TIE DAY IN WICHITA.

Governor Humphrey and Secretary of
state William Higgins spent yesterday in
the city, not leaving at noon as had been
expected Two or three hours were spent
in the forenoon driving over the city and
from the limited observation Governor
Humphrey was much surprised. 1t was
his first opportunity to see any of Wichita
and he expressed himself as heretofore not
ompreheuding what an important city
had been,built in the state of Kansas. While
having conceded that Wichita must be
wonderful city he had not expected to see
such immense packing houses, manufac-
turing establishments and wholesale
houses and many of the leading branches
of business that make great business, we'll
developed. He seemed to be more fully
prepared to comprehend the Importance of
the city and understand what the name
Wichita means. The Governor stated last
evening that he intended some time
as soon as possible to come
down to Wichita and remain two or three
days getting better acquainted with the
city and with the leading citizens. The
governor and Mr.. Higgins spent most of
the afternoon with friends who called to
see them at the Metropole.
They left at p. m. for Mcpherson.

THE Truth OF THAT FATALLY SAD AC


THE TRUTH OF THAT FATALLY SAD AC-
CIDENT.
Tothe Editor of the Eagle.
For some reason, many statements made
by several of the city papers concerning
the accident which happened at the
Franklin school. resulting in the death of
the son of W. M. Crosby, who resides at
Az Wildwood avenue, are erroneous: hence
at the request CT Mrs. Crosby and from a
sense of duty, these corrections are made,
as truth affords more consolation to the
grief-stricken parents and friends than
those imaginary statements previously
The facts are as follows: On the afternoon
of October ), while seated in the school
room the boy noticed sand burr on his
coat, and little-boy fashion he put iG in his
mouth and was going to give it puff.
While initiating his lungs for this purpose
he accidentally drew it down his throat.
The boy began to cry and upon investlga-
ton was advised to go home by his teacher.
A physician was at once summoned,
but as nothing could be done short of
surgical operation he concluded that the
intruder would work itself out in a short
time. Mrs. Crosby informed me that the
boy experienced no great pain or suffering,
as was stated by paper, and was conscious
till death, which occurred on Monday
morning. He simply manifested great I'M
easinesS and anxiety.
Such statements that the boy imagined
crOss-cut saw IN his throat and the father
digging the grave for the remains are
wholly ungronnded. The parents tender
their sincere thanks TO his classmates for
flowers contributed, and also to the friends
for their kind service.
In behalf of the school would like to say
that the pupils never INDUCED in such de-
lIghtfui amusement with sandburrS as
was stated by paper, and would be pleased
to have West Side quoted straight hence
forth Respectfully,
