house. 1t is fully stocked with horses and
mules and will be handled as sale stable.
Some handsome pictures of Miss Louise

psny, are upon exhibition in numerous
places in the city. The work is from the
galleries OF Australia and is of II high order
of merit.
FN Lewis, of Detroit Mich, is in the

of Kansas, having Eyed here for several
years, and consequently notes many changes
as well as meets numbers of Oil friends.

Tramps still inicst the city. soa!e of these
gentry broke into the Fou.l.i wa.d school
house the ether night and destroyed maay
things. Ii is hard enough for our people to
have to feed these rnendicants, but when
they go to destroying property they should
be bounced.

time since, finds that he must break up
housekeeping. He has two bright little

The ground hogs >ix weeks is beginning
to seem like an age People in this latitude
are beginning TO entertain the suspicion that
his hogship is OVERRIDING the matter, or plas
tcring it on little thick, as il were. Even
deduct the pretty days along about the first
of March and 1t would still seem that we
had had enough of the ground hog business.
We hope the administration sees by this
time what mess has been made of the
weather by court mar,ialing Old Probsbil
ties. The longer We live the more are we
convinced of the foolishness of fooling with
the weather bureau. If Hazcn had been let
alone the Greedy patty would undoubtedly
have been rescued and the price Of white
bear pets reduced also.
Now tina; the postoftice department hasbeen
manned anew we hope they may take lock at
the last report of the special agent and order
a free delivery for Wichita. 1t makes no diff
ference who will be postmaster. TIE revenue
of the office entities our people 70 the de-
livery system and it is the only way the
pressure and inccnveniece can be relieved
unless the department rents bigger and
better room and adds more clerical force.
Stafford Herald: The generous hospitality
Of Wichita TO the g. A. x. delegates who
rendezyoused there was simply grand. Those
who arrived during the day found buggies
and comrades ready to show them the town,
and not single delegate was allowed to 90
to hotel. Private houses were thrown
open and all were made welcome, Even one
msn who had served under Lee in the con- |
federate army, came TO the campfire and
gas-lisht. captured two comrades and bore
them off home. Blu; then Wichita never
does things by halves

EAGLE wss st least as near right touching

iudes TO the MISTER, We VIII say that eur in

building, or ST less; portion Of It, else they

Beacon viii rely more on the EAGLE and

columns viii prove fsr more relishle, no;
to say far more entertaining, TO the average
reader.
