A SHOOTING scRaPE

The police authorities were called to the
northeastern part of the city last evening
to quell disturbance between two colored
men.
The disputants were John Lucas and a
man named Williams. It seems that
Lucas had toyed with the affections of a
young colored girl staying with Williams
Upon learning of this Williams advised
the girl to quit her bad lover, but the girl
still seemed to cling to the fellow and
when Lucas heard of what Williams told
the girl became furious. He swore he
would have revenge and accordingly
armed himself.
Williams lives at or near the corner of
Second street and Fifth avenue with his
wife and the girl in question. Williams
and the girl are employed in the Union
MOTEL at the stock yards, and while on
their way home last evening were sudden
ly confronted by Lucas a few feet from
their home. He commenced to heap abuse
upon Williams and worked himself up to
such pitch of excitement that he pulled
pistol on Lucas and fired several shots,
one shot grazing Williams face Mrs
Williams here appeared upon the scene
with huge carving knife and managed to
persuade Mr. Lucas to take to his heels,
with Mrs. Williams in pursuit. The now
thoroughly frightened negro ran as fast as
his feet would carry him. When the Off
GERS arrived upon the scene they found the
woman painting for breath, having just
returned from the chase. Williams is only
slightly hurt. The officers are on Lucas
trail, but at a late hour had not been
heard from,

The Notices Arc All Right.

Visitors to the clerks Office of the su-
perior court who have occasion to use
the writing table that stretches across
the room have been startled recently by
large placards taA;ed about two feet
apart informing whom it may con-
Germ that ''these inkstands must not
be taken away" Since these ink
stands" are about the size of the average
hat, and are kept filled with ink, the
warning seems quite as gratuitous as it
would be to placard notices TO people not
to walk off with red hot stove.
A lawyer who took offense at these
notices got one of the Office veterans in
a corner the other day and asked him if
he did not think such notice was car
rying a joke perilously far. The veteran
shook his head, and in saddened tones
thus answered.:
in the mistakes of the past we should
seek our guidance for the future. New
York Times.

THE woMAS,s COUNCIL.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
Wichita people are SO full of activity,
and have so many societies, that some of
the newcomers may not be aware that our
city has a local Woman's council-the only
one in the state-composed of thirteen
societies. and representing more than SIX
hundred women, banded together, and
committed TO the overthrow of all forms of
ignorance and injustice, aud the applica-
ton of the golden rule to society, custom
and law"
Already fraternal spirit is felt among
these different auxiliaries and petitions
were sent to the state legislature
asking for the appointment Of
police matrons in Kansas cities. CT would
seem a simple act of humanity, looking TO
the uplifting of the race, that where
women are arrested, and again, when
young girls are brought into police court
to be fined, some earnest woman should be
in charge) a petition WAS also sent ask
ing for the location at Wichita of a
hnmane industrial school for the youth of
both sexes, who if not trained in the
formative period of their lives are a
menace, and will soon become terror to
future generations. 1t behooves the
thoughtful men and women to plan to-
gether in this matter. These petitions
brought forth no direct results, but we
trust to so perfect and enlarge our number
of auxiliary societies as to increase our
influence Mesdames Dyer, Clark and
Miller are committee appointed to pre-
sent the councils aim and methods to
organizations not fully informed.

ARE THEY CRUEL?
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Is the use of the overhead check rein on
horses cruel? This question 1 wish to
bring before the attention of the public
through your columns. At the last
annual meeting of the American Humane
association, representing two hundred and
fifty humane societies throughout the
states and Canada, the use of the over
check was condemned. The sentiment of
the convention was not unanimous, how
ever, several horsemen justifying it's use.
The Humane society of this city proposes
to enforce the laws against cruelty, but it
does not intend to act hastily and I'M
advisedly where so general and apparently
innocent a practice is in question. On the
streets yesterday 1 counted forty-fve
horses wearing the over-check and six with
the side-check. This count includes only
horses driven to carriage While the use
of the over-check is warranted in the case
Of unruly horses, its worth in general is
questionable. Let US hear from horse
owners and others qualified to write on
the subject. President of the Humane
society.

MINISTER'S SOCIAL.

