BIRTHDAY PARTY.
o the Editor of the Eagle

To the Editor of the Eagle
Allow me TO intrude little, and give you
an item.
Monday evening May 18th, as the shades
of evening gathered, the residence Of the
Catholi, priest, of Wichita, were sur
rounded by the little ones of his congrega-
tion,all arrayed in spotless white, enblems of
their innocence, bearing in their hands
bouquets Of natural flowers. As they filed on
10 the porch, they commenced beautiful
serenade. The Rev. gentleman, who
was about to 90 for drive,
was perfectly surprised rs he advanced to-
WARDS the door to find that the children had
secretly and silently prepared "A little speech
aud surprise present in the shape of a hand
some steel engraving Happy Thoughts"
and Il fine gold toothp,ck, accompanied by
an album with the names of the donors in
scribcd. They were delighted to think that
they succeeded in giving him such sur
prise, for he was SO completely astonished
that he scarcely knew what to say. After
they finished their serenade Master Charlie
Lease stepped forward and in behalf
of his schoolmates read an APP
propriate address which he did in a
very warm manner. then Misses. Mamie
Graley and Daisy Lynch came to the front
and presented him with the picture. The
Rev. Father thanked the children for their
kind remembrance of him, and invited them
in; as they passed into the rarlor each pre-
sented him with a bouquet. He gave them
a little treat; they all seemed happy, and re-
manned until 10 O'Clock, having a good
time. Just as the children were about to
leave. another serenadSwas given; this was
BY the choir attached 10 the church; they
formed in front Of the parsonage. The
music of The violin and singing waited on
the evening air, made one think of happy
scenes At the conclusion OF the screnade,
Mrs. Chas. Allen read an address of con-
CALCULATIONS, as also of presentation of fine
marble top center table and vase. Then fol-
lowed another address read by one Of the
Sodalitv girls in connection with hand
some plush chair. To both addresses the
reverend gentleman replied, as he is never
at a loss for the right word in the right
place. He received several individual pres
ents too numerous TO mention. As he in
tends 10 take trip east, one Of his friends
furnished him with 4 large fine saratoga
trunk Father Nelly. who is ola genial

house 10 those who so kindly remembered
him. All enjoyed themselves 10 the ut

freshmcuts prepared on short notice all re-

and they spent night before last at the jail.
The case came up for adjustment before
Judge Jewett yesterday afternoon. Charley
Hatton conducted the case for DR..
Blaise, and Stanley & Wall were re-
tanned by the parties charged with
denying all the allegations set forth in the
application for the writ. The defendants
alleged that the child had been most unmer-
cifully treated byher father and they took her
into their house from motives of humanity
After hearing the statements Of all the par
ties it was decided to adjourn the case until
next Monday when the allegations set forth
by the doctor will be gone into. In the mean
time the girl is to remain in the custody OF
the court who allowed her TO remain with
Mr. t. L. McComb, of Derby until that
time Wishing to ascertain the merits OF
the case the EAGLE reporter interviewed all
the parties and from what information he
gathered and from the dirty language the
old doctor used he came to the conclusion
that the blame rested principally with the
old man himself The girl said to the
reporter that no power on earth could make
her live at home again. That her father
beat her numerically hundred times. No
improper intimacy existed between herself
and Trenkle. Mr.. McComb who appears
to be a respectable gentleman corroborated
the girls story and said that Trenkle was al
honest. well-behaved young man. The
weight of the evidence as far as the reporter
could gather it, was against the old man and
some of the parties said some hard thing'
about him.

