hundred pages, printed on tinted book
paper of excellent quality, gilt edged and

The introduction is of the land of Okla
homa and its discoverer De Soto, three
hundred years ago, but the first chapter
proper is from the pen of the late lamented
NJ w. Reynolds, written IN his best vein.
We have not had time yet to

illustrated and graphically portrayed. The
author of the work, Marion futile Rock,
has done great work for Oklahoma She
seems not to have missed an incident of
all the important events and exciting pc

For the Eagle.
ON THE DEATH OF REV. J. HARPER.

Farewell farewell we now give theeup
To God. thy Father above;
We vet ssall have to drink OF the cup,
God does all in His love
IT'S lonely and sad at his home,
We can see his vacant chair
We can see the work he has done,
Still his loved form is not there,
he has gone form our sight-dear one
We may listen for his footsteps again,
Though art gone never more TO return,
His smiles come before US so plain.
The storm. are many that broke on his way.
he has not passed through them alones
Now when the day Of his life Is Ger.
Friends sit by his grave and moan
o, why DO you wait by the earth's cold clod
To drop q sympathetic tear;
He Is not there. he has gone 70 his God;
Then praise him IN accents SO clear.
He has gone to his home his mansion he'll Ind
And a crown that Is so bright and so fair.
Bright robes that are shining so pure and vhits
such as none but Gods children can wear.
he has been cheered by the vision OF Ons
Whom be knew had been close By his side;
He Will see Him when he enters his home,
With BIN he will rest and abide.
He has gone. he has gone from earth's home
Where al by his presence was blessed;
BIS wife and children alone
Can prepare to meet him at rest

MIR. EDWARD Walls RESIDENCE BUR-
CLARIFIED.

The house robbers have been quite act
i've within the last few days and nights.
They appear to have better success during
the day than at night, or at least most of
the jobs have been done in the daytime
and 50 fare quite successfully.
Last evening about $40 O'Clock Mrs
Edward Vail and children left their resi-
dence on North Topeka for few minutes
walk. The servant was also away from
the residence, but after an absence of
twenty minutes Mrs. Vail returned. Very
soon she discovered that some one had
been in the house. She phoned Mr.. Vail
and he sent word to the police station and
jumped into hack and hurried home.
Mrs. Vail had at first supposed the bur-
glars were in the house and remained with
the neighbors until Mr. Vail and the police
should arrive. But the thief had escaped
soon after Mrs. Vail had returned
He took with him gold watch
and Mr.. Wallis revolver. He had
opened the till used by the children in
keeping their little money, but as luck
would have it Mr.. Vail had emptied the
till yesterday morning, amounting In all
to $50, which was placed in bank.
The police last night had been unable to
make any arrest. The officers are some
what stirred up over the work being done.
and yesterday morning caught two colored
men who had in their possession some
groceries that had left the Rock Island
grocery store some nights ago

a CLEVER LITTLE SCHEME.
An FL Dorado Bride and n Denver Groom
Despite Objections OF the Old Folks.

The Missouri Pacific train from FL Do
RADIO reaching here at 2:30 yesterday after
noon brought in Mr.. James NJ. Reid of
Denver, and Miss Annie Apple9ate of FL
Dorado. They took hack at the depot,
and Mr. Reid inquired of the driver if he
knew of any preacher; just any kind of a
preacher would debut he wanted a sure
enough preacher. This question was a
hard one for the average hackman to
answer. He dropped his head for mo-
ment and replied he could not tell where
to find one, but he would get a move on
himself and succeed in finding one If pos
sible. The couple were taken TO the Carey
and the driver left in hurry for preach
er. He went up one street and DOWN an
other and making inquiry for the names
of some gentlemen of that profession,
succeeded in getting half dozen names,
then hustled around directory, got the
location. Called at every one and not a
preacher to be found anywhere. On his
way back in disgust he CHANGED to see the
Rev. J. d. Hewitt. He was told that
Hewitt was just the man he wanted. Rev.
Hewitt, seated in the hack, was soon at
the Carey. Mr.. Reid had secured the
license and was nervously waiting. In
few minutes the ceremony was performed
and the agony was over.
1t is understood that Reid is real es-
tate man of Denver, "a years old, quite
dashing and the bride of 20 years, quite
handsome. Her parents had objected to
the marriage and Reid coming in from
Kansas City, was joined at FL Dorado by
the young lady who proposed to visit
friends in Wichita The little scheme
worked like a charm and they left last
evening for FL Dorado to tell the old folks
about it.
