WHERE Is HIS MONEY?

Mr. Andrew Muir, who was chief en-
gineer of the Citizens Electric Light com
pany, died about two months ago, and in
the settlement of his estate there is
shortage that cannot be accounted for by
any of his friends.
Muir was an industrious man, a Scotch
man by birth, of frugal habits and of
saving disposition. He has been working
steadily for a number of years for a good
salary and his friends are certain that he
must have accumulated quite a sum of
money.
He had no bad habits at all, never gam
bled or drank, and had the reputation of
being Very close in money matters. Sew
eral years ago he had quite little sum
deposited in an Iowa bank which failed
and he recovered nothing At that time
he drew all the money he had out of the
banks in Wichita and, as far as can be
learned, never had any dealings after
wards with the banks Among his letter
was found one bearing date shortly after
the Iowa bank failure, in which a friend
writes that since he had incurred
a loss through the Iowa bank he presumed
his confidence would be forever shaken in
banks. That presumption was probably
right and no papers in any way connected
with banks were found amongst his pos
sessions, save the Iowa certificate of de-
post which had probably been saved as a
reminder of misplaced confidence 4 short
time before his death he married and con-
tinued to lay by a certain sum out Of his
earnings every month. There was one eX-
ception to this rule He had made his
wife several presents, amongst them a sew
ing machine and on the 18th of the month
when he received his pay he remarked 10
his wife that it was the first month since
their marriage that be had laid nothing
by. He was of a secretiye disposition and
never told his affairs 10 anyone, not even
his wife. but she had good reason TO be
lieve he had some little money laid by
Shortly before his death they had looked
Mt a property with a view 10 buying it for
"a home and he said to his wife Il viii
buy this if you say So She recommend
ed him to wait and see what else might
offer. and the matter was never referred
again.
There are many other similar reasons and
as good for supposing that he was possess
ed of money. but in no instance did he in
innate where it was kept. Dnring his Ill
ness he did not think himself in any dan
ger Of dying until the last moment, and he
did not refer TO his worldly possessions
then
Although his wife and friends have made
dilgent search among his effects since his
death no money has been found nor has a
clue TO il been discovered. There can be
no doubt but that he had money. and there
are two conclusions: first, that he has hid
1t, II which case It can only be found
through accident. and second. that he gave
II 10 some one 10 hold or invest and that
person has been unfaithful TO that trust.

FUNERAL NOTICE.

Mr.. Carl O. Franck, of 1150 South To-
yesterday afternoon in the Highland Gem
etery. A large number of relatives and
friends remain to mourn their loss: Mr.
Frank was the father of Mrs. keister,
whose death is still fresh in the minds of
the community. Pleurisy with cOmplica-
tiOns was the cause of his death.
Yesterday morning at z o'clock death
again entered that abode and claimed the
infant daughter of Mr. James B. Keister
and grandchild of Mr.. Franck. The de-
ceased baby has twin sister who still
fingers to cheer the bereaved father, but it
is at present wavering between life and
death During the DAY yesterday the little
one was very low and the worst was ex-
pected momentarily, but the end is not
yet. Toward evening she revived and
took some nOurishment with evident
relish and with more apparent benefit than
she has for several days, and hope, mans
only comfort, cheers the watchers.
The little one who has joined its mother
will be buried by her side this afternoon,
from the residence, 1150 South Topeka. at

HUNTING HIS LOST CHILD.

II. Wren, of Kansas City, passed through
Wichita Wednesday in search of his little
daughter Annie, who, he says, was drag
ged out of bed where she lay sick, in the
town of Ottawa, Kansas This took place
on the 10th day of April, 1888 The demon,
he says. who dragged her out of bed, beat
and pounded her in a most brutal manner
because she screamed and fought to get
away from her. This tiend was her own
mother-the only woman in the world that
she dreaded, and she had mortal fear of
her On account of her wicked and vicious
conduct at her own home ever since the
child was born.
This little girl is now ten years old, is of
a light complexion and darkish light hair
and is very Intelligent. She no doubt, is
known by some other name and is under
threat of her life if she tells who she is, or
in any manner displeases the demon that
stole her. This creature had sold herself
to a man in Kansas City who had money
and some political influence. who now
furnishes her money, and who no doubt
has other criminal relations with her, but
secretly.
Any information in regard to this child
can be directed 20 H. Wren, 2020 Tracy
avenue, Kansas City, Mo
The truth of the statements made above
rs to the brutal manner in which the child
was stolen can be verified by calling at
1910 Walnut street, Ottawa, Kan. The
woman is of sharp feature, has a fine
voice, laughs a good deal in her converse
ton and is a little stoop shouldered.

ROWLING SUCCESS.

