The St. Louis Narrow-Gauge.

The subcommittee of the executive COM
mittee appointed by the NarrowGauge Rail-
road Convention at st. Louis, during the late
convention, which was charged with the duty
of issuing an address, have discharged that
duty. The address we find in the Trade Jour
nal and is very lengthy. Ii contains statistics
comparing the cost of construction and oper-
ating narrow and broad gauge roads, and rec
ommends that st. Louis put an engineer corps
in the field at once to survey one or more
routes 10 the western border of State. Three
millions of dollars is the sum stated as the cost
of three hundred miles Of road and of this
amount st. Louis is asked to subscribe one
million, and the people on the route agreed
upon one million, to be paid in cash, or mate
rial and work, at cash-such subscribers to
have the option of receiving stock or trans
portation certificates, redeemable in five equal
annual instalments, without interest. The
other million is to be raised by the sale of
bonds, which some believe can be sold at par
That refers to that portion of the line In Mis-
souri,. The above paper observes that "while
the times are indeed out of JOINT, and great
enterprises are retarded owing to 4 lack of
means, we have reason TO believe that the
business men OF this city will respond to the
suggestions of the committee, at least SO far
as to raise the money to complete the surveys
The counties through which the road passes
are expected to bear their proportion of the
expense of this enterprise, which is fully set
forth in the report. II beginning is once
made we have no fears but that the road will
in due time be pushed forward to compile

AN IMPORTANT ARRANGEMENT
Interesting to the Wheat Growers Of Ssdgwick
and Sumner Cnnutias


Following the suggestion CT the EAGLE las
week, that complaints were being made b!
wheat marketers as TO prices, and that adj
vantage was often taken by buyers and ship
pers, Mr.. c. f. Morse, General Superinten-
dent OF the Atchison. Topeka q Santa Fe rail
road, writes us that he appreciates the de-
sirableness that all parties interested should
be familiar with the markets, and that h,
would therefore each day furnish us with the
reports OF Kansas City aud ST. Louis prices.
Now, a. the freight is fixed by bushel anc
car load, it viii be a very simple matter for
each person having wheat 10 sell to know
just what margin is being deducted for cost OF
handling and cleaning by the elevators. We
understand from parties who ought to be
good Judges that five cents per bushel for
handling, risks, etc, is about fair price to
buyer and seller. In very short time now
large amounts of wheat will be offering upon
our streets by which time we will have daily
posted on our bulletin board the prices at st.
Louis and Kansas City. This we will do for
the EAGLES many farmer friends with
pleasure

Marrow Gauge Poetry.


During the late Narrow Gauge Convention
at st. Louis. the impression seemed to prevail
that it was an effort Of that city to gobble th
country. Thereupon Eugene Field of tn
Journal felicitously let himself out in the fol
lowing lines:
On yesterday, at early dawn,
A rural delegate forlorn,
Down from the Union Depot came,
And at the Planters writ his name
.sJohn Smith,
The clerk SAID, "whence, sir. do you come ?
81 live in Kansas. when to hum;
I'm here about this narrer-gauge,
An that's my name upon that page
John Smith"
Then Mr.. Smith meal did eat,
And sauntered out upon the street.
And men of every class and age
He tackled bout the narrow-gauge.
Did Smith.
They stared upon him, all forlorn,
With looks OF mingled fear and scorn.
ssCould he be mad, that he should 90
On this wild railroad project So
This Smith? 20
Smith wandered up and wandered down,
Inc length anu uTttutu VI itii to"hi
He heard no talk OF narrow-gauge,
He almost burst with pent-up rage
Poor Smith.
''Why, us in Kansas" argued he,
1--WE folks are as hot as hot can be
About the narrow-gauge, while here
They don't know nothing Of t, that's clear y
--i.'
All, Smith, my friend, you've yet to find
That city people amt that kind;
They let you rural ROSTERS wage
The war for every narrow-gauge:
Then, Smith,
IL you and your good people will:
Build up the road and pay the bill,
Provide the railroad, railroad ties.
The engines, cars OF proper size.
Friend Smith.
You'll find, when not debt Is owed
Upon your nobby little road,
The city folks will gladly take
The management thereof, and make
tpay.

A L,.tl. Epised. Of Lii. in w,shits.

The Kansas City Times, in its sensational
manner, gives the detsils OF an episode, the
principal parties to which. with one excep-
ton, are located in Wichita. A Mr.. John
Garrett, sober, respectable sort OF man,
who lives in that city, is represented as hav-
ing, some twenty years ago, deserted his wife
in Virginia and left for parts unknown. The
neither, in her wanderings with her children,
brought up In Wichita. She had successfully
raised family of children left to her. For
years she had thought her husband dead, but
learning of u man by that name being in Kan
sas City, she sent her son up to investigate,
which investigation resulted in the identifc a.
ton of the lost husband and father. 1t ap-
pears that Garrett had saved some money
which was In bank. His son made demands
in behalf OF his mother for one-half Of his
possession to cover the cost and expense of
re airing. A refusal was followed BY an at :
tempt to pounce on the money in the bank,
but the old man was little ahead OF his son
and the lawyers. Leading lawyers have been
retained upon both sides and the case prom

bic, quiet people. One OF The sons Is paint

John may be made to dlsgorge, as he has
wife living with him in Kansas City.

