Little in Colorado that his broken leg is mending fast and he expects to be about without crutches at an early date. Little Lsom Loudermilk died July 23 at his father's home in Goddard, Ivan., he was but S months old, he was sick but one day. All efforts possible were made to have the little one but he was called, and had to go. Three little girls aged 4, 10 and 11 years respectively, by consent of their father, Ilarman Waltycn, were taken from S01 Walnut street, West Side, and placed in the Childrens' home, yesterday, by Lou Aspey of the Humane society. The jasperite is going down in earnest. Douglas avenue will soon be the biggebt thing in the way of a street in the United States, to see which delegation will come from eastern cities. There is nothing like it in the world. Time will tell the rest of the story. The Telephone company and tho Street Railway company have been laboring long and earnestly in the hope of compromising their difficulties, as the wires of the two companies are not congenial, but it begins to look as if the courts would bo resorted to for the solution of the pioblem. Lady cashiers in restaurants are to be pit ied. Fidelity to their employers compel them to be civil to every guy that comes along and allow him to think in the back part of his mind that she is smitten. One would suppose married men would have bettersense but they aro worse than the boys. Deputy United States Marshal George Walker was in the city yesterday making preparations for an extensive trip through Oklahoma Territory, where he will subpoena about twelve hundred witnesses to appear at the September term of the United States court to be held in Wichita. He will make the trip on horseback. About twenty-five delegates from No-maLs-land passed through the city on the Fouth bound Rock Island jKissenger train yesterday morning en route to Oklahoma. While at the depot, one of thoui made a neat little speech to the crowd assembled in which he eulogized tho "Peerless, Princess.'' and the editor of the EAGLK. Mr. W. M. James, of El Passo, Tex., has been in the city for several days having come to Wichita to attend the funeral of Mrs. Lyeth. He will only lie able to pro long his visit for a short time as much as lie likes the appearance of things here. As Mr. James comes from an enterprising lit tle city he can appreciate the go abend qualities which seem to belong to Wichita naturally. Mr. H. M. Jones, of 11:29 Jackson street, had a valuable watch stolen on Tuesday morning early from his residence. The thief effected an entrauce into the house through a back window and probably would have secured more plunder if Mrs. Jone had not waked and given the alarm. Before Mr. Jones could get up however the marauder had made good his escape and left no trace behind. The police think they have a clue to the matter but as yet nothing has developed. Bev. W. C. Taylor, of Buffalo, N. Y., ho is visiting the First Baptist church in this city upon imitation of that society, paid tho Eagle sanctum a visit yesterday in company with Mr. J. Y. Montague. Mr. Taylor is a graduate of the Rochester The ological seminary, since leaving which in stitution ho has occupied the pastorate of one of thechnrchesof that denomination in Buffalo. He appears to be a young man of fine attainments aud of very pleasing address. It is expected that he will occu py the pulpit of the First Baptist church next Sunday, morning and evening. HAEHESS AM SADDLEKY. A BUSINESS THAT SHOWS BIG EE SULTS. Henry Schad During' Four Years En larges His Business to Keep Pace With the Trade The Growth of Wichita as a Distributing Point Affects All Lines of Business Fine Harness a Spe cialty. OTS of business en terprises have al ready been referred to in the columns of the Eagle and yet the work of giv ing each one that the city can boast, a passing notice at least, seems only be gun. Wichita can undoubtedly boast of more successful business houses than any other city in the west in pro portion to popula tion. The success ful business houses in most cities have sprung up gradual ly one this year and one next year and so ou and it is safe to say that the failures compared with success have been two to one. In Wichita they have commenced business at the rate of two or three hun dred a year aud it is an encouraging fact that it is very seldom a failure is recorded. The rapid growth of Wichita as a distrib uting point has effected all departments of trade aud has naturally forced many retail merchants into a jobbing trade that has rapidly grown until it has astonished even themselves. The vast territory west and south looks to Wichita as a