G. AR. OF VALLEY CENTER.

On Tuesday evening last Valley Center
mad but one rival in the world, and that was
Barett's circus. You see the Grand Army
bows of that delightful little burg had made
nrenarations for grand blow out on that
evening, and invited Garfield Post up 10
holm tackle the deadly bean, but Garfield
Post was alone conspicuous by its absence.
II didn's materialize worth a cent had
pawned its stove and gone to the circus.
The drum corps was likewise demcralized
and had gone to interview the elephant
Notwithstanding these disappoin:ruents,
Valley Center rallied by twos and by fours
until the most spacious vacant building IN
town was filled TO overlooking. Department
Commander Stewart and lady and Adjutant
General Woodcock and lady, Inspector Ask
and lady and Mrs. Chas. f. Warmer had
arrived BIZ the train and the songs that were
sung, the speeches that were made, the
stories told, in connection with the sciopti-
con views given by Major Ask, made this
memorable and o-be-forgotten occa-
sion.
The Valley Center Post is named Chas. T..
Warmer Post No. 335. Col. Stewart, in
few wcll-chossn remarks presented this
post magnificent blue silk Gag, the cost OF
which was SCI. donated by Mrs. Chas. 4.
Warmer ana the citizens of Valley Center.
After the flag presentation Mrs. Warmer
presented the post with an elegant engrav-
ing of her late husband, handsomely framed.
This Ere york Of art was obtained at cost
of $50, and the post &: Valley Center may
well feel proud and honored above their
comrades In being the recipients of two
such valuable and appropriate gifts on the
same evening. The presentation speeches
of Col. Stenach and Mrs. Warmer Eere re-
sponded to on behalf of the post by Rev.
Parker, chaplain of the post, in such Ian
guage as commended itself to the hearts and
minds of every one present. Col. Wood
cock, being called upon for speech, re-
spondcd in his most happy manner. Capt
Shpley related few anecdotes, which clio
tied much applause. The Sciopticon war
scenes, by Maj. Ask, was treat for every
one, and concluded this period of the exer-
cises The audience then adjourned to the
lower story, where tables were arranged to
feed the multitude. II was eleven o'clock
when your scribe took .'his'n" standing.
At halt-past one the last relief were in good
order, when the storm broke with fury
not often edualcd.

A HAPPY FAMILY.

DR.. W. :. and Mrs. Harvey are to be con-
graduated upon the birth of a daughter,
whose appearing came like the JOY of an
oasis in great desert, as now the proud
doctor and his wife have four bouncing
bows in their house, and boys only nutil
the appearance Of the little sister and daugh-
ter welcomed above. 1t is probably known
to few of our citizens that DIR. Harvey is a
brother to Gov James NJ. Harvey, former
IL the chief executive of this state, and after
forwards Uuited States Senator from Kan
sas. This ought TO be intro duction enough
for DIR. H., who belongs to the allopathy or
regular school of physicians, being grad
uatc, and who some weeks since chose our
bright city as his future home.

THE PHILADELPHIA STORE

Among the largest and most successful
business houses in Wichita the Philadelphia
store situated in Eagle block, Main street,
occupies position and prominence. In fact
this immense establishment, of which Mr.. \.
Katz is proprietor, carries about the largest
stock of anv house in the city and besides
doing fine retail trade is fast becoming noted
as an extensive jobbing house, having sew
eral regular customers. The store room Is
one OF the largest in the city, nevertheless II
is too small by half to display his immense
stock, which consists Of staple and fancy dry
goods. clothing. boots and shoes, hats and
cans Mr.. katz came here from Phiiadel-
mia. after which city he named his store
seven wears ago and rented his present
quarters before the erection ofthe building
began. He has met with the greatest sue
cess in his business, which fact look
through his store to-day will demonstrate.
Mr.. Katz was not one Of those who 60 into
mere speculation in city and always hold
themselves in readiness to pull up and strike
for some other point. He bought real es-
tate in a few days after his arrival and de-
ter,nined to cast his lot in city which he
felt certain was destined to become great
commercial center, and he has never yet had
cause TO regret his choice of location. Hav-
Ing business connections in Philadelphia
Mr.. Katz buys nearly 81 his goods in that
market and a look through his stock is sut-
ficient TO convince any one that be buys The
best of everything.
The dry goods department which occu-
pies the front and largest part Of the store Is
replete with great variety of the richest
and latest in pattern and shades, including
silks, satn-, velyets. kid gloves, hosiery,
white goods in great variety and beautiful
stripes. Table damasks, suits, Jersies, IN
short, an endless variety of the finest fabrics
that 60 TO make up modern female attire.
At no time in his long business career has
he placed before the people of Wichita such
an array Of bargains in exquisitely rich dress
fabrics "a are now in his store.
The clothing department. which is very
in the rear, but the room is altogether mad
exuate TO display his fine stock, which in II
word, is unsurpassed in the city.
The boot and shoe department, which oc-
cupies the center of one side. contains an
elegant stock direct from Philadelphia man
ufacturers. His store room is altogether too
small notwithstanding its vast extent, to
show this line of goods 10 advantage and
they are piled under the shelves and coun~
tiers. Asa matter of fact he has as many
goods slowed away under counters and
shelving as some other houses carry alto
gether. An examination of the grand
whole will convince any one that Mr. katz
has been wonderfully successful in business.
He is of a modest, retiring disposition and
does not make such a splurg and show as
some but customers find him an honorable
business man end they stick TO him.
