Ayers

statement before justice of the peace
Ii. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
"Some years ago, after severe attack OF
brain fever, my hair all came out. 1 used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. I then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy I applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought
growth of hair in few weeks. 1 think /
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as restorative, but liked it
as dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. 1 believe Ayers Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"

ONE OF THE DALTONS.

Charles Baily, member of the Dalton
gang, that robbed the Santa Fe train at
Wharton, recently, was landed in Jail here
Yesterday Baily, alias Chestnut. was
captured Saturday morning at o'clock by
Capt. DeFord, thirteen miles northeast of
Guthrie, at the home of his brother-in-law
whose name is Johnson.
Capt. DeFord went to Guthrie on the
100 train Friday. expecting to return on
the midnight train, but about the time he
reached the marshals Office courier came
in with word that Baily was at his broth
er-in-law's.
Capt DeFord at once gathered up a
posse of three men and started for the
place where the highwayman was said to
be concealed. He and his posse reached
the house about O'Clock yesterday morn
ing and quietly surrounded it. Two of
the men went to the rear while Capt. De-
Ford and Jesse Graham went to the door
The moon was shining full and clear so
that when the door was thrown open the
whole interior of the one room house was
easily discernible. Capt Deford called
out to johnson in a familiar way that he
wanted to see him. Johnson opened the
door and. as he did so. DeFord sprang in
side, followed by Graham. Both had
their revolvers ready for action and they
sprang to bed occupied by two men and
ordered them TO throw up their hands,
which order was complied with. The one
proved TO be the man they were after and
the other was another of the johnson boys.
At the side of each in the bed was found a
45-caiibre Colts revolver and under their
pillows each had well filed cartridge

THE INCESSA>T RAINS.

The rainfall for the past ten days IN this
section has been along the line of the ire
mendous. The records of the signal office IN
this city show that the rainfall for May,
1891. already exceeds by more than an lnch
that for any previous month since the sta
ton was opened, July l, 1883.
Up to7p. NJ last evening the fall for
May aggregated sd inches and at that
hour it was still raining. For the twenty
four hours ending at p. m. BY inches
had fallen. and for the thirty-six hours
ending at the same hour go inches had
fallen.
1t is more local than is generally believed,
although all Western Kansas has been VS.
tied by good showers. The ram
that commenced to fall here Sunday
afternoon and which continued practically
all night and all day yesterday did not
commence to fall in Ell Dorado until De-
tween 10 and II o'clock yesterday Inc
rainfall about the region Of the head OF the
Little Arkansas up to yesterday noon was
not excessive If, however, it should prove
as great as in this section, that stream Will
be out of it's banks in probably less than
twenty-four hours. As for this city, II Is
a very fair Venice, some of the alleys and
streets being more navigable than the
Missouri river because of the absence OF
both snags and sand bars. OF course such
a rainfall will be disastrous to low, hat
listed fields of corn, but, on the whole, too
mucb rain cannot fall on the soil of this

THE VAIL FROM WINFIELD.

In answer to the Winfield Courier of FRI

H'NUTT INSANE.

Word reaches here that McNutt OF
Winner and McNutt notoriety, has lost his
reason entirely, and is now an inmate OF
the penitentiary insane asylum. 1t Will
be remembered that the EAGLE some time
ago. in reviewing the effort to lberate
them. said that McNutt's memory had
begun to fail and predicted that, unless
something happened, he would lose MS
mind altogether the State Board or
Pardons is still considering the application
for pardon. but, in the meanwhile 1t seems,
McNutt has succumbed to the strain and
lost his mind. He is now about 30 years
old; is yellow ana careworn, and although
he led the choir at chapel, had certain
blank look about his eyes. His change TO
the insane department shows that he has
completely broken down. In all probabll-
ity executive clemency in his behalf,
should it come, would now he too late.

The spectacle OF chased cow or chicken,

THAT CRITICISM OF WICHITA.

From the Winfield Courier.
ED. CoURIER-In justice to those posi-
bly, injured by the article in yesterday
Courier entitled 'Wichita's Scheme" L
desire to state that the Winfield boys were
not treated terribly shabby" by the
Wichita managers Of the band contest.
The grand parade which was to have come
off at 1:30 p. N. Thursday was, in conse-
quence of the unremitting rain which
lasted from early morning till about 3 p;
m. POSTPONED till after the rain had
ceased. That parade lasted from the time
the L. R. knights fell into line immedi-
ately after the storm ceased Till about 0:lo
that afternoon, when we were dismissed
and those of us who could boarded the
train and came home. / believe Cations
band came home on that traln-at least
the leader did.
The band contest was set months prevl-
ouslv for 10 a. m. Thursday forenoon OF
this week to take place at the Far grounds
and in the open air. At that time 1t was
raining hard and had to be postponed
The band boys were anxious to leave on
the $40 train, and when l asked them to
stay until the parade was over
they refused unless it terminated
before train time They stated to me that
some Of the boys had to be In Winfield
that night or lose their jobs. To quote
further from the article, 1T will be a cold
day when the Winfield boys give Wichita
another days music in exchange for her
peerless hospitality" For that remark
l only say that the X. of 2. boys hired the
band for $40 aud paid them that amount,
which was all they asked. to accompany
them to the Peerless City" rightly 50
named, to play for them and the Wichita
people, AID X. P. managers of the band
contest were under no obligations to them
whatever. am not attaching any blame
to Cations band for not contesting for a
hand prize, that is their business, but do
emphatically protest against the band

whom happen to know acquitted them

them Very respectfully,

SENATOR BENTLEY.s VIEWS.

Senator Bentley arrived home Sunday.
He is about as serene as to the Botkin case
as the average citizen who cares little
about it farther than it was fight grow
ing out of western troubles in which some
pretty hard elements were mixed up but
costing the state too much. As for Bot
kin, he came out unconvicted but hnan-
cially ruined. Bentley in an interview
says of his own convictions and votes:
II voted to acquit Judge Botkin from
start to finish on every count because
was fully satisfied from the evidence OF
his innocence. Judge Botkin is strong
man, mentally and physically. l have
known him for several years He Is built
