Arminius Vambery, the Hungarian trav-

Chinese colossus has an iron head, which in
case of a general commotion, threatens to
dissolve the Conference of the compound In
the highlands of Yunan, at the southwestern
extremity Of the Chinese empire there are
millions of headstrong Mohammedans, who
have more than once expelled the represent

for couple of years have only awaited q
favorable opportunity to rise in general re-
beilion. They not only defy the e.nperor's
ENJOYS, but deny his competence in toto,
and question the legality of all feudal
statutes.

DEPRESSION AND ECONOMY.


On learning of the embarrassment of
Harding g. Fisher good many expressed
the opinion that it was but the beginning
Of the end. In these times of depression it
would be well for our merchants TO adopt q
radical system of economy and retrench-
ment. During the greater portion of our
history as a city, trade has been wonderful
ly good, and goods were bought and sold
with lavishness unknown in older and
more settled communities. Our merchants
never have known the need and consequent
ly never practiced anything like rigid sys-
TEN of economy. All business was conduct
ed in a loose and of-banded style. II is safe
to state that if small smatters of economy
were SO generally ignored in eastern towns
and cities where trade is always slow and
competition sharp and close, the merchant
who ignored strict economy would not sur
vive one year. 1t would be tideous to enter
into details of the strict system of economy
everywhere carried out by eastern mer-
chants. The time is now upon US when it
will be found necessary to throw aside our
old loose style of doing business, and to
adopt closer and more systematized routine
and practice the most rigid economy.

1.-THE BIRD OF PREY SCREAMS AGAIN
FOR SPOlLs."

Under the above caption the Beacon de-
votes halt column to a wild attack on an
article touching the filthy condition of the
city and administering lash or two TO GER
tain of the city council, which appeared in
yesterday mornings EAGLE.
The Beacon man imagines the article in
question to have been written by the editor,
in this he isa little of. The man who
wrote it knew what he was talking about
and can back up all he said and a good deal
more. The Beacon appears to regret that
the mares We're not mentioned. Well that
could be lone very easily if it could serve
any good pcIpose. The writer had had his
attention frequently called to the conditions
and things treated in that article, and can
prove by at least a dozen good men in the
city that during the past summer men who
wanted a location, and who were fsvorably
impressed with this valley and the business
prospects of Wichita, decided not to locate
here owing to the filthy condition of the city.
One of our prominent manufacturers
told the writer yesterday that If he had not
engaged with his partner to come here and
open their establishment here, before ne Wis
tied the city, he would not have settled here
at all. The reputation of the city for filth
is too well known.
The object of the EAGLE is to call asten-
tention to these facts, not for political icon
siderations, but that something might be
done to remedy this evil. The writer could
tell the Beacon and the high officials hintcd
at,something learned from that ex-polceman
they would not care to have coupled with
their names.
Perhaps it would suit them just as well to
have no names mentioned. If the Beacon
would like list Of citizens who will endorse
the statements in this article, they can be
furnished.

of the Turner'S annual masquerade bal
given in their hall last evening, which was
as heretofore, = brilliant success. The gal
lery was packed long before the hour an.
nounced for the grand march, while the
floor was occupied BY upwards Of eighty
couples, the greater majority of whom ap-
peared in costumes ranging from the sub
lime to the ridiculous. The costumes worn
by the ladies being particularly elegant in
many instances, most costly and looked en-
chantingly lovely, but few of which were
representative of any character, so We are
unable TO mention Others than Miss Tillie

Miss L. McClintock as Gypsy Queen; Miss
Jennie Coats, as Queen of the Arctic Re-
gions; Mrs. Chas. Franks as Gypsy Queen
Miss Anna Saur as the Washwo-
man; Miss Meyers appeared most
charming in dress made from and
trimmed with DAILY EAGLES. Amongst the
gentlemen masqueraders we noticed Mr..

The floor was in excellent condition; the
assemblage was in the best of spirits while
the Shaw orchestra discoursed their sweet
est strains and everything moved forward
lovely, but the fun and merriment ran fast
and high when the order was given TO re-
move their masks. Dancing was INDUCED
in until an carly hour, when the happy
throng, after general Misunderstanding and
New Year greetings dispersed to their re-
spective homes.

Coroner,s INQUEST.

DENVER, Dec. 3l.-Last night another
founding died in Williams asylum, making
three deaths from inattention since Christ
mas. At the coroner's inquest to-day VIII
liams admitted that no physician had been
called to attend the children or the simplest
remedies applied, as he and the household
firmly believed in the efficacy of prayer cur
ing all human ills, and where patient dies
in his institution no human power could
have saved them. Prominent physicians
held an autopsy to-day which revealed the
fact that one or more children would have
recovered with proper medical attention. or
even the care Of competent nurse. The
coroner's jury declared in their verdict that
the institution was in the hands Of lot of
religious fanatics" who, in the above cases,
were criminslly negligent, and recommends
that the place be closed by the authorities.

CURIOUS VENISON.

A good one on George Harris was going
the rounds yesterday.
Night before last somebody made him 8
present of fine piece of venison ham. II
was done up in paper and he started home
with it. He met friend and threw the dice
for the cigars. While engaged in this pas
time some of the boys stole the venison and
fixed up a package containing brick, al
old pair Of overshoes and some limbergei
cheese, and laid it where the yenison was
left. When through with his amusement
George took up his parcel and started home
singing "there'll be no sorrow there" Ar
irving at home he gave his better half a lee.
ture on venison and instructions to prepare
this in fine style tor dinner. He then re-
tired. 1t occurred to Mrs, II. that it would
make the venison nice and tender to hang
it out over night and let it freeze. Opening
the package she discovered the content.
and supposing her spouse had played trich
on her she went for him, but of course hi
was innocent. The children now sing him
little ditty: 'What kind Of shoes do the
angels wear"
