A WORD WITH OUIt CITY AUTHORITIES.
A Very Grave and Important Matter.
i
A year ago last September an eminent
civil engineer called our attention to the
fact that it was his judgment that un
less a stop was put to the encroachments"
being made hy individuals on the Arkansas
river within tho limits of the city that the
inevitable result would be an overflowed
city and damages a thousand times g -eater
than an individual gain. The couticuid
filling up or the extending of the banks into
the principal channel would so hold or check
the flow of the main river during some June
rise as would pen up the waters of the Little
River, especially when the latter river
should be swollen by local rains, until the
waters were forced Pll over tho city. Act
ing upon this hint we put ourselves in com
munication with tho secretary of war who
has the supervision of the rivers and
harbors of the United States. Tho
honorable secretary thought tho matter ono
coming within the purview of our local au
thorities. As such enroachments ceased for
a time we said nothing through the Eagle
about tho matter. But we now learn that
ono of these fills or enroachments has been
sold for a large sum of money. And not
only that, but that other parties arc now go
ing forward with other like and further en
roachments. If one man can do it then every
man fronting on the river can do the same
thing. This cannot be permitted. A stop
must be put to this kind of enterprise imme
diately, even if it is necessary to tear out.
Tho government field notes give tho mean
dering of tho stream. At any rate no fur
ther enroachments should be permitted. If
the city council or city authorities nave no
power to protect the city in this matter wo
want to know it, and forthwith, so that the
proper authority can be evoked.

Sl'EOIAI, MEETING.
The city council held a special meeting
last night, convening at 7 o'clock. ihero
were present: His honor, Councilmen Healy.
Carev, Harris, Stone, Kichey, Allen ami
Kenyon. The question to be considered was
the ordinance submitted granting the right
of way to the Kansas Midland railroad into
he citv. The ordinance was read and gave
the company a chance to choose from Wich
ita, Water, Fourth, Washington, Hydraulic
and Kellogg streets. Several councilmen
were disposed to think that tho ordinance
as too freo with the streets and one only
should be asked for. The subject was given
considerable attention. Attorney 0. II.
Bentley represented the interests of tho com-
pany
Tho ordinance was finally submitted to the
ailroad committee with instructions to re-
port at the next regular meeting, which will
be next Monday night. This is giving that
committee some more business. The motor
lines mid tho Wichita and Western bond
question and the Kansas Mi iland ordinance
is booked to be reported on at the next meet-
GKTTINO READY FOR KUSINXSS.
Hon. W. M. Diguou, of Topeka. president
of tho Wichita Wholesale Furniture and
Carpet company, is in the city making ar
rangements to commence .vork on building

and says Wichita is much ahead of what he
expected. He also stated that several of the
prominent citizens of Topeka are anxious to
take stock iu the company, as are some of
the prominent eastern furniture men. Sir.
T. II. Glaskin, secretary of the company,
says they will be ready for business January
1, 157.
ENCOURAGING.
Mr. It. E. Morris, inventor of the Morris
'ype writer, has been in tho city for some
days but will leave tho last of this week on
his return to New Haven, where his machine
is being manufactured. He says the com
pany is now manufacturing the machine and
gett ing alone nicely. Near ton machines are
made each day and that rate will hi iu-
creascd as demand requires. Ho reports
sales good with the men in the field ami has
every reason to be encouraged with the out
look for his invention.
MONARCH 1ULL1AR1) HALL.
Mr. Howard Davis has rented the lower
story oi the Mycrs-Heiserman building on
"orth Main street for a billiard hall. He
ill call it the Monarch billiard hall aud
says ho means to make it the best there is iu
the state. He will have one room fitted up
as a parlor aud another -will Iks supplied
with the lending newspapers ami magonues
of the country aud set spftr; ns s. reading
room.
THK HOSB CARTS.
One of the new hoe ear&s arr ived over the
S.inta Fe yesterday aal was unloaded at ttoe
Douglas avenue crossing. The horses were
hitched to it and the cart given a trial upon
the streets.
It is from the Hose "slanmactorhig Co.,
Chicago, III, and bears the inscription. "B.
W. Aklrich. W F. D. No. I."' The other
which will soon arrive, is similar to the one
now roceived.
Mr. Rogers, te photographer, will leave
this morning for New Kiowa where he will
make arrangements for startiug anotkar
branch studio. He will probably be absent
from the citv some days.
ANOTHER PRESENT.
Mr. Robert C. Deam was yesterday the re
cipient of another valuable present It was
a gold pen and holder with lead pencil at
tachments. It was given to him by the em
ployees in the office of tho reglter of deeds,
and accompanied by the following letter:
Friend Robt. we, j-our co-laborers and
help ot this e&labiishnn-nt, those with txhom
you have labored through winters chilling
blasts and the scorching summer's sunshine,
mingle together and as a token of our ie
rpect and ettedm for you tender j-ou this
slight token of our appreciation of your
many virtues, among which ma' be classed
your urbanity, suavity, your courteous, kind
and obliging disposition, and as such we
"Deatn" it both titling and appropriate. Re
ceive this with our best wLsbes, and may you
wield this pen as with a sword to your pecu
niary success. This may bo termed helpers
impending crisis. Bon soli'.
A card bearing the following names was

