old man lay there on his bed, and as he
looked wistfully into the face of every
conner apparently trying to discover a
friendly face, he did not appear to have
ever been avicious person, and as for insan-
ity, he is insane just as we all will be when
we are seventy-eight years old and sick.
To the Editor of the Eagle
| see in this mornings issue statement
mayor and council at their last nights
session, that the sole cause of the delay in
getting water on the fire was, that the water
works company, in placing the hydrant had
put in plug one and one-half inch larger
than the wrench furnished the brigade The
party making such statement must be a fool
or q knave As 10 the wrench know moth
ing, and care less. In reference to the INV
drant in question, will say the plug as re-
ferred TO above Is Just the same size as all
other hydrants in the city, and that they ar.
all of uniform and exact SIZE and can be
opened or closed with any ordinary wrench
opening one inch. provided the individual
handling the wrench ha, any brains. and
they are not Located wherr u j. some times
said tins long cared lrurin. ninal, are.

The Santa F. railroad, alive to the neces-
sity Of sanitary measures along the track in
the city, has hauled train load of sand and
filed up the holes where water stood \
number of holes that were made in grading
the line of the Frisco ia the north part Of
town, ARE full of stagnant water and the people |
living in that vicinity are loud in their muir
mars, and think the COMPANY ought to be |
made TO remedy the matter. Ii should be |
borne in mind, however, that when the road |
was built, there was no city in these parts,
and those who bought property there since |
did so knowing how It WAS. The railroad |
company, we imagine, can hardly be ex-
pected to remedy the matter now. The city |
will probably have TO attend to it.
George Matthews, of this city, if nothing
".A~ iiiiii ~ AhieS VII Ut
pendence, Mo-, last evening. Our friend |
George has, after all these years of weary |
waiting and postponing entered upon life |
which holds something better than splendor, |
more precious than any mere material or
tangible wealth if he will but grasp if. and |
that is true earthly happiness which affords |
content. Ii is life of the sweetest friend |
ship, the softest powers, and the most de-
lightful and boundless confidence; and as
We know of no one more deserving, we con-
graduate him and his fair bride with all our
heart.
\ gentleman of this city who is well ac-
quainted with old DIR. Blaise, and who
knows lots of circumstances back of this |
affair with his daughter. said to an EAGLE
reporter yesterday that his conclusions in
the case were just, and that if We were &C
quaInted with all the surroundings. we
might put it stronger. He thought it would
be unsafe TO give the custody of the girl to
the old man again. There is little danger
Of that. however as the girl emphatically
declared that she would rather die than 20
back 10 the house again.
Street Commissioner Stone was around
among the alleys and lanes yesterday, look
ing up stagnant pools and devising plans for
getting rid of them. He SAYS if he can get a
months good weather there will be very
ew TO complain of. He says all sink holes
md stagnant pools inimical to the health Of
he city must go, and he VIII fight it out on
hat line if it takes all summer.
The new smoke stack lately put up on the
ID Custom mill on Douglas avenue, was
ound lying on the roof yesterday morning.
As one of the guys that holds it up was
OUnd unlocked, il was thought that some
,ovs were swinging upon the guys and their .
-ibration caused the hooks To become de-
ached, which LEFT the smokcstack unsup-
ported and down she came.
