JOE HOWARD'S TROUSERS.
He Wanted Them Pressed and Nearly
Missed a Lecture.

Chicago Times.
Joe Howard Jr. lost a few more hairs
from his head last night during the pro-
cess OF worrying over the whereabouts
of pair of trousers. It is told of the vet
eran newspaper man, who hurried here
from New York to make a speech las:
night in the congress, that he brought
only one pair of trousers with him, these
necessary and sometimes uncomfortable
garments coming to the city in their proper
place. Now, Joe owns dress suit, and he
had arranged to appear in the congress
meeting arrayed in this apparel SO yes
terday afternoon. when he found out that
some aristOcratic travellers in special cars
had delayed his trunk in which was the
dress suit, Mr.. Howard reached con-
cluslon 10 the effect that he would either
wear his ordinary trousers at the meeting
or else go not at all.
At o'clock Joe Howard Jr. conceived
brilliant idea. He would go to bed for a
time and nave his trousers pressed and
cleaned So a bellboy was sent out to a
cleansing and pressing emporium with the
10urn aliStic trousers. The shades of even
ing fell. and Mr.. Howard wondered when
his blturcated garment would be returned
to him. He called for the bellboy who had
been commission ed, and to his dismay was
Informed that the youngster had gone
home. Mr.. Howard tried TO lear his hair
at this luDcture, bu. as-well. he's sensi-
tive on this point. Accordingly, he said
harsh things about trousers, bellboys and
himself. But his incarnation didn't pro-
duce the trousers.
lie had his dinner brought to his room
and sent another boy on search for the
trousers. This chap came back with the
information that the only place near the
Motel where these garments were artist
catiy squeezed had closed for the night.
Mi. Howard thought the matter over. He
wondered what kind of an excuse he would
write to the newspaper men, who would
soon be waiting to hear his speech. and
hnally he believed that he would tell them
the truth about his missing trousers. He
started on the letter. and just as he had de-
cided to whom he wonld address il porter
brought the missing trunk to The ROOM
Joe Howard's remaining hair was saved
and the newspaper men who heard his
speech did not know how close they CAME
TO appointment.

AGRICULTURAL Elk
HIBIT.
NEVADA'S

" AiiiSt'''
teresting description of Nevada's ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair from which
we take the following, relative to the
agricultural and chemical exhibit:
Here is a striking. anomaly that
forces itself upon the attention of the
millions at the Worlds Fair: No State
in the Union has been more belittled
and abused than Nevada-no State in
the Union makes a more complete or
credltable exhibit OF the farm, of the
mine and of the natural
than this same Nevada.
This anomaly staggers II good many
people who have have been taught to
believe that Nevada has no possible
future and that it is utterly devoid Of
the elements which fit Il community
for Statehood. The truth is that if half
"a million people were shut VI in New
ada tomorrow, the first morning of
the twentieth century would see there
a grea: State. 1t would be great not
merely in one line of production
but in many. 1t would have a wide
spread and diversified agricultural
industry, more profitable han in
most other parts Of the world. II
would have a thriving mining indus
try, by no means limited TO n class
Of production. 1t would support u
score of manufacturing industries
working upon raw materials taken
from its mountains and farms.
1t would have many new lines of
railroads and many large towns. The
exhibit at the Worlds Fair gives the
lie to the assertion that Nevada is tit
only for a cattle range and a mining
camp. 1t proves beyond all question
that this State of the Sierras is capable
of supporting large population, OF
developing u well-rounded aud pros
porous industrial life, and of adding II
new and splendid territory to the do
main of civilization.
The Worlds is Fair not merely a
celebration, but an education. And
every American citizen who is made
of the right stuff has studied the ex-
hibits of the several States of arid
America and been literally educated
to the important fact that these COM
monwealths are rich in all the mat
erals of industrial life. They have
learned why adventurous and enter
prising spirits leave the welltrodden
paths of the older States and seek
virgin fields in the West. They have
begun to discern the large proportions
of the developments which have been
reserved for the western half of the
continent and the second century in
the history of the republic. And right
here lies the importance of Nevada's
exhibit. 1t is ~ revelation of the pos
sibilities of States that have been mis-
represented until they seem almost
disreputable. Against the dark back
ground of Nevada's reputation stands
the bright picture of her achievement,
or more truly OF her capacity for
future achievement. 1t is highly inn
portant that the utmost advantage be
taken of this opportunity to bring
Nevada to the front that it may here
after be better understood by investors,
home-seekers and our countrymen at
large. This duty falls fifty to the IT.
rigation Age, whose impartial love ex-
tends to all the States under the wide
arch of our western sky.

