OUU VISlTOKS. -As wns previously expectedand announced, a large number of Vinfield's leading citizens together with a large number of ladies, also, spent the day in "Wichita yesterday, arriving by the morning train nnd returning home on the 8 o'clock express. An accident happened to their engine on the way up. which held the party over an hour at a point some ten miles below the city. The entire party was esti mated at upwards of three hundred, a large proportion being business and professional gentlemen, Of the twenty or more who dur ing the day honored the Eagle with a call, all united in saying that Wiuiield is flourish ing, not only enjoying a solid growth, but expanding rapidly in papulation, in business and in wealth, consequently a very confident and serene feeling obtains with all her inter ests. Judge Torreuce and County Attorney Swartz, who speut an hour with us, admit that Winfield is not exactly a "Wichita yet, but is crowding our degree of prosperity in a most satisfactory manner. These gentlemen believe it would be to the mutual advantage of both cities if tho Wichita & Winfield rail road was constructed at an early day. The greater number of the gentlemen who comiosed the excursion wero accompanied by their wives and daughters. We have no doubt tho ladies noted the many line estab lishments in our city expressly devoted to tho interests, wants and demands of the fair sex. And we hope this will not be their last visit as they arc assured that for elegance and for novelties no establishments of any city in the west can excel those of Wich ita for latest styles or in satisfactory prices. Mr. J. E. Couklin, tho secretary of the board of trade, accompanied by his charming wife, honored the Eagle with a call. Ear lier in the day a number of gentlemen called in a bod', all of Whose names we attempted to get, and which we did get if tho following list proves to bo correct : Col. Whiting, J. II. Bullen, John Curns, Ed. J. Nelson, Capt. S. G. Garry, George Buckman, W. H. Tan. uer, Dr. Bull, W. R. Clark. W. A. Ritchie, A. J. Thompson, II. Silvers, Harry Viele,"W. B. Canton, J. Y. Short, J. M. Hurler, T. V. Lamport, AV. A. Lee and D. C. Young. 1HJHGL.AUIZKI) AND KOlIUED. A theif crawled into a window of It. L. Gillilans house, two miles south of tho Doug lass avenue depot, yesterday morning, and robbed John A. Frutig, a deaf mute, of all his hard-earned savings, while ho was cutting corn m a neiu near y. ine uuu twenty-one dollars and a watch and a satchel containing them. Mr. F. discovered his mis fortune when he came to his dinner. His clothes were scattered all around the room. He is all broken up over tho matter. Hang ing wouldn't bo any too good for the hound who would thus rob such a man. Yesterday tho thieves and till-tappers were out in force. In tho forenoon, about 11 o'clock, Mr. Wheelock noticed a young man sitting on a lounge in his store, and upon asking him what was wanted he replied, "Oh, nothing, 1 am only looking around." The proprietor went to the rear of his store, and when ho returned tho young man was gone, so was about twelve dollars from the money drawer. Tho observing young man had very evidently "looked around." About 1 o'clock iu the afternoon Lynch's store was robbed of almost $100. ' Near the same time an unsuccessful at tempt was madototap tho till at Swenzel & Douglas' drug store. In the evening two thieves crawled under 'tho counter of the West End drug store, while the proprietor was in the rear of the room, and had unscrewed tho lock of the money drawer v. hen they were discovered. They ran up River street and was lost sight of in the darkness. Till: CAMI mtu. Tho Grand Army ball and camp fire in Memorial hall last night was a most pleasant and enjoyable affair. The entertainment was given by Gar field Post G. A. R. No. 25, and was well attended by tho members, their families and friends. A camp-fire meal was served in tho lower hall, the bill of faro consisting of pork and beans, hard tack, beefsteak aud coffee, with pine board benches for seats, rough boards for a table, tin