James W. Henry and Mr. Harris, in com
pany with somo half dozen other gentle

Several of them went to Harper, Saratoga

Mr. C. 1. King, the popular druggist, ol
Leon, Canas, spent Monday in tbis city

Laolk's bandied by Mr. King's news de
partment which be runs in connection
with bis drug store.
The ice cream and strawberry festival
given last evening In Itusscll hall, by the
colored people, wai ery numerously at
tended and greatly enjoyed by all present.
This e enlng was Just warm enough to give
a pleasant relish to the cream, and never
were more tempting straw berries seen than
those provided for this occasion. These, in
conjunction with the delicious cake and
cool lemonade attracted the attention of
all until a late hour, when the merry-maker
departed to their homes.
"JANE EYRE."
A cry laige and refined audience greet
ed Charlotte Thompson at the opera liou.,0
last evening, and we doubt if there was
one present at Uie conclusion of the last
act who regretted it. Miss Thompson has
certainly well merited the distinction of
being one of America's most talantcd
actresses, and she is ably supported by a
line a company as there is on the road. The
title role of tliirf popular drama, "Jane
Kjrc," was assumed in a most intelligent
and highly satisfactory manner by Miss
Thompson, who at once made friends with
the audience, and evoked the heartiest ap
plause. The balance of tbe cast come in
for a generous share ol approbation. The
company will this evenin? play "Camille,"
:i cry pleasing drama, when we expect to
sec the house packed. Wcdoubtll there
lias ccr been a company iu Wichita who
made so favorable an impression on their
lirst appearance.
IN LUCK.
A DESERTED WIFE.
Mrs. Wm.. Blatner Deserted by Her Husband and
Left in Destitute Circumstances.
Last Monday there ariived In this city
from licntou ajoung man, bis wife and in
fant child, who, on leaving the car at the
Fort Scott depot, sought a boarding place
which they finally found and secured at
the Valley House, on Douglas avenue.
Soon after getting into quarters the bus
band told his wife that he was going out in
town to look for work, and would also go
to the depot and sec after their baggage.
She bade him good-bjc aud thought no
more of the circunintancc until supper time
arrived, aud the evening hours passed iar
into the night, and yet her hus
band did not return. In the morn
ing her anxiety became so great
that she determined to go in quest ofbim.
Tutting on her coat and bat, she left her
child in charge of tbe landlady and went
out in search or her husband. On visiting
the depot she was nearly overcome with
grief on learning that he had been there,
secured his trunk and left for parts un
known. He also carried the check for her
trunk and all the money they bad, some
thing over 200. She returned to tbe hotel
where she told her story, giving as her
husband's name, Wm.IJlatncr. She says
hei' friends live in Louisville, Ky., and that
she now wants to go to them, but she is in
an utterly destitute , condition. 31ar
shal Cairns learning of the affair
visited her at the hotel, and found her al
most prostrated with mortification and
grief, aud not knowing what to do or
which way to turu. She seems to bo a very
nice young woman, but eslreniely illiter
ate. She can assign no reason for her hus
band's leaving as they had alwajsgot
along pleasantly together. On reaching
Wichita he wished to go ou to Dakota, but
she insisted on stopping here, and with
this exception they have nev er differed on
any material point. Marshal Cairns is try
ing to find the whereabouts of Blatner, but
if.unsucccssful a pass to Louisville, Ky.,
will probably be furnished this distressed
lady, when she will return to her parents.
A man who will thus purposely get his
wife in a strange place, and among stran
gers, steal her money and then desert ker,
is too mean to associate with wolves,
let alone men, and if Blatner is found be
should be made to make all reparation pos
sible.

LAND SLIDES.
Some mouths ago a certain dealer in sec
ond hand goods in thisclty, was called upon
by a man who was very anxious to dispose or
his household effects, as he was about
starling for the west and did not want to
carry his goods with bim. Among the arti
cles was an old and badly worn sofa, which
had seen better days, but they dated long
into tbo past. This tbe dealer was loth to
purchase, but finally struck a bar
gain, getting' the sola for about
its worth as kindling wood. When
the other articles were brought to his store,
along with the old sofa, which was pitched
to one side where it had laid until a few
days ago, when the dealer thought he
would tear it to pieces to get out the
springs. Iu doing this, what was bis sur
prise to find nicely stored away in a scam
iu the back a roll or greenbacks amounting
to ?42. They bad evidently been placod
there for safekeeping and then forgotten.
The dealer has also forgotten the iiame of
the party selling him the sofa, so as a mat
ter or course ho is about $40 ahead on the
traueaction.

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.
It is not oltcu that our attention is called
to a sadder scene than the ouc presented at
the residence of W. B. Drunnen iu West
Wichita, Wednesday.
Last Saturday 31 r. D. was taken violently
ill, and atoncc telegraphed for his father und
mother, who live in Grand Island, Nebraska,
but ere their arrival the fatal disease that
afflicted him had ruu its course, and the
spirit of Mr. I), had gone back to its 31akcr.
The fuccral ceremonies baa been at ranged,
and the corpse was ready for the grave
when the deceased's rather and mother ar-
rived, who were nearly prostrated with
grief on learning that their son, whom they
were hastening to see, had passed from
earth. The affcctlonato wire and mother
was so v crvvbclmcd with sorrow and the
attendant excitement that her nervous sys
tem gave way beneath the severe strain, and
she was thrown upon a bed of fever,
and was unable to attend the funeral serv
ices of her husband, which took place
Wednesday afternoon. The family were
but recent comers here, and have not an
extended acquaintance. The mother is
now laying at the point of death, and is
wholly unablo to care for her family of little
children, but no doubt tbe parents of her
husband will afford her help, and we feel
sure that the good citizens of West Wichi
ta will be generous in their aid and sym
pathy to this afflicted family.
Another Rats to Chicago.
In order to j-ivc the people of tin
city the advantage of the low rales
made by the Kansas City and Chicago
lines the Santa Fe have reduced the
round trip tickets for the Chicago
convention to $20.8o. This is one fare
for the round trip. The tickets will
be on sale al the union depot this
morning, by the Santa Fo and 'Frisco
roads. The train leaves by the former
road at 7:30 and by the latter at 9:50
a. in. These tickets will be on sale till
the 3d of .lime and good for return
passage till the 10th. The above is a
very low rate and a large number will
take advantage of it to viit the great
city and assist in the nomination of
the presidential cmdidate.
