The club can only lease their present quarters from year to year, and this lease may be taken away at any time and the club would be left without a home. The Wichita Country club is too large an organization to be left in such a position, and the members desire to relieve this unsettled feeling by getting a club house and grounds of their own.

At the present time there are 150 members of the organization. The organization is about two years old and every znember is as enthusiastic now as the day it was organized. The club house is small, and whenever the members wish to give an entertainment or social it must be given on the lawn during the STtmmer months, and during the winter the club house is practically closed to all social gatherings, owing to the small rooms. The proposition was first discussed at the meeting of the board of governors last week and has since been talked over with many members. Every one is enthusiastic about the building, and many have beon out around the city looking ior suitable locations.

It would require a. field of at least sixty acres, and most of the -members want eighty acres. It must, of course, be near the car line, and at present two pieces have been lound that would make good places for the club. On these a club house of the most modern plans would be erected and one largo enough to accommodate the present members and many more, for the organization is rapidly growing. The question that is Interesting the members is how this ground could be paid for.

and also the It has been suggested that the members subscribe to the fund, but some of the best financiers of the city are members, and they have advised that the club be incorporated and bonds could then be issued, and there would be no trouble in Belling the bonds to the members. The ciub Is now in a nourishing condition, it ther is not enough cash in the treasury to pay for grounds and a house, as ihf cost would be X5.000 or $6,000. President T- H. Griffith and Rev. J.

D. Bitchey, two of the most active members of tho club, have been planning for the grounds for several days, and they have discussed with thf members the proposition to buy the land and build the house. In fact, every member has shown a great deal of interest and has offered suggestions and plans, and it is expected that at th next governors meeting there will bp more discussion of the matter and definite action taken by the appointment fif a committee to look up a site and get plans for financiering the project.

BENEFIT TO PASTURES Rain Has Put Soil in Condition for Seeding, The extreme heat of the past few days culminated last night in a heavy rain, which was general over this section of the state. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon clouds began to gather in the northwest and a thunderstorm formed. The clouds spread rapidly, and by 7 o'clock the sky was overcast. About 6 o'clock a high wind be'gan to blow, and at 7:30 tho rain began to fall. For an hour the water came down in torrents and the wind blew a gale.

During this time there was a brilliant electrical storm. After o'clock the rain slackened and the wind went down, but the water continued to fall until nearly midnight. The rain last night was a great blessing to the people of this community. It cooled off the over-heated atmosp'icre, and the citizens of Wichita were able to enjoy a refreshing rest last night for the first time in several days. The rain has put the soil in excellent condition for fall plowing and sowing.

It has also greatly benefitted the pac-tures, which were beginning to suffer from the extreme heat. The rain was caused by the fact that the hot air of the past few days, which contained a great deal of moisture, was rising to the cooler upper regions, where the moisture was condensed. The storm began anew after midnight and at 3 o'clock a severe electrical storm was in progress. After one flash of lightning, followed by two sharp peals of thunder, the City building appeared to be lighted up, but so far as known the building was not struck.

CHILDREN WERE HAPPY Associated Charities Sewing Class Went to a Picnic. Twenty-six little girls and five small boys had the time of their lives yesterday, owing to the kindness of the Kings' Daughters. The little girts were members of the Associated Charities sewing class, and none of them enjoy the luxuries of life. But at the picnic given to them in Linwood park yesterday they wre happier than the society people at Newport. Some of the children had never been at a picnic before, and after it was all over they thought they had passed through a wonderful experience.

Mrs. Crouch, secretary of the Associated Charities, had notified the children to be at the court house at o'clock, but some of them were on har.l as early as o'clock. At 9.30 o'clock they were all loaded onto a hay wagon and started to the park. Two boys were In the crowd at that time, and on the road they picked up three more. Arrived at the park, the children played "drop the handkerchief" and At her childish sports until dinner time.

Then they were all seated on the grass and for nearly an hour were tn glory. They had al! tho good things to eat they could swallow, something that Is unusual for some of them, and after th- regular dinner was over they were served with hr? cream, cake, lemonade and watermelon. One pleasant feature about th dinner was that the seven Kings Daughters who accompanied the children brmirht all the refreshment and served them. About o'clock the children again climbed onto the hay wagon and returned to their homes, weary with the pleasures of the happiest day In their live.

Arthur H. DIckmeyer, of Orleans, at the home of Rev. C. L. Morse, of New Orleans, who performed the ceremony.

Of the wedding, the Daily Town Talk of Alexandria, says "Miss Gertrude had the reputation of being one of the brightest pupils of the eighth grade of the Alexandria High School. She went to New Orleans a few days ago on a visit and met Mr. DIckmeyer, a former acquaintance and friend, and made a school girl marriage, without the knowledge of her guardian. We wish the couple much happiness and prosperity." THEY HAD TO WAIT Probate Judge Was Not on Hand to Perform Ceremony. "Can we be married now, or can wo not?" was the question that was uppermost in the minds of George N.

Linn of Hobart, O. aged 28, and Miss Maud E. Ford of Argonia, aged 22, as i-ey sat in the private office of Probat Judge Wilson. They had secured a license from E. E.

Enoch, deputy to the judge, but the judge was nowhere to be found. After waiting for him about thirty minutes he arrived, and united the couple in matrimony. Judge Wilson yesterday married John D. O'Brien of Wichita, aged 51, and Mary Pierce of Batavia, 111, aged 41. The license was secured by the groom several days ago, but he had to wait until his be-throthed came from Illinois before he could wed.

