THE SOLDIERS RETURN.

Co. 4, X \. G., returned by special over
the \, T. & s. f. railroad from their sum
mer encampment at Fort Reilly, at II o'clock
this morning Colonels Woodcock and
Hutchinson and Adiutant Ask We're aboard
the train.
Besides Company A, under command OF
Can't. Richey, there were Co. b., of Yelling
ton, under Captain French; Co. G., of Win
field, under Capt. Finch; one section OF the
First battery, under Capt. Height, and the
Second regiment band from Winfield.
During the whole of the encampment the
weather was fine, circumstance that added
not little to the most delightful time which
they reported having.
Captain Richey expressed himself as CRATE
full to the U. S. army officers, Lieut.. Col.
Compton and Capt. Miller, for the pains
they had taken to make everything as COM
Portable and pleasant as possible during the
encampnent.
He says, too, that Washburn, the fly drum
major who accompanied the Second Regi-
ment, handled the baton with glory to him
self and credit to the regimental band.
The company arrived at the end of their
railroad journey Monday evening at about
o'clock, and after march of three miles
reached their encampment, which has been
given the name of Camp Phil Sheridan, and
pitched their tents.
Tuesday was company and battalion drill,
Wednesday and Thursday competition drill
and inspection. Friday they struck camp
and marched to the Davis county fair
grounds to participate in the sham battle AT
night they started for home, and after
pleasant ride safely arrived as stated before.
There was no accident or serious mishap of
any kind to mar the pleasure of their en-
campment and although Company A was
not successful in securing the prize in com
pany drill their regiment, the second, was
the successful competitor for the regimental

COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.

Last night near half past 8 O'Clock, a lad
named Frank Turner was noticed passing
counterfeit money. The fact was made
known to policeman Clark and he found the
lad aboard street car on east Douglas ave-
nue. He was turned over to Tom Mcnamara
and city marshal Cairns, who took
him 10 his room on North
Market street and securing his
grip returned him to the county Jail. They
then made an exploration of the grip, and
found in it four bars of white lead, ladle and
soldering iron
On his person was found two aud one-half
dollars of good money, and between five and
six dollars OF counterfeit.
The prisoner claims that he got the money
somewhere, but knows not where. He pur
ports to be from California, having been in
the city only few days
OF course the police take his statements
with no small degree Of latitude. They know
something more OF him than he is aware Of
1t is known almost to a certainty that he is
connected with gang Of some dimensions
who have been doing the town up for some
time. This it is hoped will lead to some i'm
portant discoveries concerning some rabberies

OBITUARY.

Died. at the family residence, 423 South
Lawrence avenue, on Friday night. at 1880
Mrs. Elizabeth D.. Andrews, wife of j. S.
Andrews. About year and half ago Mr..
and Mrs. Andrews came here from Wapello,
Iowa. The removal was made in the hope
of improving Mrs. Andrews health, and for
a time she seemed to be better. OF late she
has been slowly sinking, and now the end is
come.
Mrs. Andrews was born April 1lth, 1888,
in Rush county, Indiana. She has been a
life long christian; in her girlhood she was a
member of the United Presbyterian church,
but in later years she was connected with the
Presbyterian church. She was model wo-
man in faith, in purity, in charity and best
of all she had an abiding faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ. A husband, daughter and
four sons mourn her loss. Mr. Andrews and
his daughter will accompany the body to
Wapello, Iowa, for interment. The funeral
services will be conducted at her late resi-
dence at 2:30 this afternoon. *

FAIR NO. ..

One of the attractions yesterday was an
exhibition of Sedgwick county products in
Niederlander's office windows. 1t embraces
several fleeces of the finest marino wool ex-
hibited at the fair by Il. Huffman on which
he was awarded first premium. IN the same
window is shown a thrifty cotton plant
grown in the south part of the city Samples
Of corn, wheat, timothy, alfalfa, and few
fine varieties of vegetables are also shown.
but the best point of the exhibition is a
caricature farm scene shown on canvass. 1t
is a conception of the clever artist, Mr.. New
by. In the foreground is shown a mammoth
ear of corn drawn by six stalwart oxen
driven by a big grasshopper. At the edge of
neighboring field the farmer is in the act Of
rolling similar load on his wagon by means
of heavy skids, while in the distance may be
seen the steeples and towers OF Wichita.
The whole display is quite unique, and
serves to attract the crowd. Niederlander
never does things by halves.

THE STOLEN BOYS STORY.

About twenty-five newsboys and boot
blacks were present at the corner of Douglas
avenue and Main street on Friday AFTERNOON,
and had free ride and entrance to the fair
grounds, accompanied by Col Hogeland and
j. G. Mccoy, the corresponding secretary Of
our local organization, who marched them
into the fair grounds and capturing an open
land called for hearty cheers from the boys
which was responded to with a will and re-
peated three times. A crowd soon gathered
and listened attentively to all that was said
in behalf of caring for homeless boys and
girls. The announcement was made public
of the names of the officers of the local organ
ization and then the boys marched to the
lunch stand Of the W. C. T. U. and proceed
ed to devour about ten luscious pies which
was all the edibles the ladies had left After
two hours spent in taking In the fair and
races the boys gathered at the entrance gate
and took free ride back to the city. all
seeming happy that they had at least one
friend on this earth.
While the committee was yesterday max
ing its rounds on the street for the purpose
of gaining information concerning some OF
the little street gamins, a little boy, poorly
clad. and who wore respondent look, was
noticed. He seemed to be afraid to talk TO
anyone but seemed to hope to be able TO
make his way in this cruel world
alone. The story his countenance suggested
was enough to prompt an investigation,
which drew out quite pitiable story.
He said tha. his parents lived in Des
Moines, Iowa, apd that some months ago he
had been stolen bp a tramp, who had Kept
watch over him. which had prevented his es.
cape His gunkind master made him beg,
and by his work the two were furnished a
subsistence He said he had given his mas
ter the dodge yesterday morning, and hoped
to be able to never allow him to get another
hold on him.
The pitiable story of the little fellow ex-
cited an interest in the hearers, and be was
given a comfortable home, where he will be
allowed to remain until his parents are no.

IN MEMORIAM.

James r. Brasstield is no more The dread
hand has again reached out from the dark
and in the midst of our busy life there
Is another vacancy, a familiar form and face
have been snatched suddenly away and for
ever by its fatal grasp. Flight is vain wishes
and longings futile. 1t is the sad mystery
which ends our life and ends all James
Brassfield was ona of the earliest settlers in
this valley, coming to Wichita in 1870 when
the town was first laid out To all of the
older residents of the city there were few
forms more familiar. His great failing,
as measured by the standard of this selfish
world was his generosity. He never was
asked to divide and refused. He was born
in 1889 in Clay5 county, Missouri, near Lib
erty. From the close of the war until june
1870 he lived in Leavenworth, coming to
Wichita in that year with the Kohn brothers,
.clerking in their store until kohn
sold out the dry goods business to Brassfield
s. Mckee. Since 1874 he has been book
keeper and salesman, being engaged at DIFF
fercnt times with Arthur. Allen, Thos jew
ell. i. Katz, a. Wingard, Benz. Aldrich, C.
\. Phillips, Geo. z. Harris, D. r. McMillen,
Chas. Derby, and maybe others. Poor Jim:
his battle has been fought, and LET Us hope
that while death claims the FIRST victory, that
our friend may rise triumphant TO an exist
ence peaceful, beautiful and immortal. lday
