WASHINGTON, d. c.
Having associated ourselves in the Land Prac-
tice We are prepared to prosecute all claims to
lands arising under the pre- emption, homestead,
town site, timber culture and mining laws, or
any other laws relating to the public lands. Also
Indian claims. Parties having claims in contest
before the General Land Office, at Washington,
will fluid it to their interest TO consult us, we
give special attention to that kind of business
Patents procured at moderate charge. Those
employing us will receive prompt answers TO all
communications. Requests for information, as
to the condition OF the case, must be accompa-
MED by fee of ten dollars.
Ia presenting the above card to the people of
the frontier states, We beg to say the connection
is made With view to facilitate the adjustment of
all differences that may occur between the set
tiers and any of the Departments at Washington.
I he firm present through long experience a thor
uugh practical knowledge Of the minute intrica-
cies of the Washington Departments and well
the many requirements and greviences of the
frontier people, arising from the tardy and
Ger ain process of doing their business through
inexperienced agents, situated ut remote dis
lance from the direct departments and promise
the most speedy and successful termination TO
any business placed in their hand for adjustment.

What about additional school room? This
is question that must soon be met in BUSH
ness way by the tax payers of Wichita. For
the past two years We have, as people, shut
our eyes and argued to ourselves and fellow
citizens that being young and poor we would
just let the school arrangement slide along,
but that argument is not going to answer
much longer. The rising generation, the
future hope Of our country, who are no more
nor less than our own children, are crying, out
against policy that tends so much to their
disadvantage. What is best to be done we
don't pretend to say, but that something will
have TO be done is evident to every thinking
observant man, whether he has children or
not. We dread the tax, we dread an increase
of bonds, hut we dread ignorance much more
than either. We would like to hear from
those who think they have the required ex
perience or ability through the EAGLE.

From the chairman of the committee, S. n.
Wood, we are in receipt of an invitation ask
ing us to accompany the Legislature and
State officers to the mountains, on the sixth
of March. Courtesy compels us TO thank the
committee and through it the Legislature, but
We must beg leave to be excused. The indi-
vidual members, of body OF men SO vaciat-
Ing and uncertain in the aggregate, may be all
right, yet little and Insignificant as we are we
would rather not trust ourselves IN their
clutches. What if they should steal the train
or the railroad after they got out there, or
while enroute pass law to hang all editors.
What would become of the EAGLE? No,
gentlemen. you will have to excuse us.

Three Notorious DeSperadoS in Limbo.
The detective fierce Of the District during the
past winter have been actively engaged in fer
retfng out the authors of certain crimes not the
least OF which has been the tracing down Of GER
tain burglaries and capturing the guilty parties.
It Is class CT work that not only requires skill,
but considerable patience, and many is the time
that the oticer gets thrown from the trail by dis
couragement. Lately, however, the efforts Of the
detectives have been better rewarded, and none
more successfully than those Of Detectives
Coomes and Miller, who have applied themselves
faithfully TO certain work irtrusted to their care
and IN the solution have brought about pleasing
results TO all parties interested, excepting the
guilty ones, who, Of course cannot appreciate the
prospects Of lengthy prison life.
Tn the lIth Of last January the residence OF
EXC NC sEssMAN EBoN c. INGERsoLL,
No. 1908 X street northwest, was entered BY bur-
glars in the night and robbed Of silver and other
articles, amounting in all to $3.50 in value The
fact was reported st police headquarters, and
turned over TO Detectives Miller and Coomes for
investigation. The officers worked diligently in
the matter, and on Saturday arrested we'll

Perry, whom they took TO headquarters, where
he was fully Identified. They afterwards sue.

charge, when was the apprehension Of the p2r-
ties that enter ed and robbed the residence of Mr.

night OF the sth Of March last. On this Occasion
the thieves were Of 2 literary turn Of mind, and
contented themselves with about o pasEetfuI Of
books, which they got safely away with. The
detectives finally found their game. which proved
noted thief, and took him to headquarters, where

The quiet of the yard was disturbed at $40

fire from a large cylindrical stove used for heat

John Purcell, employed in breaking up the old

Saturday morning by being struck under one Of

from q chlsel he was using In cutting the head of

Quite an excitement was crested 10 the neigh
borhood of the navy yard gate about an hour
after the Ere. A small boy struck dog on the

stunned a. first, but he soon got on his feet and
commenced describing crcles, TO the edihcation Of
