FOUND IN A WELL
MAN CROWNED UNDER STRANGE
CIRCUMSTANCES.
While Suffering From Measles He
Silently Disappears and is Dis
covered Dead in Eighteen
Irches of WATERWAYS
Probably Insane.

John Hoitbauser, a we'll known farmer
of Waco township, met with very sad
death about bedtime night before last.
Il will probably never be known whether
his death was suicide or accidental.
The deceased lived thirteen miles south
west of Wichita, and was not only we'll
known, but in the best repu:e in the CON-
muuity. He had wife aud TWO children,
and as IA farmer was prosperous.
For several days Mr.. Holthauser was
ailing with the measles aud they bothered
him very much. He couldn't work, OF
course, and the farm needed attention
which he could not give it. Tuesday aft
ernoon Mrs. Holtbauser sent TO Mt. Hope
for her father and that gentleman arrived
about dark About 9 O'Clock Mr.. Holt
hauser WAS found missing and the house
was searched III vain. Nobody saw
or heard him leaving the house he did il
SO quietly When he could not be found
the nei.hbors were summoned and Il
search instituted with the result that the
body was found in u hole which served
emporariiy for well. This hole was not
very deep and contained only about
eighteen inches of water His head was
unGer Tie wafer WILLIE Ddtt VI tuS oou5
WIS above the surface. 1t looked like II
would be impossible for man TO be
drowned there.
The matter was reported to Coroner
MeCollister and he, Sheriff Royse and DIR.
St. John went out there. Au Inquest was
held aud the jury returned verdict OF ac'
cilental drowning.
The supposition is that Mr.. Holthauser
left the house in lit of temporary de.
rangement of the mind and in wandering
about fell into the well, which was covered
only with loose planks.
The day previous to the fatal accident
Mrs. HolthauseI was complaining that the
well was about run dry and that she
needed water for washing. This informa-
tion greatly bothered him aud he would
leave his room several times aud go to the
well and peep into it. His friends think
shat it was during one OF these trips that
he fell and was drowned.
The accident is very mnch regretted in
the neighborhood.
The remains will be buried today at
Mount Hope.

FOUND A WAY OUT
WILSON WANTS IT TO Go TO THE
LEGISLATURE
Justice Brewer Ruled on a Case
Similar to the One Now Oc-
cupying the Attention of
Wichita, From Lyon
County.

Thomas &. Wilson, ex-city attorney,
seems to have found "way out" In the
matter of the paving of Douglas avenue
and the collection Of the tax levy for the
same.
Mr.. Wilson was seen in his Office yester-
day ana he said:
eyes, l have been looking up some law
points, and l think that the matter can be
easily and amicably settled in time
All that will be required is to get
the next session Of the legislature tc
pass an enabling act authorizing the
mayor and city council to make a reas'
sessment and reievy. This will cure any
mistakes that may have been made in the
proceedings. The representatives from
this county can, with ease, secure the
passage of such AL act, and in this man
ner protracted legal fight in the courts
can be avoided and the city saved heavy
expenses"
''Are there any precedents of this kind
on the books?"
'Yes, you will find one on page 423 ol
the 18th volume of the Kansas reports
Here it is entitled the city OF Emporia and
others Us. H. E Norton and Others The
decision is by Justice Brewer. The action
in question was commenced in the Lyons
county district court in 1871 by one Norton
and twelve others against the county clerk
to restrain the collection of assessments
levied TO pay contractors for macadamiz
ing, curbing and guttering Commercial
street in the city OF Emporia.
The decision takes up some fourteen
pages of the report. and thoroughly covers
the subject.
Mr.. Wilson's idea is outlined in the fol.
lowing paragraph from the syllabus of the
Norton case.
"The city of Emporia, city of the Sec
ond class, was Cauthorized to improve
its streets. 1t caused one TO be curbed,
guttered, and macadamized. 1t attempted
to assess and collect the cost thereof from
the adjoining lots. but failed, owing en-.
tirely to the fact that estimate of the cost
had been made by the engineer and sub
mitted to the council prior to the contracts
therefor. Subsequently, by general law,
legislature authorized reassessment and
relevy, Held that this cured the defect
caused by the omission of the estimate,
aud that the city could proceed to reas.
sesS and collect the taxes therefor.

