Arms. Children While TRAVELLING

A lady starting on a long journey with
two children placed in her satchel some
pieces of cardboard, scissors and lead
pencils. After the novelty Of car riding
had worn off this wise woman produced
her treasures. One child cut the card
board into pieces three-quarters of an inch
Equare, the other printed on each square a
letter The alphabet was repeated many
times. Then each formed words from the
letters and gave to the other to make out.
In this way they amused themselves for
hours.
The mother might have taken the.game
from home with less trouble to herself,
but well she knew there would be more
satisfaction in making it for themselves.
Paper dolls were cut and extensive ward
robes fashioned from bright colored paper
that had been thoughtfully provided. At
the end Of the journey the passengers de-
clared the children wonderfully we'll be-
haved, and wished they might always
travel with such happy little people. The
fact was, the children were ordinary chill
dren, but their hours had been 80 pleasant
~ occupied there had been no opportunity
for becoming weary and then disagreeable.

up home with five cents left. Just below
my boarding house stood a man with
hand organ playing the LAST Rosa Of Sum-
mer." Somehow it suited me-the organ
wasn't such bad one-and gave him the
five cents and told him 70 play me i've
cents worth Of the Last Rose" He said
he could play Annie Rooney and lot OF
other things, but held firm TO the one;
and so he came under my window and
played the Last Rose through i've times,
while sat up in my room and felt sooth-
ingly sad and sentimental
Now, see what got out OF that doIarl
First, "a little journey in the world" on the
elevated and in the stage, where l made,
some amusing observations on various peo-
pie; then a touch OF the aesthetics Of life in
the flowers, a glimpse into the fashionable
world in the park, touch of elegant hv-
ing from the swagger restaurant, taste
of the finest literature in Lamb, a lesson in
art in the picture galleries, hint Of wealth
in the possession Of q few stamps l didn't
need, the luxury of charity in the five cents
l gave away, with a touch of nonsense st
the last in the organ grinders music. And
there was only one thing left undone that
! really wanted to do-to SIT up on street
chair and have my shoes BACKED But
that l did not dare.-InuervieW in New

favor of Peerless lodge, No. 271.
A large delegation of members from
Wichita lodge No. . were present and as
sisted very materially in adding to the
pleasures gf the evening.
Both before and after supper games of
different kinds were in progress which en-
abled the boys to get better acquainted.
Among the visitors present we noticed
Messrs. J. H Hayford, o. j. Taylor, W.
A. Minick, R. H Vorpahl, c. J. Call, H.
J. Wagner of FL Dorado, NJ +. Smith, c.
Z. Welsh, o. E. Weller, Thomas G. Will
son, J. T. Schoonover, A. II. Jackman and
many others. a large number of these de-
clared their intention of soon becoming
members of the order, and all expressed
themselves highly pleased with the treat
ment they received
At the close DR.. J. W. Minick made
neat little speech in which he spoke of his
pleasure at seeing so many present and en-
joying themselves so well, and called at
tention to the advantages and pleasures of
the order and hoped all present would yet
become members.
Next came a song and social chat was
INDUCED in until late hour.
Peerless lodge No. 81 has certainly ad
ded large number to its host of friends
and will add not few members to its roll
as the result of the banquet.

THE HOLLENBECK CASE.

