It is a conceit of legal lore, so it is said,
that a person once adjudged insane so re
mains, until declared sane by a court of
competent jurisdiction. The rule is an
old one, and is not often applied. Its ap
plication in this country is very infre
quent, but the case of John Nau in the
probate court yesterday was one which
came under that head.
Everybody knows John Nau. He is an old
timer here. At one time carrying the hod,
still later running a boarding house in an
obscure part of town, later still carrying
on business on Douglas avenue, he became
a familiar figure to the way-faring many
and to our business men generally. He is
a familiar figure still. Of late John Nau
has been playing to hard luck, to use a
familiar term. About two or three
mouths since John had a bad spell of sick
ness, and upon his partial recovery it was
discovered that his mind was disordered.
He showed every sign of insanity, wander
ing aimlessly about the streets. Soon after
an inquest of insanity was held in the pro
bate court and a jury before Judge Buck
ner decleared him insane. Yesterday he
was called into the probate court when
after a careful examination by competent
physicians, ho was declared sane by Judge
Buckner. Ho has been improving for a
long time and the official dispatched to
bring him to town found him industrious
ly at work making garden.

The damage to th8 wagon was slight, the

RAILWAY RUMBLES.
What are our women coming to in the
great change that is being adopted by
them in the fashioning and cut of their
clothes. For one we must confess that we
just stand and hold our breath when any
of them now delesarte by us on the street.
Tho most primitive Greek costumes could
not show the outlines of a woman as do
these marvelously cut and gored glove
fitting costumes which show every curve
and line, limb and play of muscle. What
has become of the petticoat and all their
dainty drapery? Can there be anything
left inside this fashionable cut save the
woman herself? For one we don't believe
there can be. Will all the women, big
and little, fat and slim, look well, appear
attractive in this clinging dress that
knows no underskirts, no anything, save
tho human form divine? We guess they will.
We only regret that the fashion Cuds us
so old. Heavens what a fellow misses by
being born too soon. And the extreme of
the latest cut and gore has not appeared in
the west yet, which fashion leaders of
Europe and America are studying over.
But in whatever a pretty woman looks
pretty in, that fashion will adopt. The
innovation is to mako those inclined to
stoutness to appear an unrivaled sculp
tured slimness. The fact alone assures its
popularity in Wichita, where water and
climate and home envirenment all conspire
to mako the majority of women as stout
as tney are sweet.
AVICIUTA'S
The fire company was called to the West
Side last night. They responded promptly
and found an old vacant store building
on the southwest corner of Chicago avenue
and Oak street, wrapped in flames. The
fire was checked as soon as a stream could
bo turned on, and only the roof was de
stroyed. The fite laddies say there were
more fires on the West Side.during the past
few months, than in all other parts of the
city combined.
COU STEWART'S POSITION ENDORSED.
To the Edlter of the Eagle:
At a regular meeting of McGorney post

March 21, 1891, a resolution was unani
mously adopted tendering a vote of

gard to charging soldiers for cashing their
pension check. J. T. CRAIG, Commander.

