WAS A ROARING SUCCESS.
Auditorium Concert Last Night Caught
Like Wildfire.

The Whitman Jubilee singers sang
last night to a packed house and while
heretofore they had done splendidly,
this time they covered themselves with
glory.
The opening chorus: "Star Spangled
Banner" sung by the whole troupe ac.
companied by the Pickaniny band and
piano was received with thunderous ap-
plause.
Little Essie sang "a Begger Am l."
for the first time in Wichita, and as
result received a large and exquisite
floral Offering. Upon the whole the
concert was a roaring success.
AT the conclusion Evangelist Whit
man announced that a special servoce
would be held for the old soldiers this
morning at IL o'clock, at which time
he would preach sermon to them and
his singers would render special pro-
gram, assisted by the orchestra. He
cordially invited all the friends of the
old heroes to attend.
In the afternoon at o'clock he said
Mrs. Whitman would conduct a song
service assisted by the Jubilee singers
and orchestra.
At night he would give sacred con-
cert, embracing many favorite selec>
tions, among them he mentioned Little
Essie would sing Flee As a Bird" and
My Redeemer," Mr.. Wall Guide Me
oh. Thou Great Jehovah" Mr. White
field Calvary" and the Palms
C'Come Thou Fount of Eevry Bless
ing" with humming chorusl, Will be
sung with Miss Alice Adams singing
the solo. Misses May and Essie will sing
I've Christ what Want i More and
a number Of other grand choruSes as
sisted by the Wichita orchestra with
Prof. Dardis as musical director.
In view Of the fact that there would
be such jam at night and that he had
yet 70 gather much expenses. Mr.. Whit
man said he would ask a small fee at
the door at night. The same as at
other concerts.

DUDE WAS TOO SMART.
He Gets into Trouble in Oklahoma while
Passing Though.

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. IA scene was
enacted on the southbound Fanta Fee
train Thursday night which was laugh
able to all who witnessed it and humili-
ating to the star player.
A. /. Mood of New York. a member
of the Calumet club and one of Goth
ans swell set, was aboard the train
en- route for Texas for a pleasure trip.
At Perry band of Otoe Indians board
ed the train, and young Mood, whose
brain was fired with Cooper's poor 10
tales, got very gay and offered them
flask of whisky with the remark: Oh
your cowboy laws" The Indians took
the whisky with avidity and to the in
tense delight of the clubman. While
he was enjoying the scene Deputy Unit
ed States Marshal overly, who was sit
ting near and witnessing the transac-
ton, quietly arose from his seat and
stepping up to Mood quietly said: II
want you When the train reached
Guthrie Mood was lodged in the federal
Jail. Yesterday he Was taken to New
kirk where a large juicy hole was
punched in his wallet by the officials
of Uncle Sam. Mood will no doubt be
in a mood to tell some narrowing tales
of his experiences when he returns 10
New York.

SHE WAS HOWLING DRUNK.
1t Was Thought She Was Full of Poison
hut III Was Whisky

Something in the neighborhood of an
average baseball attendance gathered
near the union depot last night, being
called there by the usual sign that
proceeds the pulling of joint. A po-
liceman hit the iron post as call for
other officers and in two minutes east
Douglas avenue was blockaded with pc
destrians, teams, drays and bicycles,
for joint pulling seems to have more
attractive force than fire. 1t was not
a joint pulling, but report of a suicide
from Fourth avenue When the po-
l1cemen, doctors and people fiocked TO
the place indicated the woman who
was supposed to he shutting off morta
coil was simply drunk. 1t was not
common every day drunk but one of
those old fashioned bowling drunks
that disturbs the night air and the
peace of the neighborhood. Since the
joints were closed a disreputable char
acter on the avenue put in a stock OF
drinks and her patrons are women
who are lured 70 the place by the usual
enticing methods and the drink does
the rest

HE LOST HIS WAD.
He Wandered From the Middle of the
Road to His Sorrow.

The son of one OF the first houses IN
Gypsum township made his way 10 the
Eagle office last night TO lay his griev
ances before the reporter and accept
his consolation He came 20 town yes
terday with a mixed load OF wheat and
oats and sold IL for the hard cash. On
his way out OF the city for home he
yelled 10 the temptation Of a friend TO
get something 10 drink and he agreed
TO spend the price of a bushel Of wheat
for that purpose. A man was handy
who could take them where they could
find liquor and they found il in shan
" down near Mosely avenue and Doug
las. II was quite exhilerating, but IL
soon put the honest son of toll TO sleep
and when he caught onto his senses
again the price Of the load Of corn was
gone and he found himself six blocks
away with his team tied 10 telegraph
pole and entirely unable 10 find the
house where he went TO get the liquor.
He says he was drugged.

