A PISCATORIAL PARTY.

Last evening Harry Fehleisen, I. j. IT.
win and c. H. Yazei returned from the
Walnut river where they were fishing for
several days. The boys say they had a
good time and caught about ninety pounds
of catfish and black bass. They left here
last Monday morning in a rig. They re-
port crops good all along the way. Wheat
extra good and many farmers are in the
fields harvesting, The party called at
Augusta, Douglas, Gordon, Rose Hill and
Providence They speak kindly of the
farmers along the way, especially of Mr.
John Balding, of Augusta, with whom
they stopped two nights. Mr. Balding
discovered spring on his farm some time
ago which is supposed to contain several
medicinal qualities. Mr.. B. sent bottle
OF the water to be analysed Either too
much of the water or the sun has changed
the complexion of the boys noses.

ALLEGORY OF THE WAR.

Have you secured your reserved seat for
the entertainment tonight? If you have
not, do not fail to go at once to the opera
house and secure it. No entertainment
was ever given by local talent in Wichita
that gave such universal satisfaction, and
the fact that it is to be repeated tonight
under the auspices of that noble band of
women-the Woman's Relief Corps
should insure the patronage and presence
of every loyal person in our city.
The enlistment scene, the sad parting OF
husband and wife, the scenes just before
and just after the battle, the dying sol
der, the prison scene, the rescue humor-
Gus side of camp life, and a scores of other
"reminiscences are there, real as life.
The Wichita Light infantry will give an
exhibition drill in their beautiful new
dress uniforms, as a new feature of the
evening.
The solos rendered by Mrs. Hovey, Miss
Mcpherson, Miss Bessie Johnson, Casper
Haines, Virgaline Lucy, w, NJ Anderson,
Horace Richards, sgd Toler and Others
brought down the house" before, and it
Is promised everything shall be even bet
ter tonight. Cars will be in waiting for
all parts of the city, and the curtain will
rise at S:15, sharp.
Don't fail to patronize the w. X. O..
entertainment, and help worthy cause.

Fnture of Terra del Fuego.

The notions of Terra del Fuego which
prevailed ten years ago have been COM
pletely upset by recent explorations.
The latest travellers there are Messrs.
Rousson and Willems, who have re-
turned to France from their scientific
mission in Terra del Fuego. These ex-
plorers believe the northern part OF the
island can be turned to good account,
and that the day is not far distant when
large herds and flocks will be raised upon
ranches established all along the river
valleys. A large district north of the
Straits of Magellan, IN Patagonia, which
was wholly unoccupied twelve years ago,
is now full Of little farms devoted 10
raising sheep and cattle.
The owners have prospered so well
that the territory they occupy has be-
come too crowded. 1t is impossible TO
extend this business further north, and
the farmers will therefore be compelled
to turn to Terra del Fuego, which viii
receive the overflow from Patagonia. On
Dawson Island, near the northwest coast
of Terra del Fuego, Jesuit fathers are
now engaged in stock raising, and fol
two years or so fine ranch has beer
established on the northern coast oil
Terra del Fuego, where there are today
about 10000 sheep and 5000 cattle. The
English have been the first 10 establish
themselves IN this territory. Stock
raisers are now reaping a profit of 81
per cent. per annum. The explorers say
the availability of the island for stock
Taising has been amply proven, and
there is now no doubt that a prosperou;
future is before it.-Chicago Times.

THAT HABEAs CORPUS CASE.

In the reference in Thursday morning S
EAGLE, to the case of the little Boughton
child, there were some inaccuracies, the
result of misjnformation to the reporter.
The child is a boy instead of girl, and the
further facts of the case are learned from
Mr. c. F. Biddle, the grandfather of the
child Boughton gave his wife the child
at Aurelia, Ia. after the separation be-
tween he and his wife. The mother and
child resided at Dixon, Hi, until July OF
last year, when she went with the child to
her father. who at that time lived ut
Atchisor, Kan, and subsequently re-
moved with him to this city where they
now reside Boughton has known all the
while of the whereabouts of the child,
there being no effort at any time 10 secrete
it from him Boughton's attempt to gain
possession of the child through the courts
will be contested determinedly by its
mother aided by her father.

