as rast as they could swallow. they de-
manded the use Of the pool table. Ny
self and three other fellows were play
ing at the time, but we gave it right
up without a protest, for those cow
boys had their pistols in their hands
and they looked ugly. The attendant
placed the balls in hurry and offered
each of the cowboys q cue. They
took the cues and hit him couple of
raps over the head with the heavy ends
of them. whereupon he got down be-
hind the bar and did not say another
word. Then those cowboys threw the
cues out of the window and drew their
guns and began shooting the balls into
the pockets.
We'll, sir. you can better believe 1t
was the prettiest shooting a man ever
saw. They played a regular game,
each taking his turn and making his
run just as you would with cues. OF
course. when they hit ball square the
bullet would shatter it to pieces. but
they were clever enough not to break
more than one or two in the whole
game. They would shoot glancing
shots, just nipping the balls on the
edges and whirling them of into the
pockets almost every time. They made
double shots and single shots and bank
shots and all kinds Of shots. The pro-
prietor began to get nervous for his
table, for. OF course. every shot went
through the edge of it, and he yelled
from behind the bar for some
"A 1,,,%
ball in his direction which clipped on
the tip of his ear and he got down be-
hind the bar and stayed there. The
rest of us. seeing we were not in dan
ger, stood around and watched the
game. Well, sir, those fellows cleared
the tables in about two rounds apiece
and then set the balls up again for
another game. don't know how long
it would have lasted il it had not beef
for an accident"
What was the accident"
why, one of them tried a little too
fine work The balls had been scat
tered all around the edge of the table.
He said he could shoot a curve which
would send them all into the pockets
at once. He put his pistol down on
the table and fired. 1t was a beauti-
full shot, and it did what he said it
would, but he miscalculated on one
thing"
"Yes?"
"You see the pistol bail, after max.
Ing the complete circuit Of the table
and driving all the balls into the
pockets, naturally came back where it
started from, and that was the cow
boys own gun. 1t entered the barrel
and smashed the pistol, and so the
game had to stop."-Buffalo Express

COLE WILL STAY LONGER.
Some Interesting Experiences We're
lated at the Revival Meeting

Some Interesting Experiences We're Re-
lated at the Revival Meeting.
The lecture by Jenness Miller did not
make any perceptible difference in the
attendance at Major Coles meeting at
the First Presbyterian church. The
crowd was a little less dense about the
doors. than the previous night but all
the seats in the body of the church and
in the three galleries were taken.
Tom Shaw read a petition signed by
mary business men, converted and I'M
converted, asking Major Cole to stay
with us until Wichita for Christ
shall be a fact. The audience respond
ed by rising to their feet TO signify
their desire that the evangelist should
continue his leadership Of the great
work now under way.
FriZell the candy man" gave his tes-
timony that the Lord had made it plain
TO him that his store should be closed
on Sundays and henceforth the doors
of his store will be found locked from
Saturday night until Monday morning.
Charlie Nesley brought some conster-
nation 10 certain members of the audi
ence by saying from the platform that
there were fify men present who had
played cards with him and more than
that number who had seen him drink.
but that he had touched his last card
and drank his last drop.
Mr.. Hugh FORMER testified that for
thirty years he had made infidelity a
study with the purpose of ridiculing
Christians and Christianity but rejoic-
ed that now he was saved.
The meetings are steadily increasing
in interest and power.
Afternoon meetings are being held in
all parts OF the city. This afternoon at
o'clock meetings will be held in the
Oak street Presbyterian, United Pres
byterian and Emporia avenue Baptist
and Emporia avenue NJ. (. churches

OUR NEW POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
Their Names and Characters Constitute
Their Defense and Insure Govern
ment Free From Scandal.


Touching the police government of
the city, the desires of the Eagle are
well known. The wishes Of the Eagle
in this direction are also those CT
great majority not only of the Republic
cans of the city but OF a great major
ity of the taxpayers and of the people.
Decency and honesty are demanded.
To enforce these in the absence of all
scandal and free from all suspicion of
boodling, blackmailing and general
crookedness and cussedness. it is only
necessary to have a police commission
made up of men OF such business and
social standing as to render their char
acter unassailable and they in turn TO
select for their executive and judicial
officers men of known efficiency and
integrity: select them without social
fear or political favor; select them with
but the sole object in view Of giving
the city the best government possible,
in which government every officer shall
do hise whole duty, that every cent of
the revenues shall be faithfully collect
ed and openly accounted for, with no
favoriteism upon the one hand, black
mailing upon the other or scandal any
where.
It is unnecessary for the Eagle to tell
who the new commissioners are or TO
vouch for their character as men or as
citizens. No man or woman Will be
compelled to ask as to the one or TO
question the other; their names and
standing as men constitute their own
defense. C. NJ. Jones, A. c. Husey and
George L. Pratt are not only entitled TO
the respect and confidence of the people
of this city, but we have not the least
doubt their hands will be upheld in
giving us police administration OF
affairs above criticism

SAYS IL WAS FOSTER.
Deputy Sheriff johnson Tells Something
About Liquor Prosecutions.

