THAT OUTRAGE.

The hundred or more farmers who were
held on the west side Of the river, Tuesday
morning, by the fact OF the bridge floor be-
ing torn up Dug ht, after the refusal OF the
party in charge to do SO, TO have proceeded
in a body TO lay the plank back, and if in
terfered with by anybody, to have taken
such interferers by the nape OF the neck
and pitched them into the river. These
contractors had no right TO tear up the
floor, legally or morally, and they not only
violate their agreement, openly and def.
antly, but their boss had the effrontry tO
appear in the public prints criticising the
EAGLE because it demanded only what was
right. They not only violate their confrac,
by months Of time, but now repudiate their
own authorized notice that the bridge
would he closed on Sundays and Mondays
Their intimation that they have an under.

all bosh. Our prediction that men who
keep their word rs to the two days, has been
verified. Men with loaded teams, by the
dozen relying upon the published notice
were compelled to ford the river, with the
water running into their wagon boxes
damaging their loads OF grain, etc. Other.
were compelled to stay in town until th,
next day. Dozens OF farmers and bushes.
men called upon us TO protest against thii
outrage. AT one time We counted sixty
one teams waiting on the banks Of th,
river fearing to cross. Many did not at
tempt 1t, but left their teams and came oveI
TO town on foot. And all this comes righl
irthe June rise Of the river when the con
tractors and everybody knew that the wa
tiers would be high. The whole city and
county are indignant over this matter, and
with them we will endeavor to be with the

A STRANGE SPECTACLE.

A woman addressed a gathering Of men
and women In the open air on Sunday after
noon, in this city, on the subject OF temper
ance. In our judgment the cause OF home,
virtue, religion nor temperance will ever
be forwarded by women mounting dry
goods boxes al the corners OF public streets
on the Sabbath day, haranguing mixed
crowds. Nor do we believe that anybody
else thinks so, il we except that class OF
women who would like to be such as she is,
and that other class who pass for men, but
who are mere antiquated grannies in
brooches. From hasty glance at the speak.
er's face, as we drove by, we didn't doubt
her sincerity, but heaven help the homes OF
the chances Of that generation whose moth.
ers wives and daughters are only inspired
with n like sincerity. Such an exhibition
can but discredit any humanitarian cause
Those whom il would be desirable to reach
will answer with opprobrium or a sneer
such an exhibition. We know nothing
about the woman, whether she has home
husband and children, or not; but VIZ
know that IL she has n home 1t is neglect
ed ont aud IL a husband, and he not divorced
or dead, and he is in any sense a man. he il
not happy one. Some one remarked thai
she was a reformed actress. However thai
may be, there are few even unreformed ac
tresses possessed Of the necessary assurance
TO mount box, bare-headed, In the oper
street, with a signboard at her back, ant
talk to mixed crowd on any subject. W.
don't doubt that the woman was in deeI
earnest, but she ought to know that thos'
whom she can, by her presence or pow
ers, in such place, and on such an occa
sion, touch, are only those who already be
lieve As she does. Therefore wherefore tn
strange exhibition There is no place lik
home for the true womap-no other plac
where her influence can be so benignly, o
sopoweriully felt, all the masculine-female
of the world TO the contrary notwithstand
ing. II this is TO be fogy, then, happil
for our own notions Of propriety and de
eency, we shall die fogy.

The Judicial district being new, but little
is known OF the desires of the different
counties of the district, and it may be that
each county has different desires, different
candidates and different wishes as to who
shall be judge. There being no central or
ganization in the district, some means we
think ought to be inaugerated TO find out
what the desire of the public is, and with
n view to future action we suggest that on
the first day Of August the chairman OF the
different Republican central committees OF
the district meet at Eagle Hall, in Wichita,
for consultation and decision as to the fu-
