AT The KEL.OGG SCHOOL.

Last Friday afternoon the pupils OF
Kellogg school gave their phonetic spell
ing entertainment. The object was to eX-
plain the righteousness of our present il
logical spelling and to show the benefit to
be derived from phonetic system of SPELL
ing. Although part OF the program was
didacticsl, the whole was so well spiced
with witty thrusts at our present system
of spelling that all felt highly entertained
as we'll as instructed.
The decorations of the room were taste
fully arranged Upon the walls were ex-
animation papers, historic illustrated
maps and bound compositions, all of
which showed much skill in preparation.
In one corner of the room was the princi-
pats bookcase, containing a large cyclic
pedia, other valuable reference books and
magazines, to which the pupils have free
access. profusIon of flowers added
much to the general attractiveness.
As seventy-five invitations had been IS
sued to the friends aud patrons of the
school, large audience was expected, In
this no one was disappointed Each seat
held twice its intended number, the aiSles
were filed with chairs aud even then the
room was LOuul IOO s1lldlA ~ AUNT bAuSO

SOME REMARKABLE TESTS.
Dr.. Flirt S,neI de, III Frs Week OF
Il tpno;ir Exp rinIents.

Several hundred people Alternately held
their breath. applauliea and laughed over
the hypnotic experiments OF DE- Flint at
the opera house last night. IL was tie
culm! IN alton of week OF really remaraa-
BILE performances, and the enthusiasm was
an indication of the rapidly growing inter
est in tie doctors clever work. Several
subjects who tad baen on the stage in the
early part OF the week we're on hand, and
the bypnotiz.r had no difficulty IN pIacing
them under his influence Severa. who
exhibited some stnb5ovnness III the early
part Of The evening hecatns notably goo
subjects after the doctor hal got them
thoroughly under coasIol.
The demoustrator' experiments in hyp-
motto suggestion were not only intensely
amusing bus also evidenced wide knowl-
edge of human nature. AZ the Doctors
suggestion subjects close their eyes and
endeavores. IN vain to open them; walked
with stiff joints: suffered the excruciating
sgolies of toothache; felt electric shocks
in their limbs: revel-d in an iuglorious
condition Of inebcleJy Oh aqut purt, aai
made themselves generally ridiculous on
slight provocation The facial expressions
o; the subj Gets, both during the expert
meuts and when the doctor suddenly
brought them back TO a sense of their con
ditiou, were laughable in the extreme, and
kept the audience IN constant roar OF
laug liter.
Que of the most remarkable features Of
the performance WAS mimic voyage in
balloon, in which the doctor, his
daughter. a slight, pretty little Miss, AMI

ticipated. The subjects were made 20 be-
lieye that they were sitting in the basket
OF a balloon, aud the varied experiences
incident &c such trip were wildly por-
trayed by the unconscious actors by the
marvellous Suggestive powers OF the
demonstration.
The final experiment OF the evening. in
which stone weighing several hundred
pounds WAS broken on the body OF Miss
Flint while extended in eataleptic state
from the backs OF two chairs. was a con-
plete quietus TO the skeptic. The stone
was placed on the young lady's body by
well known Wichita men, and the sledze
WAS successfully swung By locIl nan
after one candidate for edge-hammer
honors had failed. As the great stone fell
shattered in a dozen pieces, the audience
cheered; the little subject was tenterly
raised AMI when, through the manipuia-
tons of the doctor she opent. her eyes
and looked around at the broken bits of
stone with childlike simplicity and cur
iosity, the picture WAS pretty enough TO
send the applause sweeping through tue

MR.. FRANK SMITHS AFFLICTIoN.

As is known 10 most of the people of our
city. Mr.. Frank Smith. the senior OF the
Beacon, has been ailing for some time
past. being confined TO his home now for
several weeks. Last summer he was
thrown from buggy, receiving something
of Earring hurt, which, while not severe
in its effects, left disquieting influence
on his nervous system. A few days after,
while lie aud Mrs Smith were chaperou-
ing party of young folks on the Walnut
river. Mr.. Smith took plunge bath, the
sGdden shock of which aggravated or in
tensitied the nervous trouble caused by the
fall i'll the first Instance. The disturbance
for a long time was confined TO his left
side and was not unlike au attack of pleu-
risy in it's symptoms. Litter, after
consulting seine Of our local pbysi-
clans, lie went to Chicago, where
he placed himself under treatment of Dr..
Lyman the specialist in nervous affections
aud disorders, and under whose eatm-nt,
for the mist part, he has remained ever
since in connection with the direct super
vision of Dr. McAdams 1t occurred to
some OF Mr.. Smiths friends TO invite DR.
Flint, the messmerist. to make a friendly
call in hopes that he might diagnose, suy-
gest or treat 70 some extent, the case. DR..
Flint was not only originally a regular
practitioner in the old school, but ne
comes of u race of physicians, his father
having been at the head of the Beliview
hospital and his grandfather likewise.
Yesterday afternoon III company with his
manager and couple of friends of Mr..
Smith the call was made. The pain is
now, and il has been for weeks, confined
10 the left arm and hand. It never ceases
and at times becomes circulating. The
most delicate touch is to the patient as
If 40 exposed nerve were probed. DR.. lint
seemed to comprehend or grasp the trou bic
at once and his most careful and delicate
touch al first SO very painful was soon
changed into VIGOROUS manipulation.
That Mr.. Smith has suffered intense
agonies, no one can doubt after looking
into his face but DR.. Flint spoke very
hopefully OF his case, assuring him, how
ever, that only By persistent aud contin-
uous treatment preferable, in his own
judgement, that Of massage, would lie tiGd
relief, and then not in day or week. still
permanent cure and soundness in the
end, being particular in his details as to
the character and experience of the oper-
ator. The doctors recommendations coin
cided with Mr.. Smiths own experimental
knowledge. 1t is unnecessary TO add. of
course. that Mr.. Smiths many friends
| hope TO see him soon again upon our
streets.

