The State AID Society hayc sent John Car
penter 200 bushels more Of seed potatoes to BE-
distributed at the next meeting Of the County
Aid Society.
Almost every village and hamlet in the Uni.
ted States displayed what bunting they had
on Monday, 10th, the occasion of the one hun
dredth anniversary OF the battles of Lcxing-
ton and Concord, the opening fights OF the
revolution. Wichita is the single exception
to the above sweeping assertion. Here the
only bunting we saw, hung out from pair OF
grasshopper-ridden trousers.
The fl nest looking potatoes we have seen
for many We ars were brought to our office last
week by Mr.. II. Baker. Either of the two va
rites, Jersey White Peachblows or Peerless,
left us, yield prodigiously. Mr.. Baker, last
year in Illinois. raised over two hundred BUSH
els to the acre of each. The samples left us
are of this crop. Mr.. Baker when removing
from Illinois TO SedgwicK county, brought
with him half car load of these potatoes for
seed, some OF which he planted, the balance
are left for sale at the commission house Of
Todd, English & Heath, in the Todd & Royal
brick store room, Main St.
The weather just past, slow, two days,
misty rain, was just the kind needed, and if
described in the prayers ofour best farmers,
the answer could not b ave more fully tailed
to the want. II the prospect was favorable
before what is it now? We have had no freez-
ing weather and just cold enough to do the
wheat good, to assure it, if nothing intervenes
between now and harvest. II last year was
our "off year, so far this is our con one."
Surely the prospect was never half so glad
dening nor have our farmers ever before, thus
far, had SO much reason for joy and expecta-
ton. We earnestly trust they will receive no
disappointment, as the crop promise now, all
kinds, if borne out TO the close will put us up
and ahead of all our back sets.
About four O'Clock Friday afternoon the fire
tocsin clamored aloud through the air and
the cry of fire was shouted hoarsly by excited
citizens. The alarm bell struck the third
ward and the two chemical engines, trucks
and ladders, shot out of their houses. cattered
over crossings and away toward the dense
column of smoke seen ascending in the vicini-
t. of the NJ. L. Church. Arrived there, it was
discovered that the hay stack OF W. G. Hobbs,
residing on Emporia avenue, had caught fire
by some unknown means, the last spark had
just been eStinguished leaving the dense col
umn OF wet smoke to draw the boys, who i'm
mediately returned, never spillng an ounce
of soda water, or soiling the brass mountings
of their pony engines.

The readers of the EAGLE will remember
that few weeks since Judge Campbell. upon
the submission of record evidence and sworn
testimony, granted an injunction against the
removal OF the county offices from their pres
ent location to the Occidental Block. His
opinion, covering the entire ground, was pub
lshcd in this paper at that time. The matter
came up for final hearing before his Honor
last week when the former decision was re-
versed and the injunction dissolved, or in the
words of the court, ''the demurrer to the ev.-
dence is sustained, and the case dismissed,
wi hout prejudice, at the plaintiffs cost" We
reckon this is the end OF the matter.

The spelling match of the Presbyterian So
ciety, held at Eagle Hall last Friday night was
potent argument in favor of a phonetic con-
gress. Il both spelled and pronounced for
one drought the entire evening. The UNI
pires who nursed the two recognized diction-
aries, unabridged, had as tedious time find
ing the words as the victims who waited the
order to SIT DOM, had spelling them. 1t was
something on this style spell "stove-pipe" if
missed it was referred to the dictionary hold
ers with the admonition, ait begins with an
s." Heaps of fun was had, everybody
wore an open countenance. A great many
exhibited a frightful amount of spelling book
craming for the occasion, and finally Miss
Clara Carpenter got away with handsome
copy of Will Cartoons ''Farm Ballads" as
the best speller, the one that stood up when
all the rest were quietly sitting down looking
at each other with large, earnest, wondering
eyes. We were not there or the above Farm
Ballads might havc-well we won't say, be-
cause We don't know.

Carabaraba The adopted son of the "Demon
of the Nile" gave one of his unique and unri-
vailed performances at Eagle Hall last night.
A fine audience greeted his first appearance
here, and his wonderful and amusing perform
ance was greeted with rapturous applause.
Carabaraba you are success, as many living
witnesses here a.c ready to testify. Those
who have not yet witnessed this wonderful
performance should not fail to attend. as to-
night is positively the last. Remember this
is no cheap show. Prof. st. Jean is the most
celebrated OF living manipulators of the ''Black
art" His reputation in the cities OF Europe
is as wide as any Of the celebrated actors OF
moder times. Eagle Hall tonight.

A reorganization of the Fire Department is
to be made at an early day. 1t will be diyid-
ed into three companies, one to handle the
hooks and ladders, and one each to take
charge of the two sulky engines. These COM
panies will be under the control OF their own
foreman, and the whole under control of a
chief engineer of the fire department, who
should be appointed at the next meeting of
the council, and who cannot according to our
law be an officer of the city government. We
will then have one of the most effective fire
departments and at less cost TO the city, than
any town in the state, OF our size and age.
True the bulk OF the expense so far has been
borne by the members Of the company VINO
have expended over two hundred dollars that
should have been paid by the city, until now
they have not dollar in the treasury. The
lack of interest manifested by citizens up to
this time has also been discouragiDg to the
members of the company who give their time
and money, with less property at stake than
others, who might, as they are now badly in
ueed Of many things necessary TO complete the
full working of their machinery such as
lamps etc., lend them a helping hand in the
way of contribution out Of which the donors
receive the greatest benefit. The city coun-
ci. should not hamper the fire department.
nor attempt to control it farther than as a BODY.
aside from their action as such. they have
no control over it. We hope this matter will
be fully settled and got In ship shape within
few weeks and the whole tremendously blend
ed with other excellent workings of our citv
government.

The spclling-class at the Upper
Presbyterian Church, met again last
Thursday night. The successful
>pcller was Miss Lizzie Lewis. It
was interesting as well as amusing to
watch the expression of anxiety and
pcrplcxity that played upon the faces
of the cgtestants when the hard
words cane. The spoilers all acquit-
ted themselves well, but when such
words as elccmosynary, and another
one, 4 Medical term came, no wonder
that ordinary spoilers should succumb
In the conclusion, an old fashioned
turning down class was formed, acer-
tain Medical man who knows how to
spell, event up" on a Medical term.
The class will meet again Thursday
night.

County CorRT-No LIcEySE.-The
County Court convened last Monday,
his Honor B. j. Redmond, presiding,
with justices Mason and Higgins,
Associates. This day was nearly all
taken up in considering the petitions
against license and hearing the argu-
mcnts on the same. The Court took
until Tuesday morning to consider
the matter. Tuesday they decided to
lay the question of granting license
over till the July tenn, when there
will be Il full Court, composed Of al!
the Justices of the county. The pc
r'ioners have thus gained 4 tempo
rary ,ictory over the saloons, so far
as licen> is concerned, but We doubt
if there wihbe any abatement in the
use of strong dink. As much liG'
uor will come into ulis county as cv'
er, and there will be as much drunk.
cnness and hundreds Of dollars Of
revenue lost to the State. As long as
the law lcgalizes the sale of liquor
tiruse ,rho-~ish to.vnsasv iit;ya5i'

them to do so. The right way is t.
prosecute all such upon their bond, il
the law is violated. That is oul