distributing point and this constant demand has made many of the merchants rustle. It is a commonthing to hear that merchants have to rustle for business but it is left for Wichita to furnish an instance where the merchants had to rustle to take FItOXT VIEW OF FACTOUV. care of the business that came to them without any effort of their part. Without exception, however, this trade has been taken care of and none of it allowed to escape, and the enterprise of the Wichita merchants has been equal to the emergency. In speaking of this matter yesterday Mr. Henry Schad said that he located in Wich ita four years ago because he recognized that there was an opening for harness and saddlery and could clearly see that tho fu ture promised enlargement of the al ready promising field, but he never sup posed for a moment that the increase in his trade would be so fast and enormous. He had also noticed with pleasure that his line of business was not the only one which was reaping a rich harvest, and it was with a great deal of satisfaction that he made up his mind to enlarge from time to time and take care of the trade that came to him with scarcely any solicitation. He had opened up on a scale that was in keeping with the trade which was in sight aud being conservative had only enlarged his factory as there was actual demand for it. He considered a comparison of his business from month to month was a pretty fair estimate of the proportionate growth of the entire city as time had advanced. Such a comparison was very gratifying to him aud there was no good reason why similar comparisons could not be made with as satisfactory re sults in almost every business in the city. Mr. Schad was a harness maker in War saw, 111., for fifteen years and his practical knowledge of tho details of the business CASE OF TURF GOODS, has been one of his greatest aids to snecoss and has given his harness a reputation that enables it to compete in quality and prices with any manufactory in the west. This experience and the high grade of labor he employed naturally made his fine harness a feature of his trade and uncon sciously the higher priced class of harness became a kind of specialty. It is jut four years since the white horse, his trade mark, first took its position in front of his 'establishment 105 West Douglas. If ever a horse was well cared for this one is in tho summer time he is covered with a handsome fly net and such ornrmental trappings as add to the comfort of an animal aud during the cold blasts of winter a soft wool blaiiket enables him to defy all chilling draught. Reference of anv length could scarcely be made to Mr. Schad's business without mentioning J2X.'l jV ipl I WZMm Ml 9 If It n 1 'OS UENR.Y ScHfg. iOS j h r r s c o o o o.s zz vhs P3 '"Jv J T mmm the white horse which is his trade mark and is always associated in the mind with anything appertaining to his business. The factory is on the south side of West Douglas avenue and is 25x73 feet, built of brick and two stories high. The front of the ground floor is used for a show room and salesroom, while the rear is the repair department. The regular workshop is up stairs, where all of the latest improved machinery is brought into play when its work is equal to hand work. A new stitcher which does the work of seven men is an object of interest and quite a curios ity. The nicetj- of its work is pronounced equal to hand made in durability, whiie its eveness and regularity is perfectly uni form. Ten men are employed in the work shop the year round, and with tneir pres ent facilities about 100 sets of harness can be turned out annually In spite of this enormous production a glass show case about twenty-five feet long and ten wide is large enough to hold all the harness kept in stock. Next year it is proposed to en large the entire establishment again as at present it is forced to work to its full ca pacity, and the increase of trade which an other year promises will be embarrassing. Several traveling men will go out another season to cover a still more extended ter ritory, and this feature of the trade made a separate branch. Mr. Schad claims to have had the lead in the city trade for a long time and the qualtity and finish of his harness seems to warrant him in this belief. The harness show case occupies the west front of the ground floor is quite an interesting sight. At present it contains several hundred sets of harness of all kinds and prices. He carries the largest and finest stock of turf goods in the west nnd the horsemen all know the quality of this line. Every conceivable thing that is incidental to the business or can be