plates, spoons aud cups for eating and drinking utensils. Fully two hundred persons sat down to the table and seemed to relish this plain, but substantial diet that many times during those dark days of tho rebellion wouid have beon a luxury to tho boys in blue at tho front. Afterwards the younger members of the assembled guests came to the hall, which was very tastefully arranged and decorated, and to the music of Shaw's orchestra danced until a late hour. ANOTIIKR "NKW UUIIiDING. The roar foundation wall of tho building to bo erected upon the site of tho present Aldrich & Brown drug house, was com menced yesterday by Mr. Freeland. Tho plans of this magnificent structure, which will complete the block now under process of construction, was shown a reporter by the architects, Messrs. Kellogg & Son. It will bo of tho samo height aud similar design to the present almost complete part of the block, have a depth of a hundred feet and a frontage of twenty-live. The building will be pushed rapidly to completion, and add still another to the great number of tine business houses that have been recently erected iu this city. Tlin NEWSHOVS ANl HOOTHI..ACKS. The meeting, last evening, of the friends of tho newsboys and bootblacks aud indigent youth, the report of the committee on a permanent organization, which was substan tially as published, and a committee consist ing of Mrs. M. E. Leese and Mr. Chas. Jones and Prof. Pence was named ou rules and by laws by the chairman, Governor Glean, and after a pleasant and instructive interchange of views, observations and experiences con cerning the welfare of the indigent youths, tho following resolution was adopted: That we approve of the proposition to take theiudigent youths, bootblacks and news boys to the fair on Friday afternoon, leaving corner of Main and Douglas avenue at 1 :S0 o'clock shatp, by special car kind ry furnished bv the Wichita "Street Railway Co. 1'ICK POCKETS. Pickpockets do not thrive well in this city: already six are in durauce vile and awaiting trial for their light fingered manipulations. Tom McNamara vesterday afternoon bagged one man at tho fair grounds with his hand in the pocket of Mrs. M. C. Kinsman, of South Lawrence. A. search on the grounds after his arrest revealed 2.50. At the calaboase a dollar was found iu his hat and twenty eeuts in his sock. Clark took iti another of this same class and has him, too, in the city prison. A capture of two others was made on the Fort Scott train. They wero turned over to the sheriff and are now in the county jail. Keut Miller is laid up with malaria fever at his home on South Emporia avenue. THOUSANDS STRONG. The Attendance at the Fair Yesterday. A Thursday Fair Day Sure Enough. A. Fine Parade orHvc Stock With Exciting Races and a Good Time Generally Several Special Races Today In Which They Will Work for Blood. Yesterday was certainly a Thursday of the fair week. Everywhere one went on tho grounds it took an extra amount of elbowing and "excuse me, please," for disturbing the quietude of corns.; or slow progress would be made. It was a complete jam, a rush and a iam from tho early hours until G o'clock In the evening. It was thought that tho morn-1 ing trains brought more human freight to this city than on any previous day. It was also the universal opinion that never betoro in the history of the city was the country for miles nround so largely represented. The two contributors to a big crowd sending in so many representatives it was but natural to reason from the data that the crowd was the largest that was ever assembled in the city. a- n,i onvU- linnr nil manner of conveyan ces were bus;,- conveying people to nnd from the grounds. They were by no means equal to tho task. The road was always nneu w uu pedestrians who, by the way, had no soft snap of it when they struck tho dense cloud of dust on the west side. The favored many who succeeded in gaining a seat in a carriage also had a difficult task in getting through that uupleasant district. One gentleman who partakes of tho nature of au astronomer and geologist, after