The Early Fly.

If the origin of all things is q mys-
terry, the genesis of the early hy is q
stiH greater one. Nor is this statement
antagonized by an ancient and we'll
worn notion that the whole is greater
than any of its parts-or, if it is. then
so much the worse for the old axiom.
1T is easy enough to see how the origin
of existence in general should be q
mystery. Existence in general is some
thing large and vague, and it is not
specially Notifying TO confess ones
ignorance in regard to the origin Of
some tremendous generality. But the
fy-the early fly in particulars not
general, nor vague, nor large. He is
particuiar-in mis- attentions, if not in
mis- diet-and very'defuite, and small
1t is therefore the more wonderful that
he should spring into existence out of
apparent nothingness. But that is
what he does. Nobody knows whence
he comes. but on the first really warm
day he is here and ready for business.
He never has any period of helpless in
fancy, either. He begins full-grown
and self-reliant. He clings. to be sure.
but it is not for support. We never yet
heard of iy who was not fully able
to support himself. And yet he soon
becomes insupportable.
But to return to his origin. It is the
general belief of children that he grows
on window panes. and we do not know
that any better theory has been devised.
That is where he makes his first ap-
appearance. at any rate. A manufact-
srer of window-glass who should patent
a process for making panes that would
not produce or nourish flies would make
q fortune out of it. We do not believe,
however. that such process is posi-
BILE. 1t seems to be an inherent and
essential property of window-panes to
produce flies. 1t certainly is an inhe-
rent and essential property of flies to
produce or aggravate pains. And yet,
strictly speaking, flies have no property
of their own They live altogether on
other peoples property. Perhaps that
is the reason that such persons as MIR.
Ferdinand Ward are sometimes called
''too fly" At all events, flies are very
expensive animals. The coming of the
early fly terrifies the housekeeper into
providing wire-screens for his doors and
windows, at q cost Of one hundred dol
lars or more. Ii necess;tateS the en-
shrouding Of chandeliers and picture
frames. When the swarm arrives in
force it is very hard on Shoes. The only
consolation possible is the reflection
that next November the fly Will have
gone almost as suddenly and mystic
riousiy as he came. Y Eaa and

The Language Of Umbrellas.

There is language of umbrellas as
of flowers. For instance, place your
umbrella in q rack and it will change
owners. To open it quickly in the
street means that somebody's eye is
going to be put out; to shut it, that q
hat or two is to be knocked oh. An
umbrella carried over . woman, the
man getting nothing but the drippings
of the rain, signifies oourtship. When s
man has the umbrella and the woman
the drippings it indicates marriage. To
punch your umbrella into a person and
then open it means IL dislike you" To
swing your umbrella over your head
signifies 81 am making a nuisance of
myself To trail your umbrella along
the foot-path means that the man he
hind you is thirsting for your blood. To
carry it at right giles under your arm
signifies that an eye is to be lost by the
man that follows you. To open an UNI
brella quickly, it is said, viii frighten
a mad bull. To put a cotton umbrella
by the side of a silk one signifies "Ex-
change is not robbery" To purchase
an umbrella means 81 am not not
smart, but honest" To lend an um-
brella indicates al am fool" To re-
turn an umbrella means-wefl, never
mind what it means, nobody ever does
that. To turn an umbrella ia a gust of
wind presages profanity. To carry your
umbrella in case signifies il is a shah
by one. To carry an umbrella just high
high enough to tear out meH's eyes and
knock off mems hats signifies Il am a
woman" To press m umbrella On

We must admit, and frankly, that we are
opposed to anything like sectional or re-
tal,atory fight We want to see the road 90
from West Wichita, CT the Fifth ward,
where the company desire to 60 from. We
want to see the machine shops, the packing
houses, and the cattle yards, etc, etc, on
the west side of the river where
they naturally belong, and we sincerely hope
that the people of that ward and that the
property holders Of Delano township, who
were called upon for no aid, will see it to
their interest to take hold of the matter in
such way - to get the necessary reduc-
ton, and that speedily-immediately. Of
course we can not urge, or even suggest,
that men who are willing to subscribe for
ono scheme should also subscribe for the
other. We only appreciate most keenly the
value Of time and the possibility of render
ing null the hard, perple1ing work of many
months.
Wichita has never failed in the past, and
she surely will not fail in this instance,
where the prize is within such easy grasp.
1t is but proper to say that Chief Engineer
Woods viii put on his corps to-day to test
the feasibility Of running out from the north
end Of the town instead of from the Fifth
ward. The line will be run from the upper
end Of Wichita street across to the corner Of
Park township and to the center of that
township. where it strikes the present sur
vey at township Is.

