Tremont Home i
Cuts. Brown, one of the burglars (aught
by the police at the Tremont house some
time ago, and who was held fi-r trial in the I
district court,was released on bail yesterday, j
Davo Seibert, Jim Crcigbton.and John Sul-1
lard and wife having gone bail fur hi ap
pearance.
This is one of tho most disgraceful acts
that have blackened tbo name of Wichita, a
bold notico to tt.o people of this city that
thieves and murderers cannot be puni.hed.
Somo timo ago Jim Creighton and his
brother were charged by officers hero with
having been connected with burglars in
other places themselves, and many hinted
that Jim Creighton was the planner of the
burglaries committed In this city, and
his present action gives strong
color to this view of tho matter, but what
about the other bailees, aro they in the
gang! It looks lliat way. .ao ono ever
suspected that John Sullard was connected
in any way with thieves. Is it possiblo that
be and his wife and Davo Seibert are in the
gang: These men were caugni in mo very
act and the polico declare they can bo con
victed. The citizens of Wichita should rise
up and demand an investigation of this mat
ler, and if these parties arc found to bo con
nected with a gang of thieves they should be
dealt with accordingly. Is this man a rela
tive of any of them! It appears not. Then
is it not reasonable to suppose that they
were anxious to get him away le-t ho might

THE POET'S CORNER.

No place or corner east or west,
Or spot for me that I like best.
Like some snug place for me to rest.
In my quiet poet's comer.
When l'vo been round about the town.
And seeing Jack, and Tom, and Brown;
I soon wsg home and sit me down
In my peacful pool's corner.
When stormy clouds my life o'ercast,
Of ills to come, or Ills that's put,
I find a pleasant placo at last
In my happy poet's corner.
I love to see all nature gay,
And (lowers their beauty long display,
To view their colors every day
From my pleasant poet's corner.
Oh! would good printers bo so kind,
A place for poet's always find
And in his paper be inclined
To have a poet's corner?
lie sure would be a happy wight, ,
Would pass his days in much delight.
And sleep so good and sweet at night
If he had a poet's corner.
Folks in tho country and the town "
Would tako his paper; send it round;
Search for a song sura to be found
In the inside poet's corner.

THE THIEF BROUGHT BACK
Sheriff Fisher arrived home yesUrday
morning from Chicago with his prisoner,
John Cobs, who it is alleged got away with
$600 at the Star laundry in this city some
time ago. He declares that he didn't get
$600, only $o55 and three Canadian quar
ters, and Is quite indignant at being over
charged in the matter. The sheriff left an
other man in charge of him a while in To
peka and he got away and hid in a shock of
corn, where he was finally caught by the
sheriff. Mr. Fisher says he got him by the
leg in tho corn shock and felt pretty good
over it.
Ho thinks the fellow's brother, who lives
in Chicago, has most of the money.
The sheriff says the prisoner will plead
guilty, though he probably will kick on the
exact amount, but then that wont make
much difference. John says he would like
to have tho job of taking him to the pen to
as to help to get even on the election busi

THIEVES MUST CO.
In its city edition the Eaolk yesterday
morning set forth a matter touching a very
vital Interest of the city, involving no less
than tbi construction of the Wichita & Col
orado railway. As no practical way could
be seen out of the dllBcalty, a meeting of
business men was not only suggested bat
urged. The trouble in a nut-shell was and
Is that the right of war had been estimated
at very materially less figures than thoso re
turned by the condemning board. The es
timate upon which the contract for building
the road.was based on a condemnation made
but a few months since over practically the
same route. The figures were to startlingly
at variance with the best judgment of those
concerned, and with the old condemnation,
that the construction company refused to go
on with the work. A meeting was held
which, though not so largely attended, was
a representative one. Two ways were sug-
cested out of the dilemma. One was lor a
committee to confer with the owners of the
property already condemned, and the other
the raising of a subscription for a bridge
at the upper end of tho city
near the fair grounds, which would
enable the road to go out over
a different lime on one which it is said tho
right of way would bo largely donated. Mr.
Skinner, the chairman of the meeting, ap
pointed CapL White, CapL Smyth, P. V.
Healey, A. K. Dodge and G. G. Mathews as
the first cnnmittee, and N. A English, W.
A, Thomas, Geo. Rouse, Geo. B. Black
welder and Mayor Aldrlch as the latter com
mittee. Both committees were requested to
go to work Immediately and to rep' -t
the earliest possible hour. It was s led
that the raising of ten thousand dollars (or
a bridge at the upper end cf the city was
thought to be cquivolent to a reduction of
fifty per cent on the right of way as return
ed for tho first six miles. That is, cither
would enable the Wichita men who repre
sent the line, to make good their promise of
an average of $800 per mile as above referr
ed to, and which as we stated, was based on
a previous condemnation mari but a few
months since. Both committees went earn
estly to work. The one on the right of
way succeeded in getting only a reduction
of about two thousand dollars on the figures
returned by the condemnation board or on
the $17,000 awarded for the first six miles.
The other committee raised in two hours
$14,000 and from very few men. Mr. Daisy
who accompanied the committee, said in
two hours more it could have been doubled
by large property holders at the north end.

