The Eagle modestly suggested yesterday morning that tro were homing that the members of the Republican State Central Committee wouldn't forget that Wichita is the best convention city in the state, in that having the requisite accessories of halls and hotels this city is outside of all the local pulls and sectional interests. Be fore the paper could reach Topeka the matter had been tiecided in favor of the Peerless Princess. The date is fixed for the 2Sth of Many. And so Wichita gets both of the great state conventions for the year." i The Democratic State Convention, -which meets In Wichita in May will have upward of nine hundred del egates. But the Republican convention will be the largest ever held in the state. On a basis of one delegate at large and one for every two hundred votes or major frac tion thereof cast for McKinley for President, there will ho one thousand and thirty-sis delegates. The Republican 'State Central Committee and the Re publican KanEas Day Club were present in full force at Topeka yesterday and last night, as were the candidates for state offices. Such, an array of candidates was never Been in the preliminary field before in the history of the state. Thirty-six is the present number announced as being desirous of a Republican nomination. Probably one-half of these will be out of the race by the'morning of the meeting day of the State Convention. We print the ful list, as follows: Governor James A. Troutman, Topeka; H. E. Rich ter, Council Grove; H. B. Miller, Osage City; W.-J. Bailey, Eaileyville; George E. Cole, Girard; A. E. Enright, Kan Eas City; John Seaton, Atchison; A. W. Smith, McPher Bcn; Henry J. Allen, Ottawa. Lieutenant Governor David J. Hanna, Hill City; W. A. Cormany, Port Scott; W. M. Glenn, Tribune. Secretary of State J. It. Burrow, Smith Center; Charlep- Harris, Emporia. State Treasurer T. T. Kelly, Paola; C. C. McCarty, Kortonville. State Auditor Seth G. Wells, Erie; W. G. Wilson, Belleville; Ed C. Culp, Salina; S. H. Kelsey, Atchison. Attorney General C. C. Coleman, Clay Center; J. S. West, Kansas City; H. J. Bone, Ashland; IL P. McCul luch, Anthony. State Superintendent of Public Instruction W. D. Ross, Oskaloosa; I. N. Dayhoff, Hutchinson; Frank Nel son, Lindsborg; G. W. Kendrick, Newton. Superintendent of Insurance C. H. Luling, Wichita; 6. J. Osborn, Salina; Ellsworth Ingalls, Atchison. Associate Justices R. B. Welch, Topeka; H. P. Mason, Garden City; J. C. Pollock, Winfield; A. H. Ellis, Beloit; A. L. Greene, Newton; A. W. Cunningham, Emporia, THE SENATE DISGRACING THE COUNTRY. The United States Senate periodically disgraces itself, and the entire country. It is probably only a contingent cf that body whose membership forget themselves,' forget the hour and the place, still in that forgetting millions of Iheir fellow citiens are made to blush and the standard of national self-respectability is lowered by just so much. The Associated Press Reports of the incident of the prize Cght ring does not jar or humiliate to the degree that is reports of the actions and language which often mark and mar the proceedings of that other arena, where dig nity and decorum are supposed to sway and wisdom to rulo. After duo allowances have been made for Teller's soreness as a deserter, and for Tillman's negro-phobia, there remains no satisfactory excuse for the language in dulged in by them in Tuesday's debate. The days of Bully Brooks should not be revived, or its outrageous s-enes re-enacted. The House is full of young men. hot of blood and ambitions to be heard and felt, and in so Urge a body something of a Kilkenny cat fight is to be expected in the heat of debate, in which personalities are burled back and forth. But on the part of the Senate Buch rows should be foreign to its proceedings, as an open squabble among the judges on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. e ADMIRAL KIMBERLEY DEAD. Admiral Kimberley, retired, long in command of the Pacific stattion, and who was in command of the United States fleet at Apia, Samoa, at the time of the great hurri cane in 1SS9, when so many vessels went down, and when he kept up the courage of the men of his own flagship while it was dragging its anchor and going to seemingly fcure destruction on the reef, by commanding his band to play, is dead. Ho died at his home in West Newton, 2tfass., day before yesterday. Admiral Kimberley was a typical American seaman after the pattern of John Paul Jones for courage. He was selected for service on the Schley court of inquiry, but was compelled to decline on account of ill health. Heart trouble is stated as the cause of his death. Ad miral Kimberley had a long and distinguished service in the United States navy. He was born in New York, and appointed from Illinois, entering the naval service in 1S46. Lewis AshSeld Kimberley was born in