Jas. Wilson. of Rush Co.. Ind. and was
ON his place until one year old. when she
was sold at his sale and bought by Geo.

her until the spring of 1881, when |
bought her at his sale. Mr.. johnson
used her in going to and from his farm.
She had never been on track. COM

in 1881. was in 3 10. The same wear She
gave me trial of , "a. and repeated in

fast. At Cincinnati she won the 2 40
trot in July, winning the Sd, 18th and 9Th
heats in 2:2G, 2:29. 2:3l. In August |
gave her Il trial over the Cambridge CITY

this next season. Hoping this will be
satisfactory. | am.

Among the new or less known points
on insecticides are the following Mix
pyrethrum with four or five parts of
flour. Gas-lime water for the cabbage
worm is made by rubbing the inside of a
cask with spoonful of gas-lime and fill
ing the cask with water. Burning straw
over strawberry plants for the tarniSh-
plant-bug has proved quite successful.
The effectiveness of pvrethrum is increas-
ed by the addition of alcohol.

ROBBED.

Monday forenoon an old gentleman living
on Central avenue in the eastern part of the
city, came to the State National bank and
drew out $500. He spent $50 in making
some purchases the remainder he carried
home, intending to use it yesterday morning
in making q trip to California.
Upon retiring for the night Monday he
placed his pants, containing the money on a
chair at the foot of the bed and with
in a short distance OF the window.
When he awoke his pants were gone, and
glancing from the window saw them lying
at the corner of the house. A search of the
pockets showed that ali the money contained
therein had been carried away. The thief,
no doubt, reaching in tho window and tax
ing the pants and after rifing the pockets
cast them away.
There is SO far no clue 10 the robbery.
The old gentleman, however, remembers that
when he drew the money from the bank q
man standing near said, pleasantly. "Old
fellow, this is a good time to nold You up"
In reply he said, laughingiy: ''Oh, yes; come
on: The old gentleman thinks perhaps this
pleasant individual took him at his word !;
waiting, however. until he was asleep before
disturbing him for the money.

NOT AN ORDINANCE.

| 1t will be remembered by the readers OF
the EAGLE that the salary grab ordinance
has commanded considerable attention from
the city council for a number OF meetings.
1t will also be recalled that at the meeting
last Monday night the same question was
sprung by the mayors veto message and con-
siderable time was consumed in trying to dis
pose of the question. The voice of the coun-
Gil showed five in favor of allowing tho
mayor 5000 and the councilmen $50 each per
annum, with four in the negative. 1t was
supposed by most of the councilmen that the
question was at last settled but his honor
is charged with knowing better, which
was due to the fact that he had given the
subject more attention than anyone else
Despite his information on the subject his
announcement Of the vote if made at all was
not loud enough to start the suspicion that
the measure had again went overheard.
1t seems that majority vote Of the coun-
Gil is required to make the report an ordi-
nance, which in round numbers is the pain
full number of six. Hence the question is
not settled in the affirmative as supposed.
The salary of his honor and councilmen
has not been increased, but it is hoped by
many that strike will not ensue

reputation in Chicago, and its journey west
has been a continued line of success. Its per

operas, which are very popular, are said to
be especially excellent. The bill for Friday
night will be the ''Mikado." The Kansas
City Journal said of the company

that city: The Chicago Opera Company

meut at Music Hall this evening. The
members are fully established as Kansas City

A FRIENDS MEETING HOUSE.

As is known to our local readers there is an
organization of Friends, who have ror a year
or two past been holding regular service in
this city. The organization however have
had no place of their own, but depended up
on securing halls, etc. The society is not
a strong one numerically, but would have
been much stronger had they had place of
their own. The last monthly meeting de-
cided that an effort should be made to erect
suitable meeting house, and brothers Wal
ter Cox. V. K. Stanley and VIM. Lester were
constituted committee to make the neces-
sary canvass for subscriptions and aid. The
monthly and yearly meetings of members
outside of this district Or for the state at
large have promised, we believe, to help the
enterprise. The EAGLE hopes to see q gener-
our response to the appeal of the committee
for all know that no better citizens as class
can be found than the Friends, substantial,
reliable and solid as a rule, and the building
of meeting house will tend to draw them to

THE cAxPxEEr1Na.