Miss A. E. Wight, Miss W. L. Richardson,
Mrs. P. E. Parker, W. A. Caldwell, W. A.
Calborn, C. M. Benton, T. G. Parham, G. F.
Bearse.
THE PRIZE FIGHT.
A reporter last evening met a well built,
broad shouldered, athletic young man with
a prize fighter appearance and a not un
pleasant face. He was introduced as Billy
Flinn, the western champion who is soon to
engage in tho prizo fight somewhere in this
section.
"1 am from Denver,'1 said the young
pugilist, "and there had my first fight with
Billy Kelly, tho terror of Colorado at Jew
el's Park i years ago lGth of September. I
knocked him out, too, in tho sixth round.
The match here is not definitely arranged;
but I hope soon will be. At least there will
bo a fight before the holidays. I fight
strictly according to the Marquis Queens
bury s rules; and my forte is endurau'-e."
Ho is a pleasant spoken and agreeable
ycung man, but there is something that con
vinces tho persons with whom he talks that
he would not be a very pleasant competitor
to meet in a prize ring. ,
GREATIY SURPRISED.
Mr. M. J. Grady, of Wellington, Ohio, ar
rived in the city Saturday evening. He ha-
been register of deeds in his county for a
number of years, but is inclined to think that
the same office in this county is much more
remunerative than in his county. He, like
everyone else, admits that he is greatly sur
prised over the wonderful business activity
daily on exhibition in this city. Ho is fiec
to confess that ho never visited a town that
has got tho boom as uncompromisingly as
Wiihita. He is inclined to think that it nev
er intends to let up, but that a city of an
hundred thousand and still growing will be
Wichita before many years.
Tho most striking thimr that he admits of
being able to detect in the west in tho com
parison of the business transactions here with
the east One slow and the other always on
a rush seems to be one of tho striking char
acteristics.
Mr. Grady will probably continue his visit
here for some days.
FESTIVAL AND OYSiEP. SUPPER.
This evening the ladies of St Aloysius
church, who so successfully managed the
late Catholic fair at tho opera house, at
which over $4,000 was raised for the new
church, will conclude the raffle for the lot in
tho Academy addition and tho other articles
left over, iu the basement of thfi new church.
They will also have an oyster supper pre
pared for all who attend this, the hist night
of the most successful fair ever held in the
west All aro cordially invited to attend
this evening at 7 o'clock, and secure a chance
in the many beautiful articles which will be
disposed of.
.JUSTICE COURT.
'Jr. A. II. McCarison appeared before Jus-
tico Walker yesterday and on complaint a
warrant was issued for J. W. Freeman,
charged with assault. Tho latter is a beer
slinger operating on East Douglas avenue.
aud last Sunday tho complainant appeared
upon tho sceno as a customer: The row
started when pay time arrived and they had
a genuine old-fashioned rough and tumble
setto.
Freeland seems to have gained some idea
that he was wanted by au officer as he was
rather hard to find when wanted. At a late
hour last evening he had not been found but
he will prebably show up today.
IS COJI1NG.
Mr. Griffin received, a letter yesterday
from Capt. A. Bogardus stating that the cap
tain and his sou Eugene would be in AVichita
on Thanksgiving day for the purpose of giv
ing an exhibition shoot The captain has a
w orld-wide reputation as a marksman ami,
doubtless his exhibition will draw a large at
tendance. He will shoot one hundred birds
in five minutes with a rifle. Small rocks
rocks and marbles will be shot at, and, it is
claimed, will be hit.
POLICE COURT.
Joe Barlow and Johu Wickham for drunk
enness, were each fined ?.".
Johu Jenkin, Lillio Harris aud Jim T"il
son were violators of this liquor ordiuance
and were fined S'27 each. Jenkins left the

