CHRYSAN THEMUM FAIR.

The Chrysanthemum Fair is growing in
popularity and last night the hall was full
to OVERLOOKING. The genial ticket agent
was pleased to announce to the ladies that
the receipts were just double the preced-
ing evening Tonight additional chairs
will be arranged in the center of the hall
in order to seat still larger number.
Quite number of the plants are already
sold but in order to give purchasers a
better chance to select their specimens the
hall will be open this afternoon. 1t is
hoped to dispose of the entire lot before
evening. The Italian band was again in
attendance and the music was the subject
of much favorable comment. This even-
ing the performance on the stage will COM
mence promptly at O'Clock. Last nights
stage performance was very amusing and
generally appreciated and the vocal selec-
lions were loudly applauded. The black
face sketch was presented causing much
merriment. Mrs. l.. T. Even sang, in
costume assuming all the airs of prima
donna, ooh how delightful !" She re-
sponded TO several imperative encores and
the audience seemed never to tire
Mrs. Shepard gave a delightful
Irish recitation which met with a full share
of applause.
Mrs. +. p Hovey, always favorite, sang
Il wandered down the mountain side, y
receiving several rounds of applause. Mrs
Coen then sang Il think of thee,' the aI-
dience showing its appreciation by hearty
applause.
Mrs. Gillia Smith is the chairman fol
this evening and will direct the stage en-
tertainment.
The following programme has been pro-
vided for: A farcical comedy in one act by
Mrs. Shepard. Mrs. Hovey, Mrs. Bush,
Mr.. EcsteiD, Mr.. Stice and the celebrated
tragediau, Mr.. Oliver The play Will be
followed by tableaux representing the fol
lowing subjects: Pygmalion and Galatea
Marguerite; Faith; Hope, and Charity.
The success that the fair is meeting with
is quite beyond the expectations of the
most sanguine but not beyond that which

OUT IN WESTERN KANSAS.

j. w. Gregory. editor of tie Garden City
Sentinel, who has taken such an interest,
and, in fact, leading position in the move
to irrigate Western Kansas, a number OF
whose comprehensive articles the EAGLE
has reproduced, spent yesterday in the
city. When asked with reference to the
promise of the scheme of conducting a
stream of water from the overflow of the
Arkansas river regions he informed us
that so far the success of the enterprise
had surpassed all expectations. Govern
ment can find fine field in Western Kan
sas. one much more profitable than the
digging out of sand-bars in navigable
streams. for the expenditure of sur
plus money. If sufficient supply
of water can be reached IN the underfiow,
which few doubt who know anything
of the river or the valley, all western Kan
sas could be made to blossom as the rose
every year without regard to rainfalls,
drouths or hot winds. In short, if you can
but give that region, whose soil is but a
mari of inexhaustable depth, all the water
it wants for irrigating purposes eastern
and central Kansas as fertile as they are,
would probably be left in the lurch when
it came to agricultural statistics. w hat
that would mean for the commercial life
and prosperity of Wichita need not be en-
larged upon.

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.

CRANFOtsD 0EsAND.
Zanzic, the magician, will make his APP
pearance at the Crawford Grand on Sun
day evening next. This man Of wonder
performs feats that seem to be superhu-
man and is regarded with awe by all who
have seen him. His reputation has
brought him to the notice of even kings
and all magicians call him master. Much
of his work is the result Of long and con-
tinuous practice, study and research. He
really does what to every one who sees 1t
is absolutely impossible, and which is only
ACCOMPLISHED by himself by reason OF his
own cleverness and of phenomenal de-
velopment of manual dexterity.
BURLEIGH COMBINATION.
The Burleigh Combination opens for
three nights and Wednesday matinee
commencing Monday, Nov. 18th, at
the Crawford Grand. The "Cou-
rier,n Buffalo. has the following to say
The wonderful, mysterious, romantic
comedy drama, Escaped from the law"
was produced last night to a crowded
house by the Burleigh combination The
play is original in plot, intensely interest
ing from first to last, and highly sensa-
tional. The comedy is bright and incl
dental TO the production, catchy songs
and dances are introduced. We cannot
recall a play in which we have been so
deeply interested.
AMONG THE BREAKERS
Among the Breakers" will be pre-
sented at the Crawford Grand on Thurs
day evening next, November p, by the
ladies of the st. John guild for the bene-
fit of the church. A very general interest
is felt in this production and it is pretty
generally understood that it will be a
grand dramatic exhibition.

GILMORE's SoLOIsTS.
The soloists contained in Gilmore's band
are the very best artists in their various
lines, and have no equals for their work,
while not player in the whole band
could be replaced advantageously. They
are simply the best company of artists
ever organized. and having played so
many years constantly under the personal
instruction and direction of MIR. Gilmore,
are in thorough sympathy, and work to-
gether like some great organ under tho
control of master hand. November %.

CHANGE OF STOCK.

