To to the Editor Of the Eagle
Uncle John Carpenter is exultant over
our prospectus future" and after short
conversation with him il is very easy 10 i'm
agine this place as spread over the larger
part Of Uncle Us farm, built up with fine
residences, having attractive boulevards and
drives-in fact a populous and beautiful city
beside which the radiance of Wichita pales
into insignifcance. We understand he is
about to make two additions on the north
and west OF town. and II. G. Boyle is about
to make an addition of twenty acres on the
east, and has already had applications for
lots upon which buildings will be erected as
soon as it is plotted.
II. c. Boyle & Bro. have purchased two
lots on Third street, upon which acommod-
Gus building will be immediately erected to
accommodate their growing implement
business.
Last Sabbath evening the NJ. Z.
church was crowded with people who
came to hear the last sermon by
Rev. A. II. Parker, prior to the meeting
of conference The sermon was more than
usually eloquent and persuasive, and many
were moved to tears. There is no doubt
about his being returned, and so the parting
was no. so sad as it might have been. In
the last siz weeks thirty-three names have
been added to the membership roll. and an
influence has been started that will never
be lost in this community.
There is strong talk Of starting q weekly |
paper with Z. Z. Hodge as editor. We
know OF no reason why a paper properly
should not be successful, and
Judging by the parties who are interesting
themselves in the matter, it would be.

nection with the primary department of our

Perhaps no town in the southwest has BET

this, the county seat Of Kingman, and we
will also venture to say that no city outside
of Wichita has better or more energetic
class of business men than can be found
among her citizens. That they also have
abundant faith in its future Is shown by the
splendid new blocks Of stores which have
been erected during the past year. Some of
the most notable Of these are the Garfield

time to run Nevada out Of the Union.
The same crowd oppose admitting cer-

ought to damn forever the political
wire pullers who are at work. In this
connection it is well to note that g

MARK TWAIN.


Legal sieeiies mesariins Pedisrces.
National Live Stock Journal.)
A recent case tried befor United
States Commissioner, in Chicago,
brought up in very salient manner,
what we may call the commercial
value of pedlgrees, and the criminality
of misrepresentation of pedigrees. The
claim Of the attorney for the defense
III that case was, among others, that
even though the pedigree had been
falsified and signed with the name Of
third party, the signer was not guilty
fof forgery; that to constitute forgery
in legal sense, the unauthorized use
Of persons name must be such as
action, if the signature were genuine,
conditions which, he argued, did not
obtain i'll this instance The attorney
FIR the prosecution held that, to find
the definition Of forgery in the mean
ing Of the treaty, it was necessary to
go beyond the statutes to the common
law. Finally the Secretary of State
decides that the case does not fall
within the provisions Of the extradi-
ton treaty between this country and
Great Britain.
We refer to this matter purely in
the abstract, and solely with a view to
elucidate the principle involved in a
decision that forging pedigree is not
a forgery. Should that be the cor
rect construction to put upon the Sec
retary of States decision, or even, if
nothing further be doducible from Mr..
Frelinghuysen's decision than the
mere statement he makes, to the eff
feet that the case does not come with
in the provisions of the treaty between
this country and Great Britain, the..
the consequences OF such ruling, it
seems to us, may be very deplorable.
OF the value of pedigree our read
ers are sufficiently well informed, and
common sense teaches that there is
comparatively little value in certifi-
cate that may be falsiied or forged
without entailing any crime. 1t is
recognized as crime, under the law,
to obtain money under false pretenses,
and when man pays $500 more for a
horse, because of its pedigree, the
proof that the pedigree is false, GER
tainly entails criminal action and pun
ishment. 1t is difficult to see that if
the pedigree be not only falsified, but
forged, why it is not forgery under the
criminal law. 1t may be good law
but 1t is, in our opinion, a very poor
principle.
Now, with regard to extradtion,
why 1t is not to the interest of every
country to give up all those who seek
a refuge therein to evade punishment
entailed upon them by the laws of
their own country, is point we have
never been able to see. However that
may be, what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander, and If the Amer
lean Government does not recognize
forging pedigrees as a crime, coming
under the extradition treaty, it is
hardly probable the Canadian or Brit
ish governments will look at it differ
emily, and consequently Canada offers
friendly haven for any American
dealer who should indulge in the for
gerry of pedigree for the sake of ad-
ding few hundred dollars to the sell
ing price of his horse, bull, COW, or
other animal.
