MUSIC AND DRAMA.
TILE PENITENT


ut is difficult to speak, in the ordinary
language of criticism, in writing of such
plays as w. +. Nankeville's production
of Hall Gaines powerful story The Peni-
tent" When a drama at the very outset
storms the fortress OF the heart and
leaves the weak bulwark and defenses of
the intellect to fall under the sureness,
dizziness. and concentration of the attack
without as much as by your leave. the
critics occupation becomes ct once easy
and difficult. Easy to speak OF praise
and difficult TO give those words a Judicial
sound such as becomes a conservative
estimate The Penitent" is 2 story OF
the passions nothing more. But such
story, intermingled with duty, with love.
with hatred. with revenge. with patience
towards 2 misguided youth and sacrifices
TO accomplish happiness-these and moth
ing more are its motives. To see how well
Hall Game preserves his reputation for
originality one needs only 10 witness the
presentation OF his latest master-work.
and the conclusion is reached that in

UNDER THE tx" RAY
Examination Made of Beckemeyer's
Fractures at ST, Francis.

Otto Beckemeyer. of Guthrie, was in the
city yesterday, having come up on the
Invitation of DR.. Bowers to have an Y
ray examination made of his left lef.
which was fractured at the knee and
ankle in this city at the time Paderwski
was here. He was at st. Francis hos
pital for six or seven weeks. and then
went home 10 Guthrie. DR.. Bowers, who
set the limb, has been anxious about its
progress and wanted to know that L
was growing together all right. The Y
ray examination yesterday gratified him
very much. The bones are growing finely
and in perfect alignment, and while Mr..
Beckemeyer still has to use crutches, he
has perfect control of the limb and its
movements.
There was great welcome for him at
the hospital when he reached there yes
terday, all the Sisters coming to him to
express their qualification at the splendid
progress he is making towards complete
recovery. The great Y ray at the hos
pital worked like charm. and after the
examination was over DR.. Bowers gave
Mr. Beckemeyer ana a reporter for the
Eagle an exemplification of its wonderful
powers. going so far as making it throw
out forked lightning. such as the clouds
emit for their edifcation.

STORY OF ADVANCEMENT

Business Rivals Once.
STORY OF ADVANCEMENT

J. E. Hurley. general superintendent of
the eastern grand division OF the Santa
Fe F. y. Risteen. mechanical superin-
tendent of the same division. and F. J.
EasIey, division superintendent OF the
middle division. arrived in the city last
night in Mr. Hurley's private car and

going as far as Purcell. The gentlemen
visited the Eagle Office last night with
L. r. Delaney and remained an hour OF
SO, giving much interesting information
concerning the polity of the Santa Fe. its
remarkable development and the influence
which it wields in western commerce.
Mr.. Hurley said ne was somewhat sur
prised TO hear from Mr.. Delaney that the
Santa Re had nearly $50 people on its pay
roll at this point. He indicated that his
road would try TO make the payroll
larger and hoped that Wichita would
materially help in doing so. He thought
il was within her power. lie shows sur
prising familiarity with the local freight
rate situation and has very clear under
standing of the extent OF the Santa Fe's
business compared with the entire bust
ness of the point
Mr.. Hurley has had a wonderful career
of advancement with the Santa Fe. When
ne received his most recent promotion to
the general superintendency Of the
eastern grand division, embracing the line
tie
branches, people began TO ask what in
huence was behind him. They didn't know
the man. The influence which brought
him all his promotions, is not behind him;
it within him. Like General Superin-
tendent Nudge. he has a big brain for
Tailroading and, besides. his capacity he
has had wide experience. Like Nudge.
he began at the bottom-driving spikes
on the grade-and has worked himself
UP by a combination Of talents and indie
fatigable energy in the application OF his
mind to the duties Of the various posi-
tions he has filled. He has built his own
ladder to high place and every round OF
it represents hard work and loyalty to
Santa Fe interests.
After beginning in trackwork and work
ing some time at it, his ambition led him
to seek Office work and he became a depot
agent. From that he went TO express
agent and worked at FL Dorado, Augusta,
wellington, and Arkansas City. He was
with the WelIs-Fargo company there
when FRANK Wood OF the wholesale
grocery house of Jet & Wood, was his
rival, working for the American Express
company. They were both boys at the
time and both have risen TO high posi-
tons since. They met yesterday for the
first time in over twenty years and knew
one another at the first glance. Mr.. Hur-
ley returned TO the regular line OF rail-
read work, while Mr.. Wood went into
the mercantile business. One has become
general superintendent OF grand division
ir his line; the other a wholesaleT in his
line. Q
Mr. Hurley is not yet ferty-three years
of age
Mr. Risteen and Mr.. Easley are both
young men who have made big advance
ment also. Neither OF them has reached
middle life and have promise of bright
future

BENEFIT TO PASTURES

which was general over this section Of
the state About o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon clouds began to gather in the
northwest and a thunderstorm formed.
The clouds spread rapidly, and by Z
o'clock the sky was overcast.
About o'clock a high wind began TO
blow, and at 1880 the rain began to fall.
For an hour the water came down in
torrents and the wind blew gale. Dur
ing this time there was Il brilliant cleo
trical storm. After $50 o'clock tie rain
sIackened and the wind went down. but
the water continued to fall until nearly
midnight
The rain last night was a great bless
ing to the people of this community. 1t
cooled off the over-heated atmosphere,
and the citizens of Wichita were able to
enjoy a refreshing rest last night for the
first time in several days.
The rain has put the soil in excellent
condition for fall blowing and sowing
1t has also greatly benefited the pac-
lures, which were beginning to suffer
from the extreme heat.
The rain was caused by the fact that
the hot air of the past few days. which
contained a great deal of moisture, was
rising to the cooler upper regions, where
the moisture was condensed.
The storm began anew after midnight
and al o'clock a severe electrical storm
was in progress. After one flash Of light
ming, followed by two sharp peals Of
thunder. the City building appeared to be
lighted up. but so far as known the
building was not struck

for this reason the association has their

eighteen people appear on the program.
The Congress of Lniputians is another
feature that has never appeared in the
west before. This company is made up of
fifteen little people. the largest under four

speciality act TO put on.
The three Cherry sisters who have
made a great reputation owing to the
originality of their acts. will be seen for
