DEDICATION SERVICES.
The Congregation Shows Its Llberalltv by,
Giving $i,S4P In Answer to One Call. j
I
The Christian church at tho corner of t
Lawrence avenue and Lincoln street was
dedicated with appropriate ceremonies last
Sunday by Rev. F. M. Bains, of Topoka.
Quite a large audience was present, every
teat being filled. The church is a hand
some frame structure. Everything about it
has the appearance of having been mado
and arranged by an educated hand. The
pulpit was tastefully decorated with natural
plants.
The services were opened with tho sing
ing of "All hail the power" &c, after
which Rev. Hendryx offered a most excel
lent prayer.
The choir then sang tho hymn "To the
work, to tho work," &c., and when tho
music died away Rev. Hendryx stepped to
tbo book and read the first scrip
turer lesson from tho sixteenth chapter of
Mathew, which was followed by prayer by
Her. Rains. Hymn 28, -I love thy kingdom
Lord," dec, was then announced, and after
the singing of which Bev. Rains stepped to
the front and read sixth verses, beginning
with the six verse of the first chapter of
Paul's letter to tho Gallatians.
TBe sermon was a good one and well suit
ed to the occasion. The speaker has a forci
ble style, and on taking up a point never
leaves it until all his hearers gain its full force
Ho had well prepared his sermon, and deliv
ered it without the use of notes. A synopsis
embracing the leading points only will be
attempted.
In referring to the verses read tho speaker
said the term scripture was used in its larg
est sense. He would contrast it with ovcry
religion. It would bo observed that tho
apostle was very jealous of his opponents.
He could not be moro emphatic or positive.
Tho teachings of the Jews wero so different
from his teachings that tncro
could scarcely be said to bo
any similarity. The gospel then is
tho gospel now. Wherever tho gospel is
preached men are better. Somo object to
it, it is true, but men object to everything.
They assume the liberty to compare it with
all tho false religions.
If the gospel does not meet every want of
man then it is ot divine. If it does it is
divine. It was as great a miracle to create
life for the cyo as to mako the eye.
Thero can be no better exercise than to
examine ourselves. Wo are much inclined
to examine others. Thero can be no better
exercise than to study ourselves, and if we
would do it more we would bavo ls time
to examino others.
Every man in his normal condition will
bolieve something. Every man ..ants some
thing upon which ho can fix his faith. Had
tho gospel met this longing cf tho human
soul?
Tho mainspring of christian conduct is
faith, little believing but faith. In ono
sense wo do not know there is a God or
heaven, and it is well. Wo know by faith
Is faith a mysticism or hard to believe?
How largo must my faith bt! How many
theories must I accept none. Tho apostle
never announced a theory or a doctrine.
One single proposition I must believe,
must believe that Jesus is tho Christ. Upon
this hangs our hopes of immortality. I care
not about your theories, but is Jeus tho
Christ, the Son of tho Hying God? This is
tho proposition I am to believe. This is the
eolden beam that Dermeatis both the Old
and tho Now Scriptures.
Every man in his normal condition wants
to be busy. Occasionally a man don't wnt
anything to do. Soma in the church are of
Outclass. I think Wichita hat tome of them
also.
Occasionally we hear it said that society is
going to pieces. I beliove that pooplo aro
bettor hero than in tho cast because every
man hero has something to do to keep from
starving. In tho cast thoy hayo time
to be idle, and henco the causo of more
wickedness there than here. Let tho dys
peptic preacher cry out against society, but
we have no reason to bo alarmed.
Work is tho watchword of Christian life.
I never saw a growler in tho church who
was a worker. No busy member has time
to complain.
Some bavo tho idea that tho church is
kind of perpetual 'motion, and will land
them in heaven.
Evorv man wants to love BOine ono or
something. Ho must have an object upon
v-hich to rest his affections. Has that foel-
ine boon provided for? God gives us an ob
ject worthy our regard. Wo want to be
loved we are loved. Wo want something
better. Wo build everything on hope.
Tho hope of something bettor tomorrow
helps us today. Wo hope for eternal rest.
This universal longing of tho human heart
is provided for in tho gospel.
I want to test your faith this
morning in tho gospel. You
rnm.ilain that hvnocrites are in - the
chufh. Docs that prove anything? No.
In complaining you compare yourself with
the worst. Don't do that. Compare your
self with the best. In doing this grumblers
will soo that they don't compare favorably.
We talk of tho great state of Kansas. We
forget that Christianity has built this coun
try. We h-ve built this chapel hero. It
(should bo r id for. Why? Because you
are getting rich. Do you know of a poor
man in Wichita? Of all co-temptiblo men
in this world it is he who always receives
but nter gives.