\ ride into the country last Friday after
noon delighted our senses. Crossing the big
bridge we turned southwest to L. +. Law
rence's place, then west TO ID S. Mouser's home,
thence southwest two miles to the school
house, thence west crossing the Ccwskm at
Campbell's place. On the west side of the
Cowskin we viewed the homes of Fardy,
Wright, Pope, Rogers Brothers, Lane, hold
ing up at w. c. Rozensteirs home where his
amiable and sweet daughter, Sarah, welcomed
us. Mr.. II. has fine place, which is also
true of his neighbors. All hands were busy
stacking wheat. 'Man made the town, God
made the country" Is the old saying, but our
observation is that man is putting in pretty
good lick on the country also. We noticed
but one poor field of corn in the entire trip
and that was poor only tor the want of prop
er work. The great pyramids OF wheat in
groups OF three to a dozen, doomed up in ev-
cry direction as far as the eye could reach.
These golden cones mean n cool hundred dol
lars each at least.

Obituary.

At his late residence. near Wichita, John
Charter Harvey, aged .fiity-eight years, Jour
months and four days,
The deceased was born in kentucky, on
| the 10Th day of March, 1919. In 1850 he
moved with his family to Illinois, and from
thence removed to Kansas in the fall OF 1919.
The day OF his death was the thirty-sixth an
niyersary of his marriage with his bereayed
companion who survives him. Three sons
and three daughters were given to the de-
parted, who were all assembled at the funeral
services on Saturday afternoon. This Is the
first death, the first dark shadow that has ial-
len upon this hitherto happy household. For
period of forty years be was an active men,
Der in the Regular Baptist Church. His be-
lief was more active than demonstratiye. He
emphasized the practice of the doctrines OF
Christianity more than the simple profession
of them. He was man of strict integrity IN
all his business transactions He was known
as friend to the poor and IS ever ready to
help those in distress, and, without doubt
in his last lingering sickness, he experinced
the promise of the Psalmest "Bessed Is he
that considereth the poor; the Lord will de-
liver him in time of trouble. The Lord VIII
preserve him and keep him alive; and he
shall be blessed upon earth. The Lord viii
strengthen him on the bed OF lanSuishing.
Thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness"
He was man whose fine traits OF character
could not be discerned on a short acqualnt-
ance, but those who knew him best learned
to love and respect him most. He had
most ardent affection for the members OF his
family, indeed, his mind was almost wrapped
I'D in their welfare. For many years, even
almost from childhood, he has been an IN
valid. He never expected to reach the age
he attained. In the bitter school of affiiction
be learned to acquire remarkable degree oil
patience. During his last painful and linger-
ing illness Of the last two months he was
heard to utter scarcely word of complaint.
In his conscious moments, during his last Ill
ness. he was almost constantly engaged in
PRAYER, and when the dread moment came he
who had suffered so much and SO long passed
away very gradually and without struggle.
His favorite hymn was
'.Brothers, while we sOjourn here.
Fight We must, but should not fear;
Foes we have, but cen friend,
One that loves us to the end;
Forward then, with courage go;
Long we shall not dwell below;
Soon the joyful news will come,
Child, your Father calls, come home !! "

Ono Of wichita's Unfortunstss.

Around the lives Of the poor, frail slaves o.
mans baser passions there often cluster TO
mances OF the purest sentiment. OF the
vast throng known as the "women VI the
town." from her who sweeps by in midday
brilliant with costly jewels and robed In ha.
biaments OF the richest texture to the trem
bling wreck that creeps from an alley in the
darkness of the night, or the brazen, bloatec
courtesan-keeper, each has locked up in hel
own bosom hearts history, the touching sad
ness of which often surpasses the written tray
edy Of books. Last week we were made &C.
quainted with leaf of the life of one OF these
unfortunates the recital Of which would prove
too dark for public prints. "Lizzie May" for
extreme dissoute habits, has been arrested
aud fined, often, OF late. Having nothing
with which to pay her fine the last time she
was brought up she was, almost in a nude
state, thrust into the unclean, close rat-hole
known as the city cooler. A prominent gen :
tleman OF this city, man holding high OFF,
cial position, becoming acquainted with the
details of the matter, determined in his own
own mind to make the city scoreh for the inhu
manity of its officers, il what he heard was
true. With that praiseworthy purpose in
view. be visited the lonely occupant OF the
ill-conditioned pen. From his lips we heard
the story alluded 10. So low down, so utter
ly lost to all morality, SO entirely destitute of
every sense of womanly feeling had she be-
come, that not until he had talked to her Tor
three hours in the kindiest and most persua-
siye manner could she be induced to reason
and reflect. Our readers can imagine his sur
prise upon discovering in the poor, dissolute,
half-nude creature, a woman of education,
possessing mind richly stored with classic
poetry, ancient history and modern literature,
a being who was loved and caressed in the re-
fined home OF her girihood, and who after
ward, in mature womanhood, wnen reyerses
had come, became teacher in a high-grade
school. When once the ice was broken, the
gentleman had comparatively
an easy time to persuade her to abandon the
terrible life she was leading. the miserable
depths of which were horrible, too much so
to even hint at. Procuring her clothes, which
from abject poverty she had been unable to
get from the laundry, railroa d ticket, little
money, and letter of introduction to the
the unfortunate creature was sent to
the Home at Leayenw orth, from which it Is
hoped she may come a saved woman, to bless
her benefactor and to cheer her fathers de-
Ginning years, for She is yet scarce twenty-five
and has a father living, whose name and resi-
dence she gave.
