The Times hss often tried TO soo;h the

Wichita editors-and has even laid its hands
gently upon the political economist of the
Osage City Free Freshly showing them
the prosperity of Kansas City makes FOR the
general good of all those plsces.-ksnsas
City Times.
Tie trouble with the Times is il takes The
effect as the cause, gets the cart before the
horze- Kansas City has depended wholly
upon Kansas for her prosperity, and this
= state does not in the remotest degree depend
upon Kansas City for her prosperity and
the O=sge City Free Press, in replying TO the
above paragraph, shows that its editor not
only fails TO appreciate the spirit of Kansas,
but that his ideas are bounded BY and con-
fined to that small corner OF the state so long
and so successfully dominated by the Mis-
souri, town. Mr.. Admire will wake up inside
of five years, to realize that he has not only
wrote sycophantic thing, but that the "hue
and CRY" Of Kansas trade on Kansas soil is
neither childish nor idle, and that there will
DO more than one rival to Kansas City
within our own borders. If to set forth our
own advantages by words that fall short of
The actual facts, and, il to urge the wisdom
of standing in for our own state in prefer
cnce TO trucking to outside interests and
cities Is "wind and abuse" then the EAGLE
wants il distinctly understood tba: lis voice

CAN'T DO LIZ.

Referring TO the one hundred and twenty
odd volumes OF records, contracted By the
commissioner of Mead county. and to be
furnished by the EAGLE Printing house, the
Meade County Globe says that certain indi-
viduals are trying 20 make capital against
the board Of commissioners, charging big
prices, inferior work, or something of that
character. The thing can't be made to go
down. The EAGLE asserts now and here
that Tor superiority in every articular, in
stock, in finish, and in workmanship, that
the records put up for Mead county were
never surpassed in this state, and that as for
prices, no other establishment even offered
TO duplicate the EAGLES bid within several
hundred dollars. The work, which is now
nearly completed, speaks for itself, and as
TO the price, all fault finders are respectfully
referred to the state printer, or to any
printing sand binding establishment

Christmas is near at hand and fnel
weather no country ever saw than we arr

little troublesome. On North Washington
avenue teams are compelled TO turn on &c
streets farther west as the grade for the
street cars makes the avenue too soft.

The protracted effort now in progress in
this city, conducted by the united efforts Of
the various churches and Rev. Wilson,
promises to be of great benefit to the town
as they now have over one hundred con-
verts and the meeting has but fairly begun.
The meeting will be held tonight in Wood

We can now boast of twenty buildings,

the lack Of faith eyinced by the EAGLE III
tie past was, it WIS not strained. We stood
squarely up 10 the light We had, and set
down nothing in malice Little else than q
simple want of conviction was ever ex-
pressed in these columns. All was learned
that could be, and in "a gentlemanly way,
and if the projectors were unwilling to en-
Tighten Us as 10 the inside. We could not
help that. As for the News estimste of the
cost of sixty miles OF grading-ezclusive of
eulverts and bridges-it is perfectly ridicu-
lous. The EAGLE is for al the roads that
can be built in Southern Kansas. Wichita's
lines viii intersect every one Of them The
EAGLE stands open to conviction always, but
no mere blow car eyer pull the wool over

THE CHRISTMAS TREE

For the Eagle.
Kris Kringle comes down from the north
tonight
Hark, to the clatter, and petter and ring,
Of reindeer-sleighs, and footballs light,
OF the shy little creatures that draw them,
and bring
Joy to the little ones, mirth to the rest,
Humor and jollity, music and fun.
Tinkle and jingle his bells, Of the best
Silvery metal. of s:lvery tone;
Out OF the southland, out of the west,
Eastward, through all Of our glittering zone,
Over the prairie, and back from the crest,
Echoes the answer the steeple begun.
And fast to the window our merry guest
skurries,
HIS fairy team painting frost flowers on the
pane;
Upward. like winking, the lower sash
hurries,
And jolly old "Ssnta" is with US again.
Under his furry robe, out in the frost rime,
Years count as moments with jolly old Kris.
Putting with hurry, to make up for lost
time.
The good things he throws US are something
like this:
Aoiis suc udp4cs tups Snc oOl
Watches and pencils. and candies, and
swirls
Of feathers and laces, and all sorts of toys
Kisses for lsddies, and rings for their girls,
Pipes for the old men. cigars for the young.
Jack-kniyes and whistles, and marbles and
gum,
Jewels. and jumping jacks already sprung
For prodigious leap at the touch of your
thumb
Gloves for the ladies, silk handkerchief,
strings,
Purses with money, and purses with none;
These and great many other good things,
Old Kristopher tosses, and then rattles on
Listen. he sings as he clatters along,
Shouts to his team, and he jingles the bells,
Till rattle and CHATTER, and jingle and song,
Melt in the distance, where happiness dwells,
Dwells in the misty blue mountains of hope,
In palace Of silver, sglitter with light,
And, smiling on each one somewhere on the
slope
OF life's hesving hill, she beams on us to-
night
He clatters away, but his music has set
Its rhyme in the heart, and its chime in the
ear.
His jingle win Jingle in memory yet,
In SUMMER countries, and slumbcring years.

Red Heyl, accused of doing hotel sneak thev-
ing at Circle Park hotel during the Schuetzenfest,
sent to Cincinnati for an attorney, who came up
yesterday, in the person of the Hon. Thomas
Cogan, politician, member of the Legislature and
supporter of the Kid faction of Ohio Democracy.
He expects to have Heyls case continued when
it is called for trial Mr.. Cogan suggests little
story. He was prospective candidate for pros
ecuting attorney of Hamilton county, O., at one
time. The Hon. Jack Connolly, of the Fifth
ward, was asked what he knew about candidates
FOR that position, the questioner opening the in
terVew with:
'Who do the Democrats want for prosecuting

ASK me a harder one," said Jack There are
three candidates VINO want it badly, one Kary,
one Shay and one Cogan, from the town Of Kill

did not lack in interest as to evidence and earn
estness on the part of his attorneys to save him
from punishment The prisoner was put upon
the witness stand, and his statement the prose
cutting attorney regarded as very serviceable to
conviction, but Hensley's lawyers contested ev-
cry step of the case, and in argument dwelt upon
the smallest details in their efforts to save him
or again cause the jury to disagree. At 10
o'clock yesterday morning Judge. Duncan charged
the jury, and from that time until o'clock last
evening they were in deliberation on verdict.
The prosecutor became anxious as the hours
passed away, and no word came from the jury
room. AS his anxiety increased so did the hopes
of the defense for favorable result brighten,
but at o'clock the jury came in with verdict
of guilty, fixing the punishment at three years
in the penitentiary and fifty dollars fine.

years of age, was delivering meat from wagon
at a house on North Meridian street for David
Umstndter, young Bloomer, who lives at No.
1913 North Pennsylvania street, approached on a
bicycle. The horse attached to Eckharts wagon
became frightened. He was standing on the
wheel of the wagon, in the act of jumping to

to run, throwing Eckhart to the ground. The
wagon passed over him. causing internal injuries,
from which he died yesterday morning. At the
time he did not think he was badly hurt, as he
walked to his home, No. so Fort Wayne avenue;
but in short time he showed such suffering
that DR.. Bigger was called, who at first expected
DO fatal results. The inquest was continued for
further testimony.
