NEW YORK STORE CANDY.

The New York store did thriving bust
ness for while yesterday morning and
the little girls were standing in line for
several blocks waiting for turn. The
candy scheme was great success and every
family in the city got box, for those who
did not have little girl borrowed one
from the nelghbors. During the day
children might be seen as far south as
Lincoln street and as far north as the
Burton car works with box of New York
store candy. This wholesale making Of
presents will doubtless damage the candy
trade of other dry goods stores. Those
with big family of little girls will have
candy enough for the balance of the sea-
son, and one little miss seemed to think it
very hard that she would have to divide
with seven brothers.

Indians are well known to be able to 60
without food for a very long time, and to
possess also an astonishing capacity for de-
vouring enormous quantities Of edibles at
one sitting. One Of Capt. Marcy's men
named Mariana had suffered greatly from
hunger on one of his winter expeditions
On getting back to the fort he took lodg-
ings with Mexican, and Immediately or
dered bountiful supper, which he devoured
with exceeding gusto, and called for more.
After the second allowance had been dis
posed of, he smoked his pipe and related in
cidents of his journey to the family until
about 9 o'clock, when he began to feel hungry
again, and offered the hostess two dollars il
she would cook him another supper, which
she willingly did, and he again cleared the
board.
This he thought would suffice him till
morning. Accordingly, he lay down and
went to sleep. But in the night he awoke,
and, to bis surprise, found himself again very
hungry.
By this time the family were all abed and
asleep; the fire was out, and Mariana was
10th to disturb his friends; 50 for some time
he endured the cravings of appetite. Finally,
not being able TO stand it any longer, he
called out to the woman Of the house that if
she would only be SO kind as to get up and
cook him one more supper, he would give her
S., and promise not to trouble her again till
morning.
This tempting offer had the desired effect,
and he ate his fourth repast, which, as he
smilingly said, in telling the story, enabled
him to worry through the remainder Of the
night.
Some readers may incline to incredulity
but if it is considered that Mariana was a
half breed Indian, and had been trained to
their habits from infancy, his gastronomic
feats will not appear at all surprising

MISSOURI PACIGIC WRECK.

Last night about 10 o'clock the Missouri
Pacific enjoyed quite nice little wreck
near the Midland crossing. The outgoing
passenger struck an open switch and the
engine and a mail car went off the track
with some damage to rolling stock. The
engineer and fireman were somewhat
bruised, but scared more than injured
The stop was sudden enough to create
some commotion among the passengers.
1t took over three hours to get the engine
and car back on the track. While working
at it couple of fellows became so bolster
Gus as result of too much Christmas
that they were given over to the police and
soon after reached the calaboose.

CHRISTMAS AT BURTON CAR WORKS.

Christmas eve the Baptist Sunday school
had very pleasant time. The church was
crowded, many going away because there
was not even standing room. Not much
of program had been prepared, the chief

money was expended in booklets and
books. There were FIVE grades of presents,
awarded according to the attendance of
the different scholars. In addition to
these Rev. Nasmith and family were
kindly remembered with queensware,
shoes, $40 in money, and Mr.. n. received
from Wichita First Baptist church a suit
of clothes worth $40.
Christmas day passed off very quietly.
Games of ball were played forenoon and
afternoons; there were visiting. driving and
hunting.
At night the Presbyterian church was
crowded by the many desiring to witness
the exercises of that school. Quite an in
teresting program was presented. consist
ing of speaking, singing, ETC., by classes.
old and young. At the close of the pro-
gram some special presents were distribu-
ted by Rev. Robinson to the men,
bers of the Boys and Girls
society, also soma presents from teachers;
after which Santa Claus came down the
chimney in good old fashioned style and
delighted the assembled children by the
presentation of candy. oranges, etc, and
all went happy to their homes

A s.r.nr. r.t.,itv.

Tho report recently published that ths
Prince of Wales is suffering from IN almost
incurabie internal disease, brings into prom
inent interest curious historical f2ct which
might well give rise to q superstitious feeaing
in the royal family. Throughout the long
line of soyereigns and heirs apparent, from
Edward III to Albert Edward, there has not
been single instance in which the title OF
Prince OF Wales has descended from father
to son by the holder of it succeeding to the
throne In every case, one OF three things
has happened-the Prince Of Wales has died
before his father, or the Prince of Wales
son has died, or the Prince of Wales has had
no SON Never once has tho Prince Of Wales
become king, and his son thereby become
Prince OF Wales This would have happened
in the middle Of the last century, when
George II had q son and q grandson; but
Frederick, Prince of Wales, died, and his
son George never was Prince OF Wales at al,
but succeeded to his grandfather's throne as
George Ill Again it would have happened
in the case Of the son and grandson of James
II; but James himself was driven from the
throne, and the Prince Of Wales went into
exile with him and drank himself to death.
These were the only two occasions in English
history, before the present one, where there
were three generations in the direct line of
succession to the throne alive at one time;
and in both Of them the succession was Ia
terrupted.
Those who believe in omens, therefore,
may well believe that Prince Albert Victor
or Prince Eddie, as he is now fxmliarly called
in England-will never be Prince of Wales;
for that title can only be borne by the
eldest SON Of the sovereign. Queen Vic
toria is an exceedingly ROBUST woman Of 20,
and there is no reason whatever why she
should not live to be so or even 80, like
her grandfather. George III. She has never
had a severe illness in her life, and she has
always taken the utmost care Of herself. The
Prince Of Wales, on the contrary, inherited
good deal Of his fathers delicacy Of temper
ament, and as nearly as possible I'D Of ty-
phoid fever-a disease which never fails to
leave some organic sequelR. This internal
trouble, by which he is now reported to be
attacked, may very likely have been caused
by the fever.-Once a Week

MUSIC BOX DRAWING.

The drawing for the grand music box
came off as advertised at A. Katz's store
on Christmas morning at 10 o'clock. The
store was crowded with expectant ticket
holders. The drawing was superintendent
by Mr.. S. Dunkin. county clerk, and at
the suggestion of some one in the audience
it was decided that the fifth ticket drawn
should be the winning ticket. A little
girl in the audience drew the ticket. The
winning ticket is No. 17722. Mr.. Katz de-
sires the holder to call as soon as possible
and take the prize.

Mr.. John Walker. of Indianapolis, who
for two or three weeks has been stopping
at the Carey aud is en- route to Florida for
his health, is the gentleman who killed
the notorious outlaw in Indiana fifteen
years ago known as Bill Bodifer. Bodifer
was killer and thief, quite successful
in his line and had only once served a
term in the penitentiary. On getting out
he resumed business in his line with the
usual success. One night he invaded the
residence of Judge Walker and the son
hearing him armed himself and went to
the room. The thief made pass at him
with knife which was lodged and re-
piled to with shot. The intruder rushed
out of the house and at the steps fell dead
and afterwards was found to be the terror
of Indiana. Bill Bodlfer.

Yesterday Detective McMahan arrested

about six months ago Browder, who lived
near ElDorado with his tather-in-law, sold
team belonging to the latter, and in
some other ways also got some money that
did not belong to him. He left at the
time and the officers of the county were
unable to fnd him. The matter was
given over to McNlahan and he found him
at work near Bentley for farmer there.
He was turned oyer last night to an officer
from Butler county.
