FELL FROM A BOX.

Miss Dickey. one of the popular sales
ladies in Cash Henderson's dry goods en-
porium met with what might have been a
much more serious accident last evening
Immediately before closing time. She was
standing on box putting bolt of goods
in Its place when the box turned over
causing Miss Dickey to fall violently
against the corner of the counter which
her head struck. \ physician was sum-
moned Immediately who rendered med
zeal attention after which the young lady
was sent home III a cab. The shock of the
fall was worse than the Injuries received
and there is no doubt but what the young
lady will be able TO assume her duties
again in day or two, at least it is hoped
by her many friends.

A RATHER MYSTERIOUS LADY.

A close observer AZ the St Patrick's
night ball given in this city last week
could see lady sitting on the south side
OF Armory hall with far away look on
her face and a stranger, seemingly. TO
everybody present. She conversed with
nobody and nobody invited her to dance
during the entire evening. She remained
typical wall flower during the entire
evening and while she may enjoy the fes-
Invites she showed no signs of il; neither
did she show any signs of being ayerse to
what was going on. What thoughts were
passing through her brain but possibly
one gentleman in Wichita knew. She was
neglected and yet the time was when she
was shining light in ball rooms forty
times as large as the Garfield hall and forty
times forty richer in its decorations. To
be brief the gentleman who recognized her
knew her when she was one of the reign
ing bellies Of Dublin when she not only
danced at the balls given by the new Lord
Mayor and Lady Nayoress but actually
danced in the castle" where all the
beauty of the Creme de Ia Creme
of the Irish capital assembled and where
none but those literally endowed with the
O4AGSS D4OCA SL4ppCA Tie Ian tdS-4A
When he last saw her was in Dublin,
about ten years ago, and her history from
that time is blank 10 him. When she
was leaving the ball room unattended he
accosted her and conyersed with her. but
she gave him no idea Of where she lived
or Of the peculiar changes in her life that
brought her down from the proud station
she once occupied in the social world 10
her neglected and uncourted condition of
the present time. Several observed her,
but her distant disposition seemed a bar TO
every young man present from requesting
her to dance with them. When she
reached the foot Of the stairs she stepped
into cab and that is the last seen of her
by the young gentleman, who has been
puZZling his brain ever since to know
something more about her. The only
theory he can advance about her is that
she must have been connected in some
way with the social intrigue that pre-
vailed in the Irish capital some six or
seven years ago, which might have led to
her social ostracism. Several other gen.
tlemen have seen her frequently in
Wichita, but rather think she is living not
in Wichita, but some neighboring town.

WINFIELD BOARD OF TRADE.

The Winfield board of trade, at its meet
ing on Saturday last. endorsed upon the
following report OF the committee on
transportation touching the matter OF
jobbing rates for interior Kansas:
The recent decision of the railroad COM
missioners gives 20 Southern Kansas cities
car load rates, which wlll foster and build
up iobbing business IN Southern Kan
sas, aud Il the position taken by the com
mjsS.0ners IS sustained, as i should be-
Missouri river l0bberS cannot compete
with the merchants who distribute from
their own warehouses located III Southern
Kansas. This decision does not affect any
point south of the Kansas line, except
placing them nearer to the source OF sup
ply aud diminishing the costs of local
transportation.
This gives Southern Kansas jobbers con-
troll OF all the territory ii Oklahoma
and the Indian territory, and
practically shuts out al Missouri
river points from Southern Kan
sas unless they take advantage OF the sit
uatlOu and locate houses u this part OF
the state We welcome all such 10 Win
field and will assure them of such encour-
agemeuC and assistance as VIII lnnure TO
their benefit. Winfield enjoys the advGn-
tage of same rates as her neighbors and Is
superior as GistrtbutIve point 10 any
town IN Southern kaLsas.
The local rate from Missouri river 10
Winfield on sugar is 4sc and the lobbers
rate IS l5c making 81 cents per 10olbs, in
fayer OF the Winfield Jobbers. The i'm
preston prevailed here that this city was
not favored 10y the same rate as Wichita
and other cities in this vicinity, but upon
investigation by the COMMITTEES Of the
board Of trade upon transportation, we
find that we enjoy all the advantages COW
cred by the recent decision
The railroads have been eujOined from
complying with the decision BY injunction
served in the Iuterests'of Missouri river Job
bers, and the case will be tried IN April and
we are decidedly OF the opinion that WIN
field should be properly represented and
use her best endeayors TO sustain her COM
missiouers and dissolve the Injunction.
Many river iubbers are only waiting the
result and :! ould the Injunction De dis
solved, they have expressed their intention
OF putting large stocks III southern hanSas
This is the most important matter for
Southern Kansas that mas presented itself
for years. and If the ruling ot the railroad
commissioners becomes the law governing
rates, We are relieved from the dictatIon
of Missouri river points, and the cities OF
Southern Kansas, placed upon an equIta-
bic basis, with opportunity To extend their
trade and maintain the same for all future
time.
Let US wake up, encourage our COM
missioners 20 stand firm aud preserve the
rights which they have wisely determined
we should enjoy.
Respectfully submitted.

WANTED A SACRIFICE.

Fred Kupler, a Hermit living on kup-
ler's island in the Arkansas river near
Derby, caused enough excitement in that
section OF the country that will last them
for long time. kupler has been known
as tue king of the island, having owned it
in fee simple for many years. He is a
Swiss by birth and an old bachelar by
choice. On Sunday last two boys who
were hunting approached his hut in the
island and hearing loud incantations they
Investigated them. Approaching the
window they saw him in the house with a
big bonfire blazing on the floor and kup-
Ter dancing a species of ghost dance over
it and singing some curious medley. Sud
denly he ceased singing and with a tragic
wave of his hands said: 'Oh, for sacri-
fee" Just then be saw thetwo boys peer
ing in through the window and evidently
linking one of them would be just
the right kind of material for a sacrifice
he dashed out of doors and they took TO
their heels in short order. He followed
them and the chase through the
woods and water was terrible. At times
be got very close to them, but rs he did
so thew eXerted themselves still more and
when they arrived at Derby he was within
a short distance Of them. The little quiet
town was alarmed and in its history no
such excitement has been seen there.
kupler still wanted the sacrifice and he
was SO determined on having it that it
took a dozen stout men to keep him from
having it. Ropes were brought into
requisition and not till he was bound
hand and foot did the people feel that he
was safe. He was brought TO this city
yesterday and lodged in Jail where he now
awaits inquiry into his sanity.
The inquiry will probably be held today.
hupler Is middle aged man with mass
OF black shaggy hair covering his head.
He refuses TO talk to anybody but Father
Nicholes, Dominican priest connected with
the German Catholic church, who seems
to WELD great influence over him. The
priest win probably be present at the trial
today, as the probate judge thinks it al
most impossible to hold the Investigation
without him, owing to the steady refusal
of hupler 70 talk TO anybody but him.
