An Exodus from Canada.

Dominion papers are excited this
spring over an exceptionally large migra-
ton of Canadians to the United States.
The tide is always strong. but this year
il goes beyond former figures. the can
adam estimate is that since January ~
900 persons have removed TO this country
from the province Of quebec alone. the
Canadian controller of customs reports
that $4,000 worth of household effects
were taken TO the United States in the
twelve months with which his report
deals. and two-thirds was from the pro-
vince of Ontario. This loss Of thousands
of Industrious families gives anxious con-
Germ TO the officials of the Dominion. The
Canadian press treat 1t In various ways.
A Quebec paper implores Its compatrlots
to turn their attention TO the unsetueu
sections of Canada. One ministerial jour-
nal declares that the emlgrahts are
"brutes of base ingratitude' ana II
barshIy hopes that their happiness may

ODD STRIKE IN WHEELING.
Popular support of strikers Against
Sfreet-Car COmpunies,

WHEELING, w. VA. May B.-One OF
the most peculiar strikes probably ever
known in the United States has been in
progress for five weeks on the Wheeling
street-railway lines. The remarkable fea-
ture Of the contest is the unanimity Of the
support of the strikers by the population
Of Wheeling and the surrounding towns.
The men struck for 20 cents an hour,
with nine hours as a days work. All the
cars are in operation, and the company
is not having any trouble in running them.
1t is estimated, however, that not over
five persons ride on the entire system
during the day, whereas bus lines run
by the strikers are largely patronlzed.

HE FIGURED WRONG
Fftz simmons Witness Counted on
Fees He Didn't Set.

A colored man by the name of Simmons,
from FL Dorado. was in an unfortunate
fix yesterday at the court house. He had
come over from FL Dorado as a witness
for the defense in the F'itz simmons trial
and by that act had lost his job. He
thought he would be in good shape any
way in a DAY or two after the trial. be
cause he figured on getting some cash for
his services as witness. When he went
broke. which happened TO he on the coolest
day of the year. he called at the court
house for his money. Not until then did
ne learn the important truth that the state
does not pay the witnesses of defendant
when said defendant IS convicted. Sim
mons was then in very bad plight. He
had lost his job at r Dorado and was out
in the cold world busted. and al for the
sake Of colored brother who had just
been given df,y years in the peuitendary.
Simmons tried TO work on the sympathy
of Commissioner Wilson. but the scheme
failed and he left the court room uttering
words Of disgust.

James Phillips, the unfortunate man who
met with such 4. sad death, has been liy-
ing for some months past with his family
a wife and daughter, at $50 South Empo-
ria. He was at one time connected with
McNabon Bros circus as one OF the bust
ness managers. He has not been with the
circus company since the season that Joe
Mcmahon was killed in this city by Sher-
if Cunningham of Texas. He has lived
here off and on since that time, passing
most OF his time in hunting and fishing.
He had a great many friends in the city
being popularity known as a generous
hearted fellow with those he knew and al
ways ready to respond to the needy when
they were in Strengthened circumstances.
He was possessed Of some means and was
intending to purchase, a little home in a
few days. The abstract was in the hands
OF a local attorney for examination. Mr..
Phillips wife IS beside herself with grief
and his daughter is almost hysterical. Mrs.
Phillips said yesterday: 'If my husband
had not been so anxious to send a small
package by express to a friend in Hot
Springs, Ark, ne would be alive now, but
he left to go TO the express office, and I
have lost him and his companionship for
ever" She said he did not want to go out

APPROVED OFFICERS BON DIS
County commissioners Kept Very

The county commissioners put in the day
yesterday approving bonds of the new

bonds were approved during the day.
There are for each township a trustee
clerk, treasurer. one or more justices of
the peace and a like number of constables.
besides the officers of the school districts,
being three to each district. The bond of
each Of these officers had to have a 90
cent revenue stamp affixed, and there was
more grumbIng to the square inch when
this subject came up than has been heard
around the court house in a year before.
The officers of a school district do not get
a cent of pay. but they had to give up the
80 cents Just thesame All of the bonds pre-
sented yesterday were accepted and ap-
proved by the commissioners. with the ex-
ception of one or two that were irregular

He WANTED TO DIE
Joseph TeiIen Takes a Dose
of Morphine.
CAME HERE FROM TEXAS
Taken TO Hospital Where He
Died Last Night.

Last night at 10 o'clock Joseph Teilen
died at the Wichita hospital from an over
dose of morphine. He was taken 70 the
hospital in the ambulance yesterday al
ternoon about O'Clock. from 40 East
Douglas avenue, where he wandered in,
few minutes before the case was re-
ported to the police, and sat down in
chair by the fire The proprietors think
ing the old man, for he was nearly 10
years of age, was cold and weary, did not
pay any attention to him until they were
attracted by his loud breathing, when
word was sent to the police station, and
Assistant Chief Massey and Officer Stew
art responded with the ambulance. Teilen
was taken to the station and afterward
TO the hospital, where the physicians
found that the man was suffering from
! dose of morphine. The man remained
| unconscious from the time he was found
until he died at 10 O'Clock last night II
was not known who he was until report
er for the Eagle made inquiries among
those who had seen the man in the
neighborhood of the Topeka Avenue no.
tel, where it was learned that he had at
| one time worked for Mr.. Tagney, the pro-
prietor who gave to the reporter the fol-
lowing story:
Joe, as we called him, was an old fell
low who came here about five or six
months ago from Texas. I think it was
from Fort Worth. He was quite Old but
wanted to work and l gave him job.
He seemed to have spells of dependency
and at times was sulky, but never paid
any attention to him and he would get
over it and go about mis- work again a
usual. About two weeks ago he began to
drink a little and after a while he would
go off for day at a time, always return
ing at night, and l allowed him to sleep
at the hotel. In the morning he would
take cup of coffee and sometimes eat a
little breakfast and then go away for the
day. While he worked 1 paid him s.
week and his board. With what he pick
ed up around in tips he saved quite lit
tie money which l presume he has spent
since he began to drink. All that was
known about him while he was here was
that he had at one time lived at Fort
Worth. He said he had met with business
reverses during the year previous and
thought he woull a some time end his
life if things did not change for the bet
ter. He left the hotel early this morning
and 1 have cen looking for him to come in
as the day has been such bitter cold one
I thought he would want to get in out of
the weather"
The police knew nothing about Teilen
when inquiries were made. They had
seen him around the streets occasionally,
but had not noticed that the man was
drinking.
The body will be removed to Gilrs IN
dertaking rooms today, where an inquest
will probably be held

Judge w. c. Hook, the new appoointee.
The first term under the new judge Will
be crowded with business and full of in
terest to lawyers and litigants alike. At
this term, beginning in March, Oh bust
ness that has been running in the courts
for years by reason of continuance, will
be disposed of, and there Will he a grea
amount of new business that is now COM
ing to this court, where it naturally be-
longs. During the last few years Judge
Foster has been unable to attend to the
business in this court as eXpeditiously as
was demanded. and in his absence Judge
Williams of Fort Smith has been sent
here to do the best he could with the
business of the court. So tired have the
people of this district become with this
kind of business that of late years not
half of the business that rightfully be-
LONGS to this court has been sent here,
but now that Judge Hook has been ap-
pointed the business of the court will be
rapidly built up under his wide-awake
