OBITUARY.,

Thomas l.. Elliott, or Lee as he was
familiarly called by his friends, was
born in Henry county, Iowa, August
22, 1912.
At the breaking out of the rebellion
in 1860 he made up his mind to enlist
which he did in 1861 as a private in
Company G., Sixth Iowa volunteer in
fantry. His health failed, and after
a short time he was honorably dis
charged.
Having regained his health and the
war being still on he re-enlisted as a
private in Company D., Ninth Iowa
cavalry, in which capacity he saw
hard service.
He was beloved by his comrades and
was a good soldier. His mess mate.
Lieutenant Easton, say Lee was missed
at Boots and Saddles" once in three
years.
He was married to Melissa ]. Conyers
in 1861. This union was blessed with
eight children. all of whom survive but
one. Death claimed Lee Thursday

Cole that the building was destined to
remain idle during the winter months,
which is the season of the year when
the greatest demand is made for use
of an edifice of this nature. The testi
mony of Major Cole as to the acoustic
properties of the building is a high
compliment to its architect, and with
the expense of few dollars Wichita
will have one of the best auditoriums
in the United States. The work is
all done, with the exception of few
finishing touches, and there is but lit
tie doubt these will be added.
The proposition met with warm
responses throughout the audience and
scores of men offered to give like
amount. The boom started did not die,
and was taken up yesterday morning
by the executive committee, and
visit was made to the managers of
the auditorium, asking them to sub
nit a proposition for furnishing the
auditorium
During the morning meeting at
the First Presbyterian church. Mr..
Frank Russell, general manager of
the auditorium, went to the church. and
informed the executive committee OF
the union meetings that they would
furnish the auditorium made comfort
able for holding their services for the
sum of $50 per week, provided they
would agree TO take the hall for ten
weeks. The proposition was Well re-
ceived, and the committee representing
the union meeting visited the business
men and others during the afternoon
endeavoring to raise the required
amount. They met with encouragement
on every hand, and last evening ii was
a foregone conclusion that the
building would be secured.

ACCIDENTALLY POISONED.
James Kabbler and Neal Carver Take Dose
of Morphine IL Their Coffee.

DR.. ST John was called last night to
the building in the rear of Ford &
Ford'S grocery store to see man who
was supposed to be suffering from
dose of poison accidently taken. In
company with an Eagle representative
the doctor visited the place given by
telephone message. On arrival James
Robbie, who resides at the corner of
Lincoln and Washington street, was
found to be suffering from the effect
of poisonous substance he had taken.
An antidote was administered and in
a short time the patient was relieved
from his paroXyms. The following
particulars were learned:
Mr.. Robbie stopped at the residence
of a friend of his named Neal Carver,
who resides at 1130 South Ida avenue,
and supper being ready he was invited
70 join the family, which he did. Mrs.
Carver poured out the coffee and pass
ing a cup to her. husband he tasted it
and exclaimed that il was the strong
est cup of coffee he had ever tasted.
The rest at the table tasted their coffee
and pronounced it all right. Mr.. Car
Yer then passed his cup TO Robbie re-
questing him to taste it, which he did,
eXclaiming that there was quinine in
the cup.
Upon examination it was found that
Mrs. Carver had used cup in which
was a powder, which she believed to
he baking powder. The coffee was
thrown. out the meal finished. In a
short time Mr.. Carver complained of
feeling badly and began vomiting.
Kabbler concluded to come up town,
and while at his friends, j. s. Hamil-
ton, he was taken violently sick.
DIR. st. John pronounced the powder
taken as being morphine, and a mess
age was sent to Mr.. Garver'S informing
him of the doctors opinion. 1t was the
general belief that the taking of the
poison was an accident and the
amount taken was too small to cause
any serious results.
\ message from DR.. Cline at late
hour last night reported that Mr.. Gar
Yer was resting and no fears were felt
as to the result.

Constable yoss Has 4 vile Ra.e After a Flee
in. Youth.

Theodore Oft, Jr., was arrested yes
terday by Constable Thomas Noss,
after a hard chase. The constable
went to the residence of the young
mans father, on East Central avenue
with warrant for the arrest of young
OFT, who was charged with criminal
assault upon a young girl who, IL is
alleged, is under the age of Is years.
When the constable came TO the front
door he saw young OFT making his eS-
cape through the. back door of the
building. He at once started in pur-
suit and lively chase ensued. After
commanding the flying fugative to
halt several times, the constable drew
his revolver and fired in the air. This
only increased the speed of the young
man and the chase became an earnest
one. After continuing the chase for
over a mile both became exhausted,
and the young man surrendered to the
officer. and was brought before JnStice
Tucker, who had issued the warranS.
The hearing of the case was continued
until next Monday, and in default of
bail young OFT was committed to

WHAT Il ITj

W. J. Shelton went to notary public
last night to acknowledge some papers
involving charges of disbarment of a
well-known attorney, and the notary
fatty refused to put his notorial seal
to the charges in question. AS the
charges are not yet a matter of record
they are not a proper matter for dis
cussion but the time will probably
come if the charges are pushed and
become Il matter of record when some
exciting events will take place and
there is every reason to believe that
they will not he one sided. They will
probably reach out and spread till,
like a blanket. they will cover
whole lot of fellows in this city. But
it is predicted that the charges will
never reach the proper tribunal.

