collections for the same. He takes the pa
jicrs as they ionic from tlic pros and dis
tributes them to the cily subscribers, be
coming roponsible to the proprietors of
the Kaoi.k for the whole number dally ta
ken, and to him the proprietors look fur
their pay aud he to the subscribers, so that
if any considerable number should fail to
be prompt it would seriously embarrass him
atid his force of carriers. He prefers to
collect once a week and in no case wants a
subscriber to pay less often thau once a
month, unless it is paid in advance when
he will receipt for them, six or twelve
mouths. The circulation outside of the

Parties who attended the celebration at
Clearwater yesterday, report having had a
very pleasant time. Tho programme, as
published iu the Eaglk for the day's exer
cises, was carried out and proved very en
tertaining. The celebration was held iu
the grove across the river about one mile
from the town. There was a very large
crowd present, many of them beiug from
this city.
A young married lady of this city was
considerably taken back yesterday while
exhibiting her first born to a couple or little
girls ol about eight summers. On asking
them who they thought the little boy looked
like, oue of them promptly responded,
"like his lather," but the other, arter
gravely considering the momentous ques
tion and critically examining the cheruli,
said: "Weil. I think it looks like the hired
girl."
Yesterday afternoon burglars entered a
residence iu the south part of the city,
while the occupants were absent at the cele
bration at Eivcrside park, and succeeded
in mussing up things generally, but were
evidently scared away bclorc securing any
booty, as nothing of importance has been
missed. Our informant was unable to give
the name ol the family, but said that they
were recent comers.
A man "spilin'' for a fight, with blood iu
his eye, and the breath of alcohol about
his person, came up Douglas avenue ves
terday, brandishing a huge revolver, and
declaring that he was a tighter direct rrom
Fighterville, and wanted to tackle some
thing. Mc was accommodated, but the
man he ran against happened to be Dan
Parks, and the bellgcrent individual was
promptly taken in charge and will bo
given n chance in the police court to-day
to explain matters.
it was a good thing for us that yesterday
was not a nuslncss day, and that, there
lore business mcu cared nothing for the
market reports. .Night before last nearly a
column of telegraph reports of the mar
kets were put In type, and by au awkward
blunder, no one can explain how, a dead
report nearly a week old was dumped into
the forms. The mistake was never discov
ered till alter daylight and the edition had
gone to our patrons.
Several parties, among whom were a few
ladies, remained at Kivcrside paik la-t
evening until quite a late hour, and until
most of the crowd had dispersed, in older
to enjoy a bath iu tl e Little river, having
provided themselves with bathing suits
jne young lauy urcsscu in a gauzy Mother
Hubbard costume became annoyed at the
slowness of her companion, who, by the
way, is near sighted and wears glasses, and
turning angrily to her says, "Surely, Jen
nie, you're not going to wear yonr glasses
In the water." "Indeed I am," replied
Jennie, "nothing shall Induce me to take
off another thing."
That the women of Kansas are a full
match for the men and a little to spare, was
never more forcibly Illustrated than by a
little incident that occurred iu Gypsum
township the other day. For prudential
reasons, and In view of the fact that we
have not yet taken out an accident policy,
wo withhold all names. A farmer living in
that township was in a great hurry to get
his harvesting done, as the wheat was fully
ripe and the weather line. Therefore he
hitched lii- horses to the harvester and witli
his boys and hired men went out Into the
field aad began work, entirely overlooking
tho fact that the last stick of wood on the
woodpile had been burned to get
the breakfast. ltaging hungry the
force came In at noon. The good wife had
the table set with all the taste or which she
was mistress, and it really looked inviting
hut there was no dinner upon it, "Sarah,
where's the dinner?" inquired the larmer,
somewhat anxiously. "1 don't kuow
whether it is done or not. There was no
wood for a fire, so I hung it in the warmest
place I could find. It's on the ladder at the
south side of the house." It is needless to
add that the whole force was detailed at
chopping wood that afternoon.
GUS MAUT'S FUNERAL.
The body ol Gus Maut, who was
drowned in the Little river Friday ulght,
was recovered at about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning by the parties in search lor it.
The body had been carried but a short dis
tance below where the accident occurred,
and was found tangled up in the roots ol a
large tree in water about fourteen Icet
deep. It was taken to the undertaking
rooms of W. II. Kcndle, where it was
viewed by tho coroner' Juiy yesterday
morning. The jury then adjourned to Act
