"Pardon me." said McCarthy, exaaxer- -atlngly deprecating Toasts sad turning i the guard for an answer. "Wall, about twenty-five" minutes or -half hour's run If you want to knew," Really "one never knows" the risk one runs In traveling. He was a very good-looking chap, young and stalwart, and was In the best pt spirits, too. this fine summer morning, for he was on his way home to Ireland, on a short but well-, earned holiday from a large business establishment in Manchester. His lustrous, bright blue eyes had In them fathomless depths of humor and of pathos eyes which made strangers gase at him as be perambulated the platform waiting for the train.

He sat down on a station bench 'and was scarcely conscious of the presence of a lady who had followed his lead and sat down by side; not that he mas callous or Impervious to female charm on the contrary, like most of his countrymen, he appreciated It, always, to the fullest extent. But Just now" his thoughts were far away for memory's kodak was busy1 with train snapshots of his mountain home in Kerr that lotus land of beauty, where his widowed mother counted the hours till she could see him again. The arrival of tlwhuge main-line train and the strident voice of the railway porter brought him abruptly back to reality. "Culmhirt Junction! Change here, for Cokehampton and Westerly!" McCarthy, responding to the order. "Take seats, please!" got tip and entered an empty second-class smoking compartment.

He knew how to make himself comfortable, and did not like a cromeL He had Jus: lighted a cigar whn the lady having gone the length of the platform ret unwd. and hastily. Just as the whistle sounded, opened the door and entered. He raUed his hat. and they soon became Quite chummy.

She was young and undoubtedly very handsome juite fetching, in fact. She seated herself in ibe far corner opposite. began by talking commonplace about the weather. He had a supply of periodicals and Illustrated papers which he handed her and which she graciously looked at. Her whole "get-up" was in perfect keeping and taste.

She talked well. His accent told her be was Irish, and she thought it probable that he was a Roman Catholic, so she drifted naturally into theology, and playfully explained that the only real difficulty she felt wjth regard to the Catholic church and because it was so dreadfully strict and exacting at least, for women. McCarthy expressed his conviction that she. at roast, would not need a strict father-confessor, whereat she laughed a fft. silvery laugh, and sighed archly They m-ere enjoying themselves so thor oughly that twenty minutes fiem- by in no time; then presently the train slowed down.

Th-y were nearlng 'a station. The smoke from his cigar curled" up to the roof of the compartment as he toek It from his mouth to look Interestedly at It, as smokers will. He was cautiously replacing it between his lips, when suddenly, "in the twinkling of an eye." she sprang to her feet, and with the rapidity of one demented, pulled the cord of communication at the open window, flung all the papers m-ldely about tore off her exquisitely trimmed hat. and aome rosea from her breast, trampling upon them frantically Then, rushing to the window, she shrieked as women never, to his knowledge, had shrieked before, winding up with an ear-splltlng. blood-curdling cry of "Murder! Murder! Police!" Then, flinging herself prone on the seat.

her hah streaming over her shoulders, she lay as If dead. The train came to a sudden standstill. and a terrible commotion ensued McCarthy was Interrogated. He could only say that the lady suddenly went off her head and then fainted Sundry passengers sniggered, others spoke with bated breath and whispered to the guard, who decided that It was better to push on to the next station. which was only a couple of miles distant, and where policeman would be found.

He got Into the same compartment as a precautionary measure, with McCarthy. m-ho silently continued to smoke. "This Is a serious business, sir." he ventured to remark, before giving the sig nal for departure "It would s-em so," was the Imper turbable reply. With astonishing rapidity the lady now recovered consciousness and spoke. With equally astonishing volubility she nar rated.

In response to the guard's Invitation, how she had been grosaly Insull'-d by the young man, how he had the au- dacity to attempt to kiss her, and had put his arm around her waist. It nil happened so suddenly. She had been asleep. She had Just strength enough to atruKKle free and so forth-After that she fainted and remembered more, she said. When the train stopped again there were angry comments very angry while a policeman was being got.

McCarthy should be given in e-harg thre was nothing else for It. Much sympathy was expiso all 'round for the sarred and panting Jady. one person alone dlsse ntlns ti elderly City Council Repeals Bicycle Ordinance. DOG TAXES ARE RAISED Sunday Fasebali Playing Is Prohibited. At an adjourned session of the members of the city council hld last night drastic measures were taken by that body io prevent further accidents happening from bicyclists riding on the sidewalks; to prevent an over running of the city by does and to put a etop to Sunday baseball playing.

In regard to the riding of sidewalks by bicyclists the city attorney was empower ed with the authority to repeal the pres ent bicycle ordinance wherein bicyclists permitted to ride on sidewalks dur- muddy weather. Hereafter they wM be permitted to do so under any cir- stances. rain or ordinance to supplant the present one wherein the owners of male dosrs are required only to pay a tax of one dollar fcr each and two for female dogs was rearranged so as to read two dollars for each male dog and five dollars for each female. For a violation of this ordinance any one conviete-d shall be fined not less than S5 or to exceed tlOO. or be punished by a sentence of thirty days 1 nth city Jail.

