FRANK FIELD DIES AZ PUEBLO.

A letter from Ralph Field received yes
terday morning from Monte Vista, an
nounces the death of his brother Frank,
who had started with his father for Monte
Vista, but were compelled tostop at Pueblo,
on account of the attitude which seriously
affected Franks asthma. Ralph writes
that the death was very sudden and so un-
expected as to shock himself and father
greatly. Frank had been in very poor
health for some time. on which account he
was honorably discharged from the Ma
tional guards. The people Of Pueblo ex-
tended the strangers kindness and SYM
pathy. Frank was wellknown in the city
and was accounted one of the best drilled
members of the guards. The following is
a clipping from the Pueblo Chieftain:
A brother of Mr.. Ralph Field died in
this city at noon yesterday from sud
den attack of asthma. The deceased had
been ailing for some time arriving in
Pueblo only this week accompanied by his
father from Wichita, Kan. The visit to
Pueblo was made i'm hope that it would
benefit deceased's health. Mr.. Field was
% years old and was an unusually bright
young man, full of life, push and enter
prise up to the time of his sickness. He
had for five years belonged to the Kansas
National Guards, and at the time of his
death was sergeant in Battery A, of
Wichita. The father of the deceased is
almost heart-broken at the loss of his son.
and Mr.. Ralph Field feels the loss of his
only brother keenly. The sympathy of the
public will be extended to the bereaved
relatives The funeral will be held at the
Mesa Methodist church on Sunday at
o'clock D. m

JASPERITE TAX.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
In accordance with the instruction Of
the council, the city clerk Is hard at work
preparing the figures for the county clerk
by which the tax for the jasperite pave
ment will be separated from the tax for
stone, SO that the county treasurer can
omit the collection of the tax for the Jas
perite. For the accommodation Of the
Douglas avenue tax payers IN the paving
limit, the county officers will extend the
time Of affixing the penalty in consequence
of the delay in getting the figures from
the city clerk, who has TO 20 back TO the
starting point There is no need Of any
worry or fear on the part of the propert '
owners The paving contractors have not
yet received q dollar from the city nor have
they asked for il since the defects have be
come apparent They will not be called
upon TO pay for thing they do not get
The 81, 600 bonds for Douglas avenue the

A BICYCLE DRUMMER.

Joe Henly. the bicycle champion. leaves
today at p. IN. for Galveston, Texas, in
the role of ''bicycle drummer" He is
the first to take the road in this manner,
but possibly will not be the last one. So
far the travelling boys have been satisfied
to ride on trains in Pullman cars where
they give the conductor razzle dazzle and
turn in large, healthy expense bills to the
house. But the new scheme calls for
more country air, more muscle and less all
night poker with the boys.
Mr.. Henly starts out for Frank a.
Cooper & Co., and will advertise their line
of Gala Lily. He will take with him a
line of goods and paint outfit Riding a
few miles, he will give the fence mark
reading about as follows: Use
Cooper's Famous Gala Lily for
the Complexion, Wichita. Kan" Use
Cooper's famous Gala Lilly cream for COM
piexion, chapped hands and sun burn"
1t is thought the ''sun burn" business
ought to be a winning card down in Texas.
The fences and bridges and everything
will be given attention, every now and
occasionally through the country and at
the towns Joe will visit the druggists and
shove out the line of goods and send back
a few orders to the house, keeping them
posted in this way of his whereabouts.
He will ride a Hartford safety and
will carry about forty pounds, made up of
samples and paint outfit. On one side of
the machine will be ''Cooper's famous
Gala Lily for complexion" on the other
''Cooper's Gala Lily cream for chapped
hands, complexion and sun burns, and a
card, Hartford safety, 800" He expects
10 go directly south by way of Wellington,
kingfisher, Oklahoma City, Purcell to
Galveston, which will take two or three
months. Then two or three more months
will be spent in Texas, skipping about
over the state advertising and calling on
the trade. He has also provided himself
with an instantaneous photographing APP
paratus which will be turned loose on
some of the more interesting situations.

CONCERT AT EMPoRIA AVENUE N. f.
CHURCH.

A large audience assembled at Emporia
Avenue NJ. f. church last night to hear
the concert given by the colored people
The company arrived late, which was a
disappointment; but what promised to be
dismal failure proved to be very graft
flying success. The non-appearance of Mr.
and Miss Watson and S. w Jones cannot
be accounted for, unless it was owing to
the failure Of the former to reach the city
from Oklahoma until the arrival of the 8
O'Clock train. When it was discovered
that these singers might not come, the
musicians who were present took up the
program, with some variation, and enter
tanned the audience in a way that made
them forget all about their dissppoint-
ment. They were Prof. William Pay, w.
II. Jones and George r. Siivers. They
had TO take the place of half dozen
that they were equal to u
dozen. For an hour they entertained the
audience with their vocal and instrument
al music, which elected hearty applause
at every turn. Prof. Ray with his man
dolin was the lion of the evening. His
performance on this rare instrument was
indeed very fine, but Messrs. Jones and
Silvers were but little behind in their
parts with the guitar and banjo
Before the singing of the closing piece,
Rev. j. w. Horner, pastor of the church,
congratulated the singers and thanked
them for the manner in which they turned
disappointment into JOY, and made a hap
Ply hit by telling an anecdote or two to IL
lustrate the happy faculty OF the colored
people in meeting emergencies, or getting

himself on a coal box near the corner of
