YELLOW CREEK BRIDGE.
by the Tail and Issues Permits to
His Neighbors to See the Show.

The Yellow Creek bridge was a
question Of deep interest before the
County Court for nearly year. The
people of the Eighteenth district put
in plea that they could not cross
that streacherous stream for some
time after heavy rain. Bridges had
been built in other parts Of the coun-
ty, and no place needed one more
than the Yellow Creek crossing. The
court appropriated 81 900, on condi-
tion that the remainder was raised
by private subscription, some $4O0 or
$500. This was done, and the con-
tract let and bridge built. But some
other trouble came up and the court
had to appropriate 5000 more to COM
plete the bridge, which was finished
about one year ago. The bridge, how
ever, was located without any regard
to the appr each, it being taken for
granted that there would be no
trouble about the right OF way, some
quarter of mile from the main road
to the bridge. This, however, was a
mistake. Mr.. higgins, the owner of
the land through which the easy APP
proach runs, objected. A committee
was appointed to lay out the road and
assess damages. This was done and the
damages fixed at $50, which Mr.. Rig
gins declined to accept, but proposes
giving tho right-of-way around the
bluff, so as not to iniure his farm.
This proposition the committee and
the court have refused to accept.
Some say it would cost more to make
a road over this route than it would
cost to build the bridge, as they
would have to cut some distance
through solid stone to make grade
to the top of the hill and main road.
Thus the matter has stood for year,
with the bridge not yet opened to the
public. During the big water last
winter and spring Mr.. higgins gave
his neighbors permits to pass through
his gates and cross on the bridge,
and practically it is Mr.. higgins
bridge and the county's elephant.
Certainly the matter cannot stand
this way. Mr.. higgins can't afford
to keep up road and be annoyed
by people passing through his prem
Uses, and the bridge is simply worth
nothing to anybody.
There is only one way that we
know of by which it can be made
available for any use. The citizens
of the Fourth district are applying to
the court for bridge across West
Fork, which is greatly needed, and
we would suggest that If the citizens
have no use for the Yellow creek |
bridge, it might be taken down and
put up over West Fork. The bridge |
is made of iron, put together with
bolts and screws, and can be taken
down without any injury to the
work.

BOYS AND GlRLSl
Here is a Program Especially for
You.
A Chance for Some One of You to Get
the Prettiest Pony and ohaise
in the State.

In connection with the splendid
program already issued, and which
has attracted widespread attention
and interest, the LEAF CHRONICLE
has held In reserve, especially for its
title friends, the finest Pony and

Gle. Contestants will be privileged
to take subscriptions for any amount,
from so cents upward. No amount
less than so cents will be received.
Fifty cents will secure the DAILY
LEAF.CHRoNICLE one month, or the
SEMI WEEKLY for three months.
BY the year the price of the DAILY
is $500, and the EMI-WEEKLY
$500. Both are well worth the
money and more. Under this ar.
rangement a paid-up yearly SUBJ
scriber to either the DAILY or SEMI.
WEEKLY will be entitled to the ben
efits accruing from the five guesses
in the regular program and vote
for any one of the young ladies con-

amount shall be credited. All sub
scriptions receipted for by the Office.
Every contestant for the Pony and
Chaise will keep an account of the
amount turned in, duplicate of

there can be no difficulty in deciding
to whom the Pony and Chaise be-
longs. The aggregate in dollars and
cents decides The contest. This
offer goes into effect when ten

port their names to this Office as con-
testants No one now employed by

A CURB STONE EVANGELIST,

Last night about S o'clock, middle
aged man with hair turning gray, emerged
from the shadow OF the Golden Eagle
store out onto the corner of the sidewalk
and without any ceremony whatever COM
menced singing the songs of Zion. The
suddeness and strangeness of the proceed
ing arrested the attention of every passing
pedestrian and even carriages were halted
to see and hear him. When he had his
hymn finished he commenced preaching
precisely after the manner of the Saliva
tion Army and for forty minutes he
preached the glories of God and he preach
ed them hard and earnestly too. Before
he was half way through all the crowd
had deserted him but the EAGLE reporter.
and he was not discouraged as long as one
remained. but on the other hand he be-
came more earnest and to tell the truth he
said some mighty convincing things.
When his sermon was ended he took the
reporters hand and after learning that he
was a christian he became more commun
icative. He identified himself as the Rev.
Paul of Emporia and stated that he was
here doing evangelistlc work for the
United Brethren church. He arrived in
town Saturday and tried to hire a hall but
rents were too high and he concluded take
the streets. He first took up position
near the merry go round on South Market
s1rest, but after four nights prea ching
theIe he had no effect on that crowd and
concluded TO try his persuasive power on
the people who peram bulate along Doug
las avenue. He is quite an earnest man
and deserves better success than he is
meeting with,

A FEW SENSIBLE WORDS.

