KNIGHTS OF NIGHT IN AUGUSTA,

A gentleman who came in from Augusta
yesterday stated that that town had been
under the ban of band of burglars for
several days, or rather, nights. Saturday
night no less than six attempts were made
to burglarize as many houses, but the
would be burglars were unsuccessful, be-
ing driven off in each instance. The citi-
Gems of the place are somewhat at a loss to
know who it is that is giving them so
much trouble; whether gang of transient
thieves or by some person or persons resi-
dent there. 1t is the opinion of some that
the ringleader of the foraging party is a
stranger, a rather large, prepossessing
looking fellow, who has been kind o.
hanging around the town for several days
without any apparent business or voca-
ton. But whoever it is doing the devil
ment, if he don't want to be done up" he
had better quit his foolishness; the people
are tired OF it and are on the kee wee.

AN ELEVATOR ACCIDENT

Graham o. Harrow, elevator boy at the
Metropole, met with quite serious acct
dent Sunday afternoon. He was taking
some ladies to the upper part of the house
and when about up to the second floor he
thoughtlessly moved his foot and it was
caught between the elevator and the cell
ing. To the fact OF the ceiling being plas-
tered instead of ceiled with thick boards.
Graham owes his whole leg if not his life;
but as it was the plastering gave way I'M
der the crush and only the foot was in
jured.
The boy was taken to a room and DIR.
McClees Immediately called who dressed
the injured member, finding no bones
broken, but the whole foot was badly
bruised. At latest reports the boy was
resting as nicely as possible under the cir
cumstances, but it will doubtless be sew
eral weeks before he will again be able for

NOTHING BUT FAVORABLE NEWS

The information received at Missouri
Pacific headquarters in this city yesterday
morning was that the rain over and along
their eastern system in Southern Kansas
was about equal to the volume OF that
which fell here. Mr.. Jennings during the
latter part of the week took in all the
country covered by the Missouri Pacific
west from Wichita and Mcpherson TO
Geneva and Great Bend aud south to the
line of the territory, and he found abun-
dance everywhere and in much OF the
country trayersed the wheat and oats and
rye and hay crops equalled those OF this
immediate section. There is no doubt
that there will be an abundance OF small
grain in all the western counties to the
Colorado line.

A HAIL STORM.

The storm Sunday night was the won
der, admiration and terror, one or the
other, for everybody. The heavens were
in such continual and perfect blaze that
the inside of every home was lit up as
if with an arc burner. The thunder was
terrific and the wind was not slow. The
conductor of the Missouri Pacific from the
west says that quite little strip, proba-
bly, mile or two wide. near Sterling was
fearfully cut up by tremendous fall of
hail. He noticed two or three fields in
which the corn was cut completely down
leaving but few inches of the lower ends
of the stalks sticking up like bare stakes

Secretary of Ministerial association
THE GRoUNDwoRK FOX A GREAT CIT

From the New York Tribune
Wichita, Kan. hasn't as big a boom on
now as it had two or three years ago,
though it is still a busting town of 10000
inhabitants. Among its interesting fea-
lures are its institutions of learning,
which haven't much past or present, but a
great future. There is Paramount college,
which the Congregationalists put up at a
cost of 100000. 1t hasn't any students
yet. Wichita university was built by the
Lutherans at a cost of 500, 600 and is in OPP
GRAFTON. The Presbyterians have a fine
site for college, but prudently refrain
from building just yet. Garfield univer-
sity is to be one of the big things of the
west when finished. 1t will cover an acre
and half of land and will accommodate
$500 students. At present it accommo-
dates much smaller number. however.

RIG CHERRIES

Probably no country in the world, Cali
fornia not excepted, ever equalled Kansas
in the prolific abundance of fruits this
season. Fruit bearing vines, bushes and
trees of every character have been and are
burthened and breaking down under I'M
exampled loads of fruit. Frank Yike sent
some limbs of cherry trees yesterday
which would have passed the belief of the
mere say-so of anyone. The fruit hung to
the limbs as close as it could be well stuck
on and the cherries measured from two to
three inches in circumference

Sir Arthur's Greatest Achievement.

Sir Arthur Sullivan has never occupied
prouder position than that which he fill
ed on Monday, May %, as composer aud
conductor of the first serious opera, En-
glish or foreign, that has run hundred
consecutive nights at the same theater.
The circumstances being unprecedented,
it was only fitting that the handsome
interior of the D'Oyly Carte's Royal
English opera in London should be crowd
ed as 1t was in every part, and that Sir
Arthur should be accorded a greeting of
exceptional warmth, while further TO
mark the Importance Of the occasion, a
book containing the story Of "Ivanhoe,"
with illustrations Of the principal charac-
tiers and scenes, was presented to the audi
ence as a souvenir. A fine representation
of the opera was given under the eompos-
er's skillful direction. Sir Artbur's opera,
