SOME FACTS AND POINTERS.

Mr.. w. J. Wilson, who is one of the en-
thusiastic and rustGng members of the
committee of forty-four for arranging for
the g. A r reunion. yesterday stated to
an EAGLE reporter that the people and es-
pecialIy the business men of Wichita
could hardly realize the magnitude of the
coming reunion. 1t is but short time
until the date and much is to be done
The various committees and members are
pushing the work and rushing things so
as to be prepared to properly entertain the
vast crowds which will gather here.
Mr.. Wilson states that over hundred
letters were received from different parts
Of the state asking for accommodations,
etc. The letters almost invariably read:
There will be from fifty to seventy-hye
members who will attend your great re-
union and there will be at least 200 from
this county. The old veterans want to
have an old time reunion. Can you get US
suitable accommodations? If so please in
form Us Immediately" That is the strain
in which most Of these letters are written.
The w. r. c. have been very industrious
in canvassing the city to inquire as to how
many and who will be able to give quar-
tiers TO the visitors. Everyone who can
should make arrangements to quarter at
least two visitors. The trouble at present
is to get sufficient accommodations for the
vast multitude which will Certainly gather
here. People from every city, town and
hamlet in this state and Oklahoma will
come to Wichita. Next week the mer-
chants Of this city should begin to deco
rate deliberately. Il is expected that every
business house in the city will be decorated.
This is the first state reunion to be held
here and it must be a success. Such at
fractions as William Mckinley. Corporal
Tanner, Jerry Simpson, General Weaver
and many others will guarantee a monster
attendance, especially considering the
very cheap rate which has been secured on
all railroads in this state and in the ter
ritory

NOT IN HARMONY,
A West Side Husband and Bride Play Quits
After Two Months.

There is a neighhorhood on the West
Side where the residents are having lots OF
fun at the expense of a recently married
couple. Two months ago they were wed !;
today the wife is with her father while the
young husband is guarding his castle with
shotguns, revolvers and all the small arms
known to modern warfare. The trouble is
the young husband is jealous of the driver
of milk wagon. From time immemorial
drivers of street cars, omRibIses, hacks
and family coaches have been looked upon
as &c subjects for the suspicion of hus-
bands, but this is the first time on record
that the driver of milk wagon has besn
added to the catalogue OF suspects After
the first few days of married life the
trouble commenced and eliminated on
Sunday morning last when the milk
man came around. When he rang
his bell instead of the bride wife coming
out with her pitcher in her hand she came
out dressed and jumpped into the milk
wagon. The husband in the meantime
came out With his shot gun and swore by
everything good aud bad that if the milk
man dared Co drive away with his wife he
would kill him deader than any mackerel
that ever bit the dust. The milk man did
not listen to him but drove away to the
home of the girls father and delivered her
safely under the parental roof The next
thing the young husband did was to orga-
nize and equip an army among his young
friends and quartered them in his house
to resist any attempts his father-in-law
might make to take away her wedding
presents which consisted of the furniture
and mostly everything in the house. In
addition to q standing army of three
chums be nailed up the windows and
doors and kept continual watch since
that time Tuesday be lost faith in his
little army and suspecting that
his father in law would storm
the fortress that night he moved the
furniture out aud divided it into several
parts, hiding each part in different
place among the empty houses of the
neighborhood. A lady near by, who had
been watching the proceedings, concluded
to have some fun at his expense and. call
ing him, she told him that inasmuch as
the furniture belonged to his father-in law
he had, in trying to hide them, commit
ted a crime that would send him to the
penitentiary. as any court on earth would
construe his strange disposition of the
goods as a theft He Immediately COM
menced hauling the goods bach and when
be had done so he put his little army again
in charge. The father-in-law hasn't come
after the goods yet but when he does there
will be a lively time, as he is expected to
bring with him a club and beat his son-in-
law and his army black and blue. 1t
might be added here that the driver of the
milk wagon has no designs on the heart or
affections of the yonng wife and vice
versa The whole trouble has originated
in the jealous soul of the young husband
who is only about 20 or thereabouts. The
matter, however, has afforded the neigh
bors vast amount of fun.