The interest in the HOllenbeck case in
the district court is still undated. The
court room was crowded the entire day
yesterday and the arguments of the attor-
neys were listened to with wrapt atten-
ton. Mr.. Morris for the 7 Osecution
closed his argument a few minutes before
6 o'clock, when the case was given to the
jury. As soon as the jury had retired
there was no end of speculation regarding
the verdict and how long it would take
them to come to a decision. Small crowds
of men awaited on the outside discussing
the merits of the case and tried it over and
over again. There was not a single in
cident Of the trial that was not recalled
and discussed in detail The Lucky and
Lock trials were also reviewed and every
imaginable theory advanced regard
ing the affair. Midnight came and still the
same anxiety was manifest and only a few
were willing to 90 home and wait for the
morning to learn the verdict. At two
O'Clock this morning the jury showed no
sign of uneasiness and those in waiting
had nothing to reward them bnt their own
speculation. Madame Ogburn was con-
spicuOusly absent from the court room
Yesterday afternoon and was probably
worn out with listening to the long chain
of evidence Late IN the evening it was
reported that she had moved from the
friends house where she had been stay
ing and was visiting another friend on the
opposite side of Market St. Her strange
mode of living and the many wild rumOrs
that have been atloat regarding her fabu
Ious wealth create quite an interest in her
and her movements are closely watched
and commented upon. Her ability to fOrtell
future events and pry for hidden things
is firmly believed by some and they are
momentarily expected that she will make
use of this power and unravel the mystery
surrounding the whole matter. 1t was re-
ported yesterday afternoon that she was
acting strange and that she showed signs
of going into a clairvOyant state. Late in
the evening it was reported that she talked
in such a way as to throw some further
light on the subject but it could not be
definitely ascertained whether she was
prompted by her natural senses or was I'M
der the influence of a clairvOyant spell.
The whole matter was a profound secret
and supposed to be of much moment.

INDUSTRIAL HOME.

The Humane society is losing no time in
securing suitable place to establish an
industrial home for girls. The committee
was ransacking the town for house yes
terday that was suitable for the purpose
and that could be opened and run at an
expense within its means. The impOT
lance Of this move is felt by all who are
actively engaged in humane work and can
be appreciated by any casual observer.
Mr. L. Aspey, the agent, finds many cases
that need prompt attention, but until this
industrial home is founded the most per-
picking of all cases cannot be dealt with
satisfactorily. Everyone is willing to aid
the society, and it is safe to say that the
difficulty of the home whill be fully solved
within few days.
Since the reorganization of the society
there has been a marked decrease in the
cases of extreme cruelty to animals and its
mere existence has thus far had a bene-
fetal effect. Many cases of cruelty that
arise from ignorance and carelessnes5 will
be taken up and discussed as soon as the
more pressing work is disposed of. 1t is
to be hoped that a simple warning from
the agent will be sufficient in mild cases
but when it is rot the society is fully de-
termined to push the matter to the ut
most limit of the law.

WORK DELAYED.
The Electric Railway Company Wants More
Ties-Over One Hundred Men En-
ployed--Increase of Service to
Packing HnnseS Today

The Wichita Electric Railway company
has been forced to quit work for a few days
on North Main street owing to a lack of
ties. 1t was supposed that there would be
no delay from this source but the railroads
claim to be rushed with freight business
and from so and 50 and so and so the delay
resulted. Two car loads arrived yesterday
and more are expected to reach here today,
and work viii no doubt be resumed on
Main street within a few days The force
of men employed on Main street have been
set to work repairing track on Riverside
and out the Fairmount line.
The connecting link from Topeka avenue
and Thirteenth street to the packing
houses was given the finishing touches last
evening and will be pressed into the ser
vice this morning This will give
car to the packing houses
every fifteen minutes instead of
every half hour as has been the time table
for several months. The poles for the
line down Topeka avenue have been set as
far south as Tenth street and the holes
have been made to Oak. The line work
will reach Douglas on the avenue within
two weeks, as estimated. The track laying
may not be completed that soon but in the
event of no delay for material will be com
pleted within three weeks. AS soon as
completed the avenue line will be put into
the service and become part of the cleo
trio system. Two of the new motors to be
used on the extensions arrived yesterday
and three more are expected within a
week. They have been ordered to be de-
ivered at such times as will enable the
company to operate the line as rapidly as
put down.
Work will commence today removing
line and track in the loop to the packing
house cut off by the North Topeka extern
sion. This will give over half mile of
track and line to be put down some where
else in the system. The company has at
present one-hundred and thirty-one men
employed and it is hoped that double this
number can be handled to advantage
within a few days
The contract for the power station has
not been awarded as yet, but will be some
time this week. 1t is thought the build
ing can be completed within thirty days
and the building will probably be ready to
receive some of the steam power and cleo
trical machinery in less time.
The company will provide seven cars for
the use of the crowd to the cemetery on
Memorial day and also extra mule cars
over the old line. Two of the electric cars
will be for the children and the firing
squad. 1t is believed there will be a great
rush to the cemetery on that day and the
company hopes to be able to give accom-
mOdatiOnS to all

STIR ON ARC LIGHT CIRCUITS.

