Runaway Texas Boy Improves
at Hospital.
NO FAREWELLS ALLOWED
Realized Danger of Meeting
and Left Without a Word.

Young Tillman, the boy tramp who was
saved from probable death by being
timely placed in St Francis hospital by
the man Alger, with whom he had travel
ed for some time, is improving slowly
and his physicians believe he is on fair
way to recovery. He is suffering from
typhoid pneumonia. Monday night the
boys temperatures was 103, but yesterday
there was less fever. He is receiving the
best of care and his Brother, O.. S. Till
man of Waco, Tex, who was called here
under most peculiar circumstances, will
RI main until he RECEIVERS, wnen he will
be taken to his home.
Mr.. Alger, though extremely regrettins
to leave his young friend, realized that
roaming over the country from town to
town and suffering the hardships Incl
dent to a life of this kind, was not the
proper education for the lad, and he left
town Monday morning. Before taking
his departure he sought to bid his youth
full companion goodbye, but he was re-
fused admission to the hospital at the
request of Mr. Tillman, who feared that
the meeting might agitate his brothet
and make him worse. Subsequent events
concerning the boys sickness and his
travels with the strange man have proven
TO those interested that Mr.. Alger is not
common tramp. He is a man above
the ordinary intelligence and his per
sistent efforts in attempting to have a
farewell meeting is additional evidence or
his devotion to his young friend.
Fearing that during his absence from
home that his junior relative had gotten
into some trouble that would come to
light later to spot the fair name of the
family, Mr.. Tillman had several inter
views with Mr.. Alger before pursuading
him to leave town. The result of the
consultations was satisfactory to the
Texan and to a reporter for the Eagle
he said:
81 am convinced now that the man was
very fond Of my brother. At first sus-
pected that he was attempting to extort
money from me. but in his letter to me
he gave such a minute description of him
that I knew I could not be mistaken and
came here to investigate. His straight
forward and interesting talk satisfies me
that his life is free from any criminal
wrong and our family feels very grateful
toward him for furnishing tidings that
led to his detention. The boy left home
in fit of anger, and the truth of the
matter is that his sense Of pride was too
great for him to return home"
Mr.. TilIman Will go to Kansas City to-
day. but will return IN a rev days to
remain here until his brother RECEIVERS.
Mr.. Tillman comes from proud Texas
family and is prominent In Waco, where
he is secretary and treasurer OF large
publishing company. 1t is his intention
to give the boy a position with his house
when he returns. He believes that the
young mans present experience will be
an object lesson and that he will never
venture from home again.

MILLION DOLLAR RAIN
Was General Over Kansas and
Oklahoma.
WHEAT CROP ASSURED
Danger of Damage From
ChinchbugS Removed.

Yesterday and Monday nights vista
ton of rain is of vast Importance in
this section Of the country, where bus
mess interests depend largely upon the
wheat crop. Reports from the wires show
that it was general over the middle
western and southern states This prac-
tically insures the safety OF the wheat
crop from the sun and the chinch bugs.
In Southern Kansas. Oklahoma and the
Indian territory and as far south as
Texas and New Mexico came confirming
reports Of a good, soaking rain. Coming
at the right time, it was one Of those
kind Of rains that makes the farmer feet
so jubilant that he stands out in it in
his shirt sleeves. It appears that nature
has been extremely favorable IN this in
stance although the precipitation did not
come too soon. The ground was getting
dry and the wheat stalks and buds, on
the verge of ripening, were beginning TO
Wither under the burning sun. The
chinch bug, too, was pulling IN ann
chinch bug, too. was putting in an ap-
pearance. and the farmers were bitterly
complaining Of the pest, fearing that the
visitors. coupled with the long dry spell,
would materially injure the wheat crop.
This fear has been almost absolutely re-
moved. The long. cold rain was damag-
Ing to the bugs and nothing but food
will impair the chances Of large crop.
The wheat buds are now maturing and
unless the elements take extreme meas
ures, the harvest, in a few weeks, will he
a rich one.
To Wichita the precipitation was sTmp-
ly delightful. The business men feel that
1t has helped them wonderfully and the
principal comment yesterday was on the
topic of rain. On the south end of the
Santa Fe road, al along the line and fan
into Oklahoma. the precipitation measur-
ed from one-half to an inch, while on
the north end, as far up as Topeka, it
was from one to two inches. Reports
along the lines of the Rock Island are
that the rain was a glorious one. On
the Missouri Pacific it extended from
FortScott to Hoisington and farther west.
Similar reports also came from the Den
yer. Memphis and Atlantic branch Of the
Missouri Pacific.
Together with the free homes bill, just
passed. the rain viii make the farmers in
Oklahoma doubly rejoice.

Man Who Knew Dennis Flynn in the

RAIN INTERFERED LAST NIGHT
Girls OF SOrosis Postpone Their Enter
tain Lneut.

Owing to the rain the girls Of Sorosis,
at Paramount college, postponed their
entertainment, which was to have been
given last night, until tonight. The en-
tertainment consists Of six scenes from
THE Merchant Of Venice and the parts
are all taken by girls. The large chapel
in the college has been specially arranged
for the event and some Of the costumes
which will be worn by the young ladies
are quite elaborate.
Last year the Soross girls gave 1.-THE
Princess in the college chapel, and
judging from the success of that enter
tainment the six scenes from The Mer
chant Of Venice" will be very interesting.
Cars will be held at the college until
after the entertainment, for the benefit
Of the down town people.

great misfortune TO the street railway

TWENTY-THREE YEARS AGO
Flood Ragged in the Arkansas Valley
in ES77

On May 20, 1877, food visited the Ar
kansas valley. Yesterday the Eagle re-
ceived a communication from a farmer,
bewailing the fact that If it did not rain
at once the wheat crop would be a de-
cided failure. No doubt the farmer has
forgotten about the communication since
the elements have been so favorable, and
now that it has rained an inch or so
more, and the sun still obscrubed by the
clouds, the Eagle will no doubt receive
a communication today from the same
source to the effect that unless the rain
ceases at once, the corn viii be drowned
and the weeds substituted for the crop.
The farmers in this valley never had
better crop, and consequently more money
in the history Of the country, than they
had the year Of the great flood.
