. Mr. Brown dwelt upon the presence of the negro as the especial cause of the want of development of the south. He regarded him as retarding the Industrious, moral, religious, social and agricultural development of the section, and he felt that if they were absent a better class of labor would take their place. The more the negro was paid the less efficient he was as a laborer. Mr. Brown wanted the race separated from tho whites, and col onized, either in this country or elsewhere. in the interest of the southern states. But the race is non-progressive and Indisposed to adopt new methods and new devices. The great obstacle in the way of the de velopment of the manufacturing Interests was the want of money. Mr. Brown ad vocated diversified crops, recommending that each community should raise suf ficient of everything to meet Its own de mands. At the afternoon session the commission listened to a statement by Mr. P. H. Love Joy, a merchant and lanter of Hawkins ville. Ga. He spoke especially of the rela tions of the local merchants and the farm ers. The merchants themselves bad not been proaperous for several years. They were compelled to make the majority of their sales on credit and h3d to take mort gages upon the land of the farmers. If they had any. or on their crops if they had no lands. Many of thftn were not able to Rive collateral of any value and to such men sales were made on large margins of profit. "We size a man up,' he ?aid. "If he Is goo. we sell to him on a small margin. If he is a hard case, we take what he has and quit." He said that freight rates from Georgia to New York were about twice what they are from New York to Georgia. The large cities were etidently being built up at the expense of the country. Even the water melon crop was unprofitable. "We have found that in shipping melons we pay the freight," he said. "The rail rtads cut us out of profits In that busi ness." CAN'T FIGHT, OR WON'T Marrlscy Geta Knaagh ef Maher la J UKt 35 Her or.4w. New York.

"While tho prospects for a settlement of the strike of street railway men are brighter tonight than they havo been at any time since the trouble began, there has been more serious rioting today than at any previous time. The disturbances began early In the morning, continued throughout the day, and tonight a big mob surrounded the south side barns of the Big Consolidated company, determined to get at tho non union men who were boused there. "While the sympathizers of the strikers were hurling bricks and stones at non-union motormen and conductors a special com mittee of the city council was trying to get the representatives of tho strikers and the officers of tbe company together, and it succeeded to the extent of inducing the strikers to submit a proposition in writing, and getting the consent of President Ever ett of the Big Consolidated to nubmlt the same to the board of directors in the morning. The strikers' proposition aban dons the demand for the recognition of the union but asks that all tho old men be taken back save those who may be con victed In courtof destroying property.

At the comer ot "Wilson avenue and Qulncy street, one man wan shot and others- had narrow escapes. The passengers escaped as best they could when the stones began to fly, but tho conductor and motorman were struck re peatedly. Tho latter drew a revolver and fired three times Into th crowd. He then put on all speed and ran his car out of he mob's reach, corge Berg. Jr., a strlkGing conductor, was hit In the Ifg bv a bullet, which was extracted. No arrests were made. The crew of Scovllle avenue car 223 were badly beaten by ten men. Th car was on its way down town, t Wllxon avenue one man got on and at ev-ry crossing thereafter, one or two men boarded the car until there were ten pas sengers. "When Harry C.

As Clark started to make change he was struck on the hwid from behind by a coupling pin in the hands of a passenger. Sev eral of the other men then Jumptd upon him and pounded him Into insensibility.