careful investigation, pronounced the dust ten feet deep from the lino where- tho ground should conunenco aud three times that thickness upwards from where the air should begin. The result of his examination may Avell bo taken with some latitude, but suffice it to say it was a little on tho dusty order in that particular neck of woods. After reaching the grounds no inconvenience was suffered from that source, as Mr. O. C. Daisy had been hired to visit the race track near the grand stand with a sprinkler. One of the entertaining features of the day was tho immense crowd. Tho number was variously estimated-. Some would say 2i,O0O, and others were equally confident in asserting that there were 30,000 present. The number of tickets sold places tho num ber near 21,000. This affords no accurate knowledge, however, as the season tickets and complimentaries wero largely distribut ed and there is reason for placing tho num ber above that. As was expected the pickpocketsgot in some of their work, and as good luck would have it the police got in some good work on them also. Three of tho slick-fingered tribe were caught at his profession, aud wero given a position whero they will not bo likely to disturb any very soon again. Some were heard say their purses had turned up missing at evening, but no large hauls were reported as having been made. The extra effort of the police and some detect ives who were ou the grouud, it is thought interfered with tho work of the crooks very materially. Between 9 and 10 o'clock there was a live stock procession around the speed ring. When a round had been made a halt was called in front of tho grand stand, affording tho crowd a chance to see tho kind of stock raised in this section. None were more sur prised to witness the sight than the strang ers. It was a little amusing to hear some of them express themselves on the subject. They had not been prepared to see any such an exhibition. It was a genuine picnic for the farmers to hear strangers emit their expressions of sur prise. They were finally led to conclude that Kansas was the baunor state for good stock in reality, and would soon become as famous for the same as for grasshoppers. No one doubted that the exhibit was not onlv highly commendable but simply immense. The morning hours were spent in looking at the exhibits. Those who had visited the fair every day did not complain of having another opportunity to pass around and profit by another look. To say that it seemed entertaining in the highest degree to all who had not seen them aud who could be pleased at seeing what Kansas soil could pro duce, is superfluous. Although hundreds of carriages we're al ways moving at various speeds around tho grounds by no means as many accidents oc curred as might well have been expected. There were a few sinashups, however, but they were so few that it may correctly be pronounced a lucky day. Mr. Garver who lives a few miles west of tho city had the mis fortune of having one hind wheel of his car riage smashed by tho encroachment of an other. No one was injured, however. Some other similar accidents are reported. The time for the races to begin was 2 o'clock. Long before that time the immense crowd had conunenced to arrange itself iu position to see the fun. The grand stand and its neighborhood did not af ford even standing room, inside of the speed ring Tho fence on the was lined with car- riages. On every high po-t was pinned a boy who was waiting, it might be said, en- thusiasticallj-. Every available siot and nook was occupied and still there was not room. Tho first race called was a trotting race of the2:13 class. The vibrating sound of the eon- was a welcome call. Under that class Mr. E.J. Jewett had entered Miunie' Pal - nier, Baraum, Dudly: and T. King, .Mable. The positions wero "assigned in the order named. There was no little difficulty ex - perienced in gettiug a start. The crowd was considered sufficient cause by some to take escaping them oy leaving ms s.o:eu uui., their position in the speed ring. This gave j however, in their possession.

