Get Through In One Hast

My son, if you want to acquire the
ability Of making short speeches, let me
whisper inyour ear: Tell the truth. Just
stick to the plain, everyday unvarnished
truth, and you'll never talk longer than
nfteen minutes, and sometimes you'll get
through in one heat, liz. If a
man comes home from the brook and
says simply; caught a trout that
weighs AZ pounds. you can believe
him. But if he begins by telling YOU
where he bought his rod, how much he
paid for it, how big bass he took with it
last summer, what kind of a reel he had
on, what fly he used, the length and
strength of his casting line and how lone
he played the trout before he landed it
my boy, that man may begin with the
honestest intention in the world, but bv
the time he gets the trout into the land
ing net he will lie from three to five
pounds in spite of himself and a Christian
mother.-Robt. J. Burdette.

BURGLARS ARE A-BURGLARIZING
A Commission Store Has E:s Stock
in Trade Diminished During
the Night.

Some time after 10 o'clock last night,
one or more unsupported burglars made
an entrance to the commission and auc-
ton house of J. L. Durgin, at CIV Sec
ond South street, by breaking in the rear
door. On the arrival of Mr.. Durgin at his
store this morning he was astonished at
the wonderful "goneness" presented by
the long row of show cases. A brief inven-
tory of the stock in the store the night
before revealed several cases of lockets,
watch chains, rings, score of pins and
various ornaments missing.
The police were notified and bit OF
detective work is going on which may
eliminate in the arrest of the parties,
who seem to have inaugurated a system
of house thieving and small business gen.
orally throughout the city.

Rich Actors and Actresses.

Little Lolita is declared to be the rich
est woman on the stage. I heard her
fortune put day Or two ago at 81 ,OOO, 900.
That Is OF course extravagant. She ia.
however, worth all of $3.50, 900. and I dare
say somewhat near 100000. LII her
earlier years on the stage Lolita expert
enced no end of trouble in keeping her
money. Somehow or other it all went.
But as time wore on Lolita contracted bust
ness habits, until now she is as capable a
business person as anybody. She has

believe; but she is full of animation. and
always wonderfully happy little body.
She succeeded on the stage because she
could not help it. 1t is perfectly natural
for her to cut the capers that she does
for she cuts them off the stage as we'll as
on. The richest man on the STAGE is
doubtless Joe Murphy. He is worth a
cool $500, 900 if he is worth a dollar He
was poor Irisls boy, and started as n
variety singer and dancer His one
ambition has been to make money, rather
than tame as distinguished artist. He
mas stuck to Irish dramas, and he has al
ways played to big paying business, while
other shows have languished and died on
all sides. He has sung "Only Handful
OF Earth from Ny Dear Mothers Grave. -
until it wrings tears from even him-tears
OF agony. The song, however, touches
the hearts of his audience every time |
without fail. The women boohoo and the |
men demand a repetition. Players who
are satisfied with modest positions in the
profession like to go with Murphy. He
expects them to do all that their contracts
call for, but he treats them fairly. No

HONORS TO FORT DOUGLAS.
The Numerous Prizes the Sixth sEas
fantry Team Got Away with
at Omaha.

About month ago several of our boy
from the Sixth Infantry at Fort Dougla
were sent to Omaha to compete with th'
teams in the Departments OF the Missouri
Platte and Arizona in rife practice. Tbs
competitions closed August the 18th
amid the presentation OF medals to tht
successful competitors by Colonel W. p
Carlin, on the parade ground at Omaha
A large number of spectators viewed the
ceremonies, which are said to have beer
very imposing The totals made by the
teams in the departments named above
were as follows:
The Missouri, firing at known dis
tances, made 1896 points; as skirmish-
ers, 2,670 points; grand total, 7,166.
The Platte made 1896, 3,705; total,
S,1O1.
The Arizona, 1891, 1864; total, 5,755.
1t will be seen that the Department OF
the Platte team, of fourteen men, leads
the Missouri team by 935 points, and that
of the Department of Arizona 3, 346 points.
In the skirmish match, the head man
in the Platte made in two days 379 points !;
the one in the Missouri, 234; Arizona, 154.
General Crook explains the low scores
of the Department of Arizona by saying
that one-third of the organizations were
changing stations during the practice sea-
son, and one-third are in active campaign
and not represented at the competition.
This certainly makes great difference in
calculating the final result.
The figures give, first, the total for two
days firing at known distances; the sec
ond, the total for two days skirmish fir
ing, and the third, the grand total num-
Der OF points made. In the contest the
Platte had twelve representatives and
two alternates participating.
Sergeant J. w. Weeks, Company
E, Sixth Infantry, made 800
points at known distances; 376 at
skirmish firing; total 696, which won
the first U. S. gold medal; second, U. S.
skirmish medal; third, General Towards
medal; fourth, veterans medal; fifth,
Fifth Infantry medal; sixth, the New
man medal
Corporal T. W. Benjamin, Company F,
Sixth Infantry, won q gold watch, by
Eldholm & Erickson.
Lieutenant q. w. Torrey, Sergeant J.
W. Weeks of Company f, Corporate. w.
Benjamin Company L, and Private James
Manning, Company B, formed the win
ming team from the Sixth Infantry in the
regimental team match at 200, 800 and
600 yards, for the Union Pacific Railroad
prize, handsome water set.
The same Fort Douglas boys won the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad
prize in regimental skirmish match.
This last match at skirmishing was pro-
nounced the most exciting of all the
many competitions.
First Sergeant A. Ryan, company G,
made total score of 545, and First Ser
yeant Rebentisch, company I, a score of
543, against all others, and that made by
Weeks of 800.
Sergeant James Sedore, company H.
Sixth infantry, made showing of 542.
Sergeant weeks, OF the Sixth Infantry, |
If Fort Douglas, Utah, the winner of the |
irst place in the team, made on the last
lay the remarkable score of 200.
The Sixth Infantry fairly covered them
elves with laurels, and return home the
hiefs.

A NEW MOTOR .

Il NAV not bo generally known that
Wichita has a large number Of inventors at
work on various inventions that will obtain
prominence soon, but such is the case.
While in search of news yesterday report
er met Mr. w. ii. II. Campbell, who re-
sides at 800 North Market street, and who
invited him to examine a combination hand
and foot motor for which he has just receiv-
ed patent. This wonderful invention is
admirably adapted for motive power for
light machinery and vehicles of all kinds,
including railroad hand cars and anything
of that kind. The reporter spent some
time in observing its adaptability to various
Uses and figuring on its auxiliary
to man in the matter Of travel, and was as
tonished to find that, by its aid, tricicles
could be propelled with ease to the speed of
a fast horse, and hand cars could be driven
on express time by four men. with the
greatest ease. The inventor, who Is an old
resident Of this county, explained number
of different notifications by which this ex-
cellent invention could be made suitable rs
Il motive power for machinery, and after
spending a half hour with him, We are
satisfied this machine, which i very simple
and cheap, is destined to produce rev"lu-
ton in operatin. machinery. Mr.. Camp
bell intends going east soon for the purpose
of inducing some manufacturing concern tC
assist him i'm the manufactur. and intro
duction of his wonde.{ll patent, combina-
ton power for operating machinery.