A very important case was that filed
yesterday in the district clerks office by
Stanley & Hume as attorneys for Amos
Nouck The case is entitled Amos Houck
VS. The estate OF Samuel Houck, d"caset,
and the claim involved amouats 20 Sl21 0o1.
In 1872 it appears "A partnership was
formed between Amos aud Samuel HOuck
under the firm name OF Holck Brothers.
IL has been the general opinion that the
partnership did not exist in recent years
but the plaintiff alleges that it was never
dissolved and existed up to the date of
Samuel Houck's death. In his life time
Samuel Houck acquired great amount of
property valued it Is said at a quarter OF 4
million dollars aud according to
the allegations Of Amos Houck all this
property was acquired for the firm, by the
firms money, and that half of it belongs
TO him as an equai partner il the firm.
This property includes money, merchan-
disc, accounts, bank stocks, teaements and
real estate. Mr.. HoIck left after him
over $40, 900 in cash, SIS 900 Of which was
found in his safe after his death. The al
ministratrix of the estate has set up no
answer yet and therefore her claims are
not known.
The case is very important one, and it
will be watched with interest by business
men and lawyers

RINGLINe BROS. SHOW.
] his Pepl'ar Big Circns TO Return 10 wichita
ON Nay 20.

The thousands OF people who saw Ring
lin. Brothers Worlds Greatest shows
during their exhibition in Wichita las. sea-
son will b. gratifed to leara that this
really remarkable circus menagerie and
hippodrone IS to revisit this city on Fri
day. May 70 The universal verlict last
year WAS that Tie Ringing Brothers gave
the best ail-round circus performance that
had ever been seen in Wichita. The per-
formers We're high-class aud numsxous,
the trained stock WAS unexcelIei, aud the
general management OF the shJw was such
as TO commend il TO the public.
Notwithstanding the vast proportions OF
the show last year. it has been
greatly enlarged for the resent
season, aud the Ringing Brothers
low undoubtedly have the largest iegiti-
mate circus in the world. They have COM
pletely Ignored the modern practice Of
sacrificing the circ1s performance for the
sake Of = much less easily so-cslIed spec
tacle, bus. Instead. crowd the program
with an almost incredible array Of high
class acts, any one OF which would be 4
crowning feature with an ordinary show
An idea OF the diversions of the show
this season can be gained from the fact
that it requires forty.fve cars. divided in
to three trains, 20 transport it. The en-
ployes number s00-oyer 250 more than
last year. The performers number one
hundred and fifty. The main canvas will
seat 1900 people. The menagerie has
been doubled. and among other new feat
ures is a giant graf, the only one now
owned by circus. It requires four ad-
vertising cars and advance brigade OF over
r hundred agents aud bill posters to
thoroughly cover the large territory which
is billed in order to draw the people 70
common centre. Nothing but high
salaried performers OF worldwide reputa-
ton are employed The show is run on
strictly business principles. No fakirs OF
any kind can come near the Ringing
Brothers exhibition. The farmer who
visits the show will have no fears Of being
fieecei. 1t Is gala day for them as well
as for those in the city. The parade that
ushers in circus day is said to be the
best ever seen on the streets OF any city.
1t is new, It IS bright, il is l0Eg ald it
costs nothing to see.

A CURIOUS EGG.

The EAGLE received a curiosity yester-
day. ia the shape Of an egg, from Mrs. b
L. Hi!liaId Of 80 South Main street. The
egg itself IS a common every day hen egg
and like every other egg except that on
the large end of it there appears as plain
as any ever made the letter A under which
there is a question mark complete with
the exec ptiOn OF the little dot usually
found under tue hooked Interrogation
mark Translated in our language il
means question. but what the hen
meant by it is another question. Whether
she proposes to lay the entire alphabet no
one knows, but she has certainly made Il
good start and her next egg is awaited for
with absorbing interest by the neighbors
of Mrs. billiard. IT De egg Is nowioG exhi6i