called for is carried in stock in qualities to suit all orders. Every piece of work turned out in the factory is subject to the closest scrutiny by Mr. Schad personally and thus his har ness has never been known to give dissat isfaction. His long experience enables him to avoid any material that is not up to the mark and his policy is that the best is the cheapest for both himself and the consumer. The establishment is well ordered and everything about it is ar ranged according to the method that is quite pleasing. THE COUNTY" NOltJIAU The Sedgwick County Normal Institute opened yesterday morning in the Lewis academy with the most flattering pros pects of any institute that has yet been held in Sedgwick county, there being a much larger attendance for the first day than in any previous year. The large assembly of teachers was called together at S:40 in the large audi torium of the academy, and the first ex ercises consisted of scripture reading and prayer by Prof. Naylor, after which Super intendent Pence extended a hearty greet ing to the teachers, and addressed them briefly and to the point about the purpose for which they had come together, and gave them many valuable hints as to how they should best improve the time and make the institute a success. The popular conductor, Prof. J. M. Nay lor, was then introduced, and gave an elo quent and glowing account of the prepara tion a teacher should make for his import ant work, and showed the benefits that could be derived from faithful work and earnest endeavor at the Normal institute. The corps of instructors are eminently qualified for the positions they fill, and are exceedingly popular with the teachers, and County Superintendent Pence deserves due ciedit for tho wise choice he has made. Prof. H. W. Charles is the oracle who has charge of reading, bookkeeping, grammar, and the efficient work he did last year is the best intimation as to what will be his success this year. Prof. J. C. South is thoroughly con versant with his subjects georgraph phy siology and writing, and with the energy, scholarship and enthusiasm fpr which he is noted, his classes cannot fail to occupy the front rank. Prof. R. S. Lawrence has charge of calisthenics, arithmetic and constitution, and to judge by beginnings, he is master of the situation and will be a popular and successful instructor. Something new iu the institute is the primary department, under the charge of Miss Bryson, who is one of the most suc cessful of the citv teachers. Miss Biyson has charge of primary reading and ortho graphy, and gives most excellent instruc tion in regard to teaching beginners how to read, and likewise to spell and pro nounce. Everyone in attendance at the normal seems full of enthusiam and energy, and the teachers are just warming up to faithful earnest work. The rooms in the academy are most pleasant ones, and the four weeks will be weeks of pleasure as well as of profit. The classes were all organized and good lessons were heard, and the first day passed off pleasantly, all the teachers present feeling that it was a good begin ning. XOTES. It was noticable that the number of young teachers is far in excess of any pre vious year. The funny man of the institute was not there yesterday, so there are no jokes to day about the "survival of the fittest" etc. The teachers all feel thankful for the pleasant location of the Lewis academy nnd think it is just the place for the nor mal. There are many new faces among the at tendants this year, and doubtless when all the "old standbys" return Sedgwick county will again have the banner insti tute of the state. Such are the prospects and such will lie result the grandest, best and most profitable institute of Kan sas will be right here iu Sedgwick county. THE CHJLBKEVi JIOM.E CAME JN HANDY Yesterday evening just before dark a man having the appearance of an honest laborer came into the police court, carry ing in his arms a little girl probably not 3 years of age. He laid his burden down on one of the seats, using a buudle which he had as a pillow, and asked to oe directed to the Childrens home. He gave his name as Michael Graham and said he had just arrived from Argonia, telling a strange story. A continuous family broil, which was no recent affair, decided him in leav ing home, and his wife's weakness for strong drink made it advisable for him to take the child. He found himself in a strange city with very little money and a child in his care which would cer tainly be taken sick if not placed where it could have proper nourishment immedi ately. Through the kindness of the police he was directed to Agent