by Stokes long Imprisonment in the
Toombs and the still longer one at
Sing Sing. That was supposed 20 be
the end OF him. Certainly nc one i'm
agined that ED" Stokes would ever
be a man of note in the community,
with so very dark a cloud hanging
over him. He served his term at Sing
Sing and soon after his release he went
to California.
Very little was heard of him for
some time. Only his personal friends
knew how he was employed there.
No one had any thought that, having
been down so low, he would ever rise
again. But the stuff that makes men
rise a in him. After a while New
Workers heard that a magnificent bar
the most elaborate and costly in the
city, had been opened III the Hoffman
house, with Ed Stokes as proprietor,
II they went in thousands
to see it. 1t certainly was worth
seeing, the pictures and statues
alone representing q small for
tune. The bar hourished and after
another while it became known that
the Hoffman house itself was largely
owned by Stokes. It's business grew
rapidly and Stokes made money fast.
He also made the acquaintance OF d
number OF Wall street men, forhis bar
became their favorite uptown resort.
Gradually his footing among the Wall
street men became firm and they, on
the other hand, gradually recogniz-
ed in him an uncommonly able bust
ness man. He went into Wall street
himself and made some pretty good
turns. And now he comes to hefront
as president of a telegraph organiza-
ton that promises to give to the over
grown Western Union company ahard
push. Some of the strongest finan-
cial men in New Yorka are at his back
and evidently have confidence in him.
The rise of Ed Stokes since his dreary
days at Sing Sing is very remarkable
indeed.

The Genial Side of General Grant
as It Appeared in Europe.

London Times.
The share taken by this country in
celebrating the obsequies of General
Grant was the calledfor because
it was his first visit to us which
brought into prominence the more
genial side of his character. He was
just then released from the trammels
of Office; and to the great majority Of
his own countrymen was somewhat
in the position of the setting sun. No
one in the United States had anything
to hope from his patronage or any
thingto fear from his ~displeasure. 1t
can hardly be doubtedt that the change
in his position had been forced upon
his notice in ways that were not alto
gether pleasing; and it was intelligible
that he should seek change and diver
sion in foreign travel. In his own
words he expected, on reaching
Liverpool, to walk OH shore with
his bag and his umbrella like any
other citizen Instead of being thus
unoticed he was received with almost
royal honors. The tender which met
the steamer brought a deputation
from the local authorities, an address
was pi presented to him and he was es-
corted to his place of temporary So
journ. A special train vas prepared
for his Journey to London. and the

stations at which the engine stopped
for water were gay with bunting and
triumphal arches, and the municipal
authorities were in attendance on the
platforms with addresses. The gener-
al made no attempt to restrain, even
duringthe journey itself, the expression
Of the pleasure which he derived from
these manifestations ofrespect;and the
discovery that they were but the fore
runners of q universal welcome SOON
exerted a powerful influence in caus
ing him to shake off his habitual CLOAK
of silence and reserve and togive I'M
wonted utterance to his thoughts and
feelings. 1t was a new experience to
him to enter a society in which he
could talk without restraints and in
which he, at least, was outside the
circle of intrigues and of animosities,
and had no motiveto exercise the eau
tion which they are calculated to pro-
duce. To the English people he came
in all the luster ofhis military renown
unvarnished, by associations derived
from his political career. The force
of his character was thoroughly APP
preciated by the majority of those
who came into contract with him, and
he left behind himmany admirers and
some friends III service ii Vest
minister Abbey wasbut a ittingreccg-
milton of his fame, and of our own kim
ship to the great Nation which he pre-
served from diaster by his military
genius.

