A MEAN ACT

The pathetic little story told in the EAGLE
few days since of bAby's dog and the cruel
poisoner, recalls another sacriligicus act OF
a vandsl who deprived little boy of his
daily companion by administering fatal
drug. This little boy, a sickly child, de-
prived of the pleasure of playing with rough
er children, his sensitive, delicate nature
held him aloof firm his mates and be spent
many hours with his favorite companion, q
beautiful shepherd dog, and gently and
kindly stole off to some favorite spot TO muse
alone in childlcss innocence, anmindful of
the rugged world that stronger boys take
delight in. Apart from bis own household
he was motherless-his little, faithful,
gsmboling dog was his joy, companion and
friend. But his sorrow came, the brain OF a
hesrtless wretch and the hand Of brute,
conceived and slew the dear, bright, little
dog, and rent the sensitive heart of a noble
little boy. A brute. bordering on the human
is noble. but the human, bordering on the
brute, is an abomination and hateful TO man.

AMoNuMENr TO GRANT,

To the Editor OF the Eagle
No man who attended the "Inter-State
Giant Monument" meeting at Fort Leav-
enworth yesterday, but left there convinced
that the conception of erecting monument
to Grant was worthy of the earnest and
untiring efforts Of every lover Of the grand
old hero, whose memory will live until tie
nations are no more, and should meet with
success. Schemes for erecting monuments
east of the Alleghenies, are now being set
on foot and will be vigorously prosecuted.

The conception of erecting monument
70 Grant on the reservation ut Fl. Leaven-
worth by donations from Western people
alone, is grand one and met the hearty ap-
proval Of all present. Preliminary steps
were taken to perfect an organization with
out cumbersome machinery, and that could
get to work at once, and on next Saturday
it is hoped that enough money will be raised
in the states Of Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska,
Kansas and Colorado to warrant the man.
ayers in commencing this work on q scale
commensurate with the greatness of the OBJ
ject and the greatness of tie states
participating therein. Reared on Kan
sas soil, on the only real
picturesque spot within its borders, Kansans
should vie with each other in crowding in
contributions that will mike the enterprise
a grand success from the start. There is
nothing small in the conception of this idea.
1t is no Grand Army enterprise nor church
scheme. Everybody without regard to

EMANCIPATION.

The emancipation celebration yesterday
was in every respect success. A large
number of prominent colored people from
other parts Of the state participated and
there were a few eminent colored speakers
from other states The celebration was d.
vided into two parts, one holding forth at
Bayley's park and the other at Carey's park.
Hon. II. C. Sluss was the orator of the oc-
casion at Bayiey's park, who delivered one
Of his ablest addresses. The day
WIS spent in various amuse-
ments. A band of music was ut esch park
all day. At Carey's park Rev. ]. w. Brow
der, of Topeka, delivered the Grafton, and
Mrs. Anderson also spoke. A game of base
ball was played and other amusements en-
lvened the day.
A musical concert was held at the rink
last night happily winding up the pro-
gramme Of the day. 1t is unnecessary to
say that the music and song was of high
order Of melody, for that is q characteristic
Of the race. Their rich, full melodious
voices raised in beautiful fullness, and the
nations airs of freedom were rendered in an
aesthetic manner. The assemblage at the
rink theater was one of decorous and refined
people, well-dressed and showing the evil
dences ola prosperous people and credit
to tie colored people of the city.

MAR1IlA A. .PEASE
Discharged by the Examining Mag
istrate.

After u full and thorough investigation Of
the charge of murder by poison the case
ends by release from custody. Yesterday
the taking of evidence in this case was re-
sumed on the part of the prosecution and
the evidence taken was about the same char
acter and relating to the same points drawn
out on the first day of trial. No evidence
was offered by the defense after the state
closed and the state and defense went into
the argument of the case, the first knowing
they had produced all the evidence obtain
able and the latter relying on its insufficient
cy to raise the presumption of guilt
The arguments on both sides were logical,
forcible and lucid. The defense was ably
conducted throughout and all possible
points were elucidated BY the cross examin-
alton. The prosecution was untiring in
bringing large array of witnesses to prsve
everything at all barring on the case. The
worst evidence produced by the prosecution
was that of John T. Brickel, which in the
manner ofits delivery was the most essential
evidence adduced. He was the boy en-
ployed in the house, aged fifteen years, and
his evidence showed that Mr.. Pease got up
and coughed and that Mrs. Pease got up
also and asked him if she should build fire
and produce smoke for him to inhale.
This the boy heard him decline and ask for
whisky. His testimony also showed that
Mrs. Pease was in the habit of getting up
and administering to him when he was sick
and thst she was always ready to help him
when sick. 1t was the prevailing opinion
Of bystanders that this boys testimony
which was in its very nature thruthful and
convincing, was the turning point in the
case.
Justice Thomas apparently took the same
view Of the matter and in rendering his de-
cislon based his judgment on the improbs-
bility of the defendant proposing remedy
that had no harm in it when she intended To
administer poison; and that when she gave
him the poison it was at bis request for
whisky. The opinion is divided ~ t. the
actual guilt or innocence of the defendant,
but all concur in saying that the decision
was just one under the law. The trial
throughout excited the interest of large
number Of citizens both in the city and from
the vicinity of the neigbborhood in which it
occurred.
