THE BE U0 Of J- 10 cents a voek That puts it easily at the front in popular accumulated labor of years has brought it the 6tate treasurer or the commanaery to be us-ed in entertaining at the great conclave at Boston. Only four Knights from this city attended this year. County Clerk Carvin is in rebellion against Attorney General Dawes, a crime that will put him in the outlaw class. It nakes no difference that Dawes knows law. The fact that he unlocked his mouth and issued an order is sufficient.

The bicycle of John Cross was taken yesterday afternoon from the court uouae and no trace was found of the vehicle today. Several bicycles have been taken from parties in this city, but it is seldom they are ever heard from agile. Chairman Wilson says that by the Crawford county eystem the candidate of ihe party is bound to be a minority can didate when there are more than two candidates. Hence the nominee of yes terday will not be the choice of the party. There was excitement on East Doug las this morning when a number of amateur rat catchers, armed with umbrellas, canes and sticks, aided a dozen dogs in disposing ot a job lot of trapped rats.

Business in that vlclnry wa9 temporarily suspended. Three men whose names could not te ascertained terrorized pedestrians on Eleventh and Main and vicinity last night. They were in a buggy, were howling drunk, and adding the firing of a gun to reckless driving, drove people from the streets. Toe ladies of the gree of Honor will hold a lawn social at Hyde park tomorrow eveniDg. Mrs.

Lease will de liver a non partibau address, and excel lent music will be in attendande. All are invited to attend as no admission will be charged. Cbauncey Humphrey leaves tomorrow morning for West Point where he will finish his course and graduate in two years. His furlough expires September 1st. He receives 145 per month at the present time and will be advanced to $1,400 next year.

Disreputable characters of both sexes and all colors nightly assemble at the Salvation Army tent, where they mix freely with the respectable people who go there. Wichita is fast assuming some of. the more reprehensible practices observed in Topeka. Charles Bruce Dixon of this city was married Wednesday to Miss 'Maggie Coral Fanning of Kansas City, Mo at the latter city. Mr.

Dickson is a son of A.C.Dickson while the bride will be remembered as one of the graduates of the city Normal school last spring. Walter E. Wilcox and Miss Emma Earlougher were married at Arkansas City, Wednesday. Mr. Wilcox was con necied with the Wichita National bank of this city.

They passed through the city yesterday enroute to Colorado where they will spend their honeymoon The mayor of Arkansas City came up yesterday. As be walked the stree's of this city there was a puzzled look on his face, caused by the absence of the sa loons so familiar ia his own city. He was not up in the joint and club house racket, but he caught on berore night. Three professional corner squatters on Douglas avenue have formulated platforms for the three political parties, to be adopted next year. They have solved the financial and labor problems.

One of them, a republican, solicits wash ing for his wife, promising good work. The lawn social to be hell at Dr. Fabrique's residence, corner of Central and Lawrence, this evening, will be the last one of the season given by the Unitarian society. The young ladles will serve refreshments, and, with fine during the evening, an enjoyable time for all is anticipated. The Rev.

John F. von Hrrlich, after a two weeks' stay in Cleveland, and a visit to Manhattan beach and the Le high mountains, is at the Bancroft house. New York City. Mr. von Herr- li will return to Wichita Friday, Aug 2i, and occupy the pulpit ot St.

John's church on Sunday, September 1. The Citizens' club case will come up for trial before Judge II at ton tomorrow and bids fair to be long drawn ont. The defendants propose to make a stubborn, persistent fight for their rights nnder the law, while the state will use all the power at its command to punish those who have not observed the forms of law. John Munn, living northeast of Wich ita, reports that he has an appie tree In bloom from which he gathered a crop of Early June apples. He thinks he will have another crop this year.

Last year was a remarkable year for fruit trees blooming a second time, but the trees did not begin to bloom until in September. A wheelmen's run has been called for next Monday morning at 5:30. This will be the first morning run of the season and the Wheelmen's club hopes it will be a sneezes. Ladies are urged join the procession. Another run will take place next Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock.

Both runs start rrom tne citv building. Flaming posters announcing the coming state fair are being put up all over the city and county by the energetic agents of the fair soclation. They are very artistic and brace many attractive designs. The announcement of W. H.

Harvey's address is conspicuously displayed, and will undoubtedly attract universal attention. J. G. Bradshaw. of Conway Springs, father-in-law of Mrs Homer Bradshaw, who was so basely deserted by her husband last week, has offered her a home.