REVIVAL SERVICES.
Impressive and Fl iuitful Exerc'se Lat Night
ut Onion Meeting.

The services held at the Presbyterian
church last night We're one out of
the usual course. The opening eXer-
ciSeS We're continued until a late hour,
when Major Cole arose saying he was
impressed to let the spirit lead the serv-
ices of the hour, and he called for teSti-
monies from Christians to be given in
short sentences such as would be spok-
en- by them to sinnerS,i if ii was the last
invitation they would give on earth.
The response came from every portion
of the house in short promises given
by the Savior to sinners. In many in
stances the same promise was repeated.
He next wanted all who had been
saved to rise and say Come" Next
to turn their face and look sinners in
the eyes, and repeat the word come. All
old veterans and others who felt they
We're unable to do any work during the
evening were invited to enter the
class rooms at the right and left of the
pulpit and to hold a prayer meeting
that a gracious outpouring of the Spirit
might descend upon the efforts of the
meeting.
The major took for his text the
words recorded in the last chapter of
ReVela ton: Let whoSoeVer will
come unto the fountain and drink of
the water Of life freely" He drew
graphic picture of the Savior speaking
10 John as ne was about TO nnlSh the
Great Book, and how anxious he was
that none should be omitted from the
great feast. How the promises of God
were extended to the man through
out the Great Book, and how, at the
close the invitation that was ex-
tended to every man, woman and child
had been inspired. The time had come
for acceptance of Gods promises. The
testimony was all in; the verdict must
be rendered, and with those out of
the ark of safety the responsibility
must rest.
He then called for those who We're
willing to cast their lot on the Lords
side to make it known by rising. A
large number responded, and went for
ward for prayer.
The attendance was not as large as
on Wednesday evening, but the inter-
est was very manifest and the services
were the most impressive of the series.

Ma, Ma, COME HOME
ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD
AFTER a RUNAWAY WIFE.
Took Her to His Bosom Last Friday
and Like All Friday Events Ii Was
Fruitful of Evil ResultS-Fouud
Her at Arkansas City and
Brought Her Home.

The Arkansas City Traveller Of yes
erday gives the details of a marital
romance in which a Wichita man and
his bride were concerned. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Marshal Nash had an amusing eX-
perience yesterday. During the day
a man aged about 65 years and neatly
dressed came to him and said he was
looking for his runaway wife and wish
ed the marshaPs assistance in finding
her. The man said his name was Rich
mond and that he was resident Of the
gay and giddy Wichita. Last Friday
he took back the rib, according to law,
that is reported to have been removed
from man years ago. He was united in
marriage to a woman about IS years
of age who had been going under the
name of Peck, but when the marriage
license were procured, she gave her
name as Mccormick. The old man just
dotted on his new bride She was his
heaven and she got evrything she asked
for and perhaps more, too, They went
to house keeping and Friday night,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday and until
Tuesday all went as merry as a mar
riage bell. Richmond set his wife up
in the chicken business and left $50
at the house. Tuesday night Rich
wootsy" and she was gone-so was his
500. He started out to find her and
traced her to this city yesterday and
then lost the trail. Marshal Nash then
went on the hunt and soon located the
woman She was at the home of her
son-in law on South Sixth street. Yes
erday afternoon Marshal Nash and
Richmond went to the house. The for
mer called the Son-in-law out and ask
ed him if lady hailing from Wichita
was not stopping at his house. He
said no, but there was one who had
just arrived from st. Joe. Just then
the old man caught sight of his new
bride and he broke for the house on a
run followed by the marshal. Enter
ing they found the woman in the case
locked in a bedroom, where she had
gone as soon as her husband saw her.
Marshal Nash requested Mrs. Rich
mond to come out and talk to her hus-
band, which she finally did. AS she
walked smilingly from the BEDROOM
the old man exclaimed in great an
guish: Ma! Ma! what made you run
away? You know 1 love you as no
other man could love a woman. Come
back to me, and L will foget all At
Wichita I have $3.50 in the bank. L will
make it $500 if you will come and live
with me for three weeks. Ma. Ma do
come back. Marshal Nash advised
the old man to hang on to his money.
but he wanted Ma back" too hard.
The officer came up town and last
night Richmond sent him word from
the Santa Fe depot that it was all
right; everything had been settled and
he was happy. We therefore suppose
that he got his wife to return"

j. +. JoLsntg. Transferred TO the Chicago
Ofic,.

Yesterday morning Mr.. and Mrs. j..
F. Johantgen left for Chicago and a
host of friends gathered at the hotel
before they left, accompanied them to
the depot and with many wishes bid
them a final farewell.
Mr.. Johantgen will make his future
home in Chicago, having been called
there and given a much more import
ant and responsible position by the
New York Life insurance company for
whom he had done an immense busi-
ness i'm this city and state during the
past eight years. He liked Wichita ex-
ceedingly we'll and Notwithstanding
his promotion to a position in the sec
ond city in the United States he felt
sorry to to leave a place where he had
so many warm personal and business
friends. Mr.. Johantgen is a business
man of rare ability and is a pro-
nounced success in the insurance line.
Personally he is genial, clever and
above all manly and upright and there
is no doubt but what he will score ad
ditional success in his new field.