It was too late, however, by that time for them to win, and Miunie Palmer came second with Dudly third. At the beginning of the third heat, Mable took the lead and held it against Dudly who proved her strong competitor. This created quite a favorable impression for her and helped to weaken the idea that she had won the.cond heat by accident. Tho fourth heat was looked forward to with interest If Mable should prove the winner she would get the race, which was very unexpected, at the end of the first heat. Soon after the heat was started she took her usual place and held it to the finish. The following shows the positions at the close of each heat: Minnie Palmer i Dudly Siii Mable 1 1 1 Time: 2:48, 2:54, 2:44 1-i, z: -. Th, irsft was $100. divided into four monies, Mable winning first 50. Minnie Palmer .?&", and Dudly SIS. The second race was a half-mile dash. Mr. Carleton entered Sorrel Dan: Joe Gill, Black Jake, and Made Hampton, Conny N. Tho purse was &Q divided into two monies, 30 and $20. This was the most exciting race of the day. Conny N took the lead from the start and held it to the end. Sorrel Dan was not over a foot behind her when they passed under the wire and Black Jake was scarcely a length behind. Ladies equestriauship was the next on the program. Misses Lillia Taylor, Rosensteil and Mrs. Khun wero tho contestants. First money, 10, was awarded Miss Ros enstlil, second, S3 to Mrs. Klum, and third, $3 to Miss Taylor. As the blue rfbbon was being tied to Mis? Rosentlil's hore the crowd gave a hearty cheer approving the decission of the judges. The contest for ladies driving single team was entered by Mesdames Williamson of Mulvane, Freeman aud Hatfield. Mrs. Free man won the blue ribbon. Mrs. Hatfiold second, and Mrs. Williamson third. The mone3 was 10 3 and 3, The next was running race the best two out of three. Henry Ward Beecher, Wichi ta, Newt, Billy and Dick were entered. Tho purse was S40 divided into focr monies, $20, 10, 80, and . SI Billy won first heat, with Beecher second. Newt third, and Dick fourth. Newt, won: second heat. This sent Beecher and Dick to tho stable aud left Billy and Newt to run the third heat, which was won easily by the latter. The following is a summary: Henry Ward Beecher W. Newt Billy ., Dick 2 dr 1 1 ,i o i dr Time: 1:39, 1:43. A special was arranged for a quarter mile dash. Con'ny'N, Cyclone and Black Jake were the entries. There was a dispute about -jho weight they were to carry, and consider able time was lost in getting it settled. When the race ended Conny N proved first, Cyclone second, and Black Jako third. Time: 25 seconds. At this moment of tho proceedings the proceedings tho donkeys were allowed an other trial. They belonged to Fisher, Ferris and Newman. It was rightly called tho slow burro race. Newman won tho ?3, and tho other took to the woods to rest over the sea son. Tho contest in gents' equestriauship brought out Jacob Burr, Newman aud New comb. The first named galloped away with the blue ribbon. This ended the attractions at the speed ring for the day. The races today are expected to be especi ally fine. The directors have made effort in getting up some special races, which will, it is thought, prove acceptable to the crowd. Arrangements have been made for a free for all run, in which Rich Strattom, Archie II. and Shamrock will participate. Thero will bo no jockeying, but will work for blood. There will be a free for all trot in which tho following entries have been made: Standard Bearor, Clifford, Lightbird, Mar quis and Slade. There will also be a free tor all race in which will figure AValter T, Banner Boy, B T and Frank R. All those snecial races are looked forward to with interest and was tho subject of no little dis cussion yesterday. The following is the program for today. 9:30 a.m. Parade on race track of all tho stock on the gronuds.- 10:00 a.m. Potato race for boys under 1-1. 10:30 a. m. Handsomest gent over 50. 11:00 a. in.

Marshal Bruner when the recent term of the U. S. court lecame the themo of conversa tion. The deputy and his two assistants, Messrs. Lundy and Inbody, who were near, ! related some interesting facn regarding the j principal prisoners aud country whence thoy came. It was Mr. iiruner wuo eueeieo. tne j capture of the members of the Wade gang, , He started from Fort Reno in pursuit of the j two Wade brothers and Frank Stier, a ! murderer. After following them into Lousi- j ana, and returning, into Arkansas finally ' capturing the two Uailes near asus lanoin in the latter state. He had traveled about 1 2,000 mites in the pursuit, going by wagon, stage, car, none, aim suuiunuius cnw... Kelly, the murder of Deputy Lyman was , also pursued by Mr. Bruner and a pose of seven men. Kelly succeeded in . sEOKe in ice UlCirSw te.1. j , 4 , injr taey- t.ere the staunche-st j l " "- Ul f .'"'"" I " . i -a i r i il. vAn rt-aTr1C !

