LEE ARRESTED AT HUTCHINSON.

| In yesterdays EAGLE mention was made
OF the attempted capture of J. W. Lee in
| this city under the impre ssion that he was
Fernand Poupart, the young man wanted
| at New Orleans for ENLIGHTENMENT. As
soon as he had disappeared from the city
| the search was kept up and he was finally
located at Hutchinson. But before the
| necessary steps could be taken for his ar
rest, City Marshal Haynes was notified
| that Lee had been arrested at Hutchinson
| and was being held there The city mar
shall Immediately telegraph ed the marshal
of Hutchinson TO hold the suspected man
and he would come and get him. Haynes
| intended to have left last night, but was
| on account of other business compelled TO
delay the trip until this morning.
The crime which the suspected man is
alleged to have committed is stated
in the circular sent out by New
Orleans detectives to be the
stealing February II of so, 500 in securi-
ties from the Cotton Exchange of New
Orleans pawning the same at the banks
Fernand Poupart, the name given of h
thief, was employed as confidential clerk
to the treasurer of the Cotton Exchange
and was assisted by a clerk employed in
the building named George Penser.
To the account Of the crime is added the
following description of Poupart, which
all who saw Lee will readily recognize as
his: 'Twenty-eight years of age; 5 feet
inches tall; 135 pounds weight; slim build;
dark complexion; dark eyes; dark hair thin
on top of head dark mustache; when last
seen wore dark business suit and derby
Ia,. Oh IL
creole. THE picture too which.accompanies
the description if not Lees, is that of
man who bears striking resemblance to
him.
Developments will soon show if Lee is or is
not the man wanted. If he proves TO be
Poupart it will be the arrest of one of the
most wanted young men Of the country at
the present day.

AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

Last night the regular revival services
under the leadership of Rev. Hurlburt
called together large congregation After
the Introductory singing and prayer he
took his text from Corinthians 1922. If
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ
let him be Anathema. The theme was
Future Punishment Fact" The speak
er commenced by saying that it was re-
markable fact that God looks favorably
upon the human race and provides way
Of escape when man so insults Divine
warning and instruction. There is only
one remedy for escape from future punish
ment. ''He that climbs up any other way
is thief and robber" The one way is
Christ, Jesus says Il am the way" To in
sure admittance through that way we must
have love:the doctrine of future punishment
is ignored by many. That, however, does
not change the fact. Justice demands
punishment for sin, and God, my dear
friends is just and infiexible. God forbid
that should dodge the truth and tell you
the plain and unvarnished message Be
honest with yourself and with promptings
world who will san lion man who lodges
tIubH tudu YOU tulHh- safety Ut
ponds upon Gods justice.
The only W y of escape is to give your
heart to Jesus and come now. God help
you my dying nearer to come THANK God
for strength 70 tell you Of the blessed way
of truth.
During the singing which followed the
sermon quite a number came forward to
the front seats and some rose for prayers
of christian people.
The meetings for today are at $50 a. m.
$50 p. m. and at 7:3o p. m.
The subject for this evening will be
"How does Future Punishment Gomez"
and the subject for tomorrow evening will
be "Why do Men Take Future Punish