tutes and paid into the city treasury 10
each.

ler was heard yesterday morning, but the

ATTKJIPTEI) SUICIDE.
Mrs. Berry Takes .Morphine and Comes Xoar
Ending HcrLlfcat 313 North Water.
About 9:30 Sundav- evening a man hur
redly entered Dr. McBuruio's office, and told
him that a woman had just committed sui
cide on North Water street, and added that
he hardly bsheve 1 it necessary for the doc
tor to come as the woman was already past
medical aid. The doctor, taking up his elec
tric battery, went hastily to 343 North Water
street, the sceno of the trouble, fle found
tho woman lying on a bed, her extrem
ities rigid and cold, features fixed, eyo
balls roll up, aud apparently dead. The doc
tor, however, discovered a slight pulsaf.o i of
the heart and after apply a strong
current of electricity for about fifteen min
utes had the satisfaction of seeing his patient
sit up and able to tell the story of the at
tempted suijide. Sua said that about seven
months ago she married her second husband,
a man named Berry, at Carthage, Mo., her
own name being Clara Berry, and her age
2J. She and her husband lived very pleas
aut in Carthage aud several other places un
til about tw o months ago, when he left her.
She heard nothing moro of him, until a short
time ago ha wrote her from Wichita asking
her to coma here. She came here and put up
at the Kennedy house when sho was taken
sick. Her husband came to see her oace aud
prevailed upon her to give him tho only
money she had, ten dollars, promising to
support her. Having exhausted all her means
she went iu search of employment, aud of
her husband. Her effort for the first was
unsuccessful but she succeeded iu finding her
husband employed as a waiter at Gandolfo's
Saturday. She remiu led him of his prom
ise, but he turned from her. Sunday she re
turned and he refused to recognize her
or to have auythiug whatsoever
to do with her. Sho left him aud after wan
dering despondently around the streets went
iuto a drug store on Douglas avenue between
Lawrence and Topeka aud spent all the
money sha had, twenty-five cents, for mor
phine pills. She then got into a street-car
and while aboard took tho pills. Being
wrought up to a high degree of excitement
the poison did ;noc tako immediate eifect;
afterwards, however, she began to feel dizzy
alighted and wandering upon the streets
came to the boarding house at Ifi" North
Water. She asked to be permitted
to lie down as she was very weak
and faint. The request was granted, aud
the laudludy upon returning f - ora church
was surprised to see a lively commotion at
her house. The-ladies informed her that tho
new coiner l:a I grow weaker after her de
par .ure, and at last confessed that sho had
taken morphia, but beg-ed that a physician
be sent for. The unfortunate woman is now
much improved aud ablo to be around.
Mr. Gandolfo told" a reporter he had no
ono in his employ by the name of Berry. It
is said, however, the man goes sometimes
under an alias.
DR. McllRIDE'S WORK.
Dr. McBridc, tho London divine who for
two weeks has been engaged in an evaugeli
cal work at tho Central Christian church of
this city, expects to leave for tho east this
morning. He is a wouderfully earnest
speaker and his methods seem his own. His
anneals are direct to the individual con
science and judgment of each hearer, very-
direct and very forcible. On Sunday even
ing the church was crowded, tho aisles,
lobby and entrance being full of standing
people while many went away unablo to
gain an entrance. There cau be no doubt
of tho efficacy of sufh work as Dr. McBridc
has been doing, a work which will not only
last but prove a crown of unending joy.
JIOUSEHRKAKERS AGAIN.
The Stiles boarding hou-o on South To
peka avenue was robbed last Sunday night
between 7 aud 9 r 'clock iu the evening. The
thieves entered by the front door tmd appro
priated himself everything that suited then
fancy. They were much attached to Rev.
Sanders1 overcoat. He had paid 20 for it
the day before. The thieves succeeded in gain
ing an entrance to ono of the rooms and
took away- a number of articles with him.
There is no clue from which any informa
tion can be gained concerniug who is the
guilty party. Tho hou-e breaking scheme
seems to bo the ono most popular now-a-days
among the robbers. It is becoming rather
monotonous to some of the people, especially
those who are so unlucky as to fall victims
to the thieving bands. The authorities of
tho city are also being worked up over the
question and will try and spring some plan
to capture more than they have although
many are heard compliment them for their
success in capturing as many as they do.
HOUSE UP KGIiARIZED.
Last evening burglars entered the parlor
of Mr. O C. Daisy aud took with thorn ti
large marble card receiver, which contained
i number of articles of value. They opened
one of fhe bureau drawers and skirmished
around in it but failed to get $1."K) which was
deposited there.
There was no one at his residence at the
time except tho servant, who was in the
kiteheu. Mr. Daisy soon appeared anil
found that he had had visitors. He marched
through the different rooms in his residence
at a charge bayonet, but found no one. Ho
savs when he catches burglars in his house
the "meeting is out" aud there won't lie
enough "mops" in town to wipe up the
blood.
The burglars had no difficulty in entering
the front door, as it was not locked, but the
parlor door was unlockad by them. They
visited no other room aud evidently did not
remain long in the residence, but louger than
welcome.

