What is the matter with Gov. Pierce? is

formed that the governor WAS doing his
duty, the president said Il do not think it
is good policy where an official is doing
his duty faithfully and giving satisfaction
to the people, to remove him before
his term OF office expires. The presi-

POISONED WITH cARBoLIc ACID.

Sunday, the constable from Clearwater
came into the city for Coroner Garrison to
hold an inquest on the body of old man
Alexander c. Pease, whose place is about
three miles north of Clearwater. He left
for Clearwater Sunday evening by the Fort
Scott train accompanied by the coroner.who
has not returned at this writing. Informa-
ton as to the old mans death is meagre and
unsatisfactory. One thing however appears
to be certain, viz: he took a drink of car
bolic acid, or whisky and carbolic acid. The
story was told an EAGLE reporter two ways;
one way being that the old man had been
sick and that his wife got up at in the
morning to give him some whisky. That
there were two bottles on the table, one of
which contained whisky and the other car
bolic acid, and that she took the wrong bot
tie. and that at 5 o'clock, an hour after ia
king the draught, he was dead. The other
version of the affair is that there was but
one bottle and that it contained a mixture of
whisky and carbolic acid. No matter which
way it was the old man is dead and whisky
was at the bottom Of the trouble anyway.
Old man Pease is well known in this city
and il is well known that he and his wife
didn't get along very we'll together lately.
LATER-Since writing the foregoing G. S.
Caldwell returned from the scene of the
tragedy and reports that Mrs. Pease got out
of bed to get the old gentleman some whisky
and went to the shelf where bottle of car
bolic acid and bottle whisky were kept and
having no light she got the wrong bottle and
poured out draught, gave it to her hus-
band, who upon swallowing it remarked
it was queer whisky. He died in half an
hour after.

DEATH OF GEO. c. cowARr.

The intelligence reached here yesterday
morning that George c. Cowart dropped
dead on the street in Garden City, Finney
county, last Sunday. No one who knew
him intimately here was surprised at the
news. In fact, those most intimately &C
quainted with him expected some such a
termination of his unhappy life ere now.
Lie, Tor some time, he felt TO be burden to
him.
Geo. Cowart came 10 this city from Texas
about year ago and settled down TO practice
his profession, but notwithstanding his fine
native ability, literary sttainments and legal
lore, his practice never assumed living pro-
portions and be subsisted partly on the
bounty Of friends and that of brother who
lives in Texas He was native of Georgia
and was Of good family. He practiced law
in Missouri. Texas and other states, and was
prominent at one time in the Kansas
City bar; but in financial way he
never was q success. Whisky was his
enemy; human enemies he had none. He
had big heart and was free from guile.
For months past life was burden to him.
He was not quite misanthrope, nor an n.y.
pocondriac, but might be called combine
ton Of both. He lacked that hope of eter-
nal lie which buoys the christian under sd-
versity and his life was blank to him. He
sometimes Icy down upon lounge In his
own or in some neiRhboring law Office and
was heard TO say, he wished be never would
get up. Standing by his bier and casting a
glance at his career, one can
not but be filed with melancholy. Whisky
Whisky Had 1t not been for whisky
George q. Cowart, with his fine ability, his
genial manner and his great big heart
might have stood high at the bar and in
society in this city. His life and his death,
preach an eloque mt sermon. May the Al
mighty ju6ge preceive extenuating circum-
stances in his case.

CATS VS.. DOGS.

