Warning to the Pubic

We wish 10 warn the people of Wichita,
Kansas, and more especially the towns sur
rounding Wichita, against pretended
"Steinway & Sons piano agents, as well as
Conner Bros. and Fischer pianos. 1t has
| reached our ears from several sources re-
been offering ''Steinway" pianos below trade
prices, to depreciate the price of"Steinway"
pianos. SO as to sell his cheaper goods. This
dealer has no authority to sell either OF the
above makes of pianos. Beware of this
fraudent way of doing business, for they
cannot furnish anv customers in our terri
tory with either of the above makes of pi-
amos only through us. We refrain from
using his name now, but any further repeti-
tons of this work will publish them as
frauds over the name of 'Steinway,"
"Fischer" and "Connor Bros" We append
our rights, as legitimate dealers, for the sale
of the above celebrated makes of pianos.
New YORK, Jan. LIST, 1885.

MISREPRESENTED.
To the Editor OF the EAGLE

To the Editor OF the EAGLE
wish TO correct false impression made
by some bad person or persons in regard TO
the A. NJ. Z. Church. Some of the business
men stated to one of our trustees as a res-
son why he should not give anything to
help us prepare for district conference and
Sabbath school convention, that he had
given money to help the A. NJ. T. Church a
week ago. Another stated that ne had
donated something to help our church few
Gays ago. In both cases the parties solicit
ing were women.
Now, the truth of the matter is, the A. NJ.
Z. Church has not called on the public for
help since November, 1888. Any person
soliciting means since that time in the name
Of the A. VI. +. Church, has simply received
money under false pretense. We have not
authorized any women to solicit money for
our church. The trustees letter was pub
lished the 3rd inst, and the proper persons
named as solicitors or receivers of all
moneys.
would like TO impress the white friends
of the importance of their aid and this work.
suppose every church in the city has asked
aid since ours. We have not begged FOR
nearly two years, and now We don't want you
TO say you can't help US this time. The
white friends will receive at least 500 by or
through the conference and convention.
Let Us see, there will be about 40 delegates
who will remain here about four days, which
is equivalent TO about twenty-three weeks for
one person. Board at 81 per week will
amount to S92. This amount will 90 to our
grocers. besides the many other articles
which may be purchased from our different
business men. So financially speaking our
city is benefited. Those who feel disposed
to help us and havn't the money may help
US by furnishing beds or other things they
may think We need.
The proper receivers ofthe money or other
help are Dennis Sanders, I. G. Banks and
Jacob McAffee; also, Thomas Glover, F. o.

". W. Cook, one of the county commits
sioners of Barber county, WAS in the city
yesterday. He came TO the metropolis to
see about contracting for galvanized iron
cornice for large brick business block TO
be built in Medicine Lodge this summer.
Mr.. c. intended to try this city for cornice
Winfield for stone and Kansas City for
heavy castings, and will visit those places as
he intended. Still the live builders and
mechanics of this city surprised him by en-

Asbestos.

Messrs. Hubbard & Garnet, the asbestos
roof painters who are stopping at the Good
year house, are doing large business by
way of filing single roofs and painting tin
root. They have the only perfect fire and
water proof paint in the market and the
people are beginning to find it out. Rev.
Hibbard has two patents on Asbestos paint
and is selling state and county rights. Our
people who have bad, leaky roofs will do
well to see them, or parties desiring to make
money with good invention to talk with
these men. d3O7-1t#

governing the use Of water, which positively
forbids them from allowing brick or stone
masons or plasterers from using water out of
street washers or hydrants or their promises
without permission from the company, and
he hopes this notice will be sufficient to stop
the practice, and notice is hereby given to
all brick and stone masons, also to all plas-
terers, that they are forbidden using wafer
from any street washer or hydrant, or from
any connection with the water pipes without
first getting permit from the company.

The FIGHT KIND OF TAIX-

| According TO the old a,!a.e, blessings
seems that every man who ever did any
fruit canning in his life has heard of Wichi-
ia and Sedgwick county as a section of
country which presents the promising flu
! ture field for that business. An EAGLE re-
porter dropped in quietly on private con-
versation upon this subject yesterday and
by remaining incog heard one party say to
another that this valley was exactly in the
latitude and the altitude for the surc,t and
finest yields oftemperate climate fruits in the
greatest abundance; that the whole country
about Wichita was susceptible of being con-
verted into one vast garden; that il was lust
now old enought TO prove its capacity for
growing anything wanted. Said the speak
er: This city is in the center of vast re-
gion of fertile country capable of support
ing millions of people which will all be here
in few more years. These peoples wants
must be supplied from somewhere, and in
natures economy the place of supply will

now nearly equals the supply, Wills, the

mi.sioned me to proceed to California and
Oregon one year ago to look out new and

canning factory. | found there that the va
riety and quality of production was all that
could be desired, but the country is rough,
and the land capable of being planted TO
fruit is very limited and widely separated

place out there that can ever be-

population like this city, except
San Francisco. and the field there is

A TERRIBLE NIGHTS EXPERIENCE.

Mr.. J. X. Swayer, in conversation with
an EAGLE reporter yesterday, related thrill.
ling adventure. which woman and her
cleven-year-old son had in the raging tor
rent of Spring creek, during the late freshe,
at Medicine Lodge.
II appears that Mr.. Standifar, of Medicine
Lodge, was suddenly swept away by the
rushing torrent, and must inevitably have
been drowned had he not been dashed into
the branches Of a stout tree. Having Sc
curely seated himself in his retreat, he was
rejecting upon his desperate situation and
the probability of the tree washing away.
when suddenly woman came rushing by
with her eleven-year-old boy in her arms,
borne upon the bosom of the merciless flood
just AS she seemed doomed TO destruction. a
tree-top that was bobbing up and down in
the water caught her. With grasp born
of the desperation of her situation, she
seized the branches of the tree, and. still
holding on to her child, she seated hersel.
on the bobbing boughs and screamed for
help. Standifer answered the woman with
cheering words. Meantime the flood was 80
rapid that to have quit his position would
have been sudden death. The tree on
which the poor woman sat. partakins of the
motion Of the water. would dip down once
in while until the water would rush clear
over her As she would De borne down
she pierced the air with the most heart
rending screams. So great WAS her peril
and her devotion TO her boy that S:sndifer
hastily prepared to attempt her rescue. see
ing that her strength was failing. At this
juncture, and just As the woman assured
him that she WAS exhausted, party of men
! with boats came to the rescue, and saved
both Stsndifer, the woman and her child.
