Tic Medical Use Of Eggs.

For burns and scalds there is moth
ing more soothing than the white Of
an egg, which may be poured over
the wound. 1t is softer as a varnish
for burn than collodion, and being
always on hand, can be applied i'm
mediately. 1t is also more cooling
than the "sweet oil and cotton" which
was formerly supposed to be the surest
application to allay the smarting
pain. 1t is the contact with the air
which gives the extreme discomfort
experienced from ordinary accidents
of this kind, and anything which ex-
cludes air and prevents Inflammation
is the best thing to be applied. The
egg is also considered one of the very
best remedies for dysentery. Beaten
up lightly, with or without sugar, anc
swallowed at gulp, it tends, by it,
emollient qualities, to lessen the inflam
nation of the stomach and intestines
and, by forming a transient coating
for these organs, toe nable nature tt
assume her healthful sway over thu
diseased body, Two, or, at the most
three eggs per day, would be required
in ordinary cases; and since the egl
is not merely a medicine, but food a
well, the lighter the diet otherwise
and the quieter the patient is KEPT
the more certain and rapid is their re
coyery.

Mr.. John Hoey, president OF the Adj
ans Express Company has had a con-
ference with Secretary Manning and
Treasurer Jordan in regard to the
transportation OF gold and silver coin,
which resulted in an agreement that
hereafter all such shipments shall be
made by the express company in ac-
cordance with the contracts entered
into by Secretary Sherman. This will
not, however, interfere with the ship
ment of $5,000,000 in silver from New
Orleans to Washington on the United
States Steamships Swatera and Yantic,
as the coin has already been placed
on the vessels, and they will set sail
in few days. The remainder Of the
coin at New Orleans which is to he
transferred to Washington, amount
ing to about $15,000,000, will be sent
by express, and the same mode o
transportation will be adopted in thu
transfer of gold coin from San Fran
francisco, and silver coin from Carson
| City, ST. Louis and and elsewhere
The conference was held at the re
quest OF Secretary Manning, with
view, it is understood, to the transfe
OF a large amount OF gold and silve
coin from distant points where it
lying idle, to commercial center
. where it is more likely to be needed.

The president at his Desk.

WASHINGTON, September S.-Presi-
dent Cleveland was at his desk before
nine O'Clock this morning, and, after
an hours work, began to receive call
ers. There were comparatively few
callers during the day and most all of
them called to pay their respects.
The formal cabinet sessions will be
resumed Thursday, but there is not
likely to be a fully attended meeting
before October LIST, as Secretary Endi-
colt is not expected to raturn to Wash
ington before that date Secretaries
Whitney and Garland are expected
here early next week.
1t is understood that no conclusion
has been reached respecting the Aus

tie is yet known about his recommen
| dations.

WAR WITH RUSSIA!

The war-cloud between the British Lion and
the Northern Bear, which only short time ago
threatened to involve all Europe, seems be be dis
appearing. That England believed herself on

people of both countries at toast five times this

At a certain battle of the late war a
federal chaplain happened to get into
the vicinity OF battery of artillery
which was holly engaged. The con-
federate shells were ploughing burrows
about the guns and the eannoneers
were grimly and actively at work to
answer shot for shot. The chaplain
addressed himself to sergent, who

BARNEY McAULEY.

"a Messenger from Jarvis Station was
presented at the Turner's opera house in
this city last evening for the second time.
Unlike the Mikado and the majority of
light American dramas. it has plot abound
ing in striking positions, and it possesses all
the elements of popularity; full of fine pa
thos and genuine humor and its tendencies
are decidedly moral, depicting in strong
lines the Nervousness of duplicity and false
hood, and portraying in marked contrast
manlin ess, honor and true nobility If char
acter.
Uncle Dsn'l, whom Mr.. McAuley per-
sonater, is a grand character, embodying all
those qualities which man admires in
man, noble, honest and true; unpublished in
manner and rude in speech. Just such a
character is eminently suited TO this great
actor, and its portrayal was wonderfully
striking and natural. Uncle Dan'l, the dep
uty sheriff of Jarvis section, among the
thieves and cutthroats of Boston, was an
admirable scene and the rendition was a
splendid piece Of acting. The audience was
captivated and peal after peal of hearty
laughter and round upon round Of raptur-
Gus applause greeted each part again and
again. group Of old theater-goers,
among which the reporter sat, and who
know good acting when they see it, were
unqualified in their praise of the whole per-
Torrance. The support was excellent. Rot
a part was sighted, and altogether it was
the most satisfactory work done in the opera
house this season.
Mr.. McAuley may count on good audi
ences in Wichita on his next appearance in
this city.

POLICE COURT.

Tim Brandlc was in court yesterday
charged with being little of; he was just a
little gone from his base; or, to use a polite
and genteel expression, he was in his cups.
Many better man than Tim has Travelled

of John Doe, with but little scruples OF
conscience. but Tim sntied TO the music and
paid the IS and costs with that degree Of
politeness that WAS creditsble under the cir
cumstances.
When Charles Anderson sailed in for be-
ing drunk and disorderly on forty-rcd-red-
eve he looked like he had been in his cups
;oo-in fact he had cups on his face and
their contents in his brain. He hsd turned
loose all sorts of cussedness in his disorders
and drunkenness, and when the judge shot

MORE BIG Joss1No INTERESTS.

