TIE RIVERSIDE EXCURSIONS.

The neat cards sent out by the Riverside
& Suburban for an excursion over the
line, to leave the corner of Douglas and
Market at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
were quite successful in drawing out a
| crowd. The directory of the board of
trade, some of the leading members of
| that body, city council and officers and
county officers were extended an invita-
ton. There were about eighty who
occupied the three cars set apart
/ for the occasion. They were the
cars recently received and put into service
and the first thing on reaching the point
from which the excursion started was to
give general inspection of the case. They
were universally favorabiy commented
upon, and the next thing was to test the
travelling power. In a few minutes the
lime had arrived and the current
was turned into the motor The cars
moved gradually up Market and
rounding the curve for the park they were
allowed to increase speed, and going
through the park they skipped along at a
speed estimated by many to be fifteen
miles per hour. They continued the trip
rounding the curves and over the long
stretches of trade until the end of the line
| was reached at Alamo addition over
five miles from Douglas avenue. 1t
was typical morning for
southern Kansas and reaching
the end of the line the party had seen
enough Of spring and got enough OF the
spring air to make them feel happy ana
jubilant. After a few minutes general
chat they started on return trip, which
was made in twenty-seven minutes.
The party estimated they had spent the
hour very pleasantly and many seemed to
Tn nix that the system of electric
railway would ever play an important
part in atfording rapid transit in cities.
At = O'clock in the afternoon the COM
pany gave the newsboy, and boot blacks all
excursion. They had Assem- bled at the
rooms of the Y, W. {. I. A., and were con-
Quoted from their to the excursion car and
accl mpanied by few of the ladies. The
little kids seemed to enjoy the ride very
much, and 4 unt.ess like for it TO be re-
peated often.
The company will commerce today Civ

OBITUARY =

10 the Edltor OF Inc Eagle
William Sexton was born in Canada
November 8. 1919; he died in Wichita
April 8, 1899 In early life his parents
moved to Ohio, from there to Illinois,
where he married Jane L. Kelly. Seven
teen years ago he moved to Kansas and
lived here till he died. He was the father
of eighteen children. His health for some
years was failing gradually. He was a
patient and accomplishing sufferer He
retained his consciousness to the very last.
Brother Sexton had his peculiarities;
who has not? His faith in the word Of
God, especially during the last few years
OF his life, was subiimely childlike. lie
firmly believed that God would do what
he said, without any if nor perhaps in it.
He frequently sent for the write" and re-
quested me TO pray that God would heal
him and during devotions would respond
with such hearty and soulful amens that
one felt as if the heart beat Of the eternal
pulsated against his
After prayer he invariably said. Il feel
much better now, l believe that will get
we'll, and the next day would call at the
parsonage to repaet the prayer.
The name of Christ was the sweetest
name on earth to him. A sermon that
WAS not Astounding and saturated with
Christ had no food in 1t for him. The
preacher that held up Christ the most was
his man. He was always found in his pew
at church when AT all able to walk. The
funeral services were held at his residence
April 9th conducted by the writer and
Rev Nessley The house was filed with
friends and relatives. He was buried thus
early on account Of the limited time one of
his sons had to remain away from his
business.
Thus passed away another old Wichitan,
leaving a legacy of christian faith and
works more lustrous, enduring and valua-
bic than houses and land, gold or silver.
WHAT a heritage to bequeath to his numer-
Gus offspring, which we pray they may all
enjoy and appropriate while they larry
here below and by it gain an entrance
through the gate and right TO sit down
with him at the marriage supper OF the
lamb without one missing.

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.

Our readers will remember the quickly
following notices of the death of Prof.
CampbelPs young sister then Of his
brother. the principal of the Cleveland
high school. The following note was re-
ceiveo from the professor yesterday:
CLEVELAND, O., April "A, 1889.
10 the Edi or of the Eagle.
We had no intimation that brother was
SICK till We received the telegram Friday
afternoon announcing his death: We left
on first train and arrived yesterday after
noon. How sad Our other friends ar
rived about the same time from the burial
Of our sister, Miss Campbell, at South
Perry, O. The kind and devoted wife was
also attending the funeral of our sister.
and did not arrive till after his death. She
was Frustrated. but is bearing the terrible
shock with christian fortitude and trust
1t is sad home indeed this morning.
GEORGE E. CAMPBELL
sThe Cleveland Daily Leader and Her
aid contain long articles touching the life
and character of Professor Middleton S.
Campbell, whose death it seems was
caused by acute congestion of the brain.
The professors tutors and teachers held a
meeting. as did the scholars Of the high
school, both passing resolutions. He was
buried at his home. The following are
the resolutions passed by the teachers of
the high school, following a half dozen
affecting addresses:
1t is with deep feeling of personal be-
reayement in the loss of their beloved
principal, Professor NJ. S. Campbell. that
the teachers of the Central High school
desire to express to the surviving members
OF the family and to the public their sense
OF the loss we have all sustained
Mr.. Campbell was man happily adapt
ed to the public work in which he has been
for so many years engaged. With broad
outlook on the field of education his grasp
OF details was accurate and thorough, but
the qualities which constituted his crown
ing excellency was his transparent purity
and truthfulness, and warm and loving
disposition that disarmed and won over
the hayward, placed before all the high,
pure model OF a christian gentleman, and
drew to him not only the personal regard
bit the warmest love of his fellow laborers.
His family SO suddenly and deeply be-
reaved we would assure of our deepest
sympathy. Their loss is also our loss.
While we wonder at the Providence that
has thus suddenly snatched away in the
midst of such extended usefulness and in
huence, one to whom so many were so ten
Derby attached, we can only bow before
Him that doeth all things well with the
prayer that when our summons comes we
may be found as ready for our last change.
