"BURY HIM AND SEND NE THE REST >

It will be remembered that few days ago
the EAGLE gave ali account of the death OF
Mr. Warren McAboy, of Towauda- A re-
reporter was told last evening something
more of the circumstances which doubtless
caused him TO commit suicide. He came
to this city from Pekin. Illinois. While
there his half brother, Press Perrel broke
up in business and succeeded in getting bic
Alloy TO lend him 81 800 which was all the
money he had With this money he COM
menced high life aud the lender vas unable
to receive as payment a single dollar or Ii.
Falling victim to a rascal of a half-brother
whom he had befriended bore heavily upon
his mind, and he was compelled TO again
start from the beginning. He then came 10
this city, and afterwards ended his troubles
as stated. By far the most
startling fact is yet to be told. No ordinary
low down specimen of humanity can hear t
without blush of indignation mingled with
rage depicted on his countenance, yet the
half brother was the enc man in the whole
scene When he had suic .ded n gentleman
at Towanda telegraphed the fact to Perrel
and asked what to do with the body Notice
the reply:
Bury him and send me the rest!"
In tn language of the multitude verify it
is true facts are stranger than fiction.

MORE ABOUT THE NOTORIOUS.

G. W. Smith, OF red-ngnt fame, got into g
row Wednesday night with an inmate of his
establishment, and her threat to send for a
policeman caused him to jerk the wire from
the alarm box and played smash with the
property of the A. D. 7. Office generally
His action broke the circuit on the route in
the south part of the city on which was near
fifty boxes. The company soon knew that
there was trouble somewhere, but were I'M
able to find out where it was until yesterday
near noon During all this time the south
part of the city was without service, and one
can readily see where trouble would origin
at under such state of affairs.
On finding out the condition of things, Mr..
A G. Maiden. superintendent of the A. D. T.,
aD feared before Justice Walker and caused
warrant to be issued for Smith, which was
Immediately given to an officer, who started
on the hunt for him. and in few hours APP
peared before Justice Walker with the iden-
teal Smith. He was given n preliminaI y
trial and placed under bonds OF 500, and the
case continued.

SITE OF CRYSTAL ICE PLANT.

Mr.. J. A Sohn has returned from his trip
to the east looking after tag interests OF tle
Crystal Ice company. He visited the manu-
facturers OF artificial ice of Kansas City,
Chicago. Toledo and Cincinnati. He has
made careful examinations of the different
machines used and says he is highly pleased
with the machine which the company has
decided to use He thinks it is by far more
desirable than any other machine now being
made.
Mr. Sohn on his visit not only examined
the different-ice machines, but made spec
ialty of investigating all the details con
nected with running successfully an ice
plant.
The machine to be used is now being made
at Cincinnati. 1t is thought that the com
pany here will be ready to commence work
by the middle OF February.
Yesterday the lots on which the plant will
be located were decided to the company.
They are on the west side Immediately north
of the passenger depot of the Fort Scott rail-
road. The site has front OF one hundred
and fifty feet and one hundred AID thirty five
feet deep.
The building will be LOOKED feet. part
will be four stories high and the remainder

THE ALBO- 'ARBON LIGHT.

The gas company Is making an experiment
with an Albo-carbon lamp. Some weeks ago
four OF that kind were placed in Talmage &
Todd's queeusware establishment on North
Main street. They have been examined by a
number of persons and seem to give perfect
satisfaction to the proprietors of the firm.
The new light allows the gas 10 pass
through pipe which is heated, raising the
temperature of the gas, which then enters
into a receiver filed with carbon. The latter
lends richness to the gas before it reaches
the blaze The carbon makes the flame much
richer, and it is claimed Is much cheaper than
If gas alone was used.
The invention appears in the minds of all
who are versed on questions of that sort to
be a decided success. 1t is one of the late
efforts of those interested in the gas industry
10 compete with the many different lights
produced by the electric light companies.

NOT THAT KIND.

