Lat night John B. Cary was invited to

The meeting turned to be a very pleasant
affair nnd will long be remembered by tho?e

had concluded to make him a present of a
gold watch and Mr. 31 W.Levy escorted the
captain to tbo Eaole office for the avowed
purpo-e of holding a consultation on -some
matters of groat importance to Wichita.
When Captain Cary arrived Farmer Doo

gold watches ever brought to Wichita. It is
ono of the very be-t Howard movemaats, in
a finely engraved gold case- 18 karats fine.
Oa the back are the monogram letters J. B.

Wichita, Kan , April loth. 1SS7.
Hon, .Tf.tin H Cereal
Dear Sir: We beg you to accept thin pres
ent as a token of our regard for yon as a
friend, a citizen nnd a faithful official. In
the ctrngple- and hard-hips that wo bave
all exi crieivcd and which aro incident to
frontier settlement- can be found strong
motives to make fiim allies and fiiendsof
thoi-o who together havo braved the daugm,
nnd end nnd the trials. Through nil these
years '(times to try men's soul:-) we have
evrr found you the same unflinching,
faithful friend whom wo delight
to hour. As a citizen of Wichita, onr own
Wichita, yeeterday a village, to-day a
city, wo need sny nothing lor you. Ihe his
tory of the business of Wichita is to a large
extent your history. In tho erection of
nngniflcent buildinge in this city which
demonstrate the faith of her people in tho
great things to come, you have been an im
portant actor. On the busiufssthoroghfarcs
nd in the rc-idence streets you have built
j'our own nionunientp, which not only prove
your own faith in Wichita and tho Great
Arkansas Valley, but which in
spires your fellow citizens with a
stionger faith in tho Queen City and the
reat new southwest. As an official of this
city no know thatyou have not looked to
your own ir terest, but to the welfare of all,
and we do not believe there is a single citi
zen hiving the welfare of the city at heart,
but would unite with us in this testimonial
of your worth. Wo feel, in thus recognizing
you, that we honor oui selves. We have all
b!on benefitted by your business integrity.
3'our omcnl puiity and your pitiiotic devo
tiou to Wichita.

J. M. Allon, P. V.Allen.
Captain Carey was completely takan by
surprise and after tak ug the watch and for
an mstHut viewing it he said: "My friends
and fellow citizens, when I came here this
evening I supposed it was to confer with you
iu ie?ard to the welfare of our city. I bad
heard that some railroad men were in the
city and thought it very pi obable that thi?
was to bo a meeting to in some way look
after our intorest as a citj'. I have never tried
to avoid doing my pai t to the beet of my
ability when our common interests were at
atnkt I came here with the expectation
that you would require wmo work of me
Now siuco this has coma so unexpected to
me, I cannot find words to express my fcel
iDg. This recognition from gentlemen
whom I prize so highly, is very gratify ing to
me. I will keep this and it will
causa kind remembrance of you. I do not
know hov. to tell you how
much I value this, but if some one were to
offer me a million dollurs for it I would uot
tike it (Cheor). I expjet to keep it as long
as I live, and unless I am drowned in th,e
ocean, where I will have no chance to make
my will, I will btqueath this to my children
with th injunction to over remember you
and Wichita. I am not certain that my ser
vices ns an official in this city has been of
great good. But I do know this,
that 1113- actions have always
governed by what my host judgment told me
was for the bst interest of Wichita. -Along
with Ma3'or Allon who is now present, I have
done a good amount of hard work for the
p-ople of thin city. And whether that work
has been a benefit to us as a city or not I can
sa3' this, that what I did has the approval of
1113' own conscience. While I live my best
etf'uts shall be directed for tho be.-t interest
of Wichita.
And now, gentlemen, again I thank yon,
and let me r.ssuie you that this is one of tLe
happiest moments of niy life.
At tho conclusion of Captain Care-'3 re
marks th- boA-s gathered wound him some
what after the fashion of a camp meeting
rovivnl. M. W. Levy taking the watch in
his hand got off a litt'o sentimental speech
which the reporter in the confusion failed to
get. Then the pam repaired Jo Gandolfo'.s
and were seat?d at a private tab'e and just
exactly what transpired there tin ecribo is
unable to relate, but he faw Gaudolfo scud
in a box of cigar.-, about, a slop bucket full of
saudwichev and che-'co and a basket of cham
paign. At a Into hour last night the musical
lnughs of N . V. Neiderl tnder, Joe AU-n and
Bill Gr&ene cnild le heard a long distance.