Beyond the Safe Confines of James-and-Youngerdom. JURY OF OLD FARMERS Circa Sa-raaftea Tears Where TlMNra are Jfe Traiaa ta Bee Mlsht Mare Xaaftt Mlm. HartviUe, Mo June 0. John Kennedy, the notorious Crackernecker, has finally been convicted of train robbery. The Jury, before whom Kennedy was tried for com plicity in the robbery ot an, express train, on tbe Kasaa City, Fort Scott and Mem phis railroad, at Macomb, Mo., on January 3 last, returned a verdict at 6 o'clock this evening, adjudging Kennedy guilty as charged, and fixing bis punishment at sev enteen years' imprisonment In the stats penitentiary. Under the Missouri law tha death penalty might have been Imposed. Strangely enough. It remained for Ken nedy to be convicted by n Jury ot farmers here In Hartviltc. over twenty miles from any railroad, after the authorities in such a railroad center as Kansas City had il nally failed to convict him of any of the numerous charges ot train robbery which they had brought against him. Six men were actually engaged in thr Macomb hold-up. Of these. Jae Fegeley, who received a penitentiary sentence of fourteen years, and John Kennedy havo been convicted. Old Bill Ryan, a mem bcr ot the notorious old James gang; Joe Sheppard. son of a member of the old gang; Louis Nigh, a young farmer of this county, and Elmer Bryam. also a farmer, are the others accused of complicity In the hold-up. Their trials will follow that of Kennedy. Elmer Bryam. having made a full confession and having aided tbe stats in convicting Fegeley and Kennedy, wlU probably not bo severely punished. Kennedy, who has been looked upon as the leader In this robbery and In numerous robberies In the vicinity cf Kansas City, was tho culprit whom the railroad and express officials were most anxious to con vict. particularly as they had been tmable to convict him In Kansa City, where ha -was tried one and escaped through a hung Jury, where he was tried a second time and acquitted, and where several other indictments for train robbery were dbmlid recently after the acquittal Of young Jese James of similar charges. A cbarga .of rautder, however, Is pendlnr against Kennedy In Kansas City, as ha l undor Indictment there for the killing ef Mis Emma Schumacher, who was shot down by high wa men who robbed her gto. eery in Deoemh r. 197. Throughout the eleven days of the trial Kennedy had conducted himself In the boasting, swaggrrlng manner that had previously marked his conduct before tho courts nt Kansas City, and whn the Jury ef farmers came In and announced their verdict be fee mod dnrd and unable to raHz his portion. Then some one spoke a chering word to h'm, tears eani into the tra n robbr's ers, and a mo ment laior he was crying like a little boy In this cond t!'n h was ImI away te th tittle old wooden ciab0e.

TOPS SETTLE ON $3,50 Light Supply of Cattle But Ail Sold. The local hog market yesterday was quoted as steady, with a good liberal supply of only just fair hogs, and this grading "would not apply by any means to all of them. There were in all eleven cars of hogs yarded and seven of them Eold at good steady prices. Borne were very light and of mixed stuff hardly avail able on this market. All the better closs of porkers were disposed of easily and the large end of the business was done early. The wagon trade all the morning was actle and as compared with many ilays of late, both while tne heavy rains prevailed and also since the weather has been favorable for farmers to work their fields, the day yesterday was showing a good run from the local ana wagon trade. All of therm sold as soon as penned and at good prices, the grade of them being generally belowe that of the day previ ous. As to car hogs, there were seven loads weighed up, against six the day previous, and these showed an average weight below either iho day previous or .fie same day last week. However, the weights for the three comparing days ran aong about the same with only a few pounds difference. The market was steady and tills against early reports from near by markets, some of which gave out ab closing weak. The quality all througn Kiit hardly up to that of the day before, ibut most of the offerings anywhere nea" butcher weight and condition sold at once and at prices always In line with other western marketB. The total receipts were ahead of either the other two days and the receipts which were sold were better than the day previous and only a little Tindter those of the same day last week. There was a good demand for the right kind of hogs, and there was no trouble in t'iposing of such hogs ns wer in condi tion to be handled on this market. REPRESENTATIVE SALES.

