Gold Hiii's Progress.
Ten months ago it was said 10 this
paper that there would probably be a
stamp mill in Gold Hill BY May or June.
The prediction fell short of the mark bv
six months. AS the season advanced the
miners. most of them, quit work on their
leads. Not a lead was worked through
the summer. Some of the miners went
to prospecting and others lett the
mountains because they had to raise a
grub stake. l.. G. Davis. who owned half
oi the Blue Bell, had a big ditch contract
which kept him in the valley, and his
partner. Joe Cassidy, after several
attempts to work in the mine, was told
by his doctor that he must stop trying to
work at the altitude of 10, 600 feet above
sea level. Davis has again contracted
with men who are in the camp to do
development and assessment work on some
OF his claims. To a man up a tree it does
really look rs though more development
work might kave been done. While
some are apparently waiting for others te
do it for them probably a good reason

A CHILD'S OPINION.

1t takes Wichita youth to say some
thing novel A few days ago Miss Maud
Mclaughlin. a teacher in the primary
grade in one of the schools OF the city,
though it would be good idea to ascer-
tain how much The children of her class
knew about politics She accordingly
asked these who knew the name of the
present governor of Kansas to hold up
their hands. No hands went up. She
then concluded to ask them something
easy. and accordingly asked them to name
OF the next governor. Que
tiny little fellow down near
the bottom promptly shot no his hand.
aud Miss Naude thinking she had met a
middle of the road" Alliance boy asked
HIM to answer. God" said be promptly,
aud without saying another word pro-
ceeded 10 march up to the head of the
class. While that boy did not give the
right answer, strictly speaking. yet there
is some credit due Him, for while MIR
Lewelling will be the visible governor yet
God will be the real governor, it is hoped.
although the office seekers are not sending
their petitions in that direction.

DIR. WINTERS MEETINGS.

The main room of tae FIRST Presbyterian
church was filled by the congregation that
assembled last night to hear DR.. Winters
speak of the ''Wonderful Wedding" This
is the third week of the meetings. and the
| interest seems increasing daily. In his
| sermon the pastor said:
'The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a
king which made p marriage for his son."
Throughout the Bible we find the COM
parison of wedding used in relation to
the union of Christ and the church; and
that of marriage feast to represent true
religion. and am glad it is so, for we IN
derstand somewhat of the JOY and bless
edness that it picture bysknowing the Joy
and happiness that are always present at
wedding supper. Judgement, it is said, is
Gods strange work" God would rather
WOO and win soul ana give it salvation
than condemn it, and it is only when man
has forced God to administer punishment
that he takes up the work that is strange
to his nature and judges the sinner.
When 1 think of the joyous
gathering in heaven, I do not won
Ger that its pleasures are likened to those
of a marriage banquet. 1t is the marriage
OF the Prince Royal Of heaven with an
outcast. Christ is the bridegroom, and
took the first step to win His bride when
He came from His throne to die. He seeks
the sinner, woos him, pleads with him,
and hard indeed must be the heart that re-
sists the earnestness of this heavenly
bridegroom. But it must he q marriage
of mutual consent: Jesus uses no compul-
sion but the constraint OF His love. 1t is
A public wedding, for we that are the
bride must confess our Lord and Master,
and He has said that He will confess u.s.
The King has made His marriage supper
ready for His Son, and His messengers
have come and are inviting you to be the
bride. Will you accept this heavenly
bridegroom, and sit at the head of that
great table, or reject him for the weak
love of the world!
When Mr.. Winters closed, Mr.. Shaver
sang Come to the Supper" and
was listened to with eager at
tention. Tonight the music will
be selected with special attention to
the subject of the sermon. which is 1.-THE
Guest Without Wedding Robe" The
song service will begin at 7:30, and ia ad-

MIR. KELLY ACCIDENT.

An accident occurred on South Main
street yesterday forenoon that was serious
in its results but fortunately not as serious
as it might have been. Mr.. John F. KEEL
ly the well known citizen and dealer in
agricultural implements was riding down
South Main street in a cart when his horse
became frightened and started to run
away. Mr.. Kelly fearing that he could
not control the animal tried to save HIM
self by jumping out Of the vehicle and in
doing SO he was thrown on the hard pave
ment with great force, breaking his leg
above the ankle and his hand above the
wrist, besides sustaining painful injuries
about the head. The accident happened in
front Of the Potts Drug company's place of
business. DR.. Whitlock was hastily sum-
moned and he rendered immediate profess
sional attention to the wounded man.
While Mr.. Kelly is still in serious con-
dition, his robust constitution aud
constant medical attention are relied
upon to bring him out all right. Mr..
Kelly has hosts of friends among the
business element, all of whom sincerely
regret the accident that has Frustrated

THE CHAMPION.

