Yesterday. January 1. was the first anniversary of the Kansas Steam Laun dry under its present management, and its proprietors celebrated the occasion with eclat. In view of great Increase In the volume and very satisfactory Improvement in every way In business during the year Just closed. Contrary to their expectations the adoption of the strictly cash system ou the first of December improved rather than depressed their business, which circumstance Is a hlsh compliment to the manner of doing business and quality of their work, and.

withal, promptness a Icadiiig feature in their business methods. Messrs Kawson and Freeman are altogether worthy of the warm congratulations they are receiving from their friends at the good me-isure of success that has attended their year's business operations. OFFICERS INSTALLED. ii.U. iUKIXX K.

Captain John B.Cary went through the mysteries of the dr-gTee of Master Mason last night. Th offices at th court house were all closed yesterday on account of the day being a legal holiday. Many local entertainments were glv-yn last night but they were all eclipsed py that of the Coronado club. Miss Mae Gilmore. daughter of Captain Gllrr.ore of Wellington.

New Years was enjoyed by many of ins jounn i-upir un line rKniing field at the west terminus of Morris street.

Th- regular meeting of the directors of the Wichita hv pltal will be held at th this afternoon at ZJli clock Mr. B. Ilixson of Hlxson bicycle agents at Newklrk. came in last evening. Mr.

Hlxson ls on his way to Chicago on business. JT. D. Caldwell, member of committee on legislation, left for Topeka last night. He will be in Toptka during the session of the legislature.

Chase of Chicago has been in the city during the past week the guest of Miss Belle Wibking. College Hill. The mask ball given night before last by the ladies of the Columbian club was a very successful and pleasant affair. The attendance was large and there was no lack of opportunities for enjoyment. Judge Reed of the ristrlct court will make an assignment of the criminal docket for the January term on Wednesday morning, the 2nd.

He requests a full attendance of the members of the bar. The mask ball at U. W. hall tonight promises to be a very enjoyable affair. The management is leaving nothing undone to make It a pronounc ed success.

It will be a prize affair ani many fine costumes will be seen there. Mrs. Glenn Marie 11. Field of 623 street. West Side, was South buried and dfed of dropsy Th funeral sTrl vices were preached at the home of the deceased by Pastor Sims of the Central ihiirrh church.

Miss Kate Wlggs and Miss Anna I egal tender demand obligations. Mr. Atkinson probably was not serous la bis advice. He no doubt de sired to put men to thinking. In the meantime, however, it Ls becoming fearfully dangerous to tinker with the currency question, People are alarmed as to what miht happen and a panic could easily be precipitated in which there would be no money except gold and sliver at their market price per ounce and pouniL The credit of the I taper currency once badly weakened or destroyed and all commercial paper becomes worthless.

Tbe coming legislature will have a good deal of undoing to do. Cigars are a great comfort. What did you swear off for anyway? The wholesale trade of Wichita ls capable of telng doubled in lSJVo. Dr. Parkhurst presented a roast to the Lexow committee as a New Year's gift It now develops that the prime cause of the low price oX wheat Is the visible supply.

Wichita ought to be the great entre pot for agricultural Implements for the southwest Business opportunities are better right here than at any other place In the country. There Ls room for a million dollars to be profitably invested In the Jobbing trade of Wichita. Perhsns it was Lexow'a attack on Anthony Constock, the saint which soured Parkhurst Fennoyer would be all right If he would hang a pair of storm, doors on the outside of his temper. Fossbly the reason that French duel ists cannot shoot straight Is that they have each other hypnotized. All that Ls neevssary now is to get the sponges, towels and referee ready, and the Oklahoma legislature caa con vene.

Tt the oninlon of Geonre Martin of Kansas City, tluvt tho Kepub- ucans uaveu i any margin to act uie fool on. The home market will oon be all that will le left this country, and the Democrats don't think that worth attention. Carlisle is still casting gold on the water, and receiving nothing In return but large hot gobs of public indignation. Only baffled malice would try to belittle the fame of Dr. Price's Baking Powder.

Its high reputation Is ira-pregnably fortified. The question of Irrigation Is the most important ouc before the people of Kansas, and it will be thoroughly in-vesti gated. Dr. Parkhurst ls not satisfied, because some of his personal animosities were not made the feature of the Investigation. A man who Is as used to playing leap-frog as Parkhurst should know enough not to howl If his shin gets barked a little.

The iarty of misrule will soon step down aud out forever, and another disastrous iage iu the history of Kansas will be closed. Irrigation will not only prove profitable to those who engage in it, but every effort In that direction will Increase the rainfall. It is charged that Senator Vest has made a mllin dollars In the senate. With time even old Peffer may be abla to get on to the rojtes. The public were of the opinion that the Lexow committee did fairly well, but Dr.