DECLINE OF 1 3-8 CENTS Corn and Oats 1-2 Cent- Lower-Provisions Steady; Chicago, June 20. '"Wheat was weak from start to finish today and closed at a decline of 13-Sc from yesterday. Liqui dation of long wheat was the feature, rains in Russia and Roumanla, and favor able domestic conditions giving holders a severe attack of ennui. Coarse grains were aleo weak, corn closing l-2c lower and oats l-2c lower. Provisions closed unchanged to 7 l-2c lower. The opening In wheat was a lively one, and for an hour the market was as weak as even the most persistent bear could desire. September opened at 77 3-4g7-3c, compared with yesterday's closing price of 731-4c. Large quantities of long wheat were offered by both local and outside traders dumping their holdings onto tho market, and when the first lull in the liquidation occurred one price had been hammered down to 77c News was of such a character as to discourage longs, who have been banking on the Russian crop damage tooftiet the prospects of a b"g domestic crop. General rains were report ed in Roumanla, and rainfall was also con- reported from some parts of the Russian drought districts, with consequent im provement in crop prospects in those coun tries. Liverpool cables were weak and lower. At the start there was a disposi tion among shorts to cover, but the bear lshness of domestic advices put a check to even this support. Korthwest receipts were heavy, Minneapolis and Duluth re porting 720 cars, against 601 last week and 62 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 190 cars, 14 of contract quality. Aggre gate receipts at primary western point were S24.000 bushels, compared with 125.000 a year ago. "With the exception of Ne braska and Kansas, In which states some hot winds were reported, the weather throughout the wheat country was re ported favorable. Shortly before noon the market recovered a t?ifle In the absence of heavy selling pressure, September ad vancing to 77 3-8c, but liquidation was re newed after noon, and price got lown to a still lower level. Bradstreets showed an Increase In the visible of 1.3S9.000 bush els, compared with 2.734,000 bushels de crease last year. New York reported a good export business, 300 loads taken for export, but the lack of cash demand here nullified what effect this might have had. Duning the last half-hour there was In creased solans by disgusted longs, Sep tember gradually declining to 76 7-Sc under the pressure. That was the price at the close. Corn was fairly active and weak. The weakness nras partly with wheat, but local Influences were also present. Re ceipts were heavy, 1.103 cars, cables were lower and weather was favorable. Con tract stocks decreased 39,00 bushels. September ranged from 34 l-2ff5-S to 34 7-8 (SSic, and closed l-2c lower at 34 5-Sc. There was a fair trade In oaf. The market felt the weakness of wheat and corn, and prices ruled lower all day, clos ing at the bottom. Fine weather and lib eral receipts. 350 cars, were factors. There was a good cash demand, 350,ono bushels being taken for shipment September ranged from 21 3-4c to 22ffl-Sc, and closed l-2c lower at 21 3-4c. Provisions, considering the weakness In grain, were fairly steady, especially during tho morning, when heavy meat shipment nnd higher hog prices caused good buying Later the market yielded a little whh grain but the cloe was steady.

New oYrk, June 20. Today's advances In prices of stocks, after an early weakness, was no more conclusive of a settled con dition of the speculative situation and of the future course of the stock market .than was yesterday's decline. There was a brief and spasmodic period of liquida tion In Federal Steel and American Steel and "Wire In the opening dealings, -and the profeslonal bear party took advantage of this to make a drive against the whole market. But the brief duration of the decline and the firm resltance offered by prises at the low points warned the bears of the futility of an effort to break the whole market. They, therefore, took their profits on the decline of yesterday and this morning by buying stocks at the low level. There was some organized buying of the Flower group of specialties, not only in support of Federal Steel, but for the long account In Brooklyn Transit. People's Gas and other specialties. The action of the wheat market prompted some buying of the grangers also. The continued weakness of wheat In face of the well-defined infor mation of poor crops In Russia and east ern Europe made the conclusion unavoid able that supplies of American wheat were believed to be forthcoming by those who are best able to Judge. Aside from this the market continued very narrow and professional and could not be said to present anything more than the covering of short contracts by yesterday's bears. The opening In both Federal Steel and Steel and Wire was wile. 5.0CO shares se'I ing at a drop of VA to 3 pDlnts and 6.CO) shares of the latter showing simultaneous transactions from 1U to 2i below last night's prices. The motive of course was the granting of the Judicial Injunction against the payment of the lt per cei.t dividend which ha been declared on Fed eral Steel common, on the ground that be fore the expiration of the fiscal year the prior right of the preferred stock to Its 6 per cent dividend could not be Insured. The statement of President Gary that a sufficient sum had already bon set aside to pay a yearly dividend on the preferred slock was the decisive influence in the rallly of both stocks. The net decline for each on the day Is only about a point. Rather conspicuous strength was shown by the Union Pacific stocks. New Tork Central and Pennsylvania in the late deal ings, but as these have recently had sharp declines their relatively greater advances were but natural. Operations by outsiders through commission houses continued at a minimum. Sugar was strong. Continental and American Tobacco company was weak and the local traction stocks moved up ward. Some apprehension still exists cer the threatening situation In France and in South Africa and the ruling price for money in Berlin, which is the result of a rather unbridled speculation. The advance In money In Berlin was reflected In higher discount rates In London and an advance in the rate for sterling exchange here, which Is believed fo foreshadow a further outflow of gold. The total sales of stocks todiy amounted to 356 514 shares.