In regard to several petitions from church members and ethers requesting that Sunday bast-ball not be allowed on motion of Councilman McKee the prayer of the petitioners was granted. The latter, had been referred to the franchise committee at a former meeting, but due to one of the members being absent several were not disposed to wait until his return and the council acted on the question In a body. A proposition to pass an ordinance, which was all in readiness, to prohibit the sale of cigarettes and cigarette papers to any person, regardless of sex or age. was referred to the franchise committee. It has been under advisement for some time and several of the members.

on the baseball petition, seemed desirous of taking the matter into the hands of the council without waiting for a report from the committee. Most of the members eemed desirous of passing an ordinance regulating the sale of cigarettes and papers to minors, but only one cared to pass an ordinance prohibiting their sale to ail classes of people alike. One matter which consumed a large pirt of the meeting time was that of Cleaning the streets. Mayor McLean, "aho is of the opinion that the city is now 'at too much expense for that work, submitted a plan to the members of the council whereby O. C.

Daisy had agreed to weep the streets once each night for 15. According to tisures this would decrease the present cost something like J79 chea week. Councilman Burton moved that If such agreement be male the city clerk should first advertise for bids. After a lengthy discussion and the taking of. several votes on motions concerning the question it was decided to give Mr.

Daisy a month's trial with his sweeper at the greed price. If satisfactory the white wings will be done away with and the rew scheme installed permanetnly. In regard to the barn on West English etreet which was condemned some time ago. Councilman Burton made a motion which carried that the c'ty attorney and the fire marshal be empowered with authority to see about tearing down the building. It is alleged very unsafe and the fire marshal reported that the insurance rates had ben Increased on adjoining property due to the bad condition of the barn.

It is reported to be on the verge of collapsing. Councilman W. II. Isly of the scales and pavin? committer reported that he with the other members of that committee had visited the seal's and found thm to be in good condition and kept strictly ac-cordlngto rules. Councilman FeHew of the public improvement committee reported that he had secured a tenant for the building on the aymarket grounds at a montly rental of $25 wit a good bond of $3i0 as security.

Te council allowed an amount of $20 for repairs on te property after learning tat It ad bcn leased to a responsible person. Councilman Davidson ad two pet'tions asking for the operdrg. of Wichita and Waco avenues south of Douglas between Orme and fJreenway. The opening of Waco was allowed, but that of Wichita was laid on the taM owing an objection to the rl.in on the part of some of the residents. On motion by Counrilm-in C.

I. David- son the city attorney was Instructed to prepare the rmj-er papers whereby a drain will bo instated and paid for under the Wichita ar.d Western tracks at III-ramb street on the West Side. "A mtlin srant the prayers of the petitioners of r-idnts ah ng Pattie avenue between KeMogjr and Hunterj are ingt not! cutn i i cfl chamber, along with the dry attorney, tc discuss the proposition of having the flood gate Installed. It seems that some of the older residents along the river believe that erecting the flood gate would cause their property to be endangered by the high waters. The matter will be settled definitely at the meeting Friday.

la the estimate of the first payment for the work of installing sewer district number four. The cost Is to be paid in four payments. Before making the first payment the city engineer and 'sewer and drainage committee will go over the system and make a report at the next regular meeting. It was moved and seconded that the city clerk make an announcement requesting the appraisers who were appointed to decide on the special taxation for the work of Installing sewer district number four, to bring in the result of their appraisement. A petition to open Wichita street from Zimmerly to Lincoln, was referred to the public improvement committee.

A petition to paw Lawrence avenue from Douglas avenue to Williams street was read and referred to Its proper committee. The residents along that thoroughfare want a brick pavement installed. A band petition was opened by the city clerk and ruled out of order. The council will not take up anything in this line for some time. JThe appraisers appointed to judge the value of ground along University, Seneca, and Rock Island, which is subect to special taxation on account of the new pavement, have made their reports.

Special meetlrgs have been called for Friday afternoon at 4:20 and 5 o'clock. In the council chamber to hear complaints, should there be any on the part of the property owners. An invitation was read asking that a committee be appointed to attend a convention of the good roads association, which will be held In St. Louis during the world's fair. Mayor McLean appointed C.

L. Davidson. W.D. Pierce, J. W.

Reynolds, a prominent farmer living near Valley Center, shot and Instantly killed himself with a 22 -calibre rifle in a barn at his home Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock. Although the family firmly believe that the shooting was accidental, appearances strongly point to auicide.

The young man attended church services ij the morning and at dinner seemed to be in the best of spirits. He had premised to take his mother for a drive after dinned, but finally persuaded his twin sister. Flora, to accompany her instead. He hitched the horse for them and went back to the barn. Just as the mother and daughter were ready to start, they heard a shot and both hurried to the barn.

