NOTES FOR OLD SOLDIERS.

CAPT. THOMAS J. SPENCER now in the
employ of the United States pension
office, served in forty-five battles of the
civil war, was captured three times and
escaped twice, and saw the inside OF
seven confederate prisons
In number of cases operators taken
down with fever lay shivering, but
with ear close to their instruments,
while they sent or received messages
upon which hung the fate of thousands
of men. At the siege of Charleston the
federal wire ran 30 close to the rifle pits
of the confederates that it was frequent
ly cut by their bullets
THE late Gen. John Pope, by dating
one of his orders headquarters in the
saddle" prompted the confederate com
mander, Robert E Lee, TO perpetrate
what was said to be the only joke OF his
life What can you expect" he is
credited with saying, of general who
puts his headquarters whore his hind
quarters ought to be?"
AFTER lapse of nearly thirty years,
the photographs of more than one thou
sand union soldiers have been exhumed
from the dead letter department of the
United States post Office at Washington.
These are only small portion, doubt
less. of the pictures that were lost in
the mails during the war, while on
their way to friends at home. They
represent every state and every branch
of the regular and volunteer land forces
as well as every rank from general to
private.
THE most surprised man at the late
Grand Army encampment at Washing
ton was Postmaster John b. Emery, OF
Williamsport When Mr.. Emery was
at the front in 1862 he had photograph
taken of himself and mailed TO his
mother. She never received it and the
picture was long since forgotten Dur
ing the encampment the postmaster
was naturally interested in the dead
letter office. There is there collection
of several thousand photographs that
have failed to reach their owners, and
while looking over them Mr.. Emery
was astonished to find bis own among
them. By unwinding the necessary
amount of red tape the postmaster
established his claim to the photo
graph and it was sent TO him few days
ago

ADJUSTMENTS.
SCENFPY AND SINGING.

The last presentation of ''Zephra" is an
nounced for tonight ut the opera house.
At popular prices there will be a splendid
audience. Nothing will be omitted In
fact several new features viii be added.
Manager Averill announces that second
electrical dance will be offered, the nov
city of which will fairly paralyze the
house; even as originally given the dance
was the talk OF the town. Blackbirds,
grasshoppers, amaZons, brownies and
clowns are planning to Guido themselves.
The performance is now perfect in smooth
ness, Offering in many respects an entertain
ment superior to Ben Hur.n Nothing
more beautiful than the great vari-colored
fountain has ever been seen here, and the
grotto setting in the second act is some
thing long to be remembered. "Zephra"
does not belong to ordinary ''home-talent"
entertainments Thousands Of dollars are
invested in costumes and scenery, and
every feature is brought up to professional
standards The Kansas City papers as
well as the EAGLE have commended and
praised the beautiful spectacle.
Many tickets have been sold by the par
Elephants to their friends, and those who
miss this chance will regret it.

INLuNCT.oNs DISSOLVED.