FORGES CAUGHT.
Mr. Thomas Dundon Forars Checks on C1U.
tens of This City.
It became known yesterday that Thomas
Dundon had forged a check on Mr. G. C
Strong for $34, payable at the Wichita Nation,
al bank.
He was arrested and brought before Justice
Wa'ker and waived all examination. He
tried for some time to get bail but failed and
was lodged in jail.
It seems that he forged moro than one
check. The first effort bore date of the
fourth of this month for the same amount,
and the job w as done iu so dexterous a hand
that the bank honore 1 it, The se;ond effort
was not so successful and led to an investiga
tion. It seems that he has forged a number of
checks on Mr. C. S. Caldwell also. One call
ed for 75 and another for 410, and under
tho circumstances more are expected.
He has been flooded with money
for some time and out of
employment. Those who know him fear
that a number of checks will appear.
Mr. Dundon camo to this city near to
years ago and for some time was abstractor
for Caldwell & Strong, on whom he forged
the checks. He was always pronounced a
good abstractor as long as he would let in
toxicants alone. He made man3' ti iends w ho
regret very much to hear of his action.
When he first came to the citr he was atten
tive to business and little given to drink, but
finally becamo acsociated with a class of fel
lows who "lushed" freely and succeeded in
drawing him fiom busmtss. When he got
into trouble the whisky soaks and joiutiste
who had received all his own money and all
he had gained through forge', seemed to be
interested enough to look around among res
pectable people and tried to induce them to
go his bail but did not seem willing to put
up themselves out of the money they had re
ceived from him. At a late hour lat night
no bail had been given. Mr. Dundon did not
seem alarmed or troubled over the situation.
K. A. SiAYIiES.
To the Editor of the EukI.
The death of so old and worthy a citizen
as M. A. Sayles should havo commanded a
more extended notice than was accorded in
the city papers. Mr. Sa3'ies was among the
first men who Bought homes in Wichita.
From the day ho came here until his death,
no one ever heard him utter a word which
was not full of faith as to the future of
Wichita. He was not a sensational real es
tato man. Those who did business with him
learned to trust him as they would their best
friend without being ostentatious. Mr. Sayles
was a helpful man to his fellows. No
worthy man ever went to him without re
ceiving assistance, either in money or good
counsel w hich latter in many cases in the
best charity. But Mr. Sayles would most
general- accompaii3 his advice with a giit
which would at once verify aud substantiate
it. Ho was unobtrusive iu life. He sought
no distinction in the way of office from his
fellow citizens; still he always manifested a
livel3' interest in overj- entei prise that prom
ised to advance the interests of his city.
Young poople will long remember Mr.
Sayles for his appreciation and reepect
for their feelings. Ho knew how to talk to,
mt-rest nnd instruct abo3 a rare facult3r.
In his dealings with men it is needless to Fay
he wa? invariably just. No man of the
many who haye put business in his hands
will rise up to say he did him injustice. This
ofiteelfii; a noblo eulogium. But getting
closer to the man, numerous instances of
private generosity within the writer's knowl
edge show him at all times to have been
full3 anako to his duties as a neighbor, ae a
husband and father. He was a model whom
all good ninthers iu Wichita will wish their
cons to copy after. H. L. Haykks.
THE C1HUTAUQUA.
Tho Chautauqua Circle met last evening
at tho residence of Mrs. Mulvey on North
Topeka avenue. The attendance was ver3
encouraging, showing that a majority of the
members took an interest in the work. At
the e'alling of the roll all responded with