After the speaker had made somo closing
remarks well suited to mako a man untio his
purse strings ho proceeded to take subscrip
tions to finish paying for tho church. It
cost nearly S2.600 and $1,600 was yet to be
raised.

SILVER WEDDING.
Last Sunday evening -was the twenty-
fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and
Mrs. T. L. Myers, who live near Carey park.
In honor of tho event they gave a party to a
number of friends, who assembled in the
evening and were highly entertained by
their kind hospitality.
Tho following ladies and gentlemen were
present:
Mr. and Mrs. Fate, Mr. and Mrs. Slosscr,
Mr. Frank Mason and daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. William Thompson, Miss Zella Tur
ner, Miss Mamio Mahana, Mr. Charles Sny
der, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hatton, Mr. and
Mrs. P. IL Tompkins of Clearwater, and
Mr. W.M. Kirk ot Zanesville, Ohio. All
tho children were present except C. W., B.
L. add B. A. Myers.
Mr. and Mrs. Myers were the recipients of
quite a handsome list of presents, as can bo
seen from tho 'following: Mr. and Mrs,
Charles Hatton, a silver fruit dish: Mr. and
Mrs. W. a Little, a silver butter dish; Mr.
and Mrs. H. G. Ruggles, a fancy castor; Mr.
and Mrs. T. A. Thompson, a silyer butter
dish; Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Tompkins, a sil
ver pickle dish. In addition to tbo above
their children presented them with a silver
set consisting of a water pitcher, tea urn,
sucar bowl, svrup castor, butter dish and
spoon holder.
Near 9 o'clock the party was invited to
the supper table, on which were all tho deli
cacies of tho season. It was tastefully decor
ated with flowers, and in the language of all
present it was a "lovely supper." After it
had been discussed at length the party re
tired to the parlor, where some of the ladies
furnished music suited to the occasion. At
a late hour all returned home feeling they
had spent another exceedingly pleasant
evening.
Mr. and Mrs, Myers were married in
Bloomington, Ilk, and lived in that state for
some years. Mr. P. H. Tompkins, of Clear
water, was the only ono present who wit
nessed their marriage. He camo from his
homo to bo present en the occasion and talk
over youthful days. About nine years ago
they moved to EI Dorado, but remained
thero only a short time, removing to
Wichita.
A THRILLING CHASE.
Perhaps tho most exciting runaway that
has taken placo in tbo city for somo time,
occurred about 6 o'clock yesterday after
noon. A team attached to an unloaded
wagon on south Topcka avonuo took it into
their heads to run, and their driver, a white
man whoso nimo we failed to get, having ab
sorbed too much of celebration to properly
manipulate tho reins was at tho team's morcy,
which proved to bo a lacking quantity.
Running north on Topcka avenue tq Doug
las.tho runners turned west on that thorough
faro and wero going at a breakneck gait
when some parties who were opposito tho
Wichita National bank, rvi into tho street
to stop tlicm ; this caucd tho now thorough
ly froighlened hoes to shy to ono side and
they dashed headlong against nto'etrraph
pole and lamp post that standi n the bank
corner. This collision, of course, brought
them to a sudden halt. A haty summary
of results dovcloped: a half dead driver
with a broken nose, and minuj part of his
teetb, two stunned horse, u completely
smashed-un wacon, a demolished street
lamp, a collapsed sign, and some othiT
minor etceteras.
A SEVEKE HURT.
Mr. Ed. Slowart, brother or John Stewart,
was going down with J. V. Rose to look at
and purchase somo loU of Smith & Allen's
addition, yerterdy morning, between 11 ard
12 o'clock. Ro's went into his house, on
South Lawrence, leaving btowart, who is
about fifty years old, watching tho liortr,
which was hitched to a buegy. Stewart
holding tbo horso by tho rein. It seems
that something frightened tho horse, causing
him to jump, knockiug Mr. Stewart down.
and dragging biru some distance between
somo trees and into a shed. Ho must bavo
held on to the horse, for when found he
was fearfully cut across tho back of tho
head and was Iving unconscious beneath the
horse's feet.
Dr. A. 11. Wendell was called, who
drccd tho wound, when ho was removed to
his home, and at last accounts was resting
comfortably as would be expected.
THEY FIGHT FAIR.
A largo crowd repaired to Turner's grovo
last Sunday to enjoy the shado and partici
pate in tho pleasures of a pic nic Every
thing went on smoothly for a timo until
somo of tbo boys were feeling both patriotic
and important because of somo internal
forco brought to boar, when they partook of
tho satisfaction derived from a regular fist
combat, according to the Marquis of Queens-
hurry rules. Six fights wero recorded in
about fifteen minutes. As a matter of
course some of them got a frowning counte
nance, but no ono was so bdly faged out
but would bo ready for duty after a little
bracing up.
