KIRK ON TRIAL
4,149 Citizens of Wichita and
Surrounding Towns
Receive Free Sample Package at
the Eagle Office of His Mar
velOus Discovery.
"RAIN WATER MAKE r.

Kinks bold and liberal manner in
proving to the public the merit Of his
preparation meets with unqualified ap-
prevail. James S. Kirk & Co. an
nounced that they would give away,
absolutely free. from the Eagle Office,
10000 packages of his new discovery,
Rain Water Maker" requesting the
newspapers of this city to investigate
and publish the results in each case, as
reported to them, either good or bad
In this way Mr.. Kirk proposed to
prove the efficacy of his discovery be-
fore asking tie public to spend one
penny.
Never before in the history of this
country has there been chemist or
company who dared to risk their repu-
tation in an actual test by the people.
This gave the public confidence in
them.
On Monday 2,1s1 samples were given
away; on Tuesday 1853 were handed
out, and today over 1000 persons are
testing the discovery of James S. Kirk
& Co, which is bound to revolutioniZe
an water used for washing purposes of
ali descriptions.
During the last year James S. Kirk
q Co have given out many thousand
packages, and, remarkable as it may
seem, in not one single instance have
they heard anything but praise from
the lips Of those who gave the prepara-
ton trial. Kirk is probably the most
talked about man in the country to-
day. and why should he not be? Any
man who was enabled to invent sim
pie, harmless little powder that would
change the drudgery of wash day into
a day of comparative ease for the
housewife and has been the means of
saving many dollars to single families
in the course of single month as a re-
suit Of saving in soap and the wear and
tear Of wearing apparel would natural
ly become popular
Kinks Rain Water Maker" not only
prepares the water so that half the la
Dor is saved, but clothes are sweeter
and cleaner after being washed in the
velvety water prepared by Kirk

Kinks RAIN WATER MAKER
The Many Purposes for Which 1t Was
Designed.

Mr.. Kirk and his representatives are
frequently asked the question, rs your
rain water maker simply a hard water
softener?" We answer emphatically,
No" Kinks new scientific discovery
not only softens instantly the hardest
water, but is equally valuable in rain
or cistern water, as it renders all wa
ter soft and velvety. Clothes washed
in this preparation are much sweeter
and whittier and will hold color from
running in printed goods; prevents
blueing from curdling in water; pre-
vents fiannels from shrinking.
For the bath or toilet it is indespensa-
bic. Accelerating the action of the soap,
giving the skin a healthy glow and
helping to remove any superf1uous ex-
cTetions that may adhere to the body
For dishes and general washing pur-
poses it is very essential.
Kinks Rain Water Maker is abb
solutely harmless and must not be con-
founded with soap powders, as it con-
tains no soap, I've, ammonia. borax, lime
or any deleterious ingredients, and
saves So per cent of soap and go per cent
Of labor. Kinks Rain Water Maker"
can be had of all grocers, 25c per two
pound package. that goes six times as
far as any similar preparation on the
market today.

Nashville, June 1S.-The event of Van
derbilt commencement was the address
Of Chauncey n. Depew at the taberna-
Gle tonight delivered before an immense
audience The address was to have been
delivered at the Venlome theatre, the
largest in the city, but its capacity was
not equal to the demand for seats and
the tabernacle was selected On the
platform were assembled the university
faculty and prominent citizens and the
audience was a magnificent one. Uu-
on being introduced Mr.. Depew was rec
eived with overwhelming applause and
during his address was freely and spon-
taneously greeted with cheers.
He said in part:
Ladies and Gentlemen-It has long
been question whether perfect happi-
ness is possible in this world. Human
liabilities causes sudden jars on the
most joyous occasions. The nearest ap-
proach to the complete realization Of
actual and Ideal pleasure comes with
commencement day for the college
man. He passes the fieeting hours in
a flood of delightful recollections or
glorious anticipations. To the faculty,
it is the hour Of intense qualification
when the ingenious youth whom they
receive at their hands the degree of
honor and excellence, and go out to be
useful to their country and reflect hon
or upon their university. To the alum
nj, coming back from the cares and du-
ties of their distant homes. it is a re-
newal of the sacred associations and the
recalling of the best days Of their lives.
For the graduate, it is the supreme mo-
ment of his existence. He has reached
the pinnacle which he will never attain
again. He vii nver know so much and
think SO highly of himself as when he
receives the applaudts of admiring
friends and sympathiZing spectators
while he mounts the commencement
stage. The very air which he breatles
from the campus and from the old
rooms and halls is full of inspiration.
There is no parallel in the material
world to this advent of the student into
the realities of a career except the
launching of a ship. AS the blocks

from the seaboard that there was a
