TESTIMONIALS OF RESPECT
Charlie EsigeIOw Pleasantly Esemem-
bered by Employees OF Telephone
CgmDauV

Charles Bigelow for the past several
months cashier of the local exchange of
the Missouri and Kansas Telephone com
pany was very agreeablv surprised yes
teTday noon by being suddenly summoned
iHao the private Office Of the manager
ard being made the recipient of a pretty
token of the esteem of the ladies OF the
switchboard and the other employees. Mr..
Bigelow had already announced his resig-
nation which was to take effect the first
OF the year. the reason being his de-
palture from the city TO take up his res
idence in the future at Portland, Oregon.
As n momento of past pleasant relations
and future best wishes as well as a tes-
tirlonial OF esteem and enduring friend
ship the employees of the exchange had
secured a fine set of the late popular nov
els and at noon, during the change Of
shifts the mystiied former cashier was
quietly ushered in-o the switchboard room
by Mr.. Ross, the solicitor. and when the
tine was ripe, Miss Marie Mckenzie. as
appointed spokeswoman, approached the
victim and in a few witty. Wen chosen
words mingled with the feeling and
pathos which always attend the scenes
of parting. she remirced Mr. Biselow
Of the very pleasant relations which had
existed between al and then gave 20 MIN
the package which contained such a splen-
did assortment OF current literature as
would please any lover of books. NIr.
Bigelow. for once in his life, had little 10
say. Even his varied and notified vocab-
ulary forsook him. but with words which
deeply expressed his profound aprrecia-
ton. both of the lovely gift and the spirit

BETTER TELEPHONE SERVICE
Both Local and Long Distance, Prom
Ised by the New System.


The new Telephone company wish to
call attention to the fact that the central
energy system, which they propose to
build, is very different from that which
the people Of Wichita are used TO and so
much better than the service rendered by
the old system, which is dear at any price.
Our residence phones on party lines Of
not more than four on q line at 81 per
month, viii give perfect service, and like
all our phones viii be on full metallic
circuit and viii furnish long distance ser
vice. It IS important. however. IN a cen
trail energy system that as little exposed
wire be used as possible. In the construc-
ton OF our plant we VIII provide conduits
and cables for all phones for which we
have contracts. In order to insure per-
feet service for the future parties who are
thinking of using our phones should see
Mr.. Fmlay Ross. A NJ. Denny or any of
their solicitors and sign a contract so that
their phones may be installed while the
plant is building.

YOUNG GIRL MISSING
Miss Anna Smith May Have
Been Murdered.
FATHER is VERY ANXIOUS
Can Find No Trace of His
Daughter Since Dec. q.

Mr.. ". P. Smith. who lives about eight
nj YES southeast of this city. is very much
worked up at the present time about his
daul Inter. who recently went to work in
a hotel at Perry. Oklahoma
Miss Anna Smith is about % years old,
and veyy slight of frame, weighing. ac-
cording TO her father. only about IS
pounds She has not been away from
home vers, much, except she worked in
the Topeka Avenue hotel in this city for
a short TIME, and always bore a good
name and was well liked by Mrs. Tang
ney. except that she was hardly strong
enough 10 do the work She left the
Topeka Avenue hotel and went to learn
the dressmal1ers trade, but the necessity
10 earn a little money led her to go to
the Kenworthy employment agency and
ask for a position as \ waiter in a hotel.
The agency sent her to the Merchants
hotel in Perry This was some six weeks
ago. she did not stay at the Merchants
hotel but a few days. owing TO the fact,
as she stated to her father, that she
could not stand the work and did not like
the people. She then applied for a place
in the Pacific hotel, and seemed to like
the place very well except that the work
was too hard, and she thought of giving
the place up as soon as she could. The
matter stood thus until the 9th of De
cember, when she wrote the following
postal card TO her father:
Perry. Oklahoma, Dec. q.
MY Dear Father:-You advised me to
get away from here as soon as possible,
ana you VIII meet me at the Santa Re
depot VIII you not be there tomorrow
evening if 7 come? # I am not at the
depot I VIII be at the dressmaker's where
] worked. Am sick ard in the worst
trouble I ever had. Lovingly yours,
ANNIE.
II I am not there. please send
ticket.
To a reporter for the Eagle last night
1lr Smith said:
Il was at the train and she did not
come. and ] deposited the money and
wired her a ticket. The next day L sup
posed that she would come, and she did
not. so I enquired of the agent whether
she had been notified. and he telegraphed
TO Perry and this morning received the
reply that she had been notified. sup
posed IHaL she WOutN surely come on To-
days train. and when she did not
knew that she was being held by some
one. or that she had been foully dealt
with. I don't know Uhat TO do. I am
going to telephone and find out from the
proprietor of the hotel where she worked
what he knows about her. If he cant
tell. j don't know what 10 do"
Mr. Smith telephoned to Perry last
evening. but could not find out where she
was or what she was doing. He firmly
believes that she was being held by some
one and that she was sick. He said that
she said she had been insulted by some
drunken people IN the hotel, and he thinks
that she may have been murdered. Mr..
Smith VIII go to Perry to look into the
matter if he hears nothing from her on
todays train.
Frank Treadwell. Bennett Ia, was
troubled with kidney disease fo- two
years. He writes: Il had taken several
kinds Of kidney remedies. but with little
benefit. Finally I tried FOLEN'S KID.
