FAMOUS BANDIT HUNTER.
His Sensational Account of tn
 Death of Count Cnvour.

His Sensational Account of the
 Death of Count Cnvour.
 The memoirs of Domenico Cappa, till his recent death for many years chief of the Milan police, throw more light on the historic figure of Count Cavour than many much more pretentious works.
 Cappa was the son of Piedmontese miller. He was expected by his family to follow the business of his father, but he ran off, joined the army, left it to become a waiter in Paris, and brought up at the age of twenty-five in the Italian political police. He showed himself to be born detective, and his talents soon secured for him the post of body guard of Cavour. The invariable daily duty of Cappa was to follow his master in the streets, in the departments, and at the public receptions, from seven o'clock in the morning until midnight Every minute of his waking hours, hardly excepting the time for his nasty meals, was devoted to protecting the minister from the spies and enemies that surrounded him.
 'The peace of Villafranca was conclu- ded :" wrote Cappa, tand the senator Ca vcur) retired from office. A few days af- ter this unhappy event the senator, with distorted features and glowing eyes, sud denly left the house at night and hurried of toward the Lungo Pc. I followed him sorrowfully. Unexpectedly he stood stock still, snatched his high hat from his head, and, with one blow of his heavy fist, smashed it flat After minute he pushed the hat out again as well as he could, put the remnant of it on hi, head, and, with out a word, walked back home. At the door he hesitated as if he did not know what to say to me. Then he raised his sunien head and, still silent, stretched out his hand. I caught it, pressed it and kissed it, and then hastened away that he might not see my tears. On the next day my master said to me: "My friend, to- day I leave Turin for long time; you are free.'"
 When Cayour returned to power in 1860 Cappa was again at his heels, and remained there till shortly before the statesman's | death. The detective's narrative of Ca | vour's last days is sensational in it's differ ence from the usual historical version. | Cavour, he relates, had a Polish mistress of rare beauty, whom he loved deeply. One afternoon her servant went to Capps
 with the story that the Polish woman had betrayed Cavour and received another lov-
 CT. The servant was eager to convey this information to Cavour in the hope of Sc | curing @ reward for his pains. Capps
 wished to protect his master from the pair l of the revelation and e1scted from tn,

A white-haired man at the insurance convention was talking to another delegate about successful agents. "TheIe are very few successful life insurance solicitors, '" he said. iIn the whole of the United States there are not more than 100 life solicitors who are in demand. The business is one of the most difficult in the whole range of business.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Dress reform has met severe setback in Germany by the action of Empress Augusta, who has declined the presidency of the German Dress Reform association, on the ground that she considers the pres ent style of dress quite good enough.
 Occasionally there is something that looks like luck. Ten years ago Leroy Payne, a Chicago iveryman, leased some property on Michigan avenue for ninety nine years at an annual rental of $2, 100. Now he has an offer of $24 900 year fol an eighty-nine years' lease of the same property.
 Professor Eben Norton Horsford says that for six years he has abandoned al other work for the problem of discovering the diseoverers of America.

matter to Cavour. Then he went to the Polish woman with the accusations. She protested vehemently her innocence, and in fact convinced Cappa that her servant had lied. In the midst of the interview, however, Cavour, who, meantime, had heard the servants story, broke in upon Cappa and the woman, and, in 6 passion, dismissed the faithful detective ftfor help ing to deceive him." As the faithful Cap pa left the room the spurned woman called after him:
 "Mark it-when your master returns to me he will return to die"
 His dismissal from Cavour's service was hard blow to Cappa- He became de- spondent, wandered aimlessly through the streets night and day, refused to eat and eventually shot himself. The wound was severe, and for many weeks Csppa hung between life and death. When he recey- cred sufficiently to be again in the street he learned that Csvour had gone back to the Polish woman, and almost immediate ly after the reconciliation had died Her threat was at once in Cappa's mind, and he went to see her. She had disappeared, and all the efforts of the keen and devoted detective resulted in failure to find trace of her. Cappa's firm belief was that Ca vour's death was caused by her hand.
 After Cavour's death Cappa joined the criminal police. His remarkable ability was then first disclosed to the world. He became the most celebrated bandit hunter in Italy, He made all his great captures of counterfeiters, professional highway, men and murderers without help. At the time when the French dssperado Rossignol was in hiding with a price on his head, and his capture was pronounced impossi- ble by all the rest of the Italian police, Cappa bet with the mayor of Turin that he would catch the man in two weeks. After four days and nights of incessant work Cspps traced Rossignol to Genoa, and on the fifth night arrested him there with his own hands.
 Cappa was a unique figure in Milan. He always appeared in the street in & time worn high hat and long coat with flap ping tails, and carried faded green sun umbrella. He was a mild-mannered, pi- ous old man, with strong love for chil- drsn and 8 little smile for everybody. Not look or gesture under ordinary cir cumstances gave a hint of his perfect fearlessness and Dsrnetual alartnsss

