The busineas portion of the city was thrown into considerable commotion about 8 o'clock yesterday morning by an attempt on the pert of A. D. Stryker to kill J. W. Bickell, The circumstances connected 'with the affair, as related by parties who were witnesses to it, are substantially as follows: About the hour mentioned Mr. J. W. Bickell was going north on Main street, and jurt a be reached the pavement against the county building, corner Main and First streets, Stryker stepped from behind a clump of gentlemen standing near the foot of the steps that lead to the corner entrance to the building, and with the remark, "You d d sonof ab ,m kill you," thrust a pistol to within a foot of Bickell and fired, but the aim was bad and the ball entered the ground a few feet behind. Shocked and astounded at the attack, which was altogether unexpected, and being unarmed and wholly unprepared to meet it, Mr. Bickell caught Mr. C. E. Bichey, who was standing nearest him, and whirled him around, placing him between himself and Stryker. ' Just then Stryker fired a second shot which also missed its intended victim, but which made a closo call on a man named Martin, driver of street car No. 10, that was passing at the time, cutting his sleeve and scarifying the skin on his arm from the wrist to tho elbow. At this juncture, Mr. J. D. McCoy, who had been in conversation with Mr. Richey, threw his left arm around Stryker's neck and seized the pistol with his right, and in the act of wrenching the weapon from the would-be murderer, it was discharged a third time, but the bullet flattened itself against the brick wall a few feet away and did no harm. This ended the shooting. Mcssw. McCoy and Richey disarming Stryker, whp, a few moments later was taken in charge by Officer Snyder and conveyed to the city prison. In the meantime Mr. Bickell, realizing his de fenseless condition, and acting upon the first promptings of nature, i. e., self-preservation, sought safety in an adjacent office. Shortly afterward "ho went before Jude Walker and swore out a warrant for Stry ker, charging him with assault with intent to kill. Later in the day Stryker was taken boforo Judge Walker who fixed his bond at 2,000 lor his appearance before the circuit court. In default of bail he was turned over to tho shoriff and placed in the county jail to await the action of the grand jury and circuit court. As to the cause of tho difficulty. It seems there has been some disagreement between Stryker and Bickell, running back for sev eral weeks, and which had its origin, per- hans. in the lodiro of Knichts of Labor of which both ware members. Of this it is not our province to speak just now, nor do tho public care particularly to know; suffico it Bickell asked for and was granted a with drawal card and last week Stryksr was do posed frcm the position of mister workman and dismissed from tho assembly. In addition to the trouble just men tioned Stryker and Flatt & Bickell had somo disagreement about a job of work, and Stryker charged tho blame of this upon Bickell. Then, outside parties bavo busied themselves running back and forth filling the office of tale-bearer (a most vil lainous occupation), and have conveyed from one to the other what thoy wero pleased to construe into threats of violence, and this is suggested by soma as tho imme diate cause of the open rupture. Ordinarily it is mean and contemptible to jump on an unfortunato whpn ho is under tho ban of an adverse public senti ment and is overtaken in a fault or crime. Tbo writer docs not consider this, howoier, acasothat justifies the exercise of forbear ance, for as is known by almost every ono in Wichita who knows anything of the man at all, knows that A. D. Stryker is a bad, dangerous man in any community. Pos sessed of a naturally irrascible temperament his habits for some time excessive drinking and general dissipation have transformed him into a crack of a dangerous type. Wo are informed his antecedents are not of tho order to be admired; that whilo his parenta are worthy, good citizens, ho has been self-willed and hard to control. This being his predisposition, and his courso of life such as indicated, it is not strange if his home has not been a happy one, though his wife is represented as an amiable lady and a true wife, and his children bright, intelli gent and lovable. Fity 'tis that, surrounded by tbo ties and inducements to higher aims and nobler ac tions, as A. D. Stryker