| The Wichita EAGLE, whose editor visited the
Eldorado coal hole, says it ''don believe the
discovery TO be an honest or genuine one, and
that II Is put up job. - Now let US hear from
| Bent.-To9ekd Commonwealth.
The editor of the EAGLE has not been with

| SIX years, and is no better qualified to judge
of The matter than a six year old South Sea
l.lanoer. We picked up a piece of "Osage
City Shaft Coal'' and showed ii to him while
| he was over, and he swore ii was better than
| Pennsylvania anthracite. Besides this. we
! told him that the Eldorado Cornet Band
would be around To serenade him. lie be-

and box of best HavaBas. The band did
not come, of course. and we have been drink
ing Anheuser aud smoking els airs for the past
week, at his expense In addition to this we
| gave him a straight :" mutton roast for yeni-
son, which he pronounced splendid, and
| with 'gamey" flavor Like enough the
''gamev" old sheep died OF the "scsb.'' No
wonder the editor of the EAGLE thinks every
thing in this world ''put up job" We for

The utter recklessnets OF the editor of the
Bobtail Timer is a matter of amazement-to
those who don't know him. II is news to us
that Elderado boasts 'brass band" or a
.'band" of any kind. if we except her "band
OF bGmmers," the chief of whom is the vice
president of the Bobtail; but ''brass,' ct
mule, ad ndusedum As for "venison," heay-
IN help the thin slices OF rusty Walnut VAL

the visit referred to. To the "Anheuser''ws
plead guilty. 1t 10 sad spectacle, that of q
mana brother-blindly snorting along year
after year without SO much as a drop of lnno-
cent murphy movement as flatus to the
| hiatus OF his heart and head. The sad effect
of our mistaken kindness Is only too evident
in the inceherent rawlings quoted above. To
forget is human, to forgive, divine. We do
both.
The uncle of the unfortunate girl, Sarah
Trueblood, who took her own life last week,
writes to Mayor Hope from Anderson, Indi-
ana, asking for information and particulars
of the sad affair The Mayor handed the let
ter TO the Beacon, in which paper it appe AIRED
yesterday. The EAGLE said last week that
rumors OF very damaging character were
anoat touching the past lie OF B. F. Whit
lock. The uncle Uses the following language:
''B. +. Whitlock stole Sarah from her pa
rents and took her out there. Sir, Whitlock
good woman and two small children in
old, and If she poisoned herself Whtlock is
her murderer" The letter states further
that whitlock served one term in the peni-
Tertiary. The uncle further says Whitloek
should swing to the first lamp post, and that
should he come back TO Indiana his hide
wouldn't hold shucks in twenty minutes
The foregoing is the substance of the letter
which in and of itself is terrible Indictment

thing, glowing with warm coiors and resplen-
dant with the most charming touches of the
artists genius. Falling water, SO difficult Of
representation, III this picture fairly laughs
and roars iii its descent. The other Is of the
still-aowing Danube, hemmed in by the rsck-
ribbed mountains whose tops are lost in the
azure blue thai eternay rests upon them, land
in the foreground the huge and leaning ruins
of an old castle that had been hewn from the
mountains solid rock. These two pictures
would make valuable ornameats for any home
