WON A HAT
On a Wager With A. Hess-cash J.
Pickler Sells $4,000 Cigars
i'm Five DAYS.

The Chicago drummer, who, until recent
years, claimed to hold the championship
in the west, is no longer in it with the
Wichita commercial salesman There are
now nearly 400 U. c. It's who reside or
make headquarters in the Peerless
Princess, and each one is rated by his
house as their star salesman, but Cash
J. Picker, who makes headquarters in
Wichita and represents Geo. H. Hummel
& Co., cigar manufacturers of Louisville,
KY, wears the championship belt. He is
considered throughout the west and south
as the most successful cigar salesman on
the road. Mr.. Picker has not only won
great honors for himself, but has also
made his leading brands of cigars the most
popular on the market.
Last fall he made a mountaineering
sale for the Grand March cigar, men
ton of which was made in the Eagle at
the time, and this spring ne has started
out to do still greater business, having no
competitor who has thus far attempted to
set him a pace. He is now breaking his
own previous record. The Wichita Whole
sale Grocery company are his company 5
distributing agents for the southwest, and
Mr.. Hess informed an Eagle reporter that
they had sold over 100000 Grand March
cigars since September l. 1898, which not
only breaks all previous records, but is
double the amount ever sold by any other
brand of cigar in the same length of time.
Mr. Picker travels with the Wichita
Wholesale Grocery company's statesmen
over their territory and is quite popular
with the boys, whom he considers the
most gentlemanly and capable statesmen
that he has ever met. A week ago, while
in the Office Of Mr.. Hess, Picker stated
that he was going TO sell 5000 Grand
March cigars the next week. Mr. Hess
doubted any mans ability to make such
a record, and a wager Of a five-doIlsr
hat was made between Messrs Hess and
Picker.
The first five days Mr.. Picker travelled
with Ted Mcdonald and sold 5000
Grand March" cigars. and rounded up at
homo Saturday morning, after making the
greatest record ever made BY any sales
man in the United States.
Mr. Hess bought the har and Cash has
a new spring hat and says he VIII beat
that record for a new spring suit
The Grand March IS a winner and IN
questionably an excellent cigar. The manu-
facturers. Geo. II. Hummel Co. are

AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION
Successful Enterprise Based on
rIerit.
The Importance of Informing the
Public of the Value of an Arti-
Gle Through the Lead
ing Newspapers.

The few remedies which have attained
TO worldwide fame, as truly beneficial in
effect and giving satisfaction 10 millions
of people everywhere, are the products of
the knowledge of the most eminent physi-
clans, and presented in the form most ac-
ceptable TO the human system by the
skill of the worlds great chemists; and
one of the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by the Cali
fOrnia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host OF
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup
of Figs is permanently beneficial in its ef-
fects and therefore lives and promotes
good health. while inferior preparations
are being cast aside and forgotten. In
olden times if remedy gave temporary
relief to individuals here and there it was
thought good; but nowadays laxative
remedy must give satisfaction to all. If
you have never used Syrup of Figs, give it
a trial, and you will be pleased with it,
and will recommend it to your friends Or
to any who suffer from constipation, or
from overlooking, or from colds, head
aches biliousness, or other ills resulting
from an inactive condition of the kidneys,
liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup Of Figs. figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties Of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination of plants
known to be incidentally laxative and to
act most beneficiauy. As the true and
original remedy, named Syrup Of Figs, is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only, a knowledge Of that fact
viii assist in avoiding the worthless imi-
tations manufactured by other parties.
The Company has selected for years past
the leading publications of the United
States through which to inform the public
of the merits of its remedy, and among
them the Eagle is included, as will be
seen by reference to its advertising col
umns.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

Mr.. Frank Reodick and his Denver stock
company will hold the boards at the opera
house for three nights, commencing Mon
day, February %, in three grand spec
tacular productions Around the World
in Eighty Days" Monday, Monte Cristo"
Tuesday, "Mazeppa" Wednesday. and
have car load of special scenery. Each
piece popular price.
The Denver Times says: The presenta-
ton of the big spectacular play Around
the World in Eighty Days" by the new
and strengthened stock company, was a
bold stroke of managerial ability, entail
ing as it did a tremendous expenditure of
both time and money. Brand new and
magnificent scenery had to be provided.
However, Manager Readick knew that
everw new man, woman or child who Wis
tied his place holiday week, and found
what an excellent company of players had
been gathered together, and saw the char
acter of this new family theater, would re-
main steady customers and fast friends
throughout the season. From the delight
ed multitudes that have thronged the
place, the managers fondest hopes have
undoubtedly been realized. No better
show could nave been seen regardless Of
price.

nary merit is La Petite Reina the child

already met with great success in Eu-

NINETY-NINTH BIRTHDAY
Mrs. stuart of MuIVaRe Bids Fair to
Reach Century.

The town Of Mulvane has a distinguish
ed citizen. Distinguished not by any pub
lie service or a great achievement in life,
but distinguished in age and health. Mrs.
Mary Stuart celebrated her birthday the
other day. It was her 99th. She is as
hale and hearty as she has been all her
long existence. After climbing the hill OF
life, having had many trials and tribuia-
tons before age began TO tell on her, she
IS now descending without many obstacles
and really with many pleasures the steep
incline of Iife's other side. The celebra-
ton Of Mrs. Stuarts 99th birthday was a
pleasant event, fully enjayed by her, as
well as by those who are proud 10 keep
her with them. Mrs. Stuart lives with her
son, James Stuart, with whom she came
to America in the year of sc. She was
born and raised at Buncrana, a beautiful
and picturesque village in the extreme
northern part of Ireland. Her husband
was known only as ''Old Cap Stuart, the
Sailor" He was a noted sea captain and
had many hard experiences with the rough
sea before modern vessels were heard OF.
He died before the family came to Ameri-
ca, and Mrs. Stuart took her boy James
and came alone. They have been together
ever since. Mr.. Stuart was in the city
yesterday doing some trading, and he fold
with considerable pride of the birthday of
his mother. He says she will live to reach
the century mark if the present condition
of her healt hmay be judged.

that another industry will grow up
from the association. of this country
with the West Indies. The banana in
it's candied form is a delicious sweet
meat. Many people prefer it infinitely
to dried figs. 1t is simply made.
The ripe banana is cut in thin slices
and laid in the tropical sun until 1T be-
comes sweet, semi-gelatinOus mass.
The pieces are packed in boxes, with
a busting of fine sugar between each
layer, and are ready for shipment.
This process, though not elaborate, re-
quires care and watchfulness, without
which the product may be inferior and
unattractive. But if the curing and
packing are properly done and the
cured fruit is put on the American
market, it is not improbable that it
will soon take the place of the fig for
dessert purposes.-St. Louis Globe
