sAsYlONIAN CIVILIZATION.
Probable Origin of the Common Phrase
Tying the Knot"

o
Tying the Knot"
Among other features of this ancient
civilization some interesting particu-
lars were given as TO the position Of
women. Though polygamy was al
lowed and praeticed, there is no trace
of the harem system. fact in which
Babylon contrasts very favorably with
ASsyria, where the harem system was
practiced. In Babylon women could
possess property, and in certain contin-
gencies could inherit property. When
a man died without leaving a son his
estate was inherited by his brother. or
failing a brother the next in succession
was a brothers son, when falling a
brother or nephew the estate passed to
his daughter. There is an interesting
instance in which a woman conducted
a case in court of law, which was
something like our modern court
of queens bench The woman repre-
scented the claims of her adopted son
against the counter-claim of her hus-
bands brother, she pleaded the case in
person, and the judge decided in her
favor. There are five tablets now in
the British museum which are the
identical documents this woman pro-
duced to esta blish her claim.
The institution of marriage had much
IN common with the marriage law aud
customs in modern European nations.
II was a civil contract solemnized By
religious ceremony. One part of the
ceremony in the temple was very sig
nificant. The priest took thread from
the garment Of the bride and another
from the garment of the bridegroom
and tied them into a knot, which he
gave 10 the bride. This Is probably the
origin of the modern saying about ty-
ing the knot in regard TO marriage. But
according 10 Babylonian ideas it had
a special significance. The most sacred
covenant between two persons among
the Semitic races was the covenant
OF clothes" This Is the meaning Of
the incident recorded in l. samuel
xviii, !, when Jonathan stripped him
self of his robe and put it upon David.
1t was a solemn covenant Of perpetual
friendship The knotted threads il
Ia bvlonian marriage had the same
significance. This covenant Of clothes
explains the origin 81 the custom 50
Often mentioned in the Bible Of rend-
ing the garments a. a sign ~ grief for
the dead. Il Symbolized the friend
ship which had been severed By death
II j. quite prohab bic. too. that this wEs
the underlying idea which prompted
the touching the hem Of Christ's gar
ment- l. was a claim Of friendship
and. Therefore, OF help. IL is also pos
slble that this gives lis shade 81 mean
ing 70 the fact that when Christ dice
the vel Of the temple was rent IL
twain from the top 70 the bottom -

THAT EXCLUSION.
A Big Time Prepared for the wichita Visitors
10 Neodcsha.

Messrs. Barre and Street the great ex-
cursionists have set the date for the excur-
sion from here to Neodesha for the 18th of
this month. Tuesday seems to be the best
day Of the week for the business men of
the town to attend. Everything has been
working right TO have a large crowd for
this excur sion and all the people in town
are asking how long it will be till they
can see the oil fields of Neodesha. The
managers of this excursion have tried
hard to get the rate down and have s1c-
ceeded in getting a rate of 81 so for the
round trip. This is less than oue-fourth
Of the fare for the round trip. Messrs.
Barre and Street are the kings of the eX-
cursionists in this part of the country and
everybody who goes on their excursions
are assured of having good time.
Now that the bonds have been voted for
prospecting for natural gas or oil it would
be all interesting thing for the citizens
TO 90 over TO Neodesha aud see the won
derful display that can be made with the
natural gas. The benefits TO be derived
from natural gas and oil if they should be
struck here would be incalculable 10 this
city. The fuel question would then be
settled.
The well in the center Of the town when
lighted by a skyrocket mounts a solid
flame of fire eighty feet in height into the
heavens. and lights the country for over
twenty miles around. This is one of the
grand sights in store for the excurionists

STRANGE STORY OF ACCIDENT.
Indications Now are that Colbert Circulated
Story OF HIS own Fatality.

