APOSTLE DOOLITTLE,

1t is now positively settled that when Saint
Jack is elected president, Farmer Doolittle
will be rendered the portfolio of state. Doo-
little says he will accept, as he thinks it is a
better job than buying wheat at 45 cents
per bushel.
An EAGLE reporter overheard a very ami
mated conversation between Dick Walker
and Doolittle the next day after Doolittle's
annual message to the people of Kansas,
which able document it will be remembered
appeared in the EAGLE few days ago. Dick
declared that Farmer was away off with
regard to the patron saint Of 0lathe, but
Farmer thought not, and declared with tears
as big as crab apples in those eyes Of his,
that it broke him all up to hear that blessed
saint abused. Farmer had a conversation
with another gentlemen on the same subject,
who asked if he was not afraid of being
hung in effigy. A bystander naiyely re-
marked that there was no danger, because
there was no telegraph pole long enough to
hang Doolittle's effigy on.
Farmer il just now suffering with an ex-
ceedingly virulent attack of prohibition, and
declares positively that he will give back
that key. The key referred to fits in the
back door of saloon.

CHANCE TO SECURE A FACTORY.

Several days ago mention was made of a
Windmill being erected near the iron bridge
on Douglas avenue. This was intended to
test the practical working of what is known
as Jacobs automatic turban wind wheel"
model ofwhich was exhibited and attracted
great deal of attention at the county fair
held last fall near this city. The model re-
ferred to worked perfectly, the automatic at
tachment being so adjusted that it opened
and closed the fans according to the power
of the wind, so that II regular and uniform
speed was maintained regardless of gales or
calms A number of our citizens interested
themselves in the enterprise and announced
that should the machine work as well as the
model they would entertain the idea of form
ing company and engaging in their manu-
facture in this city. The full sized mill is now
completed, and appears to work perfectly,
as can be seen by going to the river bridge,
and as factories are very much desired and
needed here to make our city what all de-
sire to see 1.-THE largest and best in the
state, it is to be hoped that this affair will
be thoroughly investigated and that the
shops for their manufacture may be estab-
lished at the supply center of the southwest.
One of these mills is to be erected at once on
the Jewett stock farm, where it will be pit
ted against mills of other kinds, and where
the relative merits of the Automatic" will
be fully determined.
The Campbell Bros. ara the agents for the
southern half of this state, and can be seen
at the mill or the Valley house.

BRAN NEW FRESHMAN.

Hank Heiserman has skilfully managed to
conceal his nationality for a long time, but
an old countryman of his got onto him yes
terday. The son of Erin met Hank face to
face on the street yesterday and said: "Say,
what made you go back on your people!"
Hank asked him what he meant, when he
again asked why he voted against all the rest
Of his countrymen. Hank denied the charge.
The Knight of st. Patrick then said ::
..Ain't you the fellow that writes for the
Agle-ain't your name Grattan!" Hank
didn't think it was, but it was no use, the
old man was onto him. Now, Hank, it is no
use for you to try to deceive your country
men any longer, you are spotted and may as
well own up. Another thing it will be well
Tor you to remember: An Irishman in this
city has nc right to any degree of independ-
ev ce in the matter of exercising the fran
chise; if he fails to march up to the polls
and shove in a straight Democratic ticket he
is branded as a traitor. The Irish in other
parts Of the country have a right to vote as
they please, under protest, of course-but in
they will stand no such foolishness.

CUPlDS CAPERS.

There was futter of excitement in our
social circles short time since upon the
announcement of the intended marriage of
one of our reigning bellies to young gen.
tleman who holds . prominent position in
the artistic profession in our city, but "the
course or true love never did run smooth"
and at the eleventh hour, when oil should
have gone as merrily as the wedding bells,
a cloud doomed up on the horizon of their
heretofore 'blissful existence. The
irate pater-famillias of the young lady
peremptorially ordered all the pre-
perations for the festivities tn be
discontinued and the loving twain in flu
ture ''to meet a. strangers" and rs n
preventive against having march stolen
upon him he spirited the would-be-bride 10
parts unknown, but as lovers laugh at lock-
smiths and such, the indomitable "Romeo,"
after vigilant search and inquiry, purchased
a railway ticket for Fredonia, where he
found the loving "Juliet," and without delay
the silken knot was tied.

CHARITY BALL.

A charity ball will be given by the MEM
bers Of the G.. A. R. of this city, on the
evening of December IL, at the opera house.
Previous to the dancing an entertainment
will be given, the programme consisting OF
music, recitations, etc., and it is fully intend
ed that an evening of profit and pleasure
will be had by those who attend.
The members of the Womens Relief
Corps has charge of the arrangements, and
will serve supper during the evening. Their
work and that of the "brave boys in blue"
being entirely gratuitous.
The object and purpose of this entertain
ment is to raise funds for the relief of desti-
tute soldiers. a number of these grand old
veterans are in the city, and unless pro-
vided for in this way will have to be sup
ported by the county. 1t is earnestly de-
sired to avoid the last named alternative, not
only for the expense to the county, but more
especially to save the old soldiers from hui
initiation.
The relief fund of the post is at present
exhausted and this ball will be given to re-
plenish it.
The object being known. our citizens can
be depended upon to turn out en- mass and
make the occasion n grand success. Make a
note of it everybody and don't forget the

CUT OFF IN HIS PRIZE.