The Commonwealth in abiding to the
hanging which is to take place in this city in
February, says that prominent Wichita real
estate spectators made determined but I'M
successful effort to have the hanging made
public and that "the Wichita people were
sore displeased at tho action of the officials, y
as they thought that few people might be
attracted to the town and that it would be
quite a boom to have public hanging bee
in their midst.
We have no idea, in the first place, that any
prominent Wichita man ever made any such
a request The assertion, however, that the
Wichita people were sore displeased, we pro-
nounce lie out of whole cloth Wichita
people are refined, not bruitish, educated
christians, not fiendS, ghoulS, or devils, that
they should seek gain from such an exhi-
bition. As for the intimation that n few
people might be attracted to the town. we
have only to say that should the crowds of
people, who come and go daily in Wichita,
strike Topeka, her denizenS would stan
around with mouths agape wondering whel e
le big excursion had come from anyway

DON'T CRY, BUB.

There are evidently some very evlily dlS-
posed persons in the city who are wicked
enough to impose upon the creduiity OF the
innocent reporter on the EAGLE stah.-Bea-
con.
1t is very evident that the readers of the
Beacon wish that some one would be kind
enough to impose on the Beacon reporters in
the same manner and give them some news
now and then Doubtless they are tired
reading news poorly copied from the EAGLE
All who are familiar with both papers know
that the Beacon has suffered an ignomlnious
scoop in every item of local
interest that has happenened during the
last SIX months Yesterdays paper was only
a fair sample Scooped on the sale of the
water works Scooped on Nave, McCord &
Company wholesale jobbing firm. Scooped
on the jail delivery. Scooped everywhere
and scooped every time.
1t is not remarkable that those reporters
get scooped, but it is funny to witness their
efforts in trying to make their readers be
lieve that they do get some first hand news.
The Resident is honest enough to admit the
ability of the EAGLE in gathering news, but
the Beacon reporters stand off and whine
like licked ours.

AT TIE OPERA HOUSE.

Last evening the Clark Comedy company
put upon the stage Shaughraun. The house
was TO vded again, and the play was most
enthusiastically received.
Miss Francis, as Claire Ffoliott, scored an
other success; the life and vim she put into
the character made her a favorite from heI
first appearance upon the stage.
Conn, the Shaughraun, was most cleverly
acted by Mr.. Oglesby. The many happy
hits that the play permits were well made bs
him and highly applauded by the audience
Mr. Percy Meld N took Captain Molineax,
and gave good representation of the char
acter
The other parts were all well sustained.
Tonight will be given the Bankers
Daughter, the dress piece of the repertoire.
The costumes worn by Mss Francis and the
other ladies are elegant, and no pains will be
spared to produce the play in the finest and
most acceptable manner.

CAPTURED.

Scarcely had the three prisoners made
their escape from the county Jail thar tel
graph and telephone messages were sent all
over this section notifying of their escape.
Sheriff Hays was in Comanche county on
business, and as soon as he received the intel
ligence he knew who the escaped culprits
were, and considering the condition of the
Jail floor, was not surprised. Yesterday he
was showing upon the streets piece of the
iron broken off by the men. II was old,
rusty, and appeared to have been broken of
by the pounding upon it with their boot
he is.
Robert McMara was the prisoner who 1T
was most DESTROYS to recapture.
Carter, who is being held mainly as a witness
would have been released yesterday, and
Ross, who was in for only petty offense,
would have been freed Saturday. The man,
right into re-arreSt, and after hardly a day s
freedom was again in the hands of the law.
About 5 o'clock Thursday night a man
came to the door of NJ W. Dewing, a mar
shall of Valley Center, and begged for some
thing to eat. bIr. Dewing believing from the
intelligence he had received that this was
one of the refugees, Immediately Ell
rested him and brought him
to the city on the night train,
As he surmised his prisoner proved to be one
of the sought for and to be McNara. He
was given $50 for his dlever capture.
McMara was yesterday brsughj into court
wi n another new charge hanging over his
head. He pleaded guilty to larceny and was
sentenced to the state penteatiary for eish-
t.. Ell months

