Temperance Union will be held in Garfield
park, Topeka, on Monday, Tuesday and
"Wednesday, June II, II and Is, 2SsS. Every
church, Sunday school, temperance society
or other organization in sympathy with
the cause of temperance Is entitled TO three
delegates in this annual convention. These
delegates should be selected at as early a
date as possible, ana proper credentials
sent TO the secretary.
The delegates elected and individual
members of the union constitute the con-

conventions have never been exclusive.
All friends of prohibition, whether dele
gates or not, are earnestly invited toattend
the meeting and participate in its pro
ceedings.
An interesting and attractive program
will be presented, embracing addresses by
Mrs J. Ellen Foster, of Iowa, Judge ;. ..

Miner and other speakers of renown.
Officers for the ensuing year will be

duced railroad rates, which will doubtless
prove successful. Due notice will be given
through the press of the rates secured.
The unprecedented success of prohibi-
ton in Kansas has been achieved by vigi-
lance, and after achieving such splendid
victory we ought not relapse into apathy
and indifference. The State Union re-

a temperance sermon or hold some kind of

or an earlier date. if preferred. The min
listers are especially urged TO direct the

cooperation of temperance people through
out the state in making this convention a
success. I. S. MCCABE, President.

AN ECLIPSE.

Mr.. Ed Moore has very serious grew
lance resulting from his bad luck at the
opera house on Monday evening. 1t may
be best stated briefly in his own words:
The stage was totally, not partially,
but totally eclipsed by lady's hattie
latest fashion-this springs layout in that
line as he intimated. 1t was low behind
and got higher by steps or benches / be-
lieve it is in mountain language. At first
look it resembles spur of The Rocky
mountains viewed from the plains, but a
second glance confirmed later experience
that it was not spur but the principal
range of mountains. Thus eclipsed, only
the noise on the stage and that vicinity
constituted my part of the entertainment"

ARRESTED ON A GRAVE CHARGE.

Last evening as Officer Charley Bur-
roughs was coming over to the city from
the west side he was attracted by quite
crowd who had gathered near the Maple
street bridge. He alighted from the car
and soon learnt the cause of the trouble.
Ayoung man named Rousey, who has
for some time been driving the town herd,
was, according to the statement there
made, guilty of a very grave offense. Yes
terday be had gone, as before, about two
miles into the country with the cows, and
in the afternoon seeing two little girls,
daughters of G. C. Moreland, of More
lands dairy, gathering wild flowers in the
prairie, he enticed them to him by promises
of candy, and having them in his
power took indecent liberties with their
person. As soon as they could be released
from the Young rascal they run home and
told their mother of the occurrence.
One of the men about the house took the
older, about nine years of age-the younger
being not oyer six, and went to look for the
person who committed the act. The little
girl upon seeing Rousey Immediately
recognized in him her defiler Young Rou-
seY started to the city and was followed
soon after by young Moreland. 1t was their
meeting near the Maple street bridge that
caught Officer Burroughs attention. More
land was provided with a lariat and revol-
Yer and was about to take sum-
mary vengence upon Rousey, but
chum Of the latter, boy named Husey,
stepped between them and took the revol-
yer from Moreland. The timely arrival
OF the officer and the arrest of ROusey pre-
vented any further disturbance.
In the meantime quite crowd had gath
cred and as soon as they saw the boy Husey
take 50 much interest in Rousey they be-
gan to think that he, too, was implicated
in the affair and called upon him to give
himself up. This he refused to do and
started down the river as fast as he could
run followed by four or five men. Down
the river to the W & w. bridge went
the boy and his pursuers;
here they crossed and came
up the west side. AT last just as he was
about to climb fence in West Wichita
yard he was caught; but even then for
sometime managed to hold his pursuers at
bay by the use of wagon spoke. He was
at last overpowered and given over to
Officer Smith to be locked up in the city
prison.
The party in pursuit seemed to think
this land one of the guilty persons and to
the lack of cartridges and to the failure of
a revolver to fire he perhaps owes his
life. Officers Burroughs, however, is in
clined to think that he is not connected
with the crime, as Mr.. Moreland had told
him there was but one implicated.
Young Rousey denies the charge and says
that there is absolutely nothing in it. He
has already had somewhat eventful
career. 1t may be remembered that it was
he who some time ago fired the shot that
killed young Lawson. His next adventure
was riding wild horse into a party of
children at Lincoln street school house
yards, injuring several and breaking the
legs of one. Next he came near putting
out the eyes of a six-year-old child of
Deacon Wise, and now comes his arrest for
this charge. He is now in the county Jail
and will be given a hearing, it is thought,
tomorrow.

MIR. KEERAN'S SUCCESSOR.

BY the resignation of Mr.. keeran, the
position of ticket and passenger agent of
the Missouri Pacific was vacated Who
would be his successor was matter of no
little conjecture. Quite a number of ap-
plications were made for the position. but
the appointment was given to Mr. Z. h.
Bleckley, formerly Mr.. Keeran's assistant.
Mr.. Bleckley, though but short time in
the city, has succeeded in making many
friends and showing himself to be a COM
petent railroad man. He assumes the re-
sponsibility of his new position under the
most favorable auspices and with the best
wishes of a number of friends.

DECORATION DAY.
BY SAILIE Z M'NEAL.

By SAILIE NJ NEAL
This morn, glory-given sun
Smiles on peaceful land
1 heard the booming OF a gun,
The music of band:
l saw the flowers, the grand display,
And knew twas decoration day.
The children came with eager hands,
The maiden in their bloom,
And 20 the music Of the band
They sought each soldiers tomb
Such heroes, in land like ours,
Should have, at least, the rarest fow'rs.
The sleep; and many watchful stars
Look down on them tonight,
Recounting all their wounds and scars,
And death, defending right;
And while our star-set banner waves.
Shall We forget their humble graves?
