ANOTHER STATE CONFERENCE.
The Missouri Valley and Kansas Unitarian Con-
ference In Wichita Next October.

Wichita's fame as an entertainer of all
kinds of state conventions or gatherings OF
whatever character, political, religious or
otherwise, has gone abroad and as the sue
cess attendant upon each state gathering
held in Wichita, has become known, those
seeking places for their next meetings in
tuitively turn toward Wichita, as the
Mecca Of conventions-in the west at least.
Her excellent and commodious hotel ac-
commodations and the genuine hospitality
of her citizens, coupled with the fact that
everyone who has read or heard of Wichita
is anxious to see this city, are among the
leading features that attract those gather
ings. with which we have, during the pres
ent year, been so frequently favored.
The latest conquest in this direction is
the Missouri Valley and Kansas Unitarian
annual conference, which has decided to
hold its next annual conference in this
city some time during the month OF Octo-
Der next. The membership viii consist of
delegates from all the Unitarian societies,
not only in the state of Kansas, but from
those in the cities of the Missouri Valley,
and viii constitute the most important as
semblage yet held by those societies in the

UNITARIAN MEETINGS.

The Unitarian meetings closed last
night. Liberalism" was the subject OF
Rev. Rogers sermon. 1t was a powerful
and uplifting discourse full of mingled
pathos, sense and eloquence in happy com
bination. He said the most illiberal man
he had ever seen called himself liberal.
He defined a liberal as man who was
able to see and appreciate all good where
ever found, on Pagan or on Christian
ground After the sermon Rev. Powell
stated the worth, character and object of
church organization.
In simple, but impressive manner,
Rev. Powell received four persons into the
membership and Christian fellowship of
the church, welcoming them to its duties
and joys.
Two children were dedicated by the rite
of baptism to the service of Christ. Sew
eral others signiied desire to unite with
the society in the near future.
Though the meetings have not been
great in size, the inspiration developed
among those who have attended was by no
means small or insignificant. They have
evidently been a great JOY and strength to
many.

HOTEL IMPROVEMENTS.

|. The Manhattan hotel, which about five
weeks ago went into the hands of Mr.
Robert j. Mckin, formerly of the old
fremont. has had an extension added TO it
by DR.. Robert Black. the owner of the
property. The addition is in the north
west corner, 2ix34 feet, OF brick, the
full height of the main building and fills
out the full size of the hotel proper, look
40 feet. The lower floor is devoted TO
gentlemen's closets, storage and fuel
rooms. On each of the two upper floors
are additional quarters for help, besides
bath rooms and closets. The whole is pro
vided with the most approved plumbing

INCREASE OF POPULATION.

While appearances are deceptive and ru-
mors cannot always be relied upon, yet IT
can be set down that the fair women OF
Wichita have ever proved loyal TO their
lords. Now it is something that can't be
said right out loud, nor so much as even
limited at with a wink but we will sug-
gest to our city assessor that 4 delay of a
few weeks just now in taking the census
viii show wonderful results in the footings
and from many unexpected quarters. We
are not guilty ourselves, for the umbrage-
Gus shades of the reost are as were the re-
treats of Eden before the serpent put in
an appearance, but all the same touching
many other homes. There are a hundred
doctors so confident that they would al
most undertake TO name dates. What the
assessor wants Is names and sex, as well
as dates, which even the parents can't
furnish just yet, and so we advise the cen
sus man not to be IN too big hurry.

A FOOT RACE.

Last night about o'clock a man came
rushing out of the alley just north of the
A. D. T. office and started down Main.
Those who saw him thought that the fell
low was murderer or at least fugitive
from justice; and this opinion was
strengthened when he was afterwards ar
rested on Douglas avenue by three police
men, The man was marched, in spite of
his remonstrance, down the avenue to the
corner of Water street where was assem-
bled crowd Of men.
It appeared that the prisoner was a
country lad and some of the boys had
gotten him TO run foot race for $40 a side
with Jack Green around a block. the
money was put up by the two mems
hackers, and it was while running this
race that he was arrested. He was de-
clared to be the loser of the rAce; and was
warned to flee the city for fear of being ar
rested by the police this morning and sent
to the jail He took the advice and started
out westward as fast as his legs would
carry him.

it was stated that a party by the name OF
Mike Webb, who resided at the corner of
Third snd Main, had at one time thrown
his wife gut of doors and more lately, had
taken laudanum because she refused TO
make over to him certain property, but
finding THAI such step did
not move his wife to tears,
Mr. Webb Immediately set about
finding some antidote and drank a quart
of cream. Not satisfied with this he took
an emetic and by the assistance of ply
stefan who prescribed. and friend who
walked him about for some time, he came
out all right. In fact he has so far recov-
cred as to be able to write the EAGLE a
letter on the subject of which the follow

NEW BcARDERs FOR THE STATE.

Sheriff Hays was off last evening for the
state penitentiary with John Curry and
John Alberto. Both of these young men
were sentenced by Judge Reed to one year
at hard labor for grand larceny.
Alberto was one of the gang of boys who
a few months ago broke into the cellar OF
Fritz Schnitzler and stole some fine wines
and liquors. He was tried for the offense,
found guilty and sentenced. His cempan-
ions in the theft all pleaded guilty TO petty
larceny and were sent to the county Jail.
John Curry is as well known as any
crook in this section. He has frequently
been arrested, but always managed to es-
cape punishment until this, his last effort.
He was arrested by City Marshal McNam-
ara for the stealing of gold watch from
the residence of H. Imboden. At first he
maintained his innocence and said he could
easily prove an alibi; but when the state
commenced to gather its evidence he saw
tsas rs was caught and so came into court
and pleaded guilty.
