Dick Richardson had quite an interesting time breaking a colt last night. The Dewey-Funston Whist club meets tonight at Wayland Wood's on East Ninth. -The river is falling today, and the fishermen are getting ready to line up on the banks. It is said that a 'society young, man has received a generous complement of wedding invitation samples. The Salvation Army has changed its-location and is nown in the south part of town next to the Kentucky hotel.

F. Sadil. secretary. There was a social given at the A. M.

E. church last night at which the colored people of the city attended in large numbers. An altercation started on the sidewalk between some of the young men and one of them was badly cut up. The meetings at the Christian church, conducted by evangelist C. M.

Wickham, are increasing in interest and, in attendance. The subject for discussion tonight is "The Origin of the Churches and Why They Exist." Come once and you will come again. You should not miss a single sermon. Services begin promptly at 8 o'clock. There came very near being a serious conflagration on North Church last night.

The oil lamp in front of the Belknap boarding house exploded at about 1 o'clock and things were blaz ing almost instantly. Mrs. Herpich, who lives near, was awakened Hf the explosion, and when she saw the blaze she aroused people and it was quickly extinguished. There was a meeting of the gun club last night and they made arrangements for bying new traps and will add other improvements. They will have their shoots at the fair grounds as heretofore.

Eureka Springs, Apiil 27, 1899. I told you in my last letter that I would have something to say about the springs in this. There are said to be about forty springs within the city limits. The best known are the Basin, the Magnetic, the Harding, the Crescent, the Sweet, the Dairy, the Little Eureka the Mystic and the Grotto. All these springs afford an unlimited quantity of pure soft water, clear as crystal, and said to be helpful in' curing all the ills that flesh is heir to; consumption being the only disease that these waters cannot help.

The history of these springs runs back to the time when Arkansas was a part of the dominions of Spain. In support of this in 1880 some tools of antique pattern were found in a cave nearby, supposed to belong to the early Spanish adventurers. From a description of Eureka Springs and its surroundings I take these paragraphs: "Hon. J. M.

Richardson of Carthage, relates a conversation with 'White chief of theOsages, in 1817, about a wonderful 'Medicine truce to find out how much he has the worst of it. Having secured a divorce form her husband, Mrs. Meadows of Kansas City, is now a grass widow. The Twentieth Kansas will start for home in the middle of June. This means two Fourths of July in Kansas this year.

Lawrence is right in it with the Twentieth Kansas. Major Metcalf of Lawrence will succeed Gen. Funston as commander of that regiment. There is no place on this chubby-cheeked world where the wind absolutely loses all control of itself and runs off as it does in Kansas. Ex.

People speak of them as "Missouri cyclones" now. A few years ago they were called Kansas cyclones, but the Kansas variety is not so dangerous as that of Missouri. New York papers are calling attention to the fact that a periodical is edited and published by the convicts at Sing Sing, doubtless under the impression that the idea is new. Kansas convicts did that long ago. Coffey villa is on the verge of a liquor war.

The "dry" element is trying to secure the appointment of an assistant attorney general to enforee the law, while the "wet" element is trying to prevent the appointment. The Philippine question will be settled many times in Kansas in the next few weeks by high school and college graduates. A Kansas high school orator is no more afarid of the Phillip-pine question than the Twentieth Kansas is of the Fihpnos themselves. Now that the pope has given to the world his idea of "Americanism," as applied to religon.we trust that the distinguished Pennsylvania "statesman," Matt Quay, will give to the public an expression as to how "Americanism" in politics kept him out of the pen, A Chanute young man who was arraigned in court on the charge felony startled the court by declaring that if he was given two years in the penitentiary he would stand trial. The county attorney had recommended that his sentence be one year.

The young man's argument was that he bad been to the pen before; that it was good enough for anybody; that the last time he was released from that institution he had $10 in money and that was more than he has had since. A most marvelous thing happened in the Gazette office today. A man came in to thank the office for what it did not print. The man has km who are pretty bad. The Gazette printed the facts, but omitted certain harrowing details.

For this the man came in with his gratitude. Every day some one does a mean thing which would make an item. You can bet your bottom dollar the story comes to the Gazette office. A newspaper is where everyone's misdeeds hasten in a few hours. But the man never thinks to show his gratitude for the good will of the paper.

He flatters himself that no one knows how mean he is. The Gazette bows reverently to the decent man who worked the surprising miracle of gratitude this morning. Emporia Gazette.

Fair tonight and Friday. Maximum 75 Minimum 38 M. B. Light, Observer. The Idaho miners are starting a little home-made war among themselves and troops are being hurried to the scene.

The climate of Southern Kansas this spring is an interesting subject to study. It goes from hell to Klondike in twenty-four hours. Some way or other the erroneous report got out that Gen. Funston was redheaded. lie is not.

