ONE WAY TO DO IT.

The question of sewering this city is .
problem which continually presents itself to
the minds Of the more thoughtful citizens.
Although the city is not half the size it will
be in the near future. already many fear that
the water from the drive-wells within the
city limits may even now be contaminated.
There is one way, cheap way and and .
practical way of keeping the flow of water
beneath this city perfectly healthy and pure,
and it is clearly within the power of the city
council to adopt and enforce it That way
is to keep everything to the surface. Permit
no sinks within the city limits except such
as are used for pure, clear waste water from
pumps or from hydrants- Compel every
body under the severest penalty to use dry
earth closets or tight boxes in connection
with their privys, and then compel these to
be kept thoroughly disinfected with road
dust or lime, or some other cheap and handy
disinfectant, that no smell shall be allowed
or discoverable. The boxes or closets would
have to be regularly removed, at stipulated
cost, by scavenger, and all vaults now used
neutralized and filed up. This would in
sure health. thoroughly protecting the waters
which flow beneath our city, though our
population should reach five times what it is.
As to the enforcing Of such an ordinance, it
would be the simplest matter in the world.
Any police officer could not fail to detect
any violation of the ordinance. Every
place not thoroughly disinfected would tell
its own tale. In the absence Of an expensive
sewerage system, the EAGLE puts forth this
suggestion, not as new idea particularly,
but under the conviction that something
must be done in the near future. The ex-
pense to each resident would be compara-
tivelv slight, consisting of the placing Of
the movable box, the disinfectant to be ap-
piled daily, and the occasional carting away
of the contents.

WON'T SUPPORT IT.

Business Man" sends us q note urging
objections to Republican administration
Of this city and dilating in favor of "citi-
zens' movement" This is q free country,
and Business Man" no doubt will have q
chance to vote and work with q "citizens'
movement" which will be, at bottom, in
the interest of the present administration.
In the judgment of good many men
Wichita has had all the experience under
the "citizens' movement" that she can stand,
and which has always turned out to be, in
fact, Democratic. The Republicans of this
city having determined to try what they
could do as party in giving the people a
little more satisfactory city government,
Business Man. comes forward with his
suggestions at rather late hour in the day.
As has been stated heretofore, the EAGLE is
for straight-out Republican ticket this
spring, though not more than five men in
the city could be found to vote for or sup
port it. We suspicion, however, that "Busi-
ness Man" is either Democrat on the sly
or else he is mighty Weakened Repub-
lican. But as Business Mans" note was
evidently called out by an editorial appear
ing in this paper last week, in which bust
ness men were urged to turn out to the
ward meetings, We viii say for his benefit
that in one ward in this city, out of one
hundred and forty-one members of the Re-
publican club Of this ward, one hundred and
ten Of them are tax papers, and the name of
of nearly every business man residing in
that ward appears on the books. In conclu-
sion, the ''citizens' movement" dodge is too
old; is too thin: is deceptive; it won't wash;
its doughface; its cowardly; its galvenized
hummer; its lacks generally and the EAGLE
won't support it.

THE BOOMERS.

No action has been taken against the
boomers yet. Gen. Hatch arrived here from
Topeka by the Santa Fe yesterday morning
and repaired to the Occidental hotel where
he met Assistant Z: S. District Attorney
Hatton, Lieut. Day and Capt. Couch. They
spent considerable time discussing the case
against the boomers. All concerned ex-
pressed an earnest desire to have the matter
settled for good before the time set for the
next invasion Of the territory. Subsequent
" Gen. Hatch and Mr.. Hatton went to Com
missioner Shearman's Office and held con-
sultation when it was decided to advise Couch
TO telegraph his counsel, Judge Mcdonald,
Of Winfield. An EAGLE reporter in CONVEX
sstion with Gen. Hatch and Mr.. Hatton last
night, learned that they have not yet fully
determined as to whether or not they would
re-arrest the boomers just now, but that they
would arrive at a conclusion in the premises
to-day. Mr.. Hatton said TO the reporter
that he would write the attorney-general on
the subject to-day giving more definite in
formation touching the territory than has
yet been received at Washington. From
this it would appear that the United States
authorities here cannot see their way quite
clear in prosecuting these men. Couch and
his associates are anxious to go home but
have remained in order TO save the govern
ment the trouble of going after them. Gen.
Hatch and Mr.. Hstton, no doubt, have gath
cred much from the soldiers who came here
to testify against the boomers, that make
them reluctant to proceed in the ease with
out further instructions from Washington.
1t lie also limited that United States District
Attorney Hallowell will 60 to Washington
to confer with the encouragement on the
subject