Night after night the large pavilion is
crowded with the people of the city, while
the important theological subject of the
Sabbath" is being examined. An interest
seems to be awakening on this point of bible
doctrine.
| Last evening Elder Curtis spoke from a
text found in Jerimieh 81; SO. This text is
plain statement concerning the position the
law would occupy under the new dispense
tion.
| The apostle Paul quotes from this text, and
shows that in his day the people of God were
living under the new covenant dispensatlon,
in which the Lord says 81 will put my law IN
their inward parts and write in their hearts
shows beyond all possibility of doubt that
in the new covenant here prophesied OF the
law of God will be no less prominent than it
was before.
| In Psalms 1873 the will of God and the law
are beautifully blended. IL delight to do thy
will, oh my God: yea, thy law is within my
heart" Here person that delighted to 90
the will of God had his law within his heart.
Precisely the same relation that the Lord
| said should exist.
The teachings of Paul confirms the same
idea concerning the law. Rom. 3:3l. Do we
then make void the law through the faith!
God forbid: yea we establish the law.
We as Seventh-day Adventists are really
teaching no ne " doctrine, but this is just
what nearly every religious body in the land
believe and teach. To show this to be really
| true the elder read extracts from the Metho-
dist discipline, Lutheran catechism, Presby-
terian confession of faith, Free Methodist
discipline. Baptist manual, and Webster's dc
tionary showing that all believe the law to
be obligatory.
! Next he read what eminent men of the diff
ferent churches have said. Martin Luther,
John Calvin, DR.. Adam Clark Methodist,
Albert Barnes Presbyterian, DR.. Cummings
of London, Spurgeon of London, Baptist
and Wesley American ractasociety publica-
tions.
! Every extract read showed that these in
dividuals all believed the law Of God is to be
obeycd by christians.
The elder having shown that all believe the
/
regard to the Sabbath, showing that it
teaches in language as definite as words in
the English language can be framed, that the
seventh day is the Sabbath.
! Dr.. Adam Clark says: ''The religious OBJ
servance of the Sabbath was the first statute
or command of God to man."
| Justin Edwards says: ''He set apart the
Sabbath kept it, sanctifed it, and blessed it
| for the benefit of all.
The words of our Savior were read III
Matt. 5:15-17, showing the perpetuity OF this
same law. Rom 3:19 shows that the law
takes hold of all, for all have sinned and are
guilty before God. Rom. 2:13 says: ''For
not the hearers are just before God, but the
doers of the law shall be justified" And
James 2:10-l2 shows that if we break one pre-
cept of the law we are guilty of breaking
the law, and that it is the law by which we
are to be judged.

A NEW INVENTION.

| M. S. Fox, of Fort Scott, is in our city
trying to organize company for the man
ufacturing new patent device for the fas-
tening of shoes 1t is Of his own invention.
| He claims for it that it is durable and orna-
mental, and can be applied to the front of
shoes in place of laccs or to the side OF shoes
! in place of buttons. He claims that while
laceing is tedious and laces break and but
| tons pull OF and buttonholes give way, and
goring gives way, that none OF those objec-
tions can be urged against his device. He
| claims that by reason of Wichita's public
spirit and enterprise, it is his belief that this
| is the best location to look
for an opening for factory in
his line believing that the citizens Of this
| city desire to encourage manufacturing, and
that his fastening can be manufactured here
as cheaply as any other city, from the fact
that the cost of importing the raw material
will not be of sufficient moment to add ma
ticle which could not be safe i'll regard to the
manufacture OF heavy goods.
Before bringing his device to the notice OF
our capitalists Mr.. Fox has interviewed ali
of our practical boot and shoe men as to the
merits, and they are unanimous in their opin-
ION as to the merits OF the same.
Neff Bros. state it is an excellent fastening
we would like very much TO have them to
handle.
J. Braitsch says: 1t is a success. /
don't see anything to hinder you from NAL
ing one hundred thousand dollars out of it,
Nj. c. c. Lewis says: II have no doubt
bat that millions CT them viii be in use as
soon as you get them on the market"
II. Hoffmaster says: 1T is success"
Samuel McCreary, practical shoe upper
filter, says: There IS no doubt about the
superior Advantages Of Fox's shoe fasten-
ing"
Wooiworth S Stearns and E. Chase and
Messrs Locker q Hindies pronounce il in
their opinion meritorious. With the univer-
sal endorsement Of our best practical men, it
seems that Mr.. Fox mas an enterprise that is
worthy OF the consideration Of our capital

THE HYPATIA.

The Hypatia club met night before last ct
the residence of DR.. c. E. Furley, North
Lawrence avenue. About sixty persons were
present and highly enjoyable and interest
ing programme was given. Some delightful
music was rendered by Mrs. Mccoy. A
pleasant little comedy, participated in by a
number of the members, proved highly en-
tertaining. For "Sea of Troubles it fur
nished no little fun. Mrs. Or. Furley, in the
role of leading lady, as an old-time original
blue stocking, displayed no little dramatic
talent. Miss Carrie Fisher and Mesdames
Martha Ceilings, Kanouse Clark, Mccoy,
Toler and Glenn made up the personel of the
''awful tragedy"
There were many other pleasing features
to the evenings entertainment, Mrs. Shields
reading very bright paper, Mrs. Lease an
original poem Of more than ordinary spirit,
end Mrs Toler Offering some keen observa-
tions and wise conclusions touching the
status of the woman question. We are sorry
that we were not permitted to hear the latter
gem of wisdom, for the soul of the witty
authoress and that of the EAGLES sage beat
as one on that subject. This all came second
handed, but was enjoyed with no less zest on
that account, if we except the serving of the
refreshments which concluded the happy
affair
