DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS MARRIED.

The most interesting case tried yester-
day in the district court was that of Rein
hardt VS.. Reinhardt. W. w. Reinhardt
was the plaintiff and he asked that his
marriage in 1882 TO Della Dolohue at
Pawnee, Neb. be set aside. He alleged as
his cause of action that he was SO drunk
when he was married that he was incap-
able Of giving his consent to such a pro-
ceeding and in fact knew nothing about
being a married man till about a week
after the event took place when a young
gentleman named Riley asked him why he
was not at home with his wife. Il have
no wife, said he, and then the whole mat
ter was explained TO him whereupon he
left Pawnee at once and has never since
laid eyes on his wife. The
testimony shows that Della Donahue fish
ed him OUT of stall in livery stable
where he was sleeping with a mule, and
took him to the probate judges office.
The judge thought he was too drunk 10
accommodate him but Della promised that
after the marriage she would sober him up
whereupop the judge consented to splice
them, II is not every day that young
woman is generous enough to pick man
out OF livery stable stall and marries him,
and 1t would seem that he should appre-
ciate il, but be AYERS that she drugged
him, so as to accomplish her matrimonial
designs. Judge Reed has the matter
under Amusement.

SOME BIG WHEAT TALK.

Mr.. Thomas Cummings, the Frisco sec
ton foreman from Bentley came in yester-
day. He passed the day calling upon his
many friends. He was enthusiastic upon
the crop prospect, especially in his local.
~. Eagle township was visited Sunday by
q soaking rain. The rain was IN the nick
OF time as the corn was needing rain. The
corn is clean, well cultivated and a good
color The average IS larger than for
some years. Many of the farmers around
Bently are now threshing. The wheat
yield surpssses all Of their expectation.
Mr. Norman Calhoun tnreshed on Satur-
day He had thirty-two acres and il
averaged thirty-seyen bushels per acre,
machine measure. Charles TrUsh thresh
ed wheat which went as high fitty-one
bushels per acre. Mr. Cummings says
that the farmers are in excellent spirits.

MUSICAL DoIN1S
The Wichita

The Wichita Musical club, at its last
meeting, passed some resolutions that viii
probably be of interest TO many They
have divided their work into three distinct
branehes-choral, instrumental, and
musical history. 1t is 10 lie hoped that
every lady in our city interested in music
and its advancement make her way into
some one or all of these branches. In the
early fall they expect to occupy club
rooms of their own, where they may hold
their meetings and transact their business.
Tie business in connection with a club
numbering as many as this does is no
small factor, and the ladies have decided
to hold their regular business meeting at
the first meeting OF each month. Ballot
ing for membership viii be restricted 10
this meeting.
The first open meeting Of the club hay
ing been 50 eminently successful, the
music loving people of the city will be
glad to learn that the Musical club is now
preparing for a Rubinstein meeting in the
near future, which promises to be rare

A VERY HOT DAY.

Yesterday, in Wichita, was the hottest
day OF the present year. No two Their
mometors agreed as to the actual intensity
of the heat and it might be said also that
no two men agreed on the same subject.
Pat Rohrbaugh felt it at about e5 in the
shade while Fritz Snitzler thought il must
have. been 120in an ice box The EAGLE Their
mometer had il about 95 at D. M, while
other glasses had ii all the way from that
TO 103. The probability is tina. it reached
81 or SO. Everybody was sweating. and
some were swearing, and all were blowing
themselves in against the lemonade stands.
The latter did land Office business, aud
the ice man had grin on his face extend
ing from ear to ear rs it hot enough for
you" was the salutation Of everybody,
and it might be observed with
propriety here that Frank Good
might have included that expression in
his ordinance as fit subject for a muzzle
during the heated term. Ii does not en-
nance mans humor at all to be called
across the street, under boiling sun, for
the sole purpose of being asked SIS it hot
enough for you" Captain Daisy's teams
were out in force sprinkling the streets in
order to keep them cool but they didn't
have much effect as the water had almost
turned into steam before It struck tie
ground. Last night the street cars did
good business and so did the boats in the
river. Everybody turned out to relish the
evening breeze and it could be found in
no place equal to an open electric car run
ming az the rate of fifteen miles an hour.

TALLow IN The PUMP.

Postmaster Ed JeWett is now DO rrowing
water from the neigbbors. Yesterday the
pump at his house got out of repair and be
concluded that he would fix it himself and
save the usual pauperizing plumbers fees.
He put his eye TO the barrel OF the pump
pipe but couldn't locate the difficulty. a
bright idea then struck him and
that was to send a lighted candle
down the pipe SO that he could see
the damaged part. He took a long string,
tied it around the candle and then applied
a match to the wick. This done. be sent
the candle down, congratulatipg himself
all the while on the originality OF the
idea When the candle was down 8 con-
siderable distance it, OF Course, set fire 10
the string, and the first thing he saw was
thin pillar OF fire coming out of the
pump while the candle remained below.
1t is hardly safe yet TO mention the matter
to him.

DEATH OF A PIONEER j..

William Robert Sullivan, one of eleven
children, was born in Vermont in 1880, and
died at the home of his brother. George G.
Sullivan, near Wichita, Saturday evening,
July 9, 1892.
During his childhood the parents of
William moved to Ontario, Canada where
they resided for several years. In 1869 he
came to this place and settled, becoming
one of the earliest settlers OF Sedgwick
county. He purchased land Immediately
and began the work of improving it.
Prosperity crowned his earnest efforts
with success, and he became the owner Of
large number of acres, having occupied
the same farm for twenty three years
What changes he was permitted TO see in
this county no one but the pioneer of those
early days can tell.
He was married in January 1870, to Miss
Sarah j. Hunt, who died only six weeks
since. The faithful wife shared with him
all the toll and privations of the pioneer
lot
Only one child, a boy of 10 years, William
Albert Sullivan, is left Of the household
which so recently was enjoying the happi-
ness of home. Six brothers and two
TcIlSlu LlOGT0 liz 4O>s. Ac
widowed mother at the age of So years is
again called upon to mourn the loss OF
child. Although living in the nsignbor-
hood, at the home of daughter she was
unable to attend the funeral service on ac-
count OF the infirmities of age.
The last sickness Was only of three weeks
duration. His wife's sudden death was
terrible blow TO him and very soon he was
taken sick and in reality died OF grief
Almost truly could it be said that in death
husband and wife were not divided. Mr..
Sullivan had the good will OF his reighbors
and acquaintance. He was an honest and
upright citizen, kind neighbor, dutiful
son, loving father and faithful hus-
band
The funeral services were attended by
large mum Der of friends and acquaintance.
The sermon was preached by Rev George
r. Smith pastor of the Lincoln street
Presbyterian church, and the body was
laid to rest in the cemetery OF this city.

WAS He MURDERED?
A Mystery surround, the Death Of Ross Cham
berlain.

Mrs. Chamberlain of Maize is expected
home from Nashville, HIS, either today
or tomorrOw with the remains of her sou,
Ross. who was killed al that place last
week. Ii was understood here first that
Ross Chamberlain WAS killed by the cars,
but at Rushyille it is believed that he
was murdered and thrown under the early
morning freight TO hide the crime The
coroner's jury which Investigated the case
expressed the belief that he was murdered
His brother who Is in this city thinks so,
too, as the boy had considerable money
when he left here. while only cent was
found in his pockets when the body was
found. The printers in the Terre Haute
also think he was murdered, as he had
considerable money TO their knowledge
the night before his body was found. In
addition 70 this his remains were found
some distance west of Terre Haute, while
he stated that he intended travelling east.
The matter is being investigated.
