TO ALL LOVERS OF FUN.

Patrons of the opera house will enjoy a
grand treat this week in the sparkling play
of "Fun on the Bristol" The play is one
of those new things that now and then pop
up in the amusement line and throw every
body into real generous hearty laughter.
The entire performance is a perfect creation
in its way-perfect for the purpose for
which 1t was designed. Fun on the Bris-
tor' was written TO amuse, and il does
amuse. II amuses those in the orchestra
as well as those in the top gallery. Ii is
broadly humorous and delicstely humorous
at turns. The various things witch occur in
it are so utterly comical, so wholly without
conference and SO completely disconnected
that II is out of the question for anybody to
give the right idea through the columns Of
q newspaper. A feature of the performance
is the introduction of special;ies. vocal music
predominating, participated in by every
member of the company.

REV. HENDRYx.

The text Of Rev. Hendryx, the new pastor
Of the Christian church. on Sunday morn
ing. vas ''The Cities OF Refuge" the subject,
Christian Life.
Our friends are to be congratulated upon
the fact of their having secured really able
divine. We can we'll believe that he was
able to interest such man a. Garfield, who
we understand, was at one time . member of
his congregation at Mentor. The Reverend
gentleman is sequent theologian, if we
may be permitted the term and az etheti-
cal philosopher. His explanation of the
selfish character of the American, was not
only logically correct but it portrayed the
evolutions of mind that goes to the bot
tom Of things. Our reverend friend seemed
unconscious of the fact. that be was shoot
ing away above the head ofthe average
listener. His sermon was q mental feast
aside from IFS spiritual bearings. but one
fact hinged SO closely upon another that it
seemed all meat and no digestion. For q
class of advanced theological students his
sermon would have proved admirable.
However, We went to hear and not to criti-
cise, and hear we did to the edifcation o.
both heart and brain-for the sermon was
filed with both.

A GOOD JOKE.

The Anthony delegation who were in this
city yesterday in connection with the suit Of
Bowling VS.. the Fort Scott road, got huge
joke on Mr.. John Tuttle OF that city.
AS the story was told to an EAGLE repor-
ter. Mr.. futile brought grip along in
which he slowed flask of medicinal pur-
poses," which he had gobled up long before
the train left the depot. The boys fearing
he might have to remain few days in Wi
chits and surmising from the weight of the
grip, that he couldn't stand the hotel off on
it in that slim shape, filed it with coal dur
ing Mr.. Tuttle's temporary absence. On the
train he was approached by Detective Nc
Mahan, who was in the game. and who
asked if his name was Tuttle. On receiving
an affirmative answer. the cop informed Mr..
futile he had reason to believe he had some
Of the railroad company's property in his
grip. Mr.. Tuttle thereupon Indignantly
opened said grip, when 10! the cup was
found in Benjamin's sack. OF course the
boys had lots of sport. and Mr., futile set
up the fluid on the joke, which he took very
good humoredly.

STREET RAILWAY.

This evening one can ride on the street
cars TO the Fort Scott depot. The material
was scattered along Second street, from
Main to the passenger depot, and portion
of the track was put down yesterday after
noon. II is believed to be the intention of
the street car company TO build their bridge
across the river at the end of that street and
on to the fair grounds. That route possess
IS msny advantages. 1t is by far the short
est and most direct route, and the river is
considerably narrower there than on Doug
las avenue. Again, this route will be ALSO
lutely free from all annoyances that might
occur should they build alongside the
Douglas avenue bridge. Of course it will
not be near so convenient tor the business
portion of the Fifth ward, but all things
considered it is the best route for the COM
many

RUN OVER BY THE CARS.
A Four Year Old Boy Losses q Limb on the
Fort Scott Road.

About noon yesterday. Earnest Dohm,
the four year old son of Mr.. c. H. Dohm,
living about twenty rods south of the Fort
Scott and Santa Fe crossing, at the mort
east corner Of the city, me: with melan-
choly and probably fatal accident, sustain
ing fracture of the left leg by being thrown
between the cars, fracturing the entire limb
SO badly that it WIS found necessary to am
putate the limb near the hip, which opera
ton was performed by Doctors Purdy, Nc
Coy and Craig, soon after the accident. The
particulars as near as could be CLEANED BY a
reporter are, that the train had got SO tn of
the crossing and stood q moment in front OF
Mr.. Dohm's house, which is close to the
track, when the lid initiating the actions
of some of the school boys of that neighbor-
hood, attempted to climb upon one of the
cars. The train men had been taking on
some cars of sand at the sand pit, near the
crossing, ani when they started up they did
not see the child. The movement of the
train threw him between the cars and two
trucks passed over the limb before he was
discovered. No blame can attach TO the
employees Of the company. A man who
was not far off said that the cars were in
motion when the child attempted TO climb
upon the cars. A reporter visited the boys
home about o'clock yesterday evening and
found the poor little fellow suffering terri
bly,, although he had rallied bravely from
the first shock and the amputation. The
doctors say the chances are against his re-
covery.
This sad occurrence should be warning
to the school boys who attend the school
about thirty rods south of this crossing and
who are continually jumping upon the cars
there when the train halts at the crossing;
and riding down in front of the school, then
jumping off. The railroad men are greatly
annoyed by thsm, as is also their teacher,
who has warned them against the danger
time and again. They need good lecture
from their parents. The section men say,
that the children lay with their necks across
the rail, sometimes when they are coming
along with the hand car, and remain until
the car is nearly upon them. Of course,
childlike they imagine this is smart, but
older ones know it is dangerous. and good
lecture from their parents might help mat
tiers greatly.

AN CID PIONEER


A reporter in conversation with G. II.
Rand, OF the Fifth ward, yesterday, learned
from HIM that he was on the present site Of
Wichita in August 1855. he states that he
was resident of Lawrence in 1854, having
come out to that place to work as mill
wright on the first mill erected there. He
worked on the first house that was erected
in that city. In August 1855 he, with a
party of citizens of Lawrence, travelled on n
hunting expedition to the Great Bend of
the Arkansas and travelled down the Arkan-
sas to the Walnut. When they reached
Little River, at its mouth, they camped
three days and killed number of buffalo.
large numbers Of which were to be seen ia
all directions. One herd, he stated, that ran
by them were timed by a watch held in the
party, and If took 800 minutes for them to
pass. They also saw many Indians but
were not troubled by them, it being a year
that they were at peace.

ing that it has been running only a few

tations, that he had not anticipated SO much
business for at least year. His stock is
very large. there being kept on hand at all
times in the neighborhood of 5000 cigars,

that the man had taken the horse with the

he did not pay, but left with the horse be-
fore an enquiry WAS made for him.