Troy, N. Y., on April 2, 1S80. He was appoinnted to the navy as acting midshipman from Illinois in 1S4G, and graduated from the "United States Naval Academy six years later. He was master and lieutenant In 1856. commander in 1S66, captain in 1S74, commodore in 1SS4, and rear admiral in 1SS7. Admiral Kimberley served on the frigate Potomac in lb61-62; then executive officer on the Hartford, Admiral FarragU's flagship, participating in actions of Port Hud eon, Grand Gulf, Warrngton, Mobile Bay, etc He was in tiie expedition to Koroa, and commanded the force which landed and captured the forts. Admiral Klmtioriay was commended by the Secretary of the Navy for his conduct of affairs while commander of the Pacific station. given charge of the educational exhibit at the fair. They also asked that an appropriation be made for this pur pose. The Horticultural Society of the state sent a del egation to confer ;with the committee, asking that the horticultural exhibit be jplaced in their charge. They were desirous also that an appropriation be made for this purpose. The committee took poth. matters under advisement and v.'ill announce its decision later. They have decided to secure a room in the state house which will be used as an office for the committee meetings and for whatever other business may arise making preparations for the Kansas exhibit at the St. Louis fair. DOWN THROUGH PECOS VALLEY. The Pecos vailey of New Mexico is said to be a won derful valley in many ways, especially for its fruitfulness under irrigation by artesian wells. A number of Wichita traveling men have been reaching that valley by way of the Santa F.e's Panhandle route. Now the Rock Island reaches it by its Liberal-El Paso extension. W. E. Dauchy, chief engineer for the Rock Island, who recently returned from a trip over the new lines between Liberal and El Paso, is responsible for the statement that by February 5 trains will be running through to the latter city. The work upon the long connecting link between the lines of the Rock Island in Kansas and the railroad systems of Texas has been in progress for more than a year, Several weeks ago the Rock Island announced the com pletion of its part of the work, the building of the new road as far as Santa Rosa, N. M. There has been some delay in the work of the El Paso and Northwestern in laying its part of the tracks, which extends north from El Paso. This is by far the -shorter section of tho new track.' The work of the Rock Island upon the Liberal ex tension, as it used to be called when the work commenced a year ago this month, has been very rapid. Improved track-laying machines have been placed in service upon it and a large number of laborers have been given em ployment on its construction. The companies building from Santa Rosa, N. M., are parts of the Rock Island system, although organized under individual charters. The track through from Liberal will be at the disposaTof the Rock Island for all sorts of traffic and will doubtless become an important thoroughfore for travel into the great-southwest. The Rock Island has already issued advertising matter telling of the natural advantages of the Pecos valley in New Mexico. Santa Rosa, the present stopping place of the Rock Island, is located in this valley A COUNTY SYSTEM OF FREE MAILS. Free rural mail delivery grows more popular apace. In growing more popular it will approximate more nearly self-paying. The policy is being modified to the extent that it is to be mado a county system, to the end that all the inhabitants of a county shall be put in daily touch with their county seat or principle market center so far as may be. A special agent with one or two as sistants lays a county out into a network of rural routes. Every farm house is supplied with mail and all a farmer has to do is to put a mail box in front of his house. Uncle Sam's carrier does the rest There are but twelve coun ties in the United States where the county system is in operaton. But two counties In Kansas have secured the county delivery. In McPherson county there are twenty-three carriers. They cover 628 miles and supply 11,500 people with mail. The average daily trip of one carrier is twenty-eight miles. There are usually two or more carriers to each route. Colonel H. J. Ormsby, superintendent of rural free delivery, has been in Sumner county making arrangements to put county delivery in operation there. Sumner is one of the big counties in the state and it will take fifty carriers to deliver the maiL They will be under the civil service, and the average pay will be 600 a year. It will take six weeks to complete the service. There are thirty-three towns in the county and it the routes among them. The postoffic.es .not on a railroad and which are supplied by star routes will be discon tinued. "Eliza," said Mr. Spares on the night of the