He does not excuse or condone bis eon's offenses, but in a letter showing the condition of his mind offers all the reparation possible for the wrong done an innocent, confiding woman. The state board of health might get in its firt useful work by investigating the epidemic of lapsed memories which has befallen the witnesses in Wichita courts It is hopeless to invite its attention to the incurable case ot swell bead from which Topeka is suffering.

Good music wi'l Intersperse the rendition of the numbers.

The entertainment will be giten for the benefit and under the auspices of the West Side Christian En deavor society. John O'Meally, road overseer of the district south of the city, has had tbe sand in the road bed covered with clJ hay and by his efforts the roads instead of being the heaviest in the county are among the best. He recommends tbe plan to all road overseers who have sandy spots in the road that if they will use a portion of the old hay going to waste they can do a great thing for the traveling public. The expense is nothing and the work very light while the benefit to the traveling public Is great This is especially true at this time of the year when a large amount of grain is being delivered on the market. Frank J.

Oliver, one of the leading farmers, fruit growers and stock raisers of Waco township, brought to the Bka con cttlie this morning a sample of his watermf Ions, of which ne had just fin ished loading a car for Charles Weil of the Polk Commission company. The melon weighed 50 pounds, and while not the largest of tbe load, was found to be delicious, and was greatly appreciated by the Beacon force, especially duricg the present drouth. Mr. Oliver will ship some 10 or 12 tons of grapes this year. His farm is five miles south ot tbe city, and is one of the most productive in the county.

He finds farming profitable, and seldom comes to the city without something to pell. J. W. O'Neil, superintendent of the electric railroad company, will leave Wichita this evening for New where he will make his home in the future. Mr.

O'Neill will engage in the newspaper business. That Mr O'Neill will leave Wichita 19 the regret of all. but the earnest wlsn of all will accompany the gentleman wherever he goes. His six years intercoms with the business men of Wichita and the traveling public have won for him the esteem of all. He will walk through the streets of New Haven aided bv a fine gold headed cane, which will call to his mind the esteem in which be was held by the employer of the company of which he was manager.

Fred Sweet will become manager. M. A. Carvin in speaking of the Uni versity levy and the dispute arising be tween himself and the attorney general makes the following explanation in "The law requires the county clerk to determine the rate per cent necessary to raise the amount of state tax as determined by the state board of equalization and place the same on the tax rolls. But as the legislature has fixed the rate for all other purposes ex cept the university fund and the state auditor has certified the rate for all other purposes, he says he finds no authority for fixing a levy or rate per cent for only a portion of the state tax that if they had not fixed the rate for any fund but had certified tbe amounts to be raised.

It would then have been his duty to have fixed the rate and he would have done so. The laws of 1895 purport to amend the law of 1889, but does not give any authority for raising the amount appropriated." Good cooks use Oxford Floar. A TARGET RANGE Co. Kansas National Guard, Secures one East of Fairmount. The members of Company Kansas National Guard, have secured a target range about half a mile east of Fair- mount, and are shooting twice a week at a range of from 200 to 1,0.00 yards.

The boys have grown quite enthusiastic over the work, and several of the company have already qualified as marksmen at these distances. When it is remembered that 1,000 yards means three-fifths of a mile, the distance will be better appreciated. Sargent William Owens has thus far made the best ecore. Lieutenant H. W.

Koeneke and Corporal John Davis are close seconds. Other members show remarkable skill, considering the short time they have been practicing. Tbe boys are shooting holes "in the atmos phere and also in the air," (in the lan guage ot Bill Nye) this aiternoon. Within the past few days so many en listments have taken place that the ranks of the company are about closed up. Only three vacancies rrm tin.

After the return from the state camp, sharp shooters' practice will be opened up at the target range, in addition to the reg ular target drill. Good cooks use Oxford Flour. Tlze Wichita Case. The manner in which Wichita is being treated is an outrage. The courts have decided that the Topeka club has a right to exist, but the assistant attorney general of Sedgwick county has broken up the Wichita club, which has 400 members from among the best citizens of Wichits.

This quarreling over prohibition is disgraceful; it is damaging. Every citizen of Kansas who believes that the prohibitory law is useless and damaging should join a resubmission club, and get rid of the cause ot trouble. Kansas can never prosper eo long as its citizens are compelled to spend half their time in foolish quarreling. And prohibition is noted for making men mad. The county in which Wichita is lo cated has already spent 5185,000 in trying to enforce the law, and the row is worse now than ever before.

Prohibition is not only useless, but expensive. Atchison Globe. Good cooks use Oxford Flour.

