15. Andrew J. Mead, founder of Manhattan, and for many years a Well-known hardware merchant of Cincinnati and New York, is dead at his home in Yonkers. He was 89 years old. Andrew J.

Mead was one of a party of seventy-five people who came West from Cincinnati for the purpose of establishing a town near where Junction City now stands. On April 27, 1855, the colony left Cincinnati, on the steamboat Hartford, bound for central Kansas via the Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri and Kansas rivers. The name Manhattan had been fixed upon for the prospective town, as it was thought that there was room for a town in Kansas which might bear some comparison to New York and there was plenty of room. At St. Louis the company numbered about eighty.

Deeming the steamer an abolition boat, the St. Louis authorities delayed her passage for sonje time. Finally the voyage to Kansas City commenced, under the guidance of a pilot hired for the exorbitant sum of $750. Cholera broke out on the steamer and several deaths occurred. At Kansas City there was another delay because of low water.

At this point, Andrew Mead, John Pip-her and H. Palmer i bought a wagon and equipment- and drove to what is now Junction City, and laid out the town of Manhattan. Meantime heavy rains had raised; the Kansas river, so that the Hartford steamed up from Kansas City as far as the mouth of the Blue river, where it went "aground. It was necessary to unload all the freight and passengers here. The people living in the town of Boston at the junction of the Blue and the Kansas did mot Hike the idea of having a rival town laid out fifteen miles above them, -where Junction City now stands," and where Mead, Pipher and Palmer had laid out -Manhattan.

They propqsed to the settlers from the -Hartford that they change their 1 plans "and. unite with them in making one good town on the Boston site. Pipher, Mead and Palmer were sent for, and it was decided that the location selected at the pres-eut site of Junction City should be abandoned, and Boston and Manhattan consolidated under the name of Manhattan. Half of the Boston town-site was given to the Manhattan people. On the steamer the Manhattan town site people had brought ten houses, all ready to put up.

These houses were located as the nucleus for the town. One of these buildings stands at the north end of Poyntz avenue, and its nine rooms are now occupied by colored people. Another- one of the original ten buildings stands in the rear of A. L. Houghton's livery stable.

The plan was to have the steamer tile Co. Davis 39c 25c 39c 45c 50c, 75c Boys' Shirts and Waists, Men Fine Shirts in nejrlicree or bosom High Class Groceries and Fresh Meats at Popular Prices. Phones, Ind. 703 and 1005 Bell 703. 828 Kansas Avenue.

While the plans have not been absolutely decided upon, it is looked upon as practically settled what kind of a hospital will be built. The object throughout is to put up a comfortable, sanitary house that will give ample space, without involving an expense greater than the city can bear.

As contemplated the building will be of two stories, the lower one a' half-basement. As it will stand on a side hill, near the present pest house, there will be no difficulty in putting in a basement that will be high and roomy without using a great amount of material in the walls. This first story will- be of stone. Stone can be secured in considerable quantities from the old quarries on the land owned by the city around the old pest house, and it is thought that all the stone necesary can be got in this way. In the basement will be located the attendents' apartments, the furnace and coal rooms and the kitchen.

The second story will be a frame structure, and will be used as the hospital proper. According to the plan now being considered, it will be divided by cross halls into four wards, in which the different contagious diseases can be kept separate from each other. In this way, all the small-pox patients can be kept in one ward, the diphtheria patients, in another, and the other diseases can be treated in the same way. The wards can be divided into separate apartments by screens or light partitions. In the plumbing and furnishing of the hospital, the same scheme of segregation will be carried out.

There will be a separate bath room and closet for clothing and bed clothing connected with each ward. The food and supplies intended for one ward will not have to pass through any other. Each ward will open directly into the main corridor, from which there will be direct connection, by both stairs and dumb-waiter, with the basement. The ground slopes in such a way that the patients can be brought over the hill directly to the entrance to the hospital floor, and will not have to be taken through the basement or carried up stairs. In this way patients can be brought to the hospital with a mimimum of pain and danger.

Just outside the building on the hill, will be the opening to the coal chutd leading to the basement. Coal intended for the furnace can be dumped into' the chute, and will go directly to the coal room in the lower story. The cess pool into which the drains from the building will empty can be at some distance down the hill. No estimate has been made as to the cost of the hospital. It is not thought that it will be very expensive.

"The cost of the building will not be great," Sanitary Sergeant R. P. Pay said, today, "and it will be made up for in a short time by the saving in expense. The way things are now, we have to post guards at all places where there are cases of contagious disease. This is very expensive, but it simply cannot be dispensed with until we have a detention hospital.

When we can send our patients to the hospital, the necessity for these guards will be done away with, and the sav-ing to the city will be very considerable. "We need this hospital very badly," Mr. Pay continued. "Here he have plenty of hospital facilities for everything except contagious diseases. There are ample accommodations for all other classes of patients.

But when a person is taken with a contagious disease, there is nothing to do except to keep him guarded, together with his family; in his own house, or which she has achieved remarkable success this season. This clever little Western girl has yet to encounter her first failure. baloney's Wedding comes with McCab and Mack, a bright farc comedy replet with an excellent vein of American humor and Irish wit. Equipped, with all the accessories of a first class organization the Richards Pringle's famous Georgia minstrels have "caught on" in the most emphatic fashion. Although twenty-eight years have elapsed since this company was first organized, nothing which they have offered has given such satisfaction as the pro-' gram they present this season.

Added interest is given to the coming of In Old Kentucky to the Crawford this week by reason of the appearance in a leading part of May Anderson, the daughter of Major T. J. Anderson, secretary of the Topeka Commercial club. Miss Anderson will have ihc role of "Alethea Layson," who is to the "Colonel" the "sweetest gkl in old Kentucky." It is an old maid part from which much comedy can be extracted. This Topeka player has taken up character work as ner stage portion and she is meeting with great success.

Reports from cities la which Miss Anderson has been seen as "Alethea Layson" say the part has nevci been better played. This is distinction, for in its eleven seasons In Old Kentucky has called for the services of some of the foremost players. From a business point of view an engagement with In Old Kentucky is good fortune, for the play is one of the most substantial of the institutions of the stags.

It started down the river on its first trip and stopped at St. Marys' mission. While lying there against the bank it caught fire from a prairie fire which swept down upon it and was entirely destroyed.

It is supposed the fixe was set by a couple of Indians, who were mad because, the mate drove them off the boat. The Manhattan company recovered $3,500 insurance and sold the boilers for $300. The bell from the steamer was taken to Manhattan and hung in the Methodist church, where it was up fo a recent time still doing service. Mr. Mead lived in Manhattan for a number of years after the town had been established.
