TRYING TO SETTLE THE BILL.

The finance committee of the council
held meeting yesterday to figure on the
South Market street improvement. The
street just south of the Wichita g. West
ern is filled in looking much like fill in a
mountain country for busted railroad.
But the fill is there and the next thing is
to pay for it and get it paid for in such a
way as to prevent the city from being
compelled to pay for it second or third
time 1t appears that the contractor has
not paid his hands and they want their
money, but it seems more is coming to
them than the city owes the contractor.
AS soon as the Market grading is set
tied it is thought resolution will be sub
mitted to make big fill on all the lead
ing streets of the city. A big hump here
and there put in with engineer precision,
it is alleged, will add to the city delight
full variety so long and painfully absent
Then it will cost money and give settle
ment work for committees to attend TO.

A REGULAR sTAR-CHAMBER AFFAIR
A Surprise That Was a SurprIse-A Happy
Wedding Anniversary.

September 9, being the ninth anniversary
OF the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. j. j.
Fegtly, the members of Ivy Leaf chapter
No. as, Order Eastern Star, of which this
couple are members, according to a well
planned arrangement, perpetrated a
genuine surprise on them, at their home
945 South Main street, last night The
company met at the residence of Mr.. r.
Allen Hall, on South Topeka avenue and
! promptly at o'clock marched in body
TO the residence of Mr.. Fegtly and found
! him waiting for the arrival of the church
choir, which was expected TO practice at
! his house last night. A surprise was never
more completely and perfectly carried out.
The company took with them an abund-
auce OF choice refreshments, which in due
time were served and heartily enjoyed.
AT this Juncture a second surprise awaited
Mr. and Mrs. Fegtly, when Mr.. r. Allen
Hall called them upon the floor, and in his
usual happy way, presented Mrs. Fegtly,
who is the organst of Ivy Leaf
chapter, a beautiful jewel. APP
propriate to her station in the order The
jewel is a breast pin attached to beauti-
full star, on one side of which is engraved
the name, "Fegtly," and on the other
From Ivy Leaf Chapter, No. -, o. f. ;.
The jewel is handsomely decorated in diff
ferent colors and design, emblematic of
the five points of the star" which only
members of the order can appreciate. Mr.
Fegtly was presented three handsome
works of choice poems by the popular au-
thOrs, Moore Bryant and Schiller.
Owing to sickness and absence from the
city few of the members of the chapter
were not present. but most OF them were
enrolled on the list of DONORS of the pres
ents and are as follows: Mr.. and Mrs. J.

MoNOTONOUs VARIETY.

Some of the Market street property own
ers are figuring on going to the council
again about the canal in the middle of the
street. They think that while by way of
variety the canal arrangement may by
way of variety be a good thing it's merits
are overcome by the inconvenience and
hence would like to have the whole street
paved. Some of the councilmen think it
might afford temporary relief to fill in
with dirt or broken stone. But those most
concerned fear such temporary relief
might last longer than at first represented
and the dirt or stone would be the only
relief for years. They want pavement
complete and as little variety as possible
One stated yesterday that in case the cleo
trio railway company can be made to pay
for the improvement he would certainly
be aiding as property owner to pay for it
in the usual way. He did not
expect the company to make a donation of
that kind unless it was compelled to and
the improvement made in the usual way
was no more than the everage PROPERTY
owner in his judgment could reasonably
expect.
The council ut recent meeting tried to
pass a resolution for stone filling but it
was recalled that the stone would get out
on the asphalt pavement and do consider
able damage. The pavement might be cut
up much faster than it could Iron OUT
and hence little variety by way of rough
pavement.

MEETING OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.

The principals of the city schools met in
the office of the city superintendent yester
day afternoon to receive final instructions
for the opening of schools on Monday, the
18th inst.
DR. Stevenson congratulated the princi
pals upon the bright outlook for the ensu-
ing year. Increased facilities in the mat.
ter of new buildings will render organiza-
ton easier and more complete, and add
greatly to the efficiency of the school work.
The boundaries of the school districts
are to be mainly the same as last year.
Pupils holding cards of admission to the
seventh or eighth grade will 90 on Monday
morning to the school from which they re-
ceived such card.
Instructions as to the classification. the
revised course of study, discipline etc,
was given by the superintendent.
Prof. Young, Miss Eberlein and Mrs.
Blaisdell spoke concerning the work in
their respective departments. viz: music
penmanship and drawing. Clerk Fegtly
explained the subject of supplies and how
and when they would be furnished each
building.
The teachers who have been assigned to
the several buildings will meet the princi-
pal at such building today at 10 o'clock,
when the work Of the respective localities
and schools will be considered and mapped
out. The corps Of teachers this year is be
lieyed to be far more efficient than ever be
fore found in the schools. Also it is
thought the work is beng more logically
arranged than ever before and will, it is
believed, result in the work being in keep
ing with the demands of the great city of
Wichita.