DIED.
July 4tb, aged four months, Malcolm,
eldest of tbo twin boys of Mr. and Mrs. T.
W. McFie, of Clearwater. Tho birth of
these little boys had filled the young
parents' hearts with gladness and their cup
of joy to overflowing, and their sudden loss
has overwhelmed them with extreme sor-
ow.
"To those who for his loss are grieved,
This consolation's given.
He's from a world of woo relieved
And goe to peace in heaven."
STATE NATIONAL DANK.
The State Bank of Kansas opens up this
morning as tho slato National uanc oi
Wichita, without chango of officers or di
rectors. Tho success of this from tho day
it was founded has been uniform and of
common notoriety. Solid, substantial and
conservative, there has been no time when
it did not command the confidence of the
cntl.e buiness public. May the State
Xr-tional provejust as prosperous and just
s nccesful, of which there Js no doubt.
THE GOVERNMENT UU1LDINO.
Hardl v a d-y pass-js that wo ate not asked
somth:ng with jeferenw to the gcvertiient
building. Tho trouble haa'beon with the
site, or rather the title to it. Somebody
failed to move fast enough. The appropria
tion long sines becamo a law, but the the
was never approved till last week. The
work on the drawings of the building is just
begun.
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Last Sunday morning one Mr, Snyder
was trying the reliability of his Smith A
Wesson by shooting at a mark on a board.
Finally one of the balls went through and
going a short distance hit Mr. M.E. Oakley.
yardmaster at the Santa Fe depot.
Medical aid was immediately summoned,
and after some disculty succeeded in re
moving the balk

PATRIOTIC WICHITA.
MOw the National Holiday was Spent at the)
Metropolis of the Garden State.
Catching the inspiration of the return of
tho national birthday the innumerable em
bryonic patriots of the city were up beuassa
yesterday morning, and almost before tie
bright twinkle ofthe start was absorbed a
the brilliant sunrays they were out and
making the fresh morning air retonent with
alternate bursts of merry laughter and the
sharp pop ofthe fire cracker.
Although but little had been said in the
prints about the Fourth and its observances
in a public way, everybody seemed to be on
the qui vive, and as the morning grew into
midday multitude of people were wending
their way to the different places selected for
the day's festivities.
The chief point of attraction was the Riv
erside park, the place chosen by the Sent of
Veterans, where with their friends they
would celebrate the day. They had pre
pared a program for the occasion which
called for a public display in the city. Ac
cordingly at 9:30 o'clock a procession was
formed on Water street in front of Memo
rial hall headed by NsfTs bank; then a char
iot containing fourteen misses representing
the Goddess of Liberty and the
thirteen original states: next the
Sons of Veterans, In lino, under "com
mand of First LieuL . L. Ingalls,
led by their drum corps; next the Po-peep
company, in charge of Mrs. Clum, repre
senting the continental congress; then by
the Mulvane flag corps in bunting-draped
yehiclqej then representatives of the G. A.
R. loaal post, followed by a long train of
vehicles filled with citizens of the town and
country who came in to participate.
After parading tho principal streets the
procession moved out to the park. Reach
ing the park tbo exercises were opened with
an overture by Jeff's band. Rev. Hamon
then pronounced tho opening invocation.
and after music, Mr. J. D. Caldwell read
the declaration of independence, prefacing
the reading with a short re
sume ot tho circumstances wmen ware
incident to its origin; tho sufferings, priva
tions and indignities endured by the com
patriots of that day prior and subsequent to
its enunciation.
After another musical interlude Col.
Milton Stewart, tho chosen orator of the
day, delivered an address, which for elo
quence, fervor and impassioned patriotic
sentiment did honor to his genius and no
bility ef soul no les than to the occasion
and those for whom it was specially pro
pared. (Tho full text of Col. Stewart's ad
dress appears on tho second page of this is
sue af tbo Eaole.)
After the address recess was taken until
1 o'clock. At that hour the order of exer
cosos was taken up.
Tho program of tho afternoon abounded
in a variety ot amusements, such as foot,
wheelbarrow and potato racing on tho
grounds, a scull race on tho river, theatrical
performances, etc , and a very entertaining
drill exercise by tho Mulvane flag corps,
under command of Capt. John Logan. This
feature was highly enjoyed by tho great
crowd of peoplo present, and was crcditablo
to tho winsomo misscn composing tho corps
and tho skill ot their tutor and commander.
