bismarck. Whose Name is Reyered BY
All Germans.
The Germans OF Wichita Joined with
their brethren not only In the Fatha--
land but in every nation in the world
in celebrating the twenty-hfth ami
versary OF the crowning at Versailles
OF King William q Germany. who was
a grandfather OF the present emperor
OF Germany. and the consequent re-es-
adjustment OF the German empire.
This great event not only assembled
the Germans of Wichita. but OF SedS-
wick county, as well. and they last
night not only met as American cic-
zens 70 send greetings by cable TO En-
peror William, ruler OF Germany. but
also on account OF his recent action i'm
bidding old England TO keep her hands
of OF Transvaal. tie Emperor had en-
deared himself 10 erery American hear,
and on this the 1Sh day OF January.
1896. the emperor sslod nearer America
than ever before
America and Germany were today
sisters in a common calse and the EN-
peror had joined hands with the pres
ident OF the United Stats In stoppsnp
the greed OF John Bull. This being
the case the twenty-flfth anniversary,
was celebrated with greater Geer than
on any occasion in the past.
In the Getto block the banqu- ~.
held and for two hours the tim va.
spent in social concourse and friSdIv-
greetings. All care was laid aside M
the Germans OF Wichita and their "a
iting friends joined heartily IN ceieb1
ting the occasion;fn speaking kindly =
Emperor William the First. and In sing,
ing the praise OF Prince Bismarck whose
name is held La reverence by all Ger
mans. To his efforts was u made pos
sible that the empire should be estab-
lished and not a speech was made but
what the mentioning OF his name was
greeted with cheers.
The banquet was 6 fine one. the
speeches We're eloquent, the songs and
music were Inspiring. and what was
best OF all, the addresses were patriotic
10 the star and stripes. and while they
again lived over the days OF the victory
Of Germany. they spoke only as true
Americans. They love the Fatherland
but like true children they have a warm
place in their heart for mother (Ameri-
ca) than even the empire OF whose VIC
tory they celebrated last night
Should space permit the Eagle would
enjoy giving its readers this morning
verbatim report of the remarks. but to
attempt 10 give a synopsis would be an
injustice.
Addresses were made by Messrs. Eek
stein, Neuman, Getto. Zimmerman,
Koch, Hellar, Myer and others. Other
celebrations have been had by the Ger
mans OF Wichita but none were more
patriotic than the one last night. The

SWATTING A PREACHER.
The Blackwell Record has the follow
ing: The freak that was lassoed some
where up in Kansas and brought down
to this country, and made hog Of HIM
self in the pulpit in Blackwell. a few
Sundays ago, had another stopping ov-
er at the mouth last Sunday evening
at the Hine school house on Bitter creek
During the course Of his sermon, he took
occasion to vilify and abuse several of
the most estimable young ladies who
had seen fit to join other church IS than
the one he so ably rnisrepresented. TO
which the young ladies and their friend
took exceptions. One of the young la
dies arose and denied the insinua tons
and allegations OF the dyspeptic, sane
monious old tumble weed, whereupon
the Indignation became contagious and
men pulled their coats and started for
the preacher with the intention of ham,
mering into his empty pate the fact
that women are sacred in this country.
and are not be insulted by any jack-leg
impostor that comes along.
The school house was crowded at
the time, and excitement ran high.
but cooler judgment finally prevailed
and the preacher escaped what to

his teeth chattering like castanets,
while he nervously fingered his billy
goat whiskers, ne was heard TO ex-
claim:
"Oh! Dearl Oh, Me: Oh my oh me,
What an awful lot of wicked people
what wicked set was getting among
on Bitter Creek"'
And out into the sobbing night his
form disappeared in a manner more
hastily than dignified, and the place
that once knew him knoweth him no
more. Yea, verify, he is making feet
tracks towards his Kansas home, full
~ imbued with the knowledge that

THAT GOLD AGAIN.
The Norman Transcript says: "The
gold excitement in this vicinity has by
no means died out of late but rather
seems to be getting greater as con-
siderable amount of prospecting is be-
ing done daily. 1t is claimed some
very rich findings have lately been
made some of the best specimens shown
coming, ii is claimed, from the farm of
Jerome Lassiter, on Elm creek, east of
Norman. Every day specimens of min
eral bearing rock is brought to this
point and Professor De Barr of the Uni
versity. is kept busy making assays for
persons who are convinced that they
have truck the sure and short road to
fortune.
SHARPE HAS FLED.
A dipatch from FL Reno says: "The
grand jury of this county this term of
court found ninety-one bills ne of them
against the eX-treasurer of this county
E. A. Sharpe. Mr.. Sharpe has fed and
his whereabouts are unknown. He is
well connected. His father was the first
treasurer of this county and E. A
Sharpe, his son, served as deputy dur
ing his fathers term. His father was
reelected and died without qualifying
and the governor appointed E. A Sharp
to serve the second term, for which his
father was elected. When the present
county treasurer, Neal Evans, took
charge of the office, over a year ago, he
retained e. a. Sharpe as his deputy
until Sharpe skipped the country.

DEATH OF BOB DARRA6H
He Passed Away at Denver After . Lon
and severe Ills-ess.

The sad news came yesterday Of the
death OF Robert Darragh at Denver,
Colorado. after a long and very severe
Illness The news was received by his
friend, Mr. L. G.. Whittier, OF the Eagle.
with whom he had been on intimate
terms for years. Bob" was for a great
many years connected with the business
department of the Eagle. having COM
menced with it when a boy. He was,
so to speak, one of the Eagle family
and from morning until late at night
he worked increasingly in its interest.
He was faithful to every trust reposed
in him, no matter how ardous or re-
sponsible. He had Thousa nds of friends
in Wichita and not an enemy in the
world. A most genial and loveable
young fellow was Bob" That faith
fulness to every duty which ciara cter-
lied his business life was always mani
fest IN the home. He had a most beau
full affection for his mother and all his
ambitions were bent in the direction of
making her life happy. When he was
IN the fun vigor OF health and young
activity ne insured his life in her inter
est and for her benefit and now that he
is dead she will receive IS 900. But that
amount of money is not TO be consid-
cred as a measure OF her loss 4 moth
er would rather have the affections and
the companionship Of such a boy az
Bob than all the money issued from
the minis OF the world. He was loved
by everybody around the Eagle Office
and a gloom OF sorrow fell over all OF
them yesterday when they heard OF his