day that they- moved into their new flat, "this apartment life is worse than one of' Dante's circles. '111 make just one more move before I die and that will be Into a house in'a suburb'." Just then the front door bell rang. Henry Sparks stumbled over two trunks; Ms daughter's bicycle, barked his shin, braised his toes and finally reached the door. There in the hall stood, a young woman, comely and strong looking. "Is this the place you want a girl?" asked the young woman. A auddea joy leaped Into Henry SparXs heart. "Yes," he said, "come in. We've just moved; we're all upside down here. Look out fur the boxes." I Then Mr. Sparks led the way into the dininsroom and turned the caller over to his wife. "Yes, we want a girl," said Mrs. Sparks; "we've just moved in, and may be you wont want to stay now;you see how things are and what cleaning Is to be done." "I'm not afraid to work," said the girl. At this answer Henry Sparks, who stood In the corner, almost fainted: The girl produced a letter from a Lutheran, clergyman in a. little country village. It happened that Henry Sparks knew the man. The girl was taken on the spot as she declared she was ready to go. to work then and there and would have her things sent right over from her cpusin's. During the whole conversation Mrs. Sparks face had worn a rather puzzled, expression. When the girl had. volun teered to stay Mrs. Sparks said: "Hew did you happen to know we wanted a girl?" "I saw your advertisement." was the answer. "Here it is." and th girl pull ed out a copy of the morning paper. Mrs. Sparks took it. "Maroy," she. ex claimed, "that's the advertisement of Mrs. Smithkins, who lives, in the flat underneath this, iou came to the wrong apartment." "Well, I like the looks or this place, anyway, and I'll stay." "Henry," said Mrs. Sparks, "won't it be a case of false pretenses if we keep her?" "Not by a jugfull. ru send Mrs. J T bmithkins the price of her advertise- a ment in an anonymous letter. "To have and to hold' is a good uiqttQ In "a case S3 like this." A mat gin tosa. wno stumDieu into tne a THIRTY PIGS IN THIRTY DAYS. A club has been formed in Chicago which has for its purpose the reduction of some of the surplus pork in the Windy City. The club is known as the "Pig Club," and to be eligible for membership it is necessary to have an avowed fondness for pork. The president of tho club is Ferdinand Dunnebecke, president of the Melrose Park Savings Bank, who states that meetings will be held each week, when pork, and no other kind of meat, will be served. "Between times, too," declares the president, "we will eat no other meat than pork." The great fault with an organization liko this is founded upon the frailty of human nature,- which is prone to become tired of any thing which it has too much of. Unless new members can constantly be secured, it is to be feared that the club will have but a short existence. THE AVERAGE AMERICAN AS A SAVAGE. Some Englishmen do not seem to know any more about Canada than they do about the United States, and their ignorance of the manners, customs and geographical divisions of America occasionally reaches the ridiculous. At the time of the Queen's Jubilee in London, a lady of rank gave a garden party and Invited to it a number of Canadians visiting in the metropolis. She wrote them a gracious, informal note, which closed by requesting them to please come in their native dress. This must have rather spoiled the pleasure the strangers would otherwise have felt-at tho courtesy of the aristocrat for the thought must have occurred to them that she wished to have a few "aborigines" to display at her function to add to tho gayety of the occasion EXCITEMENT IN FLUNKEYDOM. Fashionable eircles in England wero greatly excited by the fact that King Edward recently wore a frock coat will deep velvet cuff3 turned up. The members of the fashionable set promptly hastened to their tailors and or dered coats of tho same character, arguing that the King was tho arbiter of fashion and had decided upon a new style of coat. Now that the coats are ordered, they have discovered to their chagrin and sorrow that the King was wearing an overcoat of medium weight and that they jumped to conclusions too soon. If the incident demon strates to Englishmen of fashion the folly of imitating every whim of the King in such matters, it will not have been in vain. FOR NELLIE'S SMILE. THE SPARKS' From the famous publishing house of Fizz, Boom, Ah Co we have re ceived, advance sheeta of the- great his torical ne-vjel; 'For, One" Sw:et Smile From Xcll," by Elsie Barker Smiggs.