THE CHICAGO FRAUD.

Our readers are aware that the fraud in
Chicago by which the Democrats attempted
TO steal u state senator, and then "A United
States senator, was By forged tickets After
the polls were closed some two weeks, the
Republican ticket was engraved, and fac
smile Of it prepared. then the name of the
Democratic candidate for senator was pasted
over that of the Republican, and placed in
the ballot box in one ward, and an equal
number ofgenuinc Republican tickets taken
out and destroyed. This is now proved and
Acknowledged, even by the Demo
Gratis. We do not know that peo-
pie should express so much sur
prise at this. There is not reader of the
history of this country for the past forty
years, that does not know that the Demo-
cratic party, at all times, has been kept in
power when it had power by similar frauds.
They remember the celebrated Plaquemine
frauds in Louisiana as long ago as ls44, they
remember that fraud has been the rule in the
city Of New York for full forty years; they
remember that nearly all of the southern
states cast their electoral votes for Cleveland
last "Wednesday through fraud. Why
should there be such hue and cry over the
Chicago fraud, the attempt to elect United
States senator By frauds, when fraudulent
practices are stamped all over That party for
nearly half a century.-Commonw

WICHITA THEATRE GOERS

To the Editor Of the Eagle
would like to use portion Of your
space in calling the attention Of the public
to nuisance which exists and is tolerated in
theatres.
While witnessing the performance Of the
"Galey Slave" by the Clifford Dramatic
company in this town, many were exceed
ingly ANNOYED by the loud and vulgar con-
versation and comments of three individuals
who occupied seats ia row II Of section c,
and Of couple more OCCUPYING seats direct
~ in the rear of those named. simply
wish that they, individually, and all Others
whom the cap may ct, shall have an oppor-
tunity of having the idea impressed upon
their feeble minds that the majority of those
who attend theatre performances go for the
purpose OF hearing what the actors have to
say, and not what addlc-brained idiots in
the audience see fiji TO force upon their
the instincts of gentlemen, the smallest
amount of sense, or ability to distinguish
between good and bad acting when they see
it; and only attend theatres in order to give
their neighbors in the audience the exceed
ing great benefit of their experience as crit
les and Washers. They should
be forciby reminded of the fact that, while
every one has a right to his opinion, no one
has the right 10 force that opinion upou
Others who neither care what it is or wheth
er il exists at all. Those in the neighbor-
hood Of the parties alluded to were treated
to extracts of private history which positive
ly proved that they were not gentlemen;
also comments upon the play such as "Well
that is the worst | ever seen, etc, showing
conclusivcly that the high order of intell
gence aud education which they possessed
made them worthy Of better company than
those around them q
Hoping that the parties alluded to may
see this article and have sufficient instinct to
take this gentle hint and profit by IT suiii-
GENTLY hereafter wait until they are asked 10
express opinions, | close with the further
reminder TO them-which their mother
probably taught them quite lately-that
children should be seen and not heard.

THE PIG CONTEST

The following is the result of the feeding
Of the different breeds of pigs which Were
furnished me to feed the past season. The
Poland China pig was donated by Mr.. j. {.
Hyde. of Sunny Dale. the Berkshire pig
was donated by Mr.. u. l.. Miller, east OF
town. The contest was to determine which
pig would gain the most aesh in proportion
TO the amount of feed consumed in iitty-sev-
en- days.
The Poland China pig was farrowed May

Acccrdingto the agreement. the pigs We're
to be Spna,ed and the feed paid for by the
owners. was TO feed the pigs and sell them
and donate the money TO some charitable
object OF my choosing. Mr.. Hyde prompt
" paid his share of the feed. but Mr.. Miller
has not materialized with the feed bill yet.
Nor did he fulfill his agreemen; to pur-
chase the Berkshire pig at the end of the
trial a, Toe per pound. The pigs were sold
on the market for Sl5.6e. and the money
given to the Women's Christian Temperance
Union. Respectfully,

I'VE can only add that J. c. Hyde, Of
Sunny Dale is one of Sedgwick county's
m, ;, enierprising and successful farmers and
stock growers. When our first agricultural
society was in its infancy J. c. Hyde WAS
sure to be on hand with something flom his
Sunny Dale farm. His short horns and his
Poland Chinas have enjoyed a wide reputa-
tation. and when such \ contest as the above
was suggested of course he did not propose
TO get left. As to Miller, we can say moth
ing excep, that he was beaten. An account
of the affair was publishedin the Live Stock

WICHITA SCHOOL NOTES.
, the Editor Of the Daily Eagie:

To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle.
Very few schools with which ! am ae-
quainted are better supplied with apparatus
than the Wichita high school. Nearly every
department Of chemistry and natural philos-
ophy can be finely illustrated by interesting
experiments. A larSe number of geological
and botanical specimens will be arranged
and mounted soon; negotiations have been
made, and, should nothing prevent, a valu-
able addition will be made TO the library in
the near future.
The names Of twelve persons appear on
the visitors record for the first week of De-
cember. Everybody is welcome.
| Miss Jennie Fay has resumed her place as
teacher in the seventh grade Many golden
opinions have been expressed on the literary
exercises by her pupils on last Friday after
noon. The exercises consisted in essays
declarations and select readings, and were
very commcndable throughout.
The per cent Of attendance in the different
departments for the month of November
was as follows: High school, 90, grammar
department, %, primary 81.
Miss Walker, of the first ward has resigned
her position; and Miss Lillian Woodland has
been elected to the place.
Ten or twelve Of our teaches are taking
a special course of instruction in drawing
under Miss Alice Hunt, of the art institute
The pupils of our schools are doing good
work and drawing promises to bea complete
success.
AT the last regular meeting Of the school
board, appropriations were made for several
supplies, which were very much needed.
Good clocks have been put up in all the
rooms. \ number OF the new and novel
fire extinguishers were ordered to be pur-
chased on trial. Finch's arithmetical charts
were ordered for the primary departments.
These charts are the latest and best in the
field they occupy. They are so arranged as
to furnish work for every pupil and in all
grades. BY a series of simple combinations
eighty charts, each containing more arith-
metical work than any other chart hereto
fore published, can de developed. They
will undoubtedly save much time and labor