1t ought to be unnecessary to cali the at
tention of those who must bear the big ent
of the municipal tax burthen to any oper
effort being made In their interest, but j
seems to be true that business men will as ,
rule suffer longer and suffer greater ant
make fewer exertions TO bring about relic
than any other class Of citizens. There i
not business man, at least Republican
who does not favor change in the admin
istration of the affairs Of this city-man,
very strongly desiring it, and there is mo-
one of them who is not aware of the fact tina
there has been organized in each ward il
the city wide-awake Republican club com
posed of energetic, enthusiastic men, who
financially have less 10 lose than the heavier
tax payers through any Encouragement o.
the city's affairs, yet it is fact that dozen.
of these Republican business men have never
been near any Of the meetings of the club in
their ward, either to encourage by their
presence or advise with words drawn from
experience. the time has now come for
those who desire to see Republican ad-
ministration in Wichita for just once, to
show some interest We hope they really
do not need to be told this, but only re-
minded. and reminded to that those who are
at work and with less at stake feel their alb
sence. Let every meeting under the next
call be full to the end that no mistakes are
made in the selection of the men who are tc
carry the Republican banner.

A BRIGHT GAY BRAND

There was laid upon our table yesterday
with the compliments of J. J. Robertson q
Co., wholesale and retail dealers and manu-.
facturers of cigars, box of smokers manu-
factured especially for their home trade and
especial customers. They are the finest
smoothest, richest cigars ever brought OF
manufactured for this particular line Of
trade and many buffers have gone off in
ecstacies over them. But all that is not what
we started out to say. The box is embel.
lished with pearline picture of the face Of
a newsgirl with an old SLOUGH hat on the
back Of her head, in which is stuck bright
red lone tail-feather of rooster and in her
mouth half-consumed cigar. Across her
shoulder is bundle Of "Wichita EAGLES y
the name OF the cigar. The same picture
appears on the inside Of the lid, in the back
ground numerous telegraph poles and wires
all carrying news to the great southwestern
daily. The girls face is study and that
the brand will be al the rage among judges
of a genuine article there is no doubt Brand
ed with hot stamp on the box is "Las,
Edition" The whole design is protected by
copyright and the dealer who don't keep
this rich smoker on sale will simply get left
whether he does business in this city or in
any other of tie growing places of the
Great Arkansas Valley. Dealers in cigars
will find in Mr.. Robertson & Co., conscien-
tious gentlemen, whose desire is to build up
q trade which will stand by them, therefore
will have nothing to do with swindling stocks
or misleading brands.

The series Of special services at the NJ. K

istence seems to fall 20 far short in satisfying
the most simple longings Of the soul, tha

cious in the estimation of thos,
who really appreciate how vain are al
things here below. Night before last ter

The soul, immortal as its sire,

DR.. Phillips and his co-workers are conse-

GODDARD ALL ToaN UP.

A rumor has reached u & It the new city
of Goddard was shaken rs D., an earthquake
BY an incident that occurred there recently
which shook society from stem to stern. Il
was this way: A few days since two blind
men gave some sort of concert, at the
tail end of which the citizens determined to
vote silver tea-set to the most popular lady
in the city. Since the incorporation of the
city the inhabitants are divided into two
factions; the religious and the kickers. The
religious faction selected . respectable young
lady Is their candidate, while the kickers,
out Of pure devilment, cast their votes for
an old washerwoman named Burns. When
the votes were counted the washerwoman
was elected by large majority, and one of
the Oldest merchants in the town selected to
present the tea-set to the victorious candi-