IMPORTANT MEETING.
Everything or Nothing--Yes or No!

There will be a meeting tonight at 7:3O
o'clock at the Board of Trade rooms, to
which every property holder and business
man of Wichita is invited. There will be
matters brought out and statements made
which no man pecuniarily interested IN
this city can afford to miss hearing, and
matters which nine out of ten will desire
to express themselves about and vote upon.
The board of directors of the Board of
Trade of trade have appointed and author
lied committee to make a statement en-
bodying aproposition nofsuchmagnitude and
far reaching consequences, that the unani-
nous voice of the city's property holders
becomes absolutely necessary before an
other steps taken. 1t involves the ques-
tion of everything or nothing, of yes or no,
aud it will be final. No proper person
will be excluded, and no property holder
or business man would ask to be excused
from attending, once he understood the
Importance of his counsel and his vote.
The gravity of the situation is such and
the necessity for an answer SO urgent that
no time was left in which to send out per-
sonal notices, which explains this public
declaration.

OFF ON THE FRISCO.

The Garfield post held a meeting last
evening to hear the report of the committee
on transportation. 1t was stated that the
Santa Fe had found herself unable to de
liver the goods, and as result had taken
back the $14 rate offered on the previous
evening.
1t was stated that another road had
agreed to make a rate of SIS round trip,
while all the others held out for $3.50. 1t
was agreed to accept the S15 rate with the
understanding that that road will come
below that figure provided the other roads
decide to make reduction. The com
mittee on transportation did not seem
willing to give the name of the road max
ing the SIS rate until this morn
ing. it was generally understood
however, last evening that the Frisco was
the successful bidder for the business.
The number who will leave on Sunday
morning for Columbus and the east is
variously estimated to be between two
hundred and five hundred people. Quite
a number 90 who are not members Of the
Grand Army. Sedgwick City it is said
will join the post here with thirty men
and Conway Springs Will also do the same
with about fifteen Grand Army men.

EERss.Ss Postal Savings Bank system. Y

One of the features OF the government
Of Great Britain is the postal savings
bank system. 1t is very popular and Is
largely patronized by the public. Its uso
fulness is beyond all question. United
States Consul Walling, at Liverpool. has
been investigating this subject and has
given some very interesting facts about
its workings III q report to the secretary
of state. The beginning of the govern
ment postal savings banks was in 1861
under bill prepared and presented by
Mr.. Gladstone. 1t was entitled IAN act
afording additional facilities for deposit
ing small savings at interest with the
security OF the government for the due
repayment thereof" On the day of the
opening of the first banks under this act
435 deposits were received. One year
afterward the number had increased so
greatly that there were 2,535 Offices open
for the accommodation of the public. In
1886 the depositors had increased IN num-
Der to 3, 731, ,42l, and the amount of money
on deposit was 800. .S14. 33S. This in
American money would be $3.50, 600. 900.
Deposits of one shilling or any number Of
shillings are received up to $3.50 or ESQ.
The interest paid is y per cent. year
on every full pound. Should the sum
on deposit reach goo the interest there
on will cease until the amount has been
reduced. The government has made pro-
vision for the investment Of larger sums
in it's securities. The banks will receive
deposits from parents or other relatives
on behalf Of minor children. Married
women can also make deposits which are
beyond the control of the husbands.
Another feature of tho British system
is that the government guarantees the
repayment Of all moneys on deposit with
interest, and also any life insurances or
annuities granted under the act creating
these banks. The results Of the measure
Of Mr.. Gladstone have been such as TO
recommend II to the good viii Of the
people of Great Britain. That they DO
appreciate it is shown by their liberal
patronage. The cost Of maintaining II Is
very little, being about fve-eighths Of
per cent. The guarantee Of the govern
ment makes the system absolutely safe.
1t is IN every respect a well regulated
financial institution. Great Britain Is rot
the only nation which has these postal
savings banks. They are q feature OF
the American and Australian British
colonies. They have been engrHfted
upon the political system Of France. Ger

COL. JONES REMEMBERED
Presented With F1ne Cane by the Deputies at
the Manhattan Last Evening.