ing Coroner Hobb's office, and after hear
ing the evidence of those who wrre with
Mr. Maut at the time of the drowning, re
turned a verdict in accordance with the
above facts, i. e., that the deceased came to
bis death by accidental drowning in the
Little river.
Mr.Maut was a young man abouttvventy
four years of age, and had been in the cm
ploy of Koot llros. lor about four months.
He was a very cxcmplaty, sober and Indus
trious man, and must have oiiii means
laid by as he was quite frugal In his habits,
but no one knows what amount he had or
where it is. He bad no relatives in this
city, but bas a brother in Ness county to
whom word has been sent apprising bira
or Gus' sad fate. The Tuccral of the de
ceased occurred yesterday afternoon at
about T o'clock Irom Kendlc's undertaking
rooms and was generally attended by his
friends and acquaintances.
This Is the second case of drowning In
the Little river In less than a week, and
should be a warning lo all those who are
in the habit or bathing in this stream to
exercise more judgment and be less venturesome.
HOW HE WOUND UP THE DAY.
I marvel some
On this queer 5ay'g delights;
Its odd distractions.
Its peace inlractions,
And its. absorbing sights;
Hut yet,
Wo can torget
There goes my thumb.
In times gone by
I used to love its joys.
Its howl and clanging,
Its roar and danging,
Made by all sorts of boys.
And then
We older men
Good Lord! my eye.
It has been said
We never get too old
To like the feeling
Of 'ancy stealing
From hearts that can't grow cold.
And so,
With hair of snow
That thumped my head.
These children here
With things that fizz and pop.
liring buck the olden
Time that is golden;
And I am glad But stop !
That's much
Too very much !
I've lot an car!
THE FOURTH.
The Fourth of July celebrations in this
vicinity passed off very pleasantly and were
numerously attended, notwithstanding the
extreme heat. At about 10 o'clock In the
morning the Knights of Labor formed in
procession and marched through thcprincl
pal streets of the city on their way to HiV'
crside park where their celebration was
had. The parade was headed bv the band
and was quite imposing, the large banners
attracting much attention. Among the
mottoes carried by the order we noticed
the following: "Labor produces all and
labor should control it;'' "We demand jus
tice to all;" "In union there is strength,"
aud "The Knights ol Labor are coming two
million strong." At the park were swings,
platforms for dancing, aud boats for those
who loved to row. The chief orator ot the
day was Mr. Coffecn, ol Danville, III., who
Is the grand foreman of the general assem
bly of Knights of Labor or the United
States. Mis subject was "Labor," and he
handled It in a carclul, comprehen
sive and interesting manner, elicit
ing the most fjvorable comment from
those who heard him. A'tcr
the specchmaking was over, the large
crowd gave themselves up to diversified
enjoyments that the occasion afforded, not
dispersing to their homes until nearly or
quite sundown.
The race at Carey's park and other exer
cises there held, attiactcd a large number
of people to that vicinity, as did also the
races at the old fair grounds draw a crowd
in that di rection.
The Gciman Sunday school picnic, which
took place south of Lawrence avenue, was
also well attended and greatly enjoyed.
Taken all together, and considering that
no concentrated action was had in arrang
ing a Fourth of July programme, the day
passed off very pleasantly, and wa9 greatly
enjoved bynnst of those who were pre-cnt
at either of the places referred to.
FIFTEEN MINUTES IN CLEARWATER.
One of the Eagi.k'.n force boarded the
Sunflower train that went down to Clear
water last evening. The excursionists had
gone down in the morning to celebrate tbe
d'iy with our neighbors at that place. The
run dotvn of the extra was made In what
seemed only a few minutes and was
through one continuous farm of waving
corn, and shocks of wheat and oats.
A sight more beautiful was never seen in
any country. While the excursionists
were gathering for the homeward ritie we
took atrip up town with Hon. Win. Itoss,
of Kivcrside farm, the pioneer settler of
tut: .Mnnescau valley, vve counted in our

The hop given at the opera house last
evening by Gar'tld po-t (5. A. It., wa

joyment. Dancing did not begin until
quite a late hour, owing to the heated state
of the atmosphere, but alter once started

til nearly midnight. Most of the members
of Garfield post and their wives and daugh
ters were present, aud participated in the
pleasures of the evening.
at the kink.
The Knights of Labor's entertainment
at the rink last evening proved a source of
much enjoyment to quite a large crowd of
ladies and gentlemen. The early part ol
the evening was occupied in seeing and
listening to -i.tmeifck I!oy," as played by
the Wichita di-juiatic company, after which
the room was cleared and the balance oT

Wichita National, the Kansas National and
tbe Kansas State bank, with editorial refer

and discounts ot which latter bank reach
tbe sum of (187,402.85, as a single item
