He BURIED HIS MONEY.

While Chief Burrows was eating his
supper last night well known business
of the city came rushing to his house and
seemed to be in great trouble. Miss Bur
rows called her father out and when the
chief appeared on the porch the gentleman
threw up his hands, took seat on the
steps to rest, and wiped away food of
sweat from his brow after which he told
the chief his story. He had accumulated
a surplus of $3.50 over and above his bust
ness capital, and instead of depositing it
| in the bank he deposited it in an old tomato
can, deposited the tomato can in sack
and placed the sack in corner of the loft
of his barn and covered it over with hay.
! He contracted with carpenter to put in
new floor on the loft of the barn, and yes
terday, during the mans absence, the car
penter did the work. When the gentleman
went home to supper last night he saw the
new floor and then he thought of his
meney which he had hidden away and
upon examination he could find it no
where. Chief Burrows told him it was
good enough for him and criticised his
action in burying money under hay while
there were four or five good, strong and
safe banks in the city. He asked him to
make another search and see whether he
could find it and upon returning he found
the sack on the ground floor of the barn
with the money in it, the sack having
fallen through as the old boards were being
removed. He was the best tickled man in
town when he found his money and it is
entirely safe to say that he will have it
deposited in one of the banks of the city
before 10 o'clock this morning.
A CHRIS TIAN WORKERS CONVENTION. |
To the Editor of the Eagle.
1t is now definitely arranged that Rev. |
o. B. Simpson of New York will be in
Wichita to have charge of convention of
Christian Workers, lasting, probably, |
three days, beginning Tuesday, Nov. 18th.
Mr.. Simpson is the founder and head of
the christian Alliance" movement, |
which is spreading with wonderful rapid
ty and taking deep root in all parts of the
country. The christian Alliance" is an
inter-denomInational organ
ization, uniting all christians who are in
sympathy with its aims and wish to pro-
mote it's work. 1t proclaims what it calls
The Four-Fold Gospel: Christ our Sa-
vior, Sanctifier, Healer, and coming Lord.
1t is free, however, from the preaching of
hobbies, and the extravagancies and eX
tremes which have sometimes appeared in
connection with it are not sanctioned by
its leaders. Mr.. Simpson is everywhere
as teacher of profound spirit
ual insight and remarkable COM
prehensive knowledge of the Word,
while the process of the work
under his control testifies to his un-
common faith and wide-reaching ability.
In connection with the Christian ALI
ance the International Missionary alliance
has been in existence four years, and has
had a growth almost if not wholly without
parallel in the present generation, and
perhaps the present century. In the past [
three months its friends and supporters
has made provision for the sending out 5
and permanent maintenance OF 100 mis- I
SionarieS.
Many other branches of Christian effort
are included in the large work under Mr..

Georges Episcopal church. New York, has /
become associated with Mr.. Simpson as
Joint pastor of the Independent church of
which the latter has been for some years
pastor.
All lovers of the Scriptures and all per-
IONS interested in the deeper truths of
and in the great question of
he worlds speedy evangelization viii find s
he coming convention veritable feast
md a lasting inspiration. Let all Christ p,
ans unite in praying for Gods blessing :
lpon it.
