He JUMPED HIS BOND.

The case of the state against William
Smith was called up in the common pleas
court yesterday and Smith did not respond,
having jumped his bond and left his father,
who was his bondsman, in the lurch to the
tune of $500.
Yesterday afternoon the sheriff received
a telegram from the sheriff Of one of the
backwoods counties of Missouri, saying he
had man in custody of a suspicious char
acter, whom he understood was from this
county. The description of the man tailed
to dot with Smith and he is undoubtedly
the same person. The sheriff LETT last
night for Missouri and will either get
Smith or some one else, maybe, that Is
wanted here. The charge against smith
was stealing wheat.

A SMALL FIRE.

About O'Clock last night an alarm OF
fire was turned in and the department. re-
sponded with their characteristic prompt
ness. The fire was in Mr.. Leyy's bank,
but fortunately it was not serious and did
not necessitate the services OF the IRE de-
partment in putting it out. One of the
bookeepers, Mr.. J. B. Herring. was work
ing at his desk and had the gas lighted.
He went to the postoffice for some stamps
and was out only few minutes when he
returned to find blaze in the room, and
In company with policeman they smoth-
cred it out very quickly. The gas fixture
consisted of a set of movable arms and
while he was away the arms fell down and
the fire came in contact with the papers
which were lying on his desk. No dam
age to amount to anything was done.

A CHAIR FOX MRS. CLEVELAND.

A movement is on foot in this city 10
present Mrs. Grover Cleveland with fne
chair. A.number of we'll known Demo-
cratic ladies heve taken hold OF the matter
and are determined that it shall be finer
chair. in their opinion at least. than any
presidents wife ever sat in II IS estimat-
ed that it viii cost over $500 most of which
viii be expended on the workmanship and
ornamentation. The chair viii be made
almost exclusively CT Kansas products and
As much as possible of Sedgwick county
DroSucts. The leather on II viii be
made from the hide OF Kansas
animal and a good deal Of the frame work
viii be made of Kansas bOffalo horns.
Plush made from Kansas silk viii be used
in il ana many relics OF Kansas history
will be used in the ornamentstlon. The
ivory cuff buttons used By Hon.
Jim Lane, which are now in the
possession OF a lady in this city. viii be
inlaid on the top of the back. and it IS said
that the springs will be made from one OF
the pixies that were used by John Brown.
The presentation Of the chair was a secret
tiII Yesterday. strange as it may seem IN
view OF the fact that women are connected
with il, and IL would not become known
then, perhaps, had it not been for the
report thst Mr. Cleveland was il Town.

HE LOOKED LIKE CLEVELAND,

II. J. Lee, of St. Louis, was IN the city
Yesterday and threw the Democracy OF
Wichita into spasms of enthusiasm on
account of his likeness TO Grover Cleve-
land. the renowned apostle OF free trade
and yellow money. Mr. Lee is as much
like the father of Ruth Cleveland as one
egg is ike another, and when he got Oil
the train the report that Grover was III
town spread like wildfire. Wheel horses
thronged to the Carey, in single file and
in pairs and in quartetts, to get
peep at their distinguished
leader and many of them went TO him and
shook hands. One old German edged his
way IN to him and shook both his hands
and assured him Of his support in 1872, aud
in every other year he may choose to be a
candidate for the presidency. Mr.. Lee
being used to being taken for Grover,
carried out the joke and Acknowledged
that he was the ex-presldent. The old
German was enthusiastic aud apparently
for the purpose of ascertaining that he
etood square on the anti-prohibitIon
nlstform he invited him to go
to neighboring joint TO give
him a practical illustration of his DemOc-
racy. Mr.. ADAMS clerk oA 11e HOVoA' say
that at least seventy-five Democrats of
high and low degree called at tue hotel TO
see MIN, and that those who were too
timid to introduce themselves strained
their necks to get a peep at him. 1t was
not only at this point that he was taken
for Cleveland, but in fact at every station
ard eating house from Pueblo to Wichita
! OF course the leading Democrats OF the
CITY found out very soon after seeing him
that he was not Cleveland, but many went
home believing that they had touched
/ flesh with the Moses Of Democracy.

nard. The attendance was very good.
The subject under consideration was
David's prayer for the blotting out of his

Psalm. This was ! very profitable service.
The evening service was well attended
The solo by Mrs. Babb was much appre-
ciated After a prayer and praise service,
beginning mt us, a very able sermon was
preached by DIR. Kennard from John iii,
Is, For god so loved the world that he
gave his only begotton Son, that whose
ever believed in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life" He showed US
how expensive sin was. Il cost God his
son to prepare the way Of salvation for
those who believe. Il cost the son his
home in Heaven and his life upon the
cross. And the sinner who refuses to be
lieve it costs his soul The interest was
good, and no doubt some soul will date its
conversion from that meeting.
Bible reading at p. M, and preaching
in the evening. You are cordially invited
to come and enjoy these services with Us.

ovERCOAT THIEVES.

The overcoat fiend is abroad in the land
again. He won't be abroad long for Officer
Jake Harmon will have him in the cooler
before noon today, if he hasn't got him
there already. Monday night two young
men went into the Carey hotel in a semi
intoxicated condition and wound their
way into the wash room unnOticed. The
boy who is in charge of the coat room was
called away for a few moments, and
taking advantage os his absence, the two
men entered the coat room and very cody
encased themselves in an overcoat each,
and with equal GOODNESS walked away
with them. Yesterday morning the
coats were missed when their owners
called for them, and the manager Of
the hotel not being able to find
them of course offered to pay for them.
The owners refused TO take any money for
them until the manager had an Oppor-
tuuity of finding them. He Immediately
reported The matter TO police headquarters
and Officer Jake Harmon was detailed TO
hunt the matter up. He tackled the case
with his usual enthusiasm and at an early
hour yesterday be had recovered both
coats and was in a fair way TO gather in
the individuals that took them, one of
whom, took too good coat and one that
will cause him TO abide a year or 50 in he
peniIentiary.

There is no longer the least remote pos
sibility of doubt that business IS I'M
proving. The increase of business has
been noted for some time in nearly every
one of its many branches. The increase OF
the business at the Union Stock yards IN
this city is very marked. Yesterday was
the biggest day for over year. About
$500 hogs were on the market and they
found ready sale. BY looking over the
markets elsewhere in this paper. the ousl-
ness transacted can be seen. Commission
men are feeling jubilant over the increase
and prosperity which is now rapidly com
ing upon them. The good quality of the
hogs on sale also speaks well for the pros
perous condition of the farmer.
