got onto the racket and being less wary

dose of the perfume. They then became
desperate. and knowing they could not be
any worse off they pursued his skunSship

CHARITIES.

With q city hospital and benevolent home
together with the county poor house, char
ity ought to be so well organized in this city
and county as to prevent a recurrence of the
frauds charged TO have been practiced under
the promiscuous system of begging for indi-
gent persons.
In the case of the woman, Mrs Bennett,
whose husband deserted her and her six
children, and who were sent to their friends
last week at the expense of the county, 1t Is
charged that certain women went about the
city begging for her and collected consid-
cradle sum. although the woman reported
that she never 90. any OF it. Nobody should
give money to any beggar without satisfy
ing themselves that such persons were
authorized TO solicit. In the present organ
ized state of charitable work there can b'

having been requested to visit some familie
who were reported to be in distress, ant

a sAUER KRAUr WEDDING.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
\ notice of German wedding appeared
in the Beacon of Friday, Oct. 9th, which
my attention has just been called to and
which is an insult not only to Mr.. and Mrs
Sahm but TO every German in Wichita
The close Of the article reads as follows
Among the wedding presents to Nj. Sahm
was a fine barrel of sauer kraut." The
smart Aleck who wrote the above was evil
IDENTIFY hard up for a joke There was nc
kraut gwen at all, and ne knew il. This
thing of referring TO the Germans as sauer
kraut dutch, kraut eaters, etc, is about
played out Aud of all places on earth &
wedding notice Is the last place where such
a iling should occur. There is no excuse mol
pailiaiion for it and the sauer kraut Dutch
will remember the Beacon for its ungentle
manly and uncalled for insult to large and
respectable body OF citizens.

THE WATER WORKS
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
In the report Of the water committee
printed in this mornings paper, | find a few
mistakes which | wish to correct. The
usual pressure" referred to by them was not
fourteen pounds, but forty pounds. Our
vacuum gauge registers fourteen pounds at
low water, which might have been mistaken
for water pressure. They also state that
object to the quantity of water used by the
city, which is not true. / made the remark
that if water was used with reasonable
economy there would be no draw made
from the river, and citizens could have well
water instead OF water from the river.
did not say that / was drawing water
from the river for the last three months. In
reply to that question direct | said that
sometimes | was compelled to do so, as 81
could not pump wind Another mistake
wish corrected is that l am neither water
company nor superintendent. consequently
know nothing of this business affair.