- a society belle of East Saginaw. Nell Gwynne has been told by an old gypsy that she will smile upon a certain great man, and that from that day she will live In queenly luxury and be the happiest lady in the world. Xell thinks the matter over and decides that she owes it to her self to have as many great men as pos sible around her on the day set apart for the fateful smile- She therefore sends word to Louis XTV. of France, Cardinal Richelieu, Henry of Navarre, Cesare Borgia, the Duke of Alva Peter the Great and Oliver Cromwell to assemble at a. certain place on the coast of Bo hemia and there compete for her smile. She goes to Charles II. and tells him personally of the matter, making him promise to accompany her to the place agreed upon and contend against the oth ers for her favor. Now we proceed to the chapter in which the great contest takes place: "It was drizzling rain and a grayish vapor hung over the world, as If myriads of spiders- had been spinning webs that enveloped everything. The Duke of Alva was leaning against an abandoned pigsty, carelessly rolling a. cigarette, while Ce sare Borgia paced nervously up and down the sandy shore of the bay. "Why so restless, cousin?' said the duke, striking a match upon his beauti fully wrought sword hilt and turning his bade to the wind in order to shield the little flame he held up to the cigarette. 'Don't bother me. I'm thinking,' Ce sare replied, and resumed his nervous pace. "A moment later Peter tho Great and Louis XIV. rode down the winding road from the forest at the left, their bedrag gled plumes drooping dismally as they came. 'My kingdom against your own.' cried Louis, 'that I win the lady's smile this day.' 'I'm no gambler,' Peter answered, 'but I'll tell thse, brother, what 111 do. If I don't win the lady's smile I'll let thee take my boots to put upon thy valet." 'Agreed,' cried Louis, 'and if I fail ta win this English rosebud's favor I'll give to thee the jeweled collar that I wear to put upon the neck of thy boss cook." "Richelieu and Hen-y of Navarre ar rived in a buckboard as Louis and Peter Ttere dismounting and eGorgla,coming up from the shore, proposed that while wait ing for the English party they indulge in a game of poker. He had slipped a few aces up bis sleeves while the others were not looking. 'Agreed!' cried Louis. 'Get out the chips. "The duke had opened his satchel and was searching for the jeweled b.ox in which he carried his poker outfit when Peter pointed toward a gayly decorated yacht that was steaming up to the dock, and said: "That's them now.' "And.it was as ho had guessed. Charles I ran lightly down the gang plank as soon t as the vessel had been tied up, and hav- J ing spread his scarlet overcoat upon the landing, called: 'Come, Nellie, the boys are waiting.' "Then stepped forth fair Nell Gwynne, and as the great men on the shore be held her a chorus of 'Ah's!' ascended from them. j 'Hold! cried Nell. 'I forbid any quar- rellng here today. Gentlemen, you have come to win my smile. The contest must not be anything but friendly. If you kill one another with swords you've got to do it friendly or if it's a foot race or a fist fight it's got to be done j friendly.' i "Louis bowed low, and the others fol- t lowed his example, after which the con- tests began. Borgia and Henry of Na varre opened with a catch-as-catch-cah wrestling match, which continued for about ten minutes with no apparent ad vantage on either side. Then Cesare, getting one of Henry's fingers In his mouth, bit It off, and was ruled out of the match for conduct unbecoming a t sportsman. "The next round was between Alva and Peter, who were to climb two greased poles. It became apparent at once that the Spaniard was overmatched. Peter's experience as a shipbuilder here served him In good steady anil at the end of twenty minutes he was at least three feet higher than his competitor, who, seeing that his, case was hopeless, gave up. i 'Good for yoUj Pete, cried Nell, clap-, j ping her lianas as the czar slid down. But alas? Peter's triump was of shore duration. As he struck the ground his sword again became unmanageable and In some way caught his coat, ripping it up the back and jabbing him so badly under the left arm that he had to re tire. Louis and Charles then took off their coats and squared away. Lou feinted and Charles side-stepped, landing .ightly on the neck a moment later. Lou then led I for the jaw, but was neatly stopped Charles getting back with a heavy left j counter on the nose. Lou war puffing, but game, and tried to kick Charles on the shins He fell short, and the bell rang, with both men sparring for wind. In the second round Charles started to force the fighting and soon had his man on queer street. Lou's wind was bad, and after receiving a right jab in the throat he exhibited signs of grogglness. Rallying a moment later, however, he made a swing for the jaw, but was cross countered and went down In a heap when Charles landed on the left ear. "As the English king straightened up Nell ran forward, kissed his skinned knuckles, and. smiling merrily, said: 'This day you have won my favor In fair fight. Come, let's go home and be happy." "As their yacht swung away from the dock she stood on deck laughing merrlly and thinking that endless joy was to bo her lot. "Ah, poor girl, she forgot In the ex citement that Cromwel had put In an appearance." S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Record-Herald. Hogg Lacks No Interest. (From tho Denver Republican.) Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas, says that his Interest in the Democratic party is unabated. Inasmuch as Mr. Hogg has disposed of $S,C0,O'"1O,C00 worth of oil hold ings to an octupus, it will be interest ing to observe if the partys interest in him continues unababted.

