He Struck Carson Also.

\ young fellow who gave the name
OF Frank W. Eastman and claimed
to be New York drummer stopped
over here yesterday. lie was sport
lively inclined and tried his luck at
faro and other gambling games. As
this takes money, and his supply of
available cash seemed rather short,
he gave drafts on a New York firm,
which were cashed by several per-
sons. He secured about $500 in this
manner. Eastman was well dressed
and a smooth talker and those who
cashed his drafts seemed to suspect
nothing wrong. This morning they
discovered tc their sorrow that the
pieces OF paper which they held were
worthless In the meantime East
man had skipped out, leaving on the
early east bound train. Sheriff Fell
lows telegraphed to the officers at
Wells to have him stopped and the
swindler will be brought back and
given cnance to explain his little
bit of financiering. Silver State.

A JAIL DELIVERY.

Sheriff Ault received a telegram yester-
day from Newton stating that there was a
Jail delivery there the previous night, liz
which two men named Hullen and Hays
made their escape These are the men VIII c
caused such excitement in this city a
couple of weeks ago by escaping from off,
Ger Charlie Snyder, who fired four shots
at them.
Immediately after leaving here they
went to Newton and there robbed s
caboose of the Santa Fe road, of some over
coats, etc They were arrested, plead
guilty, and were sentenced to year each
in the state penitentiary Sheriff Ault OF
this county, hearing they were in Jail at
Newton, went up last Sunday. with Under
Sheriff Williams, TO identify them. and,
having done so, he asked that they be
turned over to him, but they were already
sentenced, and the officers of Harvey
county refused their request. When they
saw Sheriff Ault they became alarmed, and
undoubtedly broke Jail to avoid falling
into the hands of the sheriff Of this county,
not knowing that the Harvey county sher-
iff had refused to do so already.
The crime that stands against them in
this. county is stealing pair of horses
from farmer of Viola township and sell
ing them in this city.

ADJUSTMENTS.

There is a charm about uncle Toms
Cabin" that cannot be explained. This
play has been on the stage Tor more than
thirty years, and it would seem that every
person has seen it; but the audience that
was present last night gave eyidance that,
in this city. at least, the play is as popular
as ever Z Long beford the doors were open
last evening the hall leading to the audi
forum was packed with people, and even
the sidewalks in front of the opera house
were filled with persons who were waitiDg
for the opening of the ticket office. Nearly
/ 900 tickets were taken at the door, and
when it was found necessary TO refuse add
mission to any more the hall was still
crowded. 1t is safe TO say that over 1000
persons were anxious to see Uncle Tom s
Cabin once more.
The company which gave the play was
certainly II good one. Maud Sutton made
good Topsy. Linda Tucker as Aunt
Ophelia did well, and Jack Myers as Simon
Lagree looked as fierce and brutal as nee
essary, and the balanca of the company
were far abovet the average.-Quincy Wing,

THE GREATEST WONDER.

The noblest thoughts and highest as
pirations OF the human mind seem to have
come down from the hills rather than up
from the valleys. The cradle of freedom
has been the mountain top where the wild
play of the tempest and the unfettered
light of the sun have inspired the heart of
man with something of their own char
acter. Away from the busy life and
routine of duties; amid the scenes where
nature displays her grandeur and lifts the
mind to loftier flights; the tired brain re-
ceives new visor and responds to the in
spiration of its surroundings.

A MATRIMONIAL BOOM.

