Mr.. W. H. Parkinson, vino TO the sur
prise Of everybody, so far as heard from,
was, without his own knowledge or per-
sonal solicitation appointed the Demo
cratic member Of the police commission,
two or three weeks since, but who failed
to qualify, leaving shortly thereafter
for the west, returned yesterday. In call
on the EAGLE he seemed annoyed that the
declaration should have been made that
he would not qualify. He said he desired
the people to know that be had business
out west-in New Mexico, we beIieve-and
that in case the said business did not call
him back, he should most assuredly quail
lily as police commissioner, in
which event ne would endeavor
to discharge the duties of that
Office in conscientious manner, etc, all
of which is stated for the information of
the public, the EAGLE having said moth
ing pro or con with reference to the
rumors of the supposed scaly action Of
the bosses of Mr.. Parkinson's party whom
it was alleged by papers, in and out of this
state, had been sent out OF Wichita to
save the Democratic party of Sedgwick

this city, which they would lose should
Mr.. Parkinson, as member of their party

a CLEVER CAPTURE.
Detective Harry Bishop Succeeds in Arrestirg
The Noted Mtise ingalls,.

Detective Harry Bishop of this city
made a very clever capture yesterday
morning at Newton. He captured no less
a parsonage than the famous craftsman,
Mike Ingalls,, whe has been the terror of
postoffces, railway stations and banks in
Ohio for some time.
Sunday night Mr.. Bishop received dis
patch from Chief of Police Kirby of Day
ton, o., stating that ingalls, was along
the line of the Santa Fe some place and
stating that he might be caught at New
ton if time was taken by the fore-lock
Mr.. Bishop armed himself with one Of
Ingalls, pictures and proceeded to Newton.
After inquiring around for an hour or so
after striking the town he received some
encouraging information and an hour
later he received positive information that
the famous safe-blower was actually in
town three or four hours before
that and that no train had
gone west since he was last
seen. This spurred Mr. Bishop to more
activity in the matter and he looked in
every quarter of the town for him but
without success. He finally thought Ing
alls may want to play the tramp and he
went down to the watering tank where he
had heard some tramps were loafing.
When he arrived there the first man he
met was ingalls, and he took hold of him.
Ingalls, started to run but he no sooner at
tempted to do so than Mr.. Bishop had
him covered with his revolver and the
next thing he did was to put him
in irons. The other tramp objected to
this, but Mr.. Bishop covered the whole
gang and told them he would kill the first
man who would make a move. This had
the desired effect and he took his prisoner
to the city Jail in safety. The first west
bound train that arrived brought a
shrewd detective from Dayton that had
been following ingalls,, and he turned the
prisoner over to him. A large reward has
been offerd for the arrest of Ingalls, and
Harry will get it.
Ingalls, has been for years bad man and
one of the slickest safe blowers in the
central states. He served one term in
Joliet and one term in Columbus and is
good for ten years now at the last named
Institution. The last job he did was the
robbery of bank at Dayton, after which
be skipped out for Mexico, and was on his
way there when Mr. Bishop intercepted
him

fire turned in from West Douglas avenue,
and by the big rolls Of dark and ominous
smoke that CURED skyward behind the
brick bulldog about half way in the
block west of Main street on the south
side of Douglas. People ran the length Of
four blocks to see what they expected to
be great fire. but they were disappointed.

Y. W. C. a.

At O'Clock Sabbath morning the mem
bers of the Young Women's Christian
association held a conservation at the Y.
". c. A. hall

church at p. m. was well attended and
very interesting. The children's meeting

fairly well attended

! the Methodist Episcopal church, it being
the largest in the city and the use of it
/ very kindly offered TO the Y. W. c.. A.
The services began by singing Nos. SCI
and 659 Methodist Hymnal. The Misses
Jones and Wilson offered prayer, after
which was sung No. 246. Mrs Griffin read
q scripture lesson. II Corinthians, 5 - 20.
A quartette Of young ladies rendered

A HAPPY RE-CNIoN.

A very happy family reunion occurred
at the residence of Mr.. David " Dale Of
this city Sunday, and one that will be re-
membered for long time by those who
participated in it. For twenty-five long
years the brothers and sisters Of the Dale
family had not been together at one time.
Last week his brother. A II. Dale of Lee
land. Ills, and his sister, Mrs. Bacon OF
Chicago, arrived in the city to visit him.
He concluded at once to get up q
reunion of ell the sisters and brothers and
acting upon the appropriateness of the
idea he telegraphed to his brother Frank
of Guthrie, o. T., to be here on Sunday
without fail. He came and so did all of
the other brothers aud sisters, and it is
entirely safe 20 say that it was the happiest
family gathering that had assembled in
Wichita for many years.
Mr.. Dale himself was the youngest Of the
crowd, the baby Of the family so to speak,
but he actually acknowledges thatin spirits
he was the oldest. The fatted calf was
killed aud all of them sat around the Sun
day dinner table as of yore and discussed
all the subjects that naturally would come
up on such an occasion. After dinner
they all went to the photographers and
had their pictures taken in a group each
of whom will be presented with one as a
souvenir of the happy event. Those who
sat in the group were Mrs. Metclaf of An
dale, Mrs Bacon of Chicago, Mrs. Beck
with OF Andale, and Mrs. Watson of Mt.
Hope, all Mr.. Dale's sisters, and his
brothers, Frank Dale OF Guthrie, A. H
Dale of Leland, Ills, J. W. Dale of An
dale, and himself. Also Messrs. Beckwith,
Metcaif, and Mesdames J. w. Dale and
D. VI. Dale.
Tomorrow they will meet again at An
dale, where another fatted calf will be
killed and where they viii finish their re-
union Mrs. Metcalf is the Oldest, being