now call him, Mr.. Stokes. His cleo

INA BAD BOX

A pretty good story is IN the custody of
small group of gentlemen of this city. Con-
cerning very unpleasant predicament,
certain prominent money losner of Doug
las avenue, found himself in while travel
ing in Harper county last week, An EAGLE
news-grabber accidently caught the leading
features of the case while one gentleman re-
lated it to another last Sunday. The re-
porter also got the gentlemen's name; not
necessarily for publication, but as an evil
dence of good faith. The story as near
as the opportunities of the reporter
enabled him to catch it's that he attempted
to ride certain freight train, but was denied
that privilege by the conductor. Why he
WAS not permitted to ride,the reporter could
hardly catch on to, but the man who WAS re-
lating the story evidently wished to convey
the impression that the money broker Was
trying the tramp act, and endeavoring to
beat his way. The reporter, who has too
good an opinion of the gentleman's charac-
ter TO entertain such thought, was at a
loss TO divine any other reason why he
should be fired of train, as
was asserted. Finding himself bounced,
as the story went, he sought the scqusint-
ance of a box ear, and stored himself away
in corner. In this position he was cap
tured later on b. brakeman, who told
him if he did not fork over = 80. he would
be perrrntoriy fired. He very reluctantly
forkei over the filthy lUcre, which was u
gr--s,ter amount than the regular fare. That
in etlect is the tory the news-gatkerer
heard, but knowing the gentleman so well,
be Is reluctant 10 believe ne wanted to beat
his way

Another Wholesale Es,aebishment for WIch-
Special attention Is called To the adver-
,isement of the E stern Buggy company in
this issue.
Wholesale carriage establishments ARE be-
ginning to take prominent rank among our
wholesale Interests. There are already sew
ersl establishments here carrying heavy
stocks of buggies, carriages and vehicles of
all kinds, but in this special pursuit, Ike all
other branches of business, there are busi-
ness men who are ever aler; and active TO
their own and the public interest, who, in
the great scramble for supremacy manage
10 get 10 the 'front.' Mr.. ii. X. Tuller. pro-
prietor of this new candidate for public ia
vor, which is located in Hays block, east
Douglns avenue, is gentleman Of excellent
business qualifications and agreeable man
ners, and all such will succeed in business in
Wichita. Mr. Tuller, who came here last
spring from Ohio. demonstrated his faith in
Wichita by inve ting largely in real estate.
and having determined 70 make this city his
permanent home, he began the erection of
very fine residence on North Topeka avenue
about two months ago, which will be fin
ished before winter. Having been raised in
carriage manufacturing snd being connect
ed with one Of the largest manufactures in
the east in that line. he determined to open
a wholesale and retail establishment for the
sale of these goods in his adopted city. For
this purpose he leased the commodius ware
house he now occupies and went east about
a month ago to select q stock, which is now
ready and for sale st his ware rooms. No
finer class Of vehicles can be found east or
west, and We predict grand success for the
Eastern Buggy company.

FIRST BLOOD
FIRST BLOOD.
A Young Ia y Shoots q Bsrsiar in the Act

a Young La Shoots burglar IN tno Aee.
From the series OF burglaries recorded
during the last few weeks i: might appear
that they could ply their occupation with
impunity, as there has been no single one Of
them arrested or injured in the act itself.
Until Sunday night not a single one had as
much as snelt powder while on his noctur-
nal visits Of plunder, and it had commenced
TO be talked of as a matter of course. that
the people of Wichita were too sleepy
headed or too timid to prevent their prose-
cutting their calling. Sunday night. how
ever, proved that there was God in
Israel and that the thieves were for
once utterly defeated and pu. to fight with
sulphurious powder and that by a young
lady in her teens. The fac as gathered by
by a reporter are these: Miss Ella Brown is
young lady guest Of A. Hlltermann liv-
ing in the northern part Of the city. While
in her room Sunday night she heard some
one raising the window Of her room.
She very quietly went TO drawer and took
therefi ON loaded revolver and advanced
on the window. She held it close against
the form Of the burglar who was now half
| into the house aud on the window ell, and
fred. The burglar dropped out on the
ground with a groan, when he again re-
ceived n shot from the pistol in the hands
of the brave girl, and still another.
1t l. supposed that he had confed rates
and that they carried their wounded pal of,
as he could not be found when looked for.
A reporter sought All interview with the
Young lady herself and WAS much struck by
the 1.-THE, innocent and gentle look of the
| heroine who had the nerve to face n fierce
burglar and shoot so uDerring as to bring
him to the ground. 1t now appears that she
is an excellent shot with pistol, having
been practicing with her little pistol. Sew
eral bugaboo stories have been noticed by
the reporter of people shooting at burglars
and ''sich;" in fact it appears that one man
| in particular has been after cheap notoriety
for shoolipg at the shadow of a cottonwood
in West Wichita, but no real genuine shoot
| ing at a burglar has occurred in this city
during the whole summer until the occur
renee Sunday night. Miss Ella has been
congratulated by large number of her
friends for .'first blood" in the encounter.
