IMPORTANT CALLERS. Yesterday in company with Superintendent Perkins and Mr.

Oak Davidson, Mr. J. C. Moore, of Manchester, X. president of the Burton car -works, Mr George D.

Burton, treasurer, and M. Y. LAv-ington, a director, made us a call. President Moore had npver been as far west as Kansas before and neither Mr. Burton or Mr.

Livingtou had ever been to Wichita previous to this visit. They were all or apparently so. delighted with the location and progress of the works. As for Kansas and its metropolis, although landing here in the face of a terrible blizzard they were warm in their praise. Mr.

Moore observed that a city which looked so pleasant and bright in a storm must be attractive indeed in fair weather. The gentlemen left for the east by last evening's Santa Fe express. tok A LIVELY TILT OYER THE --BLKKEK" OR "VAPOR LIGHT" QUESTION. A Sewer System Adopted Motor Line Ordinances Again Routine Work. City council met last night in regular session with all present except Harris and Simison.

Quite a number asked what question would call out the customary fight, and in answer frequently more than one issue would be mentioned. The members took their seats, however, without any strong expectations of a bitter fight on any question. The flush in the facts which seemed to prevail at the adjournment of the previous meeting had disappeared. The "members looked at each other very pleasantly possibly with two exceptions. As the clerk read the voluminous minutes of the three previous meetings the lobby was partially filled by gentlemen interested in questions to be introduced.

A glance at the spectators caused those familiar with council business to suspect that some more motor line racket was on deck. Some suggested that the "Healy-Goldberg blinker" question would be one of the first to flash, and others thought that probably Healy would not apply the match to the fuse. When the minutes had been read, Mr. Healy said he wanted the First ward to have ten electric lights instead of fifty blinkers. He had investigated the question and all wanted the ten electric lights and they would cost less than fifty blinkers and give as "much light as five hundred He thought the minutes should be changed before approved so the lights would not bo officially ordered by the council.

Buckridge thought the motion provided tliat the councilmen from each ward were empowered to locate the lights. If the councilmen from the First ward did not want lights they need not locate them. Some councilmen thought they would be compelled to locate the lights Healy moved that the part of the minutes referring to vapor lights be expunged. Kenyou proved a second. Buckridge I suppose the clerk keeps correct minutes and no one denies that.

The understanding is that each ward's councilmen locate the lights of that ward. It don't look right to erase what has been done. M. Dyer If Mr. Goldberg supplies lights you will have to pay him whether you locate them or not.

Johnson I would like to know what Healy is kicking about, ne got beat at it last time. Healy I will tell you what I am kicking about. Some months ago offered some lights all night for per year, now you recommended this man's lights for $21 and the city has ordered 120 of them. The vote showed Healy, English and Derby in the affirmative. Mr.

Kenyon, of the finance committe, reported present indebtedness of city In treasury, Debts due on the first of next month amount to 610,002.93. The condition of money market he thought indicated that taxes would not be paid in very sooh. Tho street force was instructed to clean up the leaves along the streets. The gates and crossings some mouths ago ordered by the city council to be constructed at certain streets across railroads were referred to by Buckridge, and the street commissioner wus ordered to see if the work had been done by the railroads. Mr.

Goldberg, the vapor light man, addressed the council on the lighting scheme and stated that he was lighting as cheaply as any ono else aud it was a mistake that any one had offered the lights for $13 per year. "Will give any one $13 to light and furnish gasoline. Healy Take Goldberg at his figures its a big profit. In the First ward we want to save the city $30 per year by taking ten electric lights down there. Johnson gives the Third ward 23 lights and has not corners enough in the ward to put them.

Johnson You can place the electric lights in the fiirst ward to accommodate the people there as Mr. Golding can with the vapor lights. Gas lights were ordered on the corner of Waco avenue and Ninth and Tenth streets. Mr. Ilealy of railroad committee stated that tho railroads in the city should be compelled to plank the entire track.

This should be done in the central part of the city. As it is the railroads aie using territory that cost several hundred thousand dollars. He recommended planking on Ft. Scott from Douglas to Park, Mid-laud from Central to Orme, Santa Fe where they occupy Fifth avenue, Wichita Western from Fourth to Lawrence avenue. Buckridge moved that the recommendation be adopted.

It was canied unanimously. On motion of Buckridge the police com mission was instructed to get the "cooler" boarders 13 cent meals instead of paying 20 cents, as at present. Mr. Healy said that a few months ago insurance companies thought Wichita well protected. The long howls of councilmen about fire danger was reported in the papers and the agents for fire apparatus sent the papers to insurance companies and a -whole gang of general agents came to the city and wanted to raise the cost of getting insured one-quarter above what it i-- at present.

The local agents persuaded them not to raise the present rate. He suggested that more care be taken in distributing water mains. Several miles of water mams had been ordered for nearly a year, but not put down. It was claimed that they could not "get iron." It was moved that a committee be appointed to look after the proper distribution of mains to be located in the future. Carried.

Curbing and guttering around the Sedgwick block. The city engineer was instructed to make and estimate of the cost, with plans and specifications. Mr. Brown said the city had promised sewerage to several large buildings on Main street and the Topeka avenue sewer should be so extended as to accommodate those building. The city engineer submitted an ordinance showing how to secure funds for building a sewer.

He stated that to build pieces at a time would make considerable trouble-even more trouble than to sewer a district at a time. Mr. Derby You remember we promised sewerage for the Sedgwick building and I believe we ought to do as we promised. There was a general discussion on the sewerage question and decided to adopt the plans purchased from Rosewater-Ar Christie. An ordinance was passed prohibiting the Wichita Yalley Center Motor Line from using steam south of Nineteenth street on Market street.

