FAANK BEARD.

Mr. Frank Beard, the well known carlo
aturist, last evening at the First Presby-
terrain church. appeared before a fair sized
audience. Mr.. Boards chalk talk CON
sisted of descriptions of the opposite eff
fects produced by angles and curves, vari-
Gus states of humor, and on the caricature
in general with illustrations. His rapid
strokes with caricature in general, with
illustrations in various colored chalks,
with ludicrous and grotesque results, was
the cause of much mirth. Mr. Beard per-
sonally has very keen appreciation of the
ridiculous. and his witticisms and pointed
remarks by no means added not little to
the success of the entertainment. He
satire, and especially the humorous fun of
the small boys" the speakers own joviai
face being enough to keep an audience in
good humor. One thing was noticeable
during the evening, and that was the
speakers care not to offend any one of his
hearers by any reference whatsoever, and
when the artist fancied himself led on by
his talk in rather close position, 1t was
most pleasureable to see the easy and
graceful manner with which he turned it
aside and continued in his discourse. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Beard was
for several years connected with Puck, and
is now reputed to be one of the best car
toonists of the country not only, but also
a very fluent lecturer. The audience was
a very appreciative one, and Mr.. Beard
may be assured that he will always be
heartily welcomed in Wichita.

wAS-HIS STORY TRUE?

Yesterday afternoon a young man con-
siderably under the influence of benzine
came: into the county attorneys office and
wanted a warrant sworn out for the arrest
OF a man whom he said had taken Sl11
and who was about to leave the city. The
that the money had been lost by J. H
Miller at the Union depot and was found
by the man for whose arrest the warrant
was wanted. But little attention being
paid to his story here, he went next to the
police court where he was told that the
absence of police alone prevented his
own arrest. Hethen spent the remainder
of the afternoon in seeking the assistance
of the police in his proposed arrest,

fore on South Mosley avenue. The charge
preferred against him was keeping bawdy
house, but in the evidence some startling
developments were made The two girls
who were arrested with him and were TO
be charged with being inmates Of the
place, were the principal witnesses. The
Younger. not over thirteen or fourteen
years Of age, told quite an affecting story
of how she was taken into the old man s
house under promise given her parents To
raise her up honestly and virtuously, and
of how he at last forced her into a
life of sin and shame His honor
fned him SO and costs, and expressed the
regret tina, he was compelled to Limit his
authority with this light penalty. Having
no money Gates was placed in the cooler,
where he was taken charge OF b the
state.
The Young man arrested the night before
for being drunk came into court, and pay

A PROMINENT GUEST.

Hon. J. X. Hudson, editor and proprie-
tor of the Topeka Daily Capital, accom-
panied by J. Is. Pmnham, superintendent
of the state house, arrived in town yester-
day, as the guests of Hon. f. B. Allen.
secretary of state, who put in good por-
ton of the day showing them around.
Major Hudson, although prominent
figure in Kansas history, and well posted
as to the states material development,
had not been in Wichita since 1874 Such
a lapse of time will enable him to form a
clear conception of the enterprise of our
people not only, but also of the POSSIBLE
ties of the city as measured by the accom-
pliShmentS of fourteen years. That his
Judgment will be favorable in spite of all
he may find to criticize, we have not the
least fear Fourteen years ago the echoes
of our prairies We're more often awakened
BY the pipings of the cowboy than by the
voice of the evangelist Dance houses aud
saloons, where the music of jingling
spurs, emphasized by the crack of
the revolver then caught the crowds,
where now the spires OF churches and the
pilasters and columns of universities and
colleges invite her citizens TO a better life
and more lofty ideals. That the Major
will take all this in, and much more, we
are satisfied for the simple reason, he
can't help it, That he will even 20 back
TO his home in the beautiful capital city of
our proud state more than ever impressed
with the states magnitude, and that
capitals Importance, We are persuaded. A
view of this great, grand valley, III con-
nection with its city, is an inspiration in
and of itself, and few there are who see
and fail TO feel. But, in any event, the
EAGLE welcomes 10 Wichita and 10 its
sanctum man who has shown his faith
in Kansas by so many years of honorable
and effective labor.

An Increase of the Surplus.

Four years ago, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, the Democrats declared in their
National platform and IN all their stump
speeches that a change of Administration
was necessary because the Republicans had
collected a surplus of Sloo, ,0Oo 900 from the
oppressed and suffering taxpayers of the
country. But the surplus is now consider
ably larger than that, notwithstanding the
fact that the Government has been under
Democratic control ever since the 4th of
March, 1885. May il not be fairly contcnded,
therefore, that another change is necessary
for the same reasonl This is likely to be
one of the leading questions of the cam
paign; and the people will not fail to hold
the Democratic party TO a strict account for
its failure to redeem the pledge upon which
it mainly obtained the power which it now
enjoys
