THE BEFORE AND AFTER TAKING.

The old passeng ger depot at Oak and
fth is likely to be removed within a few
weeks The program j. to break it inoO
small pieces and send it off to other points
where needed. A rumOr has il that fire
is likely to appear in the building some
night and the aforesaid fire assisted by a
little coal oil may destroy the building de-
spite the efforts Of the fire department. 1t
is not known yet whether this coal oil job
will be given TO Passenger Agent Murdoch
or Freightman Davis. 1t is thought Davis
would consider it an awfully hard job and
might detail Hagney.
Another scheme is proposed which init
mates that the city council will issue
bonds, purchase the building and the mud
hole just south, to keep as a sort of land
mark The more bonds necessary
the better, but possibly not ex-
coed 100000 and the mud hole
and all the unoccupied territory round
about be paved with jasperite The jas
rite to be perforated with water fountains
in which will bobble decOy ducks, if not
live ducks, and possibly some wild ducks
would come around inviting to marksmen
1t is also thought the old freight depot

To buy ii for two or three hundred thou
sound dollars and preserve it as before
taking" TO compare il with the new Santa
Fe depot as after taking would, as esti-
mated, outside of any per cents that might
come up in the deal, prove a good adver-
tisement. 1t is argued that if the Santa
Fe company has not enough pride and in
terest in Wichita to preserve the old build
ing by way OF advertisement certainly the
council ought to take enough interest in
about such deal, especially when
there was a chance 10 issue bonds. Coun-
Gilman johnson, although not father of
the scheme, is giving the matter his earnest
attention, and as chairman of the improve
ment committee, may be called upon to
introduce a resolution to declare it neces-
,ary TO issue bonds and make the deal

a FINANCIAL AFFAIR.
The Remarkable Success of BERTHE and
the Secret of 1t.

The Remarkable Success of BERTHE and
the Secret of 1t.
When Berthe Fitzmordaunt Townsend
brought his dull, blase manner, his En-
glisb accent, his craventan gloves, his
carefully creased, twenty-five inch trou-
sers, and his enameled leather shoes with
spotlessly white overgaiters, into the office
of Lewis & Haydock, it is needless TO say
that he created profound sensation. The
porters always took off their hats 10 him,
and country customers mistOOk him for a
special partner. However, all this gor-
geousness cost the house only the mere
trife of s. per week.
BERTHE was young gentleman Of wealthy
and aristocratic antecedents. He had been
rusticated from Harvard, where he had
done his best TO convince his father that a
son at college was nearly as expensive a
luxury as a steam yacht, and had been
placed with US in order to give him a
chance to form some idea of the laborious-
ness of the money getting process.
Mr.. Lewis said he was cheap at any
price, for whenever he felt blue over the
drop in Astrakhans or the slow sale of
dress goods he had only to look at BERTHE,
and fierce desire 10 get up and kick him
would arise and sweep from his mind all
gloomy and depressing thoughts.
By way of a start BERTHE was detailed to
look after the smaller city collections, and
we used TO picture to ourselves the con-
sternation of the tradesman whose little
shop was invaded by SO overpowering
parsonage,
But we soon had reason to admit that he
was not so stupid as he looked, for the
small bills were henceforth collected with
unusual ease and rapidity.
Delinquent debtors paid up long stand
ing accounts in a manner that was truly
marvellous.
But the climax was reached when BERTHE
turned in the sum of S475, which he said
was in settlement of the five years old ac
count of Mrs. Mary MCGEE, No. 4, 765 Third
avenue.
On this occasion Mr.. Lewis called him
into the private Office and congratulated
him on his success, remarking that if he
kept up this creditable display of business
enterprise he would unquestionably do
velop into future A. T. Stewart
But the crash was TO come. One day
Mrs. McGee came into the store, and as a
necessary preliminary to obtaining more

bookkeeper looked the matter up and told
her it was paid in full. She said it was not
He insisted that it was, and a wordy dis
cussion ensued, which resulted in her put
ting her money in her pocket, and depart
ing with happy grin on her face.
When BERTHE came in from his rounds
the bookkeeper tackled him.
Isn't Mary McGee's account settled"
Certainly" returned BERTHE.
But she was in today and wanted TO
pay it."
"Well, it's paid, We know; ought to
know, ye know, for-ah-I-ah-paid it me-
self, bah Joveg
you paid it YOURSELF"
"Yaas got tired of going to see the
beggah-the lahdy, mean-and 1 paid it
myself TO save bother"
An investigation proved that BERTHE had
pursued this course wherever collections
were difficult, and his brilliant financial
career came to an abrupt and untimely
close.-Harry Romaine in Life.