Zone of the boys" in the National Tri-
bune has the following to say of Dr.. Parr
Of this city:
Captain McKay's splendid record Of
seven ut one haul is bested six by that of
then Lieutenant Morton Pratt, Sd Illinois
cavalry (now prominent physician at
Wichita, Kan.) at Vickburgh, who one
rainy day while our lines were being
drawn about that doomed stronghold. as
he WAS returning alone from foraging.
rode into a Confederate outpost within
pistol shot distance and in plain view of
large enemies camp, mistaking the out
post for one of ours Wearing his poncho
the mistake was mutual OF course the
Yank first took in the situation (when did
one ever fail to y and managed to get be-
tween the enemy and their stacked arms.
When talking to them he was
making ready a masked battery of two
massive horsepistols, which frightful
arms, be it remembered by all cavalry
men, did their greatest execution in the
rear. When, at ready he demanded their
surrender and patrol, to which demands,
in view of the exigencies of the occasion,
they yielded reluctantly. Like the out
posts squads they too wanted to stay at
home.
The lieutenant marched them to the rear
across rebel cavalry patroled road to the
nearest Federal outpost, when they re-
ceived thirteen individual paroles, which
they doubtless violated few days later, AS
PembertonT men saw good to do.

A DESPERATE PAIR.

Whit Herferd and companion who is
known around town and to the police as
Cranky Jo." are in the tolls and il all
that is said of them is true, there is where
they belong, for the police put both OF
them down as bold bad men. This time
they are accused of boldly robbing a boy
named Hill of S. in joint on West Doug
las avenue 1t seems. from the story told
by the police. that they ineigled young
Hill into the joint in question and insist
ed that be should play game Of cards
with them. He refused, saying he never
played card in his life. but they dealt
him out hand and of course. gave him
an inducement to bet. One
of them dropped his hand, looked into the
boys, poked him on the ribs and coaxed
him to bet on it. He had five dollar bill
in his hand, said it was ell he had and
wouldn't bet it. He was still urged to do
so as be had the best hand but he fatty
refused. Seeing that they could not get
the money by this means one OF them
snatched it ont of his hands and coolly
put it in his pocket, saying that if he
opened his mouth about it, it would be
worse for him. The boy said no more, but
hunted up policeman and laid his com
plant before him. Last night Officer
Glover succeeded in capturing Hereford,
while Officers Reynolds and Harmon
nipped Cranky 10 some time before. II
the charge against them is sustained, and
the police say it will be. there is proba-
bility that they will be given from five to
ten years in the penitentiary.

THE CITY SUED.

Yesterday a suit was filed in the district
court entitled. "W. B. Gibbony vs. the
City of Wichita" in which the plaintiff,
brings action for s.. 100, for injuries re
ceived by reason of the negligence OF the
city in not properly protecting citizens

Market and Morris streets

to his home in the south part of town,
when he fell into this excavation and broke
his leg and received injuries about the
head. He alleges that IL the city had
taken the proper precautions 10 warn
pedestrians OF this danger the accident
would not hare occurred. He also sIleges
that his injuries are such AS TO inca paci-

that his physician states fhxt they may

A HORSE on THE COLONEL

Parties passing along Douglas avenue
last night could net fail to notice heavy
OF young men observing Lady Luna
through what seemed to be magnifying
glasses. The pale faced queen of the night
was surrounded by three different rings or
halo's and it was natural enough that peo-
pie should be observing her. Colonel Pat
Rohrbaugh of Governor Humphreys staff
was taking his evening walk when he ran
afoul of the moon gazers aud being OF an
astronomical turn of mind he requested
peep through the glasses. not for the pur-
pose of staring at Lady Luno. for the colo
mel is gentleman and never stares at
ladies, but for the purpose OF trying to
locate that celestial rover. the comet,
about which tho people have been
talking SO much for several daya
Now then that alleged pair OF mag
nifying glasses were not what they
seemed to be. but on the contrary were
two pop bottles covered with leather and
filed with water. The patent corks were
so adjusted that the schemers who had the
bottles could put them to their eyes with
out anything happening, but when a
victim would come along they would press
the corks down gently and hand the con-
trivance over to him. Colonei Pat took
the glasses, picked out the portion of the
heavens where the comet is re-
ported to be exercising itself, stead
led himself By fixing his feet
wide apart and with anticipated raptures
of delight threw back his head aud
brought the mouth of the bottles to his
eyes. A catyclsm of water rolled down
his cheeks, dropped over his chin onto an
expansive shirt bosom like miniature
niagara and pursued its way down into his
boots. Pat is Sunday school teacher and
be it said 10 his credit. that he maintained
the reputation of his profession as we'll as
any other man on earth could, under such
a pressure. The comet can travel where
it pleases from now on without having any
more interest for the genial colonel.

