AN ENTERTAINMENT OF HIGH ORDER.

AS art finds its demand in the delight it
renders to mans mental and spiritual
natures, so those who are seeking amuse
ment should choose those which are most
artistic An entertainment of that kind
of a high order will be furnished the
public by st. Andrews Brotherhood of st.
Johns church at the grand new audi
forum of the Y NJ G. A. building, corner
of First street and Topeka avenue, next
Tuesday evening. Some of the best
musical talent of the city has been secured
to assist the author, Rev. +. p. Chitten-
den, rector of ST Johns military school
at Salina, in interpreting The Pleroma,"
a dramatic poem of creation. The poem,
complete, is too long to be rendered in one
evening, filling, as it does a 80 page book.
Some idea of its scope and nature: Book
/, Christ Nature" seven cantOs, accord
ing to the six days of creation with an
introduction. Book ii, Christ in His
tory seven cantos The dramatic form
may be illustrated by the plan of canto III,
Book H. The Aeons number the encamp-
ments of Israel from the Red Sea unto
Sinai. Angels sing The Eagle Wings.
Satan and demons rejoice in the Golden
Calf; incites Bobak and with cold thin
armor defeth the God of Battles. Moses
has a panorama view of the Promised
Land. then dies. The exploits of Samson
and other Judges.
The following soliloquy of Satan on the
failure to get possession of Moses body is
given as "A taste of the feast:
This mock'ry OF my demons harsher meets
My than doth ;he taunt OF the Archangel;
Once Satan had not brOoked these braggart cries,
But subtle world studies have drained his sinews.
Though they distend the Psychic hemispheres
Let ooits and dotards reckon as they list,
Wherefore Satan attempted Moses tomb!
Il was experiment worthy success;
For on the event nat ion fate did hang.
Echo! with Satin's wit and Moses mask
To cover IL. crave no odds Jehova.
O no, a resurrection 'twere to spoil
The earth OF future marvels.
The lights arc low;
The action dismal and unearthly. AhenA
Jehovah Is in truth man Of war,
Then Satan thou shalt he man OF cummings
Thy cold, thin arm defy the God OF battles;
Thy feints and artifces shall defraud
HIS saintliest, and call their victories.

o. L., w Hall Last Evening.

The meeting of the Indiana society was
called to order at s p. m, last evening, in
A o. U. w. hall, with Rev. i. w. Bick-
nell in the chair.
Reading of the minutes of last meeting.
The minutes were adopted. The society
then received the names of new members.
On motion the following gentlemen
were appointed committee to nominate
officers for the ensuing term: DR.. j. w
Minnick, Mr.. w. S. Morris and Judge w.
f. Walker.
The committee Immediately retired for
consultation and the interim was
occupied with instrumental music
by the ladies' orchestra, COM
posed of the following members: Mrs
Eva Bates Steffel. first violin; Miss Madge
Craig, second violin; Miss Helen Baker,
cello; Miss Nettie Gaitwood, accompanies.
The committee reported the following
nominations: President, g. w. Sumption;
first vice president, Mrs. Mary f. Todd;
second vice president, Prof. T. A. Yowell
third vice president, w. r. Payne; fourth
vice president, Mrs. Z. H. Harding; fifth

rotary, James Turnock; treasurer. DR.. J.
NJ. Minick; trustees. Judge John H. Ash,

On motion the rules were suspended
and the nominees were elected vive voce.
After the business of the election was
disposed of the following literary and
musical program was rendered:
Music-Mrs Hewitt
Objects of the society-W. R. Payne.
Mr.. Payne spoke for ten or fifteen min
utes and presented several of the objects
for which the society was formed. The
society was a nucleus around which
Hoosiers can form community that will
be benefit to themselves and the state
where they are now living. What is true
OF governments is true of society; they
must have federal head. Another object
of the society was to keep alive the memoir
les and history Of the state that they had
left. The pioneers of that state came from
every state and country and formed a So
ciety peculiarly their own. So the
Hoosiers came and formed society Pc
culiar TO Kansas.
If there is anything that destroys the
usefulness of aay man or woman, it is to
live without a social side. We
should cultivate the bright side
of this life, which will prevent
the soul from becoming dwarfed, we thus
become better acquainted, better socially,
and thereby become better citizens.
Reading by Prof. g. w. Hoss
Music by the ladies' orchestra.

A vote of thanks was rendered the ladies'
orchestra by the society.
The question of procuring permanent
location was discussed at some length but
definite was done in the matter.
There was a good attendance and all
went away highly pleased with the enter
tainment furnished. A proposition to
make each individual member a commit
tee of one TO secure new members met
with the hearty approval of all present.

A PIONEER SURE E>oUGH.


And here it comes again that an old man
took his first ride on train. The story Is
told by a Santa Fe man who says he never
twists the truth. Ii was yesterday that J.
NJ Steadman. of near Englewood, passed
through the city en- route to Texas. He
was 81 years old. a tall, bony. stooped-over,
gray headed pioneer, and had been in
Kansas forty-one years. He had wagoned
into Atchison or Whereabouts from Ohio,
and about every ten years took a step
west in Kansas, and the last step took
him into Clark county He had raised a
family OF eleven children, and one Of his
daughters had married and moved to
Texas. A few days ago the old man re-
ceived a letter saying she was quite sick,
and he thought he ought to visit her, and
hence this trip. In addition 10 not having
been on a train he has not been out of
Kansas for thirty-four years.
The old man was little nervous about
his trip and asked many questions. He
had heard of wrecks where people had
paid money TO get killed, and all this came
up vividly in his mind, and the swing of
the car firmly impressed it on his mind
that the reports were true. Many ques-
tions were asked, and among others be
inquired of the train men what they had
axes tied up in the car for, when it was
replied that sometimes people got fast in
wrecks and the ak was used TO kill them
by way of accommodation TO get them out

STREET RAILWAY BONDS SOLD.
Word About the financial Situation In Gen
eral--H. o. Coolidge 10 be Vice Presi-
dent OF the CitilZenS' Bank.