Early In the morning Superintendent Darrlgrand had .set to work a gang of dock hands and testers In chSrge of Fore man Crans, getting ready the meats for shipment for the day and also for the several gradations of the curing processes. At the time of the disaster there were about fourteen men In and about that eect on of the works which, by the way, though out of doors is under roof. There Is estimated to have been about 70,000 pounds of meats lying on the floors, most ly dhort clears and side cuts from the dry salt cellar. Just why this compara tively minimum weight should have had that effect Is not yet clear until the de bris has been more completely cleared away, as there have been many times that amount of meat renting on the same sec tion during the rast ten years. It is not uncommon .'n emergencies for 2V),o0 pjfnds or mon of weight to be imme diately on this particular spot and not the least strain o-er before evidenced. The timbers are the very heaviest ever placed In such a construction, and they rest on pillars and foundations the bt to be pro vided. But the shivered and shntterel planks and the complete melting away of the whole construction seem to Indicate a weak spot somewhere which, when it could no longer resist the strain, caused the whole affair to collapse. Tho meats and the trucks and other utensils and dock fixtures Involved sank into the department twelve feet below known as tho wash rooms of the smoko houses, that Is, for the emergency houses recently erected and known as "Number 5" and "Number C." Nothing there was damaged as tho space was at the time fortunately clear and the hanging meats in process of smoking all in the houses safe. Of the whole force of men at the time busy around the fated section, none were seriously hurt, in fact, tbero wero prac tically none Involved In the wreck, as though like a miracle all happened to be just on the outride edge.i of the spot In volved and away from the immediate dis aster. Neither was there any loss at tending the casualty .other than a tem porary delay In the handling of the stuff then being cared for and the later incon venience from the loss of time necessary in clearing away the debris and repairing the ruin. The ever present and effective strict and Inviolable discipline uh'ch Is maintained all through the departments of this well regulated institution was at once displayed when within five minute., the first gang at the time employed In getting ready the day's shipments was transferred to other quarters and kept steadily at work, with hardly a hitch In the usual proceedings nnd the work carried on as thouKh noth ing had happened, and immediately from other parts of the building special snnps were .'iimmnnul under the Immediate charge of Manager Fred Dold and Super intendent DarHerand. and at once work was commenced to get ttic meate up out of the cellar and the tuLned and shat tered timber. cleared awa. It Is a mar vel that no one was hurt, but there were two colored men badly scared and one thought surely ho had been shot. Tho carpenter h-n force are nil at work nicht nnd day with specially arranged facilities and with n a few day a new flooring will be in place and all trouble repaired. In the meantime affairs go on just the same and shipments. which the past week have been very heavy, will not be hindered la thj least. BOOMS WICHITA BOY Richnrd 31, Itean Complimented by IjOiiHvitie Courier Journal, In a recent Issue of the Louisville Courier-Journal there appears the flowing very handsome and meritorious eulogy and editorial write-up of a former of Wichita boy. whose early Jlfe and schooling were In this city and whose parents are now resi dents of the city. The article Is headed by a fine portrait of the young man: Richard Menefee Bean, one of the bnys hish school graduates of the clas of 1S9. who was given his diploma at the com mencement exercises held last night, has had mora exerience than most of his fol lows in hi class. Youmr Bean was in the junior clas when the president issued his call for 'Innteers last April, and, fired with martial spirit, he laid aside his books to shoulder a gun. In Lexington, at Chlck amaupa, in Newport News, on the tr op shlp Alamo, and during the Porto RIcnn campaign, he wa ever ready for any duty to be done, and was one of the best sol diers In the First Kentucky volunteers. His gxvi constitution took him through the hardships without any capitulation on the part of his health, and with the boys he marched back lqto Louisville on De comber IJ. stronger in overy wav than the day, when, set en month before, he had gone away. Mr. Bean then proved hlm se!m to be as good a student as he had been a soldier, and entering th senior class, with the handicap of mere than three months work miss"ed by his absence, he applied himself so diligently to his studies that he ea.lly posed tko examina tion held In May. His friends and ac quaintances will be glad to hear that he has already ecured a goed position In the office of Ballard Ba'lard.