men who subscribed, and tho amounts:

Marshal J m Cairns Talks From the Shoulder.
An F IOLK reporter met Marshal Cairns
yestcsday, who, in answer to a question
said: "Yes, I saw your article in the Eaole
yesterday in reference to bailing that burg
lar out of jail, an J I guess you are onto the
right racket, Ever since these fellows were
caught at the Tremont, the burglars bare
all been away from tbe city, but now they
are returning and will all be here in a day or
two, when they expect to organize a series of
jobs in all of the towns ior forty or fifty
miles around. This man, who was released
on bail, was needed to do work and he had
to be released. Of course the gang will put
up the bail when he skips out. I don't
think John Sullard is connected with the
gang, but since he has been busted up in
his business he has a sort of hatred of law
and was, unsuspectingly, led into going this
fellow s bail.
"It has been a hard job to bag
any of these fellows with tho chances wo
have, but I have been perfecting a plan by
which I can rake somo of them in it tbey at
tempt any job here. I am onto nearly all
of them except when a new crowd comes in,
which is often, but the trouble is to catch
any of them in tbe act, to fasten tbi guilt
upon them. Tbey seem to have two or
three headquarters, or bases of operation; I
don't mean two in this city, but t ro or
three in the state, and they change off gangs
when they become too well known; so tbat
it is not so easy as one might suspect to
catch them; but I promise you that things
are so fixed that if they do any work here
there will be lively timer. It would be well
for you to warn the surrounding towns to be
on tbe lookout, for the gang is gathering
here to make arrangements for a raid. I am
getting things in tbape so tbat I can make it
so hot for some of them tbat this city will
be rid of their presence."
. Tbe reporter during tbe day learned from
a private source that a detective has follow
ed some of the gang here and will follow
them until they aro caught to rights. The
gentleman who contributed this informa
tion requested tbe reporter not to "give it
away," but tbe scribe is a dreadful poor
band at keeping secrets when the people are
thirsting for news.
The proprietor of tbe building on the
southeast corner of Main and First street,
occupied by Gandolfo's restaurant, Is un
dergoing considerable repairs. Tbe corner
of the wall will be cut out a plate glasss
front will be put in. The transformation of
tbe building will make a great improve
ment.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon one
thing was made very clear, and that was
that a very large majority were very en
thusiastically In favor of the uper end
bridge proposition for tbe shops on this
sido. Wo thought that the raising of ten
thousands dollars almost a hopeless task.
but fourteen thousand was raised inside of
two hours for the up town proposition.
During tbe whole forenoon yesterday
people couldn't bo hired to talk anything
but railroad. Tbe excitement ran as high
as when tbe presidential election returns
were coming in. Every one bad a plan to
suggest and there is but little doubt tbat if
a petition had been circulated then $20,000
could be raised in a very short time to have
tbe road begin work, let the route be in any
possible direction as far as getting outside
the city was concerned. The reason the at
tendance was not great at the meeting in tbe
afternoon -was a suflcient notice was not
given. Probably not One-halt of the people
knevof its being held.

We must admit, and frankly, that we are
opposed to anything like a sectional or re
taliatory fight. We want to see the road go
from West Wichita, or the Fifth ward,
where tbe company desire to go from. Wo
want to see the machine shops, tho packing
houses, and the cattle yards, etc., etc, on
the west side of tho river where
they naturally belong, and we sincerely hope
tbat the people of that ward and that ths
property holders of Delano township, who
were called upon for no aid, will see it to
their interest to take hold of the matter in
such a way as to get tho necessary reduc
tion, and that speedily immediately. Of
course we can not urge, or even suggest,
that men who are willing to subscribe for
one scheme should also subscribe for the
other. We only appreciate most keenly the
value of time and the possibility of render
ing null the hard, perplexing work of many
months.
Wichita has never failed in the past, and
she surely will not fail in this instance,
where the prize is within such easy grasp.
It is but proper to say tbat Chief Engineer
Woods will put on his corps to-day to test
the feasibility of running out from tho north
end of the town instead of from tbe Fifth
ward. The line will be run from the upper
end of Wichita street across to tbe corner of
Park township and to the center of that
township, where it strikes the present sur
vey at township 18.