Yesterday was gloomy day all over
town, but Notwithstanding this fact it was
the red letter day of the month in the
probate judges Office. Candidates for
matrimony kept dropping i'll ali the day
and 10 sooner had one been served than
another would be taken in charge by the
genial Mr.. Cleveland, who has happy
faculty of relieving modest candidates OF
any embarrassment they may be affected
with The first candidate was John w.
Swartz of St. Marks, who procured the
necessary documents to wed Miss Lizzie
Gieger of the same place. The second was
Thomas +. Fennell of Minneha, who de-
sires to make Edith Reeve, a neighboring
Miss, his partner for life. The third was
VIII s. Randolph of Garden Plaine, who
had selected Miss Emma Iarberry TO
share his joys and sorrows. The fourth
was c. w. Shipley Who arranged matters
satisfactory preliminary to making Alice
Yarberry his wife. Miss Alice and Miss
Emma are sisters they were born the
same day and the same hour and by a
nicely of calculation figured on being
married also on the some day and hour.
The fifth was Charles f. Stein of Derby,

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
I notice through the columns OF the
EAGLE that you are agitating the construc-

1T WAS DEPRESSING.

The gloom Of yesterday was saturated
with dull, gray chill, penetrating as de-
pressing. 1t was an under foot, overhead
and sidewise spell of weather There was
no comfort anywhere, and ones dank
thoughts plodded with the dlscouraging
pace of dray horse. The small boy from
school struck home across lots, subdued
into dripping watery dumbness. a sleety,
leeky sky pressed down and the sloppy
earth oozed upward, the necessary life TO
constitute even a we'll defined discourage
ment being wanting. The soggy observe +
with muggy cheerfulness allowed it was
good for the wheat, really not caring n
cent, for the time, whether another stalk
of wheat ever matured. The smoke could
not rise above the reeking roOfsi nor the
dapper tail of the most courageous dog to
a level with his soaked back. The storm
signals hung limp above the board of
trade rooms and over the court house
tower, as merchants and statesmen
hung lstersly over the counters and show
cases wistfull and Disguised by turns. The
hooting trains rolled in from infltrated
surroundings and the next moment disap-
peared in the misty uncertainty, bearing
away the inanimate living, those who
were away from home longed to be there.
and those who were at home wished them
selves anywhere else. Such days as yes
terday are almost more than kansan can
bear even as an enforced contrast TO the
glory OF the sky and stimulating breezes
which sway and reign the days away the
year round.

woMAN's WORK.

The past eight months have been full of
encouragement for the woman's mission
airy society of the Emporia Avenue Baptist
church, land marked by steady growth and
development of resources. Both home
and foreign missions have been aided and
substantial help given the church imam
cially and socially.
At the annual meeting of the society last
Wednesday afternoon, officers for the en-
suing year were elected as follows: Pres
ident. Mrs. T. a Watkins: vice president,
Mrs. ". ID. Murdoch; secretary, Mrs. n
Ms Southwick; treasurer. Mrs. ". b.
Jones. The retiring president, Mrs W.
II. Phelps, may feel highly complimented
on the results of her faithful work, and
the excellent condition OF the society as 1t
passes to her successor.
"Wednesday evening the Annual Tea was
held at the church and was largely at
tended by members OF the church and con-
gregation. Tea was served in the
lecture room from $50 until 9,
and from the general cheerfulness and sat
isfiied appearance Of the guests, it is safe
to say the ladies successfully traversed the
proVerbial way TO a mans heart" In the
audience room social conversation and
music whiled away the time. Miss Kate
Coffey presided at the organ and fayorIte
selections from "No. 81 were rendered by
chorus of young voices. Old friends
were pleasantly greeted and strangers
made heartily welcome. The receipts OF
the evening netted a handsome amount
for the treasury, and the tea was pro-
nounced a success socially as well as fnan-
cially.
This society begins a new years work
with fattering prospects, which the spirit
of unity and interest in proposed plans,
seem destined to bring to a successful
issue.

A NEW TINE CAKD.

For some time the merchants of this
city, particularly those engaged IN the
wholesale business have been wishing for
better services in freight. Most of the
freight trains running south on the Santa
Fe and the Wichita and Western roads
left here in the afternoon and evening.
A new time card will go into effect on the
Santa Fe in the near future. The passen-
ger trains will run on the same schedule
as heretofore, but the freight trains will
leave in the morning instead of their regu-
lar time now. This will be great aid to
the merchants who by sending out their
goods in the morning, can reach their
customers ON the same day.
