An Illinois Flood.

WuITE HALL, H., April l0.--The
heaviest rain ever known here fell last
night. The llartwell levee, which pro-
tected several thousand acres of farm
ing land mostly planted in wheat, broke
and the whole country is now under
water. All the county bridges were
swept away and all bottom lands along
the streams are submerged, which
means that many thousands of acres of
wheat has been destroyed. The c., b.
a O. reservoir, which was several acres
in extent, also gave way and is now
empty. The aggregate loss will be very
large.

Wichita has enjoyed for many years. So
said Col Jerry Cole yesterday and Mr.

the week Intervening between Christmas

A HAPPY EVENT.

The marriage of Mr.. F. L. Cummings
of ST. Louis TO MissMaggie Guthrie of this
city on Wednesday last, slight mention of
which has already been made in this pa
per, was one of the happiest events of the
week. The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. L. NJ Hartley at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Guth-
rie on North Waco avenue As the wed
ding march, played by Miss Lucy Guth-
RE, foated through the beautifully dec
Grated rooms, the bridal party took their
places in the opening Of a floral tent,
which made an effective background.
The bride wore a pretty and becoming
gown of cream albatross and China silk
with trimmings of dainty chiffon. The
maid of honor, Miss Emma Medley of
Omaha, Neb, and the hest man,
Mr.. Z. L. Guthrie of Evanston, His,
stood on either side of the bride and
groom within the floral tent. A large
number of relatives and friends were pres
ent, and, after offering their congrat ula-
lions, the remainder of the evening was
passed as merrily as is mete upon such
happy occasions The guests were the Rev.
aud Mrs. l.. NJ. Hartley, Mr.. and Mrs. j.

eyes, Deering is coming here said Mr.
John T. Kelley to an EAGLE reporter yes
terday who called upon him to ascertain
whether or not the report in circulation
was well founded. You had the facts
substantially correct in the EAGLE of yes
terday," said he, continuing. land you
struck the nail square on the head when
you stated that the other harvesting ma
chine folks must follow him"
will Wichita be a general delivery
| point or simply a branch of the Kansas
City house?"
Wichita will be independent of Kansas
City, and, more than that. the Kansas City
house can't do business in the territory of
! the Wichita house The fact is the Kansas
City house has had the entire territory of
the southwest. That IS now cut in two,
and hereafter Wichita will have
all that part of it which is embraced in the
southern half of the state of Kansas, all
the Indian Territory, No-Man 'sLand, the
Panhandle of Texas, aud. in fact, all the
northern portion of the Lone Star state.
Wichita, from now on, Will be to the
southwest what Kansas City has been
heretofore"
What is the object of Mr. Deering in
coming heres"
His object in coming here is precisely
the same as his object in coming to Kan
sas City, TO be nearer the trade. He will
ship his machines to the Wichita ware
house in train-load lots. and for that
reason will be able to sell his machines to
the farmers, and deliver them at their very
doors, several dollars cheaper than if he
had to pay local freight on them from
Kansas City"
Has he the building rentedy"
Yes; the lease is closed.
The building which he has secured is the
large brick barn on North Water street
owned by Mr.. Bush, which has a ground
floor capacity OF II, $50 square feet. This
will be arranged internally so that it will
make one Of the incest warehouses in the
west"
Mr.. Kelly thinks the move is good one
and that it is the beginning of new era
for Wichita. 1t viii force all the other
manufacturers of harvesters to come here.
This done, the pillow and wagon manufac-
turers will follow, and it will be only
question of short time till all the manu-
factuIers of farm machinery must have
warehouses here. The southwest is what
made Kansas City the farm implement
emporium of the west, and the
arrival Of Deering here will be the
dawn Of the day upon which
Kansas City must yield the palm to Wich-
ita in that line.
All the business men in the city were
delighted to hear that Deering had made |
arrangements to locate southwestern
headquarters here and there was not one of |
them but what saw and appreciated the i'm |
portance of it. One well known dealer in |
agricultural implements said: Il am not |
prophet or the son of prophet, but I'll /
wager a ten-dollar bill that Mccormick, |
Walter A. Woods and Osborn will be To- |
Gated here inside of ninety days