A Mystery UnvdleJ.
For the past two years a certain
business man who styles himself "Post the
Pawnbroker," has been getting diamonds,
watches, jewelry, etc., and selling them for
a mere song, as it were. Ho has sold fine
solid gold Howard watches for seventy-five
dollars tbat tbe jewelers say were worth one
hundred and seventy-five dollars. He has
even been known, when business was a lit
tle dull, to sell solid gold watches, and in
fact, every thirg in tbe Jewelry line, for
about one-half its actual value and some
times even leu than tbat, and the strangest
part of it all is, ha never runs out of goods.
Large boxes filled with goods come to him
by express. Where they come from no one
knows save himself, and no one so far has
been able to find out bow he gets so many
good goods, so tbat be can sell tbcm tor so
much less than they are worth. It has puz
zled other dealers in jewelry so much that
some have gone so far as to say that they
believed he did not get them honestly. But
the writer of this article, being a warm
friend of Mr. Post, and knowing him to be
a man of honcr, resolved to interview bim,
which fa did, and interrogated him as fol
lows! "Mr. Post, you have been selling watches,
diamonds and jewelry for the last two years
here in Wichita, all of which have proven
to be first-class goods and always just as you
represent them; you have been selling these
goods so very low and giving such wonder
ful good bargains that it has excited the sus
picion of some. And there are many re
marks and suggestions made in regard to
how you get so many of these goods, and get
them so you can sell tbem for so much less
than they are worth. People will not be
lieve that you get them all 'pawned to you
here."
"Well, sir, you may say to my inquiring
friends, if you please, that I have a great
many watches, diamonds, etc., pawned and
(old to me right here in Wichita; but not
onehalf assnany asIselL Most of my sec
ond hand watches and diamonds, and in fact
my beat bargains, come from my brother
pawnbroker's establishment (which is a very
large one) in New York. Then I am also
enabled to buy new goods at a great reduc
tion through another brother in the east en
gaged in the manufacturing business.'
"Well, Mr. Post, why have you not made
this known to the people of Wichita be
fore?" "Just simply because such talk is looked
upon ky the majority of the people as an
advertising dodge, and I think the best way
to advertise is to let people know jurt what
I hare in as plain a way as possible. Then
give then as good, bargains at I advertise,
and 1 fad confdeat or sacceu.'' The Arrow,-