Some days ago the deputy marshals OF
| the southern part of the state under the
United States Marshal Col. W. S. Jones
decided to present their chief with a gold
headed cane. As result a very hand
some ebony cane with gold head on which
was engraved Col. w. S. Jones" was
secured and a trap set to catch the colonel
unawares last evening. He was told that
an old acquaintance of his would call on
him at his rooms at the Manhattan at Z
o'clock last evening. AS result shortly
before that time the colonel was at his
rooms enjoying an after supper cigar.
Before that hour the following deputies
met in the parlor of the Manhattan:
w. A. Jarrett, Daldwell, Kan; j. Ii. Var
deman, Sacred Heart, I. T.: f. NJ. Mat
thews, Usage Agency, i. T.; j. b. koonce,
Sedan, Kan; w. b. Martin, Sedan, Kan;
Bedford Wood, Wichita; NJ. King, Sac
and Fox Agency, /. T.; John Jones, Baxter
Springs, Kan; L A. Neal, l. 5. commits
sioner, Sac and Fox Agency, l. T.; S. L.
Stillwell Darlington, l. T.; Amos Chap
man, L. S. interpreter, Darlington, 1. L.
Jack Stillwell was made chairman of
the meeting, who in a few words referred
to the 'cane scheme" and that the colonel
could be found in his rooms in a few min
utes. The cane was examined by all, and
was quite satisfactory, being the very
finest to be found in the city. Mr.. George
+. Sharitt, chief deputy, was appointed by
the chair to make the presentation speech
in behalf of the deputies. BY this time 1t
was time for the ''friend' to visit Col.
Jones, and all marched in on him. Mr..
Sharitt was soon before the colonel stat
ing that they had called in ii
body TO leave some testimonial of their es-
TEEN for the kind and generous treatment
at his hands In his three years in that
position he had shown himself worthy Of
their confidence. and as a testimonial they
would present him with cane.
The colonel was somewhat surprised at
the outcome of the evening but took occa-
sion to thank his men for the handsome
present and also to assure them of the
implicit confidence he had reason to place
in them He had aimed to select the best
men for the positiaus and was well salts
fed with the results.
This completed the program to the
cigars and very fine quality was soon
being passed around. The colonel was the
recipient of many congratulations last
evening on his handsome present.

WONDERFUL FRUIT.

The adaptability to, and the productive
ness of southern Kansas, in several varie-
ties of fruit, are each successive of aston
ishment. Such grapes and pears as are
produced here in almost unnumb bered
varieties such plums, apples aud peaches,
as are seen daily would carry off the blue
ribbon at the fairs and horticultural expo
sitions of most states. Mrs. sAlfred Bais-
ley Wednesday evening pulled off twig
from pear tree growing on their home
place, which twig contained cluster of
seven pears. crowded together as closely as
they could grow. This cluster of seven
pears weighed five pounds and thirteen
and a half ounces, or nearly fourteen
ounces each. Two of them weighed over
one pound. In short, we never saw such a
sight in any country. Mrs. Baisly viii
accept our thanks.

THE OTHER BROTHER,
Joe Tobler Also Found Guilty of Murderin
C4Ss and GoOdykountz.

The time of the q. S. District court was
occupied up to o'clock yesterday with
the trial Of the young negro Creek Indian,
who was charged with the murder of the
two white merchants, Messrs. Cass and
Goodykountz, in the Territory on the
night of August 16, 1885. His older broth
er Jake had been convicted yesterday
principally upon confession made after
the killing. Today the younger one tried
to prove that he had no hand in the kill
ing and did not make the confession. The
jury however thought differently and
found him guilty of murder as charged in
the Indictment, after being out only about
seven minutes.
The circumstances of the killing were
reported in yesterdays EAGLE.
Joe Tobler, the younger one, is not mar
ried. but the older one is. He, however,
takes the result of his trial with more dis
play of excitement than his brother who
still remains stolid and indifferent.
AT four o'clock yesterday the court be
gan the case of Barney Cooper. a colored
Z. S. army soldier, who is charged with
having raped and killed an Indian sQuaw
at Fort Reno couple of years ago. He
was tried at the last fall term of the court
in this city but the jury disagreed. His
case will occupy the time of the court all
day today.
