The case in the library which is attract

who are eager for the magazines. Where
did you get them bound?" 1T is fine

present relief they propose having their
February dime social a pound social,
TUESDAY, February - and request large
attendance, and each one to bring pound
package of some kind of food for distri-
button among the needy. While it is no
doubt true that for a city of its size, there
is but little poverty in Wichita. 1t is still
true that those who through sickness or
other misfortune, have fallen behind in
the race of life, need help to regain their
independence, as much as though there
were more of them. Knowing the liberal
ity of our people, we make this appeal in
behalf of the worthy poor. Those who can
not conveniently attend the social, may
leave their pound at the rooms Tuesday
afternoon. The usual literary program
will be furnished by Miss Carrie Brown.

some legal business. His business was of
such character to allow his friends to

A GRAND ENTERPRISE,

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Comparatively few of our people fully
realize the energy displayed and the great
Inconvenience our fellow-townsmen
Messrs. Healy, Daisy and Crawford, have
been put to in accomplishing the grand
result which is so soon to be dedicated-a
result giving us the finest opera house in
the state. The lack of such house in the
past has kept the best of troupes away
from our city, and now that we are to be
favored with what is said to be the finest
opera company in the country, our people
should not only turn out in large numbers
for their personal enjoyment, but we owe
it to these gentlemen to show in a substan-
tial manner our hearty appreciation of
their more than ordinary efforts to add to
the wealth and convenience of the whole
city. WIN. ID. MCCORMICK.

CARLTON o. LEE.
For the Ia gle.

r or the Eagle
On the 18th day of January, 1888. the
earthly life of worthy citizen came to an
end Mr.. c. o. Lee came to Sedgwick
county in 1852 He settled on government
land. about four miles north of the city of
Wichita. He proved up his quarter sec
ton. and improved it, and resided on it
from this time until the day of his death
Mr. Lee was born in Waymart, Wayne
county. Pa, March 10, 1925. He was there
fore nearly sixty years OF age. Mr.. Lee
was married to Ruth A. COPYRIGHT, Feb
ruary IS, 1871. Their daughter, Martha S
Lee, was born January ., 1875. The wife
and daughter still survive, and reside in
the home north of the city.
Thus we briefly state the external events
in the life of man. whose example and
character are worthy of imitation. These
facts, however, convey very inadequate
idea of what the man was: and how true il
is. that the most worthy life may be found
among those whose names never appear
in public affairs
We are commanded 10 be quiet and to do
our own business honestly and faithfully:
to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with our God. This is what Mr..
Lee succeeded in doing. He did not
shrink from duty when it WAS necessary
for him TO act. At one time he was super
intendent of the Sabbath school in his
neighborhood, and was faithful in the dis
charge of his duty as citizen However,
he would never consent to accept political
Offices, although at times be was urged to
do 50.
In his last illness, which was Of short
duration. Mr. Lee was faithfully watched
over and cared for By his devoted Christian
wife and daughter. The funeral services
were held at his late residence On Weines-
day, January 18th: after which his body
was laid away in the new cemetery on the
hill overlooking the city. A large number
OF neighbors and friends gathered 70 pay a
tribute OF respec; TO jnst and honorable
man.
