A MAD DOG.

Ike Dean of Waco. was in the city yester-
day and he was excited and hot. The
cause OF it all was mad dog that visited
his place frothing at the mouth and biting
at everything that be came near. The dog
belonged to a neighbor and came TO the
house so frequently that Mr.. Deans little
girl fondled him as she would pet.
Luckily, however, the little girl was not
out doors yesterday when he arrived and
if she had been she would have been bitten
When Mr.. Dean saw the dog he knew it
was mad and he took immediate steps TO
protect himself. He called the hands who
came forward with their guns and.a!though
they shot the dog twice be kept running
around and biting at the cattle,
etc. The dog finally went under house,
and they tried to get him out with pitch
forks, but be fought them With the
vicousness of rattlesuake. They finally
succeeded in killing him without, his hav-
ing done any damage.
This was the fifth mad dog tha. has
been killed In that section OF the country
during the past few months Er. Dean
gave it out cold yesterday that he pro-
poses killing every dog that comes on his
place, no matter 70 whom they belong or
what their condition may be. Re is going
TO take no chances, as he wouldn't have

IRISH BOUND OVER.

Those Demo-Pops VINO were making so
much noise few days ago about the par
tisanship of the five jurors who, after
hearing the evidence at the inquest re-
turned verdict holding Irish responsible
for the killing OF Wesley Spidle, were
very tame aud quiet last night. They
sought irst to make political capital out
of the matter and the way they abused
the five jurors in question is shameful
They knew" that if there was no Repub-
lican partisan on that jury that Irish
would be held irresponsible. Now then,
Mr.. Redfieid is the candidate of the Demo
Pops for the Office of justice and they
were very anxious for him to pass on the
case of Irish, expecting of course, that he
would not hold him responsible and that
they would be given fine opportunity to
blow more about the partisanship of the
five Jurors. The case was concluded in
Mr.. Redheld's court yesterday and to the
great chagrin of the DemoPops Mr.. Red
field did not exonerate Mr.. Irish, but
bound him over for trial during the next
term of the district court. Thus it is that
their own candidate for office in his de-
cision sustained the action OF the five
jurors whom the loud mouthed ward
heelers and their mouthpiece would have
the decent people of the city believe rem
dered verdict for partisan political ends.
The decision of Justice Redfield Knocked
teeir claims into cooked hat and left
them without a leg to stand on.
Willard Boone, county attorney, handled
the case very satisfactorily and made a
very strong argument to prove that the
shooting of Spidle by Irish could not be
accidental He spoke for an hour
in closing and illustrated the
tragedy in very fine shape Mr..
Boone was hot over something.-pro
somebody wanted to turn the thumb screw
of politics on him-and grew SO eloquent
at times in his portrayal of the manner
and nature of the crime that the audience
could not be prevented from applauding
his remarks. He also conducted the cross
examination so we'll that Scully the chief
witness for the police department broke
down and made his evidence so ridiculous
that it was more against Irish than for
him in view of his former evidence

twentieth year, was born in Wichita and
for the most part educated here. She is
her fathers pride and pet. She leaves one
of the most luxurious homes, a home of
beautiful appointments and decorations

found in the state, only to take hold of the
harder facts of life. She will open

one who has all her life had at her COM

beautiful girl in her border-town store
becomes at least q pathetic one The

ADJUSTMENTS.
A NOVELTY.


"a Model Husband is something new
and should excite interest IN all who are
striving for the advancement of the human
race. 1t is a consolation to curiosity seek
ers, who have vainly searched the pages OF
history back to the creation for q model
man, to know that one has at last been
found. Even Adam, our forefather, was
not model. He had weaknesses and Was
not honest enough to acknowledge them.
He ate the forbidden fruit and then cow
ardly laid the blame on Eve, claiming that
she tempted him. What u brute! And for
six thousand years Adams descendants
have followed his example OF blaming
woman for all their sins. Here, then, Is a
novelty!
Benjamin Baseom, model husband.
goes astray He falls in love with a
charming young widow. who unwillingly
facinates him. and he flirts. How many
husbands have done likewise, yet how few
act as honestly as does Bascom, who
when caught and confronted with his
wickedness, boldly declares, like an ideal
man, that he and he alone is to blame
Everybody should see him, for he is
funny. His wife is funny. The son is
funny. The widow is funny. The Sweet
sixteen" is funny, The nephew is funny.
And the old maid is very, very funny. "A
Model Husband" is model play. 1t will

to the EAGLE late last night:

THE CLAIM WAS PAID.

j. j. Parks perpetrated a joke on the
Missouri Pacific officials few days ago
that made them open their ewes in wonder.
Some time ago track walker on the
Missouri Pacific named Barnes was killed
by switch engine. I here was some SIS
coming to him for his work and before the
widow could get the money she had either
TO give an indemnifying bond or take out
letters of administration IL the probate
court. She was too poor and unknown to
give the bond and Mr.. Parks was applied
10 to tx the marter IN the probate court.
Instead of doing that, however, he made
out bond for double the amount and got
it signed by NJ. w. Levy. president of the
Wichita National bank, L. d. Skinner
cashier of the State National bank, John
Derst, cashier of the Citizens National
bank, w. S. Corbett, president OF the
Kansas National bank and l.. 5. Naftsger
president OF the Fourth National bank.
They qualified before a notary pubic for
500, 600 and SIr. Parks took the document
and placed it on the desk Of the Missouri
Pacific officials who had charge of the
matter. He promptly paid the widows
claim.

THE HORSE SALE.
But Few Buyers and Not Many Animals Sol.

| Yesterday was the second and last day
| of the combined breeders sale of trotting
stock and only part of the remaining
numbers in the catalogue were disposed
of, the buyers evidently finding stock
offered that was of higher grade than they
expected to find or, at least, ranging
around prices that were higher than they
had made up their minds to pay, although
what did sell sold at remarkably low
prices, considering the quality.
If the owners did not succeed in selling
all their stock at this, sheir first annual
sale, they have convinced visiting buyers
that Wichita is rapidly becoming a center
for the breeding of fine stock and in
the future when they want a good horse
they will never think of purchasing with
out looking to this locality.
The sale was ably conducted, and both
consignors aud buyers are we'll pleased
with the treatment they received while
here.

A SPRING SHOWER,

For several hours yesterday evening
black, threatening clouds HING over the
city, frequently Illuminated by sharp
flashes of lightning and about s o'clock
rain began to fall 1t poured down almost
necessarily until after II o'clock. A
large quantity of water fell and while it
was welcome to the residents of the city in
laying the dust that had been
blowing for several days, it was
doubly SO to the farmer, as the ground
was becoming very dry at time when the
great acreage of wheat about here needs
rain. The oats are about all sowed, pota-
toes planted and the gardens made so the
rain last night, which was warni as A sum-
mer shower. will start all these to grow

pastures will be started along and plow-
ing made much easier.

LECTURE on MAsoNRY.

Rev. S. e. Busser, past grand chaplain
OF the Masonic Grand Lodge of Kansas
gave lecture on "Freemasonry" at the
First Presbyterian church last night.
About 900 tickets were issued, but owing
to the threatening weather all those invit-
ed did not attend. Mr.. Busser is a very
well equipped speaker and his subject was
full of interest to Masons and to those
who are lovers of biblical history, He ex-
planned the objects of the order in a very
earnest and impressive manner. l. G.
Whittier presided, l.. W. Bicknell prayed
and j. IL Mccall introduced the speaker
A number of prominent citizens occupied
seats on the restrain
