WICHITA STANDARD.

From Leotl, Wichita county, Kansas, was
received yesterday the first number of the
Standard, by c. :. Triplett, who for long
time was connected with the newspaper bus
mess at Marion Center. The Standard,
though published two hundred and fifty
miles northwest of this city, and within
forty miles Of the west line of the state, is a
very bright six column folio and filed with
the liveliest kind of local and other news.
The Standard SAYS that is magnificent
country. and its editor, whom We have
known for years as number one man,
SAYS that he is delighted with his surround
ings. Wichita county is on the line of the
Wichita X Colorado railroad and it may not
be to exceed two years before the business
men Of Leoti will be running down 10
Wichita city TO buy goods and TO shake
hands with the man who named thsir coun-
~ but who little dreamed that he would
ever live to read newspaper published
within il bounds We wish the Standard

overflow from Kansas City before she can

WINFIELD PROsPERINC.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
While the EAGLE is growing over the
boom and enterprise of Notwithstanding
her TO be the metropolis of the southwest,
we think, that We too, can claim some in
portance as thriving village at least. This
last month has seen more improvement in
Winfield than has been year before. We
are now to have city building or town hall.
The bonds were carried by handsome ma
jority, and the grounds purchased, and the
plans are being made. 1t is the intention Of
the council TO have the building completed
as early as possible. The lots purchased are
on Ninth avenue, three blocks east of Main
street. There is at the present writing eight
business houses in course of erection on
Main street and as many more talked of.
Capt. Couch of Oklahoma fame, was in
the city yester day. He is loud in his praises
of the coveted country, and is confident that
the time is near when the boomers will be
permitted to settle it. Every day sees dozens
of teams loaded with men. women and child
ren, on their wry to Oklahoma.
Property in Winfield is increasing in
value at a rapid rate. Mr.. A. II. Doane
sold corner lot on Main and Ninth streets
for $1,000. He paid 500 for it six years
ago.
Very little corn is being brought in at
present, on account of low prices. Farmers
are holding their corn expecting better
prices about the holidays. Hogs have gone
up a little in price in the last few days On
Saturday they were worth $3.12! per hum
dred
The funeral of uncle Billy Moore, Sunday,
was largely attended. The deceased was one
of Cowley's pioneers and was respected by
all who knew him.
We are having beautiful weather, and
mechanics and outdoor laborers are taking
advantage of it, it is, indeed, blessing.
There being no work in the early summer
the late fall enables him to prepare for the
coming winter. The longer one lives in his
sunny Kansas, the more person feels in
love with it, this being the second year for
the winter in his state, he is beginning to
think she is indeed the land of sunshine
the garden of the west. c.

WICHITA POSTOFFICE

In these days Of Shelleys and Hydes and
other Democratic postmasters, there is much
discomfort at Wichita over the retention of
our amicable contemporary, Mr.. Murdock.
II is feared that the cares of attending to the
office and editing n Republican newspaper
are too severely taxing Mr.. Murdoch
health. In the interest Of his family Mr..
Murdoch ought to be allowed to resign
Kansas City Times.
The editing of such a Republican news
paper as the EAGLE is little taxing, to be
sure; but, the only complaint we have hear
comes from the Kansas City newspapers.
1t Is Kansas City and not Wichita that is
sick OF EurGock. The gentle DIR. Munford's
syrnpathies become tolerably attenuated by
the time they reach Wichita. and if there is
any sympathy TO be siuandered on any
body's family, we beg leave TO suggest the
most likely candidate for that article Is the
Times family, rather than that of the
EAGLES Still, We are not stuffed up with
this matter. fthe Democracy of Wichita
will ask US TO resign, in consideration Of the
feelings OF our Missouri friends, we stand
ready to do SO. We can imagine no greater
or more humiliatihg sacrifice than that Of a
Republican resigning his place at the sug-
gestion Of Missouri Democrat.

FRENCH LANGUAGE

| Taught by a Frenchman.
Mr.. Edmond dAlbenas having just To-
Gated in Wichita proposes to devote his
time to the teaching of the French language.
He does not propose to teach it in so many
lessons to enable one to join Cooks Euro

ment vous porter vous" etc, but he intends
to do it Systematically and conscientiously.
Being Frenchman and graduate of the
college of Toulouse, his pupils may rest as
sured of pure and correct pronunciation.
His arrangements will be perfected on or
about December LIST. He will then give his
lessons either at his home, 236 South To-
peKa avenue, or at the pupils residences. If

See the tumb,e-down distressed look on
everything. This is the habitation of the
kind of farmer who spends rainy days in the
corner grocery. The pig-pen and the wood
pile are in the front yard, only our space is
not large enough to show them. He loses
half his lambs every year for want of proper
shelter. His chickens roost anywhere and
everywhere, and freeze their toes off in
winter because they never had hen house.
His harrows, plows and other farm nipple
ments stay out in the weather year after
year. and rot and rust. He loses by sheer
waste every year enough to dress himself
and his wife and children handsomely. But
he has not had whole new suit of clothes
since he was married. With his long hair,
his old coat, dingy skin and tobacco drip
ping jaws, he himself looks for all the world
like the picture of his house.
There is not flower or blade of grass
about the mansion. The nasty swill barrel
stands by the door year after year. There
are grease stains under the window and the
roof leaks His scythe stays just where you
see it, in the old apple tree from one sum
mer to the next He never has time to mend
fence or broken door, or put a floor in his
stable. His cows-poor things-stand all
drawn up in a heap outdoors In the freezing
sleet of winter. His family don't have milk
or butter to use in winter, because somehow
pears like the cows dry up. Pork and hon.
my is their steady diet. But this same agri-
culturist has time TO spend all election day
in town, attend every sale in the county and
toast his Sims and spin yarns by the hour
and spit on the stove at the post Office. This
style of farmer ''never had no luck"

rashions ~ rurnishings.

For country houses light and airy lace and
muslin curtains are again the pretty style.
Madras and Syrian hangings for walls and
windows are popular These are real or
imitation fabrics from the regions their
names indicate. They come in yellow,
dusky red and cream stripes, either across OF
up and down. The fabric of one kind OF
Madras cloth is so thin that 1t is like grena-
dine. This is embroidered with silk in delicate
coiors. There is a very gorgeous hanging
called the Nile neutrality-suspicious. because that
was what Cleopatra used to shade her com
plexion in the voyage down the Nile. 1t is
sumptuous enough for that, at any rate. 1t
is made in cross stripes of Madras cloth and
chenille in most dazzling colors. There is
also light cross stripe Of gold thread. For
rooms with mattings on the floor comes a
Japan curtain of straw-colored jute with
stripes and bands in dusky reds and browns.
These are now the fashionable colors in
everything, it seems. The Japan curtain is
edged with network and tassels. Light
oriental silks are also used for hangings
The most expensive of the fashionable cur
tains are of Russia lace. One of them costs
as high as $780, Figured Swiss muslin cur
tains are as popular as they are artistic.
The graceful and airy willow and white
wood furniture is the proper thing for sun2-
mer cottages. 1t is pretty, indeed, all the
year around.