SCHOOL BOAKD.
The school board held a special meeting last
evening at the city chamber. The city coun
cil was occupying the hall at the time ap
pointed for convening and the board was not
able to get at work untd near S o'clock.
There were present H. L. Taylor, J. "W. Win
gard, J. H. Allen. E. J. Brown, J. D. Cald
well and Mr. Slaven.
The report of tho superintendent of city
schools sprung the question of music which
it had been decided to introduce in the
schools. He had formed no definite idea as
to the plan to be pursued in making room for
that department. There was some discussion
concerning the proper method of teaching it
The committee on teachers and salaries re
ported that it had exployed Prof. "Walker to
take charge of tho music department The
professer was on hand aud told the board that
he was prepared to teach any method decid
ed upon by the board. The question of
method to be adopted was fiually deferred
for permanent action until the next meeting.
It was decided to give a teachers examina

caused quite a ripple in real estate business.
In the early hours it appeared that some of
the dealers in dirt gained that three
railroads, the Santa Fe, Frisco aud the Yv'ich
lta and Western have decided to have a
union freight depot at th.3 corner of fifth
avenue aud Kellogg street Tho FrUco will
reach that poiut by going down Fifth ave
nue. As a result of tho above Mr. William
Fletcher h;is decided to erect a brick building
near the union freight depot It will be four
stories high with a front of fifty feet and one
hundred aud twenty feet deep. When tho
building is completed it will be used by the
Wichita Wholesale Grocery company. If
material can bo secured at an early date
the building will be put up this fall. If any
delay is expjrieuced in getting material
work will be deterred uutill spring.
As a result of the above the few real estate
dealers who were ou to tho racket made good
use of it, as they term it, by buying property
that would be benefited. Near fifty lots
changed hands yesterday m that section.
