which the EAGLES cabinet contains, at
the request of DR.. Stevenson has been get
ting together some facts about Wich;ta's
early schools. He wrote to William Finn
OF Sedgwick City. who taught the first
Wichita school, and in the year
of 1859 Mr. Finn sends him
sketch OF the school building
which was ''dug out" 12x14. with a gor-
geonsdormer window:on one side level with
the ground. and which building was near
the two old tepees that stood on the pres
ent Woodman homestead. The remains,
remnants and ruins of both the tepees aud
dug out school house were yet on hand
when the EAGLE was started. Mr. Finn
writes that he had some sixteen scholars
whom he furnished books out of his own
pocket. which he bought at Topeka. He
was to have had s45 per month, to be
raised by subscription. The half of it was
never raised. and as much of the other
half went for books, he went broke in the
spring. And SO we make and write

WHY IT w As SO.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
On Friday morning the EAGLE, In men

morning. said, "but little damage was
done" Tho statement makes iI proper
for ME to publicly mention why 80 little
damage Was done. The east wing OF the
house, consisting of the kitchen and dining
room. was burned out, MS we'll as the roof,
and the whole house was in imminent
danger, but little damage was done to the
furniture and goods in the house; and
this result WAS owing to the cool judg-
ment. practical knowledge, prompt and
persistent work on the part of Fire Mar
fire and save waste and spoliation of prop
erty. Tue doors to four rooms on the
south and east. and which were filed with
household goods, were nearly burned
through, buo not one of them was permit
ted opened. by the marshal, and not a drop
OF water or particle of fire got into any Of
the four rooms, and no damage was done
to anything in them.
1t WAS n fine piece OF work, and has been
commented on most favorably by all who
have noticed it, and Of it Marshal Walden
and his men have right to be proud; and
the property owners of Wichita should
feel deep sense of security in the able
management and efficient work of tue fire
department.

AN EDUCATIONAL LECTURE.

The County Teachers association yester-
day afternoon had the felicity of listening
to one Of the best of the lectures for which
John A. Mcdonald, former superintend-
ent of Shawnee county, and editor OF
| Western School Journal, is so justly
| famous.
Mr. Mcdonald had no subject. Indeed
he assures us in his usual happy way that

| audience before whom it has been deliver

He spoke eloquently on the barbarous

1.-THE MIDNIGHT ALARM"

On next Thursday Thanksgiving after
noon and night The Midnight Alarm"
will be the attraction at Crawford's Grand
opera house. The piece is corker from
the word go, and fairly bristles all through
with opportunities for the artist to get in
bis .iine Italian land" and ''bring down
the house" in the good old orthodox style.
The scene of the struggle with the villain,
the midnight alarm and the fight OF tho
engine to the fire was where the gallery
god got on tip-toe and frantically endeav-
ored to turn himself inside out in his de-
light with the thrilling situation. And 1t
WAS thrilling. too. Parquet and dress cir
Gle were just as deeply interested and
wildly demonstrative as the 'small boy"
over this realistic scene. and gave most
roarious evidences of genuine appreciation.
Act first opens on the East river, New
York, within sight of tho famous Brook
Ign bridge, with the villain being foiled in
the effort to iujure a little orphan girl,
who stands between him aud a fortune.
Act second transpires on the Farm OF
Uncle Gideon, where the little girl has
been taken, and the celebration OF the
fortieth wedding anniversary Of the rural
back to New York, where a series OF in-
geniouslycontriyed scenes and complica-
tions, including "The Living Statue
Clock" are introduced. Act fourth is
chuck full of sensationsiism. 1t opens in
the interior OF the Hayes truck house. in
New York. The gong peals out the alarm,
and then comes the engine, vomiting flame
and smoke, and drawn by two superb
horses, the steamer being hurled across
the stage in jiffy, forming magnificent
piece Of stage mechanism. To say that
the effect OF this climax is electrical, is
wholly gratuitous. for it is just here that
the enthusiasm is pandemonium itself let
loose, and that the roof OF the theatr
shows signs of taking skyiight flight. In
act fifth is where vilIainy gets sat down
n relentlessly, the hero is made supreme
ly happy and the audience disperses with
perfect self-sati,factiou.
