The Mexican Herald, printed in the
City of Mexico, says:
when Mexico meditates on a pro.
tectorate. 1t is with the ideaof Offering
to take our distracted Uncle Sam I'M
der her broad wing. The poor old
gentleman. having been robbed of near
ly all his pin money by the financial
theorists in congress and treasury, and
having been stripped of his means of
defence by the mugwumps and the
congressional obstructionists, would
like to go somewhere to rest, and gath.

thinking apparatus. We will cheerful

senators to " ~ashington and so hold
the balance of power in the upper
house. This would ensure TRANQUILITY
to the Union, and in instead of etern-
ally talking, cigarettes and siestas
you'd be a la moda."

COME AND HELP THE POOR
The New Lecture on Christ or Caesar"
Mrs. Lease Tonight

The New Lecture '.Christ or Caesar" by
Mrs. Lease Tonight.
"a prophet is not without honor save
in his own country" may be straight
talk, but it won't hold good when it
comes to a woman and a prophecies.
Wichita is wont to cali in, from long dis
tances, distinguished speakers and lee
turers, in this and that cause, paying
therefor round prices, which prices are
carried hence in the good money of the
realm to be seen mo more, and for which
up-to-date spirit Wichita societies and
people are to be commended. But the
fact remains that Wichita boasts one
of the most famed and entertaining
platform takers in the land, who has
acceptably appeared before discriminate
ing audiences from Cooper's Institute,
New York, to the public hall, which in
San Francisco faces the golden gate
way TO the Pacific, and in the person of
Mrs. Lease. This gifted woman has
never been heard by many of her own
people. In the interest of the city, and
in behalf Of, and to aid the needy. and
the unfortunate in our midst, she has
prepared a special lecture which will
be delivered under the auspices of a
ladies benevolent society, in this city,
this evening, at the Auditorium. No in
timation Of the character or scope Of
the lecture has been given other than
tla.t which may be gained from its an
noUnced little. That it will be both in
teresting and instructive there is no
question. Its object is most worthy of
sympathy. A big house is not only due
The ladies' but Mrs. Lease herself is en-
titled to such "a reception from her own
people. If she has national nOtOriety
she has a well-won national, enduring
fame; won it by the utterances of such
new and original ideas as have COM
manded the attention of the country's
foremost thinkers. This is the only
organized movement 50 far made this
winter for the relief of the destitute, and
the expense will be so light as TO leave
the bulk of the door receipts for distri-
button among the needy, especially
among the destitute boys and girls of
INDECENT homes, and TO orphan children.
This new lecture of Mrs. Leases, we
guess from the title, will differ mater
tally from her efforts of the past, in
which she was held more or less to
political lines of thought. Her natur-
al bent is literature and her future sue
cess as a lecturer will be in this field,
we have no doubt. This lecture will
give the public the first insight they
have had Of the sentimental and ideal
trend of a mind not only of power and
versatility, but a mind refund and cult
waited.

day for hearing divorces in which there
was no contests.
Tuesday, Jan. IA, will be given to the
hearing of evidence in cases wherein
default has been made.
January II and Is will be spent in
hearing and determining cases taken up
under the redemption act, as viewed by
the supreme court under it's recent de-
cision. During these days there will
undoubtedly be some of the ablest argu
ments made during the term of the
court, and much interest will be taken
in the REIMBURSEMENT of certain cases
which were supposed TO have been set
tied, but the new decision has given
the former holders a new lease upon the
property.
The judge also announced that here
after all applications by receivers for
orders, etc, must be filed in sufficient
time for objections to be noted before
being acted upon.

Up to a late hour nothing new can

Iuka. Pratt county; a small town on an
abandoned branch of the Denver, Mem
phiS and Atlantic railroad. There has
been no news received from there OF any
kind. and no way Of getting any-the
nearest telegraph Office being about
twenty-five miles away. No loss OF life
is feared, but probably some stock and
personal property has been consumed
by the flames. Very few people live
in that section OF Frat county. all
having abandoned their farms and al

r-lF
Presiding Elder Martindale OF this
city, was seen yesterday by an Eagle
reporter and in conversation he said:
Il have just returned from a visit
south Of Iuka. and was speaking TO
a Methodist minister with whom ! was
riding about the great danger Of a
prairie fire. In many places the grass
was very high in the sand hills and the
only protection 10 farms was a small
fire guard. but l noticed that each town
ship had a wide fire guard plowed clear
around il by the settlers and l am in
hopes that the fire was confined TO a
SINGLE township.
Il can not think there has been any
loss of lsfe as the settlers there We're too
well posted about prairie fires not 10
have set fire on the wlndward side Of
their farms, and then TO have back
fired. The only great danger that I can
conceive Of is 10 live stock and personal
property. II you had ridden through
that country as much as l have this
past year You would not be surprised
that flames should have been seen so
many miles"
There was much uneasiness felt all
day by residents OF Wichita who had
friends and relatives in that country,
but it is probable that they have all
escaped.
There is not more than fc - families
in the town of Iuka, which a one time
was the county seat of Pratt county
and If they have not back-fired the town
has undoubtedly been destroyed.

HE LOST HIS FEET
Eddie Horton NJ Gets With a Sad Accident
on the Rock Island

Yesterday about noon a young color
ed boy, about ten years Of age, by the
name of Edward Horton, living in the
north part Of town, while playing along
the Santa, Fe tracks, near Eighteenth
street, tried TO board a Santa Fe train
which was moving along at the usual
rate in this vicinity. He ran along be-
side the train some little distance at
tempting to grasp the handles, which
he finally managed to do, but had not
gotten safely upon the step as yet, when
his hands slipped and he fell striking
the ground with considerable force.
The wheels passed over the instep of
the right foot crushing that member in
a manner which only a car wheel can
do; also taking off two toes of the left
foot, and also bruising the foot some
what. 1t is very seldom that person
when falling from a train, ever fails SO
as TO miss the wheels and this is no eX-
ception. The hoy can consider himself
decidedly lucky, as the chances are
generally in favor of the majority of
one, Of sometimes two limbs becoming
severed by the wheels and it is needless
TO say that the wheels takes off a leg as
easily as a, toe, when given the oppor-
tunity
Dr. Hupp was called to the scene Of
the accident Who with the assistance
Of DR.. Purdue dressed the wounds.
The right foot is badly crushed, the
wheels passing directly over the instep
The left foot is not so bad, the wound
being more like a cut than a crush;
the foot, however, is somewhat bruised,
but no more than might have been eX-
pected.
1t seems that the boys sometime
must certainly learn that foolhardyness
If persisted in must end in a disaster
sooner or later; but nevertheless the boy
will continue to do those things which
he knows are forbidden. The railroads
may pass rules, the state laws, the city
ordinances, but still these things will
happen occasionally in spite q It all.
No blame is attached to the railroad.
