That Horse Fair.

Did you, my gentle reader, ever attend q
horse fair-the last day Of horse fair, in the
fall of the year, when the wind was blowing
hurricane, and the dust whirling through
the air like simeon across the Desert OF Sa-
hara? We did last Friday. No one outside
OF the thin crowd gathered around that ring,
will ever know how much we suffered that
you might know what the entertainment was
like. What was meant by ''quarter stretch
on the pools, "single dash Of a halt mile
for the three best in five," "distanced by the
Judges on the fret round" ''eutside bets off
for the first money" magnificent action In
the crupper joint and such like jockey slang
we could never get properly seitlsd in our
noggin until the prepiiious occasion alluded
to. wiping the tears from our dust-stained
cheeks and splitting the mud from our mouth,
we borrowed chew of tobacco and quietly
nsted what all the rumpus was about. The
fellows who wore red ribbons on their coats
stad over ON the side where some other fell
lows in star spangled breeches were feeding
their horses sponges and doing up their hind
legs in yellow rags. The rest OF the crowd
and the dogs stood on the other side OF the
track, bough; tickets at auction and swore at
the policemen Those that were IN the ring
looked wise and talked big. Those that were
not in the ring looked wiser and talked bigger.
The Judges were three fellows in high stand
who counted the times the horses went round
and then hellered down something that made
everybody swear. No man could tell any
thing except these judges, and they couldn't
aither. We noted further that the fastest
horse didn't always get beat, by long shot.
which made more swearin. The Topeka
horsemen appeared to be putting up jobs on
the Emporia horsemep, and the Bu-lingame
horsemsn appeared to be putting up jobs on
the Ottawa horsemen. and the Wichita horse
msn appeared to be putting up jobs en- every
body else, and they appeared TO be getting
beat by everybody else, toe: but every body
appeared to be willing to take drink, every
now and then. In fact, there appeared to be
more unsniInity IN the drinking business than
IN anything else, except the unanimity with
which the crowd cussed the judges.
The fair lasted four days, besides Saturday.
Many Of the finest horses in tho State, as also
the most noted horsemen of Kansas, were
here. The treasurer OF the association informs
us that he paid out nearly 81 900 IN premiums
and expenses. Some OF the races were excit-
ing, much of the record time good. But one
thing seemed to strike US, and that was that
Wichita horsemsn should have owned faster
horses or offered lighter premiums. That
horses which cannot make mile inside OF $40
should carry away hundreds of dollars, may
be overlooked by spirit of generous emula-
ton, but it is terribly weakening on the peck
ct and Illuminating to the Arkansas Valley
breed OF horses.

Our readers will remember the account we
published Of the unfortunate affair in which
Jimmy Manning paid his life as the penalty.
We have received two letters upon the sub
ject, one of which is from HI, foster mother
and explains itself.
NEAR LAWRENCE, October 80, 1875.
Mr.. EDITOR read the hsart-rending ac-
count, copied from your paper, of my cher
ished and loving Jimmy. We took him for
sour own boy" at the age of FIVE. He has
since called me mother although no conssn-
guinity. feel that it would be cruel and un-
just not to have the following facts brought
before the public.
The said Jimmy Manning mentioned in con-
nection with the lamentahly sad occurrence in
Nav Mexico few weeks since received sun
stroke August II, 1873, five miles south OF
Lawrence was fearfully insane several weeks,
his reason not having fully returned on all
points at the time he left for Wichita, although
casual observer would consider him well
and natural. He gave wild and romantic rea-
sons for saying he was several years older
than he really was, fifteen last June. Some
kinds OF excitement produced temporary con-
gestion of the brain, causing marked delirious-
ness. When opposed or abused, IS he imsg-
ined himself to be, be would mako frightful
pretentions of attack, but after short time
recover his equaninity. Could these facts
have been known his life might have been
spared. MRS. X. c. MANNING.