evidently has been, a man should permit himself to bo led by tho devil a captive at his will until he should be come his abject slave, as this poor, to be pitied monomaniac is. His suffering family havo the svmDathr of all. but the hero of this article is hardly entitled to pity from any. Tho accused will be given a preliminary hearing befero Judge Walker tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. BUSINESS HOUSES BUILNINO. Jewell and Castlo havo determined to put up a store building on South Main near Williams street. It will bo a two story brick with a fifty foot front, and when com pleted will be ono of the fino business houses in the city. Adjoining their building Mr. W. Schwitosor will erect a two story brick with a twenty-five foot front. Mr. M. Stewart will erect a two story brick with a twenty-flvo foot front on south cast corner of Main and Waterman streets. When all the above business houses are completed it will give quite a busicess ap pearance to that part of town. A BREAKFAST JOB. Early yesterday morning Fourth avenue was favored with a run away. A treacher ous goer near Douglas avenue, attached to a wagon took advantage of his driver s con fidence or negligence, and started north, knowing, no doubt, that it was going to be a terrible hot day he would seek an iceberg. He gave up in despair, however, before he reached the cool breezes and was compelled to content himself with one hundred and ten degrees, accompanied with other incon veniences. On his trip ho run against several other wagons but did little damage to the one he was drawing. TESTIMONIES CONCERNING THE Y. M. C. A. It has become a national institution.

The young ladies of the First Ward Xotboditt Episcopal Sunday school will give aa ice cream party and festival at the school house on the West Side Thursday eresuag, Jsdy 8th. The young ladies having made qaite extensive arraageaeoU for a eresuBC. moat cordially invite everybody to. tfceit festival, asaariat; every 0M that the evaatag will be a SiMttaatrsaktt U kiaks sT u closed ievstfe THE NEW NATIONAL BANK. Reference was made yesterday morning in these columns to the conversion of the Kansas State bank into the "State National Bank." The reorganization was in reality made Saturday, and in conformity with the comptroller's notice as appeared Sunday morning. In winding up we oia oauit i affairs were found all sound and correct, with a big deposit, and a big reserve fund in New York, Boston and Chicago banks. The bank starts out under its new name and now charter with a paid up capital stock of 5100,000, or doublo its old stock, and with an added surplus from tho old bank of 55,000. Joseph P. Allen, whose name stood at the head of the li.t of directors under the old organization, becomes vice-president of tho State National bank; Lombard, Jr., president, L. D. Skinner, cashier and W. H-Livingston, assistant cashier, hold their positions. To the old list or directors have been added Jno. B. Carey, Peter Getto, P. V. Healey, Kos Harris and Wo. Flavins Green, each name a guarranty of personal responsibility and financial strength. In fact tho State National Bank or Wichita as capitalized, organized and heeled, must and will not only do a large and increasing bus iness, but command tho entire trust and confidence of merchants, manufacturers and of private depositors, and it is little else than supererogation. OKLAHOMA. The Oklahoma racket is still assuming threatening proportions, and in the language of those interested the demands of tho pro posed invaders are becoming more emphatic and they mean to gain the prize. The forces are still getting themselves in shape, and it is now confidently claimed that three-fifths of tbo seven thousand are actually ready to march at the command, whilo theothcrs arc making preparations as fast as possible. They now claim the large amount of $C2, 000 collected and ready for use. They are arming themselves with the long shooting rifles and all the accoutrements and para- Dhernalia of war. The appearance of a small sauad of troops does not scorn to frighten them in the least, and they boastfully assert tho completion of their scheme. Some, however, claim that they will make verj thing ready, and through a grand show and extensive threats they can bring about a reconsideration of tho much mooted ques tion and succeed in gaining their point by arbitration. In other words thoy will not attempt to fight their ivay, but attract