A very strong and well-known jobbing
firm of the west have concluded to open out
in Wichita a. en- carly day in the Wholesale
grocery trade. Mr.. J. II. Slater, cashier of
the Bank of Wichita, who is personally &C
quainted with the firm, and who pronounces
them A ], in all respects, says that the head
of the firm had just concluded an extensive
survey, made this fall, of all the leading
towns of Missouri, outside ofSt Louis, and
of all the Kansas, Arkansas and Texas cities,
and that he writes that the future Of Wichi-
Ia as a commercial centre, surpasses that of
any town in the west, and that, consequent
ly, they shall arrange at the earliest day
possible Is secure the necessary facilities for
opening out here.
In this connection Mr.. NJ. w. Levy, Of the
Wichita National, met prominent business
man from Wheeling, West Virginia, the
other day at bank in Kansas City, who in
formed him that one Of the stiffest whole
sale stove concerns Of that city were prepar-
ing to open an exclusive wholesale stove
and hollow ware house in Wichita, at an
early day, and that the chances were that
at the same time they would build branch
foundry at this point. This firm have an
immense concern at Wheeling, where they
manufacture all their own goods.
The EAGLES prediction that next year
would witness the greatest boom ever yet
experienced by Wichita seems daily more
sure Of verification. Shove the Eagle Line
westward, put the Omaha, Abilene and
Wichita under contract as soon as two more
counties shall have voted, and see that we
are not swindled out Of the Fl. Smith con-
nection, and all you will have TO do will be
to keep up with the procession. 1t won't take
much more time nor will it cost great deal
more, for the census takers next spring
year to count fifty thousand instead of
twenty-five thousand people as living in

siderably worked up on receiving such a re-

had black legs, but did not consider it a
disease; he had seen quite number afflicted
with colds. but, CHAMBERS, why it was absurd.
Hydrophobia, why, of course, everybody
who has a peach orchard next to Kansas
school house, thinks that the boys are
heavy on the bite. The superintendent
filed out the blank with what information
he had on the matter and returned il to the
Office that requires the information. II was
only the other day that the superintendent
WAS worked up over circular from the
Capital, asking information about vaccina-
ion, and he had just commenced to think
he had defeated scheme that was on foot

GOSPEL MEETING.
Major Whit.le Delivers a Strong az
Eloquent Call to Repentance

As announced through our columns yes
terdsy morning, the White and McGrana-
han meetings a. the rink were begun les.
night. So well had the notice been circu-
lated that at an early hour the audience
began TO gather, and at half past seven the
eleven hundred and fifty chairs were nearly
filed The audience throughout was very
! attentive and manifested the appreciation
which the high merit of the services de-
manded.
The speakers stand was occupied by
abou. dozen pastors and ministers Of the
CITY and one or two clergymen from neigh
boring towns, who took part in the exercises
and gave their hearty support to the words
of Major White. The expression of pro-
found satisfaction and good will upon their
faces and in their words certainly pressges a
thoroughly united effort by the several de-
nominations.
A choir Of about fifty singers from the
various churches occupied an elevated plat
| form in the rear of the speakers stand and
congregational. The major expressed him.
self as much gratified at the musical support
be receives from the Wichita people, and
stated that the choir here is the best he has
seen in long time, which is a deserved
compliment to the musical talent of our
city. One drawback to the singing was the
lack of hymn books among the audience. 1t
is to be hoped that all who who can will
bring copy Of the Gospel Hymns and use
it after they are there. Singing will be one
of the chief features Of these meetings and it
is the expressed desire of Mr.. McGranahan
and Major White that all, SO far as posi-
bic, should take part in the service of song.
disappointment was in store for the au-
dience in the fact that the singer,
JAMES M'GRANAHAN,
was unable to be present, owing to n tenn
porary affection of the throat. Prayer
was offered for the speedy recov-
cry Of this gentleman that
his presence mightadd to the success of
the meetings. Mr.. Z. S. Caldwell, of the
Presbyterian choir, officiated rs leader of
the singing, and about half hour was spent
in song before the regular service was be-
gun. Mrs. McGranahsn was present and
filed her place at the organ.
The well-known hymn, I'VE Praise Thee,
oh, God" was used TO open the meeting,
after which prayer was offered by Rev.
Hewitt. Wonderful Words of Life" fol-
lowed, and Rev. Harper offered prayer.
The choir then very impressively sang, care

build, and wears fall black beard, slightly
streaked with gray. His enunciation is
very clear, every word being distinctly
heard in the most distant part of the room.
His style is eloquent without being rhetori-
cal, and his words impress the audience as
being spoken from deep conviction and with
great earnestness of purpose. The sermon
was regarded as mastery one for opening
the meeting, and we regret that lack Of
space prevents fuller notice.
