A WOMAN ARRESTED.
She Boarded at the Commercial Where Another
Woman's Gown Slipped Into Her Trunk.

Last evening Sheriff Ault arrested a wom-
an named Mrs Howe, haiiing from SaliGa,
at the Commercial hotel on East Douglas
avenue, and took her to the county Jail
where she lodged all night. The charge
against the woman is stealing a dress
from the wardrobe of the hotel.
For sometime back the landlord has
been missing various and sundry articles
aud he was at his wits ends as to how he
could ascertain what became of them. The
most recent theft was that of a gown, and
suspicion was directed towards his fair
guest. A search warrant was procured
her trunk opened, the dress found in it
and the woman taken to Jail as stated.
Who Mrs. Howe is, nobody knows, but
she is evidently an adventures. She came
to the hotel few weeks ago with what
she called husband, and both of them
registered as Mr.. and Mrs. Howe of Sa-
lima. They gave it out in the hotel that
they were just married and were going on
their honeymoon. a search was made
last night for Mrs. Howe's partner, but he
could not be found. 1t is sad ending
for honeymoon, but such IS the fate Of
those who venture outside the straight
and narrow path.

RoBnEks. BOOTY FOUND.


Yesterday Mr.. Skinner, who lives cast
of the stock yards, found lady's plush
cloak and suit of clothes hidden in his
hay stack. He Immediately brought the
goods to the sheriff's Office and explained
how they came into his possession. Sher-
if Ault Immediately smelt Il mouse, and
made up his mind To send all officer out to
Mr.. SINNERS with instructions to keep
his eye on the haystack and arrest anyone
who he may find about there. The officer
did so, but although he kept his eye peeled
until IL O'Clock last night, no one came
near the haystack. The goods were IN
doubtedly stolen and hidden in the hay
stack until the robber could conveniently
dispose of them. Anyone who may have
lost the goods can get them from the sher-
i'll by properly describing them.

THE COLDEST DAY.

To he Editor Of the Eagle.
Please state through the columns of your
paper what was the coolest day or night
in Wichita during the last six years.
A SUBSCRIBER.
So far as recorded evidence is concerned,
Tuesday morning, Jan. 10, of the present
week, was the coolest day experienced by
Wichita in six years. 1t was certainly the
coolest day since the signal service station
was established here. There was only one
day that could possibly be colder, and that
was in February, 1856. when the mercury
went % degrees below zero Mt
Dodge City, and IS at Topeka.
There was no signal station at
Wichita at that time. but according to
reasonable computation. based on CON-
parsons with Wichita and Dodge City,
the mercury must have been at least 10
degrees below zero in this city at that
time So it is almost a positive fact that
the cold day in February, 'S6, has been the
coolest day in the period mentioned.

A WOMAN'S WIT.
The Novel Scheme Adopted by Wichita Girl
TO Get Husband.

1t is cold day when Wichita girls cant
get into the state of matrimony. Obsta-
Giles may be placed on their way that may
seem insurmountable but if they want to
become somebody's darling wife real bad
they will find some way in overcoming
them. And usually they adopt q very
novel means that could only be thought of
by minds nurtured 10 the glorious climate
OF Kansas.
A short time ago young girl in this
city who had just arrived at the age of
sweet sixteen concluded that she would no
longer live in single blessedness. A young
man has already popped" to her and
nothing was lacking but the mothers con-
sent for, under the law, no young girl of
that age can mary without the consent of
her parents or guardian. The mother was
approached on the subject but
she refused point blank to
give her permission. This, certainly
was great obstacle in the way of the
young couple, but it was overcome in the
following very successful and novel man
ner;
The young lady caught the grip for the
time being, or at least pretended to have
next day and physician was sent for.
The next day it was critical and the physI-
clan was again called in and gravely pre-
scribed for his patient. The next day her
condition became exceedingly dangerous,
to all appearance; the doctor was again
called in and he taxed his skill to relieve
the young girl, but without effect, for the
young lady kept sinking and sinking, I'M
til apparentle there were but few breaths
left in her body. She told her mother that
death was near at hand, and desired to be
attended by a minister, as she wanted her
last hours soothed with the consolation of
religion. A minister was called in, and
very piousiy proceeded to comfort
her afflicted soul on its jour
ney to the celestial spheres. The
minister's words Of consolation and SYM
pathy soothed her very much. but she
called her mother to her bedside and told
het that only one thing could be done to
make her death happy one and that was
to be made the wife of the man she loved.
The grief stricken mother, of course, was
willing to do anything possible to make
the last moments of the life of her loved
one happy and consented to the marriage,
not thinking, of course, that their married
life would last more than a few hours.
Accordingly the young girls betrothed
was sent for and the facts stated to him.
He went at once to the probate judges
office, procured license and
hurried back to the bedside
of his bride. The mystic words were
spoken, and when the minister declared
them to be man and wife the bride
bounded out of her bed, grasped the bride
groom about the neck and in many other
ways manifested that she was a very lively
dying girl, to the great surprise of all who
were present. Explanations followed, and
she told her mother that she feigned sick
ness SO as to accomplish that which her
mother objected to.
Thus it can be seen that the wit Of Above
sick girl can not only circumvent the OBJ
jections OF parent, but also deceive the
medical science, which she is now laugh
ing at in scorn.