which grow in dark cellars where potatoes
have boon Isft durlnz the summer, in
sualfrbt ii requisite to davolop th coloring
mailer or plants and to develop souna ana
lienltby growth. Children and young girls
reared in darkened rooms are pala, flabby,
aud unhealthy, somewhat resembllns the
potato sprouts which grow in the dark. Th
more 'sunlight a plant has ths more vigor
ous healthy atil strong it becomes.
l'lanU which are partly shut out from th
kunlljkt, or beneath tbo deep shade of trees,
or within hs shade cf build Ing. make but
a feoblo and sickly growth. Even fruit
whtci ii shut out from tho direct rays of the
un is ptlu in color, and is not so One in fla
vor n that which i exposal to th rays of
th sun. 1 La reddest apples are those grown
in tho full blaza of the twilight, and the
children which have tbo reddest cheeks and
Ui tMalthiest bodiei are thoso reared ont
dou in thu sunshine.
LSITEMED BV TUB ANCIENTS.
Ton ancieuU highly esteemed the sunlight
at rouluciVa to hoalc'j It i related by
Plutarch that when He youthicl Alexander
ititad Diogenes at Corinth ha found the
'u'lioiii philosopher lytn; tranquilly in th
-tin Th) warrior kindly saluted bim and
a kot iC he could do anything for him.
'Only stand a little out ot my sunshine,"
replied Diigeoei. Diogenes was then three
fCot,s and ton, and age made the sunshine
ilouUr dear to him. According to Pliny, it
wt a comuiou practice in Greece for old
mj to recruit their ensrgiei both mental
and physical, by exposing themselves nakel
in tlw sun. llippacratei racoxnuttl
cognlxai the reviving effocts uf warmth
and sunlight on tbo agaJ by saying, "Oil
man ara double tbeir aje in winter and
youugjr in summer."
The old Roniam osteamed the sunshine.
Pliny, th elder, employed his leisure hours
aftor dinner in summer lying in tbe Sun.
Pliny, tbe younger, at both his country
oat, had gardens thickly borderei with
holges, when he coull walk completely
nu lo, Inu exposing nls wuola body to tn
blaza of tbe sun. Love of suushlne was a
marked trait cf the old Romans, Nearly
all the dwellings were prnvidal on tbe roofs
or toutbera waits with balconies or ter
race', wiiere tho occupant, sitting or re
clining could sun themselves all they
w ioX Such u of the sunshlna is con
ducive to the preservation of ths health.
ESSENTIAL TO DEVELOPMENT.
Tbo value of light in tbo development ot
animal organisms was shown by oxperi
u.onti of Dr. W. F. Edwards, made many
years ago in Franco. Ha found that frogs'
e(s placed in tho dark were preventel
from developing, and that a tad polo kept in
a dark place, although it attained a largo
size, did not change its form. Dr. Hammond
c.-ufirtmd thii result, as he found that while
kapt in darkness tho transformation of ths
tadpolo was indsCnltely postponed, but
when brought to tbo light it becam
a frog in a few day. Something of the
sauia effect is produced upon the human
ra-e when deprive! of sunlight. Dr.
Forbes Window says: "Tbe total exclusion
of tbe sun's beams induces an impoverished
date ot tbe blood, muscular debility, drop
ileal effusion, softening ot the bonos, nerv
out excitability, irritability of tbe heart,
Ixi of appetite, consuupticn, physical de
formity, stunted growth, mental impair
ment, premature old ae. The offspring ot
thoje so unhappily trainad ara often de
formed, weak, and puny, and are disposed
to scrofuloui affections,"
Thus it will ba sean that a full supply ot
'Utilight is needed to secure full develop
nvut ot our physical organization. An
other writsr says: "Care should bo token
loth in health anl dUsa-e to imuro snffl
oio.it amount of light, an 1 it is impossible to
rear well-foriueJ, strong, and robust chil
dren unls attention is paid to this requira
mont. Sun-baths or apartment in which
tbe solar rajs can fall upon the nakel body,
ara highly advantageoui to health, and
room for this purpose could easily be con
structel in most of our city houses. Lat m
ttiea.tome the dying words nf Goethe,
have "more light."'
SUNLIGHT CCBES DI.-EASE.
A meant English writer says: "Toe di
rect rays ot the sun are great remedial and
preventative agents hi certain diseases, such
ai tcrofala, phthbi, rickets eta" Dr.
Warren says: "Seclusion fromsunsbina is
oajottho mlstortunat of our civilizad life.
Tuo same caues which make ths potato
villa i white and sickly when grown in dark
collars, operate to produca the pale, sickly
girls that are reared in our parlors Ex

"I directed him to lie down under a large

is u ed by the whole family, tho Fervauts of

ous of participating. A hnge log tiro Is lit
on a hearth In the room, and when the
bricks or stones are red hot sold water is
Inured nu them, which soon fills the room
with steam. When all is ready the bathers
gather, of both sexes and all ages, simply tn
the state t.i which we ara told our first pro
gnnitors disported themselves, and this even
if tbe meronry Is frosen to a lump In the

IV'lwn the room It full fresh water is

In our Hat and Cap department can be found all the Latest Styles and Shapes. We claim the
Best Made, Best Fitting and Most Stylish Garments known
To the Trade. Why? From the fact that we buy moat largely, direct from the manufacturers who
we believe have the beet cutters in America; who employ strictly First-class Tailors, and whohavts
obligated themselves to sell their goods to no other house in this section of country. "We can and
will give you better goods for le s money than any house in the city no exceptions. Why? From the
fact that our long experience has enabled us to familiarize ourselves with the oost of manufacture, ar.i
our personal acquaintance and friendship with the manufacturers themselves enables us to bnv
cheaper, and we are satisfied with a small profit, as we are a new firm, and clearly realize the fact that
Good G-oods and Low Prices are the Winning Cards
To secure a permanent and satisfactory trade. The good people of Wichita and surrounding country
have given us a liberal patronage, for which we are very grateful, and we arust ijey will continue to
