Nicolas Rich, an italian living on
Acequia street, who has figured in
the newspapers of the city before, in
an attempt at poisoning himself and
another party, was found i'm an uncon-
scious condition yesterday about
noon, lying on his delivery wagon.
He was at first thought to be drunk,
and was taken home and laid ON a
bed and left to "sober off" but at
night becoming no better, and not re-
gaining consciousness, a physician
was sent for and he pronounced the
man as suffering from brain disease,
probably con tracted through excessive
use of liquor. His friends say Rich Is
not drunkard is not even drink
ing man, and they think he must have
taken poison with suicidal intent, and
taken an overdose. He is very much
in love with certain woman, who he
has recently learned is engaged to
marry one of his countrymen, a more
successful business man.
Rich is all right today and will soon
be out

THE RING CATCH.

Col. Emmett Callahan was tackled by a
rather nice looking fellow yesterday on
Main street, near Second. who opened up
his performance by stating the colonel
was an extremely good looking fellow.
handsome in the eyes of the ladies and
brilliant which would attract his fellow
men. His conversation was quite inter-
esting to the colonel, but finally reached
the climax just before the announced
that he was financially dilapidated and
would like to have five. He offered as
security a ring presented him by his
mother and before he would take the five,
Callahan must promise on his honor to let
him have the ring back when he presented
him with the FIVE, for he by no means in
tended to allow the precious present to get
beyond his reach.
The layout was just such one as the
colonel had met in Chicago, June IS,
where he got ring for five with prom
ises of five to come to him next day, but
did not come and the ring lost its gold ap-
pearance promptly. He told the stranger
his former ring experience and concluding
it was smooth. went into the business and
for his friend to work Douglas as he had
started on Main. Rejecting on the matter
the colonel says he don't know why the
ring fellows tackle him so often.

1t is undeniable that the Toler stock
farm, located at Tolerville, four miles from
Wichita, is coming into prominent notice.
Undoubtedly some of the finest bred horses
in the west are to be found in the stables
of II. G. Toler. His catalogue for 1890 is
in press which gives the strain and records
CT Ashland Wilkes, John Steiner and
Wichita Chief. The latter is a colt of great
promise and splendid pedigree. His blood
when summed up is the Belmont through
Nutwood and American Star, the Hamil-
tonian Mambrino Chief through Volun-
teer and Administrator, the Black Hawk
Morgan and Bashaw through Flying
Cloud 1874. This is great blending of the
blood that trots in one horse. Blood will
tell.
John Steiner composes the Hamiltonian
cross through Almont Abdallah and Adj
ministrator with Mambrino Chief, Clay
and Pilot, Jr., blood combined in one.
Surely this young horse should sire great
speed.
AS for Ashland Wilkes he has already
a national reputation with a record of 2:22,
the record of his sire being 1926, Ken

MISS JEKYLL, THE ARTIST.

Miss Emily Jekyll the artist, of the
Garfield University, is at home again and
at her studio after several months of alb
sence. Much of her time has been spent
in the art school of New York City, where
she has been familiarizing herself with
new methods as taught by some of the
most eminent sketchers and colorists Of
the country. and she expresses herself as
being exceedingly gratified with such an
expenditure of time and money. The
heated term was spent on Curtis Island,
opposite Portland, Maine, one of the most
delightful resorts in the world. The spring
months were spent in the wilds OF Maine,
sketchIng from nature, which made up
another profitable period Of the summers
work. During her absence she visited
Boston, Washington and Cincinnati art
galleries, giving to each all the time and
study desirable in connection with her
plans. She saw great many new pictures
and has been profited by great many new
ideas impaired by artists and caught up
from their works, and she returns to her
scholars better equipped than ever for Gull
tivating in others appreciation OF the truly
artistic. For the present at least, Miss
Jekyll will be found at the University,
where she will be glad no doubt to meet
her old pupils and to greet her many
friends

MEETING Of CITY TEACHERS.

Nearly all the teachers in the city schools
We're present yesterday at the monthly
meeting held at the high school building.
DR.. Stevenson superintendent, presided
and in his address give the teachers his idea
of their part in the examination. They were
to aim to impress on the pupils that the
examination in and of itself was not to as
certain, proficy or scholarship, as that
information could be gained daily by rect
tations. Insist that little effort should he
made to prepare especially fer the exami-
nation but the work should be made daily
preparatory to recitations.
He gave instructions about the manner
collecting the donations of Thanksgiving
for the benevolent institutions and urged
upon the teachers to present the matter to
the pupils in such a way as to get dOna-
lions from all who were able to be repre-
sented in that work. On Wednesday after
noon each school will have Thanksgiving
exercises which promise to be quite in
teresting.
Prof. Young, who has charge of the de-
partment of music, addressed the teachers
on certain features of the work. He urg-
ed upon the proper drill for students.
Prof Dayis, of the high school, give
some instructions showing how to develop
au interest in scientific work by very easy
experiments with apparatus costing but
little.
Miss Eberlen, who has charge Of the pen
marship, give directions for instructions
that department emphasizing it as an art
with elements of beauty, legibiity and
rapidity.
