The Volunteers Troubles,

Old soldiers say the bitterness Of the
volunteers of the Twenty-first regiment
against Colonel Fitch, is nothing strange.
They say that had the regiment remain
ed in service the boys would have come
10 idolize Fitch. In the civil war the dis
ciplinarian won the regard of the men in
the end. The cause of the trouble is that
Colonel Fitch was making soldiers Of
them.
But right now the volunteers are bitter
indeed. One says that they nicknamed
Fitch "Batt,e-AX' and yelled it out loud
every time he came in sight.
Jacob Balderston says that when the
boys in the Union army didn't like an Of
fcer they would yell in the same spicit,
"Oh, Joe. Here's your mule"
Another story is that one night the boys
stuck the outside of Colonel Fitch's tent
over with Battle Az. tobacco tags, and
made him very angry.
The cause of the Battle-Ax nickname is
said to have been Colonel Fitch's refusal
TO allow representative of that manufac-
ture to come into the camp and present
the boys with plug tobacco. While BAN
ing their colonel, the boys confess that the
regiment had the highest standing in the
camp Some day they will see that he
deserves praise, not blame.

at its launching being christened by a
beautiful young lady who stands near the
prov, breaks the bottle OF liquor over the
ship and says: Il christen thee Illinois.
Cor some other name)
The Wichita plan contemplates the Sc
lection Of the prettieSt girl in town. who
will stand on the corner of Main and Doug
.as. in the center Of an immense concourse
and christen the new system.
This was done in New Jersey the other
day, The young lady cracked the bottle
over the front fender. the motorneer turn
ed on the power and shot away In cloud
OF intoxicating champagne perfume.
Mr. Church has the selection OF the
young lady and whoever is chosen will be

Set Wichita a Fashion.

Yesterday a Wichita woman drew forth
from a wardrobe and showed to an Eagle
representative a thing which brought back
the memory of day that is dead, and a
fashion which has long ago gone in the
nav Of the past where repose the banged
hair, sashes, hoop skirts. aye, even big
sleeves.
The relic was a La Tosca parasol. 1t
was an ornate thing of light blue silk,
airy and soft. II is less in circumfer-
ence than the modern sun shade. But the
difference is in the handle. The handle
is a very long affair. and upon its end
is a treHlsndous and ornamental curve.
This is the La Tosca parasol. 1t was
brought to mind this last week by the
death Of Fanny Davenport. She brought
it to town about ten years ago She
played mere La Tosca- She carried one
OF these paraSols. Within a week a
woman who wasn't carrying one wasn't
IN it at all. The fad lasted only about
six months and then was dropped forever.
Fanny Davenport had an immense audi
ence here and the town was captured.

WHAT MADE HIM SICK.

A mighty conservative. well-informed,
cool-headed soldier says that before July
al Chicksmauga il was almost impossi-
bit to get on the sick-list Every one want
ed to get to the front. II was believed
that the companies having the smaller sick
lists would be sent first In marching,
men would fan insensib,e in their tracks
having the same morning been refused the
privileges OF the sick. They would drop
right down in the march and IN many in
stances had 10 be carried - the roadside.
He SAYS this feature was awful When
Cervera was licked. the general belief was
that the war was over. sick leaves were
granted and the hospitals illed Up at once.

the entire school on him last Sunday and
one which ne enjoyed himself. It was
a bright little boy who caused the dis
comhture OF the chief, and whether tie
did it innocently or with method and de-
sign. may never be known II was the
hour for the various classes 10 reeite be-
fore the school the verses which had been
learned through the preceding week. In
one class OF boys there were twelve vito
had failed to get their verses learned and
the irritated superintendent was roast

them never 10 be so careless and incident
again. In an evil moment Mr.. Darling
stopped 10 catch breath and as he did so
VIM Holmes suddenly recollected that
ne had a verse and was on MS feet with
this 13-inch shot at the enemy's front:
Judge not that We be not judged" The
roast stopped amid the laudable smiles

