Louisville has truly had great
time, and thousands of visitors have
shared her festivities from this as
well as many other states. Thous-
ands of dollars have been spent in
that city that would never have
reached it but for the celebrations.
And yet all this is due to the Com
mercial Cub, an organization COM
posed of young business men, who
put forth the necessary efforts and
added their time and money, while
the old fossils of that city sat back
aud cried that Louisville would have
to content herself this fall without
a demonstration of any kind. The
action of the Commercial Club in
this matter but shows the ability of
the rising Kentuckian, and not only
Louisville but the whole of Kentucky
should feel proud of such an organi-
zation. The young men of Kentucky
have it within their power TO be of
just as much benefit TO Che State as
the Commercial Club has been to
Louisville, but such ends can only be
accomplished by unity of action and
hearty cooperation, coupled with
untiring energy and pride that will
submit to no failure. kentucky will
take header soon, and the Louisville
Commercial Club will be the first to
give her a push, seconded by the 9th
CIR similar organizations throughout
the state.

THE REVIVAL PROGRESS.

As previously announced, Evangelist J.
II. Miller preached his first sermon at the
Emporia avenue Baptist church on We'd
nesday night. Nightly meetings have
been in progress over two weeks, and the
church was eagerly awaiting the evange-
list. He was greeted by good congrega-
ton and preached clear and striking SER
mon on Divine Love-" frqr John 3:16.
Some made request for prayers and others
manifested deep interest. Mr. Miller an
nounced that he would preach last night
Oh THE Worst Thing in Wichita"
Preaching service was also announced for
, O'Clock each afternoon. The attendance
yesterday afternoon was small, but those
present were well repaid by the earnest,
practical words of the speaker who urged
to increased conservation, and the necessity
of taking hold of Gods promises
of faith, and wrestling in prayer
until, like Jacob of old, the
christian shall prevail.
Last night, despite the threatening
weather, good audience was present and
listened with the closest attention to
very able and convincing discourse. The
text was Romans 3, xiii: For all have
God" Mr. Miller pronounced the worst
thing in Wichita to be sin. and proceeded
to treat it in its two-fold character, of sins
Of omission and commission, which he pro
nounced to be twin sisters of infamy. Sin
is destructive. 1t accomplishes u physi-
cal ruin; CO moral ruin (3) the deStruc-
ton of the life of God manifest in the
flesh" a. the eradication of all moral
good from the soul, and then seals the soul
with its own nature.
Mr.. Miller is "A large well formed man,
just pass the prime OF life, his hair and
beard slightly tinged with gray. His man
ner is at once natural and impressive, and
his sermons logical and full of sound sense.
A hearty invitation is extended to every
body to attend both the afternoon and
evening services.

HORSEwHIPPED.

Around about the corner of Second and
Main streets yesterday appeared to cluster
an unusually large number of Incidents
The morning opened with good sized dog
fight, in which bull terrier succeeded in
chewing up the hind leg of poodle; after
wards, on an opposite corner. two colored
men engaged in a lively set-to, and in the
afternoon a horse hitched at the corner
managed to get up the most interesting
and exciting runaway of the day.
Then in the evening came something of
an entirely different character, in which a
woman, for either real or fancied injuries,
horsewhipped man. In Justice Walker 8
court there was commenced by Mrs. Alice
Jeffreys yesterday morning suit
TO recover from Jack Thompson pin
which she claimed belonged to her Last
evening about o'clock Thompson was
standing in front of the Main Street
Theatre when Mrs. Jeffreys, coming up
Main street, crossed and approaching
Thompson commenced beiaboripg him
over the head and shoulders with horse
whip. He lodged around in every direc
ton to escape the blows, but they con-
tinued to fall in pretty rapid succession
for several minutes. How the fight ter
minated the eye witnesses differ, some
saying that Mrs J. stopped of her own
accord, and others that Thompson knocked
her down and took advantage of this
forced lull to disappear. Mrs. j., however,
afterwards marched away from the scene
of the engagement with an air which ex-
pressed that she was to some extent
avenged for the wrongs she had suffered

MISSED HIS MARK.

