/ A southern Kansas mystery Of twenty
four years standing was probably solv-
ed at Waukomis, Oklahoma, yesterday
according to reports brought here last
night from that place.
The story goes that Thomas ]. Blake
a farmer living near that place while
working in the fields yesterday ran
across what seemed 10 be grave.
He renlOved only about a foot of dirt
when he discovered the skeletons of
three men and a boy that, from every
indication, had been buried there for
a long time.
Such a discovery IN a small place, Of
course, causes a good deal of excite
ment and this was no exception to the
rule.
Waukomis, although a small place,
has good many people there who have
lived on the border for long time and
when they got their heads together
and talked over the matter they conclu-
ded that the skeletons found were all
that remained Of three brothers named
Fowler, and the fourteen year old
boy OF one of them, who started out
from SCaldwell in 1871 and had never
been heard Of since.
There are many people still living
mere anu III ldCl al over southern Kan
saS and Oklahoma who will remember
the mysterious disappearance of the
Fowler brothers.
In the spring of 1871 they started
out from Caldwell with four teams
heavily loaded with government freight
for Fort Reno or Fort Sill.
They were gone a long time when the
people began to ask what had become
of them.
Shortly the government agents began
to investigate their absence and why
the freight, consisting of corn and oats
was not delivered.
Some thought they had went in an
other direction, sold the freight to
ranchers and fled the country with the
proceeds.
Very few however, advanced this
theory which, in time, was exploded
altogether by man named Morris
Of this city who met them in the trail
near where Enid now is.
The next theory was that they were
killed by the Indians and robbed, but
that theory did not pan out as the most
dilgent search among the Indians fail
ed to discover either the teams or gov
eminent supplies that they carried. Be
sides their bodies were not found by
anybody. OF course the Indians a that
time were bad and many murders were
committed by them, but as they never
buried the bodies of their victims their

BIG DISGUST ON.
Things Didn't Pan Out According as the
Wires were Laid.

There seems to be new element ad-
ded to the anti-prohibton force. The
fellows who expected to be appointed
police commissioners and who had
their friends so industriously writing
letters to the governor bewailing the
immortality and crime that ran ram
pant in our city, together with the
crowd OF fellows who expected to get
place on the police force, and more
especially he background manipula-
tors who had the wires laid TO name the
city marshal through whom they were
to get their old pull from the act
ions and talk of the combined elements
1t would seem that somebody had gone
wrong. that the thing in failing to
connect hadn't worked right, and deep
and sore is the disgust of this hungry
crew, who would sell their birthright
for pottage.

Then when the reporter thanked Miss
| Gould, and added that it must be very
| annoying to a young woman TO be
| bothered with newspaper reporters she
| laughed and said:
Not at all; / am glad you called"
| Miss Helen wore black dress, white
waist and a jaunty little round hat.
There were no diamonds or anything
about her to indicate that she was the
richest young woman in America
When talking she looks one square in
the eyes as if she would read the mean
ing Of words there, and there is a kind
ly, intelligent expression in her own
black eyes.
People doubtless imagine that the
stories of Miss Helen Gould's charit-
able acts originated mostly in the print
ing offices, but when one has seen her il
is easy to believe that they are ia cts
instead of fables.
There is that something in her eyes
and every expression that never fails
to indicate the kindly, generous heart
within and her quiet modesty will COM
mand respect for her in any civilized
country in the world.
It was nearly l o'clock when Miss
Gould entered her car, and the richly
furnished table in the Atlanta bore evil
oence that dinner was ready.
When the train pulled out from the
Twelfth street depot Miss Gould sur
rounded by several of her party stood
on the rear platform Of the Atlanta
and waved adieu to the reporter and
two or three Missouri Pacific en-
ployees on the depot platform.
The party were out for pleasure and
they seemed to be having it. They pass
through the country in day light and
stop at some town at night
When the reporter was talkink to
Miss Gould, Engineer Healey looked
over the cab on the big engine No. Pa
and smiled
He had told the reporter for the
Eagle at the Second street depot that
no newspaper man had ever had
chance to speak to Miss Gould since
she left New York, and he had exacted
a promise from the reporter to send
him paper to St. Louis in case
he succeeded in getting Miss Gould
to talk.

The Pasteur Filter.