She cooked things to a turn; j she was willing; she didn't have a cross word in her vocabulary: she didn't care to go to balls an Saturday night, and she was plump and good-looking. The j Sparks' family life was ideal. I S3 One morning as Mr. Sparks was leav- Ing- the building to go to the Office he 53 met the janitor, who was coming up from A the basement leading a child with each m hand. Mr. Sparks had barely noticed the janitor before. This morning something in the man's bearing struck him and turning, he said: "Willlani, you've been in the service." "Yes, sir,' said William. "I put in five years in the Fourth cavalry." "I can tell a regular the minute I clap eyes on him," said Mr. Sparks. "I put In a good many years myself. You have two fine children here, "William." "Yes," said William, assentlngly, and then Mr. Sparks said "Good-by." That, night when Mr. Sparks reached homo his wife said; "The janitor came up today and washed the windows. I didn't think it was part of his work, but he said it was all right and insisted. He told me that he esed to be in the regular army and that he knew you had been in the service, too." "That's it, Eliza," said Henrjv "an old soldier likes to do things for another pld soldier. He washed our windows because we had both done hard duty on the plaln3. Nothing like it. He must bo a good, steady fellow, for he has a wife and two children. They have a ilat in the basemont." Mr. Sparks met William quite fre quently after this. William always sa luted. If he happened to be standing still as Mr. Sparks passed he would come to "attention," clicking his heels to gether the while and saluting like tho old campaigner ha waa. Almost every night when he would reach home Mrs. Sparks would tell Henry of somo new aet of attention on the part of the jani tor. "He came up and went all over the plumbing today." she said one night. "He said he wanted to make sure there wasn't any sewer gas in the place. I suppose he fears for the health of his wifo and children. He spent an awful long while in the kitchen examining the pipes there. He said they would need at tention for another day or two. I was afraid he would interfore with Rosa's work, but she said he didn't. "There, it's just as I told you, Eliza." said Mr. Sparks; "this janitor doesn't want to see the family of an old soldier suffer. I'll give him a box of cigars to night. Eliza, this is the finest kind of life. Never talk to me again about tak ing a suburban house. Here the beet girl that over worked out stumbles in on us by accident, and we get a janitor who serves us as though we were mo guls. We'll just drift along In this flat in this Elysian atmosphere until either we, Rosa or William die. It's great." Things went on this way for two months. Henry Sparks told tfve real es tate agents to quit looking up a country home for him. "You can't beat the com bination I've got right here in tho haart of Chicago," he said. He told his wifo one day that he must Ho told his wife one day that he must give William another box of cigars, be cause, although he was an eld soldier, N did not like the ids of having the man do so much work for simply th sake of sentiment. "I gave each of his chiklren a. quarter thia morning and I gav his wife a dollar the other day, but that's not enough to do for a man who spends most of his time making your life happy in a flat." That niidit Mr. Sparks went down town to dy auma work. H eida't get back till 1 o clock. He slipped oil bin shoes at the door m as not to awafceR his wife. He passed into the liaH apd. feeling hungry, he went back through the diningroom with a mind and appetite bent on exploring the kitchen pantry. The door leading into the kitelMm was shut. In his stocking feet Mr. Spark made no noise. He opened the doer quickly. The kitcha gas was burning. From the far end at the room came a cUoking noise. William, the Janitor. m standing at aUe&Uoa, with hi& beets brought sHarpry together. As toe roan lumped to the poaKSon of a sofctter Mr. Sparks saw that one of ht arms had just dropped front its pestt!R ef em brace about the waJct of Rosa, tho maid. Mr. Sparlcs was horrified.

