ANOTHER rHoueHr RrADEa.
Charles NJ. Jones Performs Very Clever
Fea,.

After the search OF Thought Reader
Johnstone yesterday. quite bevy OF
prominent business men aud citizens were
standing in the corridor of the Carey
hotel discussing the matter.
81 can't do as well as Johnstone." said
Mr.. Jones, sbut l am something OF a
thought reader myself"
The crowd smiled, but Charlie still in
sisted that he meant what he said.
"What can you do." asked a dozen
voices at once. addressing Mr. Jones.
"Well to be BRIEF" said the we'll known
clothier. 81 can find anything you may
hide about this hotel and you will observe
that it is no small house."
Forty fellows offered to bet anything
from bottle of wine to suit of clothes
that ne couldn't do what he proposed
II don't drink wine, thank you" said
Mr. Jones, "and as for the clothes, I have
all l want in the store. To be accom-
modating, will do what say without
betting"
Two citizens were at once deputized to
hide something, and wit cautious looks
behind them they went up into the south
east corner room of the third story and
hid Mr. Levy's watch charm over tran
som.
A bapdage was put over Mr. Jones' eyes
and taking hold of the man that hid ths
charm he fairly dragged him around the
satchels and finally into the
elevator. the elevator stopped at
the third floor, Mr.. Jones followed the
route taken by the men who did the hid
ing and stopped at the very door over
which the charm was hidden. He CROPPED
around with his hands for half an hour.
and on two occasions his fingers were
within one-sixteenth of an inch of the
charm. He left the place few times only
to return again, and finally he pointed to
the transom and said: 1T is up there but
am too short to reach it'' He was
right. the charm was secreted in a place
that be could not reach Il was regarded
as quite feat.
There are good many local mind
readers in Wichita. Judge Campbell is
one of unusual power and has performed
feats that are almost incredible.

Strange rumors have come from Sedg
wick relative TO the mysterious poisoning
that occurred there few days ago
a coroners jury have Investigated the
affair and it is understood that they
secured evidence of the most unnatural
and revolving nature 1t is not improb-
able that warrant has been issued ere
this for very near relative of the
deceased Mrs. Snyder, charging her
with the poisoning. The cause
for her crime, if there is anything
IN the story, is peculiar one and only
demonstrates the degree to which a
naideu's head might be turned in an evil
direction for the sake of a love affair. In-
'i+ed it is said that Mrs. Snyder's death
VAS the result of young woman's in
ability to get married to a young man she
had fallen in love with, but as to this of
course the matter is of too serioDs nature
to openly fasten the crime on the sus-
pected party until more positive evidence
IS brought to light.
Dame gossip has her say however, and
IT she Is correct the crime will turn out to
be of the darkest and most interesting in
the annals of this part of the state.
The EAGLE is watching the case and will
keep its readers posted on 1t from time to
time as it develops under the reliable in
vestigation of the authorities. The Win
ner and McNutt case has long held sway as
the most atrocious crime ever committed
IN this section OF the state, but it was
nothing compared with this if what is at
present only limited at is true

A NOTED JOINT DEBATE.
Mr.. Wellington of Ellsworth Wits W ch ita
and Noted Debate Is Recalled.

