The WEAIHER.-Thc storm centre yesterday
morning in the Upper Mississippi Valley
moved castcrly over the upper lakes into Canada
and is now approachingth st. Lawrence mouth.
1t is attended by great area of precipitation,
which. during yesterday forenoon, extended
from Manitoba to Florida and eastward to
Maine, but toward evening moved to the
northeastward and was followed by clear
Ing weather IN the South. Snow has
fallen on the western margin of the area
Of low barometer, with rapidly decreasing
temperature. Although the centre of lowest
pressure was in the lake district the area below
the mean extended to the Gulf, causing brisk
winds in Florida and along the Atlantic coast.
In Texas a ''norther prevailed as the high
barometer moved rapidly eastward toward the
Lower Mississippi Valley. On the lakes and in
The Northwest the winds were high and will
continue so during to-day. Threatening
weather may be expected along the Atlantic
coast, with southerly, shifting rapidly to
northwestcrly winds and very cold weather.
In New York and its vicinity today
the weather will be cloudy and rainy
and warm, followed toward evening by
falling temperature and decreasing cloudi-
moss and possibly light snow. Tomorrow the
weather will be colder and partly cloudy fol-
lowed by q decided fall Of temperature that will
endangcr the water pipes.

For the EAGLE.
Blsok Le9,
ELDRIDGE. February 10, IS

ELDRIDGE, February 10, 1877.
ED.EAGLE: am informed that good many
cattle are dying throughout the county with
Black Quarter or Black Leg. / have lost six
head with it during the winter, and have ex-
perimsnted considerable upon these lost. For
the benefit of brother farmers give my treat
ment: With the hand take up fold of the
skin on the right side OF the neck, about hal
way between the jaw and shoulders, and close
to the upper side OF the wind-pipe; cut cash
crosswse the neck an inch or more. Now
hold the wind-pipe down aud cut carefully
above it, and as close as possible, until the ar
terry is reached, which will depend upon the
lean or fat condition OF the subject, if calf it
would he from one-eighth to one-isurth OF an
inch. The artery will be recognized by its
blush color. Plunge needle into the artery
and take up small stitch, cut it of the nee
die, which will in most cases make an opening
large enough. The blood will run in a con-
tinual stream if not allowed to clot up. When
enough blood is drawn of, close up the artery
by pressing the wounded parts together. IL
the subject is a calf, take about one quart OF
blood; and if in an hour a decided improve
mcnt is noticed, l do nothing more; but if
little or no improvement is noticed, take an
other quart of blood. have never had to
bleed the third time. The older the brute
the more blood must be taken. The lance
could be used with less cruelty, but every far
mer or stock-grower is not the owner of such
an instrument.
II any one has a better method or treatment
please let us hear from you.

Coal Shaft.

ED. EAGLE Having heard so much about
the McCampbell coal shaft, thought would
90 out and see for myself. | was surprised |
had no idea what a great undertaking il was
and must say that it shows pluck and ability
in MeCampbell which should be accredited
did not get the details of the shaft as it was
Sunday and they were not at work. l would
like TO ask some questions concerning the en-
terprlse which more besides me perhaps
would like to knew. First what led McCamp-
bell to commence the shaft? What indications
had he that there was coal there? Believing
there is plenty of coal underlying this valley,
why not orl and see how deep toit But as
he has got the shaft down about 2G0 feet and
now asks loan of Sedgwick county to con-
tinue the work, which think is Just and right
and as citizen would like TO know the cost
per foot. the indications for coal. water, and
every thing pertaining to the shaft. this being
however, people will be more willing to aid.
Hoping that may get an answer t. this thro'
your columns, L remain

Water for the City-What q Physician Says
About 1t.

EDITOR EAGLE II made visit o! week
or two to your happy valley last summer, and
have since been a weekly reader ofthe EAGLE
in which recently noticed ONE reference to
the existence of scarlet fever and other seri-
Gus diseases in your community, and perceive
also that some are attributipg the cause OF the
sickness to the mill dam in the Little Arkan-
sas river. To my mind there are other causes
OF disease in your place which will eventually
become serious, if not already so. 1t is gen.
orally admitted, believe, that the supply OF
water obtained from wells in the valley of the
Arkansas comes from the water of the river,
the peculiar porous character of the soil adj
hitting of tree passage of water through it
from the river. This is true, without doubt,
but a soil that will admit the permeating Of
water through it thus freely will also admit
OF the free passage of water from the surface,
and, of course that water will carry with 1t
any substance it may chance 20 have taken up
and holds in solution, and thus all the refuse
matter cast out and dissolved by the heat and
moisture will be carried with the water after
every rain down to the general depository at
the general level OF the water, and again
brought back with the water taken from the
wells scattered over the city. The very ease
of obtaining water by digging wells or by
driving iron tubes down to the level of the
river, and by which an abundant supply of
water is obtained, is the source Of the great
damage to the nealth OF the city. We know
how readily water does hold in solution vege-
table and animal organic matter, which may
be the source and origin of serions disease,
from blood poisoning; and yet the water APP
pear to the eye and taste perfectly clear and
transparent OF course l don't pretend to
give any opinion as to the origin of the pre-
vaiiug scarlet lever and other sickness there
now; but | do say that the well water of
Wichita will eventually, if not already, be-
come the source of serious diseases from the
cause / refer to, aud that the only way to
avert it will be to adopt at once system OF
thorough sewerage, with the help OF a COM
petent engineer, to be carried out as fast
practicable and possibly resort to other
sources of supply of running water. If the
authorities of your young, vigorous and beau
tiful city are wise they will look seriously at
this matter, if they would prevent the occur
rance of epdemics, putrid fevers, dphtheria,
putrd sore Threats, etc. | give you these
thoughts and you can take them for what
they are worth, but believe the subject en-
titled to serious consideration by the citizens
