A BEAUTIFUL TRIO.

Mr.. J. w. Bear. as he came from the fair
last evening, was tottering under load
which he carried in basket and some assis-
lance was offered him, but sitting down to
rest he uncovered the contents and 10, they
were pears; three pears which he had had
on exhibition at the fair and which were
marked by the committee, "best but not
full number"-the full number for COM
plete display emitting to premium was made
to be six, and but for the fact that the little
dwarf-tree about G feet high and u inches in
diameter had exhausted itself in bringing to
maturity these three monsters, Mr.. Bear
would surely have captured the prize on
this kind of fruit, for of all the immense
specimens of fruit that has made our "mouth
water" this year in this great fruit country,
these three representatives of the Duchess dc
Angouleme were the most monstrous.

LAST NIGHTS PLAY.

The seating capacity Of the opera house
was again taxed to its utmost last night a,
the production of The Widow Bedott" by
the celebrated Waite Union Square Comedy
Company. The audience WAS kept in con.
tinual roars of laughter from the raise of the
curtain TO the close of the entertainment.
J. w. Garner as the poor lonesome widow
was irresistibly funny. j. X Waite was
particularly clever in his impersonation of the
''Deacon." The mirthful laughter and APP
plause of the audience was unbounded. The
courtship scene between the Widow" and
deacon" brought the house down in a
storm Of applause Seldom has an audience
quilted our opera house ip happier mood
than arose last evening upon the fall of the
curtain upon the wedding dance. The
company appear this afternoon in matinee
producing the comedy THAT Girl Of
Browns" and close their engagement this
evening in "Damon and Pythias."

THE CLOSING HOURS.

Yesterday evening witnessed the closing
exercises Of the greatest county exposition
and agricultural fair ever held in the State
of Kansas. We say this for all it means and
without any fear Of contradiction from any
quarter. A large number present ON both
of the last two days, who had visited the
STATE fairs at Topeka and Bismark on several
occasions, declared that they never saw such
crowds of people at either place. The great
majority ofpcople were citizens of Sedgwick
county, which made II peculiarly our own
show and the success therefore is our own.
Summer, Butler, Kingnan and Harper coun-
ties were all represented by quite number
of people, but there were not one hundred
people present from beyond the confines of
the state. The weather was very propitious
and live stock of no description suffered.
Considering the great number of people, the
three days witnessing the presence Of twenty
five to twenty-seven thousand, the accidents
and casualties were indeed very few and
slight. The officers and directors are

success of nearly every feature of the enter
prise while the average citizen naturally
stood up taller and swelled out bigger in
CHANGING about over the unusual throng OF
contented and happy people. The EAGLE
has tried to give fair and honest report Of
the more salient features of the exposition
and whatever il lacked of detail was attri-
butable to our want Of room and not to in
disposition to to tell it all. 1t was impossi-
BILE to tell it all, in fact, even to see il all.
The attractions being so numerous and con-
slant. We heard no complaint or growing
that might betermed such, The cattle, hogs,
horses and sheep displays were not only
crcditable but such as to be proud OF. The
fruit display excelled anything of the kind
probably ever shown in the west, while the
corn, wheat and vegetable were such as only
grow in the great valley. Let it be set down
in memory, in books and in files Of the EA-
GLE that the Scdgwick county fair for 1884
was great and unprecedented success of
which farmers, stock growers and business
men of Wichita were alike proud.

AN EXCHANGE OF COMPLIMENTS

On Thursday night a shooting affray took
place at one Of the noted bagnios in this
city which came very near closing the
drama Of life for man who gave his name
as John Bart. This person had made call
at the place referred to which resulted in
developing misunderstanding between
himself and one of the soiled dow es who was
an inmate of the domicile. A war Of
words eRsued when the proprietress of the
den ordered the man out of. the house and
said, as the best information obtainable
shows, that if he did not at once obey the
command she would shoot him. He
replied that he could shoot as well
as she but rather than have
any further trouble he would go, and pro-
ceeded TO leave; but just as he was about to
pass through the door this woman fired up
on him, the bullet from her revolver passing
through his hat and cutting small furrow
along his scalp. He was surprised, as he
did not expect her to fire and he had his
back toward her, but he seems to have
thought that it was now his turn, As he drew
his revolver and fired upon the woman,
though his shot was harmless. The man at
this juncturc left the house and the
woman sworc out warrant for him
both in the police court and the
justice court. He was arrested
and appeared before each, and
as he knew the evidence would
all he against him and coming from
such a sourse that he would stand no show
as to truthful evidence and believing it the
cheapest way out of the difficulty, plead
guilty to the charge and was fined $500 and
costs in each court, which was certainly a
cheap settlement of difficulty that came
very near costing him his life.
This is but another argument against the
liberation of such places and an additional
admonition to give them wide berth.