DEFENDS HER DRESS.
Miss Martins Picture and Article In the Boston
Arena.

t'The Bondage of Custom" an article on
dres reform by Isis B. Martin of this city
appears in the February number of the
Boston '.Arena."
A full length steel engraving of Miss
Martin in her reform dress is given with
her article.
Miss Martins article gives some of the
experiences which she has had in her new
costume and her opinions on dress in gen.
eral, together with some pungent remarks
on her critics. The article was written in
1893.
In concluding she says: "My style of
dress is getting to be an old thing, and the
people do not stare at NEE with nearly SO
much impertinence as they did at first.
Occasionally some brilliant youth,
whose highest ambition in life is
to smoke cigarette and loaf on
the street corners will make some remarks
as pass by. Young misses who have been
poorly reared will te-he. and am sorry to
say it of my sex, but l have had women
call after me and make insulting remarks
about my costume. ! have taken particu-
lar notice to mark the classes of people
that criticised me most severely, and find
them to be principally Goldfish aristocracy'
and the low class of people, both being
rated among the most ignorant.
"On my business trip to Kansas City my
reform dress did not call forth critical
looks or sarcastic remarks. The people
just simply minded their own business.
They had too good manners to do other
wise. Did not have the higher class of
people to deal with in my work, would
be somewhat in danger Of losing my posi-
tion through my change of costume.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
In your issue of yesterday there appeared
notice in the locals which does great !n-
justice to worthy institution OF learning

ut is headed "Fairmount College" and
goes on 20 say that the school is slightly
embarrassed, and that Judge Reed would
be asked to appoint a receiver for the col
lege. There is no such school as Fair
mount college.
Fairmount college is the name Of an old
corporation organized during the boom
days, and that it is, as your correspondent
says Slightly embarrassed" goes without
saying. But it is tue owner Of few lots
scattered over the city. but no buildings
the court records was for the appointment
of q receiver for few lots owned by that
old corporation.
Fairmount Institute on the other hand
is the owner of the fine building aud CAM
pus of twenty acres on Paramount" 10
our city, and is conducting most success
full school. IL has been running now for
two years, and is not III any sense emb bar
rassed," but on the Otner hand there Is no
educational institution in southern Kan
sas that is in as good financial condition.
Ic has strong friends both here ana IN
the east, aud an effort is now being made
to get money to complete tho building and
erect at least one domitory. so as TO be able
to accommodate the large increase of stu
dents The number enrolled this year is
already nearly one hundred and proper
tionate increase for next year would neces-
state the completion of double the NUM-
bar Of recitation rooms now being used.
This institution deserves your encour-
agement and the help OF the citizens of

BURSTED COMMUNITIES.
What q. c. Daisy Says About the Pacific nd
Mountain States.

"Wichita is the best town between st.
Louis and the waters of the Pacific Ocean,"
said o. c. Daisy last night in his usual
picturesque fashion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daisy had just returned
from round trip of something like 5000
miles. They commenced at Los Angeles,
went from there to Santa Anna, San
Diago. Oakland, San Francisco, Portland,
Or. Boise City. Ogden. Salt Lake and
Denver. At Boise City they visited with
Mrs. Daisy's parents for several days
had splendid time with the old folks.
Mr.. Daisy says that Boise City is lively
town on account of the development of
some new mines, but that all tue other
places are deader than the traditional door
nail"
Il am prouder than ever of being citi-
zen of Wichita" said Mr.. Daisy. land
wish some of the fellows who think we
have dull times here would go to Cali
fornia. Wichita is so far ahead of any
city in the slope or mountain states
that there is no comparison
whatever. California" said he, 'is
hursted wide open. They will give you
anything you want there for money. If
you go into town WITH the reputation OF
being a monied man scores of people will
hunt you down and bother you to death
almost. They are Offering property for a
song. and everything else is cheap in
proportion. Hundreds of people
went in there and sunk money
in orange groves. Today oranges are SELL
ing for so cents box, although irrigation
water is very high. In San Francisco
hundreds of stores are vacant and the
rents of occupied stores have fallen from
50 to 60 per cent. The people are very
much discouraged and the states popula-
tion is decreasing every day. What is true
of California is also true of Utah, Colorado
Montana and Wyoming. Kansas. Nebras-
ka and Iowa are all strictly in it and
Wichita is the best town in all of them. :"
