successful chip from the old block 1t will

of Mr.. Nash, who is an expe-
rienced and thoroughly competent man

of the venture, and thereby not only benefit
his firm and self but also the city.
The goods will not be manufactured here
but will be received ready for market from
the eastern house. They will have made to
order new brand of Eagle" cigars, which
will be something remarkably fine for the
price, and should become great fayorites.
The trade mark will be photograph of the

Havanss-like little man. Lon, we sus-
pected that you had something on the

captured this ''fat-tske," We hope that you
may cease TO be lease" and henceforth
prove model type" of manhood; that you
may stick" to your galley" through the
journey Of life, let come what may, ana
never finch or seek Sub" TO bear the bur-
den. until the old scythe-bearer knocks
you into pie" and at the same time opens
the golden gates of the beautiful city for the
reception of yourself and worthy bride.

SAD DROWNING.

Ii becomes our painful duty this morning
to record the cad death BY drowning OF
Walter and Elva Msisner, aged respective
~ I and s YEAR,, the son and daughter OF
Mr. and Ms. VIM. Meisner, who reside
about four miles north of this city, near the
Arkansas river. The children left the
house between 10 and II o'clock with their
fishing rods in hand, and were not missed
until near noon, when search revealed the
two innocerts drowned in pool near the
river that had been formed when the river
was up. Investigation of the circumstances
lead to the conclusion that the little girl had
tried to get well into the pool upon log
that lay near the edge. and in doing SO, roll
ed the log over and was precipitated into
the water. Her little brother, who from the
tracks found, must have been at the other
side of the pool, seeing her in the water,
started to her assistance when he also slip
ped in aud met the same fate. The pool is
about twenty feet wide and thirty long, and
is situated about thirty rods from the house.
An inquest WAS held in the afternoon, and
the children will be buried this afternoon,
the funeral taking place from their home at
o'clock, Rev. DR.. Harper officiating.

GOV. MARTINS ARBoR DAY.


To-day is Arbor Day, day that SO far as
as Kansas is concerned, should have been
set aside and observed many years before il
was. But Arbor day has no significance in
Wichits. The EAGLE, dozen years ago or
more inaugurated Arbor Day for Wichita
and kept its proclamations going SO lively
that to-day the city ia so EMPOWERED in
trees that the Governors Arbor Day will be
principally observed by cutting down rath-
er than by planting trees, for hundreds Of
trees are being cut down, consequently there
viii be no occasion for the city schools to
observe the dsy MS will be done by ma
jority of the schools of the state.
But the EAGLE is patriotic and IS our
friens c. K. and VI. c. Mccormick, of Au-
gusta. Kansas, sent us by express three very
fine white oak trees, we shall plant them
in honor of Gov. Martin and his Arbor Day
not forgetting our friends, the McCormcks
who sent us the fine trees

To the Teacher. Of our CITY scbool..

To the Teachers Of our City Schools
The governor of Kansas has issued proc
lamation requesting the schools of the state
to observe tomorrow, April End, as Arbor
Day. 1t has been thought best not to have
a holiday, neither do we think the city of
Wichita greatly in need of trees at this
time. So we thought it good plan to OBJ
serve part of the day after this fashion.
Each school take part of the afternoon in
reading, reciting and talking about trees.
Let the pupils bring what reading matter
they may have at home, in the afternoon,
and from this you can select an interesting
programme. After this let each school,
under the direction of the teacher, appoint q
committee Of three to procure a tree, and
brin the same TO the jsnitor of your ward
on Friday or Saturday, who W i'll, under the
direction of the board of education and my
self, see to the planting Of the same. Please
name the tree after some noted writer (poet
or historian, etc. and report the name Of
the person after whom your tree is named
to me, and proper record of the same will
be made. If the writer is still living, and
you think best, you can notify him that you
and your pupils appreciate his writing.
Dismiss at your pleasure between and

A GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

To the many friends who through the la
dies festival soon after the burning of the
church, and by direct contributions at any
time, have so generously aided me in the al
tempt to replace in part my library, ] here
by express my heartfelt gratitude. The
many recent tokens and expressions of kind
ness and appreciation are beyond all my de
serving, and feel that more would fail to
give any fitting acknowledgement. The
work of the past year has been so hurried
and irregular in its character and methods
90 largely preliminary to the better thing
hoped for when the tribes of our Israel
should come with gladness into the com
pleted courts Of the restored temple, that
could not have expected so general an ex-
preston of confidence and approval at thi'
time. For all associated with me in the la
bors and experiences Of the year, and in any
way related TO these words and acts Of kind
ness l will continue to pray: peace b
within thy walls, and prosperity within thy
palaces" ID. w. PHILLIPS.

BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE.

The large landscape picture that is upon
exhibition in the window Of Hyde's book
store, is OF the entrance 70 the Grand Cam
yon, Colorado, and was sketched and paint
ed BY j. w. Garner, the commedian of
Wsite's dramatic company, and presented
BY him TO Mrs. Jas. r. Waite, of this city.
The view is made up of a mountain scene
with peaks, slopes and valleys, giant pines,
a dashing stream, rocky lodges. and wind
ing road with the rude cabin appropriate to
these surroundings. The view is striking
one and the picture as work of art. though
in some of the colorings might be criticized
somewhat, is surely, taken all in all, a fine
piece Of work for m amateur.
