OBITUARY..

Died, at the residence of II. 7. Craven,
in this city, at 10 O'Clock p. IN. on Satur-
day, May -, 1898, Mrs. Martha j. Duff, of
consumption.
Mrs. Duff came to Wichita little more
than a year ago from her home in Frank
lin county, Illinois, where she was born in
1874 She leaves but one child to mourn
her departure-M Minnie Duff, the very
efficient stenographer for the United Sash
and Door company.
Mrs. Duff united with the Baptist
church in early life, in which denOmina-
ton she has lived, a consistent member.
Although her stay in Wichita was COM
paratively short, it was sufficient for Mrs.
Duff TO draw to her many warm and true
friends, who were in almost constant at
tendance upon her, doing all in their
power to render her as comfortable as pos
sible. Her suffering was borne with great
patience and fortitude, and, in her own
words, her departure seemed TO be only
a step into the next world.
The funeral exercises were conducted
Monday evening by Rev. Winters of the
Presbyterian church, whose discourse was
full of such consolation as comes through
the power of belief in a future state OF
happiness for the faithful christian.
Miss Nellie Mcpherson, by request, sang
in her most impressive manner, Some
Sweet Day"
The beautiful casket, covered with rich,
black broad cloth, and Furnishings OF
silver nearly hid by floral emblems and
tributes, expressions of love by friends,
stood upon pedestals finished III the same
way, liz the center of the room. After the
services each of the many friends who had
assembled to pay the last tribute OF re-
spect to all that remained of their friend,
looked upon that sweet face, framed with
an abundance of silvery hair, and turning
away, were impressed with the thought OF
the discourse, oh! Death, Where Is Thy
Sting, Oh Grave, Where Is Thy Victory
Many OF the friends then followed the re-
mains to the station from which Miss
Duff started on the sad journey to her
childhood's home, taking with her all that
remains of what was once her mother.
Miss Minnie desires that her thanks be
expressed to all the friends and nelghbors
who have been so kind TO her mother and
herself.
Is it not sweet to think. hereafter,
When the spirit leaves this sphere,
Love with dcathleSS wings shall watt her,
To those she long hath mOurned for here!
Hearts from which twas death to sever,
Eyes this world can ne'er restore,
There as warm as bright ever,
Shall meet Us and be lost no more,
Alas. alas, doth hope deceive US?
Shall friendship -love-shail all those ties
| That bind a moment, and then leave Us,
BE found again where nothing dies
Oh if TO other boon we're given,
To keep our hearts from wrong and stain,
| Who would not try to win a heaven,
Where all we love shrll live again?

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Judge Reed decided an important ques-
ton of practice in an attachment proceed
ing, which will be Of interest to attorneys
and litigauts generally.
In the case of Koopman VS.. Catherwood.
the plaintiff brought an action 10 fore
close mortgage and in the same action
attempted to attach other property not
covered by the mortgage on the ground
that the defendant was non resident OF
the state of Kansas
On the 18th day of March the plaintiff
through his attorneys, Brooks & Colin,
fled his petition, and an affidavit Tor at
tachrnent alleging that the defendant was
was a non resident and that the mortgaged
property was insufficient to pay the debt
sued gu. On the same day an order OF at
tachment was issued and the property at
tached by the sheriff. At the time of issu-
ing tn. writ of attachment no
precipe for summons had been
filed and no summons had beed ISSUED,
and no affidavit for service by publication
was on file. On the next day, March 10,
the plaintiff filed an affidavit for service
on the defendant by publication. and sub
sequently service was regularly made IN
that way.
The defendant, through his attorneys,
Hatton & Helm, filed a motion to dis
charge the attachment on the ground that
at the time it was issued the action had
not been commenced, and for thar reason
the attachment was not lawfully issued.
A question exactly like this had
never been decided. Judge Reed
held that an attachment cannot Issue I'M
til the commencement of an action: that
an action is not commenced by simply
fling with the clerk a petition bond for
costs and an attachment affidavit. lie
decided that before an action can be held
to be commenced, "A precipe for summons
must be filed and a summons issued il
case the defendant is a resident OF the
state, or in case the defendant IS nom
resident, an affidavit for publication must
| be filed before the attachment can right
| fully issue.
The plaintiffs attorneys regard the ques'
tion as of so much Importance that they
will carry it to the supreme court.

