INSTITUTE NOTES.

Yesterday seemed to be day of much
interest at the normal.
In mental arithmetic, all took great in
terest in the Metric system.
Professor Scott conducted class in
arithmetic al o'clock.
Professor Hall talked to the teachers a
few minutes after chapel and was loudly
ton with force, ana stated that matter
without force amounts to very little, and
brought the argument up in connection
with mental development.
The recitation in psychology was made
very interesting by the discussion of
the subjects Of memory and rea-
son. Professor Hill asked this
question, rs the memory strengthened by
searching for something that we cannot
find?" The affirmative decision was
given.
In civil government much interest was
also manifested. The subject was chat OF
the election of president and vice presi-
dent, the question being asked if it is not
contrary to true American principles to
elect these officers by electors. For fear
of politics being mixed up with the recita-
ton the question was not very largely dis
cussed.
Among the visitors were Professor Grit
fin, Misses Della Bows, Bertha Herman,
Marshie Scott and Ida Auchmoody.
Rev. Hall will lecture to the teachers
this evening at the court house.

Up yesterday, and through the courtesy of
Mr.. J. II. Lyon, the travelling passenger
agent of the Missouri Pacific, the train
was held until z o'clock TO give all a
chance to remain as long as possible.
Ansattempt was made to agree upon
rates to indianapolis to the national en-
campment, but up TO late hour nothing
had been accomplished.
Garfield post had 40 men in line.
Mrs. Lucy r. Jones department. presi-
dent of the Woman's Relief corps was
present at the reunion.
Mrs. Elmer Il Dalton, department presi-
dent of the Ladies of the G. A. r., attended
the reunion.
The relief corps and G. A. r. circle both
had headquarters established on the
grounds.
The crowd was variously estimated at
from 1900 10 5000.
When one speaker rose to speak, he
asked ii Hoke Smith was in the audience.
Hoke was more talked about tnaa any
other one man. but never spoken OF in
terms of praise.

THE FREIGHT RATE CASE.

Wichita's case before the state board of
railway commissioners has been argued
and submitted and Mr.. Douglass and City
Attorney Wyatt are at home. The rail
roads were all represented by able counsel
who in their arguments and talks On the
side were inclined to hold each other
responsible for some of the fragrant and
unjustifable Determinations made and
maintained against tnis city. Mr.. Doug
lass opened his argument with quotation
from the president of the Santa Fe as to
the condition and favorable earnings of the
road to shut off any poverty
pleas and then jumped into that dead line,
the Missouri river, west of which no COM
munity has any rights which traffic
manager is bound to respect. So far as
rate schedules are concerned, the Trans
missouri might not only be foreign
country, but an enemy to railroads and to
commerce.
A man to do business, or to raise grain,
live stock or fruit at ii profit, is virtually
bid, by the most forcible power, to locate
on the Missouri river or east of the dead
line, or otherwise leave all hope behind.
A decision is expected from the board in
the course of week or two.

Cap.ursd with The BODY.

Mr.. Jones, an empluye in the Wichita
and Western round house, caught man
coming ont of MS home OF South Four.h
avenue yesterday about noon and upon
investigation found that everything in the
house had been turned upside down and a
fine gold watch and chain and several
other articles taken. Mr.. Jones lmmedl-
ately gave chase and finally cornered the
thief in an old cut building IN the extreme
south part Of town. Officer Davis was
called who arrested the man and took him
TO the station.
Chief Gone questioned him closely and
tangled him up, convincing everyone pres
ent that he had stolen the articles. ID spite
of the fellows protest OF his Innocence.
Officer Davis and Mr.. Jones were sent out
TO search for the watch, which could not
be found on the prisoner, and The calef
soon drew a full confession from him.
He said he had hid the watch IN II pile
of papers in the outhouse where he Was
captured, and it was soon found all right,
but nothing has been seen OF the other
missing articles.
In searching the prisoner the officers
found lady's gold watch and some other
somewhere, but IS yet 20 claim has been
made for them He was locked up and a
double charge. house breaking and larceny,
will be entered against him by the state
today, and he will very likely be sent over
the road, as the watch alone Is valued at
SIS
The prisoner was Immediately recog-
nizsd by Chief Cone as George Walker, an
old-timer W ho was arrested by him over
four years ago, while constable, for steal
ing a ring and a revolver and 1t
has been only about year since
his three years sentence in the state peni-
Tertiary for that offence expired. Walker
has wife and child and is neighbor of
Mr.. Jones, whose family is now away on
a visit, which accounts for he house being
LETT alone during the day. Had it not
been for the prompt action of all the men
interested in the case and the fortunate
time of the appearance of Mr.. Jones iU is
probable that the watch would not have
been recovered, to say nothing OF the rob-
ber's capture,

FAIR NOTES.

The readers of the EAGLE cannot al at
tend the worlds fair but they can do the
next best thing. which is the Wichita fair.
Every indication points to the best fair
ever held in southern Kansas. The man
ayers are receiving encouraging words
from all parts of the coautry and it is pre-
dicteG that the very liberal premiums
offered. the reduced rates on railroads,
aud the courteous treatment which the
public may expect, will attract more
people to Wichita than any previous fair.
Work is progressing quite rapidly on the
improvements Of the grounds and the
building of new stalls will commence in
short time.
The iair will open with every dollar of
Indebtedness against it paid in full. iu-
Guiding the rent of the fair grounds. aud
with money enough on hands to pay every
premium that viii he awarded. These
statements are made to assure the public
that there need be no hesitation about
making exhibits for fear the awards will
not be paid.

showed a fraction above thirty-four, but