SICKNESS TREES AND VALUES.

1t was hoped, following the EAGLES ar!
ticles of last spring, that there would be
general trimming up Of shade trees Id
yards and along streets, as indicated and
urged. There are eight north and south
streets. of long stretches of miles and ter
shorter east and west streets the trees
along which ought to be trimmed imme-
diately to twice their present height. An
eastern gentleman who came here the lasb
week to purchase two or three pieces of
improved residence property said that
Wichitas low, dense shade trees made an
unfavorable imp Assion. where by trimm-
ing up twenty br thirty feet the same
trees would become delight and render
the city much mare attractive to proposed
eastern investors like himself. He was
unprejudicial ans his taste and judgment
were correct. T}1t there is another thing.
Nine out of ten q the homes and yards of
the central part 4 the city are buried in
such dark leafH shadows as no sun can,
penetrate. Dambness, and what is worse,
disease will follow and some day there
may be an epideIaic of diptheria, or somt
other equally viIplent or contagious epl..
demic. The sun lshould reach every part
of the home surroundings every day, tf
say nothing of tie add beauty there ls5

THE SOUTHERN KANSAS FAIR.

At no time in the history of southern
Kansas, has so many eyes been turned
Wichitaward Us at the pres nt time. The
cause, that the greatest fGir ever held in
the state promises to be held here during
the week of September Is tb October 3. A
gentleman WHO attended, the Sumner
county fair at Wellington furing the past
week, stated that on ThurIday the big
day of Their fair, the cd eat majority of
those on the grounds SCENE b to be talking
of the Wichlts fair. 1t wAs the mecca
Of all fair gaers, and none tyere more pro-
nounced in their statements or made them
oftener than officials of the Sumner
County assbciation. Thel fact that the
fair to be hel Id here is a district fair, and
that the premium takers at all county
fairs in the district are wei come, makes it
of more Importance to southern Kansas
than the state fair at Topeka can posi-
bly, be.
The executive committed met yesterday
at the Office bf the secretary in the Citi-
Zen's bank building, and transacted q
great deal of Business of Importance. 1t
was decided that all agricut tural products
taking first premiums shotlld be retained
by the association, labeled With the name
and address of. the exhibitor, the location
of the particular farm uEon which the
product was raised and SEMI to the worlds
fair.
President Campbell Fwh@ hassbeen una
voidably prevented giving bis attention to
the work for some weeks has returned,
and expects to remain until after the close
of the fair. He has girded pm his armor,
and 5here is every reason to.believe that by
his energy and enthusiasm his co-workers
will be, so to speak, refreshed, and the de-
tails of completion rushed as rapidly as
possible.
The secretary reports tie work in his
department as, moving along as smoothly
as possible, and that WHEREVER he goes in
the interest ofithe fair, he lhears nothing
but good cheer. Those who participated
in the 1890 fair, seem to hdve had good
word to speak flor Wichita, hnd at no time
has he been reminded by horsemen or
cattlemen that anything hal d ever occurred
to make Wichita ashamed If her fair. Col.
Stewart, the treasurer, hhs taken full
charge of REPEATING the q rounds, and is
upon the fair grounds every day, superin-
tending the construction of new buildings,
relocating old ones, and making prepare.
tions to furnish ample accd nmodations to
the many thousands who Twill be in az
tendance.
The privileges which, are under
the .supervisitn of Mr. ~ j. Wilson
are now more bhan double what they were
on the Saturday before theffair last year,
and he is afra11 he will hate to begin 10
say mo more Privileges caa be permitted"
for want ofspjce. All togeI her the indica-
tions are that more people Twill visit our
city during faiS week than i ave ever before
been in it at ole time, and that every hotel
and business hsouse should foe prepared to
handle the visitors in the Usual Wichita
style. In a wdrd, prepare in time for the