"He was elected president of sev eral literary and social clubs at college and, as the above article recites, at once responded to the presidents call for troops, and it was all arranged without his knowl edge oil soliciting that had there been an other regiment organized from Kentucky ho was to have been made a line officer. As it was, he enlisted as a private and served through the campaign In tho mili tary operations at Porto Itlco. under Gen eral Miles. At the close of the operations there, he at once entered with the same energy and enthusiasm In his suspended school work, with which he entered the army. The splendid re.sults are shown In the above article. HLs father. Colonel R. T. Bean, served as a gallant and vigorous officer under the dashing General Morgan.

RAN HIM TU THE PARK Jnke Miller IIm Murd Time to Keep HlsKIff. Jake Miller, city salesman for Ihman Hlgglnson, came very nearly selling hl3 carriage yesterday. In Eplte of tho fact that the vehicle Is a nice one and Mr. Mil ler began the day with no desire to part with It. As he was driving down Douglas aenue. near Frank GIdday's cigar house, a gentleman stopped him and asked him what he wanted for his buggy. "Don't want to sell," said Miller, and drove on. In front of Mackey's drug store another man, a stranger, overtook him anj hallooed out: "What d'ye want for it?" "What are you talking about?" "That buggy." "Alnt for sale." Just around the corner of the Manhat tan two men struck him about the same time .and Mr. Miller escaped without an swering. About the Masonic temple, he was hailed by another man who wanted to buy the rig. From there he drove out to the park to escape, and sot out to look his bupsy over and see Ahat attractive feat ures he had overlooked that made Wichita crazy all at once to buy It. The first thlnir he saw was a placard, hunjr to the back end by a clerk at Carvln Sparr'-: THIS RIG CHEAP FOR CASH. MUST SELLI JUDGE MITCHELL ARRESTED Will be Called Upt.n to :Flne Himself for Fnt Driving. Police Judge Mitchell was arrested jesfrday for. Indulging in fast driving in Riverside park, and today he 'will appear before himself and be fined. Together with h'm and under the same charge are Dr Barth and Fred Dold. All were ar rested by New halt and Bell, special park patrolmen. Judpe Mitchell is trying every way polble to conInce himself that he is not guilty, and if he should stand up before hi august majesty today and say to himself "not guilty." there will be a riot in the pol.ee court, and the other two prisoners, Mr. Dold and Dr. Barth. will hae a perfect richt to make a break for the door, while the two colored siris in the basement -will utter the cry of outrage on the ground of clllcirtl preferment. Chief Jones cays that Judgts Mitchell must be fined for his reckless habits, -which always begin the moment he enters the parks after work ing hours. The patrolmen say that when they discovered Judge Mitchell drllng like a jockey around Riverside, he could not be stopped under S yards, so great was his momentum. His feet were stretched out over the dashboard and his whiskers were dancling in the wind be hind the buggy, and his manner was ex ceeding reckless The patrolmen will ap pear as prosecuting witnesses before the judge and make it very easy for him to convict himself, after which he will be expected to tine himself the regular fee, or place himself on bread and water diet for a few days. GOING TO OKLAHOMA Harvest nanus Workine TtaelrWay to the Lance Whent Fields. The various depots and railroad yards of the city have been the seen of crowds of work hands and serai-tramps of late -working their way to Oklahoma, where they expect to get work in the big har vest fields. Wheat harvest has already begun and work hands will be very scarce. The reapers will be wo-klng night and day for the next two -week and a gentleman at the depot said es terday that many of the farmers will work a night and day shift. SANDS OF THE CIMARRON Blown Away, Exposing Skel etons and Weapons. R. M. Cooper of this city made a very Important discovery last Sunday two miles from "Wynoka, O. T., and today or tomorrow his collection of skulls, human skeletons, horse pistols and old flint lock muskets, will arrive in this city and be put on exhibition to be investigated, discussed and explained by old timers who are acquainted with the nature and manner of tragedies of the past on the open prairies of the wild country of Okla homa and Kansas. Mr. Cooper is a brother-in-law of J. H. Rice, a stone mason at the new Congregational church. He works with the railroad fence gang and last Sunday while the employes were laying off at Wynoka Mr. Cooper and a 'friend named Carter concluded to go fishing in the Cimarron. Near the place they selected was a mammoth sand