Some Central American People.

SAN JOSE. June 2O.-The oldest Ameri-
can resident in Central America is Mr..
Arthur Morrell, who was for some years
the American consul at San Jose, Costa
Rica. Mr.. Morrell has been thirty years
in San Jose. He anne here before there
was either railroad or cart path, in the
days when one went slowly up on mule
back from the port. But he liked it SO
well and grew rich SO fast that he chose to
remain. He is a fine looking, white haired
gentleman of sixty odd, and lives in q
quaint old house facing Central park, the
l~oveliest spot in all the town. He made
his fortune as merchant and importer.
Another American who has taken root
in San Jose and endeared himself to ma
tives and foreigners is Mr.. H. N. Rudd, the
vice consul. Mr.. Rudd has been fifteen
years in Central America, and thinks it
the country of all the world for q happy
existence.
OF professional men in Central America
one of the best known Americans is Dr.
Thomas M. Calnek, university lecturer
and president of the protomedicato OF
Costa Rica. DR.. Calnek has made some
interesting discoveries in relation to lep-;
rosy There are about a dozen fepers in
that part of the country, nearly all Of
WuOlu udVc uIllUcu uOWA -1IOlA NdlllOTAl6s
These u~nfortunates are separated from the
rest of humanity, comfortable quarters be-
ing provided for them on the Sabana road,
where the doctor visits them every Sunday
morning. He believes leprosy is not con-
tagious, except in rare cases.
Ascension Esquirel, the Central Amer
lean leader, is one of the most sympathetic
figures in the entire Spanish American
foreground. MI. Esquirel is. tall and slen-
der, with remarkable elegance of manner.
He has a tremendous popularity in Guate-
mala, Honduras and Salvador, while his
followers in Costa RIGA would unhesitat-
ingly lay down their lives for him if neces-
sary. He is greatly in favor of the Three
Americas railway.
AS far as Costa Rica and Nicaragua are
concerned, he says it ought to be an easy
matter, utilizing the present systems Of
these republics. At present he resides at
San Jose, and occupies himaelf in the
practice of his profession-the. law.

Gains from q Kind Act.

When William N. Spear, of Rockland, los
both arms in a lime rock quarry all the sur
geons and other specialists said there was no
way of making an artificial arm that could
be manipulated by the unfortunate mar SO
that he could feed himself, as his arms were
amputated near the shoulder. Two of his
e.low workmen, WILDER G. Ulmer and Tim
othy E. Mcnamara, did not give up so easily,
but determined, if there was no other way to
find arms for Mr.. Spear, they would make
them themselves. Accordingly they set to
work, and with no better tools than jack.
knife, handsaw, file, etc., they not only made
two arms with which Mr.. Spear feeds himself
and does many other things, but have also
got out a patent on the invention, by which
1t is to be hoped they will make lots of money.

A Young American Farmer Who Has
Made a Home for Himself.

a Young American Farmer Who Has
Made a Home for Himself.
In 1881 a nimble lad of II years, with
500 in his pocket, stepped off the Northern
Pacific train at Bismarck. He got employ
ment on a farm, and continued farming
and gardening until 1885, when he filed on
a claim and took unto himself a wife. A
neat little house and log barn was ready
for the couple, and on 100 acres of section
S0-1S8.79 near w. E. CahalPs, in Apple
creek township, this young couple started
to housekeeping and farming on their own
account. l visited them on the 9th inst.
and Mr.. Burch made the following state
ment: "When l started to farming OH my
own account 1 had one pony. now have
ten head of horses and twelve head of cat
tie. l have in crop fifteen acres of garden
and potatoes. The wind blew out some of
my vegetable seed early in the spring. l
re-Seeded, and my vegetables, though a lit
tie late, are coming on so fast that l hardly
find time to keep out the weeds. | have in
Is acres of corn, 5 of it on this seasons
breaking; 15 acres of wheat, % Of oats and
10 OF millet. / think l have done well. My
improvements on the land, my increase in
stock, and everything favorable for a good
crop this season and no debts hanging over
me, make up for all our drawbacks and
worry during the past two years of dry
weather. Our health has been good. We
have two little boys now. They are COM
pany and keep us busy looking after them
You must excuse my haste to-day; l want
to start my mower"
Your special might add ten columns to
the above statement and not make i a bet
ter or more creditable showing to Mr.. and
Mrs. Burch. 1t speaks for itself.

