There may be two or three exceptions to this. The Good Governmenters In the city commission have decided not to take any official action in regard to making appointments until V. C. Coleman and George H. Hamilton, commission- i rs, return from business trips in the east.

They expect to be away two weeks. They made sure that the the three remaining commissioners would not make appointments while away. A motion went through the first session of the commission cover-Ins this point. Among the problems regarding appointments the new commission inherited is the slumbering discord in the police department. S.

Zickefoose, the chief, and Thomas F. Daw- the assistant, have been working tinder an armistice which is running ut. Chief Zickefoose has announced that he would retire from public office this spring. The announcement was repeated two or three; times. But lately it is said the chief has an In The Home Furnishing Company A Washer to The One Minute Washer is a complete l.tuitdry in If.

Assistant Chief 'Dawkins is reported to have stated that he would not remain in office very long after the new commission took charge, unless a change in the police administration took place. Retention of Manager I. W. Clapp is temporary. The manager says he 4 is determined to retire by June 1, as he is planning to be out of the city.

There is a possibility that the new administration will not have to act regarding the police matter while Manager Clapp retains his office. It is reported that F. W. Huxtable, milk inspector, is facing a battle to hold his position, as a fight Is being waged upon him by some club women, who say Mr. Huxtable has not kept the milk supply clean.

Another offi- cial, said to be under fire, is the assistant manager. Some of the commis-, eioners are said to be of the opinion that the city could get along without an assistant to the manager. It is reported that Dave Iester, city clerk, is fairly sure of retaining his position. Use it while you pay for it. Phone Mkt.

The men started away, but one of them evidently had a "hunch," for he came back and asked, "Are these ring side tickets?" Tom Law was also at the Dockum store selling tickets for the wrestling match last night, and it was this event the men wanted to see. "All's well that ends well," And everybody concerned was glad a calamity was averted.

THIS ITEM APPEARJED IN THE K.

C. Journal of September 20. 1901: "Ted and Will McDonald are twin brothers of Wichita, who look exactly alike. Beth of them are bald, and their bald heads look so much alike that you cannot tell them apart. In church at Wichita the other-day a woman sitting behind them got to laughing because the -two bald heads showed the same round moon of flesh without the difference of a hair.

Her laughing attracted the attention of the twins and they looked around to see what the matter was, and when the woman caught sight of those identical faces she simply threw a fit." Will McDonald now lives in Pocattelo, Idaho. THE PLUMBERS ARE PEEVED. They declared a half holiday Wednesday afternoon so they could attend 2NEIGHBoSoS IN QUARREL OVER A STREET BRIDGE Wordy Battle is on Regarding Ownership of Structure Across Third CITY. OFFICIALS BUSY A battle royal that is, a word battle is on between two neighborhoods on the east side. The conflict is between citizens living in the vicinity of Madison and Third and those about Ash and Third.

The bone of contention is a bridge on wheels that is used over the Third street "canal," during times of high water. The recent freshet supplied new impetus to the fire of wrath that has been smouldering since the last freshet. When the city decided to pave Third, several years ago, the question of drainage arose. As every citizen of a decade of residence here knws, it finally was decided to construct the pavement with a concave surface, thus providing drainage for the hill, a.9 well as a firm roadway. Then, with the first rain, came the problem of navigation.

First an overhead bridge was constructed at the Lowell school. Then there was a clamor for a foot bridge, and finally, on promise of citizens to take care of it, a structure on wheels was made, short enough that when centered in the street, was room for vehicles to pass on either side. But after a few years, those who had agreed to remove it from the street after rains, grew careless. City authorities removed it to municipal storage quarters. But when another freshet appeared, all sorts of promises were made if the bridge would be returned.

This was agreed to. and it was taken to Third and Madison. Hereupon, citizens in the neighborhood of Third and Ash arose in their might and claimed the structure. 1 PossessioQwas refused by the original preemptors jind then the fight began. For three days, Fred Sefton, assistant city manager, and James Murry, director of public service have been "pouring oil on telephones," to employ Mr.

Murry's expression, so hot have the wires been with kicks from the contending parties. FINDSAWSINJAIL Tools Secreted in Mirror in Cell of T. C. Cummings, Jailer Finds Two hack saws were found secreted In the frame of a mirror in the cell occupied by T. C.

WHEN A LOCAL BANK CASHIER was asked by a friend Thursday if he Intended going to the ball game, the answer was "No." Inquiry elicited the following reason: "I've got to stay home with an educated plumber.

SMALL SON OF Mr. and Mrs. Charles G.

Mills, is a precocious youngster for his two years and four months. He si eaks plainly and with a.s much common sense as does the average grownup, and few events of interest escape his notice. He repeats many nursery rhymes and comments on matters that often escape his parents. His latest stunt was Thursday, as he intently watched the sunshine come and go with the passing and re-appearance of clouds. Finally he inquired with thesame earnestness that characterizes his sober momentsT "Mother, where does the sunshine go." FRED BECK, STAR FIRST BASE-man of the Wichita ball club, whore-malned in his room Wednesday night, awaiting re-examination by a supposed physician who diagnosed an imaginary illness as small pox, has proven" himself worthy the name "sport," which is implied by his profession.

CHURCH BUILT OF LOCAL MATERIALS BY WICHITA MEN "Home Talent" to be Used Entirely in $150,000 Congregational Building HAVE CHIMES IN TOWER John Dermy, Wichita contractor, secured the contract for the construction of the $150,000 United jCongrega-tional church at the northeast corner of First street and Clifton avenue. In the contract it Is provided that the building will be constructed of Wichita materials by Wichita ien. This action was taken by the building committee as Wichita money will build the church and it, was decided to use products of Wichita firms in the building. The contract provides for construction work to start in a week.

Date the corner stone will be laid is uncertain. The new building will be dedicated on Easter Sunday, in 1922. It may, however, be completed before that time, as the contract provides tho work shall be pushed from the start. There 'will be no delay due to lack of funds. By the sale of the Plymouth church property at the corner of Lawrence avenue and Second street, the church obtained $30,000.

There was $85,000 pledged to the building fund by members of the church and their friends. This makes $115,000 ready for the work and the final amount is planned to be raised by the time the church is completed. Besides a new pipe oran, there will le a set of chimes placed in the tower. This will be an innovation for Wichita. The interior and exterior of the church will be of Gothic architecture and designed after the famous Rheims cathedral which was detroyed by the Germans during the World war.

The following members of tho church served on the huildinp committee ami as trustees during the completion of the build-hv nrrnnsrcnipnts: Trustees Harry D. Howard, rhairmnn: H. Compton. vice chairman: E. C.

From Monday morning to Thursday evening a period of four days, an even 50 permits for construction of new residences or repair of old ones, were issued from the office of city clerk.

Total amount Involved reaches the surprising figure of a little more than although no single structure is to cost In excess of $7,850. Among the lot are a number of substantial homes, large and small. The greater number are for small cottages, which Indicates, City Clerk Dave Lester believes, that there Is a growing tendency on the parts of those who have been paying high rates for apartment quarters, to seek the only available alternative that" of building their own homes. is said this theory also is reflected in the Increased business that has come recently to building and loan associations. Mr.

Lester thinks Wichita residents are determined to escape the high rental evil by constructing their own places of abode and is confident that the impetus toward building, yet is in its infancy.