NJ. Il. Burns Tells About Crops in the Stat,

NJ. +. Barnes of this city has re-
turned after two months visit TO
Michigan and the first thing to sur
prise him on his return was the i'm
mense corn crop.
Il have been in the state Of Michi-
gan, said Mr.. Barnes last night. for
the past two months and am in a po-
sitlon 70 speak OF the crops in that
state. The weather during the time L
was there was very dry and / do not
believe they have one ard a half inch
es OF rain in two months,
They had from a half TO two-thirds
of a wheat crop and but little more
than quarter of crop OF corn. |
heard IL many times remarked that
Michigan would have TO feed Kansas
corn next winter.
Since coming back home / have
heard farmers predicting fifteen cents
for corn: Il is something | can nor
understand If there is any occasion for
Kansas farmers selling corn for fiftesn
cents this year.
The whole country has not raised
a crop OF corn like Kansas has done.
and there viii be a demand for ali
the corn that Kansas farmers ought
sell and more too.'

NOT MENACED By DROUTH.
In Three States the Corn Crop Ii Safe and
Kansas is One of Them.


Kansas City, Aug. 1.-THE Modern
Miller in this weeks edition will say of
the crop outlook: Reports continue to
represent the grade of wheat as very
poor but holds out the encouragement
that dry weather and thorough clean
ing will help the grade somewhat.
Correspondents in the Ohio valley
states, Michigan, portions of Iowa and
a large area in Nebraska report dam
age to corn from dry weather. Nebras-
ka fields have suffered morethan those
of any other state, it being conceded
by correspondents representing not less
than twenty-five counties in that state
that the corn crop would not yield
more than one-fourth to one-half an
average harvest, Kansas, Missouri
and Illinois are about the only corn
states in which the plant is
not menaced by drouth. Soaking rains
will overcome most of the damage and
avert that threatened in states east of
Nebraska and localities in Iowa, the
damage in the latter quarter being COM
plete as far as it has extended.
Oats threshing reports are favorable
except in localities where wet weather
has interfered with operations.

New York. Aug. 1.-THE stock mar
ket opened today quiet and generally
fraction higher. The usual raid on To-
bacco was soon begun and decline fol-
lowed of 3s per cent with a rally Of Is
per cent. The preferred eased off IL
per cent. Manhattan, which has also
been under pressure OF late, yielded Il.
cent and recovered 3 per cent. The
heaviness of these shares did not in
fiuence the generald speculation and
values appreciated under the leader
ship Of Chicago Gas, which gained is
per cent. Oregon Short Line and
Leather preferred improved 4 per cent
each. The market closed dull and firm
with most of the stocks traded in a
fraction above last nights figures while
Leather preferred gained per cent and
Chicago Gas rs per cent. Brooklyn
Elevated broke Is per cent.
The volume Of business for the week
shows decline compared with that Of
the preceding six days, which were
among the dullest of the year. This
stagnation is TO 'be accounted for part
~ by the absence from the street on va
cations of many Of the leading opera
tors but the transactions are also re-
stricted by reason of the uncertainty
and the immediate future Of the ex-
change market. These questions at
present have more influence upon the
share speculation than any other and
speculartorS are carefully watching for
indications of a return of ease in the
foreign exchange market and conse-
quently for the cessation of gold ex-
ports. There is little to be feared in the
outflow of few millions of gold with
in the next few weeks or in the loss Of
some Of the treasury gold reserve. Crop
reports during the week were conflict
ing and fears of frost in the corn belt
brought about selling Of the Changers
but mainly for the short account. Ru-
mors were current al one time that an
amicable adjustment had been reached
in the anthracite coal roads differences
and rapid appreciation in the values
Of those shares took place but the state
ments proved to be unfounded and a re-
action ensued. The alleged proposed
organization of an opposition to the To-
bacco trust, the avowed intention OF the
attorney general of Illinois TO push his
suit against the trust and the heavy
selling of the shares by a prominent
bear operator tended TO create an I'M
easy feeling among holders of the stock
and slump followed of 10 per cent. to
104 per cent, with recovery of only n
per cent The general market was
without features and prices moved ir-
regularly but the losses are more nu-
merous than the gains.
Bonds today were quiet and irregu-
lar but the more important changes are
gains. The sales We're S50S, 900.
The bond operations of the week re-
suited in but slight changes. The spec
ulation was characterized by consider
able strength in the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon Navigation issues. The
sales were 1851, 900 and 240 bonds fig
ured in the transactions.