Aspey, who got the little one in the home for the present. She is a sweet little thing and cried piti fully when separated from her father. Mrs. Craig ordered a warm bath for her nnd some bread and milk and it was only a few minntes before she was safely in that strange happy place where sleepy children go to get rid of all tbeir troubles. The father intends to get work hare to dav and will only be too glad to pay for the support of hL- cbikl if it may be kept at home. He does not know just what turn affairs will take at argoain bet thinks they are all to heartless to ever ask for the child mueh lees &eek for her. HOGS, HOGS, HOGS. Forty-One Honored and Ten On the Wichita Market Yesterday. Yesterday was certainly a record break er by several hundred hogs at the Wich ita union stock yards. They just poured in from every direction and on every train, from early morning until after the market closed at night. Every body connected with the yards took the heavy ruu in a matter of fact sort of a way, as the supply of hogs on this market during the past few months has been so far in advance of the hopes of the most sanguine that it makes little difference how fast the sup ply increases, they think it is as it should be, and manage to take care of the hog3 in good shape and find a market for them without the least bit of excitement. Who says now, that the new; live stock market of the southwest is 'not a sure winner? Just watch her for about one year longer, and see her take front place among the great live stock markets of the world. The wonderful and rapid increace and growth of this market is attracting a great deal of attention from the great packers of Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha, and it is safe to say that if this wonderful increase and growth continues, that July 1, 1S91, will see two or three more large packing plants in successful operation here. Let the good work go on, let the hogs come and let more packing houses come, Wichita will prove herself fully equal to the task of taking care of both in a most satisfactory manner. DIED. Mrs. Lydia Emminger, mother of Mrs. M. L. Garver, died last night about 11 o'clock. Short funeral services will be held at the house (No. 1005 North Market street), this evening ac 5 o'clock, conduct ed by Rev. J. D. Hewett, preparatory to leaving with the remains on Thursday morning for Mansfield, O. The friends of the family are invited to the services. CAJtD Or THAMui To the people of Goddard we feel very greatful who so kindly lent a helping hand and endeavored to console us through the sickness and death of our darling little lsom. The God of heaven and earth will not forget such acts of kindness. We in deed feel very thankful and their kind words and help will never be forgotten. J. D. Loupermilk, and Sister Miss Emma. CHILDREN'S HOME SPEAKS. Will the mothers of Wichita please spare some of their half worn calico dresses to be made over for the girls at the Children's home? We have taken iu three girls, 4, 10 and 12 years of age, who are destitute, and since the first of May, 1S90, have sent out twenty-three children. With all of these we send a change of clothing, so our stock of garments is quite reduced. Anythiug will be acceptable, and can be sent to the home, 119 Pennsylvania avenue, or to my home, G3S North Lawrence avenue. In behalf of the "little ones," Mrs. E. J. Foster, Pres. SI'ECIAIj DECORATED CAR. Arrangements have been concluded with the Rock Island by the Woman's Relief corps for a special car to leave here on the Sth for the grand army encampment at Boston. A special sleeper is to be attached which is to bo appropriately and hand somely decorated. This train will join the official tram of Ira Collins, department commander, and staff at Topeka. The route will be over the Rock Lslaud to Chi cago thence via the Chicago Atlantic, Erie, Deleware ami Hudson Canal Co. and Hoosac tunnel with a short stop over at Niagara. APPRECIATION. The relatives of Mrs. Lyeth wish to pub licly express their appreciation of the sym pathetic and kind manner in which the people of El Paso generally manifested their sorrow for the accident which cast a gloom over their city. Everyone did their utmost while there was anything to do aud the day was one of general quiet out of re spect to the dead. Several large financial transactions of the utmost importance to the city, which were to have culminated on that clay were postponed, and the quiet of the Sabbath characterised the entire city. A COUNTERFEITER JAILED. Sheriff W. Lyttle, County No. Three, Oklahoma, who brought up one of the counterfeiters lately apprehended