For Simons, they had more compassion, saying that he wa? an orphan EStELSLS : ate men. His brother with three other men shot at a prominent chief; he was arrested and on the way to prison, at a mil itary post, he mysteriously disappeared, and to this day no one, apparently, knows whence he went. They have an opinion, however, that his body might have been found in the bottom of the Canadian. This tribe is industrious, and, having much property in cattle and horses, were the vic tims of the depredations of the Wade gang. They spent $3,000, the government records show, to breaking up their depredations. Their chief, John Brown, is an intelligent, shrewd, business man, owning much stock and property. When Mr. Bruner went to him for assistancD in his search, thirty men were immediately placed at his disposal, and to their assistance is due largely the break ing up of this noted band of border despera does. Several of the captured men have been sent to the state penucuwaij to servo out sentences of from one to three years. Now that the terror of their name has disappeared, many persons will no doubt "come from the woods'' and adding other in dictments to the still unexecuted, keep thorn caged imtil tamed and more adapted to the civilization-that may by that time be spread ing over their old haunts. Frank Stires and Tom Kelly aro still at liberty. Bill Wade failed to appear to take up his bond of $2,000 at tho last term of court, aud his bondsman, Mr. Whistler, was compelled to answer for him. His wife says he is dead, "but others are not of the same opinion" remarked one of the gentlemen. THE JEWISH NEW YEAR. ' Rabbi Gutmacher, of Cincinnati, Ohio, arrived in the city yesterday to celebrate with the Hebrews of the city their great holiday, tho Jewish new year, on the 30th of this month. Thero areabout thirty families of this religious denomination iu the city and includes some well known business men and citizens. The meeting to which a general invitation is extended will be held In the G. A. It. building, at 7 o'clock, ou the evening of the 29th inst. POLICE COURT. J. Lawton and F. Haley, in the midst of their enthusiasm over the .gnm'i fair, were taken in by the police and placed iu durance vile. Yesterday morning they appeared be fore his honor charged with being drunk, and were fined the usual amount. They lacked just enough to pay it ; execution was, however, suspended for a .few days to give them time to make the money or emigrate riRST ANNIVERSARY. Rev. II. W. George, of Topeka, will deliver he anniversary address of tho Y. M. C. A. at tho M. E. church next Monday evening. The speaker ol the occasion has an enviable reputation as au orator, and all who have the oleasure of hearincr will doubtless be pleased. W. T. Funk, manager of the Belle Plain opera house, was in the city yesterday. Bitting Brothers stopped work on their building yesterday as a result of the scarcity of gook brick. W. T. Hanu, commission merchant, Bello Plain, oldest auctioneer in Southern Kansas is iu the city. A large crowil greeted the "Two Orphaus" at the opera house last night. The play gave complete satisfaction. Judge Jewett, at his office yesterday afternoon nt 5 o'clock, married Mr. Houston II. Cain aud Miss Mary T. Furnish. Both of Valley Centre. Four boisterous young men discharged taeir revolvers as they passed from the no torious Iron-clad. Two aro under arrest. The others got ou their horses and rode away. John E. Hume, Esq., who was called to Hamilton, 0., a few days ago by a telegram amibuneiug the serious illness of his mother, has returned and anuouueed that his mother has much improved. Mr. J. P. Sterling, millwright and mill furnisher, of Winfield, who accompanied the excursion from that city yesterday, has the contract for the building of the big mills of Lewis, Dieffeubaugh & Co., heretofore men tioned in theso columns. Mr. Sterling says that Wichita is inspired by the kind of act ive life which satisfies liim. Tho Eagle's reporter of the United States District court, yesterday morning, in noting the sentence of death passed upon tho two Indians asserted that if carried out it would bo the first execution of that penalty ever occurring in the state of Kansas. That is a great mistake. The editor of this paper wit nessed such an execution. The o resent capi tal punishment abortion of a law was passed during Governor Harvey's administration. Col. W. F. Hunter, of Zanesville, O., ono of .the prominent railroad lawyers of central Ohio, arrived in tho city yesterday to look after some investments in real estate he made here a few montlis ago. He is uceompanil by AY. T. Morris, superintendent of the Zanesville, Bellaire and Cleveland railroad.
