much of the south-western Kansas metrop
olis, that it was simply a persecution for him

Tho examinal ion he has made in the last

mind. He willingly concedes that the city
far exceeds what ho expected. Ho will
probably remain some days yet.

A MOTHKK'S TAIdC.
To tho Editor of the Eas'.e.
I am glad they are talking about the half
day plan of school keeping, as going for chil
dren. In my opinion, loumled upou observa
tion aud reflection, it is a sin against God
himself to keep young and gepw ing children
iu school six hours a day, five days a week,
four weeks in a month, and nine month in a
year. It is unnatural and inhuman; it is a
sin against God, because it is sinning against
his works, for children are the workmanship
of his hands; it is treating them unatural to
keep them still six hours a day; because God
made them to move every moment, therefore
it is inhuman to restrain them to such an ex
tent. I tell you it is to long, inhuman and
unnatural to keep children in school six
hours a day from six to fifteen or si xteeu
years of age. I believe it is ona cause " hj
there is such an increase of crime aud ras
cality. The childrens' natural feelings are
restrained, peat up and aggravated, and they
show it the instaut they get out of tho school
room by yelling enough for :J1 times and eter
nity. Thej aroforeod intoanunnatuinl con
dition, injurious to body aud mind. Boston
found that out a good many years ago and
adopted tho plan, at that time, of giving tho
children a five minutes recess every half hour.
Thoy observed that thea-children were much
smaller aud more delicate than children of
tho western states Children need fre?h air
aud exercise to developo them, this they can
not get in the school room. Don't let our
education supersede our religion. Mothers,
it is religion to take care of our children,
not to get nd jf them (in the school room cr
any where else) as many hours a day as we
can, it would be better if vt would put our
shoulders to the wheel and educate them Ovir
selves than to do that.
The schools are graded and systematized to
death anyhow, at present, viz: we have r.
great writing professor and the children
write two or three lines twice or thrice a
week, instead of writing under their teacher's
directions one-half hour a day, as wo used
to do on the-old school plan. Adiec.
U. S. DISTRiCTC0URT.
Dcatcs and Sloane Acquitted Roman
Nose Found Guilty of Assault
with Deadly Weapons.
Two Seminoles Create a Sensation iu
Court by Pleading Guilty to a
Capital Crime.
The arjmment in the Deates case, 'the evi
dence in which had been given the day be
fore, was the first business before the court
nf tar .rmfoninT vrctprd.lV mOmiUJT. ihe
jury afterwards retired and were out but a
few minutes, when they brought in a verdict
of not guilty.
The two Scminoles, John Washington and
Simmoas,.were then arraigned on an indict
ment charging them with raping Mrs.
Joseph Bartell. The penalty for this offense
is death, and quite a sensation was created
in court when both th3 prisoners plead guil
tj'. The nature of the penalty was explained
to the two men, aud again they pleaded as
before. Thev finally said something about
the crime being committed through the con
sent of tho woman, and the judge entered a
plea of not guilty, thus allowing them at
least a trial.
Roman Nose, a Cheyenne chiof who had
been confined at Fort Leavenworth past for
fourteen month;;. n:irl has served with his
- ,
brother a term in penitentiary, was then ar
raigned, charged with assault with a deadly
weapon. He pleaded not guilty, and Judge
Campbell was assigned as his attorney.
William Woodham was next brought into
court, and pleaded not guilty to assault with
deadly weapons.
Tho jury iu the case against James Sloane
was impauuelled, when court adjourned.
In the afternoon court commenced prompt
at 2 oV-lock and the case of the United States
against James Sloane, charged with larceny,
immediately taken up. Leo Whistler was
first called, and said he knew Sloan and
Daughcrty, aud that about the 10th of June,
Ike Daugherty sold him a mare for $20: he
kept her about a mouth, when she got away
aud returned to the ranch upon which she
was raised, and was claimed by Robert
Daugherty.
Ike Daugherty, the man charged with
Sloue, was next put upou tho stand by Mr.
MacMcechau for the defense. He said he got
tho mare from the prairie, and sold her to
Whistler. Sloane never had anything to do
with tho theft; Sloane and he live about ten
miles apart; Sloane was at home at the time
he went to catch the mare, and he rode her
sometimes.
By the time that tue examination of Daugh
erty was completed, Long Jim, a Seminole,
another witness for the'state, was brought in
and fined $5 for keeping tho court waiting.
Ho gave his testimony through, an interpre
ter, and said he knew Sloane and Daugherty.
