AS THE WORLD GOES.

There's the girl with the smiling face,
The girl with the watching eye,
There's the girl with stately grace,
The girl that is modest and shy;
There's the girl with the winning air,
The girl that's reserved and cold.
There's the girl with the curly hair,
And the girl that is rather old;
There's girl that is grand and tall,
The girl with the dimpled chin,
But the girl that beats them all
Is the girl that has got the tin.

HOGISH

The packing house is now running in full
blast and Cal Stewart is building an Office
near the packing house. There were one
hundred and fifty hogs in the yard yesterday
awaiting their turn TO die. The victim Is
driven up flight of steps and when he
reaches the top trap door is drawn back
and his porkship is knocked in the head
and is then a>sas>inated again by cutting
his throat. after which he i, souscd into a
big trough Of boiling water, rolled about a
few times. then pulled onto q big table where
a couple Of men make the fur ily of him at
lively rate. The slaughtcring capacity is
fifty a day. In the rear Is an immense ket-
tie in which the lard is rendered. From
this kettle il is dipped into large trough.
in which are three faucets, under which bar
rels are placed and the beautiful hot
stream, clear as water. runs into the barrels.
In the cellar great rows Of salt-6ried side-,
shoulders and hams are stacked up awaiting
transfer to the smoke house. The establish
ment is altogether inadequate 10 the require
ments Of this city, situated as il is in the
ceuter Of one Of the best hog producing
districts west of the Mississippi. Scarcely \
day passes that one or two car loads Of hogs
are no, shipped To Kansas City from this
neighborhoed alone. This should be stopped
and at once. Wichita should not only pack
all the pork raised in this county. bu; all
that of the surrounding counties. Colonel
Stewart has plenty Of room at his present
location to build up such an
as would accommodate
the trade, and give employment TO
all the laboriug men in this city. rnfortu-
nately, however, Col. Stewart has not the
required capital to run an establishment of
that magnitude
A great deal has been said about the ur-
sencv Of putting forth an earnest effort 10
induce manufacturers 10 locate here IN order
to sustain our present rate Of growth. Now
here is concern already established which
could. with proper encouragement, be put
IN shape to add greatly TO our commercial

APOSTLE DOOLITTLE,

1t is now positively settled that when Saint
Jack is elected president, Farmer Doolittle
will be rendered the portfolio of state Doo-
little SAYS he will accept, as he thinks it is a
better job than buying wheat at As cents
per bushel.
An EAGLE reporter overheard very ami
mated conversation between Dick Walker
and Doolittle the next day after Doolittle's
annual message to the people Of Kansas.
which able document it will be remembered
appeared in the EAGLE few days ago. Dick
declared that Farmer was away of with
regard 10 the patron saint of Olathe, but
Farmer thought not, and declared with tears
as big as crab apples in those eyes Of his.
that it broke him all up to hear that blessed
saint abused Farmer had conversation
with another gentlemen on the same subject,
who asked if he was not afraid Of being
hung in eiligy. \ bystander naiyely re-
marked that there was no danger, because
there was no telegraph pole long enough 10
hang Doolittle's efiigy on.
Farmer is just now suffering with an ex-
ceedingly yirulent attack Of prohibition, and
declares positively that he will give back
that key. The key referred TO fits in the
back door of "A saloon.

BEFORE THE JUSTICES.

Business in the Justice, court j. still
booming.
"Wednesday "a man named Edward Duck
worth swore cut warrant for a boy named
John W. Ortwcin, charging him with steal
ing SO from him. When the boy was
brought into court Frank Dale was sent
for and after gathering the circumstances,
changed the charge to embezzlement, and
SET the case for hearing at nine o'clock yes
terday morning. G. W. c. Jones was re-
tanned as counsel for the defense. When
the hour for the trial came the defendant
and other witnesses were on hand, but
Duckworth, the prosecuting witness, failed
to file an appearance. \ constable was sent
to hunt him up, but it was learned that he
had skipped. The defendant was therefore
discharged.
In the case of the state against John
Thomas, charged with stealing S2s from T..
l.. Adams, which was heard by Justice
Hobbs, the accused was found guilty, and
placed under $500 bonds TO answer the
charge at the next term Of court.
In Justice Thomas court the case Of the
state against the Burnett boys and BRAZIL
was disposed Of This was an action brought
BY the state against the defendants on the
affidavit of L. l.. Montgomery, charging
the defendants with having stolen seventy
five bushels Of corn. o. II. Bently appeared
for the defense, and owing to the fact that
Frank Dale was engaged in the Thomas
case. before Justice Hobbs, George {. Co
wart appeared for the state. Montgomery
having no witnesses to sustain the charge,
the case was dismissed, and Che costs. $3.50,
were assessed against Montgomery. Not
| being over flush in cash he could not pay,
| therefore a commitment was issued and he
was placed in charge Of Constable Thomas
Montgomery probably got the matter fixed
up, as he was seen at large later in the ey9n-
| ing. This case is somewhat mixed, and the
stories of the opposing parties are rather
conflicting. Montgomery has been drinking
hard, and probably got things mixed. The
other parties have the reputation Of being
| honorable men.
