Sandwiches prepared and served in a most delicious manner. Cool and comfortable surroundings. Ilandy to shopping district. physicians, and Dr. S.

S. Noble, dentist, that any Wichita hospital has grappled with in years. A young man by name of Aimstead from Isabell, Pratt county, -was kicked In the face by a horse and the whole upper jaw with seven teeth were torn loose. The unfortunate young man is athletically built, 19 ears old, and had Just completed a successful year at the agriculture college at Manhattan. He came home to his father's farm at Isabell ambitious and full of plans for the summer.

He had a fine blooded pet colt which he prized highly. He walked in behind the young thoroughbred animal and spoke gently to him, and that was the last he ever knew for seven hours. The horse must have reared up and kicked the young man syuarely in the face. The victim was brought to the Wichita hospital where Dr. Horn was summoned.

Dr. Horn round the right side of his face mashed, the eye badly swollen and discolored, the upper jaw crushed and barely hanging, and flesh cuts, upper lip severed and blood clots. The physician sewed up all the skin abrasions and summoned Dr. Noble for the difficult and delicate operation of building up the wrecked upper jaw in a long slow process. All yesterday afternoon, Dr.

Noble was busy taking impressions of the wounds with a composition of paraffine and other soft plastic materials. Then until midnight last night he was at work on the artificial construction to get it in the condition so that this morning or early afternoon the fine operation of attaching this built-up interior to the bony formation still hanging. Then vulcanite splints will be placed to hold the whole built-up mass together for probably three to five weeks, perhaps longer. Even then the young man must wait several weeks longer until all the sutures are solidly grown together when the seven new teeth can be inserted. Dr.

Noble says had there been presence of mind among those who first found the young man prostrate under the horse's feet, and the loose teeth picked up and preserved they could all have been treated and re-inserted. As it is another operation for making a plastic cast of the gums must be made, and new articicial teeth constructed and later' insetted: During all this time' of three weeks or more Mr. Aimstead is waiting the formative growth. of the new face, he can receive only liquid sustenance, that through a tiny hole left between the lips, by means of a silver tube or else a tip of a small spoon slipped between the lips.

Albert Campbell trustee of Eagle township, was in the city Wednesday lookiDg after interests of his township and the city of Bentley, in the mat. ter of' additional train service on the Frisco railway into Wichita. It seems that Bentley has a passenger train leaving Wichita about 3 o'clock p.

m. each day. The passenger train on the Frisco from Bentley and the west arrives in Wichita at 1:30 p. m. each day, and that train is followed by the freight train from the west, this train makes up at Ellsworth and arrives usually at Wichita about 2 o'clock p.

m. This service gives the people of the northwestern part of the county only about an hour to transact business in Wichita, provided they return on the 3 o'clock train. For many months the people of Bentley. Eagle township and the entire northwestern part of the county, have been trying to adjust train service on the Frisco. Heretofore they have been obliged to go to Sedgwick and take the Santa Fe train into Wichita or to Colwich and take the Missouri Pacific train into Wichita.

The matter resulted in a complaint filed before the Board of Railway Commissioners by Mr. Campbell in behalf of his people. The railway commissioners had a hearing on the matter at Bentley on the 9th of this month, Messrs, Bentley ar.d Hatfield appeared as counsel for Eagle township and R. R. Vermilion represented the railway.

After a consultation cf the parties the superintendent of the railway company being present, it was agreed to make a readjustment of the freight train schedule, starting the freight train at an earlier hour out of Ellsworth, arriving at Wichita in the forenoon, which would give the people four or five hours in Wichita in which to transact their business. This arrangement appeared to be mutually agreeable to the people and the railway company, and counsel for the township have received word that the schedule has been adjusted in accordance with the agreement. The people of that locality expect very soon to have sufficient business to require a morning passenger train into Wichita from Ellsworth. The present complaint is of considerable interest to merchants of this city and the business men generally. The Frisco line to the northwest covers a territory from Wichita to Ellsworth 104 miles, all of this territory is naturally tributary to this city.

The train service agreed upon was inaugurated on June 15. The morning freight train now leaves Ellsworth at 3 a. arriving at Wichita at about 10:30 a. m. ALL DEPOTS BUSY Summer Tourists and Harvest Hands Are Making Travel Very Heavy.

Tassenger business on the railways entering Wichita was never better. The factors which make this business unusually heavy are summer tourists and harvest hands. The passenger depots are crowded from radrning until late at i night, while it is almost impossible to find a seat on any train. Incoming and 'outgoing trains are loaded to the guards with harvest hands, who are arriving jin Wichita from all parts of the coun-! try and leaving for the harvest fields. 'Outbound trains are crowded with tourists who are leaving for Colo- rado.

