FELL FROM THE BRIDGE.

Quite a serious accident was last night
reported as having occurred at the Fort
Scott railroad bridge Joe Alexander, a
stonemason, was returning from his work
on the East Side to his home on North
Oak As this was near the Fort Scott
track he had taken the bridge to cross the
river. When about half way across he
slipped and fell backwards upon the
bridge and then rolled off into the river.
Here he lay for sometime unable TO move,
for besides being a man of over 80 years of
age be had III the fall badly sprained his
back. The water, however, was fortunate
ly but few inches deep and he at last
managed 10 have his cries heard by Of
fcer Hitzleberger. He in company with
Mr. Alexander's son ran to the assistance
of the old gentleman and soon had him
safely upon the bank and afterwards was
taken to his home.
The axact nature OF his injuries are not
known but are feared to be more serious
than at first supposed.

SHOP LIFTING.

Yesterday afternoon a young girl shop
litter was caught at the Wichita News
stand on North Main street. She has been
noticed several times to come into the
store and linger long, around the book
counter. One of the clerks was suspicious
of her and yesterday afternoon when she
came in he watched her very closely. At
last, when she was ready to leave, he
stopped her and demanded return of the
books she had stolen. This she refused to
do, saying that she had none about her.
a policeman as last resort was sent for
and Officer Burrows came in and she
handed over some periodicals that she had
in large sack which she carried. Have
you any more!" asked the officer, looking
at her. Yes, here they are" and she
pulled three magazines from out her
breast. Have you any others?" You
can run your hand up and see,' was her
reply. The officer took her at her word,
and as the news company did not want to
prosecute her she was discharged.

AMUSE VENTS
CRAWFORD TONIGHT.

CRAWFORD TONIGHT.
Tonight Janauschek appears at the
Crowford Grand as "Meg Merrilies !"
Her appearance here is one of the leading
theatricle events of the season and she
will no doubt be greeted with large au-
dience. The advance sale of seats is most
encouraging as the body of the house is
almost entirely taken. The supporting
company is most highly spoken of;while of
Janauschek herself it is hardly necessary
to say anything, so we'll and favorably
known is she wherever artistic talent is
most highly appreciated. The following
from the Philadelphia Item is, however,
added:
The enthusiastic reception that was
tendsred Madame Janauschek as she tot
tered on the stage last evening, hideous in
makeup in the tattered garb of Meg Mer-
rifles" must haYe been extremely gratify-
ing to the great tragedienne. who through
the force OF her talent and genius has won
place on the stage that in her retirement
it will be difficult TO fill. A well-trained
studious, hard-working actress. bringing
to every character the full force of her
dramatic power, she has done nothing bet
ter than Meg Merrilles." She has brought
to this character the results of hard years
of study and studious observation and has
breathed into it the breath of genius until
it becomes a living, breathing flesh and
blood creature in which the actress is lost
sight of, and only Meg" hideous, defiant.
loving, cringing and lorgiving. is seen and
heard. 1t is in every sense character
that will always live in the memory of
those who witness it. The melancholy fire
of those mysterious eyes, the low and awe
compelling tones of that deep, rich and
vibrant voice, grand and imperious force
and gesture, form noble and ideal en-
bodiment of lofty tragical conception.

WHITE CAPS.

A gentleman connected with IN import
ant enterprise which is being erected in
this city was, a day or two since, the
cipient of threatening letter from some
parties signing themselves white Caps. "
The. letter said that if certain kinds of
work on the structure in course of erec-
tiou were not let to Wichita contractors,
that the recipient of the letter would
never finish the work in hand.
The authorship of the letter is known in
the proper circles and whether the insti-
gators of the same are ever given any op-
portunity for executing their threat or not,
they will be given to understand by the
authorities, in a very thorough manner,
that they must not monkey with the
buzz-saw" in Kansas, especially in Wichi-
ia, Kansas, and that the best thing they
can do is to take tumble to the racket. !"

THE BENEVOLENT HOME.

| To the Editor of the Eagle.
! Permit ne In your paper to correct, if
! possible an error in the minds of some of
| our citizens regarding the charita bic
work of the ''W omen's Benevolent Home
and Hospital" Conducted by body of
! Self-sacritcing women, united to relieve
temporary suffering. 1t has ever been
| their pleasure to minister to such, and if
! the public would avail themselves of the

! journal they would discover long list of
names of those who have thus been helped
Many have been encouraged to consecrate
themselves TO better lives. Babes have
been provided with kind homes, and as far
as the directors have been able aid has
been extended to the needy, who have
gone out from our shelter. Of course the
design is not TO give permanent homes TO
anyone. The income is too limited, the
accommodations, heretofore too made
quate. Applicants stand ever ready
to fill the places of those who
are recruited. There are some
who cavil that We make charges
it all, say as the institution is called Be
nevolent" its administration should be
free. Here is where our work is misunder-
stood, we are doing it for charity's sakel
Giving freely where there is necessity, but
expecting help from those who are not
destitute. The house is for the accommo-
dation of all, hoping, however, that
lrteRuS VINO DrlnS IN patients Will De re
sponsible to the board of directors for a
sum adequate TO their means, correspond
ing as near as possible to the amount reg
ulated by the beard. 1t is hoped the time
is not very distant when some generous
person will furnish an endowment for the
institution, enabling the directors to fit it
up more comfortably and provide greater
efficiency in each department. We are
grateful for all past kindness, and hope
for continuation; may your gifts over
flow, for we need many. Chiefly we need
a COW; the monthly milk bill being heavy
expense. Cannot some one spare a cows
And will not others supply her feedi Sure
ly some one in the vicinity Of Wichita can
do this! We contemplate, in the near
future, a change of residence; who will
take pride IN helping US fit up: give US
encouragement? The hospital is needed,

you. MRS. VI. HELLAR,

MOZART CONSERVATORY OF MUSlC-PU-
Pills RECITAL.


On Monday evening the Lewis Academy
chapel was filled to overfowing. both au-
ditorium and gallery, there being at least
500 people present, while many were unable
to obtain admission or secure seats. Those
who were so fortunate as to do so were
well repaid as the program was one of un-
usual interest, each member being well re-
ceived by the audience. Space will not
permit us to mention each member sepa-
rately, but suffice it to say that the rendi-
tion of the program showed in a marked
degree the high standard Of study, and
thorough instruction which this excellent
institution offers. The work done thus,
far while the institution is yet in its in
fancy, certainly argues well for very
brilliant future and if we mistake not in
our predictions. the Mozart conservatory
of music is destined to become one of the
leading features of the city of Wichita,
bringing to her doors people Of culture and
refinement from all directions, and one
which will stand as a monument of pride
to the city, the enterprising board of trut-
tees and its unexcelled faculty of instruc-

last evening and will Immediately push
the same to completion, as his contract
provides that it must be done by the end Of
the present year. He is accompanied by
Mr. Chas. Correll, who will be the super
intendent CT the work. The sub-contractor
for the stone work has large amount of
material ready and On the way here, four
teen car loads of which will arrive here
this week and Immediately be placed in
position The fence surrounding the
premises is to be at once extended to
twenty-four feet into the street on the
south and east of the building.
There will be an interesting race between
the government building and the county
court house people to see which viii COM
plete their building first. The latter have
a slight advantage in that they have the
first story stone and brick work OF the
court house done. while only the founda-
ton of the Federal building is completed.
These two splendid buildings going up so
rapidly az the same time, will do much TO
convey to q stranger an adequate concep-
ton of what this city is soon TO be. yet