I was under the physicians care for over a year without any relief, when my attention was called to Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-etable Compound by several of our Mormon women "rrlio Iiad been cured through its use. I began its systematic use and im proved gradually in health, and after the use of six bottles my health waq completely restored, and for over two years I have had neither ache or pain. You have a truly wonderful remedy for women. Very sincerely yours, Mbs. Hct-da. Jakemjlx, Salt LakeCity, Utah." $5000 forfeit If above testimonial is not genuine.

Third: Two hundred and fifty thous and dollars worth of poultry and egg: are put and shipped from a Kansas town j annually in which Wichita has no profit? j The remedy is in Wichita. Fourth: Sedgwick county has shipped to cold storage outside of the state of Kansas almost its entire apple crop. Kansas has shipped apples worth mil lions to the east now in cold storage. The remedy is in Wichita. Fifth: Cheese Is supposed to be made out of milk. The United States makes about three hundred million pounds, one-half made in New York. The most of the balance is made in Ohio, Vermont, Massachusetts, Iowa and California. California makes five million pounds.' Is there any reason why Kansas cannot make as much? Is there any reason v.-hv Sedgwick, county cannot make a marketable cheese? In a table of New York chese makers the smallest factory has 100 cows, the largest 2,000 and the average is 348 cows. Is tu re a remedy for this in Sedgwick county? Sedgwick county does not possess coal, stone, lumber or brick, but possesses the products of soil that buy all these things. The sensible thing to do is to develop tho resources that come out of our soil, so that our local exports will exceed our imports. CONCLUSION. This article Is not written to dictate 1 ftf Wichita or the Chamber of Commerce what should be done, but simply, to call attention to our present advantage and the nsity of providing for the future to the nd that the future may be so bu rn ssed. and ribbed that future squalls will aff' ft us only temporarily and not shook or shake us to the foundations as from lvvf to 1S97. If peace is the time to jirepar.- for war. prosperity is the sea son to iin-pire for adversity. The i.l a that location, without labor, ran r ish us to the front, is contrary to all business rules. There are towns as w I! s it! n who sfm to drift along TRithM:. effort, but this is opposed to gen o:il expfrienee. To my mind the true maxim for man or town is "wear out, not rust out." The p.ist in Wichita has erected its mile Ftons. The future year by j'ear should ha o a mile stone. Thero are towns of which one can say, they v.v fully completed, whose aim and hope ar.1 only existence. If Wichita fails to go forward, fails to add business, t.ixah'" w. alth and population; fails to th.- commercial head of the territory loond aud about, west and south of it, such filluro will be charged to the men v.-ho i'i,. j(1 charge of its general affairs.

