Death of Lafayette Eggleston.

The death on last Tuesday of Mr..
Lafayette Eggleston of starr, re-
moves from among US one Of the
most prominent men who have ever
lived in our midst. Mr.. Eggleston
had been in failing heath for some
years, and his death was not unex-
pected, but neverthe less is the oc-
casion of sad bereavement to his
many relatives and hosts of warm
admiring friends.
1t was our good fortune to have
known him for more than quarter
of a century, and although differing
radically upon almost all the ques-
tions that concern men in public life,
our friendship was never broken, al
though during the heat of campaigns
there would most generally be less
banter and more caution than when
the flowers after election, grew and
blossomed over the garden wall.
He was man Of public spirit, fore
most in all the good works Of his
in affairs of church and
school, and leader of men in all the !
of the times. He was in
his active days, the most influential
Republican in the county, and as the
partisan Of the hostile
hosts, was the constant campaign
object Of the SENTINEL shots. When
he election closed, we shook hands,
he pencil sottened and the bugles
ung truce, until party call again
ounded the politician to the duty of
aving the country.

sanitary conditions in filthy alleys. Un-
less all signs fail, Mrs. Paul Will De chi

She has given up all social attach
mentS and other pursuits, and Will de-
vote all her energy to the work There
is sentiment in her devotion to this try
ing work. She is a widow, and when
her only child died of diphtheria several
years ago she resolved that the deadly
and disease-laden atmosphere must be
purified. Several weeks ago she re-
turned, emissary of the Civic Fed

the street cleaning and garbage sys-

in a report to the federation, which was
also submitted to Commissioner OF PUB
lick Works McGann.
Her appointment is the result. Mrs.
Paul began work this morning be head
ing a brigade of 25 men and marching
them to Washington street from the
tool station under the west approach to
the Randolph street viaduct. The men.
some in jumpers, others in their work
ing garments, were lined up before the
entrance. When Mrs. Paul appeared
they doffed their hats and saluted her.

People crowded the curb to watch the
strange procession. The brigade march

two at the intersecting thoroughfares.
The men will be held responsible for a
certain number of crossings and inter-
sections. They have no means of

their duty. Mrs. Paul is to have COM

VERY LITTLE SICKNESS.
The Only Case at. the Fairgrounds
That of Five Year Old Child

The first case of sickness cared for in
the hospital tent at the fair grounds,
arranged by the Committee of Fifteen,
was that of George Teter, a year old
child of Valley Falls. The little one
was suffering with malarial fever and
was ministered to by DR.. w. S. Lind
say.
The child's parents are moving to the
western part of the state in a wagon,
but stopped to see the Festival.
Eighteen physicians, the faculty of
the Kansas Medical college, are detail
ed to minister to the wants of the suf-
fering brought to the hospital tent. Two
physicians are on duty night and day.
but the one case this morning conSti-
tutes the record for the day and a half

The tent is very large and is pro-
vided with cots and medical supplies.

PEARY METEORITE.
Some Trouble to Move it as it Weighs
100 Tons.

New York, Sept 2.-The steam whal-
ing ship Hope, Lieut.. r. E. Peary's ves-
sci, is expected to arrive at the Brook
lyn navy yard on Thursday for the
purpose of having the material, includ-
ing a large meteoric which was OBJ
tanned during the cruise, taken out of
the ship and sent to the academy of
Natural History.
While at the Brooklyn navy yard the
ship will be thoroughly refitted and
equipped for an extended trip in arctic
waters, which Lieut.. Peary intends to
make next year. The navy department
has consented to allow the ship to be
mOOred at the navy yard until she
leaves for the north.
There will be some trouble in remov-
ing the meteorite. 1t is the largest one
yet discovered and weighs more than
one hundred tons. There is no derrick
in the navy yard sufficient capacity to
handle the meteorite. The large travel
ing crane has a capacity of only forty
tons, while the floating derrickS can
only handle fifty tons safely. The only
way the meteorite can be removed from
the hold and placed on the deck OF the
vessel is bv getting one of the large
derricks from a wrecking company to
do the work and as the navy depart
ment is neither responsible nor inter-
ested the cost will have to be borne by
the Historical society which will re-
ceive it.

TEA FROM JAPAN.
Probability That There Will Soon Be
Large Increase Over Last Year.

Chicago, Sept. 29-T. Mizutany, the
Chicago representative of the Japan
Central Tea association, says that ow-
ing to the generous appropriation made
to his company by the Mikado's gov
ernment, more than rs, 900, 900 pounds of
Japan teas were shipped to this coun-
try and Canada last year. He believes
that in a few years Japan will be sup
plying fully rs per cent of the teas con-
sun ed by the American people.
Not long ago the government of Jap
an appointed as special commissioners
two of the most prominent tea men of
that country, and sent them on a long
tour of inspection. for the purpose of as
certaining the state of the tea business
in the United States and Canada. After
thoroughly looking into the condition
of affairs they returned to their native
country with a report, which embodied
several important suggestions of steps

dropped down on his knees and lifted

plication to the great spirit, while the
other seized the iron grating of the
cage and yelled in savage style. The
muscles of his face stood out in bold
relief so great was the exertion of yell

of the elevator and seemed in a faint.
When the elevator stopped the Indians
scrambled out, but visited the state
house no longer. They hurried down

RACE WAR CONTINUES.
Negro Children Again Elected From
Schools by the Police.

Alton. H. Sept. 29.-The colored peo-
pie of the city renewed the race war at
the schools this morning. They made
another attempt to send their children
into the rooms with the white pupils,
but the police were summoned again
and they were elected.
The colored people declared that they
will compel the city authorities to main
tain permanent guard at each of the
school houses through the term. They
are determined to enter, and the teach
ers are powerless to eject them without
the aid of the police. Colored agitators
have been at work among the negroes
since the trouble broke out, and they
have intensified the bitter feeling ex-
listing between the two races in the
city.