sarge association, corner Washington and
Union Park streets. Reunions of other Or
CARNATIONS " i'll also be held.
The WOman'S Relief corps, department
of Massachusetts, will furnish a lunch at
Bumstead hall for the delegates to the ma
during the session Of the encampment.
The Sons of Veterans have been given
the place of honor in the grand parade and
tend from the eastern states. Geo. B. Win
ship, department commander of North
Dakota, has issued the following order:
GRAND FORKS, N. D.. July l, 1890.
l. Comrade 0. S. Golf of Post No. 2, Bis
marck, N. D.. is hereby appointed depart
ment inspector, vice 0. F. Davis of No. 10,
posts have not as yet forwarded their in
spection reports to the assistant inspector
general of the department.: Nos. 2, 6, IL
IL. 18, 20, 81. "a, 25, q, 80 and 80. These re-
ports should be forwarded at once, as the
annual report OF the department inspector
is thereby delayed.
Although a definite railroad rate has not
been fixed to the oath annual encampment,
enough has been learned concerning the
same to enable the department commander
to assure the comrades that a very favora-
bic rate will be given. The rate from st.
Paul will probably not exceed S25 for the
round trip. 1t is probable that the com
mittee on transportation will select the st.
Paul, Kansas City & Chicago, and the
Michigan Central, as the lines over which
the North Dakota comrades will pass. AS
soon as rates are determined and the route
fixed upon, notice will be given to each
post. Those intending to go are requested
to advise the assistant adjutant general of
their purpose now. so that a reasonable APP
Proclamation nlay be reached of the num-
Der for which transportation is to be fur
nlShed. The usual extension of thirty
days is assured, and all who go with head
quarters train car have their time for the
return trip.
The Woman's Relief Corps and the Sons
of Veterans will be provided for on the
same terms as the G. A. r., and both or
CARNATIONS are invited to join the head
quarters train which will leave st. Paul as
early as Friday, August S.
The department headquarters in Boston
will be in Mechanics building, where free
quarters for 200 comrades have been pro-
vided. Comrades desiring to avail them
selves of these quarters, however, must
provide their own bedding. The comman-
der has also engaged pay quarters for
about fifty comrades at No. II, st. James
avenue. at a rate not to exceed S1.W for
each person. Meals may be procured at
restaurants at from Is cents to $1.00 per
day additional.
1t is to be hoped that North Dakota will
be well represented at this encamplnent,
and that not less than 200 comrades in uni
form will appear in the great parade OH

AAA ~
entcd Woman Once an Actress.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, July leslie Chester, the
stage name of Mrs. Edith Carew, is a beau
tiful woman who cam to America three
years ago with Rosina Vokes. The reason
why she never came again is a peculiar one
and not without interest. Her husband,
an immensely wealthy man, did not find
fault with his wife indulging her liking
for amateur theatricals, but when it came
to her going IN the stage as a professional
he objected very much. However, as q love
ly woman can always get her own way, he
agreed to let her come over to this country
with Miss Vokes, provided it was to be the
last time. This was agreed to, and the
beauty came, saw and conquered. All
New York was at her feet, and the exqui-
site features, glossy hair and soft eyes were
talked of in every place. She was here about
three months and then went home. The
next year she began to urge her husband
to let her come again, but in the meantime
there had been born to her the most lovely
boy baby the eye ever rested on, ~

Some Foreign Stamps,

At present the Russian stamps are the
most beautiful in the world, being printed
in water %colors, but they will not wash.
Here is a set of Egyptian stamps, most OF
which are circular, as you observe, with
representations of the Pyramid and the
Sphynx. This Victoria stamp for 91O ster-
ling is the highest denomination used for
postal service in the world. 1t carried gold
dust from Melbourne to Paris. The West
Australian stamps have a swan as their
prevailing design, you perceive. The round
hole punched through that one in the cor
ner of the page means that the letter it was
attached to was mailed by a convict.
That is the way in which all the stamps
on convicts' letters are Cancelled in that
part of the world. These pretty stamps
with the design of q dragon in Il fit are
Shanghai. Heligoland is the only country
that prints the denominations on it's stamps
in two languages-English and German.
Most East Indian states use the British
government stamp, printing the nam of
the state over each one. Cashmere prints
its stamps in water colors-from ivory-and
you observe that the tints run pretty bad
ly. Japan covers her stamps with compli-
Gated geometrical designs, while Guate-
mala employs a green parrot uniformly
for an emblemE Interview in Washington

One Of our exchanges had the following:
''That was a %laughable joke Oh the young
couple who went out walking a Sunday or
two ago, wheeling their first born in a
new baby carriage. They noticed people
smile as they passed by and wondered
what was the matter. The wife finally
said: Ill walk ahead a little ways
and you see il anything is the matter with
ny d hssban So ca1Isa % b smi1 ha az mere aeG S ana
Now let me walk ahead and see if my
pants are busted,' and he walked on,
wheeling the buggy before him. A quiet
little laugh brought the husband to q sud
den halt before he had gone twenty feet,
to the trade mark on the back Of the baby
buggy. It read: Our Own Make They
had forgotten to tear itoff when the buggy
was unpacked.

How Jockeys Read.

