THE FEDERAL BUILDING.

Now that the editor Of the EAGLE has
gone to Topeka, the Beacon will be in bad
way for copy. A short article in yesterdays
issue furnished our august neighbor last
evening with interesting matter for two
thirds of column around which he cut q
war dance, scalping knife in hand and pro-
ceeded to cut it up into mince meat. The
article referred to was on the location of the
Federal building and our irritable neiGhbor
over the way appears to be very badly hurt
because several gentlemen" called on the
editor Of the EAGLE to find out his opinion
touching the location. The editor
of the Beacon predicts terrible
clashing of interests and disappointment
of individuals and combinations" and ap-
pears to be terribly worried because the edi
tor of the EAGLE didn't define bis position
in the matter.
Don't be worried, neighbor. When be
returns he will no doubt help you out with
an ides upon which you can pounce and
write up column or so Of interesting mat
ter. OF course you would not pretend to
wear the ragged edge of your capacious
brain in a reply to anything penned by such
ordinary individuals as the local pencil
pushers OF the bird. However, We will sug
gest few subjects for your consideration
until the colonel returns.
Short articles on "non-partisan city adj
"hog culture" ''the price of
Dutch cheese" ''the practical workings of a
bonnet foundry" and the "utility of Me1i-
can dogs" would be quite interesting at this
time. You might also give short squib
about how to edit free lunch.

HOW TENNESSEE WAS SETTLED.

| There are are few men who have travelled
in greater number OF states stan j. l..
Hodge Of this city. No matter what state
one says he is from, the Judge can name the
principal town in the county where he says
he is from; can talk familiarity of the loca-
met an old neighbor.
Day before yesterday W.. Haynes of
the firm of Langenberg Bros. & Co, of St.
Louis, sat in the psrlor of the fremont, read
ing the Sunday morning EAGLE. Mr.. Haynes
is modest sort of young man in whose face
the stranger reads, "You can trust me-"
Judge Hodge came into the hotel on the &C.
casion referred to and being fayorably i'm
pressed with the young man, asked him what
state be was nativeof. Mr.. Haynes said he
was born In North Carolina. OF course the
Judge was acquainted in that state and in
the comfy where the young man was born.
The conversation that this fact elected be-
came quite interesting to a number of those
present. The two men talked of the leading
men of the state, of tar and tobacco, and so
on. The judge told how HE own father left
North Carolina and settled in Tennessee in
the year 1900. Mr.. Haynes asked him il he
knew how the first settlers happened to go
to Tennessee. After mature reflection the
Judge thought he didn't. "Well, then"
said the young man, 81 can tell you.
Away back in, about the year
1900. the people of North Carolina
had but few wagons, most of them using
sleds winter and summer. About that time
a trapper appeared in the western part of
the state with wagon and proceeded to
cross the mountains forming the western
boundary of the state. Quite a number Of
the people, who had never seen q wagon,
followed it to the top of the mountain, ex-
pecting TO see the hind wheels overtake the
foremost ones and run over them. When
the wagon came to the top OF the mountain
they expected to see catastrophe. They
thought the little wheels would never be
able to keep ahead of the big ones going
down the mountain slope; they followed
after it, expecting every moment to see the
fun, until they got away into what is now
the state of Tennessee. They were unable
to find their way back, owing to their limit
ed knowledge of the geography of the coun-
try. They were. therefore, compelled to
remain. and thus became the pioneer settlers
of Tennessee The pious-looking young
man proceeded to read the EAGLES Sunday
morning sermon, and Judge Hodge slipped
out to hunt up some old Tennessee friends.

A NEW RINK.