The "Coincident Franklin.."

On Glade mountain, West Virginia,
resides the "coincident Frsnklins,' a
family which is, in one respect at least,
the most peculiar Of any in the whole
country. The Franklins are family Of
condolences. The father and mother
were married on the 14th of October.
They have had nine children, all of whom
were born on the 14th of October. Five
of the nine are dead, and, strange to say,
every single one Of them bJeathed his
last on the fateful 14th day Of October.
The name Of the head Of the family is
Joshua Franklin. He was a Confederate
soldier, and was captured twice and had
two brothers killed in the war between
the states. All four of these mishaps
and misfortunes of war occurred on the
memorable 14;h day of October.
In the neighborhood where the Frank
lin family live, and, in fact, for miles
outside Of their immediate latitude, the
"Franklins Of Glade mountain" are
looked upon with superstitious awe. 1t
is said that not single human being
who knows Of the mystery surrounding
the family can be prevailed upon 10 stay
in the house or about the premises on
either the day or night Of Oct. 14.-St.
Louis Republic.

THE CROSS STREET PAVING.

Colonel Jocelyn reports more paving
brick expected 10 arrive the first of next
week. when work will be resumed on the
cross street paving contract. SO far only
Elm and English streets have been com
pleted and Third street is ready for the
brick. As soon as brick arrives the other
streets will be graded and the work rushed
along as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. J. f. Riley. of Omaha, who is inter
ested in the contract, is in the city looking
after business matters. Ii is said that it
is likely an effor: will be made by some of
the paving contractors TO get some more
work to do. They have an eye out for the
cross streets from Douglas TO First streets
Already the first steps have been taken to
pave Fourth avenue from Douglas TO First,
consisting of a resolution that must be
four weeks old before the second step can
be taken. Ii i believed that this will be
followed by taking in some more streets.

SOME MSS COUNTY NOTES.

Sam G. Shafer, of Ness City, was in the
city yesterday and complimented the
EAGLE 10y making its eyrie visit. He
says Ness county is in good condition as to
crops, stock, etc. The corn crop, he says,
was failure in the main, but all other
crops did fairly well. with present indica-
tions Of an acreage of at least $4,000 acres
put to that crop this fall, the acreage in
1883 was only 10000.
The most serious drawback for the pres
ent in Ness is the recent burning Of the
sugar mill Mr. Shafer says the cane crop
in that county is believed to be the best IN
the state, and the destruction of the mill
will be sore disappointment to the
friends of that industry who expected this
seasons operations to settle the question
of the practicability and profitableness of
sugar making in that section, though the
farmers who raised crops of cane will not
lose anything, since the cane will be worth
as much for feed as they would have real
lied at the mill, including the seed.

CIRCUIT COURT.

Judge Foster sat in Chambers yester-
day as circuit judge in the absence
of Judge Caldwell, in the case of
the Kilby Manufacturing company of
Cleveland, o., VS. the Ness County Sugar
company ct al. The case was an applica-
ton for foreclosure of mechanics lien
and appointment of receiver. The pros
ecution was represented by Judge Martin,
of Atchison, and the defense by Messrs.
George 5. Redd, of Ness City, and Robert
Dunlap, of Topeka Judge Foster allowed
the application inasmuch as it prayed for
the appointment of a receiver, but the
other issues will be brought up at some flu
ture time. No receiver was appointed last
night, but it is expected that some one
will be agreed upon this morning. The
kilby Manufacturing company sue on a
mechanics lien for $4,000, and the only
question at issue is whether the claim
takes precedence of the bonds TO the
amount of 1900 held by NJ. A f. Alvord,
of Boston.

LIHwooD FOR CAMP MEETING.