atttn- tion and gain their point by en 11 mosns. In their effort, however, to attract atten tion, they are talking of going to Fort Leav enworth and taking possession whilo the troops aro enjojing tho warm weather at Arkansas City. A MORE EFFICIENT FIRE DEPARTMENT. Tho fire bell that set up a racket on Mon' div introduced tho question of a nicro effl cient fire department again. Whilo the hoso carts wero being hauleJ along firit by whoever showed a willing hand a promi nent gentleman as discussing the merits and demerits of Mich an arrangement. "In tho first place,,' said I, "they haro a whole ward in which to look for tho fire. You seo that is a territo- n.thtr l.ire for them to mako a search accompanied with a v.ngon. Suppose even that tltor know where tbo lira is, that is a slow ratthed by which to get to the seal of war. Afiro could get under such headway that it would bo almost impossibla to stop it. This city runs a risk every dny of losing more by fire than a valuable and tn.ll-reguli.ted firo department would cojt." Quite a number of gentlemen erc henrd to express similar opinions tn that occasion and yesterday. Tho fnct that the accident which brought out tho alarm did not result in doing dmagn does not, in the minds of those since heard epoakun thesubjitt, lessen tho imnortanco of a department. It was a reminder. ANOTHER FIRM SEEKS WICHITA. Last Saturday Mr. Norris. of tho firm of Norris & Co., of Carthago, Missouri, arrived in tho city last Saturday for tho purpose of sizinir un the citv with an eye to bumcs. By the timo Monday arrived he whs pre pared to talk business and act accordingly. If the tov.n suited him ho proposed to establish nn acenrv for hi3 brick, and as it did he has inado arrangements with tho Whiclnta Fuel company to sell in this section of tho country. Tno company will send their product here for a time, but expect to establish a brick yard near the city before long. In fact somo parties aro now making investiga tion and examining clay for tho purpose of making a purchase and locating a yard in this vicinity. It is not definitely known, but tho com pany will probably not commenco tbo man ufacture of brick here this year. Monday night some ono without regard to propriety or care for tho consequences threw a lichtod ciant fire cracker on to tho pavement on East Douglas avenue just as two ladies passed by. The missile exploded under tho feet of one of tbo ladies and set firo to hor dress, which was of somo light material. The lady was so startled by tbo explosion that sho did not discover that her clothing was on firo, and passed on; but a gentleman who was standing near saw what had happened, and promptly catching tho ladv extineuished tho flame before it had burned to the flesh. The young lady's father was mado acquainted with the occur rence, which so outraged his feelings that he was with difficulty restrained from ad ministering a severe and merited castigation upon tho boor. Such acts of criminal care lessness, to call it by no worse name, are censurable in tho exlremo and ought to be punished if there is any way to get at them. To the Editor of the Dallr Eacle. Aiousta. Kan., July 2. Mr. Ed Boyle, the gentleman mentioned in connection with Harry Wciland, found dead at Ando- vcr last Sunday morning, is in this city vis iting his uncle, Ed C. Boyle. Tbey both came out to the Frisco depot for Boyle to take tho 9X0 train for Augusta. They parted at tbo depot, Boyle riding on the engine, he being a locomotive fireman, hav inr the promise or Wciland to como over some Sunday. Mr. Boyle has no idea how or by Weiland should get on the train, or ir he did get on, why he should be put off, as he had plenty of money in the watch fob of his pants to pay his fare. Respectfully, C. H. Kcrtz. The streets of this city yesterday were full or tho little pest called the chinch bugs. They had mortialed their hosts and made a raidon the corn .fields of this county, but the immense growth of the aforesaid corn disgusted the Iittlo stinkers, and tbey moved to town. , Ed. Philips, of Salem township, and a delegate to the Republican state convention, came into the city jesterday, and left on the evening train for Topeka to assist in j nominating the next governor and other state officers. Policeman Snyder run in three drunks yesterday. One showed up with the !rv-monev. and another left a new suit of clothes as security, while the third accepted a position oa the Topeka avenue ditch.

