HOW TO WIN.

In the world that lies before yon
There is much tor you to win:
But beforehand you must conquer
Foes without and toes within.
And now your tasks can rout you,
Then, " hen life'> real battle call,
VIII you, in their heat ard struggle
Victor stand, or vanquished fall:
Can you hope for bright successes
II you're always sailing now?
DO vou think defeats will help to
Weave the laurel round your brow:
lust as little s.raws can tell US
From which side the b:cczcs blow,
So the way you work at tr''lcs
Win your perseverance show.
Never sax ''':,. fate against you;
That ,ot. caHnn. ,couquor luck;
There is ur such thing as either
All depends on work and pluck.
lust YOU be resolved to concuor,
Never mind how tough the fray;.
Put Your hands aud brains in motion,
And then vii! surely gain the day.

THE CITY LIBRARY.

To the Editor OF the Daily EaEie
The writer he'd something to do in plan
ming and perfecting the organization of the
library, and his enthusiasm for its success
has not died out. The idea was TO make it
popular and the institution of the city An
act of the legislature was passed authorizing
tho city council to appropriate $1,000 to buy
a lot and put up building for the library.
provided the citizens would raise II like
amount by private donation. Twelve hun
scribed. At that time property was cheap,
and if lot had been purchased and a small
building erected il would have furnished
nucleus from which great library
could by this time have been running. But
the plan was not popular, and through the
Vaccinations of Jake Balderston and Capt
White the whole thing was handed over TO
Che ladies 10 be sustained by sums
To- be derived from fairs. balls, etc. But the
idea generally prevailed that the thing was
run in the interest of a select few, and the
efforts of the ladies were not well pa;ronized.
However there has been a gradual. very
gradual, and ! am glad 10 note substantial
growth of the institution, and its age entities
If to some respect.
The organization could be improved. and
would suggest that a new association be
formed, on popular basis; the capital stock
TO be divided into shares Of $40 each made
transferable so that each shareholder will
own a specific interest in the property.
There Gan still be life and annual member
ships.
Then lie; the old library turn over it,

AN OUTRAGE

A crazy crank has been hanging about the

made himself especially obnoxious and an
noying to both guests and proprietors. lie
is filthy and repugnant. and makes himself
excessively so by his familiar and assuming
manner He was suffered as long as patience
would allow and then the police were no;i-
TED. The guardians Of the peace. failed 30
take him in tow and he was fired from the
house. He, nothing daunted, returned, when
the sheriff was notified and hs was placed in
jail over Thursday night. Yesterday he was
released, and wen; directly back TO the hotel.
where he Was last evening, again disgusting
everybody. Why is it that such persons
cannot be properly cared for by the authori-
ties, and provided for as decency and justice
would dictate.

THE FRISCO WRECK.


Further particulars of the wreck Oh the
Frisco road near Severy. mentioned in yes
terday's EAGLE. are TO the effect that no.
body was killed outright, although the IN all
agent and another man will probably die.
The train had just left the station and had
got under full speed going down gradr. At
that point Is an embankment Of considerable
hight, where the train left the track. The
cause was a broken aNel, and the whole
train, except the engine, left the track and
WAS precipitated down the embankrnent
and almost all demolished. The mail car
took fire and was consumed with It's con-
tents. Several rods OF the track was torn
up. which Wa the cause of DELAYING the
west bound train,
The mail agent, the news boy and pas
senger were severely injured, while num-
Der Of others were more or less seriously
hurt. One who visited the scene Of the ac-
cident yesterday said it is matter of great
surprise that a large number of the passen-
gers We're not killed and MANNED. II ap-
peared almost miraculous that so few were
seriously injured.
