A CITIZEN SANDBAGGED.

An aggravated case of sandbagging oc-
Cured last night on the west side, Mr.. T.
X. Reasoner. Il student at the Garfield, be-
ing the victim. His assailant did not get
anything of value. for fortunately his
pocketbook had been left at home and his
gold watch was at the jewelers.. Mr.
Reasoner was on his way to the city at
o'slock and had just reached the crossing
of the Missouri Pacific and Chicago ave-
nue., when his assailant sprung from be-
hind small building, hitting him
with sandbag. \ pistol shot was
fired, the ball taking effect in his
left. arm. This occurred while he was
PROSTATE, and the muzzle of the revolver
was held SO close that his sleeve was
powder burnt. This shock somewhat re-
vived Mr.. Reasoner, who managed to
make his way back TO the north dormi-
tory, where medical aid was summoned.
just as he got up he saw man walking
east on Chicago, whom. he suppores, is the
one who attacked him. Chief Burrows,
hearing of the matter, went over TO the
university and made an investigation,
managing to secure an important clue.

Il Chide>ter for school Board

| The caucus announced for the Fifth
| ward at Martinson's hall last night was
| attended by over one hundred voters. The
object OF the meeting was to select candi-
dates for school board and council to be
voted upon April Il In the school board
| Mr.. Fl toward goes out, and in the council
| WIght's term expires.
| The meeting was called to order BIZ r
a. Haste Esq, who announced the object
Of the meeting. He inquired who should
| be made chairman, when he himself was
placed in nomination by T. E. Lawrence
| Chase Guyer was made secretary
| Mr.. T. Blake moved that nominations
be made for member OF school board and
councilman, which prevailed unanim-
| ously.

Reaching the feature of securing can
| didates for the council John a Dawson
placed in nomination Charles F. Coleman.
| Following Charles Payne. George w. Ben
nett and James Allison were placed in
nomination. Chairman Haste. calling Mr..
| Wilhite TO the chair said the meeting was
| intended to deliberate over the important
question of securing candidates He in
sisted that it was very important that good
men should be selected. The candidates
should be interested in the city, have prop
erty interests as an assurance that they
ba al Of ho o;t
The next two years would have much to
| do with the city's growth in the ten years
following and the speaker strongly in
sisted that able men should be found in the
city council That no councilman should
use his Office to look after his
own personal benefit more than the well
fare of the city. He closed by seconding
the nomination of Allison.
Mr.. Allison said he was not a politician
| and did not want to be candidate. He
desired to be considered in earnest when
he said he was not candidate.
Mr.. Payne moved that after the first
ballot the candidate receiving the smallest
vote should be dropped. The motion pre-
vailed and Mr. Lawrence said that the
meeting was meeting of tax payers and
property owners who wanted to nominate
d good man for council and were looking
after his good qualities more than to get
some fellow Who wanted the Office. He
said the Fifth ward had always been lucky
in its members of the city council and also
wanted good men in the future.
The first ballot showed the following
result:
Allison. .46
COleInau .-o
Idyue .
1t requiring fifty-three to nominate an
other ballot was ordered.
Payne rather red in the face gave it as
his opinion that Coleman and Milton were
the only candidates left, claiming Allison
had resigned. He moved Allisons name
be dropped, but that failed and several
references to parliamentary the second bal
lot resulted:
AIllson- ..fO
4dillOu .ol
This failed in a choice and third was
taken after considerable discussion as to
whether Allison had refused aud whether
it was possible to vote for him.
The third and last ballot showed Coleman
sixty-seven and Allison forty-seven.

THE FIRsr n. E. CHURcH.

Rev. L. NJ. Hartley, of Wellington, as
sisted Drs. Williamson and Savin at the
revival service held in the First II. E.
church last night. Rev. Hartley preached
very powerful sermon from Revelation
22-H. The preaching was attended with
the power of the Spirit, as evidenced by a
large number of conversions.
The bible readings still continue with
interest and are proving an immense help
to those attending. As this is to be DIR.
Williamson's last week in the city every
body who can should hear him. The
readings are given at 2:30 p. m., each day;
preaching at 7:30 each night. The pastor

A CARD FROM A. A. HYDE.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
L understand some Of the printing offices
in the city are objecting to the recent cir
cular signed by the president of the board
of trade and sent to the business men, re-
questing them to have certain card
printed on their letterheads. They claim
it was intended by the board of trade to
advertise the EAGLE.
AS l am the author of the card I wish to
take all blame in the matter The sole in
tention of the circular was to stir up the
business men to the work which each of US
can do toward furtheling the interest of
the city as a whole. | am sorry the circu-
lar was not,a little more carefully worded
SO as not to give offence. / suppose 1
might have gone around and got prices
from all the Offices in turn, but the first
one inquired for at the EAGLE seemed to
me sufficiently reasonable for the purpose,
and | supposed any business man who had
preference for another Office would
naturally take his work there

Numbers 4, 6, :. S, lo and Il were given
by drilled companies from the various
grades in costumes appropriate to the
characters OF the pieces rendered, aud
while all showed care and pains in prepar-
alton, No. 6, which was given by the
pupils of the highest grade, No. Z. by the
boys of Miss Wiggins' department. No s,
by five young misses from the same room.
were especially Well planned and executed.
The surprise of the entertainment, how
ever. was the last two pieces. the fan drill
by about dozen young misses. and the
flag drill by twelve young lads under the
command of Master John Walsh.
The perfect time with the mu sic that
was kept by the performers in these two
drills was source OF wonder and the pre-
cision with which every movement and
manouYer was executed would have done
credit to older and longer drilled COM
panies.
Professor Barrackman was heartily con-
graduated at the close of the entertain
ment as was also his accomplished assist
ant, Miss Virgins, TO whose skill in pre-
pairing for the entertainment much of its
success is due.

OKLAHOMA NOTES.

Attorney Thomas NcMechan returned
Sunday night from trip in Oklahoma.
He says that business in klngfisher is
thriving and the people are anxious to
have territorial government. The town
site law is OF especial interest them and
many large residences are contemplated as
soon as the builders can feel safe in regard
TO their titles. AS soon as these contin-
gcnces are disposed of a magical change
will be noticed in the appearance of the
entire country and good substantial dwell
lings will take the place of ten. and cabin.
In Kingfsher several brick blocks are con-
tracted for, pending the PRONUNCIATION
of the town-site law. The residents feel
that prompt action in this regard by Con-
gress means everything to them aud will
lessen by fifty per cent the already small
chances for failure.
Spring ploughing has already COM
cenced and Mr.. George Lang has eighty
acres of his choice claim already broken.
Five acres will be devoted co pota-
toes and other garden truck. The
ground breaks up nicely and the
practical farmer sees the promise of rich
reward for his labors Some of the good
agricultural claims cannot be priced as
the owners wont sell. while medium ones
won't 20 begging with a Sl.0l0 tackled on
to them for price.
In view of the early establishment of a
territorial government, some considerable
interest is manifested in politics and more
or less wire pulling is being arranged.
The campaign will open with considerable
spirit and the best of feeling all along the
line.