Pacific coast and Northwestern i points. Travel is also heavy to St. Louis. Chicago, Boston, New York and the Great Lake regions. I The five railways handled about 1,600 harvest hands yestercay, Aoout ou purchased tickets over the Frisco railway to Ellsworth, Frederick ar.d Lorraine.

The Missouri Pacific handled about 40 Oto Hutchinson, Geneseo. Nick- erson, Colwich, Mount Hope, Kiowa and Conway Springs. About 1,000 harvest hands traveled lover the Santa Fe to the wheat fields Uear Pratt, Belvidere. Kingman, Che-! ney. Emporia, Newton and Great Bend.

I Extra equipment is being carried or. ali trains to accommodate the travel. The fingers of ticket clerks are sore as a result of handling tickets and money, and their voices are husky from I answering numerous inquiries. The telephones in the ticket offices are I constantly ringing and withal the pas- sengT depots are the busiest places in Wichita. SAYS HUSBAND HAS NOT SPOKEN FOR YEAR Mrs.

Miller Wants Divorce Fronr Department Manager at Dold's. The husband who doesn't speak to his wife is not r-opuiar with Mrs. Fanny Miller of 825 Litchfield avenue. In the district court she filed suit yesterday for divorce against F. X.

Miller, department manager for the Jacob Dold Packing company. Judge Thomas Wilson made temporary orders requiring the husband to pay $10 a week al.rr.or.y, suit money and 53 attorney's fees, also enjoinlr.r him from interfering with Mrs. Miller In her possession and control of the avenue home or visiting or molesting her. In her petition Mrs. Miller allesrrs that her husband has accused her of indiscreet conduct and for a year or more has (for the grreater part of the time) refused to speak to or associate with her or take her to entertainments or permit her to go to amusement places.

Our stock includes a Many Property Owners Are Signing Up to Have Business Streets Grow Like World's Fair. It will be dark on Main street, Douglas avenue and First street, for a few weeks, beginning tomorrow night. The White Way lights and wire are to be removed from these streets so that the Westen Union Telegraph company may dismantle and remove the poles on which these wires are strung. At tha request of E. J.

Sullivan, manager of the Western Union Telegraph company, the city commissioners yesterday issued instructions to the Kan- I sas Gas and Electric company to re move the White Way lights at once. This morning the company will begin the work of removing the lights and wires. The commission also requested the company to charge the property owners a proportionate cost of White Way lights during the month of June and to issue a rebats to the merchants who have paid in full for the charge here during this month. The removal of the poles and wires is a step preparatory to the installation of a new White Way. The conduits have been placed along the streets and workmen are now ready to commence removing the poles.

R. B. Campbell, commissioner of water and lights, and the mayor are expected home this morning from Eastern cities, where they went to study lighting systems. They will bring with them new ideas for a system of orna-menetal poles and a new White Way. In order to secure a new White Way it Is necessary that the property owners petition the city commissioners.

Commissioner Campbell has prepared a blank form of petition and copies have been distributed to the property owners. The work of securing signatures to these petitions is progressing and the petitions will be presented to the ocmmissioners in a short time. It is probable that the White Way on Douglas avenue will extend from the Dougias avenue bridge to Cleveland avenue, with a string of lights extending south from the corner of Water street Douglas avenue to the Forum, north on Water street to First street; east on First street to Market street, forming a loop around Main street. The White Way on Main street may extend from English street to Mur-dock avenue. The task of working out the details and preliminary arrangements for a new ornamental lighting system is gigantic Commissioner Campbell is working hard to secure the best ornamental lighting system for Wichita.

He desires the co-Operation of the property owners on this important proposition. He says that if he is given time and encouragement he will be able to 'work; outa system of White Way lights on ornamental, poles which will not only be pleasing to the people of Wichita but will attract other people to the city. CROWDS OF BOYS WENT SWIMMING Hot Weather Makes Little River Popular for Water Sports. Did your office boy call you up yesterday and say Tie was very sick and couldn't work? It is not advisable to worry about his illness but if you want him real bad take a little hike down to the river. Its ten to one you'll find him down by the Maple street bridge or up by the Riverside club house.

Crowds, flocks, schools and bunches of kids emigrated from the hot streets yesterday to the "holes" in the Big and Little Arkansas. Every block south of Douglas was represented in the sand-boat hole south of the Maple street bridge. A few who started to the club house could not resist from going in as soon as they got to the Murdock street bridge Tut the majority of the nortl-end swimmers use.l the hole In. front of the Riverside club house. The slide-boards and ropes probably caused this hole's popularity as the water is not as deep as in the sand-boat holes.
