SOMETHING OFM. W. COULTER.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The comrade and friend we laid to final
rest on Tuesday was a hero. Mathew w.
Coulter was born at Sparta, Illinois. Soon
after he was ID years old he enlisted in
company E, 30th Illinois infantry and join
his regiment Immediately, then doing duty
at the front. In the spring of 1864 he was
with his command on the Atlanta cam
paign, engaging in the battles of Dalton
or Buzzard ROost Gap, Resaca, Burnt
Hickory, kenesaw and other engagements
up To the desperate battle of July %, when
General Mcpherson was killed, where Com
rade Coulter was captured and sent to An
Jacksonville and imprisoned until released
by our troops. ! first made his acquaint-
ance twenty-One years ago at Baxter
Springs, Kansas, when he was setting type
in the office of the Cherokee Sentinel, of
which he afterwards became proprietor.
He was appointed postmaster of that place
III 1873 and in 1876 was elected clerk OF the
district court Of Cherokee county, Kansas,
resigned as postmaster and removed to
Columbus, the county seat he served four
years as clerk, having been elected twice.
In 1882 he was, withoutrequest on his part,
appointed postmaster at Columbus and
served until during the summer of 1888,
when he resigned. He soon afterwards re-
moved to this city and was one of the in
cOrpOratOrs of the Equitable Trust and In
vestment company, Of which he
was elected treasurer, serving as
such until his sudden death He
was a man practically without an
enemy or even the subject of fault finding
He married Lille Beall in the year 1875,
who died September 10, 1888, after which
he remained single Those who knew him
the most intimately knew the wealth of
his nature He was as kind and tender as
a child. as constant and true as natures
God intended men should be. his integrity
in business life as well as social marked
him without superiOrs He made a sue
cess of his work and his life is a beacon
light of honorable dealing and love for his
fellows. His stories of the suffering in
Andersonville were all of his comrades.
and so far as any allusion to himself
one would think he was princely
in his surroundings. He never
boosted of his achievements. but his eyes
would fill with the crystal tears of man
hood when some comrade would tell of his
sutlerings and privations His devotion
TO his sisters and brothers was only natural
with him and no burden We have lost
our true friend, our comrade is gone. a
victim of exposure for the government,
and thus our ranks hath a vacancy that
can never be filled, Very truly.

v hat Shall | Do?

If this question was
asked with reference
to the hot weather, we
should say: GO to
the mountains or down
to the sea shore" But
when you ask about
where to purchase dry
goods, there is no hes
itancy in saying: Go
to the Arcade. " Ev-
cry store has a policy
Of doing business, and
upon this policy, sue
cess depends. 1t is
generally conceded by
all parties, that an I'M
just or deceptive poll
cy will, sooner or later,
bring disaster to any
store. The practice of
some houses in mark
ing an article $I.2 5 for
which they are willing
to take $500, when
the contamination of
a hard sale compcls
MIN 10, IS as QlShOneSt
as it is unjust. But SO
long as a respectable
people prefer to be
asked $I.25 and have
this excess 25 cents
thrown off, there is still
some inducement to-
play this dishonust act
in order to please a
whim of the'public. ]

The policy of the
"Arcade" is just the
opposite. The policy
of the "Arcadc" IS that
Of every hrst-class dry
goods house in the
country. The CAR
cade" has only one
price and that is the
lowest possible price,
and on this policy we
expect to sink or swim
If the "Arcade" can
afford to sell an article
for SI.oo, we will not
mark it up to SIPS for
effect, only to deceive
the customer by pre-
tending to throw off
this excess Of q cents
which should never
have been put on. 1t
is the one price system
on which we rely.
The ARCADE" fur
ther says that no mat
ter at what price goods
are sold by any house
in Wichita, the Ar
cade will always meet
or beat such prices.
You don't have to go
to any other house in
to get low
prices. The Arcade"
leads with lower prices
than can be found

The cramped quarters in which the work

KANSAS SECURITIES ALL RIGHT.
MIR. l.. b. BunnelI Reports Opinions of Some
London Capitalists-Somewhat Excited
Over the Silver Agitation.

Mr. L. B. BunnelI and wife have return
ed from a visit to London, being absent
over six months. Mr. Bunnell, being of
the Bunnell & Emo Investment company,
was looking after business connected with
the company and reports having been most
successful in his undertakings. He re-
ports having made extensive arrangements
for disposihg of securities which will re-
suit most beneficial to the firm. Before
reaching London he had cangassed thor
oughly the objections he supposed would
be offered to Kansas paper and was fully
prepared to answer them in a satisfactory
way On reaching the London parties he
found them quite well posted on Kansas
values and prospects They knew all
about Delano township or any other town
ship in the state They had some dead
lines drawn through almost every
state beyond which they would not
make investments. Many of the fancied
objections did not appear owing to the
fact the London capitalists were so well
posted on the state.
Mr.. Bunnell also observed that the pa
pers of London give much more attention
to fiancial news and general commercial
news concerning the United States than
many would suppose. 1t was not an I'M
common thing to see something in any of
the leading papers there about the Kansas
crop prospects. 4 cloud-burst in some
township, destroying or benefitting ten
acres of corn would in due time reach the
the London readers. In addition also, all
the American magazines and papers of note
in the United States are taken extensively
and w l,,-
those interested in loan companies.
The wonderful crop in the state last
year, Mr.. Bunnell says, did much toward
restoring confidence in Kansas, and
the two or three years previous had
caused some of the loan companies
to cut down the percent of business TO be
done in the state. a company handling
paper in this country will do each year a
certain amount of business in Missouri. a
a certain amount in Kansas, a per cent on
the Pacific coast, and in no section more
than had been determined on by the di-
rectory. should crops or whatever is re
lied upon for business in any section in
crease for a year or two the per cent of
business for that section may he increased
and in case of reverSes the per cent would
be decreased. The enormous crops in the
state last year improved securities and
this year they have done more business for
Kansas than formerly.
Mr.. Bunnell reports a good deal of merry
business in London over the silver agita-
ton in congress. Should the silver bill
they would not continue in business here
Mr.. Bunnell thought they would scarcely
discontinue. however, no matter how the
silver bill Is settled.

WANTED FOR SELLING MORTGAGED
PROPERTY.

Sheriff J. c. O. Morse, of Sumner coun-
ty, was in the city yesterday, having come
in response to a telegram from Sheriff
Cone informing him of the arrest of
Alexander Mcintyre, wanted for selling
mOrtgaged property in Wellington The
authorities have been holding the warrant
for some time but somehow the man did
not materialize until yesterday. He claims
that it is malicious prosecution and that
although he sold the mortgaged property
he did 50 with the consent of the mort
gagee and afterwards offered him a suf
ficent share of the proceeds to cover the
mortgage which offer was refused in order
to commence this prosecution. Sheriff
Morse took the prisoner home last night

SUDDEN DEATH.

Some days ago Mr. John Moore went
down to Gueda Springs for few days va
cation, and yesterday morning relative,
Mr. f. f. Smith, died very suddenly at the
St. Charles hotel at Arkansas City. Mr..
Moore, it is thought, will reach the city
with the remains today.
There were a number of reports yester-
day about the cause of the sudden death
of Mr.. Smith Some had it that he had
suicided with some kind of drug, while
others believed that nothing of that kind
had taken place.