The city council is asked to allow a camp
meeting to occupy Linwood park. 1t is
promised that nothing shall be injured,
but the trees shall be made more graceful
by song and services. Some of the council
men, however. are very much afraid that
the influence will be such as TO knock the
bark off the trees and in due time the elms
will be so graceful they will fall down.
The committee on parks. Martin, Brown
and Carson, have the matter under consid-
Grafton with the power to report progress
or nothing Linwood is commencing to
look very much like park. The improve
ments made, while rather slow 10 put in
an appearance. have come all the same, and
in due time it is thought the donors will
not regret having entrusted the city with
the work of making the plot comfortable
if not a most delightful breathing spot.

IN A HARD GAME.

A red headed rooster from everywhere
has been in the city for some days and ac-
companied with gall sufficient TO tackle
the lawyers for money to get out of town.
He represents himself as belonging to the
loan office of Mcintosh * Gideon, of
Kansas City and came down to the COM
bination conventions and got on lark
or near by lark" and according to the
logical result in due time was "busted. 3"
He passed around among the "profesh"
and asked for various amounts from one
to ten dollars to get back. Yesterday he
called on the mayor for ticket to Denver
evidently having changed his mind about
his future business affairs. 1t is thought
he must he a new hand at the business or
an old one who thinks he is expert enough
to get money out of Wichita lawyers.

WANT KANSAS BEEF IN BOSTON.

Some Boston parties have written to
leading business men here wanting some
data about the beef packing business re-
lating to Wichita. They allege that they
contemplate putting in a beef packing
plant somewhere in the west, the object
being to ship the product direct to Boston
in refrigerator cars. They want kansas
beef in Boston. They have been eating
tough. rocky beef there for three or four
hundred years and having smiled on some
Kansas beef they find out a great differ
ence
1t is thought that within due time those
interested in the matter will come west to
make personal investigation and possibly

Thro' revolutions sacred pages,
We understand Gods plan,
Exchanging as the fiat which,
Created the first man.
Twas understanding memory, well
Equip'd him for the strife;
These gifts so God-lke were denied.
To other forms Of life.
Earth's secrets latent and obscure,
Thro' all the ages dim,
Were joyfully unfolded thro'
The God-like spark in him:
Majestic in his power. and wise
In many things, he'll fail
When perverse reason leads him to
The serpent's slimey trail.
Led captive by his low desires,
He spurns decipline's rod.
And sinks into materialism,
Afar from truth and God.
A love Of power fills his soul
Ambition fires his brain,
But the end he seeks, by human means,
He never can attain.
Friendship and love Of kind lie crush'd
Beneath his sordid feet,
And he sinks, "unhonor'd and unsunr,"
To Oblivion's cold retreat.
The cravings OF his hungry soul.
Were never satisfied
The supernatural for him
False science had destroyd.
To spend our days In serving self.
Forgetful OF the truth.
That should be iucuicated b.
The teachers Of our youth.
That he alone can have life,
OF bliss beyond the skies;
Who helps to raise his brothers man,
Or for his welfare dies.

UNITED STATES COURT,
Clyde Naddux Acquitted on the Charge OF Muir
der and the SwaIlow-COntent Case Called.

The Clyde Maddux case was argued yes
terday morning in the United States dis
trict court and given TO the jury at noon.
After being out for about an hour they
found verdict of acquital for the prisoner.
There is still another case pending against
the same defendant for the killing of a
colored man, which will probably not
come up this ternl The friends of the
prisoner claim that it was iustifable and
will be so determined when it comes to
trial.
During the afternoon the case of John
Swallow and Charles Content, charged
with murder, was called and
part of the evidence was
taken. 1t was continued over until today
for further hearing. 1t appears that Swal-
low ran ferry boat and became involved
in quarrel with a cattleman named Thos.
Angel, during the passage across the river.
Angel was killed as the result of the quar-
rel, and Content is made defendant, be-
ing implicated in the affair The evidence
submitted thus far is not sufficient to I'M
cover the history of the case.
A number of new indictment were found
yesterday by the grand jury but none were
no arrests having been made.

HIGH FIVE PARTY.

Mr.. John Stearnes, of South Water
street, entertained few friends at the
popular game of high five. The games
were pleasantly interrupted at half past
ten by the announcement of supper, and
the guests sat down to an elegant spread
composed of all the delicacies of the sea-
son. After supper dancing took the place
of cards and the balance of the evening
presided over by Terpsichore. The guests
took their departure at a late hour full of
pleasant reminders of most enjoyable
evening
