The OLDEST INHABITANT.

The EAGLE has unearthed the fact that
Kansas boasts of a grandchild whose
parents and grandparents were natives OF
Kansas. It has been considered, and so
published for years, that Colonel A. ,.
johnson of Topeka was the first white
child born on Kansas soil, but it seems
now that for thirty-five years everybody
has been mistaken in that point and that
Colonel Bryant, who is often seen on the
streets Of Wichita, and who is a brother
of Mrs. DIR. Hendrickson of this city, is
entitled To that distinction. Mrs. Hen
erickson who has lived in Wichita since
the spring of 1872 has often spoken to US OF
her childhood's experiences in army life
al Laa7enworth and other posts, but never
that we recollect of, her brothers birth
at Leavenworth. But the following from
the Kansas City Gazette seems to settle 1t.
If it don't the colonel who is a regular
reader of the EAGLE will please set the
matter right. The Gazette says:
Here we have the veritabe Kansas
pioneer" Secretary Adams of the State
Historical society has received a letter
from Colonel Montgomery Bryant of the
Thirteenth United States infantry, Fort
Supply, !. r.. v no WAS born at Fort Leav-
enworth, Kan. Dec. %, 1881. Colonel
Bryant's father was at that time assistant
surgeon in the army and stationed at the
post. Tue father was in command that
established the post under Colonel Leav-
euworth in 1873 So far as heard from
Colonel Montgomery Bryan is the oldest
person now living who was born in Kan
sas. Next to him il Colonel A. ,. john
son of Topeka. who according to the rec
ord was born at the Shawnee Mission
Labor school, johnson county, July II,

Yesterday morning The mercury dropped
down to i've degrees below zero, but as the
atmosphere was still nobody thought the
cold was so intense. &c was the first time
in four years that the mercury dropped
below zero in this city, although many

colder mornings than that period. The
condition of the weather was noted on top
of the Sedgwick building by Observer

ADJUSTMENTS.

Regarding the much-talked-of "Clemen-
ceau Case" which is to be presented at
the Crawford Grand tonight, a few seem
to be in doubt as to whether Miss Sybil
tombstone is to appear in the character OF
la, her original creation. Manager Og-
ston states that Miss tombstone will posi-
lively appear, and that regarding the
studio scene which has been so much crit
cised, notifications have been made with
out any loss whatever to the dramatic in
terest of the play. Aside from the I'M
mense audiences the piece has drawn from
a desire to see the much-talked-of studio
scene, the play is said to be full OF dra-
matte interest. The sale of seats promises
"a large audience. Reserved seats may be
obtained during the day at RIGHTS drug
store and at the box office.
