Mrs. Lease at Wichita.


Mrs. Mary E. Lease was greeted last
week, Notwithstanding the inclem-
ency Of the weather, and the fact of
the citizens being worn out by the
two days convention, with an audi
ence that proved that TIE talented
Wichita lecturer is not without honor
in her own land.
Fully 1,200 of the most intelligent
and refined citizens of the'clty were
held as it were Spellbousd, nOtwith-
standing the uncOmfortableness of
the room, by her elOgueRce and fol-
lowed the speaker from the departure
OF the children OF Israel down to the
evening of March IL, 1896, as she drew
forth picture after picture from the
history of the past, and exhibited
them to her hearers Vanished by full
gent rays of cause and effect.
The groundwork was not the crea-
tion of a vivid imagination, but was
CLEANED from the pages of history
1t was not an appeal to pejudice, but
a presentation of illuminated facts
taken from the worlds history. Ii
was not in The sense Of a political
address, yet to the undiscerning it
might be said that political measures
were handled without gloves, aud the
remedy for the diseased political body
clearly pointed out according to the
ideas Of the speaker.

he seemed to be perfectly rational, no
objection was made. The lamp was
on a table close to the window on the
east side and in some manner the
table was upset. Mr.. Myers had the
syringe containing the morphine in
one iland and with the other caught

predicament, with both hands full,
Andrews raised the window and

"What Ais Us"

Friday night at the auditorium, not
withstanding the inclemency OF the
weather, Mrs. Mary E. Lease ad-
dressed an audience of about four
hundred On the above subject. At
5 o'clock the orchestra struck up and
rendered several pieces in very com
mendable manner. AS the last selec-
tiOn was being executed, Manager
Holmes and Mrs. Lease appeared upon
the platform. When the music
ceased, Mr.. Holmes announced that
the next Lecture Course attraction
would be the Mozart Symphony Club
March 25th. He then introduced Mrs.
Lease, who, as she arose, was greeted
by deafening applause.
She Immediately entered into her
lecture and throughout the whole
evening was given the closest atten-
ton of her audience. She is a very
rapid talker and possesses powerful
voice. Her appearance is command
ing, her gestures easy and graceful,
aud she enters into the spirit of her
subject with much enthusiasm. Her
command of language is fine and her
elOquence has scarcely been surpassed
on the lecture platform in Wellington.
She hit the gOldbugs with a hard
argument, and stated that the entire
output Of the gold of this country
was only one-seyenth sufficient TO pay
the interest on the debt we owe Eng
land. She paid Senator Teller trib-
ute. calling him "a grand, good man."
At the close of the lecture. in COM
pany with Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman Nau-
gle, Mrs. Lease was driven to their
home where she partoOk of supper,
after which she was driven 20 the
Rock Island depot, returning to her
home in Wichita that night.
Mrs. Lease is undoubtedly the peer
of any woman on the lecture platform
of this country, and her return to
this city would meet with warm
reception.

the meantime the purchaser found
that the cattle had been stolen from
Jim Holland and sent him word to
that effect; he also informed The
sheriff. The sheriff was unable to
locate Robinson, but made the neigh
bOrhood so hot for him that he deem
ed it best to skip out, Night before
last son of the widow West brought
Robinson and his brother to Wichita
and after they had left home Mrs.
IVES felt that it was her duty to in
form the officers. She could not
reach Sheriff ,Heskett, who was hunt
ing Robinson down in Harper County,
but she told Mr.. Holland. Dan HOl
land Immediately came to Wichita
and ran across Under Sheriff Dorsey
OF this county, who located the two
brothers and West at the depot.
Charlie Robinson prevented the arrest
by resisting Officer Dorsey and in the
meantime Clarence Robinson made
good his escape. Dorsey, however,
took Charlie Robinson into custody,
and also captured the baggage of the
brother who had fed, consisting of
his clothing, Winchester rife,
aRunition and other things. He is
now in Jail aud if the officers are IN
able to connect him with any OF the
thefts committed in Sumner county
they will have him punished here for
resisting an officer. Eagle, Saturday.

