RUN HER UP,

The buildings composing the old Eagle
Block are of such proportions-that is. the
fronts, elevations, windows, etc, are Of such
proportions-as not 10 suffer, in perspec-
tive, if two more stories Of uniform pat
tern with the second story were added. The
addition of two new stories TO that block,
the third of eleven and the fourth of ten
feet in the clear, would result in r very
handsome and rather imposing building.
The New York block is of a hopeless style
of architecture and proportion and nothing
can be done for it. 1t will have TO come
down sooner or later, but the owners of the
Eagle Block would find ready renters for all
the rooms which two additional stories
would give that building.

GERMAN CLASSES.

While taking look through the South
western Business College yesterday, re-
porter dropped into the German department
which is conducted by Mrs Albertina Dre-
choux. There are fifteen pupils in this de-
partment at present, and their work in trans
la.ing German to English and vice versa in
respect to both correctness and neat PEN
manship, attest at once the qualification of
their instructor. Mrs. Drechoux possesses
fine literary attachments and is master of
the languages, being especially at home in
her native tongue, German and French, and
not only is she master of these languages,
but she possesses rare ability as teacher in
which profession she has labored for years
in St. Louis and other cities. The
work now being done by pupils who attend
ed Der classes last yer when this reporter
visited her school in the Woodman block
speaks for itself.
The largo German element in our coun-
try renders familiarity with their language
an invaluable requirement. la every walk
OF life tho business man, the professional,
in short every one comes face to face every
day with the advantages german edaca-
ton affords and the lack @: ability to speak
and write that langusge confronts one cv-
ery day.

THE LATE ELECTION.

We give below the complete official re-
turns from ell the townships and precincts
in the late bond election, as canvassed by
the board of county commissioners yester-
day:
For the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska
the city of Wichita cast 1887 votes, 4
against it, rejected. For the Chicago, st.
Joe and Fort Worth, 1886, against, 6. In
favor of the Kansas, Colorado and Texas
railway the city gave 1897 and none
against it.
Following are the township votes on the
different propositions:
For the Chicago, Kansas and. Nebraska
Rock kland)-Aitica 65, Alton As. DelanN
90, Eagle 40, Eric 81, Greeley 81, Grant 81,
Garden Plain 40, Grand RIVER 16, Gyp-
SUM 6s, Illinois Al, Kechi 81, Lincoln So,
Morton Al, Ohio 8, Payne 4s, Rockford IS.
Salem 70, Sherman 65. Union l02, Valley
Center 17s, Viola 80, Waco 127. Wichita
1928, Park 90. Total in the whole county in
favor of this proposition 1891; rejected Is.
Against-Attica 72. Alton IS, Delsno q,
Eagle 5, Erie 4, Greeley SO, Grant IL, Gar

IS, Rockford los, Salem 81, Sherman 81,
Union 40, Valley Center 6. Viola A, Waco
Al, Wichita 0, Park 5. Total 1862.
It will be seen by these figures that the
county outside of Wichita gave the Rock
Island 1892 majority, and the entire county,
1925.
The opposition to the other two PROPOSE
tons was greater, and in the case of the
Chicago, st. Joe and Fort Worth, the entire
vote of Waco for and against was thrown out.
The townships outside Of Wichita gave this
proposition a majority of 1,0l9, and the total
majority in the whole county was s,79S.
For fine Kansas. Colerrdo & Texas the
country vote was about the same as on the
last, but the vote of Minnesota instead of
Waco was thrown out, and the townships
gave it majority of 800 and the whole
county 3,7S8.
The average majority in the whole county
for the three propositions was 1887.

LOST BUT FOUND.

Mr.. Ii. 7. Craven hi.ched his horse and
buggy last evening about 8 o'clock near the
corner of Douglas avenue and Market street
and left it for a short time to attend to some
business matters, and on returning, much to
his surprise, found that both had left that
section without leaving any letter TO ac-
count for the absence. He went about. in
curing quietly for information on the mat
Ter and all the time kept an eye out for the
passing carriages. About 10 o'clock
however, he had given up in
despair and started for livery stable after a
rig to go on his journey few miles west Of
the city. Going by the place where he had
left his horse he very Unexpectedly saw some
fellow hitching him g. the same post from
which he had been taken. The next most
striking thing thu. happened in that locality
was thst Mr.. Craven seized the fellow, who
had been entirely too previous, by the coat
collar and informed him that he would be
given shelter for the night free. His new
companion proved to be John Henry, or
moro commonly called Red Mike
After repeated attempt to get away he was
finally successful, and started west on
Douglas avenue. Prof. Pence appeared on
the scene about this time, and he and Mr..
Craven started hard after the fleeing "Mike."
Quite number of others fell in as the race
came down the avenue TO Main street. On
reaching Main, mike" concluded that cleo
trio light was odious on such occasions so he
executed column-left and started south.
Before going half block his pursuers were
so close after that he deemed it advisable to
dodge under wagon. He was hauled out
OF that in very short time
and after he had been conducted back to
Main street was given over to policeman.
The affair caused good deal of excite
ment on the street and Mr. Craven and
Professor Pence were complimented on
their good pluck in saving the fellow, who
evidently would have escaped had it not
been for them.
No doubt Mr.. Henry enjoyed las: even
ing's fly around the town taking in the three
and half mile additions much more than
he will the next few days.