THE LOST FOUND.
It ma- b remembered that about three
months ago mention was made of a fine gold
watch stolen from Fjrcy Johnsou at the
Manhattan. The watch and chain were yes
terday recovered fcr the young man through
the efforts of ofEcer Frank B racier.
Tho circumstances w, about as follows:
A few nights after Mr. Johnson lost his
watch Mr. and Mr Still Woodcock, of
Mulvano, occupied the room. Mrs. Wood
coak noticed a lump upon the bed which
upon investigation proved to be a gold
watch and chain. Th3" took the watch home
with tbem to Mulvans and several
times wrote to Mr. Rob-:t, the proprietor,
regarding thtir find. A fw daA-s ago while
in the city ilr. Wood:o;fc w speaking to
Officer Brauer and mentioned finding th
I
Mr. Johnson immediately and st out in j

ELKGAMT RESIDENCE-
Architect Alfred Gould his completed
plans for the elegant residence of Mr. J. Oak
Davidson which will ba ereitd on River
view avenue. Work has already commenced
on the foundation. It will be built mainly
of St. L'uis pressed brick, walls to be thir
teen inches thick to the top.
There is to be a great deal of stone about
it of a reddish hua to blend properly with
the biick. The mot striking par; of the de
sign is the portechere whicn stands out bold
ly on the northeast corner and di-plays a
master- hand ing on tho part of the archi
tect. Arches of mas-ivo stone, buttressed.
! likewise support a nedvy gtoae parapet and
copper covered canop- of adesigu bordering
on the Byrgantine, aud unlike anything wo
remember to have seen iu our eastern travel--.
The 6tone arches continue in front of the
main entrance forming a piazza, and sup
ported by massive polished granite columns.
The gable over the front entrance with its en
gaged slender column,itsdraper tvorkof stone
mo-iacaud its carving tastefully introduced
cairiedout the expectations raised by the
coi.6id ration of the rest of the design. On
the east the side entrance will havo stone
brackets and a stone balcony with carving
ot novel workmanship and the round tower
like bay on the south side running up into
the the third story to correspond with the
billiard hall in the no:th e.ab:o will, with its
bold shadow aud elegant proportion, make
that side no less interesting thun the others,
and can y out the general picturesqueness of
the building, obtained at this p-in , as at
the others, by tho proper grouping of masses
rather than b3' a fretful superabundance of
detail. A yard enclosed by a brick wall
skiits the kitchen arrangement from view
and under it lies a rain water cistern large
enough to keep au3- drop f 1 om being wasted
The interior of the house is m keeping
with tho exteiior. Tho hail and dining
100m as you enter nrd finished in
oak. Thi? was due as a proper recognition
of the owner himself. At the end of the
wall, near the fire place, will be a window
into the dining room with painted glass and
forming part of the desigu of both the wall
aud the diuiug room mantles, which will be
of oak and will reach tho ceiling, which is to
show lure beams with panels between. A
dado four feet high is to be carried around
these two rooms and up the spacious oakuu
stairs. Down the latter will stream the va
riegated hues from tho stained glass in the
lurge staircase wiudow to the polished green
w ood hall floor. The parlor will bo finished
in cheny, with a carved wooden mantel of
special design and reaching to the ceiling
where it will meet the ornamental coffered
work dul3r guilt and fres.'oed and all making
the most tuatof ul combination that can be
procuied.
Iu the library, to the left as 3'ou outer, will
be a stone mantel of Lake Superior ied sand
btoue, carved with foliage end allegoric
heads and reaching to the ceiling. Ihe
book cases will be built and
be finished according to detail
made b3' the architect, with the latest im
provements for portfolios, writing desks,
etc. The library will all be furnished in
birch. The china clo3et, between the kitchen
and dining room, the kitchen, laundry, aud
a chamber are all that remain on the first
floor to be mentioned.
The second floor is devoted to the sleeping
apartments which are airy, spacious and
well supplied with clCsets, which fact all
home papers will appreciate. The bath
room and nursery are available aud yet not
conspicuous, and tho terraces and balconies
at suitable points will make this floor partic
nlurly avai able summer evenings.
On tho third floor are the servant' sleeping
apartmentB and the billiard room, the latter
fifty-four feet long from north to south.
Iu the basement is the tm heating ap
paratus, the vegetable and wine cellar and
other conveniences. The doors through
out the building are all veneertd
to correspond with the finish in the d ffereut
rooms. Tho finish on the 3nd story is all of
gumwocd. There is steam heat throughout
aud direct everywhere. There will be French
plate glass in all the rooms aud eonnecuon
with patent inside sliding blinds. All the
inside details are laid out in tho very bpst
style.
We cannot bnt compliment koth tho own
er and the architect at the same time, hoping
that it may be the first of a long eeries that
will ornament before many 3-oarj cur hdnd
Boinest avenue.

