IMPORTANT ARREST.
Over IS, 900 OF Counterfeit Gold Said to Have
Been Dumped in the City Recently.

Last Sunday night a man considerably
intoxicated was arrested by Policeman
George Dennis and landed in the cooler,
giving his name as Sam Brooks. On his
person was found $50 in gold, two tens and
the balance in five dollar pieces. This was
not considered suspicious until short
time afterwards two men were charg-
ed with handling counterfeit gold
money and stated they got the coun-
terfeit of madam at Five Points
The police visited her and she admitted
having passed the money, claiming to
have done so in good faith, and said she
got it of a certain man, giving his descrip-
ton, which was observed to call for Sam
Brooks. She was taken to see him and
asserted positively he was the man. Thus
it was thought the man arrested for
drunk might prove to be a very much
need individual.
Brooks" had sobered up yesterday but
refused to give any talk on the situation
and was sent to the county Jail for further
consideration.
1t was observed yesterday that there is
large amount of counterfeit gold money
in circulation, one of the leading bankers
placing the amount not less than 5000

AN ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY.

Among the many beautiful and striking
Christmas displays made in the stores of
the city that OF the enterprising firm of
Busch & Grover, of the Kansas Market, on
North Main, is especially deserving Of
mention. This firm, which has been recog-
nized as one of the leading wholesale and
retail dealers in meats in Wichita, had
decorated their place IN a most artistic
manner From the racks on either side OF
the room were hung in quarters ten
dressed beeves. the finest and
latest that could be secured in
this county. An arch was built across
the center of the room and from this were
suspended, in the the center, small calf,
and on each side four pigs and six calves,
ali of which were dressed in peculiarly
artistic manner. Beneath these hung
three muttons, the most striking OF the
whole collection. upon the back OF the
centre one was wrought IN red, Wichita

LITTLE BUSINESS TO-DAY.

The board cf trade rooms will be closed
today and no business transacted there or
meetings held. The county and city
Offices will also be closed as well as the
monetary institutions. Most of the bust
ness establishments will be open few
hours in the morning, and then closed for
the day.
But glance was necessary yesterday to
observe that Christmas was near at hand.
To say the sidewalks on every business
street were crowded would be putting it
mildly. 1t was impossible to remain on
the sidewalk and 90 faster than the crowd.
Any effort at an increase of speed would
call for many blunders, many excuse me,
please" and result in a disgusting failure
Hence it was quite natural to see fellows
leave the sidewalk, rush to the side of the
street, and skip along. The walks on side
streets were used more than common.
owing to the rush. One being on the cor
ner of Main and First and wanting to go
10 Emporia and Douglas would go out
First street and down on Emporia. The
drive ways were filled with carriages and
wagons and the most impetuous had to
conform to the regular speed.
The business establishments, as would
be expected. did an immense business. 1t
was a days trade highly in keeping with
the usual run of holiday trade. In many
places the regular employed and all assist
ants who could be secured were not able
to attend to the business promptly.

For the Eagle.
THE CHRIST.

And the wise men knew by the star that shone
That the Christ had come to earth,
II CLEANED silent sentinel
Ger the place Of the young kings birth.
But the SHEPPARD g cried the light the star,
And fell TO the earth in fear.
When the angel spoke from the holy light:
The SAVIOR OF earth Is here.
And he grew-just meek and lowiy.
With the power of God at Will
Though they saw the good that he could do.
Their proud hearts doubted still.
They longed for cleaning spieador-
For the sword and the frebrand,
And they would follow TO the death
When the king should give command
But this man Stunned all earthly pcmp.
Tho offered three times thrice;
Refused TO tuy the grand wide world,
His soul 10 be the price,
And the people stood and marveled-
As yet they did not know.
That 10 raise the dead greater thing
Than wear q crown below.
But those who should have known him first
Were first him TO refuse.
They longed to see jeweled crown
Bedeck the king Of the jews.
When Knocked. despised and tortured.
With heart, oh friend Ike you,
He cried: o God forgive them,
They know not what they do.
When the multitudes OF earth had come
To watch the Savior die,
'Tis safe to say that none rejoiced
To hear that parting cry.
When pierced the gloom that daEkened earth
That wall from calvary,
Ny Godi my God why hast thou
Forsakeu even me,
IT'S safe 70 say that none rejoiced
To hear that agony.
For God had touched them thro' the gloom
That lay on cavalry.
But now the pain is forgotten,
And only remembered today
To tell Us how gladly he suffered
To y ash our sins away,
And the bells peal forth in honor
OF the day that the babe was born.
For thro' MS love there came 10 earth
Peace and 2. Christian morn.