Some weeks ago the subject of occasional
meetings of the ministers of the city and
their families for the purpose of promot-
| Ing social interests, was discussed by the
City Ministerial association, and it was
voted to hold the first one Wednesday
| evening, May g. in the Central Christian
church, upon the invitation of the pastor,
Rev. l.. Z. Van Cleave. This meeting has
been the subject of much thought on the
part Of the ministers and many specula-
lions as to the success of the meeting. 1t
was evident from the start that ali the
ministers that could be at home on that
evening were heartily in favor of the social.
The company that gathered at the
church on Wednesday evening was quite
clerical in its appearance. Sixteen minis
tiers were present with some one of their
family with nearly every one: Rev. and
Mrs. j. A. Lawrence, Rev. j. w. Love and
Misses Jean and Alice Love, Rev. and Mrs.
c. Becktold, Rev. and Mrs L. T. Van
Cleave, Rev. A. W. Cummings, of Benton,
Kan; Rev. David Winters, Rev. w. l.
Doole, Rev. j. J. Shepard. Rev. L. w.
Bicknell, Rev. and Mrs. L. H. Share, Rev.
and Mrs w. H. Robinson, Rev. and Mrs.
B. f. Watson, Rev. and Mrs. G. S. Nus
baum, Rev. J. NJ. Atwater and Miss Mabel,
Rev. and Mrs. J. NJ. Munroe, Rev. and
Mrs J. B. Reynolds
After a pleasant social time
J. A. Lawrence, president of the
association called the company
to order and all united in singing, ''Blest be
the tie that binds" etc. Reading of Psalms
l, 2, 3 and %. Prayer by J. j. Shepard
and followed with a solo by Mrs. j. NJ.
Munroe. After a solo by B. f. Watson,
Mrs. Lawrence thought by certain tokens
visible in the room that it would be Just
the thing to return to the social part of
the meeting, when Mr.. Van Cleave took
charge of affairs, and in few words, in be-
half of the ladies Of the Central Christian
church, invited the ministers and their
ladies to tables for refreshments. This
part of the work had been placed in the
hands of Mrs. Judge Reed, Mrs. w. T.
Bishop, Mrs. l. w Gill and Mrs. l.. S.
Naftzger. "A more dainty repast never
tempted the appetites of the gods" than
had been prepared by the ladies for this
occasion. The ministers voted the ladies
royal entertainers.
After refreshments the following toasts

The first social was a grand success, aud
all the ministers will look forward to the
time for the next meeting.

man who lives at Pasadena, Cal, was as

animal lay there inert, with open eyes,
oblivious of everything. The man called =

was found eating at a hsystack, but with

followed, and it was found that the cow
had eaten copiously of the refuse OF a

of grape skins and stems, had fermented
and induced a state of intoxicatiop.

TACK FROM EUROPE.

Mrs. Mary j. Sherman, who has been in
Germany for eighteen months or more in
pursuit OF art studies, arrived home night
before last. She sailed in the steamer
Almes, from Bremen, on the 14th of April,
and was nine days on the water, owing to
unfavorable weather. For the last year
and a half, almost. Mrs. S. has devoted
her time to painting, for the most of that
time under the instruction of an eminent
Darmstadt artist AS her friends know,
she had natural aptitude or genius for
drawing and for colors, having executed
several pieces years ago in both crayon
and Oil without any instructions or par
ticular practice. She started to bring
home some of her class work, but the ex-
perts in the New York custom house
wouldn't let them pass rs amateur work
OF her own, holding the pieces. which
were simply rolled up as canvass, as works
OF art. which can only be released on the
certificate of the Art Association of
Darmstadt that they were painted
by and for herself and not
for SALE All this proved very annoying
for Mrs. s. The custom house officials
expressed themselves as very sorry, but
assured her that after all it was a compli-
ment to her work, which, of course it was.
Mrs. Sherman remarks many changes
for the better in Wichita, intimating how
glad people ought to be of home in such
a town as this, in America, where every
thing seems on much more generous
scale; where life is not bound up and con-
fined to grooves and iron-clad convention
alities; to cold, prim proprieties and inflex-
IDLE rules, that render even home life in
Europe kind Of automatic dress parade.
We DO not know but probably Mrs. Sher-
man will continue in her chosen life, and
when time and circumstances warrant will
doubtless open school of painting.
