Tn. Wa, On .he IoIst. Continue.

When woman buckles on her armour
and sallies out on a war path. with blood in
her eye, you can bet your bottom dollar that
more sheol will be stirred up in fifteen min
utes than can be put down in fifteen days:
more especially is this SO when it comes u a
War on the joints Is it not written that the
salvation army have marched triumphantly
through q sea of busted barrels and smashed
decaniers like Kansas cyclone, and have
they not smitten the enemy with gospel hyns
and prayer books. These reflections arise
from the fact that Mrs. somebody APP
pears at the bar Of Justice Thomas court AS
prosecuting witness and. prosecutor Of q
score Of disgruntled jointist whom she has
impaled on the point of her salvation lance.
r. ". Randall, Of Mt. Hope, also enters
the lists in the crusade, and appears in court
ss q champion of the constitutional la . and
the supplemental acts of the legis-
lature TO enforce it. He and
the aforementioned salvaiionist
have brought TO the bar Of the court four
teen of the enemy and have warrants for
eight m.ore. The county attorney seems
dornc on in this maeistrom OF the crusade
with results that are satisfactory in fnan-
cisl consideration.
To enumerste the cases that have been be-
fore the courts of the last two days is Diff
cult, for the defendants appear under the
names Of John Doe and Richard Roe. Up
to last night eight defendants had plead
guilty in Justice Walkers court, who all
paid up the costs and the fines; one defend
ant was committed in default Of payment of
costs; one case was continued to Monday
and warrants issued for number OF others
One man who appeared charged with a
violation Of the prohibition law, vas bar
keeper, and being fined went TO his en-
ployer and asked him TO help him out of
his trouble, but that fellow said it wasn't his
fight and offered no assistance in the matter.
Then the bar keeper got on his
muscle and had his employer arrested, too.
He publicly declared that he would sell no
more, but would live N the city, and so long
as he lived would war on the traffic and
Joined the staff of the crusaders The last
the reporter heard of the affair an effort was
being made to spike his guns by paying his
fine.
Justice Thomas had three cases yesterday
and has out number Of warrants for more
and it may be said that the war has COM
menced in real earnest.
Eleven cases have been tried with S3S5
costs collected, Of which the county attor-
ney gets $275; Sl,l0O in fines assessed
and combined penalty of $50 days in the
county Jail. An estimate of the number
now 10 be tried will net as much more when
brought to termination. Little else has
been done in the justices courts.

THE FIRST TRAIN,

Last evening the editor Of the EAGLE re-
ceived An invitation from the manager, chief
engineer and board of directors to take ride
over the Wichita and Colorado on the first
train ever moved over its track Repairing
to the depot We found General Manager
Miller's special car linked on to the Eagle
engine and away we went. The ride was
not long one bu: highly gratifying one
more proud pleasure in it than there
could be in ride over the Baltimore and
Ohio or Pennsylvania from end to end.
The track is being put down in new fifty
six pound steel rails, jointed with the heavy
angle bar and laid on hewn oak ties-in
regular trunk line style. From expressions
made we were satisfied that every member of
the party were just as proud of the fact Of
that first ride over the Eagle line as was the
writer. II meant and comprehended much
of the past and for the future.

HOMEMADE WINE.


OF late We have been favored with bottles
of homemade wine from five diferen,
friends, grown from grapes of their own re-
spective raising, but no two kinds were any
thing alike in favor or color. which fac;
suggests entire different treatment of the
grape juice by different PARTIES. One sam
pie had body enough to intoxicate, ifenongh
of it should be drank, and tasted exactly
like sherry. The others were light table
wines with scarcely any alcohol developed.
As many ladies are making homemade
wine for culinary and sick room purposes,
we wish that somebody who is posted would
by next summer give us for publication the
most approved formulas or treatments. Mrs.
J. II. Shields sent US small bottle yesterday
of wine which she made this fall, which was
the brightest ruby in color, and as sweet as
the Angelica Of California, for which she
will accep. thanks
