PRINCE OF WALES.

To the Editor OF the Eagle:
] see that mongrel Eishman from Derby
has got squib or two in this mornings issue
Of the EAGLE, in which he tries to tap the
great vat, the tsnkard, the reservoir of bis
loyalty, and ventilate the rotten effluvia of
of his poor subjugated soul-creeping squirrn-
ing with loyalty. Out of respect of the most
servile order, TO that demorslized, debased,
degraded and debauched leproustoad,
"Wales"-a hybred ghoul. a loathesome
cobra, spotted scorpion.
Why no one, not even the slaves, hire
lings, and hacks who are not directly in his
pay or service. would, even for courtesy
sake call him "Prince." Aye, prince indeed,
so are Belzeebub and Pluto too, princes and
monarchs of the regions below, and waited
upon by hosts of Internal fends in the sui
phurous halls and caverns of Hades, whose
iron cliffs are washed and smoked by seething
pillows of molten birthstone that roll
and boil in the wake OF the
gasses. '.Prince," Is that the
cover of the polluted bestial-pot, the footed
carrion vat, the painted sepulchre, the hor-
rid ssreophagus, making charming ex-
terror, and nothing within but corruption
and dead mems bonest If so, the LID should
be cast again, and made to fit closer, TO keep
pent within their places the miasms-breed-
ing yapors, freighied and weighted and
.hickened with the wickedness of not one,
but an hereditary succession of the most de-
PRAYED libertines the nations or the world
has ever seen. Or else cap the climax by
throwing off the mask and opening the APP
to the mausoleum, and let the
world see the real inwardness Of the

To the Elitor OF the Daily Eagle:
Yes, my friend, the famous Wichita
EAGLE Is reliable. The Geographic news
from Dublin in Fridays issue, April 10th,
has given us the full account of the glorious
reception which the Prince and Princess of
Wales received on their arrival in ireland.
The very MISUNDERSTANDING air of the tair

Of England"

columns and then only give you faint idea
of the reception, but | will take it for grant
ed that you have read all you want 10 hear
about that noble mans visit
Mr.. j. o., may be ignorant enough, yet
not so very far journeyed in that dark val
lev of life as to be deceived and led into a
darker one by you. don't give ears to
such falsehoods as you have called my at
tention to concerning the i'll report you give
me Of the Prince of Wales. Ny friend you
are grooing in darkness trying to light 9TH
ers when you have no oil in your own lamp,
when you try to make the readers of the
EAGLE believe this great falsehocd about
immortality among the nobility. Since !
have read the welcome Irish news in Fri
days issue / have been singing:
Ireland's orange lily
And England's blooming rose
Have fourished long together
In spite of all their foes.
When dewdrops down from Heaven
Upon their stems do fall
They sing out no surrender
No J. O.'s here at all.

Barnes or the children were in the least
hurt. The horse came out all right and

of the Jail. You can hear the children's

wander back 10 the youthful days. that once

Our jailor, VIM. Sylyere, is quite mu-

and other musical instruments. After tea
in the evening he entertains the prisoners
with selections and songs on his favorite in
strument, the guitar, which is highly appre-

The Jail is now undergoing change in
the way of whitewashing the walls, and 6

The Mr.. Mead mentioned in the EAGLE of
yesterday morning in connection with the
rescue Of misguided woman, is not John
Mead but Frank B. Mead. The gentleman
is young married man and had been in
the city for some weeks and the supposition
is that he was unaware Of the misfortune of
the lady 10 question when be first came to
the city. 1t Is learned that he brought to
this city testimonials from parties Of the
highest respectability and social standing in
the state of Michigan, ana also that his fam
lily and connections are of the same charac-
ter. The man who brought the woman in
the case to this city is still here and his es-
pecial friend and companion is one Alvin
Hamilton, young man who has brought
himself into some unfavorable notoriety in
q limited way.

