TSt. Louis Globe Democrat.

Engineer Spencer of the st. Louis Gable
& Western railway owns large white
and black setter, who is as quick at inter-
preting signals as any of the men about
the depot. Whenever he hears the engine
bell he hastens to his post, no matter where
he is, and will take his place by his master
in the cab with his paws on the window,
watching the track as attentively as the
engineer himself. In his zeal to be up and
doing he will sometimes catch the whistle
rope in his teeth and make the signal for
the crossings. In fact, his admirers say II
he only had hands he could run the engine.

Having read this two or three times
over to assure himself that he had not
said too much or too little, Jonathan
Greysark placed it in an envelope adj
dressed to Robert Fleming, Esq, and
that again in an envelope which he
purposed to hand to the old lady at
Brighton. &4sf
The week seemed interminable to the
enamored Jonathan. Men remarked
that he appeared absent-minded and
preoccupied, but two or three of his
fellow-passengers by the S:45, who were
in the same market, told the story of
his capture by the pretty girl in the
train, and so accounted TOR his pecu-
liarity. He himself, however, was in a
state of anxiety to which he had long
been stranger. Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday passed, and no answer from
the mysterious Mr.. Fleming arrived.
Perhaps the old lady had forgotten to
forward his missive. Old ladies, so
strangely mindful of long-past occur
rences, were, he knew, often oblivious
about matters present. Perhaps-but
he shuddered at the thought, aud cast
it from him-for Phyllis was too good,
too honest, too much of lady, to be
so base and cruel; on the other hand,
possibly Mr.. Fleming was instituting
inquiries. 1t was natural that an af-
fectionate father should do so, and
every time Penn brought in a visit
or's name the merchant expected to
hear ''Mr. Robert Fleming" announced.
On the Friday afternoon he called in
Mr.. Penn.
Kindly shut the door," he said;
Il have something of importance to
speak to you about.
MIR. Penn obeyed, and anxiously in
spected bis employers face.

MINERAL WATER,

About four years ago Mr.. Myron A. Fuller
who lives in the southeast corner of Kechi
township, sank a well. At depth of sixteen
feet q vein of water was reached that posses
ses some strange qualities. 1t seems that its
peculiarities are due to some mineral deposits
through which the water is compelled to
pass.
Mr.. Fuller commenced using the water and
says that he had for some time suffered with
dyspepsia and the use of the water cured him.
He claims that the water has cured others
suffering similarity. Two or three of the
physicians Of the city have examined it
and are giving it to some of their pa
tients. They claim that it is variety of
mineral water which is very useful in some
respects.
He has rot as yet subjected it to a chemi
cal test, so he knows nothing of its merits or
dement's except from experiment He con-
templates having it analized About a gal
lon of the water was brought to this office
yesterday. The odor Is not of q pleasant va
riety, but its taste is not as bad as would be
expected.

AT THE G.. A. X. HALL.

In the report OF the very successful concert
of the choir of ST. Johns church as given at
G. A R. hall Friday evening, mention was
Inadvertently omitted of several very pleas
ing features which added not little to the
success of the entertainment.
The vocal selection, "Amo," by Mattel,
was rendered most artisticaly by Mr. A l..
people have had the pleasure OF listening to
Mr. Crawford in concert. He possesses a
beautiful high tenor voice, great compass
and breadth. His singing was delightful not
only for its sympathetic qualities but for his
true Interpretation OF q very high order Of
music Upon hearty recall Mr.. Crawford
favored the audience with a selection from
the Muskateers.
Across the Far Blue Hills Marie one Of
Blumanthal's greatest songs, was sung by
Miss Hamblin Such song tests not only
the real powers of a singer, bat shows, IL well
rendered, the artist much more than any
operate selection. II combines dramatic
force with true and perfect enunciation. In
this Miss Hanblin proves herself equal TO
every demand, and sang it as only an artist
can, with an intensity which reached the
hearts OF all.
Mrs Crawford's rendition OF th5 Mendels-
sohn concerto merits the highest praise We
have heard eminent artists who might envy
this laiy Ter exquisite touch and superior
technique. Mrs Crawford has received the
best instruction from the foremost teachers
Of Boston, and won richly deserves praise
FOR her mastery playing.

