The Largest in the World.

Within sight of the station at Ather-
stone, ON the London and Northwestern
railway there is to be seen an enormous
earthenware jug, the largest in the world.
This capacious article was manufactured at
the Potteries, Church Gresley, over 50
years ago. Its holding capacity, when
full is l50 quarts, and it is so large that a
man can sit inside it. It now rests over
the front door of china, glass and eartheu-
ware warehouse.
The Hessian fly is so called because it
was supposed to have been brought from

RUNAWAY GIRLS.
Went TO Camp Mee'in and Failed 10 Return
Home.

One week ago this morning, and the
placid Sabbath stiffness brooded nowhere
more sweetly than over the delectable re
gion whose romantic name OF Mlnneha
suggests only the swestness without
the tragedy of romance; today there
is the murmur of the busy tongue,
the shadow lies on five once happy house
holds and Que broken-hearted father is at
the gates of death, and all through an in
applicable escapade of misguided youth.
Last Sunday evening two youths of 10,
Albert Baker and Gus Haple, accompanied
10y four young girls, Grace Baker. Addie
Freeman, Lille Yount and Title Carson,
ranging between ii and 10 years of
age, started from their respective
homes in MiDneha township, about SIX TO
eight miles east of this city, oStenslbly
bound for campmeeting at Augusta.
This being an ordinary occurrence In the
community aud the distance to Augusta
being some ten miles no alarm was felt
when at late hour Sunday night they
had not returned, and even when morn
ing came without them IL WAS only
natural for each anxious family to sup
pose thaJ the ab>eutees had concluded To
spend the night with their companions of
some of the other families. Inquiry re-
vealel the fact that the children had
abjured the realm, and search was in-
stiJuted. Adam b ker, the father
of Albert and Grace, accompanied
I.
and started il search. Their trail
led eastward aud at Leon they were not
far behind the fugltiyes, but soon after
passing Leon the, neckyoke OF the buggy
came down, the horses ran away, both
men were thrown 10 the ground and Mr..
Baker had several ribs broken and sus-
taiued serious internal Injuries He was
taken back TO Leon where he has lain in
great agony since, and last night
his csse was pronounced hopeless.
In the meantime Carson continued the
search, but has not come up with the
chase, though several times within a few
miles of it. The children travel at night
aud camp out by day.
Addie Freeman scame back TO Wichita
BY rail Friday and went home, but will
give no account of the whereabouts, in
Ientions or movements Of the party, She
will not tell where she has been, and says
that the Others threatened her with all
SORTS OF vengeance If she told where they
were.
The theory in the vicinage is that the
gypsy notions of the little people are due

Blue JAY is the noted character who has
been the queen of the slum5 of Wichita
for many years. She has a peculiar
history, which has been oft repeated in the
columns of the EAGLE. At one time she
was noted Kentucky belle OF education
and refinement. but she :ell in love with
and married colored man and came TO
Kansas. She is the worst drunkard In
town and has figured an average of about
tifty-two times year In the police records
for several years. She is as fine a sample
OF total depravity as Ed Flynn, the man
whom the police arrested for the murder
and who Is still in Jail.

corner of Fourteenth and Park place.
He had been in his usual health up to

only of pain in his chvst from which
nothing serious was unprecedented. YeSter-

as has been his custom for years, perused

had not been a confirmed invalid, however,
so his death was as unexpected as it was
sudden.
J, L. Campbell was born in Washington
county, Pennsylvania, April 20, 1888, and
was consequently past 50 years of age. His
ancestry was OF the staunch type of Scotch
