IRON CLAD BURNED.

For many year the most notorious
and most disreputable house in Wichita
was known as the Iron Clad" 1t was a
two story frame building covered with
sheet iron and stood on the west side of
the alley between Douglas and First and
Main and Water streets about the center
of the block. If fire was to take it, ii
should have gone long ago before it
had seen its years of iniquity.
1t, however, was preserved through all
this, and some months ago was put to a
more legitimate use and has since served
as a warehouse for the Wichita carriage
works, which are located at the southwest
corner of First and Water. The building
was stored full,of well seasoned and primed
buggy and carriage stock, which cannot
be replaced very easily. At 1875 this
morning an alarm was turned in
by Officer Badger from box "a
at Douglas and Water. All of the depart
ment turned out promptly, No. 2 getting
on the ground first. Both the ones ana
twos soon had streams playing and al
though when they reached the ground,
the entire inside seemed ablaze, they soon
had the fire under control.
The stock which was valued at $1,000,
and was insured for 5000. will prove a
total loss. The building valued at $500,
was insured for 500. The building and
stock belonged to Mr.. NJ. A. Mckenzie,
proprietor of the Wichita Carriage Works.
1t could not be ascertained this morning
in what companies the insurance was
carried.

THE LAWN SOCIAL

The lawn social of the Reformed congre-
cation last evening was big success. The
spacious, pleasant grounds of Mr.. B. F.
Yohe were beautifully lit up by Chinese
lanterns; chairs had been taken from the
church; fire large tables had been provided
for refreshments which were crowded till
a late hour. a large quantity of ice cream,
cake and lemonade was consumed. netting
the church quite handsome sum. The
projectors of the entertainment are thank
full for the liberal patronage given by the
general public. The Yohe family left
nothing undone to furnish delightful
evening to their guests, and should be
happy TO know that their efforts were ap-
preciated by all The sunfower decora-
tons and the plan OF mating their visitors

district composed of Barber, Harper,
Clark, etc. and the former a delegate to
the Republican state convention, who
came up yesterday, called last evening.
These gentlemen bring the most encour-
aging report of affairs in Clark county
touching crops. the business outlook, etc.
Mr.. Heron startled the habitues of the
EAGLE ssnctum by the announcement that
Clark county's first choice fer governor OF
Kansas is Murdoch, and that the delega-
ton proposes so TO vote. While waiting 8
more epportune time to make the proper
acknowledgement of such unexpected
honor we wonder what all the dozens Of
real anxious candidates for that position
have been doing that they have not been
looking after so strong Republican hold

NEWS FROM CHICAGO.

The local interest in the proceedings of the
Chicago convention was greater yesterday
than ever. Every bulletin was eagerly
read by hundreds Of people, among them
many ladies. The same good order that
was noticeable on other days of the con-
vention was very prominent. Every can
didate had his admirers in the crowds,
but there seemed to be gen
eral feeling that unless the conven-
ton makes a nomination today, it
will be Blaine, and very likely Harrison
for second place. Democrats all concede
this would be a strong ticket and they
watch the bulletin boards with quiet
anxiety, hoping that the convention may
blunder into some terrible mistake-but it
won't, though. Their fondest hopes were
flown when Depew withdrew. Then they
saw they could not cry monopoly, mo-
nopoly."
Considerable betting as to who
who would be the nominee. Blaine being
the only one named against the field, on
this several bets of 800 side were made.
A prominent Democratic county official
offered on the 18th inst. to bet 500 to 500
that Cleveland would be elected. A well
for his 500, but the prominent Democratic
county official was silent. A strange coin
cidence is that their surnames are the
same.
An expression which originated during
President Hayes administration, when he
was appointing so many Ohio men to of
fees was this: "There are no MOBILES but
Romans and-Ohio men," An Ohio man
Yesterday called attention to the fact,
Ohio has not only produced a great many
men who have held high positions in the
nation, but that she is the mother of can
didates in the Chicago convention.
John Sherman is a native of Lancaster
county.
VIM. B. Allison was born in Wayne
county.
Russell G. Alger was born in one of the
counties of Garfield's old district in north
ern Ohio.
Gen Benjamin F. Harrison first saw the
light of day at North Bend, Hamilton
county, near Cincinnati.
jeremiah Rusk is a native of Paines-
vile, Lake comfy.
VIM. Mckinley. who was an awkward
country boy, known as ''big-eyed Bill, u
is also another native OF Ohio.
She is also mother of presidents,
themselves to such an extent as TO endan-
ger the ''Old Dominion's' claims TO that
title She has given every Republican
president except Abraham Lincoln.
Grant, Hayes, Garfield were all born in
Ohio. President Harrison was another
native of Ohio.

The great game OF base ball which the
windy Hutchinson and Newton teams had
arranged to play in this city yesterday
afternoon did not come of. No notice 70
that effect was received until yesterday
morning. when a letter was received al the
EAGLE Office announcing that the game
had been postponed On account Of rain, .
which everyone knows was too thin an ex-
cuse However. no one was disappointed,
as the $50 purse scheme was considered a

they wanted simply to fiji IN soma open

discontinue its weekly afternoon meetings
for time-during the warm weather-and
to meet every two weeks in the evening.

THE RING WAS Nor 100 SMALL.

Mr.. Chas. Mossbacher, the ieweler, who
was reported as having had to cut ring
from his finger, because it was too small
TO take OF, says that it was mistake. He
explains the circumstance of cutting off
the ring By saying that while grazing his
horse Wednesday evening the animal
kicked him on the hand causing it to
swell so badly that tbs ring had to be cut
from his finger. Although badly bruised
and terribly swollen Mr.. Mossbacher,s
hand is not broken and is improving
slightly.
