FAIR GROUNDS.

An EAGLE reporter visited the fair
grounds yesterday in quest of information
in relation to the preparations going on for
the coming fair. The agricultural hall has
just been completed and is one main at
traction to the grounds, having good Ca
pacity for the products to be displayed
there, and sufficient TO supply booths for the
valuable articles of all kinds that will be up
for premiums, and contest for premiums.
There are two very large stables under
contract in addition TO the ones already
used, which will soon be erected for the con-
venience of the fine stock of the county
which will assemble at the session.
The grounds are being fenced in by q
picket fence and otherwise made suitable to
meet every requirement of tie occasion.
The track is now in good condition with
stands and amphitheater in conformity.
The street railroad to the grounds will
undoubtedly be laid in time TO accommo-
date the visitors. 1t will either be laid to
the bridge or acrost it aud everything pro-
vided TO make the coming fair one of note
and credit to the improved condition Of
the agricultural resources of this section OF
the state

INSTITUTE NOTES.

| We have 24S names on the book and we
only want two more to make it up TO $50,
that will make enough for one year; that
will make it as large if not the largest in the
state. Those that have not been here have
but faint idea of the work that is done
here day after day. 1t is something that is
not understood by many as to what these in
stitutes are for, but the children of Sedg-
wick county will get the benefit of this one.
The class in geography had q general reel
tation and questions were freely asked on
various topics. and as freecy answered. the
meaning of solstices, equinoxes, eclipses and
various other terms used were made plain in
most cases.
School systems of marking was discussed
and the uses and abuses were stated, there
is much to be said on both sides of the
question and what one might be able to do
another might not make successful.
In arithmetic the subjects of equation of
payments and partnership were explained
as TO the manner of working under those
rules.
In Mr.. Jays class in physiology they had
the eye for subject; giving the location
and its parts. The uses of each part was
described by different members of the class.
The eye is very delicate organ and while
many can describe it very few can under
stand it. Weeping was described-one
said there must be two stages, the wet and
the dry.
In constitution they had the formation of
school districts and townships. also the Of
fcers and their duties, which seemed to be
pretty well understood.
In history, the civil war and its results
was talked over; different battles with the
commanders of both sides. The results
Of the war were given as deciding that this
is nation, not league, giving us a nation
al currency, and settling the question of
sessions.
In the classes in Mr.. Fences room the ex-
ercises as usual were varied and interesting.
There appears to be an attraction about his
teaching that is liked by everyone, and all
agree in pronouncing him tirst-class in every
respect.
Mr.. Hammond AS usual had his class in
philosophy interested in the subject and
quite lively discussion was the result.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick gave US very intesesting
talk Tuesday evening. He had for his sub
ject America. He handled it rs he does
other subjects. He gave us some good
ideas. He cited us to the fall of the old Re-
public of Greece and Rome. They had no
salty fer human life, they had the form Of
freedom but not the substance. All nations
have their birth and death. The earth is a
tomb of dead nations.
The time would come when the free lands
woGld be settled and in twenty-five years we
should stand face to face with the problem
of self government. The only road to sal
walton is through federation. We have no
question that will favor discussion.
When We have passed the age of faith and
the age of reason, and arrived at the age of
decripitude it Is hoped that by the air of
education the time of the nations dissolu-
ton will be stayed. Lack of space forbids
further quotation. REPORTER

POLICE COURT.

William Dillon took his seat in the police
dock yesterday morning. Williams gaze
was rather uncertain and had that far away
look that strikes the ceiling about midway,
it looked out on the stray branches of the
cottonwood that grew Just at the judges
right. 1t was not an innocent look, it was
not drunken look, nor was it a sober look;
it was betwixt and between bordering on
that uncertain state of ludeness born of q
nights debauch and partly sobered cussed-
ness.

left ear to the defendant, 81 am sorry have

"Well, your honor" said the de-

look at the Judge. 'Seems rather hard that
this city should turn its whole machinery

"Well," said the judge, Il don't know of

than plain drunk, and frst-class drunk, /
have Just sized you up for the first. You
were drunk, there is no doubt about that;
twas plain, because you are a plain man.
The policeman says you haven't got cent,
consequently you hadn't money enough to
get on a first-class drunk, and l shall fine
you for that kind Of cat, 50 and costs and

welfare or whether he was sending the

MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

At the Young Peoples meeting of the
Baptist church on Tuesday evening the pull
pit and organ were drapcd in mourning and
the exercises were a memorial on the death
Of Miss Groves. The following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolutions of the Young Peoples meet
ing and Sabbath school of the First Baptist
church on the death of Miss Alice Groves:
| WHEREAS, An All-wise Providence in his
dispensation has called from among our
number our dear sister, Alice Groves, from
earth and its cares and hopes to the realms
of u better LAM, and
WHEREAS, Our sister was member of
this church, our Young Peoples meeting
and the Sabbath school, and had won the
love and respect of all who knew her con-
scientious Christian virtues and estimable
qualities of heart and mind, therefore
Resolved, That in the death of Sister
Groves this church an d community have lost
a young member of Christian graccs and
exemplary character, one who WAS just on
the threshold of an honored and useful life,
open to every good word and work, and
Resolved, Thet while we, as her com
panions and associates. deeply feel her loss,
we tender our heartfelt sympathy to her
parents, brothers and sisters, and commend
them to Him who doeth all things well,
feeling sure that He who hath smitten can
bind up their wounded hearts, and
Resolved, That copy of these reselu-
tions be furnished the family of the de-
parted sister, and also published in the city
papers. +. A. NORTH,

NO POSTAL CARDS.

The Wichita pos,office is out of postal
cards. So. are many offices of the county.
The order fro,a this office has been in nearly
a month without response of any scrt. 1t is
supposed that the department is getting out
some new tangled design in which it has been
delayed until the old stock has been ex-
hausted. One OF the troubles with the
understrappers of every new administration
is desire TO leave some personal impress
in the history of the departments. The
number and expense of new designs for
stamps alone made during the past ten or
fifteen years would astonish the average
readers. This new administration has 60. it
bad, even the neglec. of duty. The new
postal card will be no better practically
than the old. In the meantime the govern
nent is losirg thousands of dollars every
day now for want Of q supply.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC

The Presbyterian Sunday school picnic
st the Riverside Park yesterday was largely
attended and in all respects was one of the
most pleasant events Of that nature during
the season.
The early morning was unplcssantly cool,
but as the sun began to assert its supremacy
the day ripened into one peculiarly suitable
for the occasion. The parents of the chill
dren and members of the church brought
more than an ample supply of eatables and
watermelons. Grapes and other fruits were
there in abundance. The river was alive
with boating parties of young and old. The
swings, roller skates and croquet were KEEP.

selves to their hearts content and the picnic

1t is with pleasure that We record the
marriage of Mr.. James Mcknight and Miss
Eva Giltner, which happy event took place
at the residence of the brides parents in
Anthony day before yesterday. The happy
couple were both formerly of Jacksonville,

only few relatives being present. Mr.,
Mcknight is well and favorsbly known in

while travelling for Chicago wholesale

he has been in business in Anthony, in
which city he has made host of warm
friend. We are pleased to extend our warm
congratulation, and hope these two young
lives which have become one may ever
dwell in unity and their path through life's
journey may be strewn with flowers. May
the warm rays ola bright summer sun for
