WEATHERED TIE STORM.
After Season of Depression the Building and
Loan Association Pays Ri: Dividends

The Wichita Perpetual Building and
Loan association, which was organized in
April last, is able TO eud the year with
flying colors Notwithstanding the fact
that it had TO fight through the financial
depression Of the last six months
This demonstrates that "A building and
loan association is a good thing when
properly conducted, as well as being the
! best friend the sayings investor and home
seeker can find.
This institution even under the most
discoursging conditions is able to declare
an excellent dividend for the six mouths
ending Jan. !, 1898, besides passing t sur
plus account fine profit In addition.
The fortunate possessors of stock in the
association are greatly gratified over the
outlook ahead, AS with better times still
better results will be attained. Even at
the present rate of profits the holder of a
$500 90 share of stock by paying 81 90 dues
each week, can in about six and one half
years be the fortunate possessor of full
paid up share worth $4,000 cash,
bringing in an elegant profit from small
savings, the payment of which the holder
of the stock will hardly miss from his
weekly earnings.
No other class of investment at this time
promises as safe and profitable invest
ment as shares In the Wichita Perpetual
Building aud Loan association, and be-
ginning with the new year every one who
desires to turn over a new leaf and begin
TO save something for the future rainy
day, can make no wiser resolution than
helping along young Wichita enter
prise and at the same time help them
selves.
On the other hand, the homeseeker is
paying rent and without money to build a
home, can, by paying into this association
an amount equal TO the ordinary monthly
rental asked for good houses, and in few
years be the proud possessor of an abiding
place that possesses all the attractions of
Home Sweet Home"
The officers of this association are: r. c.
Stewart, president: Charles +. Potts. vice
president; John l.. Powell, treasurer: J. c.
Rutan. secretary, and c. IL Cohn, W. Il.
Dusaney. II. l.. Gordon. J. d. Hutchinss.
W. w. Johuston, Jr., J. J. Mcnamara, 5.
\. McCiung aud J. w, O'NeiI. directors,
these names are guaranty that the affairs
of the association VIII be economically and
properly administered.

A HALF A THOUSAND.
The Things that Should Have Been Said and a
Vote OF Thanks.

Because OF the lateness OF the hour Mrs.
Walden's grand charity concert failed of
receiving the notice that it's merits de-
manded While q detailed report would
now prove too late to be news to the local
reader, yet for the sake of the record and
in recognition Of the efforts and interest of
all concerned, including singers, actors
and audience. it is but proper to say that
the concert was q triumphant success from
the moment the two beautiful floral
tributes were laid at the feet of Mrs. Wal
den upon the conclusion OF her number to
.he last strains of the last march of Shaw's
orchestra. Ia the language of student
of classic mnsic and at the same time a
writer of acknowledged merit on technic,
who happened to be present from an
eastern city: so many touches of true art
and evidences Of high culture are seldom
encountered i'll Unrehearsed entertainments
nine-tenths OF the performers being
amateurs or professionals" OF the
twenty-seven numbers at least twenty of
them were renditions OF high order Of
excellence, fact that was loudly and un
mistakably emphasized by one of the
largest and most appreciative audiences
ever assembled in the city. OF course the
program was too long. For like popular
occasions they always are. But it was
wonderful the way the interest was COM
pletely sustained throughout and up till
eleven O'Clock. There were vocal solos,
duets, trios and quartets that would have
entertained any audience anywhere. Ex-
CARNATIONS OF surprise over unexpected
voice power and culture were frequent.
With its operatic and dramatic features it
was more than a concert. It would take
two columns of space to anywhere near
give the individual praise so desarvedly
won by a score or more of the participants.
Mrs. Walden Is not only an artist but she
proved herself to ba competent professor
in her pupils who sang solos, and gen.
eral in the way she had marshaled and
managed SO great an affair Of such tri-
umphant results.
The net receipts are very close to, in
round numbers, $500. which will bs dis
posed of by the committee of gentlemen
heretofore named. The following note
received from Mrs. Walden last evening
explains itself:
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
wish to express my appreciation and
return thanks through your valuable
paper the EAGLE and to the many
friends mo assisted in the charity cou-
cert. The generous manner in which all
the participants offered their services and
the successful result of their efforts is GER
tanly most gratifying to the patrons of
the concert as we'll as to myself.
The committee of gentlemen appointed
will see that the funds are properly used,
for the purpose intended. Respectfully
MALVINA WALDEN

LEHMAN is WANTED
POPULAR CHOICE TO FILL THE VA
CANOY IN THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Citizens of the Fourth Ward Without
Regard to Party Politics are Ask.
ing for His Selection to Sue
ceed John Fazel Who Re
Gently Resigned.

The board of education are asked to ap-
point G. +. Lehman to the vacancy from
the Fourth ward occasionsd by the resigna-
tion o: J. II. Fazel. Mr.. Lehmann seems
to be, practically, the unanimous choice.
1t Is certain that his appointment is asked
by nearly every man of standing IN the
ward. SO emphatic and united are the
taxpayers and patrons of the schools in
that ward that there can be no opposition
on the board, and there being no other
candidate it is presumable that he will be
unanimously chosen at their meeting to-
morrow night. If any individual ambi-
tion or other interest should develop an
other candidate as against the clearly eX-
pressed wish of the people of the ward
more directly concerned an open ballot of
the board will be expected. The people
are going to know about it.
Mr.. Lehman, of the wholesale house of
Lehman, Higginson & Co, needs no in
PRODUCTION to the people of the city. He
is solid business man of uBQuestioned
Integrity not only, but gentleman of ex-
perience in the very line in which he is
asked to serve, having been president of
board of education for years. Person
ally, be has not sought the place, nor does
he personally desire it, but he has simply
yielded to the requests of the leading citi-
zens of the ward who have without regard
to politics signed the following petition
which will be duly presented.
WICHITA, Kan, Dec. 13, 1893.

John b. Knight and Miss Sadie Hutchi-

happy event was celebrated on Thursday
night, Dec: 2S 1898 at the family residence,
SIG Matbewson avenue. About forty of
the intimate friends of the family gathered
at the home to offer congratulations and
to leave some substantial tokens of their
regard. The bride and groom of quarter

than they did on Thursday night. Four
daughters, grown to young womanhood,
and four younger children added the JOY
Of their presence to the happy occasion.
