FIRE AT ANDALE,
About SO, 600 Worth of Property Burned 10
the Ground.

John Bach, one Of the enterprising
young merchants Of Andale was in the
city yesterday transacting some business
and brought with him the details of the
fire at that place Sunday night. About
1920 at night Bill Kopp and w Walker dis
covered the general merchandise store of
L. c. Fouquet on fire. They Immediately
ran toward it and found the front doors
open. The family lived in the second story
and they Immediately burst into the do
nestle quarters to save those sleeping
there but found nobody. as the family had
been visiting in the country snice o'clock
in the afternoon. The little city was then
alarmed and all sbe inhabitants turned
out 10 combat the flames for they threat
ened to redube all the business street to
ashes. The fire had too far advanced on
the Fouquet building to do any
good and they tried to save
the two business buildings Of the Metcslf
Brothers, bat in vain; for the fire not only
took them, but also reduced 10 ashes the
harness shop Of F. w Mueller. The latter
gentleman saved nearly all the contents
Of his store
Other stores were threatened, too, but
fifty feet of vacant ground next to the
harness shop saved them The Bank OF
Andale was also seriously threatened and
the front of il was knocked out prepara-
tory 20 moving il away, and leaving the
brick building Of o. W. Anderson 70 stop
the flames
The total loss is estimated at from 3. 600
70 s, coo over and above the insuraDcs,
which was comparatively Light in every
instance.
The fire started on the south side OF the
business street and was famed by brisk
south wiad- The origin OF the fire il IN
known, but it is not unlikely that IL was
the work Of fire bugs. a meat market was
burned TO the ground about two months
ago, and blacksmith shop previously.
and ali the fires started similarly, and At
about the same hour Of tie night.

OFF FOR TIE SUMMIT.

One Of the most pleasant and delightful,
we might say, regions on this continent in
| midsummer, are the headwaters of the Rio
Grande III the heart of the Rocky noun
tains, some three hundred miles west aud
south of Denver. There are no gardens
there, nor fruits, and no homes other than
cabins, but there are mountains capped
with snow, ice cold streams, dark cold
canons and infinite rest and quiet-a rest
In which there is Il recuperative force, and
quiet whose charm is heightened by the
splash and song of running waters, the
mur1uur of evergreen foliage and the
chirp of birds. And there is splendid
trout fishing there, with opportunities TO
hunt the toothsome grouse and to occa-
slonally bag buck. Charles II. Smyth is
stakeholder in club house out there, on
the margiu of Antelope Park, he and other
parties of this city. We don't know that
the other parties are going just yet, but
Charley, with his gun and bedding and
tackle and camp equippage fishing and
hunting suits, etc, took the train last
evening for Greed, from whence a team
will take him to Red Mountain camp,
where he will spend two or three weeks in
a life in which every man with the spirit
OF man delights

MANY YEARS AGO,

Dr. Shannon OF Cheney showed up on
the streets yesterday. The doctor is an
old timer in this county, and was here
when the face of Sedgwick county rep
scented far different appearance than at

banks OF the Minnesota river. When

from the colored church on North Water
street Sunday afternoon. Coroner Nc
Collister and DR.. st. John viewed the re-
mains and Investigated the cause OF death
and found no necessity for having an in
quest as the deceased was subject to cpl
leptic fits for several years. Mrs Gilbert
claimed to be over 100 years old and was
tue daughter of full-blooded Cherokee
Indian. Her husband said he did not
know her age but that she could not be
very far from 100 and probably was that

OF INTEREST TO DRUGGISTS WIVES

Postmaster Jewett yesterday received
the following postal card from lady sign
ing herself Leona Short of Bedford, Ind
She says: "Wjll you please take this card
and 20 on Main street of your city to all
drug stores until you find one that has
married Miss Winiens Will Winiens
died here at my house and he could not
talk, and we don't know where his par
ents live. He has told me that he had a
sister living in Wichita and that her hus-
band owned drug store on Main street.
Have his death put in the daily EAGLE if
you don't find the sister, and if she is in
town she will be pretty apt to see it,"
The above card was turned over to the
EAGLE, and was in turn turned over to a
reporter who made vigorous but vain
attempt to find the party desired. If any
body knows a lady by that name-perhaps
she does not now live in the city-they
should take steps to inform her of the
contents of the above card.

ting out the plans, and the dimensions Of

The third week of this school has {

The third week of this school has opened
auspiciously. More than the usual mum
Der OF visitors, as well as several new
| pupils, were present. Among the former
were noted Messrs. Burns, Alexander, Car
| son, and Professor j. s. Griffin, dean of
! Garfield Memorial college, besides many
others.
The several classes maintained their
usual interest In penmanship the analy-
sis of the Arabic figures was the subject
of study. Special difficulties in their
formation were pointed out and dwelt
upon at-iength, with means OF overcoming
them. Conflicts in different editions of
the same authors text books were also
noted and choice of editions made.
Geography class studied an outline for
the study OF the New England states. CIV
ing the lessons for each day of the week,
showing reasons for such a division Of the
outline and the natural order of study of
all maps. The instructor led the pupils to
discover some law as to the amount and
kind of knowledge to be presented in the
several grades of the subject; e. G., in
discussion of vegetable productions
in lower grades describe briefly
but clearly something of the appearance
and manner Of growth of vegetable life
familiar TO them from previous observa-
ton or from specimens in the possession Of
the teacher.
The class in grammar had an interesting
discussion of moods, lenses and time. The
instructor led all to see that while tense
may have reference to time it does not
necessarily mean or denote time exactly;
that tense is form of the word which
may exist independently OF the time of the
action to which that word has reference.
History is interested in the slave ques-
ton; the first prohibition of and punish
ment for the importation OF slaves from
Africa, ETC. The act of importation was

proviso, the annexation of Texas, the
Omnibus bill, and other related topics,
were all touched upon and their bearings
upon this question shown.
Natural philosophy had for its lesson to
describe and illustrate the elements of
steam engine, the qualities of steam,
methods of construction in high and low
pressure engines, applications of steam
power, etc. All these points were illus
trated by drawings, and critical points Of
each brought out by skillful questions.
Arithmetic discussed the subject of
ratios and proportions, simple and COM
pound, means OF correcting improper

The DEATH OF WILL LYNCH,
VANCEBURG, XIV, July %. $50:

VANcEBURG, Ky, July %. 1892.
To the Editor OF the Eagle
Like thunderbolt from a clear sky,
came to US the unspeakably sad news of
the death of Will A Lynch. He who but
few short months ago was the life aud
light of our then large number of guests.
Genial, true, warm hearted and brave
Life for him meant earnest endeavor in
whatever field be chose to enter, for that
success which always characterize the
sterling manhood of which he was a grand
exponent. Words are feeble, indeed, to
express the grief we feel in the loss Of one
so truly beloved as he was Far from
home and kindred, a stranger in a strange
land. 10 the prime of his young manhood
he yielded up his earthly life in exchange
for the joys of a blissful euternity. May
the God of love and mercy into whose
keeping his spirit has flown, grant unto
his sorrowing parents and loved ones such
consolation as He alone can bestow. Not
only we, of the Carter house, but all in
the village who knew and loved him for
his many virtues, join hands il deepest
sympathy with the bereaved ones in this
their irrepArable loss
