Angio-A merican Colony.

Mr.. George d. Seppings of Runnymede

Wichita last night He is up on business
and will spend today circulating among
his friends here. The colony in which
Mr.. Seppings is so largely interested and
which has such widespread holdings of
land-Harper and Kingman counties-is
all the time receiving fresh accessions of

makes the mare go. Though temporarily
Inconvenience by the Alliance alien land
bill, which precludes the investment of
foreign gold in Kansas soil, those who
have invested so much time and money
in the Runnymede colony have not the
slightest intention of laying on their
oars or staying their endeavors to
connect their thriving little burg with the
cattle and grain center of the state and
they are now working on plan which
promises success and which if carried
through will open up to Wiehita's whole
salers and merchants stretch of rich
country, now only indirectly connected
with this city. Messrs. TURNKEY and Sep
pings, the moving spirits of the colony and
of all that has promise of enhancing its
prospects, have their agents at work in
London and they are kept advised by cable
and mail of all that is doing.
Meanwhile the boys, when not engaged
in the more serious pursuits of life, manage
to put in some time enjoying the sports on
which they were reared. They have pack
of fox hounds which affords them
endless enjoyment a nd risk to life
and limb which adds zest. A day or two
ago they got on the trail of a couple of
gray wolves and followed the beasts cross
country for seven miles taking hedges,
fences brooks, gates and every obstacle
that came in their way, their nags all be-
ing able to jump like well trained hunters
During the run there were large num-
Der of falls, as is always the case over a
rough country, but though many of them
looked bad and dangerous no srrious casu-

THE UNITARIAN FAIR

Last night was another big night at tn e
Unitarian fair. TIE hall was crowded to
its utmost capacity and the receipts were
very satisfactory The audience in the
theatrical department of the fair was
| about as enthusiastic An audience as was
seen here this year and they were justified
in their enthusiasm, for the program was
a very good one. The Phantom Quadrille
was exceedingly laughable and provoked
great merriment. 1t was participated in
by eight ghost-like individuals, dressed in
pure white drapery with flesh colored
marks. not on their faces, but on the back
of their head, so that when the Swinging
of partners" act was done 1t seemed
as if the supposed lady danced with
her back to the gent instead of
having her face towards him. 1t was GER
tainly very comical scene and one that
caused many hearty laugh. The Hum
aniphone was also very good and was
heartily enjoyed by all present. After the
doings in this department of the fair were
over refreshments were served and the
ladies who presided over the tables did
thriving business. The fair is q success
and it is now supposed that the net re-
suits will not fall very far short of $500.
1t could have been much more if the ad-
mission fee to the entertainment hall was
placed higher and nearer what it is really
worth. At the solicitation OF several who
failed to see the entertainment of Tuesday
night, it will be repeated Friday night
IL is hoped that everybody who loves
good entertainment, and who believes in
helping along good cause, will attend
Friday nights entertainment. 1t would
be repeated tonight, but those who are in
terested in the fair thought it proper not
to hold any entertainment on account of

RAN AWAY FROM HOME.

Fred Jacubowiski, a 12-year-old boy
living in tie southeast part of town, left
home for school Tuesday morning and he
has not been seen nor heard from since.
Notwithstanding the fact that his father
spent all day yesterday hunting for him
Fred was the boy who was arrested a week
ago for slashing another boy with knife
and cutting his hand fearfully. Fred was
out under bond to appear for trial in a few
days and it is thought by his parents that
other boys frightened him so much by
telling him that he would be sent the pen
itentiary that he decided TO leave town and
escape tue vengance of the law If this is
not the cause of MS absence, something
more serions must have happened him as
he is a boy who never before attempted to
run away from home. At all events his
parents are very uneasy over his absence.

season, which generally begins about two
weeks before the 25.h and ends two weeks
later, and during which time each carrier
goes loaded
Rabbits and quails are getting so numer-
Gus in the market as to cause quite de-

and powder trying to bag it.
A lurid glare in the extreme southeastern
portion of the city last night betokened
that somebody's haystack was being de-
voured Although there have been quite

winter in the direction of extensive con-
hagrations.
In spite of the inclement weather. prairie

not seem to keep any of the anxious ones
out of the promised land.
A family in the southern part of the city

doors and when brisk fire had been made
the next morning, the cat was found COM
fortably roasted.
