JOHN BULL AND OUR BONDS
Comment on CarlIsIess Proposed Issue

L0SDoN, Jan. 19.-The Times, ia its
financial article. referring TO Secretary
Carlisle's proposal 10 issue bonds. says
that III would not be a high price for
American bonds, but for the fact that
they would be redeemable az par in ten
wears which makes it unlikely anyone
but banking people would take them.
This. however, the Times says, is just
what IS wanted, as the possible 10000
600 sterling i'm gold, the treasury VIII re-
ceive from the banks VIII not injurIously

curitv for an Increased note circulation

Bonds of this class are not likely 10 he
taken even if offered in London. No pri-
vate person would have them and they
would be useless to the banks or any one
requiring ioaters in his business, owing
to the heavy premium paid for them.

WAsHTNGTCN. Jan. l9-nenor Romero,
the Mexican minister has no advices req
garding the reported capture Of Chihua-

improbable as Chihuahua is the capital
of its state, strongly fortified and there is
no force of men in Mexico which could
capture it.

Out go the slot machines The churches
of the city. as well as all other sensitive
| people. have objected to Mr.. Boone about
these inanimate but agile thieves. and last
evening he issued an ukase consigping
them to some town that has more nickel>
than Wichita
All machines were ordered to be shut of
By midnight last night and if any are
| found Monday they will be confscared.
The complaint made was that school
boys and other youths Of precocious,
sporty turn were bucking the concern
with disastrous effects alike on their NOR
| ais and their poke. books.
There was another reason for the abolish
ment of the slot nuisance. IL had gobbled
up all the nickles in the city and caused
the merchants here serious Inconvenience
in making change. They will be glad to
get them out of the way.
The slot machine is, as gambling de-
vice worse than craps, faro or stud poker.
The chances of winning are as thin AS the
chances OF keeping sunlight in n bottle
over night in the Arctic regions. The ma
chine possesses the faculty of Turing a
man on with cruel fascination. while the

which goes to the "house," brushes hope

himself with a club.
The man who bucks the average slot
machine twice in su ccession is usually fit
for treason, strategem and wienerwurst,
Immediately after.
The man who owns the machines lives
at the Carey. He wears an incendiary dia-
mond, and clothes Of an obs,reperous pat
tern. A large percentage of the money
that trickles through the slot goes to him.
The machines in Wichita have caused a
good manyirows. Night before last, twoOk-
lahoma visitors struck one in a cigar store
and went in for blood. They wore away
a ten dollar bill without success
and while they were after more
nickles to keep up the game. a
local sport dropped one in and took the
whole pie. There were loud words and a
fight was only averted by the keeper of the
store, who fixed up a compromise to save
the reputation Of his store.
Last evening most of the slot machines
were doing a big business, as it was gen.
orally understood that the end WAS near.
There was good deal of speculation AS to
whether the decree against the bank ma.
chimes included the nickle-ih-t he-slot cigar
devices. 1t was generally agreed that
these machines were safe, bat the precau-
ton will be taken today and Monday to
keep them plugged.

THAT AUDITORIUM CONTRACT.

Will that auditorium be ready on time.
There are two events fixed for ibis mouth
which were to take place within ii, and
there are expressions of anxiety as TO the
chances of it being finished in time fol-
the Travelling mems convention. Six hun
dred invitations have been issued for the
ball of that occasion and many more are
TO go out.
The outside and inside frame work is up,
the walls Enclosed. the gallery supports IN
place and the roof arches made and being
put in place. But there is much to be
done and a superficial survey suggests 70
the writer that the force of workmen
ought to be doubled or more. Il would
prove big disappointment TO the travel
ing men, WHO largely inspired the move
Dent, if the building should not be flo
ished in time for their annual festivities

| The crank who is after Mrs Lease il
coming, it is said. The latest is from
| Creston, la.
| The story told about him in the EAGLE {
few days ago, was looked upon as a kind OF
joke, bat it is turning out to be quite
serious.
He was at Creston, Ia, Friday on bis
way to Wichita in obedience to the alleged
orders of the Nszarene, to kill Mrs. Lease
Creston is az least 800 miles this side Of
his home at Kenyon, MINI, and if he i:
| not taken up en- route for insanity it j:
very probable that he will reach here in
three or four days.
That he is dangerous crank there is nc
doubt and he may, perhaps, do some mis-
chief here. Those insane fellows are
pretty cute and while the police are now
| on the watch for all suspicious strangers,
nevertheless he may elude them and if be
can't find Mrs. Lease he may, possibly, set
fire to her house. That was the view
taken of the matter yesterday by an officer
who is very much inclined to look at the
matter in a serious light.
The officer referred to reasoned as fol
lows: IF heis fool enough to travel from
Kenyon, Minnesota, to Creston. Iowa, he
is fool enough to come to Wichita, and if
be is fool enough 70 come to Wichita he is
fool enough to attempt some desperate
undertaking. He is evidently a religions
crank and they are the most dangerous
cranks in the human family, particularly
when they are guided By one of these fool
visions this fellow talks about"
Yesterday Chief of the Fire Department
Walden received a letter from this crank,
postmarked at Creston, Ia. Friday last.
IL is written by the same hand as the let
ter received by Chief of Police Cone, which
contained the first intimation of the
crank's design on Mrs. Leases life.
The letter is as follows:
To the Chief of the Fire Department Wichita. Kan.
call upon you as the guardian of the
happy homes OF our world to bring out
your fire engines to quench the flames of
nate and degradation that we are uncon-
sciously falling into. You shall be pres
emit when l do my duty to the Nazarene
ana the cross. 1t being decreed that l am
to perform the glorious act of destroying
the Medusa you are harboring in YOUR
beautiful city, Mrs. Mary Z. Lease is to
die on May 20, and all the water you have
cannot quench the thirst OF her soul or
stop me from my purpose.
The vision tells me EVERY night to kill
her and l am content. The blood on the
Nazarene is my safeguard and justifica-
ton OF the act / must commit. Mrs. Mary
Lease was born a Catholic and must not
be president.
She says she is a Mason, but she does
not know the secrets of my soul. You
cannot stop me for l cannot be seen. |
am invisible ard the flowers must be white
for the coffin and the red cross will show.
The Nazarine is my hope and He says
to put her out of the way, for she in
culcates doctrines that are pernicious. On
May 20 is the time set for ME to appear in
your Metropolis of the West. Yon cannot

Do not attempt to shield her with your

CERISTENED IN GAELIC.
Rev. Dousald McCorm cK Baptzed His FRS
Baby Yesterday.

Yesterdays EAGLE contained an item
in its Geographic dispatches that the
Hibernian convention at Omaha decided
10 endow a chair in the university at
Washington to teach the Gaelic Language
in order to restore the same among the
tongues spoken of the world. Very few
can speak 1t but there comes occasionally
a son of Erin or Scotia who can gather
his tongue around the words without any
danger of dislocating the jaw. Such an
one is the Rev. Dougald Mccormick OF
Pratt, recently ordained a minister of the
Methodist church. Yesterday Mr. Me
Cormick came up from Pratt to baptize
tInlay Ross baby and in doing so he
chrstened him in the Gaelic tongue Ii
is safe to say that the babT is the first one
born in Kansas who was christened in the
old language.
