MEDICINE LODGE.

MEDICINE LODGE, kas., Sept. Is.
To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle.
An unusual interest is being manifested
in local politics in this county, especially
the nominating conventions. The offices to
be filed are county clerk, treasurer, regis
ter of deeds, sheriff, surveyor and coroner.
There are several aspirants, each confident
of success. The hottest fight seems to be
between the candidates for register of deeds,
with the odds seemingly in favor of L. NJ.
Moore. the present incumbent.
Medicine Lodge is without doubt the best
town this side of the Arkansas river, rail-
road towns not excepted. The country
tributary is equal to any in fertility. She is
inhabited by solid business men, who are
not found nodding over game of checkers
when anything concerning the common
good of the town and county requires their
attention. The railroad will be completed
TO this point some time in November. A Gel
ebration will be cotton up for the occasion
and the products of the county advanta-
geously exhibited.

ANOTHER THORN.

Readers of the Monitor will observe ths
the item We publish this morning. from yes
terday's Kansas City Journal concerning
the Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota railroad
saws that prominent gentlemen connected
with that enterprise assured the journal
reporter that that read would certainly ul'
tirnately run TO Kansas City also, This
statement Of the Journal made by its re-
porter is purely fanciiul, and was thrown in
by the reporter TO please Kansas City read
ers. No gentleman connected with the
Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota enterprise
ever told the Journal reporter any such
thing. The Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota
will never run 10 Kansas City and is thorn
in the side of that place What is said,
however. about the advantage which this
road will be 10 the Gulf system, is true
Fl. Scott Monitor.
But awaken Kansas local and state pride,
as the EAGLE has urged all summer, and the
result will be many just such thorns in the
side of Kansas City.

Uses for Sawdust.

When urged to burn or in some other
way dispose of their saw. dust, lumber
men have objected that they could not
afford the cost. There is hope that the
perplexing problem Of dealing with
this nuisance may be solved, for pro-
cess has now been discovered by which
the refuse sawdust may be made to yield
handsome profit. When dry it is car
BOMBED in iron retorts, and in the pro-
cess, there is gwen off 80 per cent. of
volatile products, the remaining 20
per cent. being graduated charcoal
which can be used in making gunpow
der, filters, lining refrigerators, and as
q disinfectant, and mixed with a little
tar it could be pressed into bricks and
used for fuel; % Of the 80 per cent. Of
the volatile product IS in the form of
fixed gases, which can be used for heat.

Renious acid, and after being purified
and concentrated, is used in white lead !.

The Width Of Streets.

Much advance has been made during
recent years il securing increased space
about inhabited dwelling s.. and modern
regulations require that . certain max
imum Of space shall be given in she rear
of houses and also TO the front, the
width Of the street being taken into ac-
count as regards the latter space. But
in the State Of Illinois the excessive
width Of the streets is reported as hay
ing OF itself become sourse of nuisance
and Of danger to health. Sixty feet and
more are ordinarily given to new streets,
even in the smaller towns; eight feet on
either side ara paved and devoted to
pedestrians; and the remaining space
varying usually from forty-four to fifty
four feet, is devoted to carriage traffic.
The result is that this wide carriage
road, SO often in excess of the require
ments Of the vehicles that have to travel
over it, becomes a source of such
expense as to forbid it's being properly
paved, cleansed and channelled. The
street consequent is soon turned into
vast surface of dirt mixed with filth
and refuse, and when the weather is so
dry that dust is formed the air which is
inhaled as tho dust flies about is calcu-
lated to bring about disease as we'll rs
discomfort, instead of promoting the
health of pedestrians. DR.. Gregory in
bringing forward this subject fully con-
ours in the great Importance of provid-
ing wide thoroughfares and OF keeping
the number of inhabitants to each acre
down TO proper maximum and hence
he declares that he would not diminish
by 81 single foot the width of the streets.
But he would curtail the actual road
way, so that it shall only suffice for the
proper demand for the carriage traffic;
and between that limited space, which
could then be properly kept at q reason
able cost and the foot paths he would
plant trees and lay down grass, &C as
really to provide in towns and cities
such freshness and greenness as would
go far to induce people to take that form
of exercise which is most conductive to
health. The hints given are as we'll
worthy of attention in this country as on
the other side Of the Atlantic. Some
thing has been done in this direction
both in the metropolis and in other towns
within the past few years, but there is
still room for much that would help to
render our town thoroughfares both
more healthful and more attrNctiy c.

-Four Glasses of Red Nosea.

DR.. William Stevens tells New York
Times reporter that there are four
classes of red noses, and he describes
them as follows. Those who are afflicted
with these torchlight professions on
their faces can doubtless form their own
Judgment as to which variety affects
them:
There is the whisky red nose, which
is often cultivated by It's owner with as
much pride and attention as he devotes
to the coloring OF the meerschaum pipe.
OF course, the only remedy for this kind
of red nose is to abstain from the use
of alcoholic beverages. It all depends
upon whether man will sacrifice his
appetite to his appearance. The second
class of red noses-the kind of red
nose that may be associated with the
feature of a gentleman who does not use
hquor--is produced by embolism, that
is, by the stoppage or obstruction Of
blood vessels in the end of the nose,
causing the blood to remain there.
This may be cured by prickiug with
long needles and letting the blood out.
Does it hurt? Oh, no, of course not;
it's very pleasant operation, like pull
ing teeth. The third class of red nose
may be called the cancerous diathesls
nose, which is caused by cancer and can
only be cured by the cure of the cancer.
The fourth class OF these red noses
the red nose that is most common to
men and women of good habits" as the
gentleman who advertises says--is the
red nose produced by superficial capil-
larry circulation in the veins and arteries
are so minute in their normal condition
that they will not receive the red cor
puscles in the blood, and therefore no
redness is appreciable when the arteries
and skin are healthy. The redness is
caused by q disorganized condition of
the capillaries. The minute veins be-
come enlarged and the red corpnscles
are admitted and show through the skin.
The only cure for these red noses are
climate, diet and exercise ii regulation
of the system. Some people whose
noses are red in New York would find
them the color of the rest Of their Skin
in Florida or at the north pole, and
people whose noses are red in those
places might find them cured in eli
mate like this.

John G. Calhoun was buried in ST..
Philips churchyard, in Charleston, s.

since lain. At the last session of the
State Legislature So, 900 was appropriate
ed to erect a sarcophagus as permanent
mark of the resting place of the great
statesman The sarcophagus was built,
On the precise spot OF the old tomb, OF
Vermont Granite. In design and execu-
ton it is; one of the hansomest monu-
ments in the South. The grave of CAL
houn was opened Friday morning, and
the remains removed to their new recep-
tacle. Major Courtney, ex-Judge Nc

that it would enable them to pay bill
for carpet, so she committed the mon

the evening the doctor returned from
the city in high spirits. He described
to US missionary meeting he had at.
tended. Doctor" said Mrs. Beecher,
did you pay for that carpet to-day"
"Carpet! what carpet?" responded the
doctor. "Why, the one I gave yon the.
| money to pay, for this morning. !" :
"There!" aeid the doctor, that accounts
for it. At the missionary meeting they
took up contribution. 81 When they