Roller skating is at present extremely pop
ular and is sweeping over the land until in
many localities it amounts to well nigh
craze. Some weeks ago q gentleman OF
wealth from Illinois, Mr.. G. H. Blackwelder,
came here on prospecting tour and saw.
Is he thought, an opening fsr q irst-class
roller skating rink. He resolved that if he
could secure q good location. that be would
erect such a building and prosecute such an
enterprise
Yesterday he purchased three lots, 751l4O
feet on Market street, but few steps south
from Douglas avenue, and joining the Peter
Getto business block.
The lots cost $4,000, and it is proposed to
at once break ground for brick building
that viii poYeF the entire space, and tia.
will cost $l06Od.
1t will be planned in the most modern
and approved style. and will be furnished in
the most perfect manner in every particular.
In short, It l. intended to be, and will be,
first class affair of the kind, and must prove
q great source Of satisfaction to the patrons
Of this popular amusement, besides being a
credit to the city.
1t is already leased to gentleman of
large experience in this business. and who is
person fully competent to give the great
est satisfaction to the public.
1t is intended to cater to tho better GLASS
of citizens, and will be conducted in such 3
gentsel and strict way As TO command the
confidence and the good will Of all good cit

WHAT CAN WOMEN pOp

We read not long ago an account Of IL
year-old girl in Canada who annually cut
her fathers crop of wheat and ten acres of
grass, while in the way Of amusement and
mental culture she "sat up with the clerk
of the dollar-store three nights in the week,
read seven continued stories in the weekly
family journal, attended four Sunday school
picnics, set the dog on twenty-nine tramps
and fell out of a cherry tree.
Apropos of this: A woman stopped in
this city last week who drove all the way
from Iowa with two small children, her OBJ
ject in coming here being to rent a farm
which she proposes to work herself, besides
taking care Of the bairns,the Oldest Of whom
is only four years. Yet some people imag
inc women are fit for nothing but to thump
the piano, lay around in hammocks, go
shopping, and fill up on ice cream and cara

CONWAY SPRINGS NOTES.

| CONWAY SPRINGS, HAS, March 3.
To the Editor OF the Eagle
General enthusiasm exists among the peo-
pie of Conway, Sumner and Eden town
ships over the encouraging outlook for
the Denver, Memphis and Atlantic railroad,
which, according to the latest reports, has
| as good as secured the aid asked for all along
the "kingman route" via Conway Springs.
Wherever the subject has been canvassed
the response IN its favor appears SO unani-
nous that there can only be one result to
the bond elections, and that will be, that the
subscriptions will be ordered to the required
amount of stock. and that We will have,
within the next eighteen months, another
fine trunk line road opening up to our fer
tile farms the commerce of the south and to
our business the trade of the west If the

To the Editor Of the Eagle,

Now that the wordy contest involving
personalities principally has subsidized, may
we venture to ask why there should be q
doubt as to whether We should have pure
water or not. Is it pertinent or imperti-
nent, should We mildly put the query as to
the effect Of pure water upon the human
system, or shall We guip il down in silence
relying on antidoies for relief! Our popu-
latien has grown to the good round figure
Of 1900; il is our fortune or misfortune TO
live in Wichita; We presume TO engage in
legitimate pursuits; We humbly seek to bet
ter the condition Of our families; many Of
our number have located here for the pur-
pose cf restoring health, and We feel tina; the
public should, ST least, have q voice in this
matter. Clearly the embargo in the Little
rivers channel effects our water supply. or
il does not Has it been examined
by those familiar with its condi-
ton before the dam Was built
Is the water above this dam purer than il is
below Was there q greater current be-
tween the dam and the mouth Of the river
before this portion Of the water WAS diverted
from its natural course The early settler
can give US the facts, which We ,rus, will
soon come out.
To say the wster is purified BY filtration
through the narrow wall of soft sand be-
tween the river and the well which supplies
our water works only betrsys the want Of
better logic; to say this siagnAn, water is
pure and healthful savors of imbeclli,y. II
by the means Of this dam we are to have .
poisonous supply of water, We conclude the
lives Of our people are secondary in the
eyes of our city council to the success Of
dividend paving investment, Of few indi-
viduals The very fact Of maintaining this
nuisance at SO grea: risk is beyond cred
ence, and we submit that the pure proud
owners of this property will hardly allsy
public clamor with rhyme or satire but that
tie facts viii all b known and the rsnedy
applied