Burned to Death.

1t befalls our lot to chronicle one
of the SaddeSt and most heart render
ing miShaps that ever occurred ia
this community.
Yesterday afternoon at about half
past four O'Clock, in the absence of
her father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
G. W. Wrinkle, Miss Katie Wrinkle,
aged about thirteen years, a twin
sister to Miss Dollie Winkel, kindled
fire ia the kitchen stove.
She told the folks that at first the
fire didn't. burn, bnt only smoked a
little, so 'she put some coal oil in an
oyster can and carefully poured it in
the stove, after which she retired
from thereon and in a little while
came back and lifted the stove lid TO
to see il the fire was burning. She
then turned her back to the stove,
when all at once big puff OF fire and
smoke forced its way from the stove
and set her clothes on fire. She,
being all alone, of course couldn't
help herself to any advantage, al
though she did attempt to pour on
some water that was near by, bat
failing in that, she ran across the
road to the residence of Mr.. Ayers, at
which place young man put out the
fire and carried her over home.
All of her clothes were completely
burDed. Her body was also very bad
ly burned, especially on the back.
After the arrival Of DR.. Sippy she
rested easy, until about Z o'clock this
mOraing, at which time death came
as result Of this terrible misfortune.
The funeral will be held at the
Church Of Christ in this city TO-
morrow morning at II o'clock The
bereaVed family and relatives have
the utmost sympathy Of the entire com
munity in this, their hour Of Attic
tiO1--Belle Plaine Defender.

Deafness cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion If the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness. and that Is by con-
stitutiOna! remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustach;an Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infama-
uOn can be taken out and this tube restored
TO its normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out often are caus-
ed by catarrah. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfsces.

Ex-senator w. f. Sanders,

One of the ablest, most eloquent and
fluent speakers in the west, a resident
Of Helena, Montana, and the most fear
less and outspoken advocate Of sound
money that has ever been heard in that

Hills next week, as follows:
At the opera house in this city on
Tuesday, the goth, at Edgemont on the
Dist, at Lead on the 22nd, at Rapid City
on the 23rd, and at Terry on the cath
Arrangements for a grand republican
rally at this place will be made for thu

The Plans Spo1led.

Elaborate arrangements were per-
fected for a grand republican rally on
Friday evening of last week, Congress-
man Robert ]. Gamble being announced
as the orator Of the occasion. The
plans which were arranged by the two
Mckinley clubs, which were complete
in every detail, were spoiled however,
so far as the parade was concerned, by
the unfavorable character Of the wealth
er, a snow storm Of such severity as TO
render outdoor exercises entirely out of
the question intervening which nee
essitated its abandonment, and resulted
in keeping many away from the meet
ing, who otherwise would have been
present to enjoy the eloquent and
interesting address delivered by our
popular representative in congress-. The
speaker spoke at q great disadvantage,
being afflicted with a sore throat to an
extent that rendered articulation diff
cult and painful.
His remarks were confined to the
discussion of the money question and
the tariff, and his arguments were so
ably and clearly presented, that many
of his auditors who entertained opposite
opinions, were deeply impressed with
the sound character Of his logic, and
were p~erceptibly affected thereby. The
argument was a notably strong one, and
in its fluent and forcible character, has
not been surpassed in this place during
the present campaign. In marked con-
trast with some of the speeches of the
opposite side that have been delivered
here, Mr.. CANDLES remarks were especi.
ally free from abuse, being wholly
confined to a plain and candid discus
sion Of the great issves now pending, a
fact to which is largely due the marked
effectiveness of the strong and un-
answerable arguments presented.
Mr.. Gamble departed for Edgemont
on Saturday, where he spoke in the
evening, which completed his engage
ments in the Black Hills.
