INNES OPENING
FIFTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE VISIT
THE STORE
Holiday Opening Exceed the Expectations
of Even the Proprietorn

Holiday Opening Exceed the Expectations
of Even the ProprietorA
When a reporter for the Eagle went
to the McNamara place last night to see
the holiday opening Of Innes & Co., the
new proprietors, two hundred people
were crowding around the south en-
trance trying to get in, and the door had
been open half an hour. The jam began
at o'clock, and when the doors were
opened at 7.30 the crowd extended across
the pavement into the street with hun
dreds coming in line from both ways Of
Main street.
1t was an extraordinary scene from the
! moment of entrance through all the de-
partments every inch of the way to
where the great crowd poured out al the
north door OF the big double store.
In the center of the aisle where the
people went in was brilliantly lighted
booth with plaques hung in the cross
way and all sorts Of the latest attractive
Christmas novelties. On one side
well arranged display of fine dress goods
and on the other cases of toilet articles
Of sterling silver in rolled gold 14-carat
and real ebony, mounted In sterling sill
yer. Each visitor was given a silver
souvenir. Belts Of oxydized silver with
garnet setting, handmade lace and every
thing in fancy lines that is late was there
The dress designs in whole patterns
showed much skill and a thorough &C.
quaintance of the most popular fashions.
Notable among these was the design in
cherry color trimmed in applique gimp.
with real duchess lace on the neck end
sleeves.
The display of wraps is not excelled
even in the fashionable New York stores.
The chiffon collarette, with the ripple
collar will be poular among we'll dressed
people, and Mr.. Weiser, the buyer, who
planned the detail Of the opening last
night. brought from New York just the
style and quality secured on Broadway.
the fashionable street in the most fash
ionable city in America.
On the second floor, Mr. Weiser and
his assistant, Mr. Meyers, had arranged
an exhibition of Wilton and Administer
carpets, carpet sized rugs, and the
finer styles in hand made patterns.
Mr.. Weiser very wisely decided that
Wichita people, in house furnishing, as
in wearing apparel wanted and would
buy the best there is anywhere.
There is too much that is new and ex-
quisite TO describe the opening in the de-
tail that it deserves. A walk through
all the departments with the accommo-
dating, genial manager, Mr.. Weiser, is
study in art and economy. a revelation
of fashion. lesson as Drayton would
say, in that grace which elegance af-
fords. Flowers, palms and chrysanthe-
NUNS stood everywhere seemingly just
as they should, and over all the rich and
stylish display the white lights cleaned
and the music fell like the memory OF q
pleasant dream and the odor Of violets
spread.
Those whe went were delighted and
will go again with their friends. who
will be delighted with profit. Fifteen
hundred people visited the store last
night.

HE SETTLES THAT DISPUTE
Marshal Thompson of Oklahoma Did Not
Live in Wichita

When Harry Thompson was appointed
marshal of Oklahoma number OF
places put up the claim that his resi-
dence was in this place and that place.
Hennessey claimed it; Enid and even
Wichita. When Marshal Thompson was
in the city the other day he was asked
about this and he laughed and said:
My residence is in Garfield county"
Speaking OF the Hews movement and
the Comsnche country, Marshal Thomp-
son said that the guarding OF the Wich-
ita mountains would devoive on the war
department. although his forces might
be called in as auxiliaries. However, he
says there will, in his opinion. 5e no
raid.
In regard to the Wichita country, ne
says il has no peer as a farming section
in the world. The Washita valley in the
Wichita country will raise and does
raise the finest corn on earth. He looks
for its settlement 10 oe instantaneous.

MUSIC AND ORA MA

One Of the strongest attractions Of
the season will be an elaborate produc-
ton Of Faust with John Griffith in
the leading role OF Mephistopheles at
the Crawford Grand. Monday. Dec i3.
AS nearly everyone is aware the play
is founded on allegory. The poem is a
most serious and impressive drama ot
man: the play is love story and ell
that il aims to reflect is the characteyi-
zation, vitaNzed with dramatic move
ment and swathed with an atmosphere
OF wierd spirituality. In most tales OF
hapiess lovers they sink beneath the
hostility and persecution OF man. In
this they are wrecked and ruined
through the o'enmasteTing power ant
sway Of the arolfiend OF this universe.
commonly called mis- satanic majesty.
The aim OF the evil angel purposes not
only 10 blight Sheir mortal lives. but to
ruin their souls and the power with
which he works is preturnatural ana
cannot be resisted. Misery Is presented
as the acc cmpanimert of sin. and at
the end Is left the impress OF the tri-
umph OF good over evil. Griffith gives
two vivid pitures, two contrasts, the
struggle OF TIE jnnocent on earth and
the repulsive presence OF the arohfend
tempting. mocking and cajoling in wild
and s3rdonic giee over the susceptibility
and weakness OF earthly flesh and t5lood.
a carload OF scenery is used IN the pro-
ducGon. besides many electrical and cal
cium effects.