After tho program was completed the
young folks betook themselves croqueting,
boat riding, rambling about tho park and
such other passtimes as they chose, and as
the day drew to a close gradually melted
away into the city and to their homes.
At night tho Sons of Veterans, under
whoso auspices the day's transpiring as
enumerated, gave a pyrotechnic display
from tho G. A. R. building, and afterwards
a ball in Memorial as a grand finale.
The arrangements for the occasion were
well planned and as well carried out, thanks
to tho inspirations of tbo generous Sons of
Veteran, not ajar or hitch, or the slightest
disturbance occurring at any timo during
the day.
Tho names of the misses representing tho
thirteen states, Uo-pecp company, and Flag
corpi, are unavoidably crowded out of this
report. Wo regret tho disappointment this
will causo tho dears, but it is unavoidable.
OPERA HOUSE
Every part of tho opera house was crowd
ed last evening to witness the production of
"Fanchon." Tho weather being v cry warm,
tho house crowded and tho celebrations of
tbo Fourth still in the minds of the audi-
encotnoro was some superfluous applause
and noiso during tho intermission, but
while the performance was taking place
there was tho best of order and respect to
the actors. Tho character of "Fanehon"
sparkled and sbined in the skillful handling
of Mrs. Maud Melville. Her leading sup
port, Mr. John D. O'Harra, is a promising
young actor. Tho other characters were
all well sustained, and it may be truthfully
said that the company is superior to many
higher priced affairs. Tho manager, Mr.
Miller, is a gentleman of refinement and
education, and ono of the most successful
theatrical manacers in Ameiica, and his
name is of itself, a guarantee of tho excel
lence of his company. Tomorrow night
will be given tho "Galley Slave," the la
mented Bartlcy Compbcll's master piece.

W1R UNTRUE.
Quite a wnattioaal ttory hat bean making
therms in the city during the last few
days. Tha parties concerned have hereto
fore enjoyed a rep-latkm that hat almost
placed them above suspicion, if such it the
wore of anyone. Tha names or ue
partial are known to the reporter, and ex
pected devvIopaMBtt, it it thought, wlU
place them in the poiatttion of everyone
very toon without producing them at pre
sent Tha high circle of society in wnicn
those concerned have been accustomed to
arcolate it not nggettive of fact at they
are.
One week ago today a tingle and married
gentleman were tiH"; on general topics
They were intusate friend aad assumed the
utmost liberty In all matters pertaining to
each other. . On this occasion the former
gentleman in a quiet way imparted informa
tion to his friend that intimated that his
wife wat not true to him. This for a time
was vehemently opposed, and even treated
with scorn by the intuited husband. He
could scarcely allow himself to hear the
word that brought trouble to hit fireside
without resenting it in a violent manner.
Finally from forces brought to bear by
the gentleman who had ventured the
delicate information, he entertained the
statement, but not without believing that
his friend was mistaken.
The following day suspicions arose in
his mind and doubl began to gather,
which led him to Investigate the matter.
The name of the party who it was alleged
was succeeding in gaining nit wife t affec
tions wu furnished him. This gentleman
occupies an office on East Douglas avenue.
He determined to utilize tho information. Ue
wrote a note to his wifo and signed
the name of the one charged with the crime.
The note contained a request for the lady to
come to "his office" at 12 o'clock last Fri
day night. It was sent by a messenger .boy
who returned bringing an answer of accept
ance. He had some hours before, however,
told hit wife that be wu going east Satur
day afternoon.
The answer wat etpecially "spooncv in
its nature, calling the supposed writer "dar
ling dear," "lovely creature," and many
other "names" calculated to put the most
valiant to flight-
Receiving this letter, it wu no
longer a suspicion. Doubt were supplanted
by certainties. His effort then should be to
prove it.
The time arrived for htm to start on his
eastern trip. He packed bis grip and kissed
bis wife a kind good-bye at the door. He
failed to take the train, but repaired to the
gentleman's room who had first imparted
the information, and there remained con
cealed ,the remainder of the day and until
after 11 o'clock that night. A short time
before the appointed hour he placed himself
at the foot of the stairs leading to the office
aforementioned. A few minute before
the timo his wifo appeared and started up
the stairs. At this moment he made his
presence known, muoh to the discomfiture
of hit wife. She seeing that she wu caught,
burst into tears, imploring her husband to
forgivo her. He replied to her entreaties in
a way that suggested be proposed to insti
tute proceedings for a divorce.
The conversation luted somo minutes,
when a passing party wu attracted by their
conversation. They, seeing him, started
home, and for the timo being discontinued
the conversation.
It is suspected, however, that he means
what he said, hut this remains for tho future
to determine.