Deputy Sheriff Johnson raised little
breeze in the district court room yes
terday after adjournment for the noon
hour. 1t was not a regular cyclone of
wrath but rather a strong breeze like
a Kansas Zypher.
The case of the state against John
Goodyear and Captain Foster for SELL
ing intoxicating liquors had just been
disposed of by allowing Goodyear and
Foster to plead guilty TO one count
Then johnson charged o. H. Bentley
with having advised Mrs Goodyear TO
bring these cases and afterward ap-
pearing to defend Goodyear and Foster
Johnson further declared that Ben
tley had taken thirty dollars to settle
the cases and that he gave County At
torney Boone the money and instead of
dismissing the cases Boone had held it
over them and by promising Captain
Foster immunity had induced him to
work up a number of cases against
other liquor men.
Mr.. Bentley seemed to regard the
matter lightly and Mr.. Johnson says
the only thing that Bentley denies is
that he gave Boone the $50 but that in
stead he only gave him $50.

JUSTICE. SHOW YOUR DOCKET.
County Commissioners Want to Know
Something About Fines Collected.

At meeting OF the county commits
sioners Yesterday Mr.. Harmon offered
a resolution that the county attorney
be requested 10 examine all the 6ockets
of Justices of the Peace in this county
and ascertain the amount OF money
collected in the way of fines and what
amounts have been handed over 10 the
school fund or 10 the county.
II is Gained that some or the justices
hand over such fines 10 the county
while others have neglected to do SO.
This resolution is for the purpose OF
ascertaining whether the justices who
have not handed over any money nave
collected any fines. This viii impose
quite a task on the county attorney out
the commissioners are of the opinion tnat
he can appoint deputy 20 90 the Work
in case his other duties occupy ms en-

CASEY GETS LEFT
DECISION IN FAMOUS CASEY d.
VORCE CASE Is GIVEN.
Judge Reed Refuses to Grant Mr.. Casey .
Diyorce-Mrs.- Casey Will Hear From
Her Claim for Alimony-A Quiet Air of
Satisfaction Characterizes the Little
Woman Who Made . Gallont Fight
The Verdict Did Not Seem to Surprise
Anybody-wm Never Make Up Now
Miss Stanley's Friends Stick to Her.


Miss stanley's Friends Stick to Her.
Judge Reed has rendered his decision
in the Casey divorce case. 1t was TO
the effect that Mr.. Casey be not grant
ed a divorce and that Mrs. Casey's
claim for alimony will be determined
later.
When Judge Reed delivered his opin-
ion yesterday morning there were a
number of spectators present but Meth
Mr.. or Mrs. Casey was among the num-
Der. Mrs. Casey came in a few minutes
later and the verdict seemed to be about
what she expected and Of course her ex-
preston was that of satisfaction.
The attorneys regarded the decision
as a victory for Mrs. Casey for the rea-
son that Casey had sued for a di, orce
and that Mrs. Casey had filed a cross
bill for alimony only and had not asked
for divorce. 1t is supposed that Judge
Reed desires TO know more of Mr.. Ca
sey's financial standing before he fixes
the amount of aiimony.
This case has attracted a good deal
of interest but those who knew most OF
the evidence were not surprised at the
ney and the opinion prevails that the
testimony was different from what Mr..
Casey expected and that he confidently
believes that he could make a strong
case.
Mr.. Casey did make a remarkable
showing but what hurt his case was
the showing of the defense. When d
man asks relief from court ne must
come with clean hands and knowing
-, <l-fz -
circumstantial evidence about Mr.. Ca
sey in which another woman was made
to appear.
The friends of Miss Flo Stanley seem
to have never deserted her even when
her parents denounced her actions, yet
in the face Of all this the defense sue
ceeded in forcing her to the front in a
way that was very damaging to Mr.. Ca
sey. Admitting Miss Stanley to be a
good and true woman and even then it
was generally admitted that the evil
dence brought out by the defense left
some ground for the suspicion that Mr..
Casey was influenced to bring his case
for divorce more by his admiration for
Miss Stanley than by the wrongs heap
ed upon him by his wife.
The fact of Mr.. Casey having been a
member of the school board had a good
deal to do in creating an interest in the
case from the start. 1t was frequently
remarked during the trial that If Mr..
Casey had never held an Office that very
few people would have been interested
in his domestic affairs and the public
at large would have never known that
Miss Flo Stanley was Mr.. Casey's type
writer.
The question was frequently asked
yesterday when the import of the de-
cision was learned 'Will Mr.. and Mrs.
again." Those who are best acquainted
with the parties answered "neyer!"