The ordinance to take ef fect on the first day of January next. A petition from hack owners asking that ordinance to protect tkem from deadbeats was re- ferred with the city attorney stating that the drivers had best collect fare before doing service. The mavor in this connec tion mentioned the fact of reckless driving on the part of coachmen. Some seemed to care little who they run over. They were not even respectors of persons.

A petition asking that the Rock Island company be compelled to grade Mead avenue from Central north city limits was referred to public improvement commitee. The city attorney was instructed to draw up an ordinance appropriating $30 a month to the Benevolent Home. The city attorney was also instructed to draw up an ordinance prohibiting anyone leaving open holes on the streets. Street commissioner was ordered to notify C. Firebaugh to repair walk in front of property on North Topeka avenue.

Street bills as read amounted to $500. Metropolitan police bill $1,236. The former was allowed. Mr. English said that Hendershot, assistant city engineer, needed a "talking to," as his action had caused the delay in finishing the Topeka avenue sewer.

Council will probably meet next Monday night. JJI. JH. S. C'S MTEKAKY ENTERTAINMENT.

It had long been rumored that this young society would give an entertainment, the nature of which was a solemn secret, until the truth was made known to the audience last Sunday night. Long before the hour for the curtain to rise the spacious parlors of Mr. and Mrs. Wallen-stein, No. 321 North Market, were filed to their utmost capacity.

The full program was successfully carried out: PROGRAM ART I. Duett Piano and violin Prof. Beach and Miss Hirch. Recitation Scene from Hunchback Miss Esther Drukker. Duett Piano "Witches Flight.

as an elocutionist, is too well known to need individual comment here. She outranked her previous effort. Misses Phoebe Goldberg and Rosa Shlessinger touched tho ivory keys of the piano with ease and grace. The sweet singing of Miss Lillie Drukker formed a delightful part of the program. The second part of the program was no less interesting than the first, and the his-tronic talcntof each participant was highly commented upon by tho audience.

Lack of space alone prevents a sketch of the separate scenes. David Levy made an ideal Brown, and played the part to perfection. On entering he was greeted with applause. His mimicry and pontomine performance in tho second act furnished entertainment in itself, and kept the audience fairly couvulsed with laughter-Levy was Miss Solomon, as Matilda Dix, played her part very acceptably. Miss Negbaur as a literary lady, was full of Spencer, Shakspcare, Byron etc.

She assumed her role admirably. Miss Hano-ver, as widow Barnarby was a great success. Miss Lillie Duk ker as the village coquete was realistic, well suited for tho part, and was perfectly at ease on the stage. Miss Phoebe Goldberg showed herself to be a model housekeeper. The entertainment was an artistic and financial success.

The program on the whole, was exceedingly well carried out, and the performances of those who took part far surpassed the most sanguine expectations of the audience. Everybody was satisfied and expressed the wish that the society would soon give another literary treat. The society takes this means of pnblicly expressing their thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Wailenstein for the unbounded hospitality shoi-gi them Sunday evening, and also to Mr.

M. S.JDrukker for the kind use of -his piano. After the performance the young folks were royally entertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S.

Drukkee on North Waco, Where dancing, singing, merriment and glee. Closed the first entertainment of the M. M. S. C.

ANOTHER CHAPTER. An interesting and rather racy suit, it will be remembered, came up in the justice court last summer in which Mr. George T. Morris and Miss Sarah had been living together in this city for some time as man and wife, were arrested. The prosecutiug witness had come all the way from Michigan in order to bring the suit against her erring husband and runaway servant girl.

The matter was at the time settled by Sarah returning to her home in Michigan and George giving his promise to do better in the future. The matter was thus almost entirely forgotten until yesterday morning when Detective McMa han asked for a transcript of the case as tried here, saying that it ss-as needed at Fort Smith, Arkansas, where Morris and his Sarah were in custody of the law. In-, stead of returning to Michigan as she had promised, the servant girl had gone to Fort Smith and was afterwards joined there by Morris. The much abused wife managed to-get track of the couple and the suit in question was the result. BOARD OF TRADE.

The Board of Trade held a very important meeting yesterday afternoon continuing in session from 3 till 6 o'clock, during which long session hardly a man withdrew. The principal matter discussed was one in which the city as a whole is greatl interested, aud upon which definite action was determined. Before adjourning the executive committee were instructed to lease the largo room heretofore referred to in the Sedgwick block for permanent headquarters. The room is larger than the court room, with a dome shaped roof and will be supplied. with water, gas, closets, etc, with secrcta-iy and committee rooms ad-joing and restuarant below.

It wll be fixed up and furnished in a comfortable way and made a general rendezvous for members. THE WATER WORKS. The water works main on Douglas avenue street car bridge bursted Sunday night.

Now. while I approve of this enterprise, and will most heartily support it, yet I want to understand fully just what is intended before I sign thepetitich. Is it your purpose to simply build a court house, or does the petition mean a court house and jail in the basement? If so, why not say so in your petition? We certainly need a jail more than a court house, but as a matter of convenient and economy, they should be built together. While we all agree that we should have a good court house, many of us believe that $100,000 in bonds, and the old county building and lots, converted into cash, would be sufficient to build and furnish in excellent style, both court house and jail. This amount of money paid out in Wichita to our own people benefit all.

This contract should be let to Sedgwick county men, and the money kept at home if possible. But I that you should state definitely just what are going to do. Jqhn Kelly. approaching nurttal. Cards are out for the wedding and reception of Miss Leora B.