Mr. Oms-GshU istsjrasi Ires A PSESENTATION. Last evecirg the Garfield pott held its regular meeting, and when the call for new business was made CoL G. C. Lewi pre sented Post Commander John Fisher with a gavel. Cok Lewis spoke as follows : Post Comnander : To you, as tho representative of this post. I am about to present this gaveL It has been secured through the large Tiearted generosity of Comrade Richey, who has re quested me to donate it to the post. It is not without historic interest. No soldier of the union will ever look upon it without a thrill of tho old tune fire that uickened his pulse in the roar of battle, .'his handle is of iron wood, cut from the spot where the battle raged most fiercely on iicnesaw mountain. j.ne neaa oi we mallet is of southern pine, carved from the trunk of a tree upon the bloody field of Chickamauga. Set with in tho face of tho mallet head, as a mosaic, is a bit of cellar that felt the shock, and trembled with the vibrations of the artillery, at Stone river and here, car ried almost out of sight in its side, making an ugly and horrible wound, Is an iron grape shot, fired by rebel artillery at tho union lines, which spent its force upon and buried itself out ol stent witmn a growing tree. My comrades, the history of the great struggle for tho perpetuity of this nation the toils and dangers, the deeds of heroism and of sacrifice, are all written and symbol ized in this bit of wood. As wo look upon this cruel shot, torn from its hiding phtco after more than twenty years, many of us aro here who heard the report of the gun that fired it. It was one of the thousand pieces of artillery and the hundred thou sand muskets whose mighty and continuous roar filled our esrs as they spit forth from their iron throats tho firo and smoke, and the deadly shower of lead and iron that thinned our ranks on those dreadful days in September, 'C3. Who knows but that shot, ere its force was spent, passed through the heart of a comrade ! Who can tell but that its follows. fired in tbo self samo charge, carried weep ing that could not be comported far away in tho north to a mother's or a widows heart? As the tree that received this rebel shot grew on and flourished, so this Nation survived the efforts of tbo rebelion to take its life not, indeed, without a scar, but like the tree, still showing the dire and cruel wound in the persons of its maimed, and crippled, and broken down and suffering heroes, who stood between rebel bullets and the Nation's heart. It is fitting and appropriate that pieces of wood and iron with such a history, should bo gathered as thoy have been by loyal patriot harnU and shaped together into an instrument that represents the authority of the presiding officer of the noblest order of America. It is peculiarly proper that a gavel, manufactured from the wood of trees that have quivered end shook with the roar of cannon, whilo their roots were bathed with tho blood of heroes and their leaves inhaled the sulphurous smoke, amid tho mighty and tumultuous thunders of threo great battles, should now, after twenty years of peace and sunshine, call with its gentle rappings to charitablo and patriotic duties tbo gray-haired surviving veterans of thoso stormy days of war. Foot Commander, to you" and your suc cessors, in trust for Garfield Post, I now present this ga el. Mr. Fisher responded in a well prepared and fitting speech. Its length prevents its publication in this issue. After ho had finished his remarks tho post honored Capt. Richey with a vote of thanks for obtaining tho gavel and Col. Lewis re ceived tho samo complement for tho excel lent manner in which ho presented it. Mr. Fiher was also tendered a ote of thanks for bis excellent speech of accept- KEAL KSTATE TRANFEKS The following nre tho roal citato transfers recorded in tho office of remitter of deeds yesterday : A E Hoover to F W Spaulding, bo- cinninc 1G rods n of nw cor ot sw qr of ne-10 27-1 e, thence Turning o 20 rods, s 125 ft, w 20 rods n 125 ft.

M, Stanley," is a five cent cigar, and tho quali ties of the latter brands are of themselves sufficient guarantee that the new "Firo Brand" is as good as any cigar placed on tho market for five cents. This house never retrogrades. They are always coming to the front with something new that is an im provement over old brands. The reputation of Chas. Hofman & Co. is staked on the "Firo Brand" as tho best cigar in the market for fire cents. For sale by D. L. Herman, 612 Douglas avenue, J. M. Shackleford and J.M. Gandolfo & Co. d42-4t Look Here.