and bound over, called yesterday after seeing his prisoner safely locked up in tho Sedg wick bastile. Sheriff Lyttle exhibited to us some of the bogus siiver dollars with which some of the towns in Oklahoma were flooded. The work is rather poor, but one man at Gutdrie got eight of them in one day. Mr. Lyttle says that outside of the Chickasaw nation the crop prospect in Oklahoma is exceedingly discouraging and that the Chickasaw country will not make more thin a half crop. It has been both hot and dry, but the people know that they have a good country aud a good soil and are hopeful. CHANCE FOR JJENEVOLENCE. There are so few cases of real destitution in this city that a case now and ttien it seems should be looked after. Mr. O. C. Daisy yesterday received a note from .Mrs Thornton, 937 North Market street, and although it was evident from the contents the letter was not intended for him he aud his wife paid her a -visit and found that she was really in need of assistance. She is very low with consumption and her only company is an aged father and mother. Pride kept her from ask ing assi-tance until the case was desperate, when she wrote to Mr. Daisy, confounding the name with Basley which she had heard men tioned in connection with the benevolent home. Mr. Daisy gave her $5 just to set a good example and suggests that the benevolent ladies of the city take it upon themselves to investigate the matter at once. A LEAVENWORTH CAPITALIST. Mr. D. M. Barnes, of Leavenworth, called on the Eaglk yesterday in company with j S. B. Amidon, Esq. Mr. Barnes, who is j recognized as one auioncthe strongest cap- j italistsof Leavenworth and one of her j most prominent uusma.- hkw, smi m hadD't forgotten the reasons personally urged by the Eagle's editor three year, ago why Wichita must ultimately make one of the country crealest cities and that he still believed the posiUon cormct j and he had come down to take in a valu- t able niece of property on a foreclosure sale. 3lr. Barnes believes practical prohibition j officers of the state should make greater efforts to enforce the law. He would not speak for Wichita but he evidently thinks that there is much reHUsoneas around Leaveuworth. A TI.-IT TO Tilt KIOWA STOCK KAEiL, j Dr. Phillips veterinary srgeon, was called to the Kiowa stock farm on Friday by the proprietor. Mr Frank H. Shei.y. One of ai bet bred foals of 1S30 received j a very grave injery oa barbed wire and of j course Mr. Shrfiy wa vspry mack ooa ceroed about it. Is may be remembered by horsemen that Mr. Shelly is man that wants to know what kmki ot stun: hv horses made of before they te?e their feeeth in okl .-ure. So leok act for Shelly colts this falL Anions them are Bias Stem, yearfing, sired by Damo, by Jerome Eddy, SrlG.1; dam, Nancy B, by Richmont, by Almont. Mr. Shelly expects to win the yearling stakes at Hutchinson with this celt. Musquite, sired by Patcheon Wilkes, of the Jewettstockfarm; dam, Fanny Parvin, dam of P. H. Chapin. This is also a fine yearling. Bessy Allen, sired by Dresded, by Ad ministrator; dam, Fanny Parvin. She will bear watching in the 2-year-old trot at Hutchinson. P. H. Chnpin, the oldest campaigning horse on the farm, is out again this year. He was given a rest hist year and he comes out this year with renewed life for campaining. He is a 5-year-old stallion with a 2-year-old record of 2:56K and a 3-year-old record of 2:3SV. 2:30 will be an easy mark for him to make this year. Mr. Shelby has quite a number of oter horses on his farm. Dr. Phillips could not afford to leave Kiowa without paying a short visit to the Rosewood stock farm owned by Mr. W. E. Campbell. The Rosewood stock farm is the home of Campbell's Electioneer 2:22J, 2-year-old record of 2:34. We had but few minutes with Mr. Campbell but it did not take him long to mention the fact that he fully expected to lower this colt's record this year. Southern Kansas can well look with pride on the horse raising industry that is already established in her borders. Think of the coming races, at our fair when this great colt just mentioned, Joe Young 2:19, Ashland Wilkes 2:22, and Egmont Chief, 254 will meet. Go will have some mean ing then. Mr. Campbell's otjier horses (a large number) are all doing credit to themselves and to their owner. UNEXPECTEDLY DIES. Mr. C. T. Champion received a dispatch yesterday announcing the death of T. IL Robinson at Dallas, Texas, of typhoid malarial fever. Mr. Robinson was form erly a partner of Mr. Champion's in the stationery and book trade aud was well known in this city a3 an energetic young business man of much promise. He came to this city