There is something mighty strange
about the article that appeared in yester-
day mornings paper relative TO the alleged
fatal injuries received by A Z. Colbert OF
Kansas City by falling from Santa Fe
freight train between this city and Sedg-
wick.
The official of the Santa Fe, or the
conductor OF the train in question, know
nothing about it.
The story was based on a statement
made in the EAGLE repOrtOrial rooms by II
man who claimed that his name was
Cook, but who seems in reality to be no
other than Colbert himself.
This man came to the office AS stated and
asked a reporter if he had heard about a
man falling from train and being fatally
wounded. When asked what the man 5
name was be replied that it was A. G.
Colbert and that his home was at Kansas
City.
"Why, that's your name isn't iti" said
the reporter.
"Ob, no, you are mistaken" he replied,
"my name is Cook" and in the coolest man.
ner possible proceeded to relate the story
of Colbert's alleged fatal mishap. He
convinced the reporter that he was Cook
and not Colbert, aud the story was writ
ten.
This same Colbert was seen here on the
streets and now everybody is guessing on
his object of having himself reported
killed.
1t is said that his wife lives in Kansas
City where he, too, has been for some
time. There seems to be some romance at
the bottom Of it.

HE WAS QUITE SLICK.
Colored Gentleman Turns Nice Trick to Get
Watermelon Stock.

The police are red hot after a colored
approached teamster of this city named
wanted job. Johnson said he did if there
was anything in it. Sauls then told him
that he had purchased 200 watermelons
about four miles out in the country and
that he would give him half for the haul
ing. This was satisfactory and Sauls and
Johnson drove out TO the farm of another
Mr.. Johnson four miles west OF the CITY
where there was an immense pile of
melons on the side of the road. They
loaded them up aud about the time they
were ready to start away the caretsker of
Mr. Johnson's farm came upon them and
Indignantly asked them what Their We're
doing.
Sauls said that the had bought the mel
ons, but this WAS not satisfactory TO the
caretaker who insisted upon accompany
ing him TO Johnson's house. They tray
elled along merrily for u half mile or so.
but the African was all this time planning
how TO get on: of the affair.
Look at that rabbit" said he eXcitedly
81 believe I'll get him. and Sauls darted
through the hedge on pretenSe of hunting
the imaginary rabbit. and before the other
two fellows realized his scheme ne was
still running so rapidly that il was futile
to attempt to overtaEe him He has not
been seen siace. The teamster was left to
shoulder the responsibility and IL took
him a long time explaining to the police
and the rightful owner of the melons that
he was not criminally connected with the
affair

DEATH CLAIMED HER.
A Wen Known wichita Young Lady Dies In
Oklahoma.

Miss Lou Petri, until recently one of the
well known young ladies of this city, died
Friday night at her home at Cross, O. T.,
of typhoid pneumonia. She was "a years
of age. The remains will be brought to
this city for intermeDt and the funeral
will take place at 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon from the German N. 4 church.
The Cross Resident mas the following to
say concerning her death:
The deceased was born in Laurensville,
Ind, but subsequently moved to Halstead,
Kan, and later to Wichita, where she be-
came a member of the German NJ. L.
church of that city.
On the 10th of last September Miss
Petri came TO Cross, where she has since
resided. She went into business and has,
ever since locating here, been actively
identified with our social and business
circles.
Last Friday she was taken i'll with a
slight fever, but it was not until Wednes-
day of this week that her condition became
critical.
Yesterday afternoon she seemed to be
better. but shortly before night she rap
idly became worse and in spite of the best
medical aid, her spirit took its flight into
the unknown Land.
Her death WAS unexpected and has diff
fused gloom over the entire community.
Since coming to this city Miss Petrie had
an unusual degree those graces of woman
hood and that tact and courtesy which
wins the hearts of those with whom the
pOssessor comes in contact.
The death Is doubly sad from the fact
that Ter hand was promised To one of our
young business men who was soon to
make her his life companion.
To him whose life path is thus suddenly
darkened and whose pleas are shattered
by the stern decress or fate, we give our
deepest, truest sympathy in this dark
hour. This is. TO him, bitter blow, and
words seem weak and the pen powerless to
offer consolation to the anguished mind.
To the father, brothers and sisters who
have been thus terribly bereft by the dark
angel of death, we extend our .warmest, our
most heartfelt compassion, although we
realize that words or deeds cannot heal
the bruised and aching hearts, or ill
again. in the charmed circle of
the family, the place made vacant
by the death of the sister and
daughter. Let them think that for the
dear one who has left this mortal life and
passed into the great beyond, IL was only
a transition from the imperfect, painful
fever here into life of everlasting rest
and perfect peace and JOY.
Death is not a wall; il is a gateway to a
fuller life, and this loved one has but
closed her eyes upon this world TO open
them upon that glorious world of perfect
rest beyond.
Young in years, standing only on the
threshold of mature life, she was called
to solve the mystery of death, aud has
gone To take that crown of glory which
rewards life welS spent He who doeth
all things well ''hath given his beloved
sleep"
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1894-09-08

