WICHITA IN HISTORY.

John S, Gilmore, editor of the Fredonia
Citizen, who called yesterday says when
employed on the Emporia News, in ls6s,
then published by the Hon Jacob Stotler,
he set up and printed circular in May of
that year, for E. II. Durfee, who was at
that time an Indian trader and whose store
was located on the present site Of this city
The circular was printed on Nonpareil
of the News and now United States sena-
tor. The iobber is now owned by Newt.
Mcdonald, editor and publisher Of the
Burlingame Chronicle. The circular, a
copy of which Mr. Gilmore still retains,
sets forth tina. the name OF the trading
place is Wichita" at or pear the crossing
at the junction Of the Great and Little
Arkansas rivers, on the Usage reservation
in southwest Kansas. 1t is probable that
the name Of this city first appeared In print
in that circular-Wichita Daily Eagle.

the circular and about the form in which

Judge Gresham would renounce his citi-

a citizen of Illinois. in view of the cold
shoulder the Indiana state Republican
convention gave his presidential aspira-

of the Chicago Inter-Ocean it would
seem that the aforementioned transaction
is done. Says that paper: ''lliinois
never yet presented the name of a man

The spirit of harmony and consequent
unanimity that has pervaded the Repub-
lican party of Kansas and actuated it
IN its policy and work, continues and
grows and intensifes. This was no less
notable in the Emporia convention yes
terday than every other meeting
throughout the state. That today's con-
vention in this city viii be inspired by
the same sentiment is guaranteed in adj
vance. Party success is the first and
chief consideration with every loyal and
true Republican and to that end let the
watchword be 'sthe best men for the

The Doctor Was Angry.

A certain learned doctor who lives in
Peoria, like the rest of his soothing and
scientific brothers, has no more use for
these faith cure people than a pig has
for soap and towels. He is partly deaf,
and as a joke he recently went to wo-
man who cured by faith. cit is not you
that are deaf" began the oracle, cit is
your ears" This almost staggered the
doctor. IT can make you hear" was
her next confident announcement. She
made the usual passes and then told
him to put his watch to his ear and find
out if he did not hear it tick. He had
not been able for years to hear his
watch tick, but he pulled bis watch out
and as the fob was short he leaned over
and put it to his ear. Sure enough he
could hear it. 1t Was marvellous, but 1t
was true. When he got home wonder
ing much and humble he took his watch
out and found that lac could not hear.
But when he bent over he could hear 1t
ticking. Evidently the rush of blood to
the head when i'll that position quick
ened the organs in his ears 1t was
simple enough, and NO faith cure in it
at all. The next day he saw the faith
curer again, and told her she had cured
him, but he had to stand en- his head
to hear. well, you hook better on
your head than in any other position, -
was her nngraclous answer. And he
was ungallant enough TO reply that he
would look better standing on his head
than she would.

How to Prove the Earah's Motion.

ANY one can prove the rotary motion
of the earth on its axis by simple ex-
pertinent, for making which an educa-
tional journal of Frankfort, Germany,
gives the following directions:
Take good sized bowl, fill it nearly
full of water. and place it upon the
floor of room which is not
exposed to shaking or Earring
from the street. Sprinkle over the
surface of the water coating of lycopo-
dunn powder, a white substance, which
is sometimes used for the purposes of
the toilet, and which can be obtained at
almost any apothecary's- Then upon the
surface of this coating Of powder, make
with powdered charcoal, astraight, black
line, say an inch or two inches in length.
Having made this little black mark with
the charcoal powder on the surface of
the contents of the bowl, lay down upon
the floor, close to the bowl. stick
or some other straight object so
that it shall be exactly parallel
with the mark. If the line happens
TO be parallel with a crack in the floor
or with stationary object in the room,
this will serve as we'll. Leave the bowl
undisturbed for few hours, and then
observe the position of the black mark
with reference to the object that it was
moved about, and to have moved
from east to west, that is to say, in
that direction opposite TO that of the
movement of the earth on its axis. The
earth, in simply revolving, has carried
the water and everything else in the
bowl around with it, but the powder
has been left behind little. The line
will always be found to have moved
from East to West, which is perfectly
good proof that everything else has
moved the other wav.

For His Stomach's Sake.
New York Cor. Chicago Herald

New J Ork cor, chicago herald.
Sam Harrison, young man who has
been glass eater In dime museums for
years, is in Bellevue Hospital. He is
Ill of acute indigestion. The trouble
was caused by his abnormal diet. His
glass-eating, nevertheless, was in a
measure tricky. His performance con-
sisted in taking goblet, passing it
around among the spectators to let
them be convinced that it is genuine
glass, and then biting out large mouth
1uls from the edge of it, which he
e1unched and ground between his teeth
and finally swallowed. Witnesses of
the feat usually watched for evidence
that he kept the broken glass in his
mouth, and waited for an opportunity
to spit it out, but he always wound up
by drinking ,copiously Of water, in a
manner which seemed to preclude such
retention. Harrison is SO sick from the
disorder of his stomach that he win
not return to the museums, and so he
was willing to tell how glass eating was
done. The goblet was not glass. but
was composed of a transparent. brittle
composition of islnelass, and the differ
ence could not be detected by an mex
pert examiner. The substance was
pretty hard, however, and chaw it as
he might, it went into his stomach in a
state not at all conducive to health.
Gradually it brought on gastr1tis, and
this is what ails him now. He will new

port which is brought to him between
Lado and Dufife, on the Upper Nile,
that a race of dwarfs inhabit mountain
caves to the west of Beden. They were
said to be only 40 inches high, of a
brown color and Of great agility, to eat
white ants and roots, and to shoot with
very small arrows which are poisoned
and very difficult to extract. The pig
mics he was inclined to regard as the
remainder of dwarf population which
ages ago spread itseli over Central
Africa. Four years later he himself
comes upon some specimens OF the
Aka, a pigmv people, divided into
numerous small tribes, who lead
nomadic life in the Monbuttu country.
One of these Aka had reddish but
rather dark skin probably dirt, was
very prognathous, rather swagbellled,
but exceedingly nimble. His height
was feet inches. His whole body was
covered by thick stiff hair, almost like
felt, which was especially thick on the
breast" A girl Il years of age meas