John Sheer. Aged sa

John Speer came up into the Eagle Of
fee the other day and sat down and told
| about his recent trip east.
No man. IN all the breadth and length
| Of Kansas has so much Kansas history
at MS fingers ends as has Mr.. John
| Speer. No one can tell the story of Kan
sas with more exciting detail and more
comprehensive comment than he
He had just read an account of a Mis-
sourian, who having been with QuantrelI
in MS raid on Lawrence. attempted to
justify that awful massacre.
One thing about the Missourian's nara
tive which particularly annoyed Mr.. Speer
was the charge that the raiders saw in
Lawrence many pianos which the Kan
sans had stolen from Kansas City Mr.
Speer says there wasn't a piano in Law
renee from Kansas City or Jackson
county.
From the matter of denouncing the Mis-
sourians story Mr.. speer passed to his
recent trip to Portsmouth, Ohio.
Going up from Cincinnati he met a
man and fell into conversation with him.
He found that the gentleman was going
to Portsmouth and lived there.
Il used to live at Portsmouth" said
Mr.. Speer.
when were you last tbere?" asked the
man.
IN 1872" answered Mr.. speer, while
the man turned and looked at him in
surprise.
do you remember anybody onere?"
asked the man.
WHY. yes said Mr.. Speer, 81 remem-
Der Sbadrach. Meshach and Abednigo."
The man laughed heartily.
Yes" said the man, in reply, every
body remembers them They were the
Hannas"
So they fell TO talking about the Han
mas. Mrs. Hanna named her triplets,
boys. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednigo,
after the children of the fiery furnace.
The first two are dead long ago. Abed-
nigo lives somewhere in Illinois. When
General Andrew Jackson came to Ports
mouth, he heard of the triplets and sent
for them. After looking them over he
gave each five dollars.
Mr.. Speer then asked the gentleman
if he remembered Corporation"
What was his last name?" asked the
gentleman.
He never had any"
The man had never heard of him.
Afterward when Mr.. Speer reached
Portsmouth he made many inquiries after
Corporation" but no one knew of him.
He had disappeared.
Corporation" was a very ragged and
very bad little boy. He was a waif in a
big city. The town of Portsmouth adopt
ed him. He had no other name, so ne
was called Corporation" this being a
delicate hint of all the parentage he had.
Corporation" was a great terror in his
day. He didn't reform, but loafed about
the river, stole rides on steamboats, and
made it a regular business to nearly
drown himself once week.
Mr.. Speer went TO the Tribune office in
Portsmouth, the original Tribune of the
world, and looked over the old files see
ing many articles which he, as a printer,
had set up long, long ago.
On his way home Mr.. Speer stopped at
Osceola. Missouri a town Jim Lane once
invaded to find out what the people there
knew about him.
Wanted-A wise man to teach the Seilly
Islands.-The Anglo-American.

young woman who proved 70 be an act

Paw to Onerate IT.

Everybody is talking about the transfer
OF the Whitaker packing plant and the
prospects of early operation. OF course
its operation would be a great stroke for
the town. A man said yesterday: The
idle plant is not nearly so sa.eable as the
plant would be in operation. The new
owners are BUSINESS men and viii probably
see this probably did see it before the
transfer was made. They may sell the
property outright as It stands. But the
greater chances are that if they operate
it themselves. And make the prediction
that if they operate it they will find it
SO profitable that they will not be willing
TO sell it"

HOW PACKERS FEEL.

There is great curiosity TO know
whether the name Whitaker wil re re-
tanned on the Wichita packing plant II
:; : operated BY those 10 whom it is
transferred. Il viii probably retain the
name and the brands. II any OF the big
packers should gain control OF il. the
name would be changed. All the big pack
e-s are as proud OF their names. which
are in their case their brands and thus

DOCTORS DEFEATED IT.

Speaking of old fashions. Wichita had
the Jane Hading veil craze worse than
any other town in the country. Jane Had
ing. the actress. never played before a
Wichita audience but her fame reached
Wichita from New York and with il the
style OF veil she wore. This veil was
black. dropped straight from the front
Of the hat and was covered with black
spots. At the time it was supposed 70
make any woman simply bewi,ching. The
spots were injurious TO the eyes how
ever. and doctors began a ilard campaign
against it. and finally drove it OUT,

TRYING TO DOWN WICHITA.

An authority on the subject says that
with two packing houses running in Wich-
ita the market will jump away ahead here
and make Kansas City and Omaha squiru.
II is a singular fact to those not informed
that for so large a city Kansas City has
always been exceedingly jealous of Wichita
with its mite over 10000 people. Kansas
City for years hired an expert traffic man
whose principle business was TO keep
Wichita down. This man has since left
the employ of Kansas City ad one day
he told a Wichita man that Wichita had
been treated more uniUstly than any other
city in the United States.

THE RAILROADS ARGUMENT.

It is said the railroads have been re-
sp0nsible for killing TWO of the sales Of
the Whitaker packing plant in the past.
The railroads argue 10 themselves in this
way. With a market and packing plants
at Kansas City. they get money for snip
ping the live hogs 10 Kansas City and
