Yesterday Davis & Blake. attorneys
for the plaintiff. fled a suit in the dis
| trict court asking for divorce for VIII
lam SHUTS from his wife grace Shuts.
The case IS a very peculiar one in
/ many respects as II involves a very dis
| gushing romance.
One of the worst prisoners that has
been in the county jail for a long time
was ]. W. Whitaker. who was convict
| ed OF stealing cattle and sentenced 70
| the penitentiary where he Is now con-
fined for one year. Before being taken
10 the pen he was confined in the coun-
| ty jail for several months.
| During a revival OF religion last win
ter many women felt that they had been
| specially called 10 visit the county
Jail to administer spiritual comfort to
| the prisoners.
Among the number was Mrs. Grace
| Shuts who. upon seeing, the chivalric
| Whitaker in his cell Ike a royal Bengal
| tiger Gagged, became infatuated with
| him.
| lnfatuation turned in desperate
| case OF love and thence into a still more
| desperate case OF foolishness.
| Mrs. Shuts was all the time after
| this gadding about the corridors OF the
! jail loving her imprisoned Romeo with
| vengence while her child was lying
| crying on the floor al home. This is no
| idle report; IL is the woeful tale her
| husband tells of her in his petition for
| a divorce.
When she could not go 20 his cell on
account OF jail decipline she scrawled a
paper full of loving nonsense to him in
txx-h rr.l ~
pressions as My dearest darling" "My
own sweet pet" and stuff like that I'm
agine how ridiculous such an outpour-
ing Is when penned to a Jail bird from
woman who had good husband and
a nice little baby that was still nursing
at her breast.
He replied in like manner in the fine
rich letter paper of the county with the
court house picture Autographed on the
| corner of it. He even brought the lit
the baby into his clandestine correspon-
dence and invariably addressed her las
my dear wife and baby" He talked OF
love in a poetic spirit that would lead
one 10 believe that he could never have
descended to such a vulgar thing as
stealing an old COW. He spun out nom
sense by the yard to her and she, doubt
less swallowed 1t all although at the
very same time he was writing similar
illusions to other women.
at first she began taking him dainties
at the expenses of her unsuspecting
husband and then she began 10 pluck
the feathers of the said husband and
gave them to her admirable Jail bird.
Yes, indeed, that same Grace Shuts
didn't do thing. according 10 the pa
pers in the case but take her husbands
fine four-in-hand necktie and give II 10
Whitaker to adorn his manly breast
with.
She did not stop at that. but she ac-
tually went and mortgaged the family
household goods to pay the attorney
fee for his defense in the district court.
This is the straw that broke the camers
back and which is very liza bic to break
the golden band that binds the hands.
though not the hearts. OF William and
Grace Shuts.

perhaps have paid the widow the $1,000
for our order because the father was
our brother. Then the little boy was
sent to school and the home was saved.
Our order has saved 100000 homes 10
| the people. An organization that
never failed to meet its obligations.
You may search the records of every
poor home in the land, and you will
| find in none OF them the name Of a
wife or child Of any man who died a
| member OF our order in good standing
Men have died in this city where fami-
! lies were prevented from appealing 10
| you for charity, and you know how
| sympa ghetto you are when you are APP
pealed to through the tax collection.
Grand Master Wallace was the next
! and last speaker. He said
Il nope you will give me your sym
pathy, for | assure you that il is no
| easy task to speak TO an audience after
| such speech as that TO which you
have just listened.
Il have been in Wichita before and
have been driven through your stree IS
and | have seen your schools and bust
ness houses; your shops and factories,
and l often think OF the story that 1
| once read about the eastern man who
came TO Wichita.
He remained here for a number of
years and then went back to visit his
old home. They took him out to show
| him the improvements that had been
| made since he left.
They showed him factory that had
been built. and he said it would not
compare with Wichita's packing house
They showed him a grand new
school house, but he told his former
friends and neighbors that it was not
in il with some of the school houses in
Wichita.
Then they showed him very large
house and wanted 10 know what he
thought of that, but he declared that
there were houses in Wichita one
room of which would hold that entire
building.
'Anw now the mans old friends
came TO the conclusion that he had
developed into a first-class Wichita liar
and they treated him to the lemonade,
but unknown TO him they put a stick in
that lemonade. You all know what
that means.
We'll, in a short time that Wichita
man became very drunk and fell into
a deep sleep. Those former neighbOrs
got an old cheap coffin and put that
Wichita man in it. They took him out
10 the grave yard and planted him in
the weeds, putting only a little dirt
over the coffin and left it partly open
SO he could brea the.
linen they hid IN the weeds to see
what he would do and say when he
awoke. After time ne began to kick
around and knocked the lid off the cof-
lin. He raised himself UP in a sitting
position and looked around very much
surprised. He then jumped out and
yelled, lit is resurrection day, and l am
the first man on the ground. Hurrah
for Wichitar
Now L never did blame that man. I
know what our order here has done"
He then spoke at considerable
length and told of many acts of charity
performed by the order and said there
were $1,000 of them in Kansas and that
they would number 10000 by the first
OF January next.
Grand Master Wallace was frequent
ly applauded, and when the meeting
closed the two speakers received the
congratulations Of the brotherhood.

