ADJUSTMENTS.

The exhibition given by Annie Abbott
at the opera house last evening was truly
wonderful, and the audience was both
pleased and myssiied. The lady styles
herself "The Human Magnet" and the
term comes nearer to defining her peculiar
powers than any other that could be used.
Her feats are simply marvellous She
stands before her audience upon COM
mon wooden platform, and there is not the
least sign or attempt at deception. The
little lady battles science and scientists,
and does so in such good-natured,
good humored, smiling way that
they are more perpiexed than
ever. She is no trickster; she is phenom-
enon. A number of well known citizens
were invited upon the stage TO witness
some of the remarkable feats performed
by this young lady, such as lifting men,
holding a billiard cue against the COM
bined efforts of three and four men to
move it from her hands, in all the per-
Torrance was a most remarkable one.
The performance tonight will end the en-
gagement in the city. Seats may be
secured at any time during the day at the
box Office. The audience tonight will no
doubt be large one as the advance sale
of seats is quite large.

HOGS AND WHEAT.

A. w. Oliver came in yesterday on the
Missouri Pacific from St. Louis, where he
had been all week attending to business
matters He took occasion while absent
to have a number of important conferences
with members of the Board of Commerce
engaged in the grain and elevator bust
ness with reference to the immense out
put of wheat now promised to South Kan
sas the present season, and to generally
strengthen the feeling of reciprocity ex-
listing between Wichita and St. Louis.
Mr. John w hittaker, of the firm of Francis
Whitaker q Sons, expects to be in our
city within few days. That gentleman
is alarmed at the way the farmers of
South Kansas are dumping their hogs on
to the markets. He is afraid that they are
robbing themselves in almost a wholesale
manner, because such hogs bring but a
poor price per pound, while, if held they
would not only weigh twice what they do
now, but bring at least half more per
hundred weight. In other words a half
developed pig worth S. now, would weigh
twice as much fully developed, which
would be 80, but being worth at least
half as much more per pound, would be
SIS. That is many of the half grown hogs
being sold now, would bring fully three
times as much when fully grown.

bonds These gentlemen report good sue
cess and admirable progress in their work.

next month, while Mr.. Seppings will re-
main TO complete all the details Of the
railroad deal They have also interested
English capitalists in the Cherokee oil
syndicate When Mr.. Seppings returns he
will bring with him large number OF en-
igrants who will form a valuable sQuisi-
ton to the lively colony now at Runny-
mede The work on the railroad Is TO
commence by September LIST.

He was walking down upper Fifth ave-

women. Hewas an actor, and walked with
even more than the usual strut. At such

to ensnare him, and which, being trodden

Involuntarily the ladies, who had seen
the whole occurrence, giggled audibly.
They knew it wasn't proper, but they really
couldn't help themselves.
Even as the victim waved his arms wildly
and turned half way around in his struggle
with the skin, he had seen the smiles and
heard the silvery laughter, and as the pave
ment struck him every other feeling gave
way to great and burning desire for re-
venge.
AS the ladies, therefore, would have
passed him by-still lying on the wslk-on
the other side, hollow groan came from
his lips His legs were drawn spasnodi-
cally up and then kicked violently out
again. His whole body writhed and twist

MANAGING Mothers.

It Is often said that romance Is shocked
at the idea Of a mother finding husband
for her daughter, but delicacy Is equally
shocked at young girl hunting a husband
entirely by herself. Mother and home

refuse to acknowledge the wisdom and re-
specsability Of the English custom that 50

OAK STREET TO BE FIXED.

Street Commissioner Campbell tackled
Oak street with the full street force yes
terdsy morning. Oak street is the most
constantly used cross-street in the city,
Douglas avenue excepted. Some OF the
old Doodle gang attempted to force the
property holders to pave it in some of
their schemes year or so ago. Failing IN
that, the street was neglected and much Of
the past winter, notwithstanding the great
travel. has been almost impossible. But
Commissioner Cam pbell, who fully appre-
ciates the situation and understands what
is necessary to put the street into passable

doubt before he gets through will have the
street in good shape He has been at
work on some of the north and south
avenues, which are now smooth and ina

IN THE TERRITORY.

Capt Woodson, of the United States
army, stationed at Fort Reno, was in the
city last evening An EAGLE representa-
found the gentleman at the Carey. When
questioned what he thought about the
number Of Indians who would object to
the treaty, he stated that about one-thIrd
of the number would probably object at
first, but that with the army's aid in
pursuading them, he thought they could
be pacified.
The general inspector, Dunkin. and Col.
Finke, of Boston, are at present
in the territory enrolling the Indians
preparatory to making them their first
payment This will be made about May
and will amount to $780, 900.
He anticipates but little serious trouble
with the red men and thinks the matter
can be speedily settled.
The report in yesterdays EAGLE regard
ing cattle being at present in the territory,
was verified.

whose pathos thrilled her whole being. He
pointed to an object in the background Of

on the high, peaked roof of an old mill

THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs BALL.

The competitive drill and grand ball
given under the auspices of Wichita Di-
vision No 2, Uniform Rank K. Of P,
came off last evening at the armory hall
and was in every way great success.
Thee Exercises of the evening began about 9
o'clock with the individual drill of the
members of the Wichita division; Capt.
Hotchkin drilled the members. The
Judges were Capt. Irving Osborne, of the
Wichita Light infantry, A. r. Ainsworth,
ex-captain, and Otto Wester the present
captain of Pluto Division No. 6, of New
tor, Kan. There were thirty
nine commands in the drill schedule,
the scoring being based upon the
maximum of ten points for the execu-
ton of each command. The score of Sir
knight Urban Bryan. the winner of the
prize. was stated by the judges to be an
exceptionally high one, particularly high
in marching and foot movements as the
floor was very slippery The prize was
handsome gold medal of the latest design
of the emblem of the K. of P. and the Uni
form Rank and is in size about as large as
a half dollar. Upon the top of this
is the helmet, all being hung from
gold bar upon which is to
be engraved the name of the
owner. Personally Mr.. Bryan is great
favorite in the division and as each would
have been well pleased to have worn the
medal, yet they were all well satisfied and
pleased that the prize had fallen where 1t
did. The score of each member and the
order in which they drilled was as follows:
Lee jerome, 1861 A T. Payne, 1909; Bert
McCausland, 1856; E. S. Webb. 1868; Jesse
Wingert, 1923; Thomas Yount, 1040; E. w.
Spofford, 9S3; Otto Koch. $40; Hollowell,
946; Urban Bryan, 1116-out of a pos
sible 1170-this average being made
by taking the totals of the workings Of the
judges
Following the competitive drill came the
grand march, in which about $50 couples
took part Dancing was INDUCED in until
about 11;30, when an intermission was
taken. Here an exhibition drill by Pluto
Division, No. 6. of Newton, was given.
The division present fine ap-
pearance and gave splendid drill,
eXcelling in fancy movements and
line wheeling. They will doubtless prove
dangerous rivals in the prize drill to be
given at the encampment to be held in tbs
city next month The dancers enjoyed a /
banquet at IL o'clock at the Manhattan
AS society event and pleasantly spent
evening, those who attended will always
it. The hall was beautifully
decorated in bunting, the colors of the
order, and a profusion of flowers and
evergreens. Excellent music was furnished
by the Board of Trade orchestra. Mr.. |
George Fitting had charge of the floor.

ladies and friends. came in on a special