From the committee of fortyfaur it was
learned that the location of the reunion
camp has been changed from the Wichita
fair grounds, which are two miles from
the city, to the beautiful Riverside park,
within the city limits. This park is one
of finest natural groves in the state is
very convenient to the city, is lighted by
electricity, has an abundant supply of
pure water. Here they propose to have
perfect arrangements for the comrades to
takes their families into camp, provide
them with tents, straw, light. water, fuel.
etc, where they can enjoy week of solid
comfort and pleasure, in il fine shady park
convenient to all railroads. all parts of the
city, with electric cars running TO the cen
ter of the camp; in fact it is the intention
of the people of Wichita to make this the
most successful and enjoyable reunion
ever held in the state, no matter what cost
or trouble may be involved
The committee has already secured sew
eral speakers OF national reputation and
are negotiating for others. They are eu-
deavoriug TO secure that grand master
piece the Cyclorama of Gettysburg which
has never yet been exhibited outside of
the large eastern cities aud which is well
worth a jourdey across the state TO view
and study.
IL is already evident that the comrade
who fails to take his family aud spedd the
week ut the state reunion will miss an eX-
cellent opportunity to see many OF his old
and TO allow his wife and child
rem TO experience and enjoy little outing
and pleasure which will be an event Ia
their lives. Prepare to speud reunion
week in Riverside park at Wichita, and
you will never regret 1t. estern Vet

GOOD REPORT FROM THE WEST.

Will Bolton of the Kiowa County Signal
was up from Greensburg yesterday, but it
was too hot for him to climb up the two
flights of stairs to the EAGLE sanctum.
He entertained a reporter down stairs,
however, with some magnificent stories
about the wheat crop in Kiowa county,
aud unblushingly stated that every grain
of wheat raised there this year bore
striking resemblance to a young pumpkin.
He soon became more serious, and stated
that the wheat crop in kiowa, Comanche
aud Pratt counties could not be exceiled
this year in any portion of the world. He
says the wheat is all cut aud that hun
dreds OF threshers are at work. In many
cases he states that the wheat weighs
sixty-three and one-half pounds to the
bushel and that the shocks IN the field are
as thick as hair on a dogs back. He esti-
mates that Kiowa county will market
000, 900 bushels this Year.

sPEAkING OF WHEAT,

Mr.. Hal Newton, who lives about four
miles northwest of town between the
rivers, has just finished threshing some
wheat he has raised in Riverside addition,
and the yield is most satisfactory, the May
wheat going to the splendid figure of near
~ fifty bushels TO the acre. and the Tur-
key wheat forty bushels. The Turkey
wheat when partly ripe and waving in the
breeze was one of the most beautiful sights
the eye ever rested upon. and the Woman
Columbian Club through its president,
Mrs. B. H. Campbell. has secured generous
bundles of each kind for exhibition and
decoration in the Kansas state building at
the worlds fair.

JAMES NoLAN's SUICIDE.
Theory Offered Thst he Killed Himself Ont
of Fear That h Might kiil his Sister.

The remains of James Nolan, the young
man who committed suicide night before
last, will be laid to rest this forenoon.
The hour has not yet been fixed definite
ly, but iG viii be between 10 a. m. and Z
His brothers have arrived and they have
concluded not to keep the remains until
the mother who is in Indiana visiting can
arrive.
linn edately after the sad event occurred
the coroner was notified and an inquest
was held yesterday Several witnesses
were examined and the evidence is almost
precisely the same as the published ac-
count of the tragedy in yesterday mora
ing's EAGLE The finding of the jury is
as follows:
STATE OF KANSAS.
SEDGwICK COUNTY.
An inquisition holden az my Office at the
court house in Wichita, Kan. on the 18th
and l4th days of July, lo92, before me,
N. NJ McCoilister, coroner of Sedgwick
county, on the dead body of James Nolan
there lying dead. by the jurors whose
names are hereunto subscribed. The said
jurors, upon their oatts. do say that from
the testimony given, the deceased came to
his death from wounds inflicted by A razor
in his own hand, while temporarily in
sane.
Jury: Charles n. Fecheimer, William
\. Caswell, F. B. Fosnot, Fred Buckley,
Robert Duncan, Andy Melvin.
In testimony whereof. the said jurors
have hereunto set their hands the day and
year above written.
Attest: n. II. MCCoLLISTER, Coroner.
A gentleman VINO was we'll acquainted
with Mr.. Nolan, and who watched his
movements carefully during the past
week, has theory about the suicide
which he disclosed TO a reporter for
the EAGLE last night. The theory is,
that he killed himself, fearing that he
might xiii his sister.
THE fact is" said the gentleman
in question, 'Mr Nolan has had
temporary fits of insanity during
the past week. That il what he is said to
have but call it delerium tremens. He
was at times very Eeryous. very excitable,
and when these delerious spells would
come on him, very abusive and it might
be added dangerous. He knew in his more
quiet moments that be was dangerous,
and he entertained a horror at the thought
that he might do something desperate.
Now then it is my opinion that he felt this
terrible spell coming on him last night,
and fearing that when under it he might
kill his sister, who was sleeping in the
next room, he avoided all danger of that
by killing himself" That Mr.. Nolan was
very fond of his sister there is no doubt,
and for that reason there is some virtue in
the theory offered.
Before going home the evening of the
tragedy he called at the Kelley institute
End told DR.. Noble all his troubles arising
from the nervousness caused by hard
drinking. The doctor gave him something
to quiet his nerves, which had the desired
effect for several hours.
