Aguinaldo'S Appearance.

"I saw Aguinaldo in Hong-Kong Ia
the early part of 1897" said E. B. Gun

New Orleans. Il was representing an
English firm at the time, and was ar
ranging a deal for some Manila heluI

One day l recalled at Chargan's oflc,
and found him in conversation with 6
swarthy young Filipino, who was in
troduced to me as Aguinaldo. l had
heard a good deal of the insurgen
chief, so l looked at him with decidet
curiosity. What impressed me mos
strongly about him was his extremely
youthful appearance. He did not lcoa

iuvenility was borne out by his stoop'
ing shoulders and narrow chest. H,

His features were distinctly Mongolian
his cheekbones high, his eyes oblique
his nose short and blunt, and his lip,
rather thick. He had no sign of beard
on his face, but his hair was coarse

NEW CONFIDENCE GAME
Worked Successfully on q Mr.. Simp-
son by wichita TOughs

An unsophisticated man named Simp-
son, who stopped over from one train
to another yesterday while on his way to
Little Rock, Ark, struck a friend and
now he Is minus $50, which $50 will likely
never get to Arkansas. Mr.. Simpson ar
rived on the forenoon Missouri Pacific
train yesterday. He wanted to see few
sights. There happened to be at the
train a man who could show him around.
The two went together along the frazzley
edges OF Wichita street. Near the alley
just south Of the Missouri Pacific depot
the Wichita man found a small paddock,
such as is generally used on bicycles.
He innocently picked It up and the unso-
phisdcated Simpson looked at 1t. It had
tho key In 1t and they could lock 1t and
unlock 1t easily. Just then two more
Wichita men walked up and began to talk
about the paddock, trying to make Simp-
son think 1t was no account because 1t
could not be opened. Mr.. Simpson said
It could, because his partner, had just
opened 1t. The two strangers and Mr..
Simpson and his "friend" got into a hot
argument and finally one Of the strangers
offered to bet Mr.. Simpson $50 he couldn
not open It. Mr.. Simpson was not afraid
to back his judgment. so he put up the
$50. Then Mr.. SIMPSONS friend quietly
changed the paddock, and replacing It
with another one which could not be
opened. OF course Mr.. Simpson lost his
money, and his friend" who was the
''capper." sympathized with him while
the two strangers hurried away. Some
one saw the men run with the money
and telephoned Sheriff Simmons. Mr..
Simmons soon had the "capper" in
charge and would have gotten the other
two. but Mr.. Simpson was so badly beaten
that he would not remain for another
train and told the sheriff to let the mat
ter drop. He then hurried 20 the depot
and took the first train out for Arkan-

Yesterday Marked au Epoch in Camp

Last evening marked an epoch in camp
meeting annals of Wichita The Holiness
camp meeting in South Riverside Park
drew thousands. cSast all the other streets
in the city were dull and dreary with
the exception of those leading to the park,
and they were damned with vehicles of
various sorts and bicycls. Central ave-
nue.. especially, was lined with people
going to and from the park. The CEN
ter of Riverside presented 4 new scene
to the eye Of the spectator, and 1t was a
beautiful scene. The large tent, made TO
accommodate 1000 persons, was not large
enough for those who wanted admission
last night. But the evangelists' voice
could be heard for a great distance out
side of the tent and everyone enjoyed the
services who could get in hearing dis
lance. The park is beautifully lighted,
and there is plenty of drinking water for
the multitudes, besides a refreshment
stand near Mrs. CaSad's dining hall. A
great many tents have arrived and been
set up since Sunday and every one OF the
tents owned by the camp meeting COM
mittee has been rented by persons from a
distance. The individual tents now sur
round the large meeting tent and are loca-
ted with great precision like the tents OF
an army. The services will grow in inter
est from day TO day and 1t Is expected
that one OF the best camp meetings In the
history OF the association will be had

tester Makes New statement About
His sister.

His sister.
A question has been raised by an aitor-
ney in the Jester case as to whether,
without more direct testimony that has
vet been discovered, or is likely to be DIS
covered. 1t will be possible to convict Jes-
ter of murder in the first degree. 1t is
the opinion of this attorney that Jester
cannot possibly be convicted of any higher
degree than the second. The punishment
fixed by law for murder is a term not lea
than ten oars Imprisonment in the penn
tentiary. According to this attorneys
view the prosecution will find It impossi-
BILE to prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that the murder Of Gates was committed
by Jester. IL at all, deliberately and pre-
meditately, which is necessary to a con-
viction Of murder in the first degree.
1t Is not claimed by the prosecution; in
fact, they proceed upon the contrary the
DRY, thai anyone was present when the
murder was committed.

TOMMY'S TOE

Mess

Tommy Anderson. the little son Of
Sam Anderson. train porter at the Carey,
had his large toe ground of yesterday
in the chain Of bicycle. The doctors
think they will have to take off more of
the foot in order to get down TO undam-

well as an uncommon accident, but will
prove a lesson to barefoot boys who ride
wheels. Young Anderson was riding be-

Anderson had no rest for his feet, so he
let them hang on either side OF the

TALLESTC CORN STALK
In the World to Be Exhibited
at Paris.
WICHITA WILL COMPETE
Oklahoma and Texas After
the Distinction.

wichita and sedgwick county has an
opportunity to get big advertisement at
the Paris exposition next year. One corn
stalk, the tanest raised in the United
States is to be exhibited by the nation
in the American exhibit at Paris and the
chances are that somewhere in Sedgwiek
county there rs growing today that very
corn stalk. The question is to find 1t.
Yesterday ]. H. Shepherd OF Fargo,
North Dakota. getting in the capacity as
assistant grain expert OF the United
States commission of the Paris EXPOSE
ton, came to Wichita for the purpose OF
securing grain exhibits. He will try to
secure from Sedgwick county samples OF
soft and hard wheat and IL the county
can furnish 1t, the tallest corn stalk in
the world.
Mr.. Shepherd said to reporter for
the Eagle that the commissioners had
decided to take the taHest corn stalk they
could find in the United States. They will
take but one This will be set up in the
American exhibit with tags on IT in sew
eral languages explaining where 1t was
grown and by whom. Mr.. Shepherd made
arrangements with Ross Brothers, the
seed men, 10 receive these tall stalks.
The stalks will be measured and the
height of the tallest one sent on to him,
and IL IL overtops the stalks from other
points he win order 1t sent on to him.
Paris, Texas, is keen in the competition,
as is Oklahoma City and Ponca City.
The Ponca City people claim that they
will get a corn stalk eighteen feet high.
This Is rather a big guess and the corn
stalk that is seventeen feet high will
probably go ahead Of all the others. Ponca
City and Oklahoma City are great towns
but they can't begin to touch Wichita
and Sedgwick county on corn stalks.
There is one in the Eagle Office at this
moment, when the season is not nearly at
an end, that IS fourteen feet high. This
was picked out of field without a search
for particularly high one. Somewhere
there Is growing in this county the tallest
corn stalk in the world and It ought to
be brought in to town.
The manner in which the stalk is kept
green Is by hanging II up in the dark.
The measurement will include the roots,
the stalks being set upright on the ground
when measured. The Sedgwick county
farmers should bring IN their tallest
stalks. There is no reward for the tall
est stalk. It Is merely competition, the
man growing the tallest getting fame and
honor by advertisement at the worlds
exposition.