MesSrs. A. NJ Davis and n. F. Hartzell
have sold their interest in the Wichita
Cracker company to Messrs. Geo. w.
knorr and Geo. W. Bergman, who are
now figuring around the cracker plant
with an eye to business. Mr.. George d..
Gehrig, who has been in the company ever
since it started, holds his interest and is
president with Mr. Bergman treasurer and
Mr.. Knorr secretary, The new members
of the company are well known in the city.
Mr.. Bergman. for some time connected
with the Mercantile company, and Mr..
Knorr for over six years in the grocery
business on East Douglas avenue. They
have spent years in handling crackers to
some exte Mt and now propose to take les
sons in the manufacture and figure on
some OF the early profits.
The cempany's business this year has
increased rapidly and the plant is the only
one of the kind in the state. As strange
as it may seem. of the many cracker
factories that bobbed up in many places
in the state two or three years ago, the
Wichita cracker factory is the only one
that is being operated. They have six
travelling men on the road who take in
Kansas, western and southern Colorado,
part of New Mexico, Indian territory and
northern Texas. The plant at times has
been compelled to run at night to keep
orders filled. The daily average of -four is
about twenty-five barrels and fifteen hun
dred pounds Of sugar. The output in
cludes seventy-five kinds of crackers, and
in the candy department about five hun
dred varities of candy. The pay roll shows
about fifty names.
1t is thought within a few months some
additional machinery will be added and
capacity increased. The railroad rates
favorable to jobbing trade for Wichita has
given quite an impetus to the business,
and they are enabled to make improve
ments according to demand without any
fear of adverse legislation or decisions.

ELECTRIC LINE EXTENSION.
The Riverside g. Suburban people 9

The Riverside & Suburban people are
very much interested in finding out how
they are going to get down Market street
to Williams since they have the franchise.
The City railway have a line in the cen
ter of the street according to franchise
and intend to pave and operate it in con-
nection to one of the lines in the south
part of the city. The electric people will
be compelled in the absence of compro-
mise with the City railway to go on one
side which would call for removing the
pavement and much work on general prln-
ciples and much kicking of property own
ers in particular The double track per
Torrance down the narrow street In front
of the government building would not be
looked upon kindly.
The guague being different in the event
of an agreement third rail would be
necessary. This would give an
electric current near the mules and should
one thrown his tail up, the electricians say
it might be taken by mistake for trolly
wire and the mule be introduced to sur
prise This, however, is not regarded as
serious objection.
The Riverside people hope to be able to
operate the line to the Santa Fe depot by
the first of January next. 1t is thought
the new passenger depot will be completed
by that time, when the business would
commence for the extension.

RAD DAY FOR DOGS.

Yesterday two very valuable dogs were
unnecessarily injured. During the after
noon Mrs. Baldwin reported to the city
attorney that man without any reason
or provocation had shot at her dog, fine
Newfouudlander, and that he would prob
ably die. She did not care to swear out a
warrant but thought the city ought to
protect her property.
A few minutes later in front of the New
York store dog belonging to George
Homer attempted to wipe up the street
with Cash HeDderson's mastif. A lively
fight at once ensued and none of the by
ISLANDERS thought it prudent to interfere.
Mr.. Homer coming on the scene few
minutes later took out his pocket knife
stabbing Mr.. Henderson's dog in the side.
MIR. Henderson soon arrived and had city
and state warrants sworE out for the ar
rest of Mr. Homer. The mastiff is seri-
eusly hurt but may recover. Considerable
Indignation was expressed by the bystand-
ers and it looked as if free for all would
follow. The arrival of the police in due
season put an end to the mat
ter. AS soon as it became noised
around how comprehensive the city ordi-
nance was on the subject of dog fighting
it was di cult to find an eye witness.

THE FRAUD DETECTIVES.

The city and county officials in almost
all departments are receiving letters
almost daily from nearly every state in
the union asking about this that or the
other soft snap and sure thing detective
association. In the city, according to the
l-test information, there are about twenty
different detective badges. Each have
headquarters, or possibly properly speak
ing rendezvous, and two or a half dozen
hang out for the last hour or two of the
night and the forenoon. The sure-thing
robbing of these ranches has been known
by many for some time, and the rogue
gallery in many cities seemed to be lib
orally represented.
The recent arrests, it is hoped, will have
a tendency to relieve the city of some of
that species of toughs. From the tendency
OF the letters it would seem that most of
the gangs have been guaranteeing
brains and experience for $40 and
Il badge thrown IN, and also
crowned with a pass to do business
everywhere. Some of them say they have
failed TO ger the tin badge and some more
of the suckers want to know really if they
have the power 10 do all they claim and if
the big dark lantern head letters mean
anything. The letters are so common
that they cab almost be picked out and
thrown in the waste basket before being
opened.
The authorities having the matter in
hand it is thought will be able to separate
the honest men and dead beats in the bus
mess and give the average man chance
for his life, liberty and property in due
time
