WILL NOT REFORM.

Maggie Mack was recently taken in
charge by the Faith Home on her promise
to try to lead a better life 1t might be I'M
charitable to say she did not try, but as a
matter of fact she did not succeed very we'll.
Yesterday the police were notified of her
escape together with the fact that she had
literally supplied herself with clothing
that did not belong to her and had also ap-
propriated several little bits of jewelry
that did not belong to her either. In fact
Maggie scooped in all the available effects
within her reach and fed. Although she
is well known to the police she managed to
keep very shady last night and no trace
was obtained of her. just what object she
had in view is mystery unless it was to
crafty her natural cussedness.

FAILED TO GET THEIR MAN.
A st. Louis House After , Travelling Man but
Re Avoids Interview.

For some days James E. Pierce, travel
ing man, has been in the city playing a
rather lively hand. He represents a st.
Louis house wholesaling hats and caps,
and for few days pitched his money
around rather lively. Wednesday evening
f. II. Huniche, of St. Louis, a member of
the firm for which Pierce had been work
ing, reached the city accompanied by E. l..
Peckham, Esq, of Winfield. Mr.. Huniche
had been at Winfield looking for Pierce
and there learned that he had been having
a very lively time and contracted many
bills he had not paid. His visit was not to
look after Pierce's unpaid bills, but IN the
interest of the firm, wanting to get some
money from him which be had collected.
As it appeared Pierce had collected about
$500 and had not turned it over to the
house, and the chances were he
had spent it and would not be
able to make settlement So it
with Pierce on the charge of embezzle-
ment. They came to the city with that in
tention, but soon after their arrival Pierce
commenced to make arrangements to
leave His samples and grip were in the
hands of hotel proprietor to satisfy an
account. Pierce got some one to bring
him his grip and he left on the Frisco
Wednesday night. He told some friends
that he was going to Fredonia and to some
others said he would make run to Kan
sas City. His departure was not known
to Messrs. Honiche and Deckham until
yesterday morning. when they felt very
uncomfortable. They had expected to re-
turn to Winfield with Pierce, but he mad
skipped.
Mr.. Honiche went to the hotel where
Pierce owed bill and purchased the SAM
pies, which he took away with him.

THE ROCKET CIGAR,

Yesterday shortly after noon Tom Nc
Namara was standing in front of the
European hotel and looking hungry for a
smoke, Chas Burrows gave him a short,
heavy-set cigar of the speckled blonde
variety. He seized it with relish and
very soon the torch was applied and Tom
threw his head back at an angle of IS de-
erees and was figuring on the weather
down south. IL was not long this way.
The affair had 8 rocket attachment and
very soon commenced to display Fourth OF
July symptoms. Tom receded and in fact
went in most every direction trying TO get
loose. Finally the string of fire turned
back IN his mouth in due time came the
explosion when the boys cried look cut
for the stick" The victim was scorched
rather severely, but will, no doubt, report
for duty today.

The topic of the third meeting of the
month being Woman's Work, it was very
opportune indeed to have sit with US Mrs.
Clark, president of the Woman's Council,
that grandest of organizations, destined
to lead to larger mutual liberation
between societies heretofore separate and
to great degree non-sympathetic, thereby
broadening the outlook OF individual
members, while preserving the organic In
dependence of each society.
new delegate was elected TO represent
the Central Union for the ensuing year,
choice falling upon Mrs. Sarah Dubois
Mrs. Clark, in an able manner, presented
the needs of the open Door," which has
for its object the shaping into useful citl-
zens hayward and dependent girls.
Whether this noble endeavor viii remain
under the auspices of the Woman's Coun-
Gil or with the cooperation of cur great
hearted brothers--it shall assume large
proportions-remains to be solved.
Besides the usual number present two
new members, one from the Congregational
aud one from the Episcopal church were
with Us.
The order of business next Tuesday will
be the hearing of reports from the super
intendent Of scientific temperance instruc-
ton, Miss Stuekey; superintendent on

RELATIVES WANT To KILL HIM.

Sheriff Cone took IN charge yesterday
one Samuel Swank, of Bentley, Kansas,
who is laboring under the illusion that his
relatives are trying to kill him. He told
the sheriff that his brothers wife had
made a VOW to poison him and he was in
mortal fear of all of them. He was taken
to the Jail where be will be kept until his
relatives are heard from. He has evident
ly run away from home and at present it is
not known what disposition his friends
may want to make of the case. 1t will be
several days at least before the necessary
formalties can be gone through with that
are preliminary to sending him to the asy-

WORK ON SEWER SYSTEM.

The sewer contractors, SteinmetZ & Sui
livan, have about forty-two miles of the
sewer pipe down, which leaves over eigh-
teen miles unfinished. The work yet to
do will not take as much time as the first
eighteen miles as it is smaller pipe to han
die and it is not placed SO deep under
ground. 1t is estimated that two months
of fair weather allowing work to best ad-
vantage would complete the system. The
work on flush tanks will commence as
soon as the weather will permit. The esti-
mate calls for $50 tanks but those that will
be put in will not reach that number as
the pipe will be too near the surface to adj
nit of tank working well and flushing
will be done by hand carts.