bill. The sand had been blown for ages along rhe banks until it was stacked up in great tall hills, and the scene is described as a most lonely place. The wind had blown out a large basin and in the basin water was standing, evidently coming from a living spring. Qlr. Carter put in the time fishing in the basin of clear water while Mr. Cooper roved about over the hills to see what the wind could do with loose sand. He saw the end of a gun barrel sticking out of the ground. It proved to be an old fashioned flint-lock gun, and was so badly rusted that the hammer would not work. The hammer was left standing just as if it had been drawn ready to fire. Mr. Cooper began raking around in the sand and succeeded In unearthing the metaE parts of two more muskets, be sides part of an old horse-pistol. In the same excavation which the winds had made were discovered two skulls and parts of many other skeletons. Through one of the skulls Is a bullet hole, and when Mr. Cooper picked the skull up he also found the flattened bullet Just under It. which shows that tho head of the vic tim had never been moved from where the tragedy took place. A little ways east of this was found the other skull and a few yards from the skulls laid the part of another skeleton, consisting of a backbone to which several ribs were at tached. These were hard enough to lift about without breaking, but many other bones which wero unearthed were 60 badly decomposed that they crumbled with the least movement and could not ba handled. A little exposure to the sun whitened the bones that were unearthed. The relics were carefully prepared and taken to Wynoka and placed upon the train for transportation to this city. They created a great deal of comment at Wynoka, and large searching parties were organized to make a more thor ough search of the place, and it may be that some valuable finds will be 'made. Old timers In that locality seemed to think that the place had been the scene of a terrible border tragedy In the early days between: emigrants and Indians, while others thought it likely that there had been a flsht between emigrants and border ruffians during the gold excite ment of 43 and the victims had been buried in the sand which the winds of years had blown away and exposed the remains of the dead. Mr. Cooper has al ready been offered good sums of money for his relics, but he will not dispose of them for awhile. WIFE'S UNGOVERNABLE TEMPER Caasa Georre Forrell to Petition, for a Divorce. George Ferrell has sued his wife, Mary Ferrell. for divorce. The petition which was filed esterday in tho district court states that they were married in Sedalla, Mo two years before their last child was born and they have two children, Adele C Ferrell, aged 11, and Paul H. Ferrell. aged 12. They were married, the petition states, In 1SS9. The husband has alwajs conducted himself as a good hus band and provided his wife with all the necessaries of Slfe, besides a few lux uries. He claims that notwithstanding his good deeds sho is guilty of gross cruelty, In that she will not cook for him or the children, and furthermore, will not allow him to bring a hired pirl on the place to cook for them, compell ing him and his children to board at a down town restaurant. Mr. Ferrell says that his wife has a bad -and ungovern able temper and frequently calls him bad names and makes life miserable. He agrees to pay the expenses of the suit and bear the living expenses of Mrs. Ferrell during the pendency of the suit. He asks for the custody and care of the children, claiming that Mrs. Ferrell Is not a fit person to have control of them, and that he will provide for them with good homes and ghe them an education. TACKETTS DEAD BODY Hot FeHHft, BHt fir. Uenton Believes Him Dead. Mr. Ell Bcr.fti. the engineer at the court house, denies the report credited to him relating to the discovery of Tackett's body In a haystack five miles west of this city A reporter for the Eagle, who could not see him to verify the report before publishing it. rode out to his home on the West Side last een lng to get further particulars. Mr. Ben ton said that Tackett's body had net been found. He admitted, however, of having been told by a friend of the Tacketts that the jallbreaker was dead. His informant told him in the utmost confidence, for the reason that the in formant had talked with Tackett's pals, who told him that they had left Tack ett dying and that he could not live more than two hours. The report may have been a ruse to thiow the officers off their guard, but Mr. Benton believes the fellow was telling the truth, and he said he ventured the opinion that Tackett's body wauld likely be found in a hay stack, and laid the ramor as reported in the Eagle to the fact that he had ex pressed that opinion.