TIE capacity Of the mill is sufficient to meet
all the present requirements in its line. The
EAGLE reporter made call on Mr.. V. Z.
Appleby, the proprietor, yesterday, and
was assured that he could do more in the
manufacture of doors, sash, blinds, mould
ings, etc, than sufficient to meet the local
demand. There is nothing usually done in
a planning mill that cannot be done at this
mill, aud the work turned out will compare

Col. Sumner, formerly of FL Dorado, now
OF Arkansas City, was in the city yesterday,
and called upon Probate Judge Jewett il
accordance with instructions from the state
board of inspection of drug stores under the
amended law. The colonel visited several
places reported as crooked and adulserators
of that peculiar medicine issued to the un-
healthy under this peculiar law. His test
glass showed tina; Swentzler, on Main street,
dealt in pure medicine. The druggist on
Douglas avenue. first door east of the New
York store, after rigid test, was found to be
all right, the complaint lodged against him
having no foundation.

On both ends Of the Arkansas river bridge
rapid encroachmenis are being made by lot
makers upon the natural channel OF the
river. The process consists of r;p-rapping
with brush and trash, and driving piles.
Then the lots so staked off are filed with
stable manure and sand. To say rothing of
the sanitary feature OF this narrowing of the
channel, there is great danger OF flooding the
city if it is carried much further upon some
great freshet occurring.

The horse of Mr.. Frank A. Cooper, the
druggist, took sudden notion yesterday to
run and smash his buggy. Mr.. Cooper had
employed two young men to post some
printed matter for him and while one was
putting bin upon pole the other young
man stood up in the buggy to post up an
other, and while doing so the horse started
on run, frightened al some object. The
young man was thrown out but not injured
and the horse ran up Mair street some dis
lance and then turned east and came to a
halt on Lawrence avenue. The damage to
the buggy is not great and the horse was
but SLIGHTLY injured.

Mr.. G. W. Van Awkin, of Phelps, n. Y,
has sent 60 this city three barrels of pepper
mint plants for transportation here and
Mr. j. Furgerson is now setting them out on
some land belonging TO Mr.. p. V. Healy. If
this experiment proves that the plant can be
successfully cultivated on our soil and in
our climate, Mr. Naa Awkin expects to hav
large area planted with peppermint and to
erect ztill for the production of pep per
mint oil. There is always a demand for this
oil, often beyond the supply and its high
price has led TO constant sophistication and
adulteration by unplincipled dealers and
manufacturers. 1t is hoped the experiment
may terminate advantageously.

The EAGLE reporter, while standing near
one Of the livery stables on West Douglas
avenue yeste rday, overheard curious con-
versation between two Virginians from
Pittsylvania county. in that state. One
said that he was CO years old, and he had
heard his father say that the people of that
section in early days, compressed their to-
bacco into hogshead of two thousand
pounds capacity by means of long lever
inserted into strongly rooted tree, resting
few feet therefrom upon crib of riven
timber built upon the tobacco in the hogs
head, the extreme end being weighted by
crib of large stones attached. AZ
more pressure was required, an
other stone was thrown into the
crib. When the hocshead was full,
and duly headed up, huge wooden felloes
were hewn out and pinned together by
wooden pins around each end, raising it
about eight inches from the ground. When
all was completed hickory hand-spikes were
cut, and bv human hands the hogshead
rolled up hill and down dale, across Staun-
ton river on raft, and across creeks fifty
miles to Lynchburg, on the James river.
The younger Virginian said he was thirty
eight years old, and he could remember
hearing his people talk of an improvement
made on the propelling method of the hogs
head by attaching long hickory-pole shafts
to pinions in the center of the heads and
hitching q horse thereto But, said he. the
ofiron by slave labor in Frank
lin county near by, had enabled few of the
wealthy to have some cumbersome wagons
made, and that method of freighing did
away with rolling altogether just about the
same time. The time referred to by the
elder Virginian was from the close Of the
revolution to about 1897. The reference Of
the younger was from the latter date to
about 1926. When we heard this converse
ton we were led to realize the great change
now and then