Hon. Ed Wellington, one of the fore
most Shriners in the state, was in the city
yesterday enrOute to Howard, a1d put in
the time between trains very pleasantly
with Charles NJ. Jones, Tom Fitch and
other brother Shriners. Mr. Yelling ton
is the gentleman who suffered such sad
defeat in his county two years ago when a
Populist Bohemia an beat him for the legis
lature. He felt his defeat keenly, not be-
ause he was showed under in the land
slide, but because the man who beat him
could neither read nor write English, and
barely spoke the language intelligently.
With the characteristic audacity of a
Populist the Bohemian challenged Mr.
Wellington to joint debate, greatly ln-
creasing the merriment of the people who
knew both OF them. for the latter is a very
bright young gentleman and fluent sil-
r-topgued speaker. The first debate was
set for Green Plains township, and both
contestants met there. The Bohemian
was as cool as cucumber while Yelling
ton was hilarious with good humor at the
prospect for such picnic. Mr.. Wellington
took the rostrum first and made very
learned speech of an hours duration. He
discussed the tariff aud all the possible.
probable and prospective effects it would
have in every nook and corner of the
nation as we'll as in the national trade
with Great Britain, the continent, the
dominion or Canada and South America.
Such strong array of arguments were
never before heard in Green Plains town
ship. He than tackled the money oues-
tion with the confidence and
experience of Bostonian aud made
prOdigiOus argument upon the
subject. The Republicans at the meeting
felt tickled beyond measure while the
Populists sat still and stubborn waiting
for their champion to appear.
Finally he came out before the audience
and after addressing them, said:
''Gentemen's vos no money loaner at
DIRE ber zen month like mine obonent
aud don't know nodings aboud the money
or the tareeff but am an honest Bohe-
mian man, with a mortgage on my farm
that want lifted and ii you'll elect me to
60 TO Topeka Pll vote like a honest man on
the tareetf and the money question"
The Populists in the audience nearly
yelled The roof off the house, cheered the
Bohemian for five minutes and on the day
of the election he carried the township by
an overwhelming vote.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Very Little Business OF any Interest Trans
acted Last Night.

The school board met last night in
regular monthly session with President
Ward in the chair and all the members
present except Mr.. Gill and Mr.. Van
Werden, who were unavodabIy absent.
Very little business of Importance was
transacted
On motion the property of Mr. Marsh in
the east part of town was Incorporated
into the school board for educa-
tional purposes. Mr.. Brubacher,
collector for the board, reported that be
had succeeded in collecting only about $50
from nonresident pupils, and upon this
showing he was ordered co go after them
with sharp stick.
This has been question of contention
for long time There are great many
pupils from abroad in this city attending
the public schools and their parents not
being tax payers in the city, aud helping
to support the schools, the board naturally
thinks that they ought to be compelled to
pay tuition. These pupils are here during
the school months as visitors to their
uncles, aunts or grand parents, but it is
very noticeable that they leave after the
school term closes an return again when
the term opens.

FAXED THE FARMERS.
Peter Gray Arrested and T,ken TO Butler
county for Woi king the Agency Faks
and Harry Hill for Implication

Peter Gray and Harry Hill were taken
to Ell Dorado last night on the 905 train,
both of them being charged with
swindling the innocent and unsuspectine
farmers of Butler county.
Sheriff Middleton, who conveyed them
to Butler county, was very anxious that
they should not get away. He sent a card
and two kilograms to Chief Cone to hold
them fast.
The game which it is alleged they played
upon the farmers is an old one but put up
In as many different shapes as the imagi-
native swindler can concoct and create.
In this case, it was sickle stones. some
kind Of grind stone for sharpening
sickles with which the sheriff claims
Peter Gray worked the farmers.
First comes a man with this new in
vention. He wants to make the victim
an agent to sell the machine to his
neighbors. He shows him bright pro-
poets OF making money without investing
any capital, gets him to make an
order for number OF the
aliuring money makers and 30
writes that order that by adding
a letter here and another there and chang
ing another in some other part of the or
order for the saleable article has now be-
come bill for the goods on delivery.
The goods came and with them the bill
which amounts to severar. Thousand dollars.
The agent is astonnded. His chops
drop and his eyes nearly bulge from his
head. He thinks there is mistake and
asks for an explanation. Then another
man is sent who compromises matters by
stating that he will make it all right if the
farmer pays the freight and expenses.
These figure up to hundred dollars or
more and in case the farmer does not have
the money the go between takes his note
chaser.
he evidence points directly to Peter
Gray, but how Harry Hill is implicated
was not clearly defined. If he took part at
all in the case it was not very active one.