AS a usual thing the average Jockey knows
nothing except horses. At an early age he
trains for the pigskin and has no time to at
tend school. In consequence of this life there
are but few jockeys who are able to read, and
fewer who can read well. But they are in
genious. Down at Sheepshead Bay, for in
stance, the New York morning papers arrive
from the city at an early hour, and after the
Jumpers have been given their morning exer-
else the boys gather near the stables, and tho
one who can read takes up the paper and
reads the news. He skips the hare words ar
tistically and the listeners understand him.
For instance, he goes on like this: LAST
Tuesday evening a-water iump-man who
was seen walking down the-water jump
street, and an officer followed him to the
water %jump-while he could be kept in sight,
etc. When he reached a hard word the
reader simply said "water jump and went
on. Whenever a jockey hears a word he does
not comprehend he calls it a ''water jump"

A SMASH Up.

c. V. Ferguson, Esq, had a buggy beau
tifulIy smashed by an electric car over on
Riverside yesterday. He had hitched his
horse to post beyond reach of the car and
stepped into a residence. The horse got
loose and walked across the track, leaving
the buggy on the track. 1t was about two
hundred yards straight track both ways
but the fellow in charge of the car says he
never saw the buggy until he heard the
crash 1t was noticed that the only pas
senger on the car was a young lady whom
the car man knew quite well and it was
concluded by those who saw the wreck
that he had been giving little attention to
the ThompsOn-HoustOn current.
awhile the buggy was a complete wreck
the hoIse was not injured and not in the
least scared standing by the side of the
track even after the buggy was jirked loose.
The management of the electric line held a
brief interview with the gentleman in
charge of the car

THOSE NEW ENTERPRISES.
The Time Near at Hand for Telling Work.

The EAGLE four weeks since alluded TO
some big interests and enterprises whose
projectors had determined that Wichita
was bound to be one of the great CONNER
cial points developed by the west; that
Wichita will be the next important link
in the chain of commercial cities and
central link at that, and that therefore
they should identify themselves with her
assured future. The interests alluded TO
at that time are not only not any the less
certain now, but are all the more assured.
to which might be added two others whose
forerunners having looked the ground over
have made favorable and satisfactory re-
ports. One of the three interests alluded
to. although no names were given at that
time. was the great brewing firm Of An
heuser-Busch, of St Louis, who, even after
failing TO get the property first de
cided upon by them, yet invest
ed twenty-five thousand dollars IN
other quite as favorably located
property. Mr. Busch declared to repre-
sentative of our board of trade within the
past week that he had much more than
S25. 900 worth of faith in the future OF
Wichita. We might add that the property
was not purchased for brewing purposes,
but to be utilized in connection with Wich-
ita's wholesale and distributing advant-
ages. Parts of Texas, the entire Indian
Territory and the west will be supplied
with his goods from his great depot and
cold storage at Wichita. In this connec-
ton. what would happen TO Wichitain the
event of more liberal state lawsf Through
Cincinnati and st. Louis interests, prob
ABLY belongs to the realm Of speculation.
but the talk is on a very big scale, If not
wonderful
| We hope by another week to be able to
announce definitely at least one If not two
of the other great interests alluded to.
| In short. the consUmm8ted facts
seem entirely assured. The EAGLE
cannot afford TO take any chances in shak-
! ing the faith Of our people in its reliability.
! While everybody. everywhere, are willing
! to concede that Wichita is not only the
CITY in the state of Kansas, with pOssiblh-
/ ties far in advance of any point in Texas,
! Colorado or Utah. and that she Is backed
| by chances and surroundings superior TO
those of any city, save Kansas City, in the
west. vet the effects of a national depTes-
sion cannot be wiped out in a day no more
than can. entire confidence be restored in
so short period However with the bet
/ ter times coming TO the country, in the
near future, relieving the burthened and
reviving the hopes and stimulating the
ambition of everybody, Wichita VIII bound
| forward again in all the lines Of prosperity
lin a way that viii surprise the most san
guine and optomistical. For a fact 1t is
unnecessary for the EAGLE 70 announce
that which is known 70 everybody and
which is being felt by all. which Is seen in
! the increasing bank clearings, IN the ex-
panding life Of trade, in our swelling mar
lets and everywhere, that Wichita is the
new center Of commercial attraction to
which all eyes are directed.

LOOKING FOR POINTERS.

Mr.. Lewis H. Frizzell, sheriff Of John
son county. Ill, reached the city last even
ing and will probably leave Tuesday morn
ing. accompanied by f. +. Ward, who,
among his jewelry, will be wearing hand
cuffs. Mr. Frizzell has a number of &C
quaintances in the city, among them being
II. /. Arnold. Esq. and he will spend the
time very pleasantly.
Some parties who are well acquainted
with Ward venture the assertion that be
may be acquainted with number OF
parties located in Wichita and the south
west who have been engaged in mortgag-
ing property, using false names and also
selling Texas lands which could not be To-
Gated 1t may be remembered that some
time ago \. Edgworth was arrested in
Chicago. charged with being engaged in
the Texas land scheme, and it Is thought
Ward may know something of Edgworth
and his gang 1t Is thought an effort wlll
be made to induce Ward to give some in
formation on this point, and in this " ay
get hold of a clever set Of thieves.
