TRIED FOR vAGRANCY:

A novel and interesting case was tried in
Judge Musseller's court yesterday. The
evidence showed the man against whom
the charge was made an inhuman wretch.
and displays his family in an indeed sad
condition. A great deal of interest was
manifested in the case as the fellow was
pretty we'll known to be what he is.
The case is that of the State of Kansas
vs. Theodore OFT, the charge being vag-
rancy, P. A. Rohrbough appeared for the
state, and in the argument in the case
made an eloquent plea for the wretched
poor little hearts of half-starved children
OF OFT. Judge Walker represented the de-
PENDANT
The half starved little ones as they testi-
fled against their inhuman father presen-
ted most pitiful sight to gaze upon.
They were poorly clad but were hand
some and well behaved.
From the aevidence it seems that OFT
failed to properly provide for his family
In two years he has furnished for his
family 200 pounds of flour, 20 cents worth
of tea and two bushels of potatoes. Some
testified that at one time OFT had $50 in
gold. $40 at another in his pocket, while he
refused to buy anything for the family to
eat, when they were subsisting on corn
bread and tea.
His children substantiated the above
facts in testifying. One time he even
brought home meat and some delecacies
which he ordered the girls to prepare for
himself. but forbade them to touch it.
Some neighbors testified that at various
times they had gone to the house of the
defendant and found the children in a
starving condition, and that they had
often supplied them with the necessaries
of life, as they would have been left by the
brute who styled himself their father to
perish for want of food.
He was sentenced to thirty days in the
county Jail and costs of the case By the
leniency of the judge the sentence was
made as light as possible, for fear the
money taken from him would be the cause
of more privations for the children. OFT
was taken to the county Jail last night
and has already commenced to serve out
his santeOpe

Anumber of local conjurers were trying
| to decipher among themselves yesterday
the mysterious force exercised by Mrs.
Abbott, the Human Magnet" as she Is
called. 1t is said that the first time the
natives Of North Carolina saw q wagon
and ''took in" the big wheels behind. they
were greatly surprised because the back
wheels did not overtake the front ones
There is problem equally amusing. II
two snakes commenced at each others tail
and kept on swallowing would both the
snakes disappear? or what would become
of thems These things battle the
mind. Many theories were suggested
as means by which Mrs. Alb
bolt could lift so great an amount
of living matter without apparent effort,
as well as resist. A favorite theory was
that she absorbed the strength and dimin-
ished the weight of those with whom she
came in contact. Mrs Abbott cannot lift
sack of -four, but last night she lifted
Fritz Snitzler clear off the floor by merely
laying her hands on the back of the chair
in which he was seated. Another curious
thing that is not generally known to the
public is that Mrs. Abbott cannot lift any
considerable weight of fish or any other
cold blooded animal. She is inclined her
self to believe in her power of eliminating
others weight and strength, but even this
is disputed by very curious experiment.
She stood on pair of scales in British
Columbia and 200 pound man pushed
down on her shoulders with all his might.
Mrs. Abbot weighs ninety-six pounds.
And did this increase it? Not much. The
harder the man pushed down, the lighter
weight the scales showed, until at his ut
most strength, the scales showed her only
to weigh forty pounds. Every theory pre-
sented can be met with some inexplicable
barrier like this.
Mrs Abbot is bright little woman; has
been married twice, and has two bright
little children. She once had child,
which she says possessed the same power
that she does, but it only lived for few
days. Winter is very painful to her, as is
all cold, and she revels in high tempera-
lures. Her temperature falls instead of
rising when she has fever. She is an
aggregation of human contradictions and

Incersoll on Califnrnia

10 a recent magazine article, Mr.. Ernest
Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of Southern California 10
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
Its equability is constant, and its dryness
that it is too nearly perfect Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rousing storm would give them
grateful sensation But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from superfuity of wetpess and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the in
valid dreading the advance Of disease, the
still. arid atmosphere is as the breath of
life

JUDGE sLUSS INTERVIEWED.

An EAGLE reporter meeting Judge Sluss
last evening after his return from Topeka,
where he had gone to represent the Bar
association in the convention called for the
worlds fair business, asked him what he
thought of the matter. He answered
promptly as follows:
The convention to inaugurate a move
ment to have Kansas properly represented
at the worlds fair was the finest body of
men l ever saw together in Kansas. There
were fewer politicians in it than in any
meeting of the same number called in the
public interest have ever seen. The large
majority were earnest business men and
farmers with no other purpose in view
than the advancement of the inter
ests of the state. The sentiment seems
seems about universal, that Kansas
must not fail to make display at the
worlds fair worthy of her position as one
of the leading agricultural states of the
Union. This can now only be done
through private endeavor. The conven-
ton determined that the display shall be
made, and appointed a committee to
organize every county in the state to aid
in the work. Every county will be af-
forded an opportunity to show what it can
do, and what advantages it offers to home
seekers
No such opportunity has ever before
been given Sedgwick county to
show her unrivalled advantages, and
to attract to her borders the
best elements of the older states

wICHlTA'S PARKS.

The park committee of the city council
were out yesterday looking to and super.
intending the improvements that are be-
ing made on the parks belonging to the
city. Wichita has two very beautiful
parks, and with some improvements will
make excellent retreats to those seeking
a few hours shelter from a searching mid
summer sun.
Hyde park, which is located between
Ellis and Fannie avenues, contains four
acres which are fenced Blue grass has
been sown, which has come up nicely.
Trees have also been planted. The band
stand, Ct which so much has been said. is
about completed and IS located in the
center Of the park. Gravel walks lead to
1t from different parts of the grounds.
This place will prove to be very pleasant
place to congregate on summer evenings
Linwood park is situated further from
the city and is considerably larger. The
park is ut the foot of Harry street, at the
terminus OF the Ida avenue line and is
about forty acres in area The blue grass
on these grounds has fhe
stand Shrubbery and flowers and
various varieties Of trees have
been planted upon the grounds. Three or
four bridges span the Chisolm
creek which gracely meanders
through the park. The banks have
been cut and sown with blue
grass. Taken all around it Is as nice
park as can DE wished for. The place
seems a little remote but "a half hours