Four Citizens OF Wichita 60 Bail for One OF

lard and wife having gone bail for hi. sp-
pearsnce.
This is one Of the most disgrsceful acts
that have blackened the name of Wichita, q
bold notice to the people Of this city that
thieves ana murderers cannot be punished.
Some time ago Jim Creighton and his
brother were charged by officers here with
having been connected with burglars in
other places themselves, and many limited
that Jim Creighton was the planner Of the
burglaries committed in this city, and
his present action gives strong
color TO this view Of the matter, but what
about the other bailees, are they in the
gangs II looks that way. No one ever
suspected that John Sullard was connected
in any way with thieves. Is itpossible that
he and his wife and Dave Seibert are in the
gang. These men were caught in the very
act and the police declare they can be con-
victed. The citizens Of Wichita should rise
up and demand an investigation of this mat
ter, and if these parties arc found to be con-
nected with gang of thieves they should be
dealt with accordingly. Is this man rela-
i've of any of them. It appears not. Then
Is it not reasonable to suppose that they
we're anxious to get him away lest he might
connect them with the gang. That is the
most reasonable construction of their action

THIEVES MUST GO.
Marshal ] m Cairns Talk. From tn. shoulde

Marshal m Cairns Talks From the Shoulder.
An FAGLE reporter met Marshal Cairns
yestesday, who, in answer to question
said: ''Yes, saw your article in the EAGLE
yesterday in reference to bailing that burg
lar out of Jail, ant / guess you are onto the
right racket Ever since these fellows were
caught at the fremont, the burglars have
all been away from the city, but now they
are returning and will all be here in day or
two, when they expect 10 organize series Of
jobs in all Of the towns for Forty or fifty
miles around. This man, who was released
on bail, was needed to do work and he had
to be released. OF course the gang will put
up the bail when he skips out. / don't
think John Sullard is connected with the
gang, but since ne has been busted up in
his business he has q sort Of hatred of law
and was, unsuspectingly, led into going this
fellows bail.
at has been a hard job to bag
any of these fellows with the chances VIC
have, but have been perfecting plan by
which can rake some of them in il they At
tempt any job here. / am onto nearly all
of them except when a new crowd comes in,
which is often, but the trouble is to catch
any of them in the act, TO fasten ths guilt
upon them. They seem to have two or
three headquarters, or bases of operation;
don't mean two in this city, but two or
three in the state, and they change of gangs
when they become too we'll known; so that
it is not SO easy as one might suspect to
catch them; but I promise you that things
are so liked that If they do any work here
there will be lively times. It would be well
for you to warn the surrounding towns to be
on the lookout. for the gang 10 gathering
here to make arrangements for raid. am
getting things in sbspe SO that can make it
SO hot for some of them that this city will
be rid Of their presence"
The reporter during the day learned from
private source that detective has follow
ed some Of the gang here and will follow
them until they are caught to rights. The
gentleman who contributed this Informs
ton requested the reporter not to "giye It
away" but the scribe is dreadful Door
hand at keeping secrets when the people are
thirsting for news.

THE THIEF BROUGHT BACK

Sheriff Fisher arrived home yesterday
morning from Chicago with his prisoner
John Cohs, who it is alleged got away with
$500 at the Star laundry in this city somt
time ago. He declares that he didn't gel
5000, only S555 and three Canadian quar-
tiers, and is quite indignant at being over
charged in the matter. The sheriff left an
other man in charge of him while in To.
peka and he got away and hid in q shock Of
corn, where he was finally caught by the
sheriff. Mr.. Fisher says he got him by the
leg in the corn shock and felt pretty good
over it.
He thinks the fellows brother, who lives
in Chicago, has most of the money.
The sheriff says the prisoner will plead
guilty, though he probably will kick on the
exact amount, but then that wont make
much difference. John says he would like
to have the job of taking him to the pen so
as to help to get even on the election bust