Parkhurst seems to think they made a great fall down. Mr. Astor assumes a good deal when he express's the opinion that he Is bated iu Amcrbai. This country don't care anything about him. John Burns has injured himself and his cause by his American trip.

He could come to this country and become a very iopular Populist While Ixxow and Parkhurst are settling their differences, Anthony Comstwk will busy scraping the hot mud off his good name. Mrs. Crannls. the decolette reformer, says that one New York woman captured four husbands by her pretty neck. She won by a neck.

Hundreds of dollars are i-r-nt out of Wichita every day for cabbages, potatoes and other vegetables that ought to be raised la this country. Good rrops always follow a cold winter In Hansa. The freezing of tbe ground Is an important factor in putting ground in good condition. Yesterday was a holiday but today Is the time to cmmcure to do your part towards post Leg Wichita to the front and your own interests as welt Short orders and qalck delivery the essential thing in applying trade. There is a vast trade that Wichita can reach better than any other town.

Quite a number of persons were assembled at Garfield hall last night to witness the installation of officers for the coming year of Garfield Pott No. 23.

Res-It was presented with a beautiful regulation pin as a mark of the respect and esteem in which she was held by hr sisters in the corps. Mrs, Emma La Pa made the presentation in a few choice short woids which were as follows: Our worthy and beloved president, it affords me great pleasure tonight to tender you this small token of the love esteem and grateful appreciations of your sisters of No. 40. In many ways our corps has never seen a more prosperous year than the one Just past, this fact is clearly demonstrated by the report you have Just made. Our gains under your administration, both numerically and financially, have been steady while over and above all the considerations the beautiful, whlte-wlnged angel of.

Charity has dwelt In our midst. The poor have been fed, the needy clothed, and those of our nation's loved ones who have answered the last roll call have each received a message of love in God's own alphabet of silent beautiful flowers. May this simple little gift only remind you of a duty consclenclous-ly performed, an obligation faithfully fulfilled and pleasant associations with your sisters of No, 40. In looking backward to that past to which no one re-turneth save on the kindly wings of remembrance. The officers Installed were: President.

Mrs. Sarah Mercer: senior vice president, Mrs. Anna Brown: Junior vice president. Mrs. Julia West: treasurer.

Mrs. Minnie Beach; chaplain. Mrs Fannie Multer; conductor, Mrs. Mary Snyder: guard. Mrs.

Kate Ely. Mrs. W. T. Buckner of Wichita officiated in a very able manner.

When the Wo man Relief Corps had concluded their installation the post again took charge of the halt Mr. Peters was called upon to make a speech which he did in a very able manner. Mr. Peters Is a forcible speaker and his talk was greatly appreciated by the audience. He spoke at length on the recent pension investigation law and demonstratc-d that out of 1.300.w0 pension- drawers only thirty-nine were convicted of fraud in securing their Tensions.

Accordng to Mr. Peters these thirty-nine were "hospital bams who never were at the front of the army when there was any possible way to get to the rear. After be had finished Judge Campbell ad diessed the audience for about ten min utes. Mr. Campbell made an entertaining speech and was applauded frequently.

He stated that Jt was probably his last opportunity to talk to an audience he was going to talk just as long as he desired. After a genuine handshaking a lap supper was served to all present. Plenty of rivals try to compete with Dr. Price's Baking Powder. None can make headway against it.

Chicago. Jan.

The Initial reunion meeting of the World's Congress auxiliary was held at the Auditorium tonight. The auxiliary was formed for the purpose of renewing the friendships and commemorating the achievements of the world's congress of IS33. It Is also ro posed to continue the work and extend the Influence and Interest of the congress. The meeting was called to order by C. C.

Bonney, cf Chicago, who was president of the congress held during the fair. In his opening address Mr. Bonney dwelt at considerable length on the work aeompllahed by the congresses held during the fair and-spoke in confident terms of the good that they will do In the future, if they only are carried on in the same manner as were the meetings of two years ago. Addresses of welcome were then made by Mrs. Charles Ilenrotin.

Mrs, Elizabeth Boynton Herbert and Mrs. Caroline K. Sherman. Dr. F.

Gunsaulls, of Chicago, followed with an address on "The Ministry of Culture. Literature and Art" Dr. Henry W. Rodgers, of Northwstern University, dwelt on "Higher Education and Good Government." Mrs. J.

W. Flower discussed the public schools and good government, and Professor Harper, prvnldent of Chicago university, spoke on "Higher Education and International Peace." A greeting front the Orient was read by Professor S. Choyo. late cf the university of Toklo. "The Religious Congresses or Crowned by the World's J-irliaroent of Religions" was discussed by Rev.

