SERVICES AT THE TABERNACLE.

The services at the Christian tabernacle
on the corner of third and Topeka was at
tended by deeply interested audience last
night. The roof had been covered with
tar paper during the day so there was no
fear of the occupants getting wet in case
of a shower.
The song service was lead by Prof
Halves with the solo, II Know that My
Redeemer Liveth, and during the rendi-
ton there reigned breathless silence and
attention.
Rev. Updike came forward on the plat
form and announced his theme in a clear
voice, 1.-The wages of sin is death. Rom.
vi; 90 The speaker said:
Sin is the most expensive thing in the
universe. 1t has robbed God and man. 1t
has perverted and wasted the most pre-
cious gifts and endowments which have
distinguished the creature man,
or portrayed divine goodness, and so forth.
1t has perverted the use of time, of talents,
of gold and power. 1t has wasted the op-
portunities in which to lay up imperish-
able treasures. 1t has destroyed youth,
manhood, home, hope and oil the powers
of mind and heart. It fills the prisons.
1t fills the graves and peoples hell.
Why is it there is no more conscience
than there is? 1t is because of sin. What
so much blinds the moral vision? 1t is
sin.
His sermon was listened to with rapt at
tention and the audience was at times
deeply effected by Mr.. Updke's words.
The meetings continue each evening and
begin at o'clock.

CAPITALISTS COMING,
by Men Who Have no Question OF
the City's Great Future.

Reference was made in our Sundays is
sue to some important real estate trans
actions wherein eastern capitalists had,
quired considerable Wichita city property
within the week or two last past. An
other IDEAL was consumated yesterday
which interests one of the well-known
millionaires of America in Wichita.
Chas S. Hinchman, of Philadelphia, the
well-known.. Pennsylvania steel and iron
manufacturer, and who is interested in
the iron fields of the south, one of the
original proprietors of the Kansas Pacific
railway, and known to be several times
millionaire, who had business in the west,
at the suggestion of B. H. Lockwood, of
Anthony, stopped on his way west
last Saturday to look Wichita over,
having spent day or two in
Kansas City. He reported to Geo.
II. Blackwelder & Co, who took him out
for ride in the cool of the evening. He
was well posted as to Wichita and related
with evident pleasure the doleful tales
poured into his ears by Kansas City's real
estate men. OF the properties pointed out
by Mr.. Blackwelder as being for sale he
selected 81, 900 worth inside of two hours
ride. Among the pieces bought are the
D. L. Green three-story brick on West
Douglass avenue and the Hodgson build
ing on North Main street. Mr.. Hinchman
returned here yesterday on his way home,
selecting nearly 81, 900 worth of additional
unimproved real estate. He says whatever
may be the future Of the towns and cities
of the Missouri river and of the west,
which have overreached themselves in
their ambition to floor rivals and become
metropolises, Wichita's future is assured.
That growth and spread and build UP as
she may and must as a center of trade, she
cannot possibly get beyond her magnif
cent surroundings which must sweep up
with a development that will lay in the
shade the country growths which build
Kansas City and Omaha. Mr.. Hinch
mans Judgment is not only valua-
BILE and his conclusions weighty, but
he becomes friend whose undoubted in
fuence will count among other capitalists.
As man whose foresight has never mis-
led him he sees that no city in the west,
great or small, offers such chances for
profitable investment. With its undoubted
great future, investments made with
closed eyes, anywhere within the limits of
the city, at ruling prices, could not fail of
being immensely profitable, and in the
very near future. And investments are
being made daily. The same firm that
sold to Mr.. Hinchman has sold within ten
days upwards of forty thousand dollars of
Wichita property to parties buying solely
as an investment in which they deem the
chances for great returns better than are
offered or afforded by any other city in the
west.

LIGHTNING'S FREAKS.

During the rain and hail storm yester-
day afternoon the two-story frame build
ing on the corner of Usage and Cherokee
streets. West Side, was struck by light
ming and considerably wrecked. The
fluid descended the chimney and seemed
to charge the whole building. Three of
the four corners were splintered, part of
the siding on the north side knocked off
and portions of the weather-b boarding from
all sides removed. The only occupant OF
the building at the time, an old man
named Gaines, was lying on bed near
one corner of the building; the electric
fluid completely enveloping him, setting
fire to an umbrella that was on the floor
under the bed. The old man was pretty
severely shocked but sustained no serious
injury.
The building was not valuable one,
and on account of the purposes for which
it has been used for several weeks no
regret is felt in the neighborhood that it
was rendered uninhabital
Messrs. Calhoun and Bowman were
standing in the door of the Office of the
ice factory, about a square away, looking
toward the building when 1t was struck,
and they say it was almost enveloped in a
cloud of dust or vapor for two or three
minutes. The escape of the old man was
next to miraculous.