Yesterday afternoon about 2:3O shoot
ing scrape took place at the corner of
Douglas and Water which, but for the
timely interference OF bystander, might
have resulted fatally to one of the parties.
In yesterdays EAGLE it was stated that
some shooting was done on North Water
street. 1t afterwards developed that the
shooting was done in the Iron Clad and
the man who fired the shots was Jake
Pecora. Jake was on bender, and IN
such case is not a pleasant party to meet,
more especially if he has any i'll feeling
towards any one. He has bad habit of
toying with his pop and there is
no telling when or under what circum-
stances it islikely to go off. Succeeding in
terrorizing the inmotes of the bawdy house
at night: he grew holder during the day,
and burning with revenge and resentment
growing out of the shooting of BLACK
Jack" short time ago. he thought that
he would endeavor to make it at least in
teresting for Will Sparr, whom he thought
was the slayer of his friend. He entered,
then the West End drug store and APP
preaching Spar wild with excitement, ex
claimed, D. you killed Black Jack"
Inen coming nearer, He urcW HIS ie'oiNci
from his pocket told Spar not to try to
pull his as he had the drop on him, and
was evidently about to fire up him. Just
then Jim Miller jumped between the two
men, jerked Jake's hand, the pistol was
discharged, the bullet passing through
Miller's hand, leaving clearly
defined mark and buried itself in the floor.
Spar pulled his revolver but made no
attempt to use it. Officer James Antrim
at this juncture appeared upon the scene,
and taking the guns from the two men,
marched them off to the police station.
Spar there pleaded guilty to carrying con-
cealed weapons and paid S25 and costs.
Pecora will have his hearing this forenoon
at police court, and has already been ar
rested upon state warrant.

WEIGHING THE CITY.

Mr.. D. c. Williams, of Indianapolis, a
friend OF Mr.. J. G. Smith, is III the city on
prospecting tour. He is "a man " miles
and has seen nearly all the rapidly grow
ing towns of the United States, and has
not made it a custom to go through city
with his eyes shut, but travelled with a
calculating observation. OF the many
trade-centers he has visited he says that
none show as bright a side as Wichita.
The newness of the city and its daily dem
onstration of business from center 70
suburbs he has noticed and has down in a
note book for future reference.
Concerning the city he said: Wichita
has something new for man If he has
only been away day. No one not having
seen Ii can believe the statement OF plain
facts concerning the city II is much
greater than anyone not visiting the town
has seen aud men are disposed to be skepsic
on such questions"

W. II. HURLBUT.

The Baptist church WAS thronged with
people last night TO hear the evangelist,
w. H. Hurlbut, preach. The service was
opened by reading the tifty-fourth chapter
of Isiah. The evangelist read and COM
nented at the close OF each vease, and
claimed that great promises Were held out
to the church. All that was required on
their part was faith. He took for the sub
le0G of his sermon The Love of God. "
The sermon was listened to throughout
by the large congregation with deep inter
est. The evangelist spoke for nearly an
hour and a half, and the interest through
out shows he ability of Mr.. Hurlhut rs an
orator. The range of his Inodulation of
voice from a conversational tone 10 high
pitch is very effective.
He is sometimes like a gentle zephyr
that causes Il low murmur in the groves,
rs if its rich foliage were all engaged in
whispered conversation. and the fields
nearing the harvest time are twisted in
eddies or rolls away in gentle ripples like
the wavelets of noiseleSs lake following
each other in their noiseless retreat to the
opposite shore. Then he breaks forth in
all the fury of a cyclone that lashes in
fury the white-capped waves or plowS its
way through the forest, twisting great
oaks and uprooting and tearing to pieces
the monarchS of the forest that have stood
the storms OF ages. At the close of the
sermon nearly q dozen persons asked an
interest in the prayers of the church.