That cats do hold concerts occasionally
and preambulate the back fences and climb
the shed roofs and raise cain generally we
cheerfully grant not alone from our own
experience but from undoubted newspaper
authority. From earliest tradition hus-
bands have thrown everything throwable
that their wives have laying around loose and
wives have been known to throw their hus-
bands boots and even their loaded pistol
loads at the feline serenaders. Some real
old people have had so many cat serenades
that il has become second nature with them
and keep full stock missiles in the house
for noctornal catcrwauls. We are not
writing up any new exploits in the cat line,
not we, the whole field has long ago been
covered and the cat orchestra of to-day is
precisely the same that it was in the days of
Lord Worthington when a full mouthed
cat turned him back to the gates of London.
It's ours we're after now, another branch of
household pests that have just been on the
rampage and o. which we have TO speak.
Wednesday night there congregated on
Douglas avenue full brigade of dogs from
the woody poodle up through
the 'yellar dog grades to the
erect and stately newfoundland arestocrat.
They rallied in front of the European hotel
as for dress parade. They howled, snarled
and taught, sometimes all at once and piled
up, mixed valor and cowardice until the
massive brick structures on each side Of the
street echoed back again the eternal din of
bow, wow,wow. The children's hair stood
on end and the small boy got up to see if
Towser was holding his own in the fight.
The people along that street spoke words
not laid down in Webster's unabridged or
classified in polite literature with the same
combination they put TO them and still the
dogs held high carnival and made night
spotted with the racket. Several staid citi-
zens of that locality are perfectly Mortified
at the CANNES and their profane neighbors
for the way they carried on. At what time
the free entertainment ceased we are unab,a
TO state but from the eternal fitness of thisgs
their throsts gave out first and ended the
benefit. Talk about cats, why theI are
tame in comnarison

INDIAN WAR RELIC.

A reporter Of the EAGLE was shown yes
terday knife that has history. Ii is the
scslping knife Of Little Crow who was
killed by his tribe in 1862, and WAS taken
from his body q. the time he was shot and
hung by his own tribe after the New Ulm
massacre in Minnesota in 1862 1t will be
remembered that Little Crow, chief of the
Sioux, opposed the departure of his tribe
from the reservation and in his opposition
pursued fragment Of the tribe and with
his own hands killed thirty-eight women and
children, cutting their threats with the iden-
tica! knife we on yesterday had in our
hands. Afterwards his whole tribe turned
against him and shot and hung him, ending
the life OF one of the most coId-blooded
monsters that has ever existed in the history
Of Indian warfare. The knife we were shown
is the property of Professor Kirby of Ala
Douglas avenue, who has its authenticated
history from the day of the tragic death of
its owner.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.

Yesterday evening three young ladies,
Miss Belle Guthrie and her sister and Miss
Fsrnum, were riding down Topeka avenue
in buggy when their horse got frightened
and ran away with them down the avenue.
When they reached Second street at the
turn of the corner the buggy turned over
and the young ladies were thrown violently
to the ground, injuring each Of them, but
cutting the face of Miss Belle quite badly.
To say that they were badly frightened does
not express it; they were almost paralyzed
with fright. They were helped up and
taken to their homes, and their injuries were
not alarming, but severe. The horse, at the
time the buggy turned over,go thrown down
and all lay in the road together. 1t was q
complete smash-up.

AnANcIENT LITERARY RELIC.

A reporter Of the EAGIy was shown q
book published by johnson in London in
1862 which is in good state of preserve
ton. 1t is John Bunyon's first work, hav-
ing been written by the afterwards great
author of Pilgrims Progress. In it are al
lusions TO anticipated books which came
from the greatest of all religious English
authors. The work which we allude to is
the property of Prof s. w. Kirby, 414
Douglas avenue, and the title Of which is,
The Barren Fig Tree. or the Doom and
Downfall of the Fruitless Professor" 1t
has all the characteristics of youthful
author and is more of quoted selection
from Divine teaching and clearly shows the
bent of the young authors mind at this
early age of his life that was destined to fur
nish posterity with the most vivid illustra-
ton of Christian character in the English
language. The publication alluded to was
without doubt the first and it appeared long
after Bunyan's other works became famous.

PAYING DIRT.

Mr.. George E. Morgan, of Waco town
ship, was in town yesterday and showed an
EAGLE reporter $40 gold piece thst looked
as if it had been lying out somewhere.
"What do you think of land that will raise
that sort of a CROP" said Mr.. Morgan. In
reply TO an inquiry he said he had found
the money on his farm. ~ got some trees
from the Lee Summit nursery last spring
and set them out While hauling the dirt
thus dug out and putting it about the roots
of the trees, found silver half dollar.
Soon after, my father in working among the
dirt found another, and about week after l
found a silver dollar. The other day in
digging and raking among that same dirt
found this $40 gold piece. don't know
how TO account for it but have a notion to
dig around there some more when get
time. | cannot conceive how it got there.
