MORE MONEY FOUND.

Police Officers Tom Mcnamara and Jap
Maralatt have been doing some nice detective
work on the GruetzmackerR Roster robbery
case and their labors were rewarded yester-
day evening by finding $40 more of the
stolen money at Greutnnacher's house, No.
SIG South Water street. They suspected that
Mrs Gruetzmacher had some of the money
or that they could find some about the house.
SO they swore out a search warrant and
armed with this authority they invaded the
premises. The old lady handed them a small
pocketbook and declared that was all the
money there was about the house. She went
out into the garden and left the officers in
side. Just then neighbor woman came in
and the boys told her to so out and tell the
old woman that unless she gave up the
money she would have 10 go to the pen with
the old man The.lady did so and it brought
the old lady to time She went down cellar
and brought up the pocketbook with sl4o,
and she admitted having given the lawyer
who defended her husband $40, 80 that ac-
counts for most of the money.

THE COFFEE MILLS.

The Royal Mills-the Wichita coffee and
spice mills are movingtf most satisfactorily.
The entire machinery including the roasters,
etc. have been running steadily for some
DAYS. The coffee turned out by the Royal
mills is simply choice if not unapproachable
roasting is so superior TO the old stove oven
that it seems like another product. Every
body in the city wants to secure the Royal
mills coffee ready roasted and ground Once
tried settles the case, You will never have
any other. This writer writes whereof he
knows for some of that same coffee reached
the tables of this establishment generally.

A SWEET SPIRIT FLOWN.

Yesterday morning the EAGLE contained a
mention of the terrible accidental burning OF
little Willie Wood, the 3-year-old step
child or daughter of Capt E. R. Powell Lit
tie Willie was burned far more severely than
we then knew. She suffered all throu Oh the
long hours of the oppressively heated night
and until yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
dreaded but ever merciful angel, fell across
little Willies life-path and her pain and spirit
both were gone. Little Willie, who had all
through the past year been great, an almost
indescribable sufferer from succession of
felons which very nearly destroyed one of her
hands, was very ETHEREAL and her eyes which
were of Heavens own blue, seemed continu-
ally appealing to you for sympathy. 1t was
only the day before her awful accident that
she, with those eyes, in our own home, was
thus looking to us. Her own father, we hope,
was standing somewhere on the confines of
the unknown to welcome his babe
with a love and with strength
and sympathy all sati>fying-that as he
caught the echo of the mothers falling tears
and felt the reflex OF her throbbing heart, he
may have rested his silver pillow in the shin
furrow of that bright far off field of Heaven
and caught sweet little Willie safely to his
heart and arms.
The funeral services will take place at the
home of the parents on the corner of Oak
and Emporia avenue at 3 O'Clock, conducted
by Rev. Adams, Of tht Episcopal church,
from whence the burial will take place.
A beautiful life is ended,
It's last sweet words are said,
And the memory of Wille's prattle
Is music that is dead.
But her life is gone forever
Its beauty past recall,
And we grasp, in our vain endeavOr,
A spirit-that is all.

SPLENDID WORK.

W. S. Rogers, the well known photograph
er, has become famous for employing the
best workmen. At present he has beyond a
doubt one of the finest crayon artists in the
United States as his work testifies. instance
the magnificent life sized portrait of the
editor of this paper which is on exhibition at
Col Jocelyn's office The work is beautiful
the likeness striking and the expression per-
feet The artist used no solar points in the
work, but did it off hand without any pre-
vious marks whatever on the card. The por-
trait is unexcelled and Rogers and the artist
have right to feel proud OF the work.

The gentleman who gave the information
respecting Dr. Shelley's connection with the
Wilson scandal at Mulvane, said yesterday
that he heard altogether a different story
about the matter, and one which
entirely exhonorates Dr. Shelley in connec-
ton with the matter. The whole thing was
nothing more than rumor. The doctors
reputation is well known in that community
and is above reproach. 1t is quite likely the
author of the runner WAS aa interested party.
Correct No one has ever had the audicity
to even think that the simple fact of the Ar
kansas running through the city cuts any
figure in the matter Of valuation, provided
that easy access was attainable. The bridge
and street cars will afford such access and the
Filth ward will now come IN for her share of

CORRECT ENOUGH.