CKAYTON GONE.
Messrs. Campbell and Amidou returned
from El Dorado yesterday, where the had
been on legal business. The gentlemen
are the attorneys for the defendants in the
case of the State of Kansas vs. Cray ton and
BurnhamJ JCrayton was up for trial on
Monday at El Dorado, but the court ad
journed before ending the case. Crayton
was out under a bond of $1,000. Yesterday
morning when the court convened and the
court cryer called for Crayton to come to
court the sheriff explained that, to all ap
pearances, the defendant had "skipped
his bail," which surmise proved to be tho
correct statement of the facts. The bonds
men, two farmers in Butler county, will
undoubtedly be compelled to pay the
amount of 1,000. Many in this city know
of the attempted burglary for which Cray
ton and Burnham, as accomplice, were ar
rested, it having occured about'a year ago.
Burnham will expect to be acquitted in
return for turning states evidence. Cray
ton haslnot yet been intercepted, accord
ing to tho latest reports.
PLYMOUTH COM.UKGATIONAI1 CHURCH.
Mrs. Anna Bergen, of Lyons, Kan., is in
the city, stopping with friends. She has
just returned from New York, where her
son was killed a short time ago. The
young man was 19 yeare old, engaged as
jockey, riding fast horses, in New York
state. The young man was run over by a
train, it is supposed, as he was found lying
on the track. There is a suspicion that he
was murdered. The deceased was quite
well-known in Wichita.
The high price all vegetables and small
fruits now command in the market should
admonish our farmers toipay more atten
tion to the cultivation of good gardens. In
speaking of this, an old settler here, a gro
ceryman, stated that at no time was the
amount of vegetables sold in this city ail
of home production. There is no good
reason why the Sedgwick county farmers
cannot raise enough vegetables and f ruit3
to supply the home market.
A sensational case occurred at Kansas
City on Monday in the circuit court, in
which one of the main factors was one
Frederick Blauw, who formerly lived in
the Schmeiser & Kassel block on South
Main street in this city. He had given
his child, a daughter, to the custody of a
charitable institution upon the death of
his wife. His mother-in-law asked or
custody of the young lady, which was re
fused by the court. Tho man is well
known here.
A gentleman in this city, who has had
considerable experience with la grippe and
has observed many instances where that
sickness prevailed, says that raw onions
forms the best preventative that can be
had against the ?a grippe, which has taken
the form of an epidemic. Tho best time
is just before meal to use the onions,
which should be cut, with salt and vine
gar. He knows of numerous cases where
it has been tried, and always with the best
results. After recovery from the sickness
it can also be used as a stimulant.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Desire and expectation anchored to a
possibility may encourrge such an effort
as will lead a forlorn hope on to victory.
But Wichita has passed the period where
thore is need to base our faith in her
future on possibilities; these are facts,
within and about to sustain a reasonable
assurance in tho future prosperity of this
city, and its supremacy as tho commercial
center, the metropolis, of south and west
ern Kansas, and the territories lying south
of us. Individuals may have cause
to feel discouraged in view-of their own
disappointment and adversity, and while
this is a fact to be deplored, in it there
is no just occasion to v feel discour
aged in reference to tho progress and
prosperity of Wichita, and it will not
much longer militate to the disadvantage
of this city.
The misrepresentation in, or encouraged
by other cities of Kansas, is a matter of
encouragement to us, evidencing on the
part of such cities a disappointed hope
based on an unreasonable expectation,
and that they have now an underlying
conviction that they are no longer compet
itors with Wichita in the race for position
and that Wichita's supremacy is now as
sured. It would be wise and politic for
all such cities to join hands with Wichita
and work harmoniously for tho good of
each and all. It is time to
recognize tho futility of any
jealous, ill willed flings at Wichita.
I state a fact which tho experience of
others corroborates; in showing strangers
who have never been here, or those who
have not been here for years, about the
city. They universally express themselves
as surprised to find everything here so far
exceeding their expectations, and they
leave the city with favorable impressions,
based an a knowledge of facts, and con
fident that it is only a question of time till
prosperity will once more abound in Kan
sas, ana in tnat prosperity lctita win
lead all other Kansas cities. There is
nothing in reference to our condition
which any citizen of Wichita need en
deavor to conceal. It is best to tell
straugers here, and those to whom we
write, the truth about the past wild spec
ulation and its effects. In the truth we
have nothiug to fear, for the truth testi
fies iu our favor. G. S. M.
To the Editor of the Eaeie.
Easter Sunday was observed by this
church with the usual solemn and beauti
ful service the occasion inspires. In the
morning Rev. S. F. Millikan discoursed on
the "Old and New Likeness of Christ."
His description of Christ as the Anointed
One, who is our King and Priest, was a very
forcible presentation. He also described
tho personal likeness of Christ as painted
by writers contemporaneous with the dis
ciples. This was Rev. Millikan's last ser
mon as pastor of this church and ho "goes
hence" with the good will and love of this
people with whom he has long and earnest
ly labored and formed many endearing and
sacred ties. The exercises of tho evening
were by the Sunday school, consisting of
Easter carols, songs and recitations. How
beautiful and impressive is the commemo
ration of Christ's resurrection by
little children. This "Man" who
"sDake as never man spake''
who broke the seals of the sepulchre and
waiKeu lorth m triumph over death.
This one, great in power yet, so meek
and lovely in spirit, said: "Suffer little
children to come unto Me, for such is the
Kingdom of Heaven." And to keep this
day in solemn festival, in the fullness of
the moon, with our temples of worship
ablaze with lights, our altars adorned with
lilies, hyacinths and sweet scented plants,
words of song and adoration floating on the
diapason of the organ notes, is inspiring
and soothincr beyond expression.
There is no festival occasion in the cal
endar of time, more impressive than this
Easter festival occasion. The infidel may
manipulate tho history and record, and
confuse tho mind iu doubts, but before the
subtle magic power of this "insurrection
mystery" he stands confounded, isolated,
and alone. As the child arising from sick
ness and suffering, unites in unbroken
sympathy, and trust the hearts of its
father and mother, so this Christ arising
from the tomb, with the emblem of his
suffering, unites tho world to God, and all
of us are better for having bowed our
hearts iu tribute, and worshipped, at tho
shrine of this "Resurrection Day." B.
Elihu Maupin, an old time and promi
nent farmer of Payne township, was in
town yesterday buying his seed for spring
planting. He has been in this county for
nineteen years and has seen his surround
ings develop and grow from a wild prairie
to a cultivated farming section. He never
finds fault with Kansas, but is content
and pleased with his home and his condi
tion. Mr. Maupin reports a largo acre
age in his locality being prepared for corn,
and that the soil is in fine condition.
The smallest deposit ever made in this
city, was that of Postmaster Jewett, who
yesterday placed 1 cent to a special account
of a Commanche county postmaster, in
the Wichita National bank, who in his
quarterly settlement last fall, was found
short this amount. The department will
be duly notified, of the credit made. The
second assistant postmaster general will
notify the auditor of the treasury, and in
turn will demand a receipt from the treas
urer of the United States at New York,
who will send this receipt in triplicate to
tho postmaster general, the treasurer
of the United States and the Commanche
county pastmaster. Great is the circum
location office.

Miss Mosse. Mr. Stewart is one of the
