THEY WENT STUNNING
Ladies of the Rescue Home Visit the Shady
Places of the City.

Last night Officer Dunbar escorted
some fifteen men and women connected
with rescue work in this city on elum-
ming expedition. The party was led by
Mrs. Edholm who is now working in
this city in the interest of a rescue
home
The first house reached was 1S3 North
Wichita street. where a large portly
woman presented herself at window
and stated that she did not desire any
visitors. God bless you, sisters" she
said, "I would have no objection
against your coming in, but 1 am here
alone"
"But. my dear sister. can't We reach
your hearth said Mrs. Edholm.
AZ am afraid not" said the woman
whose profile was seen inside the
screens.
"Do you desire to live this way all the
time?" asked Mrs. Edholm.
az don't know" was the reply. IT ex-
pect WILL
The party then kneIt on the green
lawn and offered prayer followed by the
singing OF a hymn.
The next house north was then visited
and a light haired girl with two large
white teeth In the front or her mouth
opened the door about six inches Mrs.
Edholm put her face to the opening and
talked a few minutes to her. Then an
other little woman with dark hair join
ed Mrs. Edholm and shed tears as she
spoke. The girl on the inside listened to
their conversation without saying
much and Mrs. Edholm says there were
tears in her eyes as she acknowledged
n or clax n 10 oh a
and had Christian mother.
The party then prayed for the girl and
went to the next house north where
their knocks met with no response and
the lights had been put out

South Fourth avenue where he turned
them over to officer Sutton at a late
hour.

Hon. Temple Houston Of woodward,
Oklahoma, and Hon. Roy Hoffman OF
Guthrie were in the city last night, re-
turning from the territorial Democratic
convention at Oklahoma City.
Mr.. Houston walked into the Carey
with his grip in his hand and as he ap-
preached the register and signed his
name the attention of every man IN the
hotel was attracted to the most unique
and picturesque character of all Okla
homa
When a reporter for the Eagle met
them, both were feeling very well over
the result of the convention, for Mr..
Houston was one Of the six delegates
elected 10 the Chicago conven ton. There
is hardly a doubt but what he will be
the leader Of the delegation.
When asked for some news about the
convention, Mr. Houston said: I'VE
had quite lively time, but we really
cannot give you anything more about
it than you had this morning The re-
port in the Eagle covered all the de-
tails very thoroughly. 1 cannot think
Of thing 10 add to what the Eagle
had"
You administration fellows were
badly used up" was the suggestion
made to Roy Hoffman by the reporter.
Well, l don't know that we were, !"
replied Roy. I admit that the thing
was little mixed, but We didn't get
the worst Of it any more than the anti
administration fellows. AS your pa
per suggests this morning the little
fight hurt fellows on both sides. The
resolutions were a little against US, be-
cause they do not endorse the admins
tration, but when we remember that
the two most conspicuous enemies of
the administration in the territory got
1t in the neck pretty badly, 1 don't see
any occasion to weep and feel bad
ITO whom do you refer?'
''Why, to 10 Wisby and Ed Dunn, OF
course. Did you observe how they got
Ii when the baby got the firsh bone. or
to be more plain, when the Thanksgiv
ing gobbler got the broad-axe. l do
not mention this in any spirit of ill-feel-
ing towards the two Democratic broth
ers and only refer TO 1t to show that
the anti-administration fellows came
out Of the fight as badly disfigured as
the so-called administration crowd"
IT want TO say, now that the fight is
over, and that the next thing we want
to do is to get together for the cam
paign this fall. Happily, the conven-
ton developed one man that we could
all agree upon for delegate to Chicago,
and a man that we all know can win
the fight"
''Who is that man?"
HE comes from the broad plains from
the far west, from the right stock and
his name is Temple Houston, Of Wood
ward county. He is a man who will
heal all sores and lead us on to victory
as a reunited Democracy. We need
only to mention his name; it Is, in Itself,
an argument that settles any contro-
versy as TO Variability"

OBITUARY OF JENNIE CHRIsroPHEP

Died-At her home in Wichita, May
%. 1896, Jennie c. Christopher, aged IS.
Jennie, in the bloom Of youth, but a
few days ago, it seems, stood among
US; her lively nature wooing the smiles
OF appreciative friends and driving from
where'ere she went the clouds of duh
sorrow and care.
She has gone with her bloom from
the gaze OF human eyes. Soft blue
eyes that made it springtime TO our
hearts are seen no more. We have
loved the light of many a smile that
has faded from us now; and in our
hearts has fingered a sweet voice that
now is hushed in the silence OF death
A seat IS left vacant in our earthly
home, which none again can fill.
Memory turns with lingering regret
TO recall those smiles and the loved tone
of her dear familiar voice. In fancy.
she is often by our side, but her home il
on brighter shore. She visits US in
our dreams, floating over our memory
ike q shadow over rnoonlit waters.
When the heart is weary with anguish
and the soul Is bowed with grief. she
comes and whispers sweet thoughts o,
comfort and hope. She hovers round
US, the ethereal, dear, departed Jen-
ME. The loving and the loved, she
watches with eyes that slumber not.
She tells Of sunny realms ne'er viewed
by mortal eyes-of forms arrayed in
fadeless beauty-and lofty anthems to
her great Creators praise are sounded
forth in sweet seraphic numbers. And
this bright vision OF the blest dissolves
the tumult Of LIES Earring scenes: they
fade in air. and then we glory in the
thought that we are heirs OF immortaH-
~.
A Joyous strain from the angel hand
Was heard in Heaven last night,
As the pesrly gates We're open wide,
To admit our darling bright
Another harp 10 the heavenly choir,
Was added az eventi6e;
a starry crown was placed OF the brow
OF our darling Jennie that died.
On that pure young brow the Father had
The seal of her Ssviour's love;
So gladly they came and bore her away,
To the shining realms above.
4 happy thronE have gathered round,
Close by the Sav.our's side.
As the angels shouted. Welcome homer
To our darling Jennie that died.
The little bark was quietly moored
IN the haven OF quiet rest
On the shining shore OF the happy land.
Among the pure and hlest.
But there are QuiVerlng lips an6 th-c5-
bling brows.
And hearts with pain are tired.
IN the lonely home. where sorrow reigas.
Where our darling Jennie died

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Suicide OF a weu-Remembered Charac-

suicide OF Well-Remembered ChRrRc-
ter.
Chester E. Carey, SO, widely known
printer, committed suicide Saturday night
at Hanover, N. H., by shooting through
the head. Many of the older residents
here will remember Carey. He came here
from Lempster, N. H., to learn the prin-
ter's trade in the Times office under A. N.
Swain. He was Douglas Democrat, and
finally went over to copperheadism, and
began carrying Mr.. SWANS private cor
respondence to the Office of the Argus, the
Democratic newspaper. Mr.. Swain at
length exposed this scheme by using de-
coy letter. Carey was discharged from the
Times office and the story of his intrigue
with the Argus was exploited at length in
the Times, and was one of the sensations of
the latter part of 1862. After the exposure
Carey entered the Argus office, and he
went from here to Montpelier when that
paper was moved there. Mr.. Lawrence,
the long time pressman in the Argus office,
recalls the time when Carey raised a rebel
flag over the office at Montpelier. For
this he was kicked out of the Office, but he
returned to finish his work there. He is
said to have established the Littleton, N.
H., Republic. Owing 10 indulgence in
drink he was known as an eccentric Char
acter.
