SWEEPING MEASURE.

Judge Peters has introduced into the
house the most radical, positive and I'm.
qualified bill for the regulation Of labor,
transportation and transmission question
that has, we believe, yet been presented to
Congress. No Democratic member has
prepared so sweeping measure to control
interstate commerce, and while 1t stands
no chance of adoption by the present Con-
gress, it puts the judges record far ip ad-
vance of all anti-monopolistic competition.
Empoyia Republican.

Atchison is worse torn up than ever over
the liquor question. Mayor Burnes recon.
mended the passage Of an ordinance similar
to one once in force in Topeka, to license
the sale of ''mineral water and other
drinks" and when il was passed he chang
ed his mind and vetoed it, and the council
sustained the veto. The Pstriof intimates
that the closing OF the saloons will bank
rupt and depopulate Atchiscn, but 1t won't,
although, undoubtedly, the whisky trade,
when driven out of Atchison, will become
the nucleus for quite rattle rattle-down,
drunken hole of a town at the other end Of
the bridge in Missouri.

A SURPRISE PARTY.

GYPSUM, February 8, 1884.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:
While the young people Of the east end
are making the long winter evenings as
merry as possible with parties and oyster
suppers, the old folks are almost as busy
making surprise calls upon each other. Last
Wednesday a surprise dinner was given to
Mr.. and Mrs. James o. Alexander at their
residence which was q surprise, indeed, as
MIR. and Mrs. A. knew nothing of the mat
ter until about forty-iye persons came in
upon them with baskets well filled, took
possession Of the fort and prepared a din
ner that would have done justice to much
older country than this. Feasting, music
and jollity were the order of the day, and
old and young seemed to try to make the
occasion as agreeable as possible. The chill
dren and grandchildren Of the host and
hostess were all present. and a genuine
friendly feeling prevailed. Would that such
occasions were held oftener, that the good
people of our county might become better
acquainted.
Gypsum township has lost one OF her old
est and most influential residents, by the
moving OF Mr.. j. A. Edwards to Wichita.
Mr.. E., during his residence here, had made
many warm friends and his going away
takes from us a man who was always an
honest, square-dealing man, and q sociable
and accommodating neighbor, and our
township will sadly miss the influence Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards and their accom-
plished daughters. May success attend
them in their new home.
What was intended for Mr.. George Blk
ler's Christmas present made its appear
apce few days ago, but George would
have been better pleased IL 1t had been
boy.
A gentleman from Kansas City-a Mr..
Snodgrass-is making our people happy by
coming among them with the intention Of
opening up country store, postoffce, etc.
We understand that Mr.. S. is q doctor of
long and successful practice, Of which Gyp-
sum has long stood in need. He has bought
half-section of land of which be will make
q stock farm.
The election went of quietly, and result
ed in the election Of some Democrats, some
Republicans, and one bolter.

says:
"Groupd-hog's day was warm, bright and

ow. Ground-hog's day, 1850, was precisely
such day, and instead of six more weeks
Of winter, spring continued on from that
day without even single frost to do any
damage. But that summer witnessed the

Wouldn't Touch Him with u Pair Of
TOngs.

Alexandra Dumas contributes to the
Cnu'ieur an anecdote told him by the
late Henri Didier, who was a deputy
under the second empire. Didier's
father was Secretary to the Minister of
the Interior Mt the time when the
Duchess de Berri was arrested Mt
Nantes at the end of her attempt to
raise the country against Louis Philippe
and in favor of her son, the comte de
Chambord. The traitor Deutz agreed
to sell to the Government the secret of
her hiding place for SOC, 900 francs, and
il was the elder nidier's duty to pay
the scoundrel for his dirty work. He
took his son Henri into the Office and
said Look well now at what passes,
and never forget it. You will learn
what lache is, and the method of
paving him." Deutz was then brought
into the room where NJ. Didier was
standing behind his desk, on which
were placed two packets, each of which
contained .50,OO0 francs. As Deutz
neared the desk NJ. Didier made sign
to him to stop. Then, taking pair of
tongs he extended the packets one after
the other into the hands open to re-
ceive them. Not n word was spoken,
and when thatransfer Was effected Nj.
Didier pointed to the door.