The temporary injunction cases against
the liquor men brought by County At
torney Boone were dissolved yesterday by
Judge Reed who held that where a petition
for injunction under the nuisance clause
of the prohibtory law is verified on Gin
formation and Belief the state is not en-
titled to temporary injunction, but that
if the showing is sufficient in the final
trial the state would be entitled to per-
manent injuuctions aud an order abating
the nuisance.
This, it appears. is the first time this
question has arisen and Nh. Bovae will take
it to the supreme court. Mr. Boone al
Ieges that it has been the practice here to
verify such petitions on information and
belief" The more the matter is developed
the more it appears that the state admin
istratiou is back Of the prosecutions.
Chief OF Police Cone denies that the state
administration has anything to do with it.
He says he knows it hes not. He was at
Topeka Sunday and probably had talk
with the governor.
Now then, there is another story told.
This is to the effect that when County At
to,ney Boone went to Topeka he was or
dered then to prosecute the joints
to the bitter end and to keen prose-
cutting them until all resources
were exhausted or the traffic ceased. He
returned home with these instructions.
When President Dixon of thepolice com
mmission and Chief Cone heard what Mr..
Boone's instructions were they went to
| Topeka, and informed the governor of the
! injury prosecutions were doing the Popn-
| list cause in Wichita. And then the story
goes on TO say that the governor promised
! not TO fight the joints openly but that he
! would do so behind the back OF one John
! A Murray who is the author of the pro-
hibitory law and the attorney for the state
| temperance league.
! Now then the next move that will be
made is that John Murray will come to
Wichita and commence prosecutions in-
| dependent OF Mr. Boone. When the
curtain falls on the final act of the drama,
or more properly speaking farce, already
commenced it will be found that the state
administration is the 'heavy william" of
the play.
The prosecutions are made on the same
| system, and the information furnished by
the same spies that prevailed and operated
at Fort Scott and no one will deny but
that the Fort Scott proceedings were
backed up and encouraged by Governor
| Lewelling. If confidence could be be-
trayed it could be proven right now that
I Governor Lswelling and his man Friday
Allen are the men who have urged these
| prosecutions

THE PEOPLE VICTORIOUS.
The Asphalt Company Awarded the Contiac,
For Paving Douglas Avenue.

The Douglas avenue paving question
was settled at last at last nights council
meeting.
When the opening of bids was called for
Mr. Caswell asked pesmission for typical
looking broker named Simon Greenspan
to make a statement OF some KIND, the
nature of which was not mentioned.
Mayor Cox said that there was nothing 10
talk about until the bids were opened at
which time he would allow the Honorable
Simon Greenspan to address the meeting.
The bid from the Barber Asphalt company
which was the only one in was opened
and it contained proposition duly au-
theniicated to pave the avenue at the rate
of 81 so per square yard. The envelope
also contained a certified check for SIC, 900
as guaranty Of good faith. Mr.. Hill
moved that the proposition be accepted,
etc, which was seconded by Schad. Mr.
Simon Greenspan then took the floor and
proceeded to tell the council what they
should do in the matter and how much
superior brick is to asphalt as paving
matter. Mr.. Greenspau did not make u
very effective speech, for there was an air
of Il know all about it and you know
nothing" about his remarks that the
council did not relish. When he had con-
cluded Mr.. Rock of the asphalt company
was invited to speak. He saw that Green
pans speech was not relished and he
adopted the opposite tack, by saying that
the councilmen of Wichita knew more
about the city's interests than he did an
he declined to dictate to them. There
was such marked contrast between the
methods adopted by each of the men in
presenting their claims that Mr. Rocks
was loudly cheered when he had finished
his remarks. a vote was taken and the
bid of the asphalt company was adopted
| and the mayor requested to sign the con-
tract with them. The only change in The
vote since last meeting night WAS Horner
and Alberts, who voted against the
asphalt this time, johnson and Mccall
Were not present.
| Mr. Simon Greenspan. the broker, indi-
! Gated that legal proceedings may be taken
| to delay the matter of paving the street,
which certainly was a bold statement foi
Topeka man to make who has no inter
ests in Wichita, much less in the street
! which is to be paved.
The official proceedings follow.

To the Churches. SUNDAY schools and Young Peo-

On Nav q, 1898, the international sun

passage of scripture for the teaching OF the
evils of drink 1t Is sometimes calIeo

While there is a revival OF law ana ordef
in behalf of prohibition in our state, there
should also be a revival of the work OF IN
struction rs to the evils of the drink habit
While we do all that can be done by pro-
hibition TO keep the drink away from the
man. we should do all we can by moral
suasion to keep the man away from the
drink.
If this Sunday be devoted to the work OF
prevention, by temperance sermons from
the pulpit, temperance lessons IN the sun
day school and in Young Peoples socie-
ties, and in giving the pledge OF total ao-
s.inence, it may be a red letter day. IN
