To the Editor of the EAGLE:

To the Editor of the EAGLE:
Your reporter made me deliver speech
on woman Suffrage and ask my hearers
to "espouse the cause" also represented me
as trying to prove from history 'man's in
feriority and woman's superiority" The
question of woman suffrage was not APP
preached. Ny theme wss Are Women In
ferior:" and quoted largely from history
both ancient and mode-r-to prove that
women do not lack brains, but education,
encouragement and a fair chance TO achieve
success in the great struggle of life.
There was nothing derogatory said
or quoted Of men. but selection
from the eloquent Robert G. lngersoll, in
which he SAYS nothing worse than that
"women are more faithful than men," /
would be glad to have my lips as eloquent
on the theme Of equal suffrage as my heart
would have them 20 be. but as yet have
not spoken in public on the subject
Very respectfully,
Mas. VI. +. LEASE.

The expedition to New Orleans in the
CITY of Wichita" which was mentioned in
the EAGLE last week, has been postponed on
account Of ice. Capt. Bennett SAYS the ice is
three Inches thick where the vessel is moored

He says if be can't get of soon the crew-will
be in as bad n fix as Greely's crew We're He

A very handsome and efficient cash regis
ter is upon exhibition at the down town Of

lister in pencil upon a moving tape. When
the DAVIS business is finished the amount
footed upon the tape and the cash in the
box must agree. If not, there is discrep-
ency somewhere. Couldn't fellow tap the
till and MAIZE the figures correspond?
The ruler Of the inverted year, with con-
gealed breath. frosty face and benumbed
limbs, is upon us. His reign Cor the few
past DAYS has been vigorously terrific as he
locked all things in his dumb and stiff en-
brace and left our valley "A dead, desolate
domain Only the skeleton of all that was
fair in nature seems left TO us. Dread as he
seems when first he shakes his white, liteless
beard in our faces he yet offers occasions for
many Joys and delights that never would be
did he fail to spread the white emblematic
wings Of his iron reign. Parties Tor the
yonng, festivals and amusements for the
more mature. DAYS filed with restful uncon-
Germ and nights of close, sweet, family COM
munion which nor sable sky nor sickly sun
can cloud or mar. Soon the season for rev.
elry and gaity will be upon US, but before
the joyous days shall fully open lie; US see TO
il that those in our midst, who not the less
meritorious but more unfortunate, are pro-
yided with the necessities from our bounties-
There is much complaint of the insufii-
cienl way in which some of our public
school rooms are heated. Either the parties
having charge of the heating apparatus and
ventilators do not understand their business
or else these are insufficient. 1t is hard
matter 10 comfortably heat an isolated
building in Kansas blizzard. When one
is raging, cold air creeps in everywhere and
ventilators tor the time being can be safely
closed A majority of the patent steam
heaters and patent hot air furnaces are pat
ent humbugs so far as heating large rooms
in public buildings are concerned. We
know this from experience. Heavy boilers
at 80 to 30 lbs pressure with plenty OF coils
will do the work only satisfactory as q rule.
We know nothing of the apparatus en-
ployed in the public school buildings of
Wichita nor whether they are properly
handled fer the best results or not, but we
do know that parents are complaining to US
that their children suffered yesterday and
the day before.

The Story OF an Umbrella.

We were living up in the mountains
and had quite herd Of cows, among
them one, an old COW, who wore bell.
The cows had been missing for several
days, and the boys we're ont searching,
and one afternoon thought ! would
try what could do. So mounted q
pony and rode quite distance, when I
thought heard the old cows bell. I
dismounted and started to prowl around
among the rocks and bushes.
1T had been raining during the early
part Of the afternoon, and I had an UNI
brella. After had gone a short dis
lance / caught glimpse of the cows.
As / started toward them, suddenly
they lifted their heads, crooked their
tails, and started away on o dead run.
! was just wondering what frightened
them, when / heard rustling in the
bushes behind me.
Il turned around, and there, not ten
feet away, was q big mountain lion
standing on rock staring at me. /
assure you never felt SO bashful in all
my life. ! hadn't gun or even Jack
knife, and there was that beast staring
and getting ready for spring. All at
once thought Of my umbrella, and as
quick AZ thought l raised that much
borrowed article and spread it right in
Mr.. Lions face. He didn't stop to ex-
anime, bnt made one great Jump clear
across the gorge, and when he lighted
gave yell that shook the hills.
Il saw no more of him. When / got
home the cows were there" Gen. III