THE CHEROKEE OIL.
Mr.. Martin Keller Fresh from the Oil Wells OF
the United STATES OH Companv.

Mr.. Martin Heller reached home yester-
day morning from the Cherokee country,
where he is engaged in the oil fields. Mr..
Heller is one of Wichita's old time citizens
and, while this is his home, he has for
nearly two years been giving his interests
in the Cherokee country considerable at
tention. The most of his time is spent in
country, prospecting and looking over the
work being done.
Mr.. Heller is one of the organizers of the
United States Oil company, which has a
lease with the Cherokees, covering mill
ions of acres, and the wells put down are
four in number, about seventy-five miles
northeast Of Taleguah. In each they found
oil, but it is not thrown out like it is from
many wells in the oil fields of Pennsylva-
MIA. So far there are no "gushers," but
it is necessary TO pump The best we'll
produces only twenty barrels per day,
while the poorest shows only rour barrels
But with this luck, while poor in yield, it
shows that there is oil in that country,
and is quite encouraging to the company
The geologist in charge is very busy max
ing surveys, and in trying to get the data
showing the crest and trough of the earth
waves, and from this to locate the oil belt.
The company propose TO put down some
more wells, commencing very soon, and
VIII give that section a thorough test.

WICHITA AND IL PASO RAILWAY
ELECTION.

From the Harper City Sentinel.
Next Tuesday, Jan. &, 1891, the voters of
Harper township will have an opportunity
to decide whether or not they consider the
building of the Wichita and Fl paso
railway will be an advantage to this sec
tion of the country.
few days ago we questioned Messrs. +.
J. :. lurnly and George ID. Seppiugs the
agents for the syndicate of capitalists who
are hacking the enterprise, as to proposed
plans OF their company il constructing
the road, our object being to acquaint the
legal voters living in the territory of which
aid is asked with the facts in the case.
From them we learned that the Wichita
and FL pa>o Railroad company has no
connection whatever with any road now in
operation, aud also that they intend build
ing aS an independent line. After leaving
Wichita Its headquarters. the road will be
built through Norwich and Bennett
township, kingman county, and
thence through Harper township
to tins city. The voters of Bennett
township at the election on Tuesday
last showed their belief in the Importance
of this line by practically unanimous
vote in favor Of issuing the bonds When
this much of the road Is completed the
company intends to carry the line on to
Fl PaSo, Tex, thus giving the country
along its entire route an outlet. both east
and west, such as l. offered 10y no other
means An inspection Of the map shows
that the proposed line would traverse an
immense tract of country TO the south
west not occupied by any competing line
of railroad.
They informed Us that the distance from
Harper to Wichita would be shortened
eighteen miles. and the gaining Of a direct
line would reduce the time between the
places at least one half This fact would
insure greater benefit TO the farmers and
shippers of live stock than 70 any other
class, on account Of the small per cent OF
loss IN shrinhage IN shipping so short
distance

a STRANGE PROCEEDING.

All persons are warned neither to buy or
trade with w. A. Watson for any of the
Andrews Combined Marriage Certifi-
Gates" They were obtained by means of
fraud .. J. ANDREWS
The above, under the head of notice"
appearing in Sunday mornings issue,
seems calculated to do a man of honest in
tentions and a straightforward life not
only financial injury but to cast a cloud
upon his character. Mr. w. a Watson,
who is well known to many in this COM
munity and who is offering the marriage
certificates for sale called yesterday and
exhibited not only an undoubted authority
to sell the same, but all the necessary
papers signed by Andrews, together with
the publishers certificates and agreements
which were also cOuntersigned by An
drews. Who the author of the above pub
LEGATION may be the writer has no idea, but
he Is thoroughly satisfied of Mr. Watson's
trustworthiness and of his honest inten-
tentions. 1t is sure upon its face that be is
not and cannot swindle anyone, as the GER
tliicates which he has speak for themselves
and nobody is asked TO pay until they have
received the goods. Mr.. Watson owes it
to himself to make it warm for Mr.. Adj

ENGINE DISABLED.

