TOM AND MAUD SKIP,

The heart smasher and very humane
gentleman, q Mr.. T. q. Sourelle, spent
yesterday in the city as usual. While be
was making way with the after breakfas,
cigar he was handed q copy of the EAGLE
and shown the article that referred to bis
Royal Highness. As he glanced down the
page the color lett his cheeks and BY the
time he had taken in the situation was pre-
pared to wonder what to do sboutit.
He fnAlly decided to take bis chances
on catching the "au.hor fend"
on the streets and set himself
to work, O. he claimed for that purpose.
About noon he was enjoying the remarks Of
. crowd Of gentlemen who were discussing
his case and who we're wholly unconscious
of his presence. He interrupted the affair,
and after an oily introduction proceeded to
say that it was all true, except that he was
never in the city until about . month ago.
He seemed to think that he had done .
righteous act in relieving . man Of bis wife.
He did not speak of . future reward while
soliloquizing on the subject. but his manner
indicated that be was confident be had
gained point in thst direction.
His view of the question was taken in by
the reporter be was looking for, but he did
not seem to recognize the fact After he
had fred of quite large amount of person
al compliments, he. by his actions. seemed
to congratulate all present that they were go
fortunate - to hear him, and passed on.
Last evening he and his companion Jeff At
7:3O on the Fl Scott road for Fl Scott
There are reasons for suspecting that they
were arrested LAST night at that place by
the authorities there. No attempt at
such thing, however. WAS made here.

MORE WHOLESALE Ho .SEs.

Mr.. Geo. r. Gay, of the importing no.
ton house Of Gay & Co., Boston, who has
been sizing up the city for the past three
days has leased the store room now occu-
pied by Aldrich & Brown, for term Of five
years at rental of SIPS per month, begin
ming the middle of October. Aldrich &
Brown will move into their new building as
soon rs it is completed and then enlarge and
improve their present quarters for the &C
commodation of the Boston house, who will
fiji it with full stock of notions and will
conduct q wholesale and retail bushes
there. Gay & Co., are a strong firm and
they will do well here. When Mr.. Gay
left Boston it was his intention to open q
house in Kansas City, but after looking that
burg over he was not very fAvornbly i'm
pressed and hearing whisperings Of land
way down on the Arkansas river, the
richest in America and standing proudly at
the confluence of the great and little rivers,
was the cream city Of the great west, smil-
ing over vast fields of corn and rich mead
ow and pasture lands whese vast herds and
focks roamed and multiplied and fattened;
q city whose fame has gono abroad in the
land and which has attracted the attention
Of the great trunk lines of the country; q
city destined to fill no mean niche in this
great nation. He came, he cav, he was
convinced and he clinched the opportunity.
Mr. j. w. Walker, Of St. Joe, Mo-, Of the
wholesale grocery firm of Steele & Walker,
who now have John Exton's building full of
goods from cellar TO garnet, arrived in the
city yesterday. this being his first visit. He
is highly pleased with the city and has beer
negotiating with parties to erect building
suitable for their business, Mr.. Exton's
building being altogether inadequate for the
stock they intend to carry. The reporter
learns that negotiations for the new building
are about completed.
The Peterson Bros, from Davenport,
Iowa, who were here to gee about the pros
poets for dry goods jobbing house. left tor
home last evening to report matters TO the
old man, and there is . strong probability
that they will be heard from soon.
There is but little doubt that by the be-
ginning of the new year Wichita will have
- many and as strong Wholesale concerns as
Kansas City.

HELLoW WIFE,-GoNE.

A reporter was handed o letter yesterday
by friend. 1t was written by Captain J.
E. Jung, from Henry, Marshal, Missouri.
1t lot in food of light upon some parties
who have been in this city for some weeks,
and whose actions have been characterized
with suspicion.
1t seems that the wife of the gentleman
who wrote the letter had some time since
made good he. escape from her husband
accompanied by two little children. She
was induced to do SO by another gentleman
who had won her affections. She is rather
large and inclined to be beautiful,
and apparently thirty years Of age
Her companion is something of fair look
ing specimen Of man but could neither be
called winning or repulsive.
He was contested in business with the
former husband of the lady, and it is said
her affections for her husband we're some
what weakened by cruel treatment from
him. An interference on the part of her
present companion on different occasions
when the husband was irving to smash the
motto of "homs sweet home" over his wife's
head, induced her to finally vacate the IN
happy home and seek sustenance elsewhere.
Mr.. Young is numbered among the wealthy
of his town. His wife left while be was
away from home attending TO some BUSH
ness, and he did not return to hear the
news for some days. Consequently the
couple had SO much the start of him he
concluded he had best spend . few days
writing to different cities for information
before buckling on the apparatus that is
usually called out on such occasions.
The two arrived in this city about eight
days ago and their names are to be found
on several registers in the city They usu-
ally register 81. Shortal and wife" The
so-called Mr.. Shortal has been spending the
time in the city quite easy. No one has yet
discovered that he has yet matured any bus-
iness plans
The gentleman Who was asked Tor in
formation has answered the letter. From
evidence he had gained be Vas prepared to
furnish Mr.. Jung some Information. The
tone of the letter Of inquiry would indicate
that We will have new arrival from town
in Missouri soon. Perhaps, If such . thing
happens some hungry reporter viii strike
feast or picoic.

CORRECTION.
the Editor Of the Eagl

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Please permit me, through the columns OF
the popular EAGLE, in correcting some
statements made in the article Of yesterday
entitled 'sTtuth Stranger than Fiction" I
do not wish to condons the wrong done an
injured husband or speak one word in de-
tense Of T. G. Lorrelle or the ct he done.
but still. - friend Of Toms. I do not be-
lisve in painting the devil black, more
particularly in his absence. I merely wish
to correct the statements yen have made In
regard to what you call his previous history
In Wichita. I will state most positively
that the Tom z. Lorrelle under considera-
ton never placed his foot or presence earlier
than four weeks since in Wichita, and dur
ing this or any other time he never con-
trsctsd . debt of any nature which he has
refused to pay. l have known him for
several years, and know him TO be an edu-
catued and, in all his transactions involving
money matters, honorable gentleman and
good business man, who would not stoop 10
the low level which you charge him-ofleav-
ing unpaid bills behind him, or possessed of
lions share Of gall, on this his second visit
to Wichita. 1 will state again he never
visited Wichita before, and does not owe
nickel in the town or state, he
ID by this time safe across the muddy
waters of the Missouri, and it is not my
province to defend him in his late episode
With another mans wife, remembering what
the Great Teacher taught, be that is without
sin in word, deed or thought cast the first
stone. If you will 60 to your court today
you will see that an action for divorce has
been entered BY the wife against tine hus-
band Harry.
That Toms courtship was not Of the na-
ture of either Hiawatha or Lochinvar or in
accordance with the conventional code of
modern society or either in strict conformity
with prevailing modes and customs as they
exist in Wichita today. Let Us hope that in
the future they may say that all is well, as
i. is ended we'll, and that in the sunny south
where they purpose making their future
home, that there will be two souls with but
q single thought, two hearts that beat as one.
Yours, TRUTH.