They found him sitting In an upright position with a 22 rifle between his knees. One end of the barrel was In his mouth. He was dead when they reached him, the bullet having passed through his mouth and out at the back of his head. Reynolds was a young man of excellent habits and character and no cause for the deed is known other than some misunderstanding with his father, but this was nothing that would cause hlrn to commit such a deed. He has been, however, suffering from melancholia for the past three months, and his friends say that he has not been well.

It Is understood that he left some letter which will be brought' to the city todiy with the body, but at present their contents are not known. 1 The young man is well known this city, having aUended the Wichita Business college last year, during which time he finished the commercial course.

HUNDREDS ATTENDED SHOW Prof. Gleason Gave Exhibition to Packed Tent. Fully twenty-five hundred people attended the opening of Prof.

Gleason's "Horse Taming Exposition" at the corner of Central and Main street last night and about that many more were unable to gain admittance on account of the smallness of the grounds. This is one of the most novel and in all the most instructive and amusing performances ever given here. Prof. lea-son, as a horse tamer, would be hard to equal. To see a man take a vicious horse that has never been driven or has never had such a thing as a bridle on.

and at the least sound will Jump, kick and try to run away, then aftetr going through what is- termed his first lesson, can be driven to a buggy the same as any old family horse, is marvelous. This and much more was accomplished by Prof. Gleason with the different horses last night. The first animal, a bay mare which the owner claimed had never been driven before, and it would be safe to say it never had, for a more nervous horse would certainly be hard to find. This horse, when first taken into the arena, was first taught the word "whoa" commonly used by every driver, and after showing the audience how little the horse knew of this word.

Prof. Gleason then proved how easy horses can be taught to understand by giving them the proper training. In about Ave' minutes after the horse had entered the ring it would start and stop at his command. Then came the most difficult part of the work, teaching the horse not to be afraid of music, or scare when one attempts to drive him on a crowded street during a parade, a time when the most gentle horses will frighten. This was accomplished by taking flags, a drum and four or five tin pans on a string so that when they were rattled it made a terrible noise.

The horse at first would not stand for such a thing as this, but by careful training for a half hour seemed to enjoy the fun and i at the last even c6nsented to have the bass drum his back while the man boat it. The second horse was taught how to appreciate music and to enjoy the Fourth of. July. Mr. Conly, the owner, was completely surprised, for the horse had never rxen near a band but what he balked or tried to run away.

The funny part of the performance mas when Mr. Conly started away with the horse terested man in the audience, for he hs owned the horse for thirteen years and horse always had its way until last night. PaUa to actor Oimj muni var. a hadT Mr. Reese has something like $SQ0O worth Sof farm lands In the eastern part of Kan sas off of which be has a liberal income.

FAIRMOUNT BOYS WIN Defeated Sterling 'Ball Team 23 to 8 Yesterday. Fairmount baseball team beat the Sterling boys yesterday afternoon 28 to 8. on the diamond at Sterling. Kansas, and it was the first college game tbey have played this and the Sterling boys have played five and won them.alL They are feeling fine their victory. The game was not without its sensational features, the batting of Captain Bates arousing great enthusiasm.

He knocked five balls over the fence for three home runs and two7 two-baggers, which beats the state record for "stick" work. Soltes got one home run and ttahl made six scores, the most made by any one man during the game. The Fairmountboys go on to Lindsborg to play the Swedes today and they expect to win. They have a stron gteam and claim that they will give the Wichita people some fast games this season as they will meet on the home grounds some of the fastest teams in the state during the present season. JURY ABOUT SECURED Stevens Case Will Probably Begin This Morning.

Empanelling the jury In, the Stevens case, occupied the entire afternoon yesterday at the district court, and when court adjourned there were eleven men in the Jury box. and as the defense are entitled to only one more peremptory challenge, the case will probably be ready for trial tome time this mornlrfg. The special venire of forty names was exhausted yesterday afternoon and a call for five new Jurors was made yesterday evening after the court adjourned. The names drawn on this list were: George Shields, city; J. H.

Herman, Kechl; A. Beffel. city; J. G. DenhollenJ city; Franck.

city. These men will report this morning at nine o'clock in the district court room, and it is thought that out of this number the remaining vacancy in the Jury box will be filled. Both the prosecution and the defense claim that stronger evidence will be Introduced this time than at the proceeding trial, and a very interesting case will probably result. Owing to the busy season for the. farmers, the matter of securing Jurors for this term has been exceedingly difficult.

The farmers are too busy at this time of year to leave their work, as in many cases they have no one else In charge. RELAPSE WAS FATAL Mrs. Katherine Rellly Was Taken III Sunday. Mrs. Katherine Rellly died at her home at 423 West Second street yesterday morning.
