we viii cause
great reductions to be
made In the price of
all kinds of Dry Goods
until further notice.
Our store will rcsem-
BILE something like the
sale we made during
the great closing out of
the vossen Brothers
bankrupt stock, which
90 many will doubtless
remember when we
were obliged to close
our doors and not per-
NIT another customer
to enter until a portion
of the immense throng
had departed for their
homes. taking with
them upwards of s35. 900
in prizes.
At this time you have
the opportunity of
choosing from a stock
which for its vastness
has never been equaled
. by anythingin this city.
Four floors, nearly
three hundred feet in
depth, filled to over
flowing with mcrchan-
disc makes our store
for this occasion moro
than ever attractive.
Our Dress Goods and
our Silk Department
will be made great
special features. Our
Cloak Department on
first floor, as we'll as a
large space devoted to
this part of our bust
ness IN the basement
rear end, will call large
crowds of customers
who may be in want of
a winter garment.
During this sale we
trust each and every
customer will exercise
as much patience as
possible in order that
we may serve all with
perfect satisfaction
Very Respectfully.

A FINE BANQUET.

Last night the Modern Woodmen o!
America gave reception and banquet 10
their friends, at their lodge room in the
Martinson block on the West Side. There
are two camps of the order in this city and
they have grown so rapidly. so quietly and
so strongly, that they conceived the idea
Of joining forces and inviting their friends
TO partake OF their hospitality. The en-
tertdinment last night was the result OF
this conception. Shaws orchestra furnish
ed the music and Messrs. X. h. Lawrence
and Rudolph Hatfield made timely re-
marks on the aim aad objects of the order
After the speeches were over the company
were invited TO a very dainty repast. This
was followed by social chat. dancing cards,
etc. The order Is in a very iiourisAing con-
dition in this city and numbers among its
members some Of the best citizens.

THE SPOiLS.

The result of the Demo-Pop caucus or
conference Saturday is by no means salts
factory to either the Democrats or the
Populists. \ committee OF nine from
each side met to divide the spoils accord
ing TO the plan of fusion previously ar
ranged IL the division the Democrats
were given the offices of sheriff, register of
deeds aud county surveyor and tie Popu-
lists the balance of the spoils. The Popu-
lists are not satisfied because this knocks
Rufe Cone out for sheriff. and the Demo-
Gratis are not satisfied because the
deal knocks out their pet candidate Harry
Stewart for county clerk. Mr.. John
ston OF the Sixth ward has been the lead
ing and, it might be said, the only candi-
date for sheriff ND till the time this deal
was contaminated. but now that the Office
is certainly accorded 20 the Democrats
they are inclined TO put Johnston Oh the
shelf and take uD Charlie Mos5scker. 1t
j. also said that Harry Stewart has sud
denly changed his am bi;ion to be clerk,
and IS making a strong pull TO get the
nomination for register, but it IS gener-
ally conceded that he is too iata.
There : some fun ahead.

a TERRIBLE CRIME.
some VI : reaat Makes Bold ait mp. to
Poison til. Fsmily OF J. ". Gre n

One Of the most cowaFdlv murders in
the criminal annals of Wichita was at
tempted yesterday. but happily the result
was not so fatal as anticipated by the
party who planned the crime
J. ". Green lives with his family at the
corner Of Fifteenth street and Fourth
avenue Yes; erday he went to work and
his wife and child went visiting During
their absence sor:e one gained admission
through an open window and placed
rough on rats in the coffee pot. IN u sack
Of corn meal liz the flour, in bottle OF
pickles and probably IN everything about
the house that they were expected TO use.
Green was the first to arrive home and
be found tracks leading 10 the open win
dow through vegetable bed. He eX-
amined them closely and found them -
be the footprints OF woman. Soon
afterwards his wife arrived and found
about n dozen OF her chickens dead She
began making investigations and found
an empty box labelled "kough on Rats, "
on the table Soon afterwards she
found little fruit dish III
which the poison had been mixed
They then followed up the Investigations
and found poison IN the meal sack, the
-four sack and in the pickles. While
making coffee she noticed a peculiar scum
floating on the boiling beverage and ex-
animation showed this 20 be rough on
rats.
They have no idea who the party can be
that attempted their lives and they axe
naturally very much alarmed over TIE
matter as they have no enemies to their
knowledge. Everything in the 1ine of
eatables have been thrown away and au
entirely new stock purchased. Wholesale
murder was evidently contemplated
Diligenu inquiry has been made concern
ing the identity of the party but as yet 10
clue has been ascertailed. The entire
neighborhood is excited and the miscreant

4 PATRIOTIC SERMON.

The sermon delivered by Rev. Don s
Colt, on Sabbath morning, at the first NJ.

city, was animated by the heroic spirit Of
the Fathers.
Long before the arrival of the post, un-
der command of Judge Campbell, three
hundred strong, and for whom seats had
been reserved, large numbers went away
unable to obtain seats. -Ante-rooms, yes
tibules, aisles and gallery were packed
with people.
The speaker. who is an admirer Of great
heroes. whether in the uniform OF the
patriotic private, or the epaulets Of the
commanding general. spoke tor an hour
The occasion was made to ring with the
music of battle hymns and the tramp of
armies. Scared veterans, with tears
streaming down their sunburned cheeks.
forgetting the time and place, three
several times, it i reported, broke
forth in cheers. These who had
heard tie man before il his enthusiastic
and earnest allusious to the war and lis
results were not only not disappointed
but more than pleased. \ general eX-
preston has reached Us from the members
OF the post desiring the reproduction OF
the sermon in these columns. The dis
course was not written cat. and # it
would not be asking TOO nuch OF Mr. Colt
TO commit iJ TO paper we doubt K tle
words iu cold print would prove as satis-
factory Is the memory of them falling in

action. for We can well imagine that there

TOOK AN OVERDOSE.
Eugene Calhoun Waited For Death al Nigh
But GaAo II Up AT Last.

Like the prodgal son Engene Calhoun
returned TO the parental roof at 8 O clock
Sunday morning after awaiting for death,
in vain, all the previous night. The story
of his attempted suicide as told in this
paper Sunday morning was substantially
correct. When he purchased the twelve
morphine pills at o'clock Saturday even
ing he went west on Second street till he
arrived at the bridge and selected the
old boat house that is stuck in
the sand near the bridge for the
scene of his attempted suicide. He took
all the pills fully determined to end his
life, but the dose was too much and it had
not the desired effect. After taking the
pills he settled himself down to die but ne
soon began to vomit and the vomiting
continued all night. During the night it
turned very cold and he took the dog that
accompanied him in his arms to keep him
warm. He heard the the court house
clock strike every hour during the night
and while he did not so to sleep yet he
was affected wish a drowsiness that he
could not shake off and that still affects
him. At o'clock in the morning lie lost
all hopes OF dying and returned home call
ing at the residence of the boy who was
with him when he bought the poison.
As stated III the EAGLE the reason as
signed for his suicidal attempt was his
failure 10 pass examination. There are
many reports iu circulation stating that
he has been treated very unfairly by his
teacher, and that he was competent to pass
the examination that worried him so
much. These reports, if true, are very
serious and quite number of people
think they ought to be Investigated. If
they are true, they reason that they ought
to be known by the taxpayers and patrons
of the school and il they are not true they
ought to be investigated for the benefit of
the teacher who is at present the target OF
some very severe criticism.
Allegations are made that are very dis
creditable to the school teacher aud that
will do her lasting injury in this COM
munity, as well as bring the schools into
disrepute, unless they are successfully
proven false.