UNDER THE RAY Examination Made of Beckemeyer's Fractures at St. Francis'. Otto Beckcmeyer, of Guthjle, was In the city yesterday, having come up on the invitation of Dr. Bowers to have an ray examination made of his left lef, which was fractured at the knee and ankle in this city at the time Paderwskl was here. He was at St.

Francis hospital for six or seven weeks, and then went home to Guthrie. Dr. Bowers, who set the limb, has been anxious about its progress, and wanted to know that was growing together all right. The ray examination yesterday gratified him very much. The bones are growing finely and in perfect alignment, and while Mr.

Beckemeyer still has to use crutches, he has perfect control of the limb and its movements. There was great welcome for him at the hospital when he reached there yesterday, all the Sisters coming to him to express their gratitication at the splendid progress he is making towards complete recovery. The great ray at the hospital worked like a charm, and after tho examination was over Dr. Bowers gave Mr. Beckemeyer and a reporter for thy Eagle an exemplification of its wonderful powers, going so far as making It throw out forked lightning, such as the clouds emit for their edification.

MUSIC AND DRAMA. THE PENITENT "It is difficult to speak, in the ordinary language of criticism, in writing of such plnys as W. E. Nankcville's production of Hall Calne's powerful story "The Penitent." When a drama at the very outset storms the fortress of the heart and leaves the weak bulwark and defenses of the intellect to fall under the sureness, deftness, and concentration of the attack without as much as 'by your leave." the critic's occupation becomes st once easy and difficult. Easy to speak of praise and difficult to give thoso words a judicial sound such as becomes a conservative estimate.

"The Penitent" la a story of the passions, nothing, more. But such a story, intermingled with duty, with love, with hatred, with revenge, with patience towards a misguided youth, and sacrifices to accomplish happiness these and nothing more are Its motives. To see how well Hall Calne preserves his reputation for originality one needs only to witness the presentation of his latest master-work, and the conclusion is reached that in "The Penitent" he has scored as successfully as he did In "The Christian." Such were the words of an eminent critic used in speaking of this play. No need to go further into detail. Su'fice it that its presentation Is announced for the opening of the season at the Crawford Tuesday, August 26.

and that the same great cast and the same scenic equipment that aided in making Its success in Boston so triumphant will be seen here. No new play of this season's staging comes more highly recommended. LIGHTNING STRUCK HOSPITAL Bolt Set Fire to Packages on First Floor, but Damage Was Slight. At 8:9 last night and during the hardest part of the storm which swept over the city, the south tower of the old part of the Sc Fraacfct hospital was struck by lightning.

STORY OF ADVANCEMENT He and Frank Wood Were Business Rivals Once.

J. E. Hurley, general superintendent of the eastern grand division of the Santa Fe, F. T. Kisteen, mechanical superintendent of the same division, and F.

J. Easley, division superintendent of the middle division, arrived in the city last night in Mr. Hurley's private car and will leave this morning for the south, going as far as PurceM. The gentlemen visited the Eagle office last night with L. R.

Delaney and romained an hour or so, giving much interesting Information concerning the polity of the Santa Fe, its remarkable development and the influence which it wields in western commerce. Mr. Hurley said he was somewhat surprised to hear from Mr. Delaney that the Santa Fe had nearly 150 people on its pay toll at this point. He indicated that his road would try to make tho pay-roll larger and hoped that "Wichita would materially help in doing so.

He thought it was within her power. He shows surprising familiarity with the local freight rate situation and has a very clear understanding of the extent of the Santa Fe's business compared with the entlro business of the point. Mr. Hurley has had a wondorful career of advancement with the Santa Fe. When he received his most recent promotion to the general superlntondency of the eastern grand division, embracing the line from Chicago to Furcell, with all its branches, people began to ask what Influence was behind him.

They didn't know the man. The Influence whloh brought him all his promotions, is not behind him; it within him. Like General Superintendent Mudge. he has a big brain for railroading and, besides, his capacity, he has had a wide experience. Like Mudge, he began at the bottom driving spikes on the grade and has worked himself up by a combination of talents and indefatigable energy in the application of his mind to the duties of the various positions he has filled.

He has built his own ladder to high place and every round of it represents hard work and loyalty to Santa Fe interests. After beginning in trackwork and working some time at it, his ambition led him to seek office work and he became a depot agent. From that he went to express agent and worked at El Dorado, Augusta, Wellington, and Arkansas City. He was with the Wclls-Fargo company there when Frank- Wood, of the wholesale grocery house of Jett Wood, was his rival, working for the American Express company. They were both boys at the time and both have risen to high positions since.

They met yesterday for the first time in over twenty years and knew one another at the first glance. Mr. Hurley returned to the regular line of rail-read work, while Mr. Wood went into the mercantile business. One has become general superintendent of a grand division In his line; tho other a wholesaler in his line.

Mr. Hurley Is not yet forty-three years of age. Mr. Risteen and Mr. Easley are both young men who have made big advancement also.

Neither of them has reached middle life and have promise of a bright future. DR. MATTHEWS RETURNS He FirHt Heard I'artirulnrM of Son'i Ocntli nt (Jcnrsco. Dr. Matthews, whose little son was accidentally killed Saturday evening, returned to the city yesterday from Colorado.