One of the most striking exhibits, both
by reason of its favorable location near
the main entrance of the Pavilion, and
the very general interest felt in the subject
is that of the Pasteur Cham berland water
filter. One of the first stops the visitor
max es is to inspect a couple of glass jars,
into each of which thin stream of water
is flowing. One overilows with filtered
water of crystal clearness, and the other
with a comparatively uninviting muddy
fluid, straight Sacramento. The Pasteur
filter is absolutely germ proof, being
made of unglazed porcelain, baked at
high temperature. and as used by the cele-
brated DIR. Pasteur OF Paris in his labora-
tories. 1t is made in varying sizes for
family or individual use, and may be
bought outright or rented by the month.

This year, as usual, the magnificent
display of carriages of A. Meister Il Sons
attracts great deal of attention. There
is a degree of finish about the vehicles of
the Meister manufacture which seems to
be possessed by those of no other make.
1t may be because the position OF the ex
hibit is exceptionally advantageous, it
being the first thing to strike the eye
upon entering the Pavilion, or it may be
that they are cared for more scrupulously.
The Meister carriages shine with excep-
tional splendor. The facts that nothing
but the best materials are used and that
they are made right here in Sacramento
has given these carriages favor at home
and made them deservedly popular. The
vehicle which is most noticed of the ex-
hibit is the handsome funeral director s
coupe built to order for Coroner George
II. Clark. 1t has ballbearing axles and
rubber tires, being the first coupe to be
thus equipped west OF the Rocky Mount

THOSE ELEGANT PIANOS.
Nothing Like Them Ever Seen in This
City Before.

Our reporter improved an opportunity
last evening to look at the fine new stock
of pianos now selling at Hammers S music
store. $50 J street. by the w. w. Kimball
Co. of Chicago The store was crowded
with admiring visitors.
1t would be useless TO attempt descrip-
ton of the beautiful pianos.
They are the most artistic work possible
in antique oak of marvellous beauty, rose
wood, French walnut, Circassian walnut,
mahogany and Burl walnut finish.
They far surpass any stock of pianos
we have ever seen anywhere and are all
bright and new from the factories.
Kimball pianos are among the most
celebrated in the world. having taken the
highest honors al the Worlds Fair in
Chicago. and this stock is the finest and
best in the history of their world wide
business. Prices are astonishingly low
and terms easy.
All persons interested in the high art
will be edited and delighted to step in
and look at their wondrous beauty,
whether you wish to buy or not. You
will find all the gentlemen in charge very
courteous and attentive.

IN THE ART GALLERY.
What the Art Schools Here and at ,
Francisco Have Produced.

What the Art Schools Here and at San
Francisco Have Produced.
Concluding our notes In the Art Cal
lery, it remains TO be said that from the
artists standpoint there is much in the
gallery of Indifferent character and some
that is simple daubery. But at fair such
as this art paintings and drawings are
not hung under the rules that obtain in a
regular art exhibition. 1t would be pos
sible to apply such rules of course, but it
has never been the policy of the State
Board of Agriculture, nevertheless this
year some thirty pieces were refused ad-
mission.
We think that the money set aside to
compensate for exhibiting should be all
lotted only to those whose works pass
the examination of a competent hanging
committee. But the art rules should not
be so rigid as In regular art ex hlbltloD.
The amateur class should have far more
latitude in State Fair ex hibit, and for
obvious reasons, but the order of work
that would disgrace an amateur who does
work fit TO receive any sort of recogni-
tion, should be excluded. 1t is no kind
ness whatever to daubSters TO permit
them to make exhi bition of their incom-
potency. On the contrary, II is cruelty
TO them, to say nothing of the public.
But it must be borne in mind that all
artists, however eminent, passed thu ough
The amateur stage Of art infancy.
But there should be a much sharper
line drawn between amateurs and artists
at the fair exhibition. As II Is now, who
ever chooses to declare himself or herself
sn artist is permitted TO do so. AS re-
suit, there are this year at the fair but
five entries in the amateur class, when
there should have been twenty.
In concluding these notes il is fitting to
refer 10 the work of the two Schools of
Design in the State. 4 very large num-
ber of the best works in the gallery are
the result OF the genius and skill Of those
who had their initial training in the San
Francisco School of Design. These are
quite too numerous, indeed, TO completely
name. nor could we do so with accuracy.
But that school has in the last twenty five
years turned out products that honor art
and the State. We may mention some
OF the more prominent names in Califor-
MIA art that have had the San Francisco
school as their alma mater, such as
John \. Stanton, W. +. Jackson, T..
Piexotto, Alice Chittenden, Isabel Hun