The City council met last night and reg
ularly canvassed the vote cast at Tuesday S
election and found il the same as published
heretofore in the EAGLE
There is some speculation as to the
method of spending the money voted to
prospect for cool. gas, oil. etc. Some want
the city do the work By the day, hire its
own men and pay them as they progress
with the work while others believe and
insist on letting it by contract.
1t is understood that Mavor Cox IS
one of the strongest advocates Of
this side. He is inclined to be
more strict about the matter than
mayors usually are. IL is said by some of
his closest friends that he will insist on
having the work let by contract and that
bids must be made In the same manner
that side walk and paving bids are made
1t Is said farther THAI he will insist on the
non payment OF dollar till every contract
Is finished according to the strict
terms thereof This will probably
be done for the purpose of
protecting the city. 1t is said that many
men who follow boring as regular occu-
patton are somewhat trickey; and that
when they come upon indications of find
they discourage their employers from
ton to syndIcates and corporations, who
In quiet way, can purchase the hole
cheap and then proceed to discover the
treasure not far off. Il is said that it was
under this system that many of the oil
wells IN Pennsylvania got into toe hands
of corporations This kind of business
will be watched closely here and guarded
against. 1t was limited yesterday also that
Mayor Cox would not sign an
ordinance issuing the bonds at all. but
that report was gross exaggeration. The
mayor will sign such an ordinance
although be plainly states that he is but
poorly satisfied with the vote cast for
them. He thinks the public should have
more interest in voting upon a question in
which so much money was involved.
While the bonds carried by big majority
of all the votes cast, yet the entire vote
cast represented only very small minority
OF the entire tax-paying vote of the city.

All that is mortal of brave, faithful
John G. Caldwell, who died suddenly
Thursday night WAS taken TO the east last
night over the Rock Tsltnd. IN charge of
A. q. Walden, chief of the Wichita fire
department
The remains were followed to the depot
by large concourse headed by the entire
fire department. in full uniform with al
the enginery from the different IRE houses
of the city. It was an impressive sight,
and not the less so that IL was 50 novel Il
display. Ia all the glitter OF brass and
gieam of steel and glow Of polished wood
work the machinery moved forward, drawn
by the magnificent creatures who seemed
puzzled 10 understand what was msSBt Oy
the unwonted stiffness, and the suail pace
TO which the strong arms behind held
them. Quite different iU was from tae
times when Little jack rode the foot
board and At the word sprang with the
hose, while the pavement few behind him,
and on TO the plug before one could tell
what he was AZ
A large crowd followed the procession
aud waited IN solemn silence, while the
last preparations were ma0e and the
casket WAS transferred TO the car, and the
sight of the strong athletic laddies who
had been bis companions. Impr eSsed even
rhe chance beholaer with feeling OF respect
for the man whom they had never seen,
but who was worthy OF such comrades.
The remains will ue taken TO Virginia,
his, for burial. THIS Is Jacks OLD home,
aud the home OF his Surviving relatives.
He had no relatives here. HIS wife
died before be came west, and his TWO
children have been iu-the care OF their ma
ternal grandmother.
The deceased had been member OF the
fire department for years, the last four o.
which he was plugman. He has always
ranked rs a good man on the foTce, and
always ready al the call OF duty.