There was no rain last night, but instead

lawn festival at Emperia Avenue NJ.
church was lively affair. The crowd
was large enough to get away with fifteen
gallons of ice cream, and proportionate
amount of cake and other refreshments.
Several gallons more ice cream were tele-
phoned for but did not arrive in time.
The walters were the most attractive, as
well as the most important feature OF the
occasion, with their white aprons and tur-
bins. They were: Rev. J. W. Homer
waiter, j. J. Fegthy, D. Smyth, F. a.
Sweeney, Harry Boyer and NJ Crosson.

Several parties with whom special
arrangements had been made to take part
in the literary part of the program failed
to appear, which cut this part of the exer-

success, the Millhaupt orchestra and Ora

their part of the bill to the satisfaction of
all. Several young misses added much to

The lawn was well provided with seats
and lights, making the affair unusually
attractive and pleasant, although the com
mittee on introduction got lost in the big
crowd and did not succeed so well in their
duties as desired. But it seemed that all
went there to enjoy themselves, which
they did without waiting for any formal
introduction.
Notwithstanding there were several
other similar entertainments in the city

sidered in Kansas "a bowling success"

On a Certain Critical Fa1lncr.

The truth is that the current criticism
whose shibboleths are ''rOmantiCism" and
realism" has got into the polemic stage
which is the same thing as saying that it
has ceased to be criticism. Criticism is
mainly an affair Of analysis and classified
ton. These afford it ample scope. and
dealing successfully with them confers
abundant dignity. To decry Scott or eZ-
alt Mr.. Rider Haggard is to be the slave of
an abstraction, than which nothing is less
critical. 1t may be useful by way of
shocking the illiterate and iuattentive into
a comprehension of your position, but il is
not criticism, because your eye is not con
the object" but on your position, which
also in this case is hopelessly outside the
circle of operations of true contemporary
strategy.
The realistic" controversialists are es-
pecially slow to perceiye this. Not only
are they singularly blind TO the success of
their own party among the novelists whose
material is exclusively human life and
character chow else explain their heath,
but they seem to insist that every one who
deals with fiction at all should deal exclu-
sively with this NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

THE CHRISTIAN SOCIAL.

The lawn social given by the Ladies Aid
Society of the Central Christian church at
the residence of DR.. Oldham last evening
was very enjoyable affair and was sue
cess both socially and financially. The
lawn was beautifully lighted up with
Chinese lanterns and an orchestra was in
attendance which dispensed soul-stirring
music during the evening. There were
also some Rotations which were well
rendered The company was large, and
the ladies iu charge did everything to
make the evening enjoyable to all present,
and they succeeded most admirably.
Whenever notice of one of their enter
tainments is given in the future they can
feel warranted in having large crowd, as
not only all of those who were in attend
ance last evening will 90, but they will
take their friends.
At a table little to one side party of
ladies seemed deeply interested and it was
learned by a little housekeeping that they
intend to repeat the entertainment soon,
changing, however the bill of fare from
ice cream, cake and lemonade to hot coffee
and oysters.

UNWELCOME VISITORS.

The trains last evening in addition to
bringing in their usual number Of visitors
and homeseekers brought seven or eight
gentlemen who bring neither purse nor
scrip with them. It would be pretty safe
to guess that they had found accommoda-
lions on the blind baggage or that some
friendly freight car with open doors had
extended them an invitation 10 enter. II
was not long before the police noticed them
and took sufficient interest TO question
them. They said they had printed invita-
tions to come to Wichita, and the spokes-
man produced some advertising matter
that has been sent out by the immigration
society. That scheme did not work
and the officers invited them to move on
to some more promising locality. They
showed no disposition to be otherwise
than agreeable and said if they were not
welcome they would gladly impose further
on the good nature OF the railroad and 20
on toward the Territory. 1t Is question
able If that is treating the Territory just
right, but self preservation Is the first law
of nature. They may not 90 as far as they
promised but as far as could be learned
last night they left the city, and in any
event the railroad viii have a lot to answer
for to some unsophisticated community.

SYMPATHY FOR THE CHISHOLM CREEK
TORTURED.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Permit me through your papert to express
sincere thanks to Mr. Buckeridge that
through his voice we are soon to realize
condemnation proceedings against the
horrors of the Lewis dam, etc. ! do this
in the name of many sufferers who have
borne this cruelty for years without the
power to help themselves. Dear readers,
observe, these fortunes have been endured
much longer than the Dold and Whitaker
plants have existed in our city. We were
surprised TO find one dissenting voice IN
the council to the suppression of this evil,
which has been so widespread in its dis
astrous-yea, death-deaing-effect and
known to every citizen of ordinary mental
capacity in our city, with even surround
ing towns looking with pity on US, that
we bore such blight so long. Bear with
my repetition when l express regret and
surprise to have found such a one. But
TO this one we offer a mantle of charity.
To the council in general our sincere ad-
miration that they approved the motion OF
our champion, Mr.. Buckeridge, we thank
you only as the tortured, long-Oppressed,
who hope for release, can. SUFFERERS.
