The pharmacy law does not take
effect TIL on or after its publication in
the statutes, which books will not be
issued by the state printer for some
time yet J. T. Allen, of this city
criticises some portions Of the law
quite severely. II some respects it il
the most evil and pernicious ever
passed by the Kansas legislature, and
this through the omissions rather than
from any clause within the law. II
provides for board of five pharma-
ci-ts. who take their oath of Office and
are then turned loose upon the state in
a manner that is surprising. They
collect fees from druggists and their
clerks, the money being at their own

RAILROAD STRIKES.
A Philosophical View from an Out
slider.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
The great strike among the railroad
operatives of this country is now be.
ing discussed by the newspapers, and
all classes Of people are sympathizing
with the strikers IL does not require
much charity for us all to wish the
RAILROAD operatives may receive good
wages. 1t is convenient for the men
and their families to have plenty OF
money to spend, and it helps the BUSH
ness of the various towns where they
reside. Ii i my opinion that these
strikes will ultimately injure the Ia
boring men more than anyone else
and A. about all of us belong 10 that
class. the question becomes of gen.
eral interest. The whole people of
Kansas are interested in the question
of transportation, being located in the
centre of This country, and conse-
quently farther from the seaboard
markets than most of the other states.
While the people of Kansas are ex-
pressing sympathy for these strikers,
we must not forget that increase of ex-
penscs for the men who operate rail-
reads means increase of rates for
transportation. The railroads must
earn the money 10 pay their
men and keep their road
and machinery in repair, and
pay taxes aud some interest on their
money. The people of Kansas are to-
day trying 10 hold both ends of the
string IN this railroad question. Now
let Us be honest with ourselves and
the railroad companies. To-day our
governor i trying 10 induce the rail-
roads To compromise with the strik-
ers. while the state of Kansas has a
railroad commission SAYING, this much
only shall the road earn and no more.
If the men who operate the roads are
left to say what their wages shall be,
and the people who furnish the arti-
cles for transportation, shall, through
the state legislature, set the price of
that transportation, what is TO be-
come of the railroad companies? Do
yon suppose that YOU could run pea
nut stand successfully without having
something To saw about what you paw
for peanuts, and what you sell them
for. Then how en- railroad COM
panies run their roads successfully
unless they can have something TO saw
about their out 90 and income. The
people are wrong when they say that
competition shall not regulate railroad
freigLts. and the strikers are wrong
when ;hey say the price of labor shall
not be governed by supply and de-
mand,. Ofcourse the railroad CON-
paniesare mean. They won't give
YOU car until they get ready and
they sometimes charge John Jones
more than they do Tom
Smith for shipping the same
amount of freight the same distance.
They haven't got any souls 10 save.
That is the reason that the honest
people sometimes put 10000 pounds Of
freight in their cars and bill il 1900,
and claim fifty dollars for twenty
dollar COW that the engine runs over,
and vote for member of the icgisla-
ture who viii reduce the rates on rail
roads enormously unless the company
whaeks up. and remain a cripple for
two wears aud claim $40, coo damages

for an injury received ON . railroad
that would not be considered serious
il received anywhere else. You see,
railroads having no soul to save must
be punished as they 60 along. but in
striking them strikers should hit with
strict reference to the law of action
and reaction and not batter up their
own fists too much.

A PLEASANT TIME

Editor Register:-On last Friday,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Travis were cat
home" to their many friends, aud by
Z p. m. their parlors were filled. We
being rather retieent, our host appeared
in our midst and said "Now ladies and
gentlemen want you to have just the
best time possible. Do not be back
ward, but have all the fun you can"
And to say we enjoyed ourselves splen-
didly is putting it in a mild form.
Social amusement, interspersed with
music, was the order of the evening,
and mirth and pleasure reigned SUI
preme. AT 10 p. m. supper was an
nounced and we adjourned to the din
ing room where we found table laden
with the good substantials and delica-
cies of life. Then our jovial host and
hostess feasted us until each one left
thinking, if always feel as I do now
l shall never want anything more to
eat. In the parlor again all enjoyed
themselves for some time, then we
heard someone exclaim, "this room is
so warm" 1t was soon explained.
Henry had heated it to fourth of July
temperature that his ice cream might
be in order. So with ice cream and
cake, we were again refreshed. 1t was
a happy and long-to-be-remembered
evening; even Marion, the little baby
stayed up till the "wee sma" hours
and acted prominent part in the last
charade. BABYHOOD.

TEAM DROWNED.

An accident that came near having
a fatal termination, occurred here the
first of last week. Mr.. Huff and a
young lady, on their way to lola, came
to the ford on Big creek, known as the
Howerton crossing, and he, not being
familiar With the1ocality, drove in,
thinking it wassafe. He had gone but
a short distance when a cake of float
ing ice struck his horses, knocking
them off of their feet and in the fall
one OF them got ITS head under the
tongue and drowned almost instantly.
The other one kept rearing and plung-
ing, making desperate fight for its
life. 1t required all OF Mr.. Huff's eff
forts to save his own and the young
lady's life. They finally succeeded in
getting hold of some willows and with
the aid of young man, who heard
the noise made by the horses, were
both rescued unhurt, bdt thoroughly
chilled and frightened and thankful