A RUNAWAY GIRL.

A farmer named Saunders from the
vicinity OF Udall, Cywley county, was in
the city yesterday and the poor old fellow
was in the most distressed condition of
mind He is nearly seventy years old and
has lived in Cowley county over eighteen
years. The cause of all his trouble was
runaway daughter, aud the only child
left him. He had letter from the officers
of Cowley county to the officers here who
did all in their power 10 find his daughter
for him. She left home Wednesday after
noon to visit a neighbor and failing TO re-
turn at night he went after her only to
find that she had not been there. He also
found upon returning home that she had
robbed him OF $50 which he had
left from the sale of some hogs at Win
field the previous Saturday. He told his
story to an EAGLE reporter at the court
house yesterday and as he did so tears
filed the eyes of the poor old fellow.
Eva" said he, was a wild girl, but
did not think she would ever rob
her father of his hard earnings
and then leave for parts unknown. Until
about six months ago she manifested no
signs of discomfort upon the farm, but
from that time until she left she had
always been trying TO get my consent to
90 TO n business college so that she could
live a city life. / would have sent her but
her mother was delicate and we could not
spare her from the housework. About
three weeks ago sewing ma
chine agent from Wichita stopped
at our house over night and he became
very friendly with Eva, and as l after
ward heard he filed her head full of non
sense about city life and the theaters and
all that sort Of thing. I heard also that be
wrote her few letters, but ! could never
find out whether he did or not. I thought
when I found her gone that
he might have induced her to
come up here. but met him today and be
satisfied me that lie did not. She has an
aunt AT Nickerson aud if can't find her
there I don't know what TO do
From his description Of her she IS about
5 feet inches high, dark hair and eyes, a
slightly perceptibls scar on her chin and
AT the time OF her departure wore 4 black
dress, q light colored CLOAK and
blue sailor hat with plaid ribbon
around it. She had 10 tCunk, but Ne
found upon examination that she took the
most OF her clothes with Der, bat how. we
do not know as she had nothing with her
when she left the house.

A GENERAL CLEANING OUT.

The new police administration is begin
ming A general cleaning out of the city,
and the population will be diminished 10
some extent within the next month. The
idea is TO make the city uncomfortable for
loafers and to make dead beats rustic for
their own living instead of bsing depend
ent for support on the balance of the com
munity, and especially upon certain
class.
Another new deal to be inaugurated will
concern certain class of women upon
whom the eyes OF the police are
fixed with that steady gaze which charac-
terizes the hawk having in contemplation
the anihilation of a flock Of chickens. The
police are accumulatiDg evidence along
this line and the day is not far distant
when the women that galayant around
the streets at night will wish they were
never born. By April l the revenue of the
police court will have increased $500 or
$1,000 a month or else the population will
have decreased a hundred or two. If
the police do what they say they are going
to do some lively times may be expected.

HORSE THIEVES AGAIN.

1t is not petty thieving alone that wor
ries the officers of the law, but some of
the wroug-doers are looking for larger
game than an overcast, a set of harness or
even a hog occasionally, and Thursday
night succeeded in stealing two valuable
horses from a farmer named Johnson,
living about three miles west of Peck. He
was in the city and made the rounds Of
the livery barns and horse markets, al
though he said he did not have much hope
of finding them here as be was of the
opinion they had been headed for
the territory. He sain it was the opinion
of the farmers in his neighborhood that
there was regularly organized band Of
thieves in the territory just south Of the
Kansas line and that he attributed TO
them the many thefts of horses, cattle and
hogs that have occurred recently in that
neighhorhoOd. He was not at all back
ward in telling what kind Of punishment
would be meted out to the thieves by the
farmers in case they should succeed in
capturing them. The lock was brok-
en- off his stable door and
the horses taken at an early hour il the
morning, as his son was out to a party and
olAA uOG SGG LOiIlC until nltCA ~, db
which time everything was ali right at the
barn. He was able to track them to tie
highway. aud no farther A new saddle
that his son had recently purchased was
also taken. The horses are both bright
bays about II hands high, years old and
well matched except that one has white
star in its forehead. He returned home
last night saying he would look no farther
in this direction as he was satisfied they
had been taken TO the territory.