Over how many homes will single death
at times cast a gloom, and how many hearts
weigh down in sadness. The untimely death
of Albert Zeininger is one of these. His
own loving wife and tender and lovely child,
the home of his mother, and the loving
hearts there, and the home OF his own sister
and those of his half sisters and half broth
ers, all sorrowing over the death of one
bright and promising man. Mrs. VIM.
Winch and her daughter returned home yes
terday from Ashton from the funeral of her
eldest son, who died at the age of 81 years
of typhoid malaria. All the love of wife,
all the tender care of a mother, all
the skill of two physicians avail
ed nothing. He breathed his last on
Monday morning, and was buried on Tues
day near his home, in which he and his
young wife had looked forward to spending
so many happy and prosperous days, but
alas, the shadow fell across its threshold.
Albert Zeinniger, who was well known in.this
community, was born at Rockford, Illinois,
in 1858. With his young wife he went into
Kingman county six years age, when his
nearest neighbor was ten miles away. He
and his younger brother built themselves
pleasant and valuable homes. With his
mother, sister and brothers, our people
will sympathize especially with his young
wife, who is left 10 mourn and sigh with
her memories of vanished happy days.
"why should mans high aspiring mind
Burn in him with so proud breath;
When all his naughty views can find
In this world, yield to DEATH
The fair, the brave, the vain, the wise,
The rich, tie poor and great and small
Are each but worms a. stomies,
To strew his quiet hail.

FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY
Billy Edwards and John Wilson Engage in q
Shooting Match at Wellington In
Which the Latter Receives
Death Wound.

Last Saturday night VIM. +. Ed
wards, son-in-law of old DIR. Ray, of this
city, and John Wilson, hard character
well known here, met in gambling house
in Wellington. A quarrel ensued, and Ed
wards, being unarmed at the time, left the
premises and procuring a revolver returned,
when the quarrel was renewed. Sheriff
Henderson, who is our informant, did not
know who fired the first shot, but Edwards
fired three or four shots into Wilson's body
which proved fatal in about fifteen minutes.
Edwards then went and surrendered himself
to Sherip Henderson. 1t was found that
Wilson had fired one shot from a small pis-
tol into Edwards breast, the ball penetrat-
ing through his clothing, but not entering
his body. 1t appears that an old feud ex
isted between the parties and the present
affair was but renewal.
Wilson bore bad character when he
lived here and he had surly. bulldog
look. He was given S. to leave this city
eight years ago and Police Officer Dan Parks
escorted him out of the city; since that time
he has lived in Wellington.
Edwards is comparatively respectable
nun, and some time ago left Wellington and
settled in new town in Mead county,
where Re intended to move his family from
Wellington in the spring.
His father-in-lsw, Mr.. Ray, went down to
Wellington on the Santa Fe yesterday even
ing to see about getting Edwards out on

OKLAHOMA OR BUST

A gentleman just returned from the Ok
lahome district, says that people are flock
ing into that country by the hundreds every
day. He says the soldiers order all whom
they meet to go back; they turn back and
go around some other way, thus Hanking
the troops and go on. Our informant feels
assured that permanent settlement will be
made this time, and he gave good authority
for basing such belief upon. Thcy are
coming in squads of ten to one hundred. and
when they reach Arkansas City they are
fitted out and move into the territory fully
equipped for breaking up land and making
a homestead. Ten men from Chicago land
ed in the city day before yesterday, and
from here set out for Arkansas City to
join the boomers. They are making grand
onward march from almost every state in
the union and il, as now appears probable,
the present influx continues it would take
the whole United States ARMY to drive them
out. Besides those who go in with the
avowed intention ofsettling, squads can be
found all over the territory, ostcnsibly hunt
ing, but in reality locating claims.
The leaders of the movement we under
stand, have enlarged the programme. 1t is
now the intention to settle all the vacant
lands in the whole territory, except, perhaps
the Cherokee nation.
They claim that an Indian should have no
more rights than white man. The way
they put it, every Indian shall have right
to settle on claim, but after that he must
compete with the white man.
Our informant says it is picnic to so
through the country and see all that is go
ing on. Everywhere squads can be seen
loaded down with wild turkeys and game OF
all kinds. The cattle men, he says, begin to
see the hand writing on the wall and are
respondent, but are afraid to say anything
lest their hay would be all burned up. 1t il
rumored that a squad will leave this city
soon for the new Eldorado.

STILL AT THE cussED WORK.
Petrie Bros. Clothing House Entered satur
day Night and Robbed Of Money and
Clothing Amounting to About A2oo.