or the Eagle.
IN MEMORY OF GLEN.

There are voices softly calling.
In the dawn of LIES bright day
Angels voices thro' whose guidance
Lingering footsteps never stray;
Voices loving, soft and gentle
In caressing accents tell
OF our merry days of childhood
That We all loved so We'll
There are guiding watchful voices
In the rosy days of youth.
Whispering words OF strength and
courage.
Pointing out the paths OF truth:
Voices patient, firm and pleading,
Breathing messages of love,
Helping us who are so weary
To gain the goal of rest above.
There are quiet, peaceful voices,
In the closing hours of life,
When our friend so highly cherished
Fled and vanished in the strife:
Voices happy in thanksgiving,
Looking backward DER the past,
Angel voices softly singing
You have come to US at last"

Deaf. Dumb and Blind

Down in Arkansas City the people
actually think il is a hard matter TO
get drink in Wichita if the reporter

imagination for the following publish
ed there yesterday.
Yesterday an Arkansas City man
was at Wichita and feeling badly.
wanted some beer. He visited several
places but got nothing Finally he
went to a lunch counter and asked for
a beer for the stomach's sake The
caterer said he had none except a
little for his own use but he would
give up a bottle for nothing. This
pleased the Arkansas City man. He
didn't care so he got his regular ra-
tons. While waiting he saw a walter
of the lunch counter PASS into the aiiav
He soon returned with a bottle under
his apron. The Sandhiller heard the
cork pulled and soon = large SCUM bowl
with spoon was placed in front Of
him and he proceeded n drink his
beer from soup bowl witha spoon.

HE WORE THE BLOOMERS,
Wichita Witnesses a Scene that Gave De-
light To the Kids.

Last night well known young man
rode down Main street and then east
on Douglas avenue logged out in a
suit of blooomers.
He created a profound sensation or
rather his boomers did for only very
few knew that he was man.
The fact is that nine tenths of the
pedestrians thought he was a woman
and hence his boomers Were CONNIE 1t
Ell on.
well, WELL" said one ancient look
ing woman, with surplus OF chin and
deficiency of teeth, as she gaZed
through her spectacles, what have we
an attorney general for, anyway"
and then a cruel young man hollered
Rubber neck greatly to the annoy
ance of the poor woman.
Il thought she said in a rage.
that when that Bill Tiger took charge
of things a respectable lady could walk
down town at night without being
insulted with such doings."
Her companion pulled at her dress
so vigorously that in a minute more
a suit of boomers would be d blessing
TO her.
Look out, there is the Eagle repor-
ter; he'll get your name in the paper"
said the companion in a whisper, but
il had no effect. The old lady was
wound up with a kick against bloom
CTS anu she pFtppSSu 10 SPEAK Gcr DliEu
Il do declare" she said, that if
| was Bill Tiger. or whatever they call
him. / would have that woman arrest
ed before she gets To the corner"
The reporter suggested with extreme
caution that the woman was a man
but that made the thing worse and
the old lady was only saved from
fainting by the timely disappearance
of the boomers arornd the corner.

lowed him and overlook him in front
OF Joe Aliens where he stopped 10 let

Are you woman or man?" he
was asked
Y am neither" he replied
What are You then?"
What are you wearing boomers
for?"
Just for fun"
What is there funny about them?"
The air. 1t rolls around my limbs
and keeps me nice and COOL"
DO You wear pants?"
NO sir. l have nothing on now but

"Arn't you afraid that Tiger Bul
Will get after you?"
No. / asked the police whether they
would object 10 me wearing bloomers
and they said they wouldn't I wish
those women wouldn't ruhber-neck al
ne so much"
The young man went on 70 describe
the sensation OF wearing boomers and
he said they were perfectly charming.
They give freedom 10 the limbs and
are always nice and COOL
What do yen think OF the Syrian
