HOME ENTERTAINMENT.

The Children's home entertainment,
last night, at Emporia Avenue Baptist
church was a success, the large and ap-
preciative audience giving liberal dona-
ton in cash and other articles of value.
The front of the room was tastefully
draped with evergreens AMI frightened
with house plauts.
Following the recitation of fifteen or
more prophetical utuerances of Scripture
relating to Christ, DR.. g. W. Hoss read
the Scripture lesson, recouuting the birth
OF Christ.

ENTERTAINED.

Among the many pleasant days spent
and dinner that will long be remembered
by the participants was that given at the
Manhattan hotel yesterday, when the
covers We're land for four. The occasion
was dinner given by Mr.. T. F. Ogston,
local manager of the Crawford Grand in
honor of his friends Mr. J. W. Brinker
hoff, city attorney of Lyons, Kan; Mr.. II.
g. Doddridge of the register of deeds
Office, Lyons and Mr. J. H. Ebbe, cashier
of the Lyons Exchange bank, who came
down to spend the day with him and take
in the Maude Granger performance. Over
the table came stories of how Christmas
was spent in youth and in the states Of
Ohio, New York and Kentucky. When
the EAGLE man was introduced
the first thing that greeted him was many
compliments for the EAGLE upon the
novelty and merit of the Christmas inter
views as published in the EAGLE yester-
day morning. The interview with the old
lady, the correctness of the dialect, was
especially complimented. The interest
taken in the interviews by the visitors
prompted the reporter to ply the same
questions to them. The answers given in
general as to 1.-The happiest Christmas ever
spent" was that is was when the family
circle was complete, all rejoicing in the
pleasure and happiness desired from the
exchange of presents among parents and
children and brothers and sisters, still
each wished to be understood that they
considered among their happiest recollec-
tions of Christmas sthat of 1891, spent in

4 FALSE ALARM.

Late last night report came over the
wire to the EAGLE office that man had
been killed at the Douglas Avenue hotel
The same report went to other parts OF the
city, and il was the current belief that 1t
was a fact. An EAGLE reporter called at
the hotel and instead of anybody being
dead there it was the scene of an extraor-
binary amount Of life and gayety, as
dance was going on there in full blast.
Nodding in one Of the chairs in the hotel
office, however, a man was found whose
head aud face were streaming with blood.
When the attention of August Petzhold,
the proprietor, was called TO him, that
gentleman became awful wrathy, and in
vocabulary that would have put the Ian
guage of Babel to shame, he scolded him
out OF the Office, for it seems he was not
guest OF the house. The wounded man
left in hurry and as he went shivering
around the corner he made some strong
and bitter observations about the lack OF
hospitality of some men. He received his
wounds, it appears, on East Douglas
avenue, near the depot, from man named
Mason, with whom he quarreled over a
scriptural question which had bearing
on the origin of Christmas. When he was
told that he was supposed to be dead he
grew indignant and offered to lick the re-
porter and two or three other men in less
ground than they stood on. He was a
hard looking fellow and would be greater
ornament to the city calaboose than the

DEATH OF ABRAHAM lice.

The sad news reached here yesterday
that Abraham Tice, the postmaster at
Bentley, had died on the 23rd inst.
Mr. Tice was bachelor, and was found
dead in his bed. He had been ailing for
some time past, but his death was unex-
pected. Mr.. Tice was one of the most
ardant Republicans in this county. He
was an old soldier and at the time Of his
demise was drawing a pension of $50 per
month. This with his salary received as
postmaster at Bentley, kept him comfort
ably. The deceased had the respect of his
neighbors, who esteemed him for his IN
swerving Integrity He was one of the old
settlers of Sedswick county and was in
business for some time in Andaie and
near Mount Hope, IN which portion of the
county he WAS well and favorably known.
When the Kansas and Midland railway
was built through Eagle township Mr..
lice interested himself in the town Of
Bentley, where he was appointed post
master and had acquired some property
He WAS devoted TO his friends and Away
claimed that his home was the garden
spot of Kansas. Mr. lice was very en-
terprising and full Of energy for his age,
and lately called a convention OF fourth
class posJmasters in this city. he was
well known and his face was familiar
one to all our county conventions. At the
time Of his death he was about IS years of
age

terviews and I shall never look at them
without thinking of the pleasant
Christmas spent in Wichita. Miss
Fay favored the reporter by
exhibiting to him many beautiful aud
valuable articles received as gifts from the
crowned heads OF Europe.
Miss Fay arrived in the city Thursday
morning and incidental to her Christmas
in the city the reporter learned that she
had purchased a number of small dolls,
and had dressed them, and when out shop
ping that afternoon had given them to the
little urchins she found looking wistfully
at the pretty things in the show windows,
an eye witness at the time did not know
who the lady was, and remarked that she
was certainly repaid hundred fold by the
looks Of gratitude given her by the little