The governor of the big engine at the
power house of the electric railway took Il
visit last evening shortly after 6 o'clock.
The vacation lasted for an hour, during
which time there was an unusually large
amount of emphatic remarks among those
VINO wished to get home. The cars stop
ped wherever they CHANGED TO he at the
time and remained until the power was
turned on. The passengers waited for a
few minutes, when most of them gave up
all hopes and took walk.
The damage consisted more in the loss
nickles than in the cost of repairing at
the station. Manager Fitch was riding n
white horse last night talking about luck
and confined most of his remarks along
that line. The two small engines provided
to help out in emergencies are not yet
ready. One IS over on Riverside. but the
lesson last night, according to Mr.. Fitch,
is about enough 10 rush the work of in
creasing the capacity Of the plant to meet
emergencies.

GOOD PEOPLE.

The Cleveland Minstrels is an Organiza-
tion of great strength and popularity. and
a company of unusual merit, containing
as it does in its roster the names of some
of the greatest minstrel celebrities.
The young manager, Cleveland, can be
Justly titled the Napoleon of all minstrel

season a minstrel company of such ac-
kuowledged merit that his fame has eX-
tended broadcast throughout the land. and
the name of Cleveland is now a voucher
for all'that is great and good in the min
strel world. His success has been phenOm-
email He is only Is years of age and his
wealth is estimated at over Il hundred
thousand dollars, and every penny of it
made in three years out of his minstrel en-
terprises. This is, indeed, a bright record
for young man.
Some call it luck remarked a we'll
known theatrical man, "but that is sheer
nonsense Will Cleveland has had hard
uphill fight from the start and has had
more reverses than any young man in the
profession, but the secret of his success
has been his plucky perseverance in the
face of overwhelming odds, combined with
toll and hard work, with good judgment
and sound business principles thrown in.
During the past two years he has real
lied the fruit of his early struggles Last
season the companies closed the season big

TO put out three companies of equal merit.

There are over 5000 buildings in Phil

for light and power purposes. During
the year the insurance companies writ
ing these risks have not suffered dol
lars loss from fires caused by electric
wires, Fires from this cause in previous
years have been so few and far between
as TO create great surprise when they
did occur. A perfect understanding is

result Of this is good insulations. which

Y. w. c. A.
Financial Secretary.

To the Editor Eagle.
The anniversary meeting Of the Young
Women's Christian association was one of
great interest to the association and its
friends. One pleasing feature was the
solos, given by Mrs. Robinson and Miss
Nina Caldwell. Another was the reports.
These reports for the year showed devo-
tion to the cause on the part of its officers,
board of managers and committees, which
speaks volumes in these times OF financial
depression. For a band of women to I'M
dertake and carry forward such work, at
such a time, means not only work, but
also precious time, thought and money.
These have been cheerfuIly given
aud the various committees report a good
degree of progress in the various depart
ments of the work. The Bible classes,
which are FIVE in number, have met regu-
larly each week with an average attend
ance of eight members each. The girls OF
the city have only awaited themselves of
the advantages of two of the educational
classes. The chart or dressmaking class
and the music class. EIghty-iive music
lessons have been given to members OF the
latter class in the past six months. The
highest number taking lunch at the rooms
in any one day is thirteen, and the whole
number since November |, 200 The com
mittee on employment has found homes
for number of girls, the needy have been
helped, the homeless sheltered, and some
souls brought to Christ. a cottage of four
rooms has been rented, furnished and kept
open throughout the year. The committee
on finance report nearly four hundred dol
lars collected during the year, which, adj
ded to the balance in the treasury last
January, made nearly five hundred dol
lars, which has been disbursed by the
treasurer in carryiJ on the work. Miss
Emma Shafer. who was general secretary
of the association for seven months and
half, was not able to be present at the
meeting. owing to delay of trains by the
storm. but her report, together with 9th
ers, will probably be printed later
