SURE ENOUGH
SURE ENOUGH
It is Called the Wichita Unlyersity-NO Longer
Vaperous Theory but Fact-Buiiding
to Commence in the Near Future.

1t viii be remembered by the readers OF
the EAGLE that an account was given some
days ago of a university that will be founded
IN the southeast part Of the city by the Re
formed church. It has been decided to cal
it the Wichita University. The charter has
been received which shows the following
gentlemen as a board of trustees:
Rev. D. B. Shuey. of Emporia; Rev. J.
W. Love, of Wichita; B. Bausman, D. D., OF
Reading. Penn; Charles Santee, of Philadel
phia; J. Henry Brown, Wichita; Robert NJ
Jack, Wichita; j. Fulmer, Wichita; Rev. T.
F. Stauffer, OF Abiline; S. A Alt, of lola
L. d. Skinner, Wichita; c. S. Eicho,tz,
Schweiter, Wichita; T. B. Wall, Wichita,
and Rev. H. Shuraker, of Holton, Kan.
! The University building will be erected on
the land donated by Mr.. c. c. Fees, one and
, one-half miles southeast of the city. It is no
| longer doubtful enterprise but an assured
one. The proposition made by number CT
the business men OF the city was that they
would secure the grounds and erect build
ing If the church would furnish an endow-
nlent fund Of certain dimensions. Rev.
Shuey went to the good old state of Pennsyl
vania and disclosed the scheme to the breth-
rem, and as result the desired endowment
fund is on hand. All the money on the city's
part Of the enterprise has not been subscribed
but enough can be counted that makes it
certain that it will be raised.
UTorJ, or, tho b,,i1ji,or Ia
this fall Plans and specifications have not
been determined upon, but the contract pro-
vides for an imposing building, and one far
above the average university building. 1t
will be completed and ready to enter BY
next fall 1t is proposed to start in with the
next regular school year
The plan of the enterprise seems to elicit
commentator from all who are acquainted
with it. The great and important fact that
the institution will be self sustaining, that
its existence does not depend on the number
of pupils in attendance but is already pro-
vided for, seems to be enough in the minds
of all to remove fears that failure would
ever be written over its doors Nothing
will be done on credit but "pay as you go'
motto strictly adhered to. The plan adopted
comedies with that usually adopted by those
most interested in the enterprise.
1t has not been determined how extensive
course of study will be adopted in the begin
ming. The curriculum will probably be
chosen in reference to the elective system !
The president is known to the board and is |
said TO he a thorol1pb educator
Two residences are being built Oh lots JOIN |
ing the university grounds. Others will be |
in a few weeks. Boarding |
houses accommodating students will be erect
ed near the university and ready for use at |
the beginning of the session. AS result of |
the southeast part of the city having al uni
versity, real estate has been lately making |
rapid strides and the building boom increas-
ing.

PAINTINGS.

Yesterday Miss Emma Stiles, formerly of
Chicago, placed open to the inspection of the
public a choice selection of oil paintings at
the residence of Mr. Howenstein. No $50
North Market street.
Prominent among the collection were sew
eral figure pieceS-''fhe Foster Mother, =
Priscilla. Lord Aarnion and an Indian
chief, all good and true 70 nature.
The Passing Storm" was one of the most
Striking of the collection; it repre- sented a
cloud passing over e rural scene leaving a
bright refreshing appearance behind
a large black and white study representing
mountain scene. and two small companion
pieces were decidedly beautiful
Besides there were some flower pieces Of
unusual artistic excellence; small painting
of wild roses and of apple blossoms deserving
special mention.
There was also some china painting and
oil painting upon glass that attracted con
siderable attention.
The collection as whole was good, and
was very favorahly commented upon by the
large number OF persons who called to see IL

WAS 1T A MISTAKE?