and Mrs. Bentley. The curtain rose up
on a beautiful representation OF an old
Colonial tea party, consisting OF Mrs

plauded and looked the Colonial lady to
perfection Mrs. Findlay Ross sang

derful effect. Miss Jocelyn and Mrs.
John Kelly presented a fainting scene.
which was humorous and life-like. The
Colonial ladies were startled and shock
/ at the passing by Of the jaunty bicy-
Gle girl. Two costumed boys sang a
sweet old time ballad, which was much
appreciated. The hoop drill and the
dancing doll have been two OF the great
attractions of the Carnival. Take it all
in all last nights Carnival was one to
be remembered. All socialdom was pres
ent and the work of the ladies viii be
greatly appreciated. 1t was an ambi-
tious undertaking and successful in

Than Previously.
There was pandemonium in local and
general grain markets yesterday when
December wheat went up to s1.o9, which
is the highest point that cereal has
reached since 1891 Men VINO were for
tunate enough TO buy in on December
quotations a week or ten day ago have
in great many Instances made snug
little fortunes. The advance yesterday
was four cents on the day before and
there was no option. If buyer had
the money and could plank down for
his wheat ne got it.
May wheat went UP two cents and a
little better, closing at 9215c. Fate is
not only trampling upon the Populistic
prophecy of 40 cent wheat, but is run
ming off with the skeleton At the close
OF phe day yesterday one man in Wich-
ita drew a check for 81, 900, the profits
Of mis- investment.
Mr.. Bostwick mad orders from Hutch
fnson, Arkensas CITY, KingInan, Win
field and number of outside towns.
There were a few men who had faith
enough in the market to putt good c0ld
cash into the transaction.
Grain men VINO have been long at the
business and are competent to judge as
far as circumstances indicate, say that
the figure viii run 10 $1.20 yet, which
is 'Pelion pom Ossa,' crushing Jerry
Simpsons panic prophecy and his con-
gressional aspiration into pulverized
burnt whiskeIs. One town within 45
miles Of Wichita has taken $1,000 in prof
its in fall wheat deals. This movement
is a tonic for the whole country. Every
farmer who comes TO the city feels the
glow Of the wi1eat market and there is
a different movement even of the team.
II wheat keeps on cutting such antics
as this, there won't be a microscope
powerful enough to find the Pop party
next fall, a farmer said on the street
yesterday. which statement is not given
for political effect. but simply as one OF
the occurrences Of the big jump in
wheat. The telephones in the commits
sion offices sang a constant song and
the telegraph wires sent stack after
stack OF yellow messages to the desk Of
dealers. May wheat 921ac. December
wheat s1o9, and this is McKinley's first

HAIL TO THE HEM


An Oregon paper publishes the
following eulogy of the Oregon hen,
which we publish with apologies to
her Idaho sister:
We have read of Maud on sum
mer day, who raked, parefooted, the
new mown hay; we have read of the
maid in the early morn, who MIXED
the COW with crumpled horn; and
we've read the lays that the poets
sing, of the rustling corn and the
flowers of spring; but of all the lays
of tongue or pen, there's naught like
the lay of the Oregon hen. Long,
long, before Maud raked her hay,
the Oregon hen had begun to lay,
and ere the milkmaid stirs peg, the
hen is up and has dropped her egg
the corn must rustic and the flowers
spring if they hold their own with
the barnyard ring. If Maud is need
ing hat and gown, she doesn' {
hustle her hay to town; she goes to
the store and obtains her suit with a
basketful of fresh hen fruit; if the
milkmaid's beau makes Sunday
call, she doesn't feed him on milk at
all, but works up eggs in a cuslard
pie and stufrs him full of chicken
fry; and when the old man wants q
horn, does he take the druggist q
load of corn? Not muchl He sim
ply robs nest and to town he goes
you know the rest. He fingers
there and he talks, perhaps of tru,
reform and fee nance, while his poo,
wife stays at home and scowls, bu
is saved from want by those sci
same fowls for while her husband
fingers there, she watches the caclS
ling hens with care and gathers eggs
and the eggs she'll hide till she get
enough to stem the tide. Then hail
all hail, to the Oregon hen, the great
est blessing of all to menl Thro,
up your hats and make Rome how
for the persevering barnyard fowl
Fruit may be king hut it is plainl,
seen that the Oregon hen is the Ore
gon Queen.