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Acting upon the advice of friends, /
hereby acknowledge myself as the unas-
Stunning artist of the two large paintings
seen in the windows of Martins art store.
Since some misunderstanding has arisen,
l will explain that after much persuasion
from friends and with many doubts and
misgivings, was induced to allow them,
with the help of others, to present the
larger picture to the Y. NJ G. a. in behalf
of the business men of our city, and hope
it will be so understood.
The smaller one. My Pets" is to be
donated by myself
For those who praise I have kindly
feeling: to those who criticise [ will say,
with the same feeling, you only spur me
on to greater effort. What l have accom-
plished has been done without instruction
and entirely through my own study and
perseverance. But hope in the near fu-
ture to be able to present to that worthy
body-the Y. NJ c. A. of our city-a pic
ture which will merit less of the criticism,
more of the praise.

THE GLoBE-DEMoCKA MAN,

Mr. Walter 3. Stevens, the Washington
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, whom a great many western
people know by reputation as a factor in
the news world of the national capital,
and who is a familiar parsonage to all the
members of both houses as also to the
heads Of departments. IS spending day or
two in Wichita Everybody, nearly, has
left the capital, and Mr.. Stevens swung
out for the open prairies of Kansas and for
view and study of the Peerless Princess.
He expects, if possible, to discover the
secret that leads everybody, without al
ways assigning a satisfactory reason, to
declare that Wichita is destined to be a
city, and to catch the inspiration of her
own peoples faith. Yesterday afternoon
he fell into the hands of II. L. PIERCE, the
secretary Of the Board of Trade, whose
especial delight it is to be interviewed, the
bigger the newspaper man the better.

Testing a Trunk.

A slim faced man with a graveyard
cough was inspecting some trunks in front
of Grand street store yesterday, when
the proprietor of the store appeared and
asked:
Looking for trunk, siri"
eyes"
"Heres the best four dollar trunk ever
made, and I'm the only one that sells 'em
at less than five dollars"
"No good" replied the pale faced man,
with a sorrowful shake of the head. Zone
of these trunks wouldn't stand the jour
ney from here to Poughkeepsie.
What I'll warrant 'em TO go around
the worlds Take hold Of one and bang it
about and convince yourself"
"Do you give me leave to wrassle with
ones"
"Of course dol Take right hold"
The man with the graveyard cough drew
in full breath, called out: ''Sche-neck-
ta-day," as if warning a carload Of passen-
gers, and then reached for the trunk
"RipW went enc of the handles; rip
went the other. and as he stood it on end
and upset it and Topped it back again one
hinge busted loose and the cover split in
two. With a twist of the wrist he gave il
slam bang which completed the wreck,

THE TABERNACLE MEETING.

The interest in the meeting at the tab
oracle on South Emporia avenue, was
greater last night than on the previous
evening. Rev. L. r. Vernon, the evange-
list. after good rest, was at himself, and
made his part of the meeting quite lively
indeed, and it was not long until the whole
audience, at least the Christian people,
caught the inspiration, and the tabernacle
seemed to be filed with the Holy Ghost,
and sinners were pressing to the altar,
inquiring the way to eternal life.
The gray headed man and the
youthful girl knelt side by side
as penitents, while a number of intelli-
gent promising young men bowed at the
alter. and with the rest near, some re-
joicing in pardoning love.
Mr.. Vernon is native of California,
and formerly lived in San Francisco, but
he is now state evangelist for Kansas, In
the service of that great missionary
church, the Congregatianalists Like the
great missionary at the beginning of the
christian era, he has no abiding place ex-
cept where he finds himself in the
service of his Master. He says he married
his wife to live with her, consequently she
and their two little children accompany
him wherever he goes in his evangelistic
work, and he always arranges to keep
house with his family alone for the time
that he may stop in a place, generally
about two weeks.
On arriving here on Wednesday evening,
Mr.. Vernon and his family were received
into neat home on South Topeka avenue.
in the vicinity of the tabernacle, which
had been rented and nicely fitted and fur
nished, and a good supper awaited them,
and the happy family were at once at
home, surrounded by many warm friends.
Meetings will be held at the tabernacle
each afternoon and evening during the
coming week, and the revival promises to
result in great good.

A farmer driving on North Main and
while crossing the street railway tracks
near the Occidental yesterday afternoon,
narrowly escaped being run over. Just as
his wagon was in the middle of the street
and rested over both tracks two cars came
on, one from the north and one from the
south. The horses were frightened and
commenced to balk. The farmer in this
predicament called madly for help, and
acted very queerly. Both cars were brought
to stand still when within four feet o.
the wagon. When the granger recovered
his senses he drove quietly away.