Between II and II o'clock Saturday night
Petrie Bros. clothing store, situated in Nei-
derlander & Balch's new block on east
Douglas avenue was entered and $40 ia cash
and clothing, studs, pins and other articles
to the amount Of about SITS, as near as has
been ascertained, taken. Mr.. A. L. Petrie
sleeps in the store nights aud light is al
ways kept burning there. Saturday night
Mr.. Petrie went to Fl Dorado. He left the
store sbont II p. m. and went to the depot.
No one slept in the store that night. Some
boys say they saw two men about the build
ing at ll:30 When the clerk entered the
store Sunday morning he found the show
cases open, boxes, handkerchief, overcoats
and clothing of every description scattered
about the floor, and the back door open.
Entrance was effected by taking out
large pane of glass from the back window.
The glass was removed very carefully, the
putty being cut away. The safe stands
near the window near desk. Mr.. Petrie
don't care to have his safe blown up, so he
leaves it unlocked; but the little money
drawer was locked. The thieves cut around
the drawer with knives but failed to open it.
They took the cash drawer off the desk and
got about ten dollars.
This was the coolest piece of robbery Of
the season. They ransacked everything;
picked out the finest pants, underwear. shoes,
silk handkerchief, ties and lislc thread
socks;
1t is evident that the thieves are with us
still. Now, what is to be done? Wichita, it
must be remembered, is now city. Thieves
make their homes in cities. Cities protect
themselves by employing good detective
or corps of detectives in large cities. Now
it strikes us that the proper thing for our
authorities to do is to employ competent
detective, who can locate all the cracksmen
and find out their haunts. Then thew can
be got rid of very easily.

FORCE OF EXAMPLE.

Recently german paid visit to the
county treasures office for the purpose Of
paying his taxes. He stepped up to the
desk, gave his name, and expressed himself
as being DESTROYS ofgiving away some Of his
ready cash 20 Uncle Sam, or in short to pay
his taxes. As the public knows, the tax col
lector does not deal with the property own
ers name, but that the accounts are kept d.
rect with the property. They are levied upon
this regardless Of who the owner may be and
the touton was iuterSogated as to what piece
of property he owned, where it was located,
etc. He persisted in giving his name, pay
ing no heed to the assertion of the treasurer
that no names were upon the books and be-
coming warm he raised his voice and declar-
ed that he had often paid taxes at that Office
and thought this was funny crowd that
would not receive them when rendered.
Here WAS dilema, and how to explain
to the irate German was the lead
ing question of the moment
Happy, thought, send him to Heiserman.
1t was done and after wrestling match in
the recorders Office with the jolly Hank for
ten minutes in a gibberage of which the
principle ingredients were lop-eared Dutch
and hog latin, the brave man grasped the
idea and coming up stairs to the treasurer
once more. he described his location and
paid his taxes, and then, as he reached the
door and halted, he turned and said in with
ering tones, This is the worst place that |
ever saw, why it is as bad as the Wichita
postoffice."
He disappeared in halo of glory, red
lights, great laughter and vociferous ap-
pla,ise in the gallery.

HOGISH

The packing house is now running in full
blast and Cal Stewart is building an Office
near the packing house. There were one
hundred and fifty hogs in the yard yesterday
awaiting their turn to die. The victim is
driven up "A flight of steps and when he
reaches the top trap door is drawn back
and his porkship is knocked in the head
and is then assassinated again by cutting
his throat, after which he is soused into
big trough of boiling water, rolled about a
few times, then pulled onto big table where
a couple Of men make the fur fly off him at
a lively rate. The slaughtering capacity is
fifty day. In the rear is an immense ket-
tie in which the lard is rendered. From
this kettle it is dipped into a large trough,
in which ere three faucets, under which bar
rels are placed and the beautiful hot
stream, clear as water, runs into the barrels.
In the cellar great rows of salt-dried sides,
shoulders and hams are stacked up awaiting
transfer TO the smoke house. The establish
ment is altogether inadequate TO the require
ments of this city, situated as it is in the
center of one of the best hog producing
districts west of the Mississippi. Scarcely
day passes that one or two car loads of hogs
are not shipped TO Kansas City from this
neighborhood alone. This should be stopped
and at once. Wichita should not only pack
all the pork raised in this county, but all
that of the surrounding counties. Colonel
Stewart has plenty of room at his present
location to build up such an
establishment as would accommodate
the trade, and give employment to
all the laboring men in this city. Unfortu-
nately, however, Col. Stewart has not the
required capital to run an establishment of
that magnitude.
A great deal has been said about the ur-
gency of putting forth an earnest effort to
induce manufacturers TO locate here in order
to sustain our present rate Of growth. Now
here is n concern already established which |
could, with proper encouragement, be put
in shape to add greatly to our commercial
importance, and which would give employ !
ment TO our laboring men during the very
season when there is little other work.