Richards g. Pringle's famous Georgia
colored Ministries made their appearance
at. the CRAWFORD Grand last evening TO a
large audience. In the first part depart
ure is made from the old electrotyped
style and incidental to songs and jokes a
number of meritorious specialties are in
PRODUCED The general verdict from many
in the audience was that it was the clean
est and best performance in the minstrel
line ever seen in the city. The numerous
specialties consisted in singing and dane
ing and strictly in the line of the ever well
come old time minstrelsy. The Crescent
City quartette sang well, Gauze the female
imrersonator was given several encores,
the solo singers were goo and ''tambo" aud
bones" backed up by Billy Kersands, the
versatile comedian, with mouth as large
as the largest KEEP the audience in a contin-
ual roar of laughter. A most agreeable
surprise was given the audience in the
finale, the Venetian Mandoliers," an en-
PERTAINING mandolin mtsical part and
march which was far aboYe the usual
knock about forces generally presented.
The large audience last evening was GER
tainly well deserved compliment to the
performers, Messrs. Richards 81 Pringle
and to the lodal management.

A GASOLINE ACCIDENT.

Miss Blanche Fechheimer yesterday
afternoon met with quite painful acct
dent, caused by the spontaneous COM
bustion OF some gasoline preparation that
was being used in polishing stove. When
the explosion took place Miss Feehheimer
was several feet away from the stove, al
though her face and right hand were quite
badly burned. DIR. McAdams was called
in and dressed the wounds. Although
quite painful the burns are not serious,
and the young lady's many friends unite
in wishing for her early recovery from the
accident, which might have had more
serious results.

FOR KILLING GEORGE THORNTON.

Last night three more Indians were
brought up from the territory and lodged
in the county Jail to await trial. Two Of
them are charged with the most popular
offence known to the country, selling
whisky, while the third is charged with
no less crime than the murder Of Deputy
United States Marshal George Thornton
some three months ago. This ones name
is Umusse and he is full blooded Usage.
He stoutIy denies his guilt but the officers
say they have a good case against him and
that be will unquestionably adorn the
gallows in time TO come for the offence
with which he is charged. George Thorn
ton, it will be remembered, was killed
some three months ago in trying TO make
an arrest in the Usage country. He WAS
shot in the back and another Indian,
named Lusky. is now in Jail here for the
murder. Umusse is tough looking
Indian and one that the most stout
hearted man may well feel afraid of on
the prairie or in the woods.

THE BOARD OF TRADE.
The Meeting Tonight VIII Result in Much Good
For wichita

The meeting OF the Board OF Trade to-
night will be one of the most important
oues ever held in the history of the city
This board has never failed to accomplish
AL she has ever undertaken. when every
member was of one mind. The prelimi-
nary meeting held on Tuesday night
showed that the spirit of push and energy
had not died entirely out, but was aroused
tosthe Importance OF the time and oppor-
tunlty for more united action. The inter
est taken etc. continues the work already
begun by the board, and to enlarge its
usefulness to the city, was certainly graft
flying to those who have labored faithfully
and patiently SO long. At times under the
most adverse circumstances without even
moral support Or words of encouragement
When the members come together for
one common purpose, working for
the common good there is
no organization in the country that can
equal it. Its members are among the
most prominent menin the city, repre-
senting every interest, and consequently
identified with everything which will con
tribute TO its welfare and prosperity. 1t IS
more than gratifying to see those who
have not participated in the workings of
their organization ready to become identi-
fed with it and assist those who have so
nobly carried it forward. New members
will add new life and new ideas aud so it
Is hoped that every business man will be
identified in some manner with the board
and feel free to give his best thought to-
wards building up this most promising of
western cities.
Other boards of trade are now laying
their plans for their years work and so
Wichita must not be caught mapping.
Our trade interests are being extended
into new fields and must be protected.
Our territory is being invaded and must
be guarded. There must be no dissension,
bat unity of action. Because of these
and many other things that might be
mentioned Wichita must be up and alive
to her best interests.
The time is now, and so it is hoped at
the meeting tonight that the old time en-
thusiasm will assert itself by both the new
and old members, which will bring out q
working organization that will more than
meet the faith of our friends abroad and
the confidence of our people at home.

ANOTHER FIRE.
1.-THE Saratoga" Catches Fire Through Some
Mysterious Cause.

"The Saratoga is on fire." was the mes
sage that came in over the phone at IL
o'clock last night to the fire department
Nos !, 2 and responded promptly, and
reached the burning building, which Is
situated at the stock yards, in an incredi-
bly, short space of time. The building was
found in flames and the three branches OF
the fire department went to work at once
to subdue them, with good results. From
the start they controlled the fire, but they
found 1t was not safe to leave 1t till about
O'Clock, as tongues of fire shot out here
and there through the roof, even after
they thought they had the fire completely
extinguished.
The building was not complete wreck
by any means, although the rear half of it
was badly scorched. The Waterman OF
the building came within an ace Of
being burned alive. as he was not
really aware that the house was
on fire till the flames had almost envel-
oped him. The cause of the fire could not
be ascertained, as nobody knew how it was
started 1t was said however, that man
who was intoxicated was put to bed in the
building and that he possibly overturned
the lamp.
The building was practically unoccu-
pied, and nothing of any great value was
in it, except some chairs and possibly a
bed or two. Captain Mayer is the owner
of the building. The amount of insur-
ance, if any, could not be ascertained.
When SO many of the fire companies
went to the scene Of the blaze somebody
started the report that the stock yards
were on fire, and. therefore, great excite
ment was caused down town for little
while. until it became positively known
that the report was false.
