LOCAL UNION SOCIAL.

Last Friday evening the Local union
held most enjoyable social at the Oak
Street Presbyterian church. The neat lit
tie church was prettily and tastefully dec
grated with grasses and evergre=ns, and
the warm-hearted hospitality of the Oak
street endeayorers made everyone feel at
ease. After short musical program, con-
versation and light refreshments were the
order of the evening. Most of the socie-
ties were well represented, and everybody
was astonished to find how many pleasant
young people there were in the Local
union. The Oak street society enter
tanned them generously and cheerfully,
and the pleasant evening will long be
remembered.

GRASP THE OPPORTUNITY.

There Is no reason in the world why
those who have ready money should not
now invest it in Wichita real estate
The opportunity to proftably do this
| only comes at stated periods, and this is
certainly one of them, and the present is
the now. One year ago the EAGLE made
the prediction that Kansas farms this
year would be in demand and nobody will
now deny the wisdom of that prediction,
as it can be readily verified by an inquiry
of those who deal in that class OF prop
erty
We now make the prediction that at no
distant day Wichita real estate will again
be sought after for permanent investment,
and now is the time to secure the bargains
before the foreign investor begins to realize
its value and commences to pick it up.
There is large number of people who
held property which was bought at an ad-
vanced figure, aud these should purchase
the low priced realty and SO equalize the
price of their holdings
Merchants and clerks who have n steady
income cannot do better than to secure
some OF the houses and lots that are being
offered at ridiculously low figures by those
unable to hold them. 1t is an opportunity
that cannot exist tor any great length Of
time and should be taken advantage of be-
fore it is too late
Wichita is yet in her infancy. as truly as
is the great country which surrounds her.
and not yet been partially developed. The
tribute which is being paid to this city to-
day is not a circumstance to what il will
be in the future with her ever widening
field. The wholesale trade out of here
will never be less than it is now, and
times greater. And SC with every species
of manufacturing.
The packing industry and the live stock
and grain interests must necessarily, also,
increase many fold as the country is de-
veloped. The manufacturing is bound to
be enlarged by the necessity of the de-
mands of the people and by the growing
and expanding permanency of our trade.
Improvements are certain to be made
throughout our city when demanded, and
these all go to enhance the value OF all
realty. The certainty of the future of this
city can not be questioned 1t never has
been, except by those whose financial con-
dition has made them lose confidence in
all things.
The EAGLES advice is to those who have
money to buy Wichita real estate and to
those who are not in condition to hold it
to sell, or, what is better, get in condition
to hold it.

BASEBALL.
The Oklahoma City Club wins the First Game
from Wichlta. Score-Oklahoma 9.
Wichita 7.

The Wichita club suffered their third de-
feat of the season yesterday afternoon in a
well played game with ths Oklahoma City
club. The Oklahoma club are heavy
batters all of their men weighing from 15C
to 2G0 pounds. They won yesterday S
game by their heavy batting and not by
good fielding. they were outplayed by the
Wichita boys in the field. The Oklahoma
clubs runs were made in the following
manner in the first inning: Morey hit
safe, stole second and scored on Graham 5
hit to center field; Graham stole second.
and went to third on d wild pitch, scoring
on Johnson's hit TO center, and was put
out at second by Borland's hit to ClaIk
who threw TO Perrin putting Borland out,
making double play. Graybill hit safe
but was put out trying to steal second.
In the third inning Graham went to
first on balls and came home on hits by
Johnson, Graybiil and Fraim.
In the fifth inning the Oklahoma's
scored another run by Graham.going to
first on being hit by the pitcher and going
to third on two wild pitches and scoring
on Graybill's hit. In the sixth inning
they made four more runs owing to Mark
the box. After two men were out Mark
we'll gave Quitsaw.and Scott their bases on
balls, both scoring on safe hits by Morey
and Graham. Morey and Graham then
scored on a two Dagger by Johnson. Bor
land ended this inning by going out from
second to first.
Oklahoma's ninth aud last run was made
in the eighth inning Graham reaching
first on tielder's choice and scoring on
two base hit by Johnson
The story of Wichitas run getting is
easily told. For the first five innings no
runs were scored; their first run was made
in the sixth inning by Dixon's getting his
base on balls, stealing second and scoring
on PERKINS, hit to right field. The remain
der of Wichita's runs were scored in the
seventh inning by the Oklahomas going
TO pieces. Vickers reached first on balls
aud was sent to second by Johnson giving
Reynolds his base on balls; both VickerS
and Reynolds were advanced base By
Lauck's sacrifice, Woodcock also was sent
to first on balls filling the bases. Ross
then hit grounder TO Fraim who allowed
it to go to left field Vickers and Reynolds
scoring and Woodcock going to third on
the error and Ross to second. Dixon then
hit fly to Graybill who muffed it Wood
cock scoring and Ross going to third and
scoring on Graham's missing Owens third
strike Owens reached first on the error
and scored on PERKINS, hit TO right field.
The Wichita club lost the game owing
to Markwells wiidness and had Owens
been put in to pitch in the sixth inning in
stead of the seventh the result might have
been different. In today's game the
will present their strongest
battery, Collins and Reynolds, while Quit
saw aud Borland will be the battery for
the Oklahoma club.
The second game will be called at $50
o'clock sharp and it will be one Of the best
games of the season.

