USE YOUR owN CoNvEYANCEs..

So far as possible the residents of the
city ought to arrange to go to the fair
grounds in their own couveyances. Every
body and his wife and children and hired
help are going, some for one or two days
and many for three or four days. That's
settled if talk amounts to anything. It's
not often that one can see so much inno-
cent and inexpensive fun in every day old
clothes. The street car people can take
care of twenty or thirty or even of forty
thousand outside people, but 10000 addi-
tional city people might prove too many,
so if possible, make arrangements to use
your own conveyances.

BEEBE BARBOUR OPERA co.

One of the cleverest pieces of comedy
work seen here for someI time, is that
of Edwin Barbour in "a Legal Docu-
ment," which is running this week at the
Criterion. He makes no use of horse play
to arouse the merriment of his auditors,
but every effect is achieved by legitimate
means The play is far above the average
and allows sufficienC scope for the display
of the talent in the company, and advan-
tage is taken of every opportunity.

LOCK YOUR HOUSES.

Information that is reliable, reaches US
that band Of sneak thieves and desperate
robbers are following in the wake of Wal
lace's circus. They are roughs of the worst
possible type, who do not hesitate to knock
down a policeman. In fact, they have
cleaned out whole police forces in rescuing
some of their gang. Homes by the dozen
were robbed in Wellington, so keep your
back doors locked whether at home or not.
We expect that the Wichita police viii
prove equal to the occasion, but if the
marshal should want a few extra men for
that day he should have them.

TRE FAIR AND THE cHILDREN,s HOME

To the Editor OF the Eagle
The Wichita Children's home is a chari-
table institution established for the pur-
pose of providing food, shelter, and when
possible, permanent homes for destitute
and homeless little ones 1t is principally
supported by the generosity of the public,
and just now we are forced to make an
especial appeal to our friends. The house
now occupied has been for some time too
small and inconvenient to accommodate
the Numbers of waits who are constantly
brought to us for shelter. and we have
worked very hard to secure larger and
better quarters Through the very gener-
Gus responses TO our appeals we have been
able to buy some fine large lots on College
HILL and also large frame house which
has been moved onto the grounds But
this has exhausted our fluids, while the
basement is still to be built and many re-
pairs and alterations made before the
house is habitable; aud we are hoping that
the hearts of some who have never yet
known the JOY of helping TO care for these
little ones may be opened to aid us now, so
that the children may he snugly settled
in the new home before cold
weather As this institution is for the
benefit of the children, not only of Wich-
ita. but of the entire county, we thought
that many people in the country might
esteem it privilege TO be allowed to share
in this noble work of rescuing the helpless
little ones from lives of poverty. ignorance
aud sin, and providing hem with christian
homes, the means of education. aud a
chance for homes, useful lives. For this
purpose there Will be a tent on the fair
grounds during the coming fair, where
committee of ladies will be in attendance
each day to receive donations. Gifts of
fruits. vegetables. provisions, clothing or
money VIII be most gratefully received.
And whosoever shall give to drink unto
one of these little ones a cup of cold water
only. in the name of disciple, verify | say
unto you, be shall in no wise lose his re-

GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
The Adopted Sons suit for the Hop

NEW YORK, September 5.-Great possibili-
ties for some persons and endless litigation,
In which no doubt the lawyers will rejoice,
are opened In the contest begun by Timothy
Hopkins, the adopted son Of Mrs. Hopkins
Searles, to break the will Of his foster-moth-
er. Mrs. Hopkins-Searles died July 25 of
this year, and at the time Timothy Hopkins,
who was son of Patrick Nolan Of Halo

of the disposition which his foster-mother

Wilson. of San Francisco. who was instruct
ed to begin an action with the view Of hav-
ing the will declared invalid.

arrangements completed when their Client