ERECT $10,000 BUILDING Local Capitalists Interested in New Company. The Wichita Paint and Color company is the name of a new corporation which has already made application for a char ter and which will succeed the Oilex Paint company of this city in the manu facture of all kinds of paint, and in ad dition to operating a factory in this city, will invest 520,000 In painters' sundries, which will be sold at wholesale. Tho total investment of the company in the combined manufacturing and wholesale business will amount to 540,000. Not only is the company planning to increase the capacity of the paint fac tory from 500 gallons a day to 1,000, but it will also buy a three-story buildipg in which to carry on its business or erect a similar building of its own. If the company decides to build, the structure which it will erect will be three stories high, with a basement, and its dimensions will be 50 by 150 feet. Such a building would cost about $10,000. The company will also invest ?5,000 in machinery to be used in the manufacture of all kinds of lead and zinc paints, of all colors. The stock, which the company will sell at wholesale, will include, among other things, brushes and varnishes "Within thi will be doing a wholesale business and when the factory is enlarged it will em ploy fifteen men. The company Is composed of G. W. Mer edith, president; W. M. Wilson, vice pres. ident; J. A. Huston of Winfield, secre-tary-teasurer; K. Meredith and F. H. Wilson. Speaking of the new company yesterday Mr. Meredith, the president, said: "We expect to do a Jobbing business all over Kansas. Indian Territory, Texas, I Oklahoma and also in Colorado. Ours Is the only paint factory between Kansas City and Denver and we consider that Wichita affords us a good field."

John Blake was arrested yesterday by the police on tho charge of stealing a watch from Mrs. Laura Ttterington on Tremont avenue. One day last month Mr. Blake was at the Tetterington home and in the evening he and that lady went to the theater together. As they were about to go up town she laid her watch down on a table and the man Is alleged to have picked It up and said he was going to wear it and he did for sev eral days. A few days later he went to work on the Missouri Pacific railroad at Greenwich and about a week after the watch was found in a pawn shop. A state warrant was sworn out for Blake's ar rest as soon as he was captured by the police and last night he was taken to the county jail by Under-Shoriff Dick Dodds. A reporter for the Eagle talked with the man in the jail last night. John Blake said: "I had the watch and pawned It. I will not deny that, but I did not do it with the intention of stealing tho watch. I wore it for three or four days and then as I was a little short of cash pawned It for two dollars and then went to work on the railroad. I oxpected to pay it back 'in a few days. Then things did not pan 1 out to suit me, so I sent Mrs. Tettering- ton- the pawn ticket. I did not pawn the chain, so I sent this to her at the same time." N. Jackson, Danville, 111., writes: "My daughter had a severe attack of la grippe and a terrible cough settled on her lungs. We tried a great many remedies with out giving relief. She tried FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR which cured her. Sho has never been troubled with a cough since." G. Gehring. 400 E. Douglas; Geo. Van Werden, S23 N. Main; Wichita Drug Co., 11C E. Douglas.

J May 20 and 21 are the dates of the meet ing of the grand lodge of Kansas of the Knights of Pythias in this city and Tues day night a committee from the Uniform 1 rank and each of the two lodges was J appointed to draft a plan of entertain ment for the number of Knights who will be" here on those dates. This committee is composed of Frank Bellew, Earl Blake, and W. C. Beck of the Uniform rank; D. E. Barnes, A. E. Kinnaird and N. L. Hollowell of Warwick lodge, and Will A5'ers, George Alexander and C. R. Root of Wichita lodge. These men will meet at an early date to make their plans and will then report to their respective lodges after which the working committees will be appointed. The grand lodge of the state has not met in this city since 1S97. Last year they met in Kansas City, Kan. It Is expected that fully 600 representatives of the order will "'be in the city, and the number will be welled to fully l.CX) by the other members of the order who will come to visit the grand lodge meetings. The entire uniform rank of the state will be on hand to take part in the com petitive drills which are to bo held here during the session. It is not known the exact amount of prizes to be offered for the best team work, but a member of the order stated yesterday that fully $500 would be hung up a3 prizes, and this would make it well worth the time and trouble of any. team in the state to come here and try for some of the prizes. On the afternoon of the last day of the meeting there will be a big parade of the delegates andj- other members of the order. Some of tho lodges have-already signified their 'intention of coming to Wichita in a body and bringing with them a band. It was stated yesterday that