Sloane was seen riding the mare often, but
he did not see him tako,tho mare away.
Mr. Perry then said ho did not think there
was anything in the case; and tho judge di
rected that a verdict of not guilty be re
turned. The case next called was that of Roman
Nose, a Cheyenne chief charged with assault
upon Ben Clark, a government scout sta
tioned at Fort Reno on the 15th of Septem
ber, 1SS4.
No objection being made to the jury they
were all sworn in.
Claikwas tho first witness for the state.
He had lived at Fort Reno for about ten
years, at Camp Supply eight years, and has
been engaged as a scout and interpreter of
tho United States thirty years; has known
Roman No.o since he came down from Da
kota in '77, and has been working upou the
reservation; About two years ago Mr.
Clark was passing from his house to the sut
tler store and met Roman Nose; ho spoko to
him and said ho heard he had been threaten
ing his life. The latter said he had aud
would kill him. Clark told him to do so now.
The latter then started for the store. After
mailing a few steps, Johnson, a private sol
dier, sitting on a bench, cried, "Look out, he
is coming for j'our with a kmfo." He turned
quickly around with a revolver in his hand,
aud when Roman saw this he stopped still.
Mr. Clark ordered him to put up his knife,
which he did. Tho Indian then got upon a
horse and, riding along the street, defied all
the white people, Hearing that he was go
ing to bo arrested by the guard he rode
toward them, defying them; but when the
guard appeared ho rodo away. Tho knife the
Indian had was a butcher knife, used for cut
ting meat and also for scalping.
Cross-!-xamination. Old Bull was stand
ing talking to Roman Nose at tho time.
Old Bull was a mother-in-law of Clark's, his
wife being a Cheyenne and sister of Old Bull.
This woman uever was Roman No-e's wife ;
he had a wife aud she had a daughter that
Avas killed by a pitol shot fired by either
Mr. Clark, Romeo, a Mexican, or some
soldier who went to arrest tho chief, the
charge being this one and also the one charg
ing him with breaking into a bakery. Mr.
Clark did not have him arrested, but it was
done by the post commandant.
The grand jury came in and returned nine
te?n indictments, making in all ono hundred
and sixteen, tho largest over returned in tho
district; among them are many capital aud
grave offenses. The judge then thanked the
jurors for their industry and the faithful
manner in which they had discharged tiieir
duties.
John Johnson, a private of the 24 tn In
fantry, was noxt called and said ho knew
both Clark aud Roman Nose, ho was a wit
uess to the transaction between the two, and
was kitting in front of the pot store. The
two were talking whm first he saw them;
Clark turned around to go to the store and
then Ro.nan Nose pulled his knifo and was
slipping up behind Clark. He warned
tho latter, when he turned around
with a revolver in his hand.
When they f aced each other they commenced
talking Indian, "and I didn't know anything
about it."
Cross-examined. He made ten short steps;
tha knife was drawn from under his blanket;
don't know when he put tho knife down.
Government rested the com. Ten minutes
iuteruiissioa w.-is granted Judge Campbell to
consult with his client. They then returned
and Roman Nose, tho defendant, s. rathr
good looking Indian dressed in a nice black
suit, bright; bluo uecktie and a button hole
bouquet, th as put upon the st.nd nudsaid:
"Mo go to poet to ston.', andr& set Ujwu on
floor, and smoke cigar; Bin Clark's wife's
brother set down with me. Mt say, "Ben
Clark, me friend1 when tha judga stopped
1
( Lhn for giving irrelavans testimony. It be
, came apparent that he could not be put in as
I vatness. He was taken from the stand and
. then the evidence closed. Mr. Campbell
made the opening argument, followed by Mr. j
Perry of tho state. Judgo 'Foster then de
livered his instructions to the jury. They
retired and did not return until after S
o'clock with their verdict of guilty.
The following resolutions were vaade out
by the grand jury and presented to the gen
tlemen named:
Resolved, That the thanks of this grand
jury are due and hereby tendered to United
States District Attorney W. C. Perry and
his able assistant, Eugene Hagan, for their
courtious treatment and their prompt and
efficient services in enabling the grand jury
to speedily transact the business brought be
fore it
Resolved, That the members of the grand
jury, individually and collectively return
our thanks to our foreman, Mr. L. Brown,
for his uniform urbanity, and that we shall
always remember with pleasure our inter
course with him in the jury room.
Resolved, That the clerk of the grand jury
be and is hereby requested to furnish a copy
of these resolutions to the Eagle and Beacon
of Wichita, and also a copy each to Messrs.
Perry, Hagan and Brown.

THE DEMCCKATIC MEETING.
Last evening the Democrats of the city
wero addressed in the court room by W. D.
Kelly, of Leavenworth, Democratic nominee
for state auditor. The room was pretty well
filled and the .speech was of the usual cam
paign order. Bat an unusual proceeding
took place and one which was not. down on
the program. After the speaker of the even
ing had taken his seat upon finishing his ad
dres. W. W. Jennings the president of the
meethig, arose and invited an old coloi'ed
gentlemen, who was sitting beside him and
whom ho introduced a. his friend from Em
poria, to make a few remarks. Tho old gen
tleman arose and gaining the close attention
of the aulicnee by his peculiarly pleasant
aud agreeable African dialect and style'
launched out in quite a little speech, saying
that he was not, however, in entire sympathy
with all that had been said, as he was a Re
publican. This had an electrical effect upon
the audience, which seemed composed prin
cipally of Republicans, and huzzas and bats
for some time filled the air.
A NEW ENTERPRISE.
Some weeks ago Mr. Mutchler, who is in
terested in a dj'eing establishment inDes
Moines, Iowa, and also in one at Ottumwa,
came to this city to look over tho facilities
for starting a similar enterprise here. He
had visited Omaha, Topeka and Atchison,
but was not satisfied to locate in any of
those places until he saw Wichita ' On
reaching this placo it did not tako him long
to decide that this was the place for him,
and he proceeded to make arrangements ac
cordingly. A house was rented on Market street, be
tween Douglas 7 avenue and First
street, and immediately arrangements
were being made to commence business.
The firm goes under tho nama of Mutchler &
Zollars. Yesterday everything was made
ready for business. The proprietors seem to
be energetic and have an eye to business.
They say they can do work iu their line as
well as any of tha similar establishments in
Kansas City and St. Louis. This seemed a
good field for them as all that sort of busi
noss went to one of those cities. They expect
to show the psople here aud tho neighboring
towns in a short time that their work can be
done here aud will not have to bear the ex
pense of shipping.
PHEASANT QUARTERS.
Tho onice of the "Wells Fargo and Adams
Express Co., on West Douglas avenue have
undergone some extensive aud important
changes, by which their quarters in tho city
hero have made not ouly more pleasant, but
also much more convenient and suitable for
tho transaction of their large and iucreasing
business. In front and upon each side as you
cuter the oilice are the desks aud departments
of the agents; on tho left that of C. A. Phil
lips and opposite that of tho popular route
agents, E. J. Crowe and R. I. Melntyre.
Tho cashier's department over which A. W.
Reeves has so ably presided for th lat year
has been improved by the addition of
a fine counter and wire railing.
The money delivery departmant under the
chargo of J. R. James has also been improved
by allotting it to a separate aud well arranged
department.
The freight room ii large and very com
modious; goods can be received and well and
safely stored. A room called the "on hand
room" has undergone tiie sanu kind of
chango as the other part of tho oSice, having
been enlarged aud admirably fitted up for
keeping of uncalled packages of which the
tranMent character of tho city's population
uoce&sjirily causea'a large collection.
The company receive packages over all the
railroads coming into the city. They have
now three express wagons aud intend soon to
add a fourth. "What with these facilities for
receiving aud the large and ailmirably ar
ranged offices for Storage and transaction of
tiiL-ir business this company is certainly
ready to attend to aiT.iirs entrusted to their
care with safety aud dispatch.
JOINTISTS RATTLED.
Yesterday was a sad day among tha joint
ists. Ths officers got themselves in shape
near noon with tho intention of making pro
fessionals calls. In a short time after they
started out Dr. E. Roder found himself hon
ored by a visit with an invitation to go up to
Justice Thomas' ofllca. He went as a mat
ter of course and for a time did not thiak
that he was guilt- pf and violation of law,
but after reflecting sometime he concluded
to plead guilty, and was giTen the usual
amount thirty days and 8103 plus trim
mings. John Jrich was also taken from behind the
bar aud given tho saais punbhment. The
other thre gentlemen who were brought up
before his honor claim&i to be members of
the Doe family.
Justice Walker also assisted in adminis
tering justise. Harry Overton
was first brought in, aa 1 pleading jrailty was
fined" the UMial doe. Two mora members of
the Doe fsunily were introduced to his honor
and "fejved up."'
The day's work result! in placing eight
joiutists im jaiL Warrants were issued for
others but they were not found.
The sheriff made one trip on the west side,
but all in vain, as his bird bad flown a few
hour before his arrival
THE aillilTIA.
This evening there will be a piizo drill by

Topeka and Santa Fe to Emporia, and tnence
to their destination over the Missouri Pacific
system They will remain in camp daring
the week.
OUR FAIR POINTERS.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
The applications for stables for horses and
cattle, hojr and chicken pens, have been so
large that our agricultural society iscom-
nelled to add more pens and stables to accom
modate the immense display that will be
made next week. Several of our business
men have made applications for space in our
halls to make a display of their goods, wares
and manufactures. The present indications
lead one to believe that this year's fair will
surpass anything of tho k:nd ever made m
tho state of Kansas.
The K. P. bank has been engaged to dis
course music to enliven the occasion,
and Major Powell will have tho street rail
road track completed to the gate of the fair
grounds by Monday, and everybody can go
and come with a degree of comfort, hereto
fore never enjoyed.
Parties residing along the Wichita & Den
ver railroad between this and Hutchinson
can come in on tho morning train at 8:30 and
return at 4 p. in., sharp, (instead of 1 p. m.)