GOOD Meetings..

The Congregational meetings now going
on at Paramount are attracting large audi
ences and may safely be put down rs q
genuine success. The preaching is very
good and is not only awakening interest
but is setting the people to think abou;
the eternal shores which all must reach
some day in their various spiritual condi
tions according to which they will be
judged and sentenced. 1t Is very crafty
ing TO see the number Of young people who
attend these meetings and the good re-
suits that they produce are very notice
able. They receive not only spiritual
benefit but physical benefit as well, for
the air is fine and fresh ont there and the
pleasant breezes decidedly exhilerating.

UNCLE SAM WONT REFUND.

A short time ago congress passed bill,
which is now law, prohibiting the intro
duction Of malt liquors into the Indian
territory outside of Oklahoma Up till
this law was lpassed the introduction of
whisky and kindred fluids was a crime but
beer was not prescribed. The consequence
was that good msny dealers in beer were
doing business in the territory aud, of
course, had to be provided with license
stamp Now then Robert McCause, the
internal revenue collector of this district
is receiving hundreds of letters every day
from these territorial dealers asking for
the return of the money they paid for
these stamps. The territory in the mean
time has been detached from his district
and another internal revenue appointed
for the territory with headquarters at
Guthrie. He therefore has nothing to
do with it, bat requests the
EAGLE on account of its large
circulation in the territory, to announce
that no money will or can be refunded by
him or by anybody else except congress
passes a special act for that purpose. The
dealers naturally think that since the gov
ernment has issued orders prohibiting
their business that 1t ought to refund the
money paid for the privilege which il
withdraws. Mr.. McCause claims that the
government charges for the license to sell
and that when one drink is sold under it
no money can be refunded. For instance,
a Wichita dealer takes out license end
he ceases doing business in a week, the
government is not going to pay him back
proportionate amount of the price of the
stamp for the balance of the year. The
dealer WILL then, see that it is waste of
time and paper and stamps to write for a
refunding of their money.

they need rain very badly in his immediate
vicinity, and they were going to send fol
the rainmrker who proposed to bring raiI
for $500. and proceeded to raise money for
the purpose and soon had s, 900 subscrib-
ed. They then wrote him and told him
500 was in the bank awaiting him and &c
come on and bring the rain. The man re
piled he would come and bring an inch OF
rain within a radius of five miles but must
have five days to do it in and the sum of
s., 900, and then 500 more for each al
dittional inch Of rainfall They declined

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY,

Yesterday sfternoon at o'clock an ex-
citing runaway occurred on North Main

sending John Linick, Bohemian living
near Bluff City, to his long home. Linick

ORIGIN OF FIRES,

The very destructive fire at the residence
of DR.. Croskey Wednesday night was a
topic of general conversation in the city
yesterday, and many personal expert
ences with fires aud narrow escapes from
fires were related. DIR. r. Matthews re-
lated two of the latter, which go far
toward showing that fires often occur, the
origin of which being unknown, are
charged to incendiarism. Here are the in
cidents related by DR.. Matthew'S to the
EAGLES local news gatherer:
1.-Two recent experiences have taught me
that many fires supposed to be incendary
are purely accidental. 1 recently went
home from my Office about p. m, and
went TO hitch-up my horse. l passed in
and out of the barn several times, when
just as | entered for the last time to put
on the harness l heard a snap as of par
lor match. On looking for it | saw
blaze under the horses hind foot. She
had just at that instant stepped upon and
ignited parlor match, 1t burned about
an inch around, but the hay. being kicked
away by the horses feet, was too thin To
support a fame. Had there been n little
more hay the barn would no doubt have
burned, and no one could ever have ac
counted for it.
1.-The next day in my Office Venetian
blind came down without any one being
near it, run off to one side tar enough to
strike tin match safe that was fastened
to the brick WALL knocked it down and
iguited four matches on the carpet. l mad
not been in my Office from dinner more
than FIVE minutes when this happened and
/ stepped on tine ignited matches and put
them out.
1 am in my office about eight hours out
of twenty-four. and had this happened in
my absence a fire would almost certainly
been the result. Both this curtain and the
match safe have been in the same place for
three years past