KANSAS AL RIGHT

Mr.. w H. Wilson, of Arcade, New
York, is here making his semi-annual
visit to this county. He comes to look
after his large landed interests in this
county, and is one of the large taxpayers
of this county Mr.. Wilson is an old time
friend of Senator Bentley, of this city,
coming from the senator's childhood
home. He left yesterday for one of his
farms in Rockford township. Most of the
Wilson land is located in Erie and Viola
townships. Mr. Wilson holds about 4, 900
acres of land laying in body, and all in
this county. For an EAGLE representa-
tive Mr.. Wilson stated that he regarded
Sedgwick county in Kansas, and
and that there is no better county
in the west For q long time Mr..
Wilson owned and controlled about 5000
acres of land in Nebraska. He has sold
this land and closed out his interests in
that state. and has centralized his inter
ests in this county. de has now 5000
acres under the pillow. This fall he will
put out 1900 acres of wheat and next
spring LOCO acres in corn and 500 acres il.
oats. He has raised large amount o.
grain this year and will hold his wheat
diQ tutHkS IL " IA DEluS SA.JV per ousGSiA
He will also crib his corn and hold it fot
some months. Mr.. Wilson viii break out
more land and put it in wheat, as it has
always yielded him good returns.
In speaking of Kansas Mr.. Wilson says
it is all right, that with the preseps good
crops the state has very bright future;
He keeps his faith in Wichita as one OF
the coming great cities of the west. He
says there is now only one thing in the
way of the state PETER, Jerry Simpson
& Co. are now in New York state near
where Mr.. Wilson came from, and are viii
hfying and abusing the state. They are
claiming that Kansas can not pay her
debts. Il am satisfied. y said Mr. Wilson,
that the present wheat crop in Kansas
will pay her mortgage debt. You should
do something here in Kansas to shut off
these calamity howlers." Mr. Wilson sell
dom comes TO this county without adding
TO his already large landed possessions.

THE DIFFERENCE IN THE PRICE.
How Kansas Grain Producers Have Been
Swindled by Missouri River Elevators.

Every day shows the Importance of hay-
ing large storage and cleaning elevator
in this city, where all grain can be properly
cleaned and put in proper condition for
shipment to other markets. For years
Kansas grain has been shipped out OF the
state and been discounted in price on &C
count of the condition it was in.
Farmers lose in price because they can
not clean their wheat properly, and no ar
rangement made on the farm Is near so
perfect as that provided in modern eleva-
tors, A farmer says: II lost $500 on my
wheat the other day because | did not
have it an in elevator, where l could hav G
shipped it quickly and taken advantage of
the quick advance in the market. By the
time l had it hauled in the price had drop
ped. will set aside one hundred bushels
of my crop and give it towards the erection
of an elevator"
If every farmer in Sedgwick county
would do this, or something, it would
not be long before one would be built and
it would be the best investment that could
made.
If the farmers and the business men of
this city will get together and talk over
this question it is believed 1t can quickly
be solved. All are mutually interested in
the success of each other and cannot exist
without the aid of each other, no matter
what politicians may say or the people
think. The farmer is dependent on the
cities to buy his products and without
these cities he would have no market and
if there were no farmers there would be no
cities, so the interests are mutual and
should be so considered. The farmers of
Southern Kansas today need an elevator
more than Office. because an elevator
brings money to all and an effice only to
the individual. The very thiCg which
would put money in their pockets is neg
Iected.
If the farmers had stored their wheat
in elevators along the railway Of the west
at central points instead of on the farm,
when the circular was sent out to Hold
Wheat" they would have been in condi-
ton to have taken advantage of the rapid
increase in the market, but as they did not
the circular was of no value and the
farmers derived no benefit.
Let farmers place themselves in condi-
tion to take advantage of these opportnni-
ties and then they will be in better condi-
ton to central the grain market and reap
all the beneft''there is in it.
When the last advance was made in
wheat, most of the farmers had their
grain in stack, or in bins on their farms
where they could not handle it quickly,
and so were not in a position to take ad-
vantage of the situation.