10. Davidson, president of the Citi-
zens' bank stated yesterday that during
his trip east he disposed Of S250,000 of the
electric railway bonds which makes the
total bond Indebtedness of. the company
S3OO, 600 This is not as much by $50, 900 as
was originally intended to issue but owing
to the fact the construction Of the line
cost little less than at first estimated ii
was not necessary TO increase the indie It
edness to that amount. The company is
going ahead with the work as rapidly As
possible and the entire system will be
completed and Wichita will have the best
service of any city in the west by the first
of next year.
Concerning the financial situation Mr.
Davidson said the last trouble east had
been brought about by the reported fail
ures in London and the support given
Barring Bros. there, had greatly re-
lieved this country. As it was
half the banks in New York
City would have failed had they
not been given relief by the clearing house.
They were now all right, and having had
many days to prepare for the trouble they
were now prepared TO meet anything, and
the danger of serious trouble was much
less than it had been for some time. He
voiced the sentiments Of the best financial
authority when he said that there is no
danger of any more financial sensations
for some time, and absolutely no danger
from the causes which have created the
excitement in the last few weeks.
While east Mr. Davidson made arrange
ments for Mr.. H. o. Coolidge, of Kene, n.
H., to fill the vacancy caused by the resig
nation of Mr.. c. A. Walker. Mr.. Cool
idge will assume the duties of vice presi-
dent of the bank on first of January next.
He is a most thorough and competent
banker, having spent thirty years in the
business, and for some years cashier of one
of the leading national banks in his city.

HORSE THIEVES CAPTURED.
A Short Engagements Between a Gang Of
Thieves and a Posse.

Some of the passengers over the Wichita
and Western were telling last evening of a
horse thief chase yesterday near Cairo.
From information gained. the sheriff of
Osborn county had for a number of days
been chasing gang of horse thieves that
relieved the citizens of his county of six
horses. He had been zig-zaging across the
western part of the state for nearly week
and at times had word concerning them
and again they were lost as far as he was
concerned. Yesterday he located them in
a ravine about a mile from Cairo He
went to the town and got a posse of
twenty-five men for support and
marched off to the scene of
battle. When the gang saw the situation
they opened fire on the posse, which wa n
answered in the same language. The
thieves mounted their horses and took to
the prairie grass and ravines. The posse
followed and the running fire was kept up
for mile, when the horses two were
riding failed to show speed with the others
and dropped behind The riders turned
into ravine and the other four went
ahead at good speed. The posse did not
want to go down into the ravine after the
two who had taken refuge there but the
sheriff went down by himself He held
his Winchester on them and persuaded
them to come up and join the
party. Returning, he was sur
prised to discover that his gun
was not loaded, as he had failed to reload
after shooting the last time at the gang.
But his bluff TO him was not bluff, and
hence the fellows accompanied him. After
the two had been captured some of the
posse got extremely brave and wanted to
lynch them. The officer reminded them
of their bravery few minutes before and
gave them to understand the prisoners
were in his charge. He gave them over to
the town authorities for safe keeping and
with posse started after the four who so
far had made their escape.

A GOOD JOKE on THE EAGLE.

Two or three days since, in speaking of
the danger and harm of rumors in times
like these, we used the expression this
firm, that and the other institution"
Catching at the this firm" II number of
people on the outside concluded, it seems
from the reports of our travelling men, that
the EAGLE was on the ragged edge The
joke is more funny than serious, as it can't
hurt the EAGLE, but it serves to show what
a rumor based even on a suppOsitious case
might result in. The EAGLE, like every
body else these times is hard up enough,
the Lord knows, and we have no money to
lend or spend foolisly, but if anybody has
got any unpaid bills due from the EAGLE
let them chausse up to the counter of the
business office and experience the comfort
of liquidation in full.
But, after all, as we said in our former
article, rumors are indefensible, and at
times like these, often calamitious. The
whole trouble in New York was forced
10y the bears through rumOrs, many Of
which were manufactured TO order out of
whole cloth.

A SMOOTH ovERCoAT MAN.

Yesterday morning a farmer in charge
of a team and wagon, was on Douglas
near Lawrence, when a fellow walked
across the street and reaching into the
rear part of the wagon picked up an over
coat and walked over to the sidewalk very
little concerned. The driver CHANGED to
see him and called his attention TO the
fact, when the overcoat fellow replied that
he had had a trade with the aforesaid
farmer and the overcoat was in the deal.
But on 4 second glance the
fellow admitted to have made a mistake
as the farmer was not the one he had been
trading with, so he returned the overcoat
He was then turned over to Policeman
Dennis who escorted him to headquarters
where he gave the name of Cornelius Hell
lenberger The aforesaid Hellenberger ap-
peared in court soon afterwards and told
his innocent story. The judge was greatly
interested in his conversation and after be
had concluded fined him so He had
no mouey and was sent to Jail TO board it
out at the rate of fifty cents per day.