A GHOST STORY.

Friday night, or, rather, yesterday
morning, Officer Nefl, night clerk at po'
lice headquarters, was scared out of at least
years growth. 1t was about l o'clock
in the morning when he was reclining on
his easy chair with his feet on the table
and contemplating earthly things as they
shot through his mind. All at once the
hairs on his head gradually began to raise
until each one of them stood on end, and
the strangest thing about it was that he
could see no reason for it, \
creepy feeling came over him,
as he turned around to see whether
there was anything around with
magnetic influence. At that very moment
a feminine form came out through the
door leading from the police court as
noiselessly as death itself and brushed by
him. She was dressed ia black, here face
was heavily yelled and nothing could he
seen to indicate whether she was white or
an African but her bare hand which she
used in holding Up the trail of her gown.
She said nothing but walked towards the
door and out into the corridor. BY this
time the officer had gathered his senses
and made up his mind that the woman
was nothing more nor less than a
prisoner escaping la jeff Davis.
He gathered up his revolver
and hastily followed her and when she
was directly under the arc lamp IN the
corridor he commanded her to halt. At
the sound of human voice the figure
melted away and vanished and nothing
remained on the spot where she stood but
a peculiar little whlrlwind twisting with
great rapidity towards the stairway lead
ing to the north entrance where 1t too
vanished The officer at once cultivated a
friendship for the y. d. I. boys down
stairs and invited them up 10 spend the
balance OF the night with him. Since the
messenger service boys heard the story
they are very much alarmed and at night
when they have occasion to go about the
City buildings they travel IN pairs and
armed TO the teeth. Officer Neff Is posi-
tive that he saw the figure and regards II
as the stran2est and most unaccountable
incident Of his life.

We editeY knows how pleasant surprises

dining room of Mrs Guest, to tIe beat OF
the drum. where we were confronted by n
large table we'll spread with all such
things that are pleasing 10 the appetite.
The bows all went to work like soldiers,
and we are sure cur fathers never worked
harder in that sort of battle. Besides so
many things too numerous to mention
there were pork and beans IN an mex
haustable supply.
There were fifty-seven who partook OF
the feasts. and partly in the words OF the
Scriutures. several basketsful renamed
after all were fed. The ladies received a
vote of thanks from the company, and we
surely owe Mrs Guest a debt of gratitude
for the liberal manner in which she treated
Us. Our company is in tlourishinE cen
dition: we mustered five new members the
last evening. that was also our inspection
night. and we received high rank. Sew

DECORATION DAY AT CoLwICH.

From the Reporter,
The exercises on Decoration Day were
well attended. The Grafton by Judge
J. 4 Shields was mastery, eloquent and
patriotic. He began by saying: Il come
today not as a Republican politician,
neither do | come as Democratic poll
ticiau; but do come, thank God, as free
born American citizen"
His opening sentence seemed to thrill
the audience and inspire the speaker, as
from that on the fiery words of eloquence
seemed 10 flow from patriotic heart,
heart that realized and felt even as soldiers
themselves realize ana feel the burdens,
the duties, the joys and griets OF HE lost
for a country Egained. Not only did the
orator nav a glowing tribute TO the sacred
dust of the many dead to the manned
and SCARED OF the honored living, but to
the great government which they fought
to perpetuate. No one could listen TO
such an Grafton without deeper, purer
aud stronger emotion, greater love to the
country and more fraternal feeling TO-
wards fellow men. The defamation OF
Miss Nina VanHOrne and little Maud
Lahr We're also we'll chosen for the occa-
sion and delivered in a manner that more
than pleased. At the close OF the services
Post Commander w. \ Cunning made a
short talk, after which the @. y. X, the
w. II. c., and The Fower Girls marched to
the tomb erected for the unknown dead
where the beautiful garlands of flowers
were tenderiy laid above the sacred dust
of fallen heroes.
