THE EAGLE DID 1T.
How Doc Snap Cane to be Arrested at Ana
d1rko.

Jake Harmon, one of the ex-metropoli-
tan policemen, returned at II o'clock Sun
day night from Anadarko, l. T., with
Doc Snapp, one OF the men implicated in
the robbery of the United States Express
Co., in his charge as prisoner. The lat
ter was taken Immediately to the county
Jail where he is now thinking over the
oily of trying to go through this life
without being honest. The arrest was
made at Anadarko by Frank Farweil. one
of the shrewd men of the territory who
serves his country by championing the
majesty of the law. When the EAGLE
arrived at Anadarko Thursday morning
with the confessions Of Hancher, Greer
and Beck duplicating Doc Snap. Mr..
FarweIi remem bered seeing IA man answer

he started out to fad him. He overlook
him just as he was leaving the agency 10

and Fort Sill, where squaw man relative
of his lived. He arrested him at once ard
telegraphed here whether he was wanted.
The reply didn't reach him very promptly,
but he held him anyway. Snap, 1t appears,
was reader of the EAGLE also, and that
is what caused him to be leaving Auadarko
in such hurry when Frank Farwell ar
rested him.

ALL HALLOWS NOTES

Recently the painter. the decorator, the
uphoisterer aud the artist have been at
work in All Hallows academy, and the
place is now, in truth, thing of beauty.
Every room In the building has been visit
ed, and every article OF furniture renovated
and made cleaner than the traditional
new pin. The class room has been made
white with the scrub brush, and the walls
handsomely touched of with the paint
brush. The reception room Is gorgeous III
It's new dress. The woodwork has been
handsomely grained; the walls have been
hung with rare works OF art; every wiz
dow has been supplied with Beautiful lace
curtains; the floor is covered with beau
tiful Brussels carpet that one hesitates TO
tread upon; the furniture has been newly
upholstered in delicate colors, and
the fine harp even has been fur
nished with highly Ornamented
new dress with gold shamrocks worked in
u green baize covering. The sisters have
no5 been idle during the vacation and the
incoming pupils will be astonished ut the
grand Improvements made.
The academy will open on September 4th
and so far us attendance goes will beat all
previous records The sisters thought
that owing to the prevailing stringency
the attendance would not be SO good. but
they were mistaken for the enrolment

for Chicago having served her full term
of six years here. Six years is the limit IN
that position and then what is known AS
a three years vacation follows. No lady
has left Wichita for u long time Whose de-
parture will be more sincerely regretted
by all who have come within the radius
of her gentle, LOVING and DiOus influence.
Nobody has ever entered the portals of All
Hallows academy who was not deeply
impressed with the sunshine Of her life.
No one went there either indifferent to
or prejudiced against the religion of that
church but what left converted to respect
for it at least and all through the influence
of Sister Veronica. She was the pioneer
of the sisterhood in Wichita and it was she
who commenced the first parochial
school in Wichita in the basement of the
pro cathedral. before the present and
highly prosperous academy was thought
of. Sister Mary Albsrtna, a lady of rare
calture and very generous natural endOw-

How an Oil Baron Wanted to Settle for
Killing French Waiter.
1t was in the days when oil was first
struck in Pennsylvania that one lucky
poSsessor of some valua bic land had
sold it at an excellent bargain. He
had long had a desire to visit Europe
and as his present means enabled him
to crafty his wish, it was not long be-
fore he was on one of the ocean liners
blowing his way to the old world.
He did England and Ireland in first
class style, acquiring fund of expert

others that was, certainly valuable, if
only for what it cost him to acquire it
Learning what he did at the price
among those who spoke his own Ian
guage, it made him in measure
curious to see how the counter
parts of these gentry would treat
him in sunny France and Italy.
The few inquiries he made did
not reassure him that Gallo
or Italian hosts were any less
frugal or exacting than those of the
British kingdom. so that he not unnat-
urally judged from pass experiences
that SO much of his time as was not en-
ployed in sleeping would be chiefly oc-
cupied in opening his pocket-book and
making payments or donations more or
less just to almost everyone he was
brought in contact with.
Whether he was right or wrong in
thus assuming that everything went, 50
long as il was paid for. he could not
possibly decide for some time. The
theory that it was all right had carried
him through Paris and other of the
principal cities. after visiting which he
had come to Marseilles. Here his eyes
were delighted with reading the
legends on a rather poor-looking hotel
that English was spoken there. Enter
ing, he found that statement only
partly verified. as knowledge of that
speech was confined to the proprietor.
Still, as he had made out hitherto,
this was nothing Of shock. although
he soon found the petty extortions
practised upon him were The slight
