Mr.. and Mrs. Geo Goodell left
Monday for their home in West
Gardner, Mass. after a pleasant Wis
| it of four weeks with their friends in
this place. Mr.. Goodell carried with
him a handsome souvenir in the shape
Of a beautiful o G roll top secretary
and bookcase, the joint workmanship
of Mr.. Goodell and his brother-in-
law, N. b. johnson. 1t was prob
ably the handsomest piece of furni-
ture of the kind ever seen in this Sec
ton. The ground work wood was
cherry, and this was inlaid with near
ly all our native woods, including
pine saved from log that was placed
in the old Chubbuck mill III years
ago. In addition to these black wal
nut, English walnut, mahogany, rose
wood and California cedar from the
famous mammouth tree was used.
The draw-leaf contained 3l7 pieces
of wood handsomely inlaid, some of
them representing the working tools
of a master Mason. Mr.. Goodell
and his pleasant wife will constantly
have before them a pleasing re-
minder of their visit to So. London
derry in the summer of 1891.

SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
TO SPAN THE PAINT AT THE EAST END OF
SUPERIOR AVENUE.

One Of the most sensible things the
township board ever did was TO pass a
resolution submitting the question OF
raising by tax the sum OF two thousand
dollars for the purpose Of erecting a sub
stantial bridge across the Paint river at
the east end OF Superior avenue. The
question will be voted on at the town
ship meeting which occurs Monday, April
q. next, and there Is no possibility OF de-
feat. The bridge is a dire necessity and
must come sooner or later and the board
look at IL In the proper light, that OF
making n good one while they are at IL.
The old bridge is a rickety affair, has
been condemned and is more than liable
TO 20 out with the spring freshet. IL Is
quite probable that "a Buchanan bridge
will be placed. The accompanying cut
viii give some idea OF it's appearance.

FIXING FOR THE FAIR.

j. A. Shearer, writes from Little Rock,
Ark, giving something of his experience
while sojourning there and at other places
in the state. He sends word to John
Fisher, Ben Downing and Hank Heiser-
man to lease the race course of the Fair
association and make preparations for a
great time at the races this fall. He ex-
presses himself fully confident of success:
says he can buy Arkansas and Texas sows
at from 81 to 50 head-trotters, PAGERS
and runners-that can beat anything in
the state OF Kansas In proof he quotes
the positive statement of all engineer on
the Iron Mountain road to the effect that
he had raced with his engine, these old
sows that have bushy tails at least sixteen
inches long, and shouts the same length.

LEWIS LOCKER KILLED.

This mornings dispatches contain the
brief announcement that man named w.
Lewis Locker was killed by the cars near
St. Joseph, No, yesterday. A card found
in his pocket indicates Enthusiastically that
he is the same man who, up to a recent
date, was interested in a feed and provis-
ion store on West Douglas avenue in this
city. He became somewhat ratified over a
love affair, it was thought, sold out his
business here and returned to his farm in
Reno county. Shortly afterwards he was
adjudged insane by the probate court of
that county and sent to the asylum. How
or when he escaped from the asylum is not
known, neither is it known where he in
tended to go or how he came to be killed.
Mr.. Locker was German, was well-to-
do and bachelor about 40 years old.

THE SOUL WINNERS,

The tabernacle meetings, which have
been in progress now nearly two weeks on
South Emporia avenue under the auspices
of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Con-
gregational churches in that part of the
city, and conducted by Revs. Nusbaum,
Hamilton and Marsh, the respective pas
tors of those churches. have reached a
high degree of interest, and promises to
result in one of the greatest religious re-
viyals ever held in Wichita.
According to previous arrangements
and expectations, the evangelist, Rev. R.
l.. Vernon. arrived yesterday with his
family and took charge of the meeting in
the evening, preaching his Introductory
sermon, ''The blood of Jesus cleanseth
from all SIM"
Mr.. Vernon came here from Smiths
Center, where he had been conducting a
great revival, resulting in many wonder
full conversions, including that of ex-Sena-
tor Pickerel and other lawyers and ex-
Sheriff Carson. He was so worn and
fatigued from long and incessant labor
that he did not attempt lengthy and
elaborate discourse last night, but simply
gave his hearers some wholesome thoughts
W dDONCy dA0 OuGIiuCo liuO VA
work for the future. He will remain here
probably ten days or two weeks.
Mr. Vernon's methods are peculiarly his
own, and must be developed in order to be
fully appreciated, but the pointers he gave
last night indicated great tact and success
in winning souls, and put the people in
great expectation of what is TO follow.
His first service showed him to be strong
thinker, aud while he is not in the least
sensational or sentimental, his manner of
presenting his subject is so original, novel,
earnest and sympathetic as to hold the
eager attention of his audience from be-
ginning to end.
It is unfortunate that a much larger
tent was not secured. as the one in Use,
though quite large, does not accommodate
near all the people who turn out to these
meetings. With the arrival OF
the evangelist and the return of pleasant
weather, the attendance will be much
greater.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR LOCAL UNION

A good attendance of the members of the
different Endeavor societies of the city

song and the invocation by Rev. L. [. Van
Cleave, ten minutes devotional services
were conducted by Mrs. Winters. After
the singing of another hymn, Charles r.
Hamilton, of the Lincoln street Presbyte-
rian society, read very interesting paper

Rev. ". T. Doole opened the discussion
and made some very practical and instruc-

general discussion.

The discussion following was opened by
Rev. L. t. Van Cleave was very ami

rendered vocal trio, after which the Chris

FELL FROM THE CITY BUILDING.

The first serious accident during the
construction of the city building befell
Ben Hermes yesterday forenoon at about
1880 O'Clock. He and fellow bricklayer,
Charles King, were on the third story,
where they were engaged in completing an
arch over the second story. The frame
work on which they were standing sud
denly gave way beneath their weight.
King caught hold on some framework but
Hermes fell, landing on some joists, dis
lance of fourteen feet. King, who man.
aged to get safely down from his perilous
position, called for help. a large
crowd had quickly gathered. 1t
was found that Hermes had sustained
some severe injuries. Some think that he
received some internal injuries, but it will
probably not turn out to be so bad as that.
He was taken home in a conveyance,
where proper medical aid was extended to
him and at last accounts last night, was
resting easy. 1t was narrow escape, as
a fall the entire distance down from the
third story would very probably have
killed him

Ancient American Cloths.

purpose Of putting under cultivation
something like 900 additional acres, says
that if the balance of the county viii hold

Methods of Sea Doctors.

It is related that lieutenant in COM
mand of one of her majesty's gunboats
deemed the responsibility of the charge
of a medicine chest too much for him.
Immediately she was off soundings the
gallant officer mustered all hands and
divided the contents of the chest equally,
so that each had "his whack and ma
mair." There are two other naval yarns
in this connection well worth mention
ing.
A man-of-war doctor whose name is
unfortunately lost to posterity had a
simple method of locating a mans all
ment and alternating it (save the mark)
by drastic and infallible remedies. He
would tie piece of tape around the
waist of the complaining mariner, and
command him to declare whether his
pain existed above or below the tape. II