In the m'jsntime the respective attorneys interested in the case of State o' Kansas vs. William Schnitzler, John Bursa, Uenry Hchnitzler, Henry Billman, et are making active preparations for tomorrow's battle. Thtrty-six witnesses for the state are being subpoenaed and 05 for the defenee.

Numerous oth-ir witnesses will probably be called. The trial bids fair to be of long duration and very closely contested. FKElttHT KATES. How They Effect Wichita and the Producer. To thk Bkac-in: Permit me at this time to make a few observations on the above subject.

Wichita is still strug-iUd for an "upward start." Will she fct it, and if so, when and how This is a subject very close to the hearts rf all of us who have oar homes and oar all here. Most of us would be willing to vote with any party, of whatever name, if by doing so we could bring life and growth to our city, give the idle employment, and brighten our fnture. How can this be done By the growth and enlargement of our stock yards, and packing house industry; and the establishment of a grain center, by building elevators and tilling them with grain. True, wholesale and jobbing houees have much to do with the growth of a city situated as Wichita Is, out they are not primarily dependent on the same causes and conditions for success. My proposition is: that without the growth and prosperity of the packing, stock, and grain storing industries Wichita will cease to grow; and that we can be saved from this catastrophe alone by proper railroad rates in and out of Wichita.

Ho, that as I see it, there is but one way out. l'rocure the establishment of such railroad rates into Wichita, from all points in Kansas, as will justify the cattle and hog raiser and buyer, and the corn raiser and buyer to ship his farm products to Wichita instead of through it, and immediately the whole situation is changed. Now it is worse than useless to shut our eyes to present conditions. Go to any town 40 miles or beyond, from Wichita, even south, or west from Wichita, and you will find one or more men engaged in buying and shipping stock. Ihtre is scarcely a railroad station in Southern Kansas that has not at least one man so engaged.

Towns from 1,000 to 3,000 ship an average of from three to six cars of hogs per week and the smaller stations in like proportion. Ask any of these buy ers where they are shipping their stock and substantially the following conver sation will occur: "To Kansas City." "Why don't you ship to Wichita, we have good packing houses and stock yards there." "Oh, I can do better shipping to Kan sas r.ity." "How is that The general haul is voiy much s-h-jrtor to Wichita and the shrinkage much less "Yes, but the difference in price ex ceeds the difference in freight bJtween the two In fact, there is very little difference in the rate on a car ol bogs between Wichita and Kansas City, and I find I can do bstter shipping through Wichita to Kansas City." Result; seven-tenths of all the nogs and nine-tenths of all the cattle shipped out of territory within 100 miles of Wichita go to Kansas City. The same is true even in a larger degree with wheat, corn and oats. True we have no elevators to receive this grain. But would not capital peek investment in elevators in Wichita as in other railroad centers, when the grata is wl'hln short reach, if the owners of such capital had a guarantee against unfavorable railroad rates? Now if the foregoing is a true presentation of the situation, what is the remed It will not do to say, our Wichita packers should pay better prices an i thcrebv draw the trade.

How can they wuen tney are obliged to contend agains menu same unjust rates in sbippiua their dressed meats. To say what Wi packers and grain buyers can and ought pay as muca as Kansas t'lty, is folly There i but one remedy. There is but one that will make Wichita a pros-persus and growing city. That Is such rail road rates in and out, from all points in Kansas as will compel shippers and producers, in self interest to ship the products of the farm to Wichita. Kansas is pre-eminently an aaricnUural state.

If Wichita thrives and grow9 it will be because she is ale in a measure at least to buy, store, ship and handle the products of the farm. Without this she will never succeed. She will only be able to do thi9 when the railroads are compelled by law to givo her just and i ijuitable rates. There are other questions that more or less enter into the fnture welfare of Wichita, but let us not allow our atcen-' on to be drawn from this vital question. Let us stand for and plead for a msx'mum freight rate law, or some other law, that will distinctly and directly contiol freight rates in this state.

It is easily susceptible xf proof thst a wise law, fixing the freight rates, now force, wouid be worth to the farmer at least 5 cents per bushel on every bushil of corn raised in Kansas this year. II there are 300,000,000 bushels this would mean 515,000,000 dollars to Kansas Farmers This would not all come off the railroads. Only a small percent of the corn will be shipped, tut if there is a surplus, which has to find a forelgD market, if but 1,000 000 bushels, this would fix the price of all. I say if the people of Wichita would sustain 'life and liberty, let them from now and henceforth stand as one man for freight rates in Kansas Axed by law. I.