Mr.. E. J. jackson, of Middletown, Conn,
who is interested in the Citizens Electric
Light plant here, is expected to arrive to-
day. 1t is not known definitely what he
is after in particular, but in general he
will be giving attention to the business of
the company. 1t is thought the PROPOSE
ton of the Thompson-HOuston company
to give some all night service provided
they can get pay for it the same as the
Citizens company, may to some extent be
interesting to the management of that
company Some of the people in the Thomp-
son-Houston district are very anxious to
have some after midnight light. They
recall that they are paying their share of
the $50, 900 spent annually for lights and
only get about half as much light as other
parts of the city. Some time ago the
Thompson-Houston agreed to give all
night service for same price as allowed the
Citizens but for some reason the council
of that time refused and the company was
disposed to think they could stand it I'M
til the people complained to the council.
The complaint was made and the new
council seems interested in the matter and
the proposition of the Thompson-HOustOn
now in the hands of the light committee
it is thought will receive some attention
at the next meeting of the council.

Lessons in English.

When Fraulein Braune came to this
country she discovered that she had not yet
mastered English as it is spoken, though
she had studied her English grammar care
fully.

''This window above the door is the tran

word. And you call this a register? Yes,
l shall learn that name"
Not long after the dignided little Ger

serting: ooh, no, have not found this
country cold. 1 have been very comfort

VISITORS TO WICHITA.

There are quite number of eastern cap
italists and prospectors in the city. They
are out looking over Kansas and Wichita.
They are not around in the interests of
their health in particular but more partic-
ularly looking after financial affairs. Some
are making investments, some are not and
all are looking around, getting possession
of some facts about the city and surround
ing country. All seem to fully realize
that the stock yards and packing houses
and the growth of the same amount to
considerable to Wichita. As a rule they
seem to be able to understand that it is
perfectly natural that Wichita should be
a leading live stock market for the west
and this being the most natural point to
handle that business they can see no
chances why the business will not con-
tinue to develop.

The Many Enjoyable Things n Bright
New York Girl Did One Day.
One morning rot long ago I started out
for whole days lark with just dollar in
my pocket. It's amazing the amount of
different things you can buy with dollar
and the fun you can get out of it if you
only try. This is what l did: After break
fast-it was one of these warm spring
mornings-I took the elevated out to the
park to see the pretty girls taking their
morning canter on horseback. On the way
out bought tiny little bunch of violetS
for ten cents, but there was just as much
fragrance in it as in a dollar worth. Then
I bought three big bananas for ten cents
more, and when got into quiet corner
of the park sat down on bench and ate
them
There. in the violets and bananas, had
my tropics and nv Italy," all for twenty
cents; and, as for seeing the pretty horse
women, I couldn't haye done that better
from the cushions OF the finest Landau than
I did from the bench at the side of tbs
drive.
Then took a stage down town to Ms
for ny luncheon. ate two oyster patties

the expenses; that with ny fares, Is only
ffty-hVe cents, isn't it, Then walked out
and gave poor old man on the curbstons

The next thing I did YVES 20 90 into chs

A SURE BUSINESS CENTER.

Mr.. +. r. Davis, assistant cashier of the
First National Bank at Litchfield, Ill, is
in the city on a prospecting tour He says
he has been reading the EAGLE for some
months and had an attack Of the Wichita
fever and was compelled to make a person
al investigation He stated last evening
that while he expected to see a clever city he
did not have fair idea of the Importance
of Wichita He is greatly surprised at the
rapid business growth of the city and con-
cludes that much business, in the absence
of any boom, means a solid foundation; the
growth is in response TO a demand and the
result will be that Wichita viii continue
to grow and will soon do a volume of bust
ness scarcely equaled by any western city.