FOLIOS COURT.
Ye-terday was a great day in the police
court. Shortly after his honor .appeared in
cour a large aud varied collection of the
most miserably fallen specimansof humanity
were brousht in. Tom sot the ball rolling
by introducing John Sullivan. "He wss
drunk last night," said the officer. There
was needed no further evidence than the
peisonal appearance of the namesake of
America's f worita to convince the judge of
thts fact "Three dollars and costs.'- John
had no money and so was committed.
Next came up four choice spirits whom
Officer Geo. Wachob had picked up oa East
Dou''hi3. Thev cave the names of Jack
Snyder, W. L. Pikj, John G-irvey and
Charles Smith. Snyder and Pike paid their
fine; the others were committed.
Then came Tom with another drunk,
Thomas Lee, who for want of five dollars
now rests in the cooler. He was followed by
Jap with Peter Jones, execution of whose
sentence, however was suspended. Joe
Stewart, not to be outdone, brought along
Peter Boyle, John Smith, Henry Jackson and
Peter Collins. Tho last Peter was the ouly
one of the gang who had the necessary $5:
his honor su-pended execution of tho sen
tence of the other three.
Even Jimni3- Cairnes could not refrain
from trotting in Joe Wright who was trot
ting along the street at a too livel3 gait.
Jap again bobbed up with Billy Jones aud
Heur3' Devrill, two violators of tho license
o-dinanco, Tom did likewise by charging
Nat Simminsou with as ault and batter3',und
F. A. Denier with peddling without license.
WOMAN'S WIIiES.
About a month ago a middle aged man
came to the city. He stopped at one of the
best private boarding houses and afterwards
formed a pai tuership for the transaction of
real estate business with two other men
Ho appeared a man of culture, of good
habits and of correct life, otten speaking
kindl3' aud tenderly of his wife, who, he
said, was in Leavenworth waiting until he
had found a houe to come to Wichita. She
wroto ver3r frequeuth- to him, requesting
sums of money nnd he sent it, even den3'ing
himself. Suddeury the letters ceased coming
and the man went to Leaven
worth to find that his wife
had eloped with a married man
leaving behind her child. He returned to
Wichita briuging tho little one a bright,
sweet little boy of four years and after
wards took him to relatives in Augusta
Tbo.wifenow wants her child and has been
making most strenuous efforts tosecuro him.
Tho father spirited the little fellow away
from Augusta aud has bean traveling over
the country to keep him from the clutches
aud embjssariea of the faithless wife. The hus
band returned to tho city a few days ago,
but refuses to toll where he has placed the
child. A suit for diorco will moot likely be
th next step taken.
A LITTLE M1XEO.
Mr. Caldwell, of tho recorder's office, has
been somewhat mixed as to his possessions in
the south part of the city,even in spita of the
fact that he is among the deeds and should
be perfectly familiar with the situation. A
few da sago he went down Market and com
ing to what he supposed were his lots in Eng
lish's seventh addition, ordered repairs made
upon tho premises He had a fence built
around the property, trees plauted out nnd
oats sown. Some time after the work was
done ho found that ho had put about $71
worth of repairs upon some other person's
propert3', nnd is now inviting tho considrate
public to kick him.
THE NEW COURT HOUsK SCUEMH.
The article in yesterday's issuo concerning
the scheme for evectiug a new court house,
created considerable comment upon the
streets and in business establishments. It
was generally a one side I question, as most
who were heard favored the scheme.
Col. H. W. Lewis piepared some petitions
asking the county commissioner to take im
mediate action for elhng the present court
house and erecting a new one. The petitions
will be set in circulation in a few days and
there seems to be no doubt but that they will
receive many names.