three bands from out of the city were almost sure to be here during the meeting. Probably one of the most Important items that interest Wichita members of the order Is the boom of J. F. Kirker of this city for grand chancellor. Several of the members of the local lodges are working hard to get the position for Mr. Kirker. He has shown by his work in this city and elsewhere that he is one of the most capable men in the order at the present time and his friends think that the office of grand chancellor is no more than he deserves. W. J. Duval of Hutchinson Is the present grand chancel lor. The local lodges expect to be able to occupy their new hall in the Little-Reed building by April 1. The committee on fllT-nicVllnrr tVn V.aM m. n f.f PPiVf flIrnitrA it nEtn, ing the sessions of the grand lodge the hall will be given to the Rathbone Sis ters and they will hold a reception there during the day. The lodges of this city have leased all of the third floor of the building for a term of years and will make it one of the finest lodge rooms in the west. The Democratic state convention meets in this city on May 20. The constitution of the Knights of Pythias reads that the grand lodgo must hold Its session on the': tii.-wt Tiioo.u,. j -r.. -i .i.i,. the two mentis nn t,n letter was written to the president of the Chamber of rommorr vt.ni v v. ing ir some arrangement could not be made so the political convention could be made earlier or later than the crand i lodge mating. It was pointed out that 11 wus wlBlw out "I"1" na."WS enteruuneu the grand IOdSTe in a. ricrhf rnval af-ula o nrl f ll has also taken care of the political con- i ventjons in tho best of shape, and this was made a matter of considerable tin- i portance in Uie letter, as it was thought tliat the oofoia Tt,i.i t- cuinnioaate tne crowus of people who would be here during the two meetings, and tliat Wichita could entertain both conventions in better style and more truly show her hospitality if they did not come on the same dates. FOR PNEUMOnTa. Dr. C. J. Bishop. Agnew, Mica., says: "I have used FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR in three very severe cases of pneu monia with good results in every case." Beware of substitutes. G. Gehring.

FROZEN DEAD BOY WAS SON OF A WICH ITA WOMAN. Faithful Doge Refused to Leave His Body. The boy found frozen to death on the banks of Snake creek In Cowley county, mention of which was made in yester day's Eagle, has been identified as the son of Mrs. Mary Grounds, a blind wo man, who lives at S17 North Main street in this city. As nearly as can he learned the Inci dents surrounding his death are as fol lows: The boy lived In Cedarvnle with his half-brother, Albert Grounds, and at tended school. Last Thursday his brother. Robert Grounds, of Tisdalo, wrote for him to come over and live with him this winter. Arrangements were made for him to go, and on Saturday he set out afoot for TIsdale, accompanied by two dogs, a shepherd and a bull-dog. The route he took has not been learned, but at any rate nothing was seen or heard of him until Mr. Sweet of TIsdale saw two dogs on the banks of Snake creek that seemed to be truarding something. He attempted to investigate the cause, but the dogs would not let him get very close, but nls curiosity got me Detter oi mm i and he finally got near enough to see i .the body of a boy lying face downward in the snow. Hq gave the alarm and notified the Winfield authorities. Over 200 persons visited tho scene before the undertaWfcr arrived, but none could iden- tify him. The body was lying a short distance from the road within a short distance of two houses. The conclusion arrived at by thosn who examined the grounds and surrounding territory was that the bov arrived in the vicinity on Saturday evening about the time the wind whip ped around to the north and was blow ing a terrific gale. That he was cold, hungry and tired, and was seeking a place to stop for the night, and seeing a ilght at Mr. Barthlow's bouse on the hill, took the short cut through the hol low to it. He then became tired and sat down on the ground to rest. The pleasant sleep that accompanies death when one is freezing came over him, and he laid down to take a nap before going his way. The "light snotv already falling made a pleasant bed and the fierce wind whistling through the barren branches made music that put the boy to sleep, from which there was no awak ening. At his side sat tho two faith ful dogs, who stayed by his stole con tinually until the body was discovered. The report was circulated on the streets of Winfield yesterday that tho boy had stoped at a farm house In that vicinity Saturday night and asked for lodging. r'm iat wnen tne iarmor went out to answer the summons nc one was annar- eat. The author of this rumor has not l" loted. hen body was found and over 2M people had been unable to WenUfy it. an ingenious way of ascertaining the boy's home was resorted to. A note was tied to the collar of each dog In the hope that they would carry it home. The dog did not go. nor was it afterwards necessary r .tbtLl' bU f0?? h9tt the C T Cl g,ht to ,inflcli by three al. RI!