heighth, weighs when stripped one hundred
and ninety-eight pounds. He measurs forty

like giant. He says he is in good wrestling

of the Kansas City Times, is referee and
wired yesterday that he would be here as
agreed The match is made for $500 a side
S:deller is from Chicago. and will prcba-
bly, arrive in the city tonight. Both of the
men are known as champions in sporting
! circles and for some time an effort has been
made to get them into contest. They have
never seen each other. Tickets will be for
sale tomorrow at Santa Fe office and at the
different hotels.
Capt. Shields was born in Scotland in go.
Commenced wrestling. running and jumping
and throwing weights at the age Of seven
teen. He remained in that country until he
was twenty years old, having won several
medals. At the age Of twenty he came to
Canada and met johnson, and won
over him in a wrestling tournament.
Later in the same year he met Rock and
defeated him. He took part in the Calido-
MAN games and won first and second prizes.
In 50 he met Ross in Boston. They

II 900 and neither was able to be called
victor He defeated Thompson at Erie; in
'S3 threw Tom Cannon at Philadelphia.
In tournament in Canada the same year
in which participated Ross, Donald, Diney,

defeated him again last year. In a match
with Tom Cannon last year he de
feated him He threw CrommOth five
times in twenty-seven minutes Last sum
mer he threw Charles Moth, of Minneapolis
One OF the best matches OF Jne summer was
with the famous Jap at Rochester, III which
the latter was downed in fine style.
The match booked for Tuesday night has
for some days been creating no little interest
in sporting circles. The Chicago champion
will be accompanied by number of sport
ing men who are his hackers, and there will
be others from that city who have easy
money for Capt. Shields. st. Louis, Kansas
City and Omaha will be represented largely
and as the men are so equally matched it is
safe to say that money by the thousands will
change hands.

FANCIER'S AGENCY.

Mr.. w. G. Mcconnell, who lives at 207
South Mosely avenue. is running the Wichi-
ia Fanciers agency. He has been in that
business all his life and the success attained
seems to give him some grounds for suspect
ing that he knows what he is doing. He
formerly run the West End bird store at st.
Louis, but moved here a few months ago,
and brought with him a large stock. He
has commenced the business here after being
convinced that Wichita had the boom so ex-
tenslvely that it was demanding a business
in his line
He secured his stock at New York,
Boston, and New Orleans. Has
thoroughbred English pug dogs that are
known as favorites among the ladies. He
has number of species of the canine family
and is prepared to deal in all kinds
He has all kinds of imported and native
singing birds. A speciality is made in train
ing talking parrots. Andriesbery canary
birds and ali kinds of fancy rabits, guinea
pigs, white and spotted rats are among his
collection He also has white mice, monk.
eys, and everything wa nted in a bird or
fancier's line.
Mr.. McConnell's business experience in the
city has an encouraging ring about it. The
people of the city seem to enjoy the song of
the bird and to tame something for pet.

A BAD MAN.
J. M. Russell Shoots at V. P
Appleby, His Employer.
when get mad. Stop not to Com
init Murder nor to Burn"