It is just the way he goes about things. Sampson, the strong man we read about, says an exchange, was the first man to advertise. lie took two columns to demonstrate his strength when seven hundred people tumbled to his schame and he brought the house down. Statements of a very emphatic truth from the Topeka Capital: "There is one thing that makes the editor of a local paper tired; ob, so tired! That is to be presented with a bill for merchandise made out on an axle grease or baking powder bill head after he has written columns of matter advising the residents of the town and vicinity to Btand by the home merchant. It is stated that Senators Quay and flatt have entered into an agreement to make Sherman, of New York, speaeer of the house.

This should not alarm western republicans. It will be remembered that a few years ago these same two senators were in an agreement to keep a western man from being nominated for the presidency, but he was nominated almost by acclamation. Some of the clergymen of Toleka are advocating municipal ownership of saloons, and Mayor Jones is quoted as saying that he inclines to a similar policy. He says: "It is ahead of the prohibition or any similar plan, so far as I have been able to form an opinion. I have not had the time to think it over that I would like.

It Beems to me that the root of the evil is the profit. No man would start a saloon if it were not for the profit attached." A merchant who lives in a Missouri town the other day received a letter from a woman who had spent her school days in his town but had afterwards moved to a distant state. In the letter she makes the confession that yeais ego, while in his store to buy an article, she helped herself to some candy; that she had lately experienced religion and the old crime came back to memory, and she decided to 'f ess and ask forgiveness of the man whom she had robbed. As no check accompanied the letter, the recipient don't take much stock in her religion, he "being from Missouri" anyway, and has decided to let the lady seek pardon from a higher power. Collin Ball, a former Chautauqua boy, is now distinguishing himself in the Philippines Collin has worked up to the rank of lieutenant and was recently chosen as one out of five of the whole Kansas CDmpany to accompany Gen.

Fred Funston in crossing the Bagbag, a river about 100 yards wide. This bad to be done in the face of the continuous firing of the enemy and they had to swim part of the way across the river. From the time Collin Ball umpired a game of ball in Cedar Yale several years ago, we felt that he was made of the hot stuff and only needed an opportunity to demonstrate to the public that he was a natural born fighter and that coward was unknown in hb lexicon.

DRUMMER IS BADLY A Cyrano De Bergerao Nose Gets a Stan Into Trouble. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat: "Saw a drummer get badly sold at a little place between Chattanooga and Nashville the other day," said a local traveling man.1 "He had stopped over to sell socia bard-ware and a merchant warned fcim to look out for a village wag who. would drop-around at the hotel that eveaing with a false nose.

'It's one of those Cyrano De Bergerac affairs, made of said his informant, 'and this big Jubber thinks it's funny to scare Btrangers with the thing. If you show the least surprise they'll make you set 'em up for the 'I'll fix the said the drummer, and thanked him for the tip. That evening he was sitting inthe little hotel office, when sure enough in walked a fellow with a proboscis as "big as an. incandescent lamp and as red as a ripe tomato. 'Hello, Cyr said Uie drummer.

'What d'y sir! jays the man attached to the nose. "Give me that for a says tie drummer, and grabbed hold of it to pull it off. Good heavens! You ought to have hewd the row! I was writing a letter in the back room and I thought somebody had set oft a dynamito bomb. (1 By the time I got out Cyrano and the drummer had Just knocked over, the stove and were mixing up In the woodbox. When they pried them apart they looked like they'd been run through a cane-mill, but the nose was still hv position.

It was the real stuff, and its proprietor was a business competitor of the that gave the tip, Low down trick, wasn't It? I went away tha drummer was Just beginning to sea out of Ws right eye." phone number 83. Santa Fe Excursion Rates.

Horseshoers, Blacksmiihs, and Wagonmakers. 709 and 711 North Main Street, spring' which he located in this vicin ity and described as flowing into a basin shaped cavity in the rock which 'Black Dog's' father had scoured, out seventy years before." Colonel Richardson says that when he visited these springs in 1880 and saw the ba sin which then existed, but is now covered by the grade in front of the spring, everthing so completely coincided with "White Hair's" description as to leave no doubt in his mind of its identity.

We have visited most of these springs, nearly all of which have been improved by erectiDg canopies over the springs, with seats for visitors to rest in and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery which abounds on all sides, even where the springs are situated in the heart of the city. The Grotto spring is especially beautiful, being situated far back under cliffs of rocks of curious formation, with openings on either side of the spring that look like the entrance to vast caves. Being thus endowed by nature, art has done its part by building an atch of masonry over the entrance and fine stone steps to descend into the cave in which the spring is situated, and over the arch is placed a large block of red granite with the name "Grotto Spring" and the motto "Esto Perpetua." But I will leave to another letter a further description of the wonderful things to be seen here. It does not seem to be any trouble for it to rain here. It commenced last night and has rained all day lowly and steadily, and that is the fourth rain we have had in nine days we have been here.

We are wondering how it is in Kansas. Fruit trees are in full bloom and nature is putting on her beautiful summer robe of green. Mrs. F. E.