About o'clock Tuesday afternoon the
people of Chandler were startled by a pis-
tol shot, and people going to tent in the
west part of town found Mrs Henry Red
mond lying dead on the floor, with bullet
hole in her left breast.
An inquest was held at once. The wom-
ans husband testified that she had shot
herself and then laid the pistol on trunk
and fell over dead.
Doctors who made the post mortem ex-
animation stated, however, that the direc-
tion of the bullet through the heart and
body made impossible for the woman to
have fired the shot herself. The jury re-
turned the following verdict:
I'VE, the jury, find that Lulu Redmond
came TO her death on the afternoon of
Dec. %, 1891, from a wound received in
her body, from revolver while in the
hands of Henry A. Redmond, her hus-
band, and that he did the same wilfulIy
and deliberately"
Redmond was arrested at once and
jailed, but appears very Indifferent.
The dead woman was but 10 years old
and WAS married TO Redmond only three
weeks ago at Leon, Kansas, her maiden
name being Lulu Soward-Oklahoma Elk
change.
Mrs. Redmond was well known to many
young people In Wichita, having visited
here on many occasions during the past
few years.

SOMETHING NICE.

There are many Institutions in Wichita

them busy every meeting night, and have
already tyyenty-one petitions for member

Segment OF new uniforms and they are

reporter had the privilege of seeing them
yesterday. and when he was ushered into
the cathedral in which they were dis
played, he could not help thinking that he
/ had been transferred by some magic means
to the court of some wealthy oriental king
or emperor The robes are similar to those
rich aud elaborate robes used by Catholic
priests and bishops, and are made of the
same material.
The wardrobe Of the consistory consists
of certainly the richest display OF robes ia
the state of Kansas, and the Scottish Rite
Masons, who have visited other jurisdc-
tions say that there are but few consisto-
ries in the United States suppplied
with wardrobe superior TO the Wich-
ita consistory. They ara supposed
to represent the robes worn in ancient
times by Egyptian gods and Persian
princes and kings, but it would Seem, at
least to an observer, that there were no
such fine specimens of haudiwork in these
days. Some fine Turkish costumes are
also there. With every costume there is
mask and wig, which represents the faces
and hair of the various historic characters
OF old upon which the order is based The
robes are Of the finest silk textiles, orna-
mented and decorated with gold laces,
and many of them cost as high as $40 each.
The hats and caps and bonnets are OF
various designs and very rich in appear
ance, particularly the massive turbans
and the finely polished helmets. The
consignment also consisted of
massive pair of gold plated scales,
outlandish semi, human figures, incense
vases, swords, scepters belts. sashes, andsa
hundred and one different things that can
not be described 1t was certainly the
richest and most elaborate display OF robes
the EAGLE man ever saw. IL was actually
dazzling. The last consign ment cost So
900 and as the lodge was fairly well sup
piled before it would not be exagerating
the facts to say that all the robssinow on
hand did not cost penny less than *, 900.
The furniture of the consistory is also
very rich and an estimated value of both
the uniforms and the furniture would not
be too high if placed at $4,000.
A well known Scottish Rite Mason told
the EAGLE reporter thai the amount of
money taken in this year will be nearly if
not quite enough to pay foT the cathedral
building which cost $40, 900.

The exceptional talent and training of
Mrs. Garst. nee Miss Hamblin, are so well
known to our people as to render special
eucomlums unnecessary; but a mention
must be made of her improvement in pur-
ity and richness of tone and the exquisite
style which characterizes her singing.
There is no effort at all, the full, clear
tones flowing as smoothly and easily as a

of modulating her voice to the apartment
in which she sings, an ability which only
the best trained voices possess. Each
number was sung in most finished man.

Bene'' and the solo from Carmen" are to
be specially commended, the latter show

Of the upper notes.
Mr.. Garst is well known to our Wichita
people as possessing voice much above
the average in quality and training. 1t
shows great improvement, especially in
the lower tones. His numbers were
finely sung and highly appreciated, partic-
ularly Howe's "Old German Drinking
Song" given in a most pleasing manner
and with fine execution.
Mr.. and Mrs. Garst delighted the listen
ers with three charming duets, the audi
ence vigorously demanding repetition.
The instrumental numbers by Mrs. Hays !
and Miss Thomas were rendered with the |
taste to be expected of musicians possess |
ing their well known exceptional skill, but |

known to but few of our people. She is an
artist and her execution of Rubeastein's !

exquisite dellcacy of touch and modula- |