Rev. P. Mercer. Rev. J.

L. Jones and others. "The Brotherhood of Science and Faith" was the subject on which Dr. Andrew Morrissey of Norte Dame university. Dr.

J. M. Coulter of Laka Forest university, and others spoke at som length. A number of addr-ses were made by speakers not on the regular program, and letters of regret wore read from Cardinal Gibbons, Prince Wolkonsky and a number of clergy-t men who took part In the congresses of two years ago. The platform of the auxiliary was set forth by President Bonney in his opening address as follows: "We would make the social purity and moral power of which woman la the divinely appointed representative, as patent in public as It Is In private life.

We would exalt and establish nil the useful Industries of the world and crown them with blessings and honors for the ervicea they render to mankind. Other objects of the auxiliary are to establish Just and equal between labor, and capital, and provide for a system of co-o -ration between them. Similar meetings to that held tonight are to be held for the same objects in other cities in countries which participate! In the world fair congresses and par. tla.1 arrangements have been made for holding In Chicago in the near future world's congress extension, meetings in the departments of science, literature and religion. Answer to correspondent: Xo, the laws of Kansas do not provide for the damages against a railroad for failure to supply statesmen with auuual Iasscs.

Cleveland and Carlisle have the opportunity of their lives, to do some good, by doing In 1SU5 Just as differently from what they did In as possible. The Democrats not only succeed In destroying American Industries but are causing our farm products to shut out from all the best foreign markets. It Is now announced that Stevenson, the novelist died from the x-cessive use of tobacco. Tills refutes tbe story that ho died from smoking cigarettes. The Santa I'e has concluded to rape no more Judges or other honorable gentlemen by holding them up and making them tike passes or suffer the consequences.

Kansas Is not living up to ber reputation in allowing her unfortunate neighbor Nebraska to have her sufferers relieved and Kansas take no hand iu the matter. Secretary Morton has nearly completed the work of destroying all the good that Secretary Husk did In the way of getting American products Introduced into Euroe. Currency plans Lave not stopped for the holidays, and so many have leen offered that it Is dangerous to make suggestions for fear of lx-iiig accused of plagiarism.

The members of the Coronado club dlvl themselves proud yesterday In the entertainment of their friends. It was not only the event of New Year's day but it Is not probable that It will be exceeded during the entire year just opened. From noon till midnight the festivities lasted, but course the great event was that of the evening reception when the beauty and chivalry of Wichita gathered In the palatial cluT rooms to receive the hospitality of the club. From the exterior the new Coronado club building reflected the cheer within and every ray of light that twinkled through the windows In grand illumination was In itself a message of welcome to the guests. At the entrance stood four of the club members, gentlemen that Coronado himnelf might envy for their chivalry, who received the visitors with a hospitable greeting that made them feel at home at once.

The visitors were next introduced to the florist who presented each with a beautiful bouquet. Knightly ushers escorted the ladies to one of the upper rooms dispose of their wraps while the gentlemen were similarly disposed of. In the club house library each guest was registered. "Isn't it perfectly lovely" was the exclamation cf every one who saw the beautiful rooms of the club for the first time. And it was lovely with brilliant lights, costly paintings and delicious flowers wherever the eye turned.

The charming holly was woven and Interwoven everywhere and not a nook escaped being adorned with a sprig of it. The second Btory was similarly decorated as were also the halls and stairways. In the parlor Shaw's full orchestra discoursed charming music and beautiful as this was It was not near so sweet as the vocal music rendered by the mixed quartet consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smyth.

Mr. Bion B. Hull and Miss Grace Hatton. In addition Miss Beatrice Atkins delighted the guests with some delicious selections on the violin. Enchanting as the parlor entertainment was it found a formidable rival in the dinning room where New Year's good cheer prevailed In unlimited abundance.

Cake, coffee, sandwiches, salads. Ices and olives were dispensed, and a Jollier punch bowl was never seen in the baronial halls of old than that over which Thomas, the steward, presided. In the upper story in which is located the billiard hall young ladies enjoyed themselves pursuing, with an uncertain cue, the nimble Ivories and great was the merriment of those who watched the vain efforts of the fair ladies to pocket a ball. This also furnished a retreat for the knightly youth to pour a tale of love Into the ear of his lady love. Late In the evening the younjr people resionded to the music of th orchestra and danced a few hours of the infant year away lightly and rr.erri- i I it was an occasion that will llncer K-ng and pleasantly In tle memories of the aruests and doubtless will be cherish I ed by many as one of the most Joyful events or their lives.