CHRISTIAN TABERNACLE.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
AS announced two weeks since, Evange-
lists Updike and Halves, began gospel
services at the large tabernacle at the cor
ner of Topeka avenue and Third street
Being delayed by washOut on the rail
road, they did not arrive at the tabernacle
until 11:40 a. IN. Sunday, too late for a
morning sermon. The service was largely
attended and the tabernacle was proven a
very small place for divine worship. At
$3.50 p. m, Mr.. Updike conducted a
workers meeting, which was we'll
attended, and in which he gave evidence
of superior generalship. At p. N. the
tabernacle was packed and hundreds were
turned away. In this service Mr.. Halves
sang his first solo. and won all hearts as
sweet singer OF the Savior's infinite love
Mr. Updike preached an impressive sermon
from the text Preach the Word"
Monday evening at O'Clock the taber-
nacle was well filed. The sermon and solo
were up to the standard. The rain
proved our roof to possess too many of the
good qualities of sieve to make the ser
vice complete success. Tuesday was
spent in making the tabernacle water
proof 1t was thoroughly tested by the
rain and hail storm in the afternoon. 1t
did not leak drop. In the future you
may have no fears. Come, and it shall be
made pleasant and beneficial for you
Consider yourself personally invited to at
tend when possible. Messrs. Cpdike and
Halves are here to preach and sing the
truth of God. only this, and nothing more.
Yours to please, L. I. VAN CLEAvE-

THEoLoGUEs AND REPORTERS.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
There appeared in a recent issue of the
EAGLE, and also in an evening paper of
this city, articles rejecting very unjustly
upon two young men. The Winfield
Courier is largely responsible for the mis-
statements
In the first place neither Princeton
seminary, of which they are students, nor
Princeton university, two distinct corpora
tons has any responsibility in the matter
The young men are commissioned by
the board of Sabbath school work at
Philadelphia, and to labor under the direc-
ton OF the committee living here, When
they were assigned it was on the SUPPOSE
tion that the portion Of Indian territory
known as the strip" would be opened for
settlement this spring AS all know this
expectation has not been realized. Owing
to the lack of a definite understanding
between the board and the committee, the
latter had nothing for them TO do, when
they came 10 Wichita. Pending their
transfer TO a more weSiernly district, and
to which they have now gone, they looked
over several counties in this region and
were glad to find them well supplied with
schools Instead OF being fresh as in
simulated in the articles referred to, both of
the gentlemen are bright and active. and
have seen more of the world than their
defamers. One of them, a resident of
Baltimore, spent last summer i'm similar
work in the north west part OF Kansas, and
has q better knowledge of the state than
the majority of our own people. In con-
clusion, the writer of this. who knows all
the facts in the case. suggests that if the
Winfield reporter will scratch around he
may discover something 10 cluck about
that will be more palataole TO an
intelligent public.

ANOTHER WICHITA NANUFAoroRY.

which was made in these columns a short
time ago. has reftted and furnished with
new machinery his planning mill on the
West Side that was partially burned sew

tory and viii produce his invention for the
trade. He has one order for three dozen
of the patent feeders from single firm in
the central portion Of the state. besides
number of smaller orders from other local
titles. Mr.. Holmes will have force of
forty mechanics az work next week which
will be the full capacity Of his West Side
factory, and he expects he will find it
necessary TO start up auxiliary factories in

invaluable invention.

A CERIOUS WELL

Some gentlemen composing a fishing
party returned from Providence Wells, in
Butler county, yesterday and they relate
queer story.
A few years ago well was bored for
mineral water, in which this locality
abounds, and at depth of several hun
dred feet the point of the drill dropped
through into what seemed to be a subter-
anean cavern. This excited very little
comment at the time as such occurrences
are not infrequent. Another we'll was
bored several hundred feet from the local
ity of the lost drill but was subsequently
abandoned aud the hole plugged up at the
surface. A few days ago some one
removed the ping and on doing so
peculiar sound issued from the
well. The roar or buzzing sounded like a
distant threshing machine, or as one of
the party described it, like the hum of a
swarming hive of bees.
The circumstance has attracted a num-
Der of curious visitors to the spot and
many theories are advanced to explain the
phenomenon. The most current theory is,
that there is an underground stream of
water into which the drill dropped, and
which at the second well falls over an
underground precipice or rocky rapids.
thus communicating the sound to the
tubing of the well.
This tubing is about eight inches in di-
ameter and the water at the bottom, which
is plainly visible, is tranquil and appar-
emily unconscious of the roar beneath and
the curiosity of visitors above. The gen.
tlemen who furnished the EAGLE with the
information have no explanation to offer,
but suggest that it may be an object
worthy of scientific Investigation.