The party that leaves this city Wednesday
for trip to Minneapolis, have employed Mr..
Whey, the painter, to draw up fitting dec
Grafton for the car.
1t is a painting on a canvass a la panorama
style. The first is a piscatorial scene. The
grasshoppers hold the camp on the rocky
bank of the river. Old Mr.. and Mrs. Grass
hopper are out on the river in dugout and
fishing for dear life. They have sort of
spoony look, but don't seem to be ashamed of
the fact. Some Misses Grasshoppers are on
the scene, but they have not yet donned their
Mother Hubbar,ls."
The second scene is the dandy of all. A
blue, spare looking gentleman with varnish-
ed cob pipe and loud stove pipe
hat is perched upon high
rock that hangs out over the river He has
an extremely wish could look and holds
a gracefully bending pole to which hook
and line is attached. A large and healthy
whale is basking but short distance from
his bait. He is harpooned and determined
crowd of robust grasshoppers are manipula-
ting the harpooning business and holding the
valuable fish from the bait thrown out by the
dispeptic looking lad on the rock. Well
now what does all this represent. The cob
pipe stove-pipe specimen represents Kansas
City. The mammoth whale, Wichita and
the band of grasshoppers, the fellows who
have contributed to make the city despite the
efforts of Kansas City to impede
her growth. The third scene
shows prairie hunting ground in which Mr.,
Grasshopper is shooting jack rabbits and all
the game in his section.
The decoration was pronounced by all who
examined it as one supremacy fitting and
well calculated to attract attention and serve
as an advertisement that will induce many to
come to the city.

The Next Supreme Judges.

The judicial convention assembled
in the House Of Representatives at
Nashville last Wednesday, and was
called to order by the Chairman of
the State Executive Committee at II
o'clock noon. Hon. w. L. Ledger
wood, of Knox county, was made
temporary chairman, and Hon. Il.
w. Ewing, of Giles, permanent chair
man.
The first ballot, which was conclud-
ed and announced about s o'clock, p.
m. resulted in the nomination of four
out of the five judges to be selected,
viz: Peter Turney, of Franklin
county; HI. II. Lurton, of GAINESVILLE;
w. G. Fowlkes, of Memphis, and w.
c. Caldwell, of Gibson county.
An adjournment was had until hall
past nine O'Clock, when the conven.
ton reassembled, the second ballot
was proceeded with, and resulted in

The Permanent Chairman.

Nashville Union.
The whole state is indebted to the
Hon. q. w. Ewing, permanent chair
man, for the example furnished yes
terday in the new departure as a
presiding officer. 1t was conceded
upon all hands that he performed
the difficulty task of presiding over
the convention with singular ability.
But in setting the example of pro-
ceeding to business, when he took
his seat, without giving the conven-
ton his views in extenso, as has been
the custom for time out of mind, he
is entitled to the thanks of a long-suf.
fering people.
Mr.. Ewing made large amount
of reputation and won golden opin.
ions yesterday, and from this day he
will be known as the best presiding
officer in the state.

JUDGE TURNKEY.

Judge Turneywas the only member
of the old bench who received the
nomination. Many thought Judge
Cooper should have been retained in
stead of Judge Turney, on account of
his being physically better able to
discharge the duties of the Office, and
so we thought. Judge Turney is not
only one of the very ablest jurists of
the State, but his great popularity
among the people would have made
him strong man for United States
Senator next year, had he not been
nominated. This fact was doubtless
very well known to most of the aspi-
rants to that office, and may have
had something to do with Judge
Turney's success in the convention.
While Judge Turney may be we'll
qualified for the Supreme bench, he
would doubtless make as much repu-
tatlon as q statesman. His father,
Hon. H. L. Turney, was an able law
yer and distinguished statesman.
He filled the Office of United States
Senator creditably, and the son, with
equal intellect and superior opportu-
mites, would have filed the position
equally as well as the distinguished
sire. Before a jury, eighteen or
twenty years ago, Col. Turney had
but few equals in the State. He is
an able speaker and would have made
his mark as politician, had he
turned his attention in that direction

airy, 1875, when he was appointed
Chancellor of the Sixth Chancery di-
vision by Gov. Porter, to fill the va
cancy created by the resignation Of
the Hon. C. G. Smith.
In August, 1876, he was elected
without opposition for the remainder
of Judge Smiths term of Office, re-
signing in January, 1878, his resigna-

ton of his former partner, Judge
Bailey to the United States Senate,

business which the firm had originally

in farming should know just what
crops to plant each year in order to
obtain the most profitable yield. He
should not only understand the ele-
ments which enter into the compost
ton of wheat, corn, grass, and other
crops, but should know what portion
or part of each of these his lands con-
tain, and what is required in theWay
of fertilizers in order to obtain the
best results. In view of these facts,
and in order to better qualify the
boys for the business of farming,
would it not be well for our common

try? We suggest, therefore that it
be adopted in all our schools, especi-
