most brilliant and altogether delightful

fully decorated. The guests were received
by Captain and Mrs. Figgat. assisted by
their nieces, Misses Annie and Lila Beck

CALCULATIONS and good wishes. the guests

reason Of certain discrepancies between
her statements TO the police as to the cir
eumstances under which the bodies OF
SIR. aud Mrs. Borden were found. Bridget
Sullivan was involved in several OF the
earlier OF these discrepancies, but the po-
lice decided that she was victim Of bad
memory aud abandoned all suspicion Of
her.
The suspicion against Lizzie Borden was
rendered stronger by statement made 70
the police by Eli Bence, clerk at ID. r.
Smiths drugstore. 10 the effect that Miss
Borden had been in his store two DAYS
before the murders inquiring for
llrussic acid or hydrocyanic acid. She
failed TO secure either. The drug clerk
made partial identification of Miss Bor-
den, but later the accuracy Of bis identih-
cation was denied. Miss Borden denied
chat she had bought or tried 10 buy either
poison. Hydrocyanio acsd leaves no out
wetd trace on the body. and II was the
conjecture OF the physicians for the prose-
nilon that this was the drug that had
Seen used.
Miss Borden was put under police sur
'eillance two days after the murders. but
sas not arrested until last Thursday. la
,ddition 70 the police there was Pinket-
on detective early on the scene. Tue de-
eciiye worked in the interest Of the. Bor-
len family aud ridiculed the police theory.

graph made of it, and afterwards an
illustration of it published in the paper in
order to prove to the people of Kansas and
Oklahoma that one OF the wisest mer
chants in the great city of the plains had
enough confidence in the business of
Wichita to put in retail stock of carpets
that would make a creditable wholesale
stock in many cities of greater vastly pre-
tentions than Wichita. This display has
virtually been the talk of the town for
three days and many were the eulogies
passed on the enterprise Of the great dry
goods man. 'By George, Cash is man
of nerve" one would say. while another
would say "What in thunder does he in
tend doing with all them carpets" A
third would make answer, "Never you
mind: let Cash alone and he will dispose
of them pretty quickly"
Ladies in buggies would halt in front of
the immense pile and ask when
they would be open while some
more curious members Of the fair sex
stitches of the packing cloth covering
them, put her eye to the aperture thus
made and strain her optical nerve in an
effort to see the pattern, etc. Even the
reporter got curious and sought the cheer
full face of Mr.. Henderson in an effort to
ascertain his plans, all the time thinking
that he intended starting wholesale car
pet house. When the EAGLE man found
Cash he was sweating, for hundred diff
ferent ladies were asking question of him
at the same time and it was astonishing to