Last night desperate and determined at
tempt at murder was made at the corner Of
North Main and First.
V. E. Appleby, proprietor of the Wichita
Planning mills was returning with his wife
from the opera house, when they were mel
on First street about fifty feet from the cor
ner by J. Il Russell, one OF Mr.. Appleby':
employees Mr. Appleby seeing the man
coming toward him and fearing danger
lodged behind the crowd of people and wa:
lust running around the corner of Gandol
fos cafe when Russell fired; the bullet, how
ever inflicted only flesh wound.
Mr. AppIeby then ran into the
cafe followed by the desperate man
with the revolver in his hand DIR.
Longsdorf, Mr. King, Of the Lombard Mort
gage company, and Mr. DUNN, of Kansas
City, were leaning against the cigar case and
between the first two Of these gentlemen Mr..
| Appleby ran for safety. Russell walked
quickly to him, placed the revolver to his
eye and was endeavoring to pull the trigger
when his hand was knocked aside and the
bullet passed through the show case. The
revolver was wrenched from his hand by the
three gentlemen and he himself was taken ia
charge by Councilman Pat Healy, who was
passing when the shooting took place As
soon as he was arrested he exclaimed, Cen
tleman, withhold your judgment: | had a
just cause for shooting at him"
The injured man was then removed to his
home, Dr. McBurnie called, and the wound
dressed. Besides the flesh wound upon his
body there is a large swelling over the eye,
caused by the blow from the revolver. he
appeared, however, to consider himself most
fortunate in escaping as well as he dld. lie
says that he had been out to hingman dur
ing the day, and when he returned home
Russell came up to his house, asking for
money which he claimed was due hun. AS
the settlement had been made by the book
keeper, he asked Russell to wait until Mon
day and he would pay him. One word
brought on another, and little scuifle took
place in front of the house. Russell left,
telling Mrs. Appleby that he would be
revenged. "When l get mad L stop not
to commit murder ror burn" Mr. Appleby
said he did not fear the man, yet 81 knew
him to be desperate, and if he had his mind
set on a thing he would do it"
Russell was handed by Mr.. Healy over to
Officer Clark, who was soon at the scene of
the shooting, and taken by him to the
cooler.
As he was locked up he exclaimed, "a
young life ruined through a wrong-trying
to get what ne had earned" He appears to
be smart intelligent man, but is recognize
ed by his colaborers at the planning mill as
determined and bulldogish. He has been in
the employment of Mr.. Appleby since the
first of April and was very good work

TEACHERS ASSOCIATIONS.

The Sedgwick County Teachers Associa
ton met at the high school building at ? p.
m, president in the chair. The meeting wa:
one of the most successful ever held III the
county This fact was very gratifying tc
the hard working teachers and educators whc
have been doing all in their power to create
an interest in the work and make the assocl
alton success.
After singing Zone Sweetly Solemn
Thought the minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
Mr. Swaney's paper on "The Use OF Text
Books by Teacher and Pupil was good
production. Some points were: Use books
as guides. Stimulate. not depreSs, the minds
of pupils Allow pupils TO use other books
than those used in school and think for them
selves. Make education practical. Teachers
should make thorough preparation before
coming to recitations, and use no text books
during recitation. This gives the pupils con
fidence in the teachers scholarship and inter
est. Narrow-minded teachers make narrow
minded pupils. We should do and be what
we expect them to be. Understand princl-
pies and use text books for definitions. Do
not teach many points at once Make text
books servants, not masters.
In discussion Mr. Moody, Of Clearwater,
thought having no books during recitation
was very good IN theory but weak III prac-
tice
The next paper was 'How to Secure the
4, 49,.
meth.
Then followed Literary Work in Schools;
how much, how secured" by Mr. Moody
The value of literary work depends on their
character. No exercise not elevatiug should
be tolerated a twofold aim is reached by
proper literary exercises. A development Of
the mind, and a pleasant entertainment. 1t
develops confidence and self-p ossesslon IN
the pupil. \ half hour once in two weeks
is sufficient, but whatever the plan the
teacher should direct and control it. This
was discussed az some length by hr. Sturde-
want, Miss Hays, Messrs. Shull, Clearance,
Swaney and PROF. Chidester.
Hiss Crowther gave lesson II numbers,
developing the number with class OF
seven. she would use objects in developing
numbers up to Q and then dispense with
them.
The roll was then called by the secretary.
Seventy teachers present.
The report OF the committee on constitu-
ton was read by Mr.. Sturdevant, and adopt
ed as read.
Election OF officers being then in order j.
was moved and carried the present officers

The president, Prot Pence. then gave 4
