that Port Townsend is going ahead

To the Editor of the Eagle

To the Editor of the Eagle
One thousand young men are wanted in
this city who are willing to put their
Christmas and New Year gifts into the
completion of the magnificent structure
at the corner of First and Topeka avenue.
One thousand gifts of So each. How that
would cheer the hearts of the building
committee Are there not that.bumber in
this city who are willing to make this
small sacrifice for the sake of young men?
You are planning gifts to dear ones dur
ing these glad days. Would it not be wise
TO Tor once say to these dear ones l am
making my Christmas gift this year to
complete this building Of which we are all
so proud.
Perhaps the only discouraging feature OF
this enterprise is the very small number of
donors TO the building fund. We want
the members interested. Young men who
are earning from SIS to $50 per month, we
want your subscriptions. Young men
who are willing to sacrifice for the sake OF
helping young men, we want your sub
scriptions Let us see how many 81 sub
scriptions we can receive during these glad
days of Christmas and New Years, and II
any gifts should be more than So even to
800 or $500 we rejoice all the more.
Shall not the responses to the appeals
sent out the past weeks be sufficient dur
ing the next week 10 warrant the build
ing committee in going forward with the
work of completing the building.

LOOKING FOR HER HUSBAND.

A petite lady dressed IN black and of d
highly respectable appearance was busily
engaged last evening looking for her hus-
band. She came into the Carey about $50
and afeer carefully scanning the register
asked to be shown to the room OF Mr.
This gentleman was accompanied
by his wife and child, and being known to
the clerk she was permitted to visit them.
She returned, however, in few moments
and stated that they were not the parties
she wanted and took her departure. When
seen by reporter she said that her hus-
band was likely to register by an assumed
name and she must find him. She WAS a
stranger, but knew that when be came to
Wichita he either stayed at the Carey or
took a furnished room and dined at spur
gins Buffet. She said she intended TO
watch for him tomorrow as she must see
him on an important matter. she believed
that he had deserted her for another but
she did not want him back. Her bust
ness was more of a financial nature
and she felt sure that be would not object
to seeing her. In answer TO the question
she said she did not need money for her
own purposes but it was necessary that
business matters should be Strengthened
up.
The lady seemed to feel her disgrace very
keenly and was evidently but little famil-
lar with the ways of the world.
The sympathy of the few who heard her
story was fully aroused but no one seemed
able to assist her.
Her feminine instincts enabled her to
detect what might naturally be IN the
minds of those present and in the most
artless manner possible gave her name and
address. She said she had been married
recently and had been deceived, supposing
her husbands affections were genuine.
Here she exhibited a marriage certificate
which was dated in October OF the present
year. She then took carriage and drove
TO her lodgings.

PENSIONS CONSIDERED.

A special meeting of Garfield post was
held last evening for the purpose OF con-
sdering the propriety of endorsing cir
cular issued by Governor Hovey, of Indi-
ana, president of the service pension COM
mittee G. A. R. urging upon congress the
passage of what is known as the service
pension bill. which provides that every
honorably discharged soldier, sailor or
marine who served for sixty days In the
war for the preservation of the union shall
receive pension of IS per month and IN
addition thereto one cent per day for each
day of service until discharged. Fearing
that this bill might antagonize the de
pendent pension bill" now before congress
which provides that pension shall be
granted such old soldiers as have became
disabled since the war, it was decided at
last nights meeting to give precedence to
the dependent pension bill andat the same
time endorse the bill advocated by Cover
nor Hovey, and endorsed by both the ma
tional encampments held at Columbus
and Milwaukee.

ROSES ALL THE YEAR.

The Missouri Pacific is presenting Its
customers with very beautiful calendar
for 1890 Each page contains pictures of
the principal points of interest throughout
its vast system. The artist and the trav-
eler have combined TO make the calen dar
beautiful and instructive. Sunshine beams
on every page and it drives away the
blues 10 look at il. There are a countless
number of roads in this system all leading
to health and prosperity. In looking over
these pages one can at least visit these
places in imagination. \ few words Of
interest concerning the Missouri Pacific
are sandwiched in by the way. The motto
for 1890 viii be Roses ak the Year
Among the ancients the rose was the SYM
boil of secrecy but in this instance the
Specification of the roses Will be more fully
determined as the season advances.

REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE.

A large number of the real estate men
met at the board of trade rooms last even
ing TO discuss the advisability Of organic
ing a real estate exchange in this city. and
to arrive at some plan of concerted action
in regard 10 these interests. The magnl-
tude and number of these transactions
warrant such movement, and until some
mutual arrangements are perfected the
real estate men will be laboring under
many disadvantages. 1t was unanimously
decided that the main and first stumbling
block to be removed was the army OF bears
and croakers. A great many who have
little or no property to handle want TO
play dog in the manger for some reason
and do not lose an opportunity to dis
courage buyers. Then again some who
hold property at high figures do not want
to see any transfers at reasonable prices.
A suggestion was made which mes with
general approval that the EAGLE should
be requested to publish on certain day to
be agreed upon fifty thousand extra copies
containing articles on agriculture, manu-
factories, packing houses, real estate
values and ali subjects of interest to
strangers. Different committees were ap-
pointed and the meeting then adjourned
subject TO the call Of the president, which
call should be made as soon as the COM
mittees were ready 10 report.

DON'T PAY BILLS

Last night about II o'clock there was
quite a disturbance on the west side OF
Main street near First. 1t seems that
business man of the city met travelling
men who claims to represent st. Louis
paint house, and the travelling gentleman
was asked to pay bill of some months
standing. He seemed to be very much
surprised that he should be expected to
pay his debts, and his surprise in due time
grsw into anger. They had rough-and-
tumble of it for . time, and finally both
got enough of 1t and quit for the night,
going home.