A Terrible ARRAY in Sumner County

From NJ. McCulley, who came up this
morning, we learn something of the .particu.
lars Of a terrible tragedy which occurred al
London, in Sumner county, at tho election
Tuesday. One J. II. Turner, well known
here In Wichita, challenged the vote of Ben.
Hitchcock. Aquarrel ensued between Mr.
Neil and Turner which resulted in shooting.
Turner was killed outright and Neil was shot
twice and the wounds are supposed to be
mortal. The shooting occurred, our inform
ant thinks, after the parties had started for
home.

In MemOriam,

Died. in this city, on friday. October 29th,
1873. Jennie Eliza. wife OF Charles W. Hill, in
the 3ist year of her age.
| Mrs. Hill was married in Marion, Wayne
county, New York. in 1857; removed to Kan
was, with her husband. amongst the earliest
settlers She was noble wife, Kind aud
affectionate mother, and as a true woman, be-
loved and respected by all who knew her. She
was a member of the Presbyterian church, al
so a sister in the Masonic and odd Fellows
orders, being member of the Sisters of Re-
becca and OF the Eastern Star. She leaves a
husband nearly distracted at his sudden and
overwhelming loss, and three sweet little chill

The Odd Fellows and Masons, together with
the Sisters of the two orders, called specIa al
meetings and took charge of the funeral SER
vices, which occurred on Sunday, the entire
membership of each, following the remains to
the Church, wearing appropriate badges of
mourning. At the Church tho ceremonies
were very affecting, Rev. j. P. Harsen leading
the services. Many people and friends were
unable to gain admittarce on account Of the
gre at number present. The procession to the
cemetery WAS very long. MIR. Hill has the
sympathy of the entire community in his
great loss.
The following resolutions of coincidence and
respect were passed at special meeting of
the Odd Fellows on Saturday evening:
Whereas, 1t has pleased God to remove from
her earthly labor, our esteemed sister and
friend Mrs. Jennie Hill ; therefore
ResoIued, That while we bow in submission
10 divine will, we deeply deplorc and regret
the loss Of a valued friend and sister.
Reselred, That while We feel sorrow at our
loss. We realize that the deepest grief saaden
the hearts that were bound to heis by the no.
hest ties OF relationship. and that we extend to
our bersaved brother and family our sincere
sympathy and coincidence.
Resolrsd. That copy OF these resolutions
be sent TO our Borrowing bro ner, and TO tho
Wichita EAGLE and Beacon ~. publication.

Kew. Hunter Corbett, missionary to China.
who is visiting our fellow-townsnan, w. S.
Corbstt, his brother, addressed enc of the lar
gest audiences ever assembled in Wichita, last
Sabbath evening, at Eagle Hall. His subject
was the progress of Christianity among the
Orientals. The vivid pictures which ho drew
OF the horrors OF Buddhism, and the moral
degradation of the ''heathen Chinee- in gem
sral, will not soon be forgotten by the men,
bers OF his audience. Despite the boasted
wisdom, and civilization that dates far back
OF all Christian history, Mr.. Corbett tells us
that the real mental attainments OF the masses
of the Acknowledged sons OF the Sun are but a
little removed from those of the savage. Mr..
Corbett went to China, as missionary ,tw elve
years sso, since which time he has, under the
most discourssing circumstances, been trying
to lead that hoathen people into the way OF
higher and better lie. His present home is at
Chefoo, walled city Of 1900 people His
personal experiences and adventures in the
land Of Confucius, many OF which he detailed.
were not only Interesting but truly exciting
When he and his wife first entered the Empire
just after its difficulty with England and
France-millions of the people had never seen
an "outside barbarian or ''devi,'' as they
persisted in calling him. and for months this
man Of God and his wife were refused house
for shelter. Mr.. Corbstt came back to visit
his old home in Pennsylvania and came on
west to see his brother in this city. He will
not return 10 his labors before next spring or
summer. He is an able, fluent. and persua-
sive talker and the entire audience would have
tie ndered HIM vote of thanks had the oppor-
tunity been given. He will remain in eur
city few days, which will give our citizens
an opportunity to become acquainted with
him and his wife.

sonai presence upon the platform, if matronly
is still lsdy-like and winning. While VS. can

as we infinitely would an exposition of several
