RING FROM A METEOR.

There is a man in this city who has an
iron finger ring made from metal taken
from an aerolite which fell some years
ago in Palestine. The world renowned
Masonic scholar and traveler Robert Nor
ris spent some years in the Holy Land,
and while there witnessed the beautiful
and startling sight of a sailing meteor
through the soft. balmy air of an oriental
night. The brilliant heavenly visitor
struck the earth a few miles from his
lodging. and the next day. in company
with some American and English scien-
lists, went to the spot where it had i'm
bedded itself in the soil With considera-
BILE difficulty it was dug out and chunks
taken for analysis. and the rest dstrib-
uteA among the party as mementoes Of
their foreign travel. Mr.. Morris secured
all he could carry away Of the rock and

Out of this ore he had several band finger
rings made for presents and souvenirs

ITS MANY CHANGES.

On the old market building, now used
as a laundry and by the Western Litho-
graphing company, appears in raises let
ters on the First street side the date
1873" In the semicircle are the capital
letters &c. H." supposed to have meant
al the time of the erection of the build
ing, German Hall. This was in an early
day the only theater and public hall in
the city. Within its halls were held all
of the early amateur performances, and
here also many Kansas orators and cele-
brities poured forth burning eloquence in
support of some hobby or political fetch.
Governor st. John campaigned IL this
hall, and General Blair also made its
rafters ring with his stentorian voice.
Over the arched windows in very dim
lettering appear the old signs of the bust
ness formerly carried on upon the first floor
while it was the city market place. The
sign that is perhaps the most interesting
now is that over the front windows. now

lor's famous dummy steam line running

stock yards and Valley Center. 1t was the
first line to be converted into an electric
line.

PRESIDENT COMMENDS THE EAGLE.
A number of personal concentrations,
written and oral, have reached the editor

appeal for the furnishing victims of Span

John Addison Porter, Esq, from the exc

VERY SMART CAT.

Naturalists, philosophers and students
of zoology have always considered it still
an open question if the reasoning power
in animals is a all developed. An instance
Of what would appear to be this power as
differing from mere instinct, recently
came TO the attention of member of the
High School faculty. The family has a pet
cat that has been in the household a long
time. Like all other members Of the feline
species. she is very attentive to her ablu-
tions. One day recently she was watched
while she carefully licked herself until
every hair of her glossy coat lay in its
proper place. One spot under her chops.
however seemed to worry her. as she
could not get at it as she desired. After
a moments apparent study over the situ-
ataion she arose from the rug upon which
she was lying, and went out in the kitch-
en-. There she selected an especially clean
spot on the spotlessly clean floor and
licked it until it was as damp as she
thought necessary. Then she stretched
out her full length and rubbed the spot
under her chin she could not reach any
other way, on the wet spot on the floor.
This operation she repeated several times
until she satisfied herself she was i'm
maculately clean.

Another animal pet and valuable mem
Der Of the stock yards force'is the shep-
herd dog Bob" belonging 20 the com
pany. He is one Of the regular employees
and there is none among them all more
faithful or prompt. He lies down out OF
the way of every one when not engaged
in driving up some stubborn sow or fright
ened steer. He never has TO be called,
for as soon as he sees the big gates start
to swing open he is promptly on hissfeet
and trotting off toward the cloud of dust
that announces the approach OF herd
of swine or cattle. He takes his place
behind them making less noise and more
progress than the other drivers. He never
fails to round up ell the scattering ami
male that but for him would tumble pell
nell over each other and confuse the
whole herd. When an unruly steer gets
balky, Bob stealthily crawls up and deity
bites his heels or flank, and as adroitly is
back ten feet 10 avoid the vicious kick
that he knows will follow his tantaliZing
nipping. Through all the may labyrinth
of pens, alleys, intersections and gates,
he safely conducts a herd. often alone and
unassisted. and never misses the right pen
OF the scales. He is first told TO which
point to drive them and then he goes IN
erringly.

sHARPLEY BAND MrTTINY.