NUMEROUS THIEVES IN TOWN.

The police say that there are more GRIM
inals In the city now than at any time
during the past four years aud it will be
we'll for the citizens to govern themselves
accordingly. Il seems that the impress
sion has gone out in some manner that
the recent election changed all the police
on the force and this was an incentive for
thieves to come here in hopes that they
would he able to operate successfully with
an inexperienced force to look after them
Then again most OF them were known to
the members OF the old force. and if tbes.
were retired they hoped they could live

AN ENTIRELY NEW DEAL

An entirely new deal is said to have been
made in the checkerboard OF Demo popu-
list policies within the last few days Last
Saturday bet of ten to one that tx
Sheriff Conc would get the penitentiary
portfolio would appear to be a good one,
but now erything seems to have been
changed, Instead of being appointed
warden Of the penitentiary he is TO be
made chief Of police of this city. Why
Well there are several reasons Rule has
a good deal of business interests here
which require a great deal more of his at.
tention than he could give them if he
lived at Lansing. which he neces-
sarily would have to do il
appointed warden. Besides. it is
said that he aspires to be sheriff Of Sedg-
wick county again, and he thinks that by
being chief Of police he would have the
machine" to handle a1d consequently
would be a very available man Tor the
Populists to run for the office of sheriff
next fall. Then again, 1t is said, that
Governor Lewelling wants a man of ex-
perience to be at the head of the police
force. and Rnfe being sheriff recently
would fill the bill exactly. Of course, i,
is understood that if an inexperienced
man WAS made chief of q raw force of po-
licemen the business men would kick. and
it seems to be Mr.. Lewellings desire not 10
do anything that would autagonize the
business interests OF Wichi,a. Tha, be will
have the backing of the state administration
IN his candidacy for sheriff there seems to
be no doubt. Why nots By this arrange
ment Mr.. Lewelling will have one more
big Office to give to man outside of his
home own. and it is very natural that he
would encourage Mr.. Cone in the present
arrangement So the outlook is that Mr.
Gone will be the next chief of police, which
will insure the Offices Of railroad commits

SOMEBODY'S CRIME.
Dead Baby Found IN Cigar Box in the
Cemetery.

Last night reporter for the EAGLE was
called into Dunbar's undertaking estab-
lisbment, and after being lead by aim
light through the coffin store room. the
rear room of the establishment was ar
rived at. whereupon the guide laid down
the lamp, opened up cigar box "A inches
long and 6 inches wide, turned over COW
ering of cotton batting aud exposed the
body OF a little light-haired infant girl to
view. The covering was again laid over
the body, the box covered and all returned
again to the front room where the usual
remarks were made and questions asked.
Nobody knew anything but shook
their heads except one who told the
reporter that the body was brought to the
undertaking establishment by Henry
Smith, one of the gentlemen connected
with the Highland cemetery. Mr.. Smith
was in bed Monday evening suffering
from an attack of sickness when his chill
dren told him that some man had entered
the cemetery with bundle whose strange
actions led them to believe that everything
was not altogether right. He questioned
them more closely and arrived at the con-
clusion that the man had buried some
thing in the cemetery that deserved inves-
tigation. Yesterday morning bright and
early Mr.. Smith began investigating and
after long search he noticed that the
mound of recently made grave had been
disturbed. He removed a few inches Of
the earth and arrived at the box men,
toned, which served rs a coffin. He i'm
mediately notified the coroner, and the
body was brought to Duubar's. An in
quest will be held today, and nothing will
be left undone to ferret out the parties
concerned in the burial of the infant in
this manner.
1t is limited at that the investigation will
result in sensation. The coroner is de-
termined that the facts shall be brought
to light, no matter whom they hurt. Such
methods are not consonant with the pres
ent civilization of Wichita and somebody
will be made to sweat for it.