The club can lie congratulated for Its success and 1. lor fenume no5 "i Especial thanks are due to Mr. Edward I Vail and his entertainment committee as well ulso as to the reception committee which, in reality, composed the entire membership.

Senator Lexow was Just as honest and tireless in his work. These facts Parkhurst does cot Ills case against Lexow and Go2f ls that they blundered In accepting aid from Byrnes. Byrnes was. In the eyes of Tarkhurst, the chief corruptloalst. and the denouement which allows the superintendent to retire in a halo of glory Ls wormwood to tbe fiery preacher.

It Is a large question as to whether Dr. Parkhurht's indignation ii just or not. If Byrnes is oorupt and has been corrupt for thirty years, it was not rijjht in the Lexow committee to grant hliu exeinptlou by failure to cross- question him severely enough. But If Byrnes' statement that he has known of corruption In tho police system and has tried to combat it is taken for the truth then Parkhurst has erred. But whether Parkhurst in this, his latest show of temier and choler, is right or wrong, the opinion of the public will be made In one mould.

It will be generally believed that Parkhurst is a prey to some very mean. despicable emotions. As Senator Lesow charges, the public will believe that he Is Jealous because all the houor of the Investigation does not fall to him. The public will believe this because it Is plain that Parkhurst by his attack has hurt and crippled the cause for which he ruts made the greatest pretensions. When the Investigators get into a wrangle, a great load Is going to be lifted off the minds of the corrupt officials who were to be Investigated and punished.

With Parkhurst and the Lexow committee at swords' point, the thieving iolicenven and highwaymen lu public olliee in New York City will nestle in their security and con tiuue their depredations with iiupun ity.

The good people of Oklahoma have had enouch of the Da Hons, the Cooks, et.

Arkansas and Texas should be rendered ho pronounced as to constrain the general government into wiping out a state affairs that have lecoiue a shame and scandal. The people of Oklahoma are In more danger and as defenseless as though they lived on the borders of a hostile and liarbarous nation. They are tied helplessly to a nation within a nation and that nation practically without government, or at lest such a government as winks at the acquisition of pnierty by cut-throat bands at the muzzle of a gun. The outlaws are the real rulers, tbe holding np of trains a pastime and murder a daily occur ence.

all dominated by an organize! guild of white men, which organization includes the red-banded ltands who make murder and robbery a profession. I'nder the existing state of af fairs pursuit capture and punishment are well nigh Impossible. So secure are these devils In their desperate work that an air of romance Is thrown about their infernal and worthless lives. They are in no sense heroes, but vile horse-thieves, looters and vandals of the most depraved character pos slble. Decent ieople in adjoining states and the newspapers, all cognizant of the real facts are tired and disgusted with the prejudiced blindness or other wise unconscious congress, meanwhile thousands of right-minded.

THS GOVERNMENT LMward Atkinson, the famous statistician, advises that the holders of United States legal tender notes force the government Into liquidation by a combined demand for gold. Such a movement Mould burst the treasury just as surely as a continued run on bank clones Its doors. The government Is solvent but not to the extent of paying its obligations all hi gold on Immediate demand.

No bank In tbe world could stand such a run. There Is one way to get rid of the legal tender if It must be got rid of. which we doubt, and that Is by the Issuance of low interest 1-ond for their gradual retirement and cancellation. Thee bonds might serve in turn as the basis for new issues of lank notes. In this way there would le no sudden contraction of the currency.

Besides it is siu-i'le. safe and honest and an honorable way out of the difficulty In which the treasury finds Itself, prin- WHAT SHALLWE WHAT 'eSHALLML tyjj.vMU Entertaining Ceren-onle at Egg lea ton I'oat Headquarter.

Their object was to secure the express money. The train slopped as usual to take water and the negro porter got oft the train to go around to the tank to let the water on. He was stopped, however, by a Winchester In his face and ordered to uncouple the cars. This order was obeyed, and the engineer, who was under guard, was made to run the car up from the train half a The bandits discovered too late that they had made a waterhaul. taking the bap rage car instead of the express car.

They had to grin, take their medicine and go to the woods. The leader told the engineer that he had the laugh on them but would see him again. The work was so quickly done that the passengers did not know what was going on until the would-be robbers had found refuge in the dense forest. The scene of the robbery is more than a mile from any residence, the small station. Buena Vista, being about a mile south.

There Is no better place than this for bandits to ply their calling. A posse has left here In search of the would-be robWrs. The men were masked with red bandanna handkerchiefs. It is supposed that they went out from Camden and It Is een intimated that they live In Camden. A dispatch today from the Cotton Belt officers states that a reward of 5.00 will be paid for the arrest anJ conviction of each of the parties and the governor is expected to offer a reward.