A GRAND SUCCESS.

The ladies OF the First Presbyterian
church gave the mos. successful lawn fete
OF the season on last Wednesday evening.
The fact that i WAS given at the beauti-
ful residence of Mr.. and Mrs, Charles Z

be seen beautiful boQuet of fragrant
flowers. The handsomely furnished par
Tors were thrown open for the convenience
of those present and in which was heard

5. Norris, Mrs. J. F. Dunn, Miss. Fannie
Lewis and Mrs. II. c. McClung. Con.
siderlng that there was no admission fee

society deserve special mention for the
success of this social.

TURNED REPUBLICAN,
DR.. C. C. Furley VIII Help, This Year. TO Save
the CredI: of Kansas

A few mornings ago the EAGLE stated
| that a report Was in circulation to the
effect that the Demo-Alliance fusion com
| bination had disguised DR.. c. c. Furley
and driven him into the Repu blican ranks
The EAGLE was very careful to give the
statement merely as a report, not know
| ing the facts at the time and not taxing
| the liberty to indulge in fancy over such a
serious matter. Nex5 day the Democrats
! laughed at the idea OF such an old Demo
cratic warhorse as DR.. Furley going over
| to the Republicans. and their statements
were so positive that Dr.. Furley was as
good Democrat as Grover Cleveland that
the EAGLE reporter almost gave up the
idea of inquiring further into tue matter
Meeting Dr.. Furley last night, however,
the question WAS put 20 him by the re-
porter. and he very positively and unhesi
tatiugly stated that he had identified him
self with the Republican party He made
no parade Of his change and said iC was a
step he could not help taking under the
circumstances. DR.. Furley is one OF Se6g-
wick county's oldest citizens, and he was
one of the Democrats who helped 60 or
ganize the party in the coulty. The Dem
ocrats who now are assured of the change
in the doctors politics regret il very much
and it is beginning to dawn on some OF
them that In the end it would pay better
even of defeat than to have
a chance Of temporary and
at best an Improbable victory at the ex
pense Of old wheel-horses like DR.. Furley,
for it must be admitted, of course, that
the wisdom of the party is in the heads OF
the old party workers. Oue Democrat,
speaking to reporter with reference to
DR.. Furley's change said it was hard
hit for the party. The doctor has spent
hundreds of dollars for the party in this
county. and in fact, in the early days the
party was supported financially almost ex-
elusive by him. The Democrat in question
stated that if every dollar DR.. Furley has
put up in the cause of Democracy was put
together in fund the aggregate would
buy him nice home, to say the very
least The doctor enters into his new
political home and assumes his new pollti-
cal duties modestly. He does not enter as
captain or a colonel, but as plain
private who desires to contribute his hum
bic services to vote for the party in whose
hands the credit and good name of
the beloved state in which he
has lived SO long, will be maintined and
respected. The few fusion Democrats who
heard of the Doctors flop were very much
disappointed and felt the effect it would
have very keenly. The older element OF
the Democracy feel it more keenly than
the younger element for they fought for
Democracy side by side with him in this
county where he was power morally and
financially in the party councils and il
the hustiucs

IMMENSE CROWDS.

An immense crowd of people thronged
the sidewalk in front of the Boston store
from 10 o'clock yesterday morning till IL
o'clock last night, watching the lightning
artist making oil paintings at the rate of
nearly dozen per hour. He was the al
miration of everybody and the pictures
went like the proverbial hot cakes. Hun
dreds Of customers thronged the store,
bought dollars worth of goods and got
their picture before the paint was fairly
dry on it. Messrs. Coin aud Wallenstein
made ten strike in this enterprise end
did gret thing for the people in providing
for them absolutely free nice piece of
decorated art. Enterprise is always ad-
mired and surely it was encouraged yes
terday. The Boston never does things by
halves