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mitchell, who
lives about two mile in the northeast part of
the city, alighted from her carriage in front
of the Kansas Furniture company and left
the horse tied but guarded by no one. In a
few minutes she returned, and, much to her
surprise, found that horse and carriage had
been moved. No one knew anything about
the disappearance and it was set down as a
fact that bold thief had been in that sec
ton.
In about an hour after she discovered a
plug hated lad comfortably seated in the
carria ge driving for blood. The horse was
covered with sweat and everything indicated
that he had been having merry time tax
ing in the town. She called to him but he
stopped rather Reluctantly and seemed
much surprised. On being told he was not
driving his own horse he seemed all the more
surprised He finally concluded that he was
satisfied to cease operations and turn the
property over to the owners. He was
adjudged by all who saw him to be full
fledged gambler and one of the number that
ought to be bounced out of the city.

HEIsERMAN FOR COMMANDER.

At the approaching meeting OF the depart
ment commandery, G. A. R., to be held in
Abilene next February an election of the de-
partment commander will devolve upor that
body. and even at the risk of being deemed
hasty in the matter the friends OF Comrade
Hank Heiserman, a member OF Gafneid
Post No. -. are preparing, indeed have de-
termineI. to present his name for that posi-
tion. In this connection it may not be OUT
of place to make brief personal mention OF
Hank, as he is fanliliarly known by the SOL
der boys.
At the age OF Is he enlisted in the 18th
Pennsylvania regiment in September, 1861,
and was mustered out Of service in March,
"a. having actively participated In all the
cainpaigings of the army OF tho Tennessee,
receiving evidences upon his person OF the
mart he took in the battles of Stone River,
Chattanooga and Resacca, and at Atlanta
lost a leg. During the period of his service
30 soldier was more loyal to the cause or
Jealous for It's success, though his age kept
| from him preferment his gallantry entitled
him to: he served throughout as a private
During his residence in Wichita he has
given continued evidences of his fidelity to
trusts imposed. As member Of Garfield
Post he has been loyal and efficient, filling
the positions OF Post Quartermaster and
Post Commander, and members Of the post
saw none has ever served it better. He was
also chosen as a representative from the
state to the last national encampment at
San Francisco.
Mr.. Heiserman being possessed of rather
retiring disposition, has never posed as
special object for favors OF any kind, and
his friends knowing this predisposition have
volunteered to place him for the position they
will ask at the hands of the department COM
mandery.
In addition to these personal considerations
as to the fitness of the man for the position
there are other very strong reasons why
a Wichita man should be chosen for depart
ment commander. Under the laws OF the
organization the commandery must meet an
nuallv at the point where the headquarters
for the previous year have been located This
regulation restricts the places of meeting in
the state to perhaps half dozen cities on
account of lack of capacity to entertain that
body OF these few places Wichita has en-
ioyed the honor OF entertaining the body
less frequently than any other, having had
it but twice OF Wichita's capacity and
willingness We can only recall to the mem
ory OF those who attended to her entertain
ment of the body when it last met here.

4 HUGE LIE.

Major DunninC, 0. c. Daisy, Joe Corwin
and Dr. Kendren have returned from their
exploring expedition to Caldwell, and report
the silver oar boom in that locality big
lie. They are all acquainted with gold aud
silver mines, having spent years working in
the same. and it is thought reasonable 10 sup
pose they would know big lie when they
met it.
They examined the rock and say it was
formed purely from sedimentation, and has
never been subjected TO the conditions that
always accompany gold or silver. The rock
in their Judgment contains nothing Of value,
and 1t is useless to howl in the ears OF men
acquainted with that subject about the
wonderful find"
A gentleman yesterday having
nothing else particular to do
amused himself and q few friends
IN talking about the old mine boom
schemes. "Of course said he, ''it IS no
trouble to get an encouraging analysis. Just

church AMI seminary buildings, is for i'm

the attention OF all and to loosen the purse
strings of a generous public. The leading
merchants of the city have been very lib

other articles for which the church feels