The Sharpley band and orchestra which
has become SO popular here will probably
never again be heard in Wichita The
band and the management of the show
had a splt-up while here, and received
two weeks notice of a permanent lay off,
and last night at Hutchinson the last per-
Torrance was given. Hereafter the
Sharpley company will appear without the
musical feature of the show, after having
been together for nine years. Victor Kre-
ger, the director of the orchestra, and
Mr.. Fleishner the band master, are both
really good musicians and will both go
with different organizations, which will
disband that organization. The reason for
discord was on account of professional
courtesy shown to local musicians here.
The management of the company here Of
fered the services of his orchestra gratis
10 local society for a social event. The
offer was accepted, but it seems that an
orchestra of local musicians had already
been engaged for the affair When the
Sharpley orchestra heard of this, they
refused to play. They were ordered TO
play. A mutiny resulted ard consequently
the split.

MET AT DANCING SCHOOL.

During the boom days the bon ton Of
the city all attended Charlie BeaFs dane
ing school, either as students or for the
pleasure of the social entertainments.
During this period Mr.. and Mrs. Beal
carefully kept complete records and regis
ters Of all parties and social gatherings
in the city. These now make interesting
reading. short time ago Charlie looked
over these books covering period of sew
eral years and counted twenty-one couples
who first met each other at his school,
and formed such attachments as later re-
suited in their marriage. Some of these
are now old settled families. many have
moved away, and not few are dead, and
some even married the second time.

LAID FOR THAT ROOSTER.

Many years ago, along in the later '70s
or early sos, Rev. J. D. Hewitt was the
pastor of the First Presbyterian church.
He must have been a fancier of game
cocks. as the following story told by 0. c.
Daisy will demonstrate:
Mr.. Hewitt al one time had neighbor
by the name of Kirk who was a very
religious man, but not a brother in Rev
Hewitt's congregation. Kirk had a roos-
ter which was known about the neighbour
hood as a fighter. Rev. Hewitt also had
one. On one bright sun sidney morning
Hewitt's rooster got into Kinks hen yard
and killed off all the chickens there. This
made Kirk mad and he went 10 Mr.. Daisy
and purchased a game cock, paying SIS
for him Mr.. Kirk turned this expert
fighter into his hen yard and prepared to
wait for Hewitt's rooster. 1t was not
long until the Hewitt fighter flew over
the fence to survey his domain, won by
hard fighting. It so happened that on this
particular morning Mr.. Kirk was sitting
on his back porch. The fight began. Hew-
tits rooster. encouraged no doubt by
many successes in the 'main," took the
initiative The Rev. Hewitt knew, how
no one will ever be able TO explain, that
the feathered beauties were fighting for
life or death. He opened his back door
about two inches to watch the results.
Kirk sat still. thinking that he had a sure
thing with the Sc rooster. The fight be-
came fast and furious. The two roosters
changed their position. and. in order that
the Rev. Hewitt might see. he had to
open the door some six inches further.
Mr.. Kirk saw him, as did also the Rev.
Hewitt Mr.. Kirk. Rev. Hewitt's rooster
jumped up and run one Of his spurs clear
through the others head. At that moment
Rev Hewitt saiA IN bet you that he
can lick any rooster in the state for $50"

CHILDREN AND sPEcTACLEs.

Any one visiting the public schools of
Wichita, if he be observing, is impressed
with the number of children of late years
who wear glasses. The children in all
grades Of school, from the primary to the
high school, are included in this growing
list. Little tots in the first and second
grades, and on up through all the inter-
mediate classes may be noticed with spec
tacles on. Prof. Dyer explains this chiefly
from the well known fact that in recent
years parents and teachers alike pay more
attention to the care and treatment of the
eyes than ever before. Formerly the rule
was only crossed eyes, near sightedness,
or some other constitutional ocular infirm-
ity was ever given any attention. while
now carefully ground and fitted lens are
applied to eyes 70 correct the evil results
of close application and over strain.

ticket agent is occasionally called upon
to rub up against irritating conditions
which a thoughtless public inflict upon
him. A few days ago, naughty and i'm
perious woman stalked up to the Rock

demeanor, cooly demanded from the as
tonished day agent that he get her
scalper's ticket. He explained 10 her that
the company was not in the ticket bro
kerage business, and that they had none
for sale Then she retorted that if that
was the case. she would like 10 have him
so up town or send up for her and procure
for her a cut rate scalper's ticket She Is