SELLS MoRIGAGED PROPERTY.

W. J. Copeland who WAS arrested some
weeks ago for obtaining property under
false preteDce. was released yesterday
Hardly WAS he Tree from the steel fasten-
ings w hen Mr.. Nicholson, a gentleman
who had loaned him money, inquired anx-
io1sly for Sheriff Royse and stated that he
had a mortgage on a team of mares which
Copeland WAS making all haste TO get into
the territory. Copeland, he alleges, had
already sold pair of mules which he had
no right TO SELL
Mr.. Nicholson was sent to the county
attorney. but the latter was at work on
lhe Hancher case. He went to Judge
Wall who drew up the complaint and a
Justice issued "A warrant which, however,
through delays Of various kinds did not
reach the sheriff till nearly 6 O'Clock.
AL this time Copeland was getting
farther away, but the sheriff had his eve
on him and left last night on the Frisco,
rather certain that he would bring Cone
land back with him.

TRIAL SET FOR NEXT MONDAY.

Arthur Hancher, charged with being
implicated in the robbery of the United
States Express company's wagon last fall,
was brought Into the district court yester-
day afternoon. His attorney. Mr.. Heade-.
son of Winfield, made a motion to dismiss
the action against Haucher on the ground
that be gave testimony against Others
i'm plicased IN the robbery. but County At
torney Boone claimed that Ha1cher gave
the testimony on the agreement that he
might not be ayraigned for robbery but
might plead guilty 10 grand larceny and
submit himself TO the clemency OF the
courf.
Tue sentence for Burglary would be ten
years. for grand larceny seven years and
thus hs would escape three years of prison
fare. Mr. Henderson, would not accept
the proposition and the argument will &c
heard by the court on Monday next.

THE GREATEST VALLEY IN THE WORLD

We found on our table beautiful bunch
of wild violets. fresh purple beauties, and
in their hearts the fragrance of spring.
They were picked by o. T. Simmons, on
Saturday, from the banks of our own river,
at Ft. Smith, Arkansas. Mr.. Simmons
has been all the way down the valley from
Wichita to the line of Arkansaw. He says
great is the Arkansas valley, but especial
ly great from Wichita TO the Mississippi
It is the future agricultural paradise of
America The homes of coming millions
will yet cluster along its banks, about,
aud over its vastly rich and live bottoms,
in which cities and towns will flourish. 1t
is indeed the Nile OF America. However
instead of the palm our Nile is lined with
more valuable woods. The three hundred
miles OF valley between Wichita and Ft.
Smith is unsurpassed anywhere. For
agriculture and for climate it is not equal
ed by either the Missouri. the Mississippi
or the Ohio valleys. There is but one draw
back TO that vast and naturally wealthy
domain. "a very empire. aud that is the
nightmare of Indian title aud criminal
savagery.

The auditorium fund is going nicely on.
Nearly $500 more were added yesterday,
notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. Biting
was quite busy with other matters of in
terest.
The more people think about the propo-
sition, the more popular it becomes. and
many are increasing their subscriptions
Thomas G. Fitch yesterday called on Mr..
Biting. He had one share and
he wanted to make it two. While
he was writing down the ad
ditional share, he heard au outsider
eulogizing the scheme, and he Immediately
changed the figures and subscribed three
shares. This is the spirit that is prevail

Fitch. George w. Bennett. the plumber,
also called on Mr.. Biting and doubled

IMPORTANT SUIT DECIDED.

The jury in the case of Steinbuchel vs.
Lane decided, in favor OF the defendant.
The case involved the question as &c
whether patent TO the island in the Ar
kansas river on which the city water works
are at present situated is valid. and the
jury found that il was.
The ground on which il was held that
the land could be pre-empted by itself
was that the river was at that time u
navigable river. Great interest was mari-
tested in this case and one day the jury
were taken out 10 visit the island and see
the groand for themselves