with Mr. Robinson, from Tennessee, three or four years ago, leaving for Dallas but a few mouths siuce. The news of his unexpected death will startle many and be received with general regret. He was 27 years of age, a native of Shef field, England, where his parents reside. He has also several brothers aud sisters who are at home. He came to New York bix years ago, where ho has relatives, to seek his fortunes in America, and after remaining there a short timo came to Knoxville, Tenn., where he also has re latives, and located in business. A little more than two years ago he and Mr. Champion located iu Wichita, when his energetic business ways brought him into notice. About six months since ho opened up a business in Dallas, Texas. Duriug the early part of this month he made a trip through southern Texas, where he contracted typhoid malaria and has since been under the physician's care. It was not generally supposed among his friends that his symptoms were alarming, and it was therefore with much surprise that Mr. Champion received a telegram yester day announcing his death at 5:30 that morning. It is supposed at present that his re mains will be shipped to Knoxville, Tenn., for interment, and arrangements are be ing made for that disposition of them, subject to the approval of his parents by cablegram. GARVr-HAMHLUS. Although not altogether unexpected the news iniinated in the caption was pro nounced sudden yesterday when it became generally known. The public like to know that the day is set a little while in advance but in this instance it was doomed to a surprise. This morning on the arrival of the Frisco train in St. Louis Mr. T. B. Garst and Miss LilliMt Hamblin will be united in marriage in that city at the resi dence of the bride's sister, Mrs. Dr. Charles Love, 4034 Grand avenue. Mr. Garst and Miss Hamblin accompanied by friends took their departure for St. Louis yesterday at 2 o'clock. A host of friends were at the depot to wish them all sorts of good luck and they were both loaded down with choice and useful presents. They start out with bright prospects and will only have to realize one-half of the good luck that is wished them to be extremely happy. This evening the happy couple expect to leave St. Ixiuis for a short visit with Miss Hamblin's folks in northern Missouri af ter which they will pay a short visit to Mr. Garst's family in Dayton, O and thence to New York. They will shortly sail from New York for an extended European trip. Germany and France will be visited and it is their present intention to make quite a sojourn in Italy where they will both hnve an ad mirable opportunity to pursue their musi cal studies. Mr. Garst is a member of the firm of Garst, Eraser Garst and is one of the most popular young men in the city, hav ing an extensive acquaintance at home nnd abroad. Miss Hamblm has been pop ular in soc;ety since her arrival in Wich ita several years ago and her sweet dispo sition has won her many friends who hate to lose her nnd yet rejoice in her happiness. Her musical attainments have made her the head of the musical world of this city and is recognized as an artist of no men ability by the best critics in the wool. THE EAGLE IN LONDON. Mr. Newell Knight who is abroad writes a letter to his brother II. F. of this city from London, in which he states that in a call on United States Minister Lincoln, he observed a large number of American newspapers regularly aud carefully pild up on one of the tables and tout innch to his pleasure nnd astonishment the thrfee topmost papers were all Eagles of late dates. This little interesting circumstance leads us to say that a very few f the people of Wichita, comparatively have any real notion of the KAGLETS circulation, much less of the character of that cir cvlation, which a writer in the Nw York Tribune lately charnctriHl v b-iir "all pare gold." What be mease was that many papers had but fictitious eirewbt Uods and many maintaiBed circulations by Mich extraneous methods fc rendered them titteriv worthiefr-f as representative papers to a community and to advertiser, i In the din and Wow of sheets, tnt are pmctkatHy unknown beyond tne corpora limits, people lo sight at the feet that the Eagle's cireolation is a highly repre-f-entative one "all pare gold." For in stance, a member of coajrrase from New E s gland, a few weeks since, said in the henrint of a number of prominent gwttJe rnen at a dmner party, that the Wichita EAfiLE wa a familiar name to a large ma jority of the banker and eapftalutts of Xew England whose unpr&eion and eon clnaMXM touching Wichita and. of Kaeftaa were from it- column.
