MILAN, Sept. I've have been having a
little sensation in the regicide line. Last week
young soldier of good standing, sergeant
in the Eighty-eighth infantry, row stationed
ct Mona as guard of the king at his summer
palace, attempted to commit suicide by dis
charging his fusil plump and square into his
breast. By almost a miracle he escaped death,
the ball not touching any vital part; yet il
he lives he must be, they say, "a physical
wreck" his right arm being paralyzed. When
this would-be suicide was discovered welter-
ing in his gore, in his pocket there was found
letter pompously addressed, ITO his Maj
eSty, Hunbert, King of Italy," and running
thus.

Death Of Miss Mary Linneld.

The death OF this cstimable young
lady, on last Saturday, wa. sad 10.
resvcmcnt 10 our community and a
great shock TO her afflicted family.
But few years since, when the Rev.
W. T.. u. Linfeld was m the zenith
OF bis remarkable ministerial career,
the hand OF al.liction prostratcd his
great mental and physical powers aud
he was called from his labors to n
place OF wres.. Since that time his
family have been subjected TO great
financial misfcrtunes, having twice
lost their dwelling by fire. In the
face OF all this, they have struggled on
without murmur, and by dint OF
energy and perseverance rarely ever
equalcd, have earned not only = lireiys
hood. but have always had something
TO spare for the church their father
adorned, and their highest ambition
has been to wear with becoming Gt-
ness the rich heritage bequc,hcd them
in his honored name. Mi.s Mary
was n worthy member OF such fami-
". Her death adds another vacant
chair 70 the household here, but am
other linz TO the family in heaven.
The immense concourse Of people that
followed her remains was mute but
significant tribute To her character,
and AN evidence OF sympathy OF the
community for her relatives in this
their great affection.

for such business should put in an appear
ance After making the rounds aud feeling
satisfied that their work for the night was
mainly over they repaired to the Occidental
hotel where they had secured a room before
commencing operations. In the room as
signed them We're two trunks, which, in the
eyes of the staggering crowd, were painfully
large and took up far too much room. 1t
was proposed by one and accepted by all
that the disgusting trunks should go out of
the window. 1t must be remembered that
they We're located on the third story. but the
distance the trunks had to travel was no
qanstion. And if the trunks went out the
window as proposed, followed at a close in
terval by its companion.
They were then contented as well as a
"boozed" brain would allow but the clerk
appeared on the scene shortly aud revised
the whole code. 1t is not necessary to say
any thing farther about the trunks.

Mr. Charles Adams reports having had a
fine time back in the cheerful hills of West
Virginia. He and his family lately returne
from months V sit in the central part OF

campaign was ar its highest and found a
commonwealth absorbed in the political pro-
fe-Sion, which is the sole occupation during
campaign years.
MI Adams seems TO think but little
change has taken place since ne left there
over ten years ago. ! bout the same number
of trees are standing and the stunps still
hold the fort in the meadows and pasture
lands while the cliffs look as fearless as ever
His visit gave him an extra chance to see the
wide difference in the questions that com
mand most attention in the east and those
that hold most prominent positions in the
west.
He was daily besieged by people who had
often heard OF the wanderfnl city of Wichita

prospects in the variouS professions A

a MAGNIFICENT BANNER.

An EAGLE reporter was yesterday shown
at the bakery of Jos. Koehler, on North
Main street q magnificent banner just re
ceived from Benzigar Bros, of New York,
for the Knights of st. Joseph.
It is a magnificent piece Of workmanship
and is said TO he the finest banner owned by
any private society in the state.
The banner is eight feet in length and four
in breadth, is made from the best quality of
figured white silk and is surrounded by a
heavy gold fringe Upon one side as a
center piece is an oil painting of the head of
st. Joseph, and around it the inscription iii
gilt letters, knights Of st. Joseph, Wichita
Kansas Organized May q, 1854" On the
reverse as a centerpiece is an oil painting of
the Holy family, a copy Of rare excellence
from the old masters and surrounding it
richly embroidered hand work in silver and
gold. The banner was secured by the
Knights and through the efforts of Mr.
kOehler, at the cost of $500 and is one of
which they NAV justly be proud.