FIRE.
tea month

Yesterday forenoon about 10 o'clock the
fire alarm was sounded, and the fire depart
ment was soon out.
The cause Of the alarm proved to be
small blaze in the bntcher shop OF G. {.
Roush or North Main, between Oak and
Pine
The department could find no plug near
the fire, and the bucket brigade was put into
action and soon extinguished the flames
without much damage, save the destruction
OF stove, caused by the falling Of chimney
fiue.
During the excitement OF the fire some
snsaz thief stole about 81 % from the money
drawer and made away with it undetected.
The clerk had fortunately earlier in the day
taken all the money, about SD i'll amount,
from tho drawer, leaving the above small
amount in change

Last evening man dripping with mud and
his face covered with biooi came up Douglas

to find his way across the riuer 70 the east

convince him that he was upon the east side.
started him towards his home, which he said
was on Mosley avenue. He accounted for
his appearance by saying that he had been
knocked Off the bridge three times "by some
villain" The officer, however. did not take
much stock in the drunken mans story, but
is inclined TO think he lost his equilibrium IN
attempting to cross the street car bridge and

IAN UNHEALTHY BOOM.

Some sleepy chap by the name Of b. f.
Wood. at Winfield, says, through the Conr-
Ter. that ''Wichita is in the midst of an IN
healthy boom" If the erection of eight
hundred buildings, involving an expenditure
of two millions Of money il a single season:
if the doubling Of or retail and the quin-
tubing OF our wholesale trade; if the quad
rubbing Of our manufactures and increasing
by thirty per cent. our population, all within
the same brief period, constitutes an ''un-
healthy BOOM then Wichita has got it bad.
As boom it is no doubt little too feverish
and energetic for the quiet nerves OF our
sleepy friend, but its a boom which
has in an increditably short time
made Wichita the greatest city in Kansas
and which will within a brief period make
her the greatest commercial center west of
st. LoNiS Wichita's boom is an unhealthy
one, no doubt, that is, it is an unhealthy one
for her would-be rivals, which Winfield is
not.
IAN unhealthy BOOM" Yes, very. We
know of towns whose people, without regard
to age or sex, have worn the knees out of
their brooches praying for just such an ''un-
healthy BOOM and other cities notably
along t 10 Missouri river, whose business men
have howled themselves baldheaded for a
like calamity to fall upon them.

sition on the c. B. & y. railroad in Wiscoa-
sin. IS the guest of Mr. Bonnie Mead. Mr..
Miller was in the city near eighteen months
ago and like all Others who have been away
that long expresses himself as much surprised
at the wonderful growth Of the city. He
He SAYS he had made allowance in his own
mind for booming city but the suburbs are
much farther from the center of the city
than his calculations would admit. He re
grets very much TO be compelled TO abreviate
his visit but i compelled by business matters

THAT REAL ESTATE BROKER.

During the late illness of the editor of this
paper communication signed BROKER,
severely criticising some action of the city
council which it seems was proposing tax
on real estate dealers, was laid on his table.
The communication was accompanied by no
responsible name, and was not found by the
editor until yesterday The writer claims
thai the real estate men made Wichita the
pre-eminent city that she is, rather than that
the city has made several real estate men.
If the real estate men made Wichita and
Wichita didn't make a multitude OF real
estate men, we suggest to our correspondent
that when real estate men can no
longer afford to go on making Wichita that
there are hundred other towns in Kansas
anxiously waiting to be made, and which
towns will not charge the real estate men
one cent, singly or combined, but freely con-
cede them all that they can make out OF the
enterprise Our observation leads us to the
conclusion. or our conclusion leads US to the
observation, which way you will, that none
but live towns support real estate brokers,
and that all the real estate men in Chrlsten-
dom couldn't resurrect or put life INTO dead
town, and not only that but in attempting
such thing they would starve in tie opera
ton. If from the lack of brains, or of enter
prise, or OF business or capital, Wichita
should cease to grow the real estate men
would pile out Of the town like rats from
sinking ship, and our correspondent would
probably lead the procession. or course
little of this applies to such real estate men
as employ capital in their business, capital
and brains, as other business men employ
capital and brains, but it will strike between
wind and water the greater number whose
only capital is chin and check.
