IN A STOCKING.

Cyrus Melchner, a ragman, purchased q
red calico gown few days ago while max
ing tour of the farm houses in the vicin-
ity OF the city. He bought it for a few
cents and threw the garment with some
other rags into his cart. While handling
his rags yesterday he came upon the calico
dress, and as it is his custom to save all
garments which can still do service, he
placed it upon one side. Some time later
he again took up the dress aud while look
ing it over felt something heavy in one of
the pockets. Upon examination he brought
to light an old wooden stocking, tied in a
knot, which contained a miscellaneous
collection of small coins. There were cent
pieces, dimes. quarters, nickels and 2-cent
pieces aud many others which, when he
showed them to parties who understood
their value, were estimated to be now,
with premiums on them, worth over $40.

A ST. LOUIS MERCHANT HERE.

Mr.. August Sirons of st. Louis is in the
city. He is prominent hardware man
and has large establishment in his city.
He was In consultation yesterday with a
number of prominent citizens of the Peer
less Princess, to consider the advisibility
of removing his large stock to Wichita.
Mr.. Sirons was seen by an EAGLE reporter
last night to whom he stated that he had
long been contemplating such a move but
that he had not been in position to do so
until now. He thought that this was the
most favorable time to make such move.
The times are getting better every day.
money is freer, and with good crops
throughout Kansas and Oklahoma, the
gentleman stated he could not see why a
hardware house could not do exceedingly
well here
Mr.. Sirous will remain in the city for n
number of days yet, in which time he will
make the necessary preparations and az
rangements preparatory to removing his
stock from St. Louis to Wichita. The
gentleman is quite enthusiastic in his
praise of Wichita and says that he is con-
fident that he has struck the best town
west of the Mississippi. He has been here
a number of times before and he has never
changed his opinion regarding Wichita

THE REVIVAL AT THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH

There was an increased attendance at
the First Baptist church in the Y. NJ C..
A. auditorium last evening over that on
the previous evening.
The subject of Dr. Kennard's sermon
was ''The Feast of Belshazzar This was
one of the strongest Of a series of strong
sermons preached by the evangelist since
he came to Wichita. The brilliant and
impious revelry of the proud king and his
servile lords was pictured in strong and
vivid colors by the speaker, after general
description of the great city of Babylon
had been given. The excess of human
pride which was enthroned above all this
splendor and which was manifested at the
festivities in which the king aud his no.
bility were engaged, was outlined and
commented upon.
The judgment of God, as interpreted by
the prophet Daniel, and its sudden and
terrible execution; the quick transition
from revelry and gayety to death
and ruin were set forth Some
of the lesson to be learned by us from the
narrative were enumerated. Human ma.
ture is the same now as then and is as
likely to be led away from the true aim of
life as was Belshazzar. Wrong and wick
edness though as strongly intrenched as
was Belshazzar's palace in the heart of
Babylon, are not beyond the reach of Di-
vine judgment. While men in their
weakness may strive with one another,
man should not strive with God We all,
like Belshazzar, are found wanting when
weighed in the balance of intimate justice,
but by accepting Christ and his righteous
ness the sinner is set right with God.
There will be meeting again tonight at
which DR.. Kennard will address the peo-
pie. All are cordially invited to attend.

PABsT is COMING.
The Agents of the Big Beer Company are Now
in the City.

Messrs. Charles Worst and NJ. Becker,
both of Chicago, are in the city making
arrangements for the Immediate construc.
tion of a large warehouse here for the
Pabst Brewing company of Milwaukee,
Wis. They spent all day yesterday
figuring with contractors for the
construction of the building, and have
that part OF the business nearly completed.
To accommodate the building they have
purchased five lots on North Fifth avenue,
which is very convenient place for such
building with reference to railway facili-
ties. The building will be of brick and
will consist of six departments, viz: Office,
cold storage, sample room, case
goods, bottling room, warehouse for
empties and stables. The building, it is
said. will cost $25, 900 when completed.
The Pabst company have been, for long
while, looking over the southwest for a
location TO accommodate their southwest
ern trade and after diligent investigation
found that Wichita was the best place in
which to locate ON account of the fact that
it is the acknowledged business center of
not only the state of Kansas. but of all
that territory which consists of Kansas,
Oklahoma and the Panhandle of Texas
This move on the part of the Pabst COM
pany will force Val Blatz to come here also.
and it is said that he is already making
his preparations to contest for the trade
of the southwest with both Pabst and
Anheuser by putting up larger building
here than any of them.

REVIVAL AT THE FIRST NJ. E. CHURCH

The special services at the First NJ. K.
church last night attracted largely in
creased audience. The Epworth service
each evening from 7:15 to 7:45 is very help
ful to the interest and success of the pub
lie meetings. Rev. Shawhan gave an in
structive exposition of the scripture doc
trine of a pure heart The solo singing
of Mr.. Shaver and the spirited and spirit
ual singing of the congregation are both
enjoyable and profitable.
The sermon of the evening was based on
Genesis 3 s and was an earnest plea to all
present TO determine where they are
placed by sin. No progress can be made in
a new life until person fully realizes his
situation away from God. AS Adam in
Eden hid away from the presence of
his offended but gracious creator
so today many are avoiding
the church and the. ministers and all the
means of God for their redemption. The
trivial excuses which many make for
neglecting the duty of e cir return to
Christ were compared to the trees of the
garden behind which our parents sought
refuge in their shame Our idea Of the
Importance of an object determines the
energy Will WHICH No eeeh " dCCOhpllSA
it. The Christian who is thoroughly in
love with his Saviour and his work will
show it by jealous, devoted efforts for the
salvation of others. The prodigal son
feeding swine in a famine-stricken coun-
try. away from the comfortable home of
his father, is but the prototype of the
person today who is away from God
and without the enjoyment of
the rich grace of his love. The speaker
closed with an eloquent and pathetic des-
cription of home and compared the sinner
returning to his God as wayfarer return
ing to his home, after long absence. In
response to the invitation a number
evinced desire to accept the gracious
offers of the gospel.
The meetings continue each day at 5
and 7:45 p. M, and increasing interest at
tends them. This evening there will be
special praise service.

worthy and respected member, and his

baud and father.
That we extend to the family Of the de-

THERE Is A LACK OF CAUTION.

There is no question that children are
attending the public schools from homes
where diphtheria exists. There is but little
question that homes where the disease
exists are not quarantined or guarded. not
even from visits of neighbors, and no
question that where deaths occur from
some form of this disease public funerals
are attended. The EAGLE had its say about
these matters before the public schools
were opened, and, if 10 no purpose, we
still teel constrained to again call the at
tentiou of the public and Of the board of
health, to the fact that the disease has not
been stamped out, but that under
the present rule, especially with
the weather growing more inclem-
ent. the disease may spread
and in all probability will grow more ma
lignant if not more fatal. Whatever may
be said to the contrary, by whomsoever. it
must be evident to the average observer
that the matter is becoming serious one.
While the doctors may aver that there are
but comparatively few serious cases, il
nevertheless seems that there is too little
concern and want Of proper precsution,
and that with a reasonable effort the dis
ease might be entirely stayed and the
bright baby joys of many homes be saved
the pains and prostration of a contagion
which is epidemic in many localities
throughout the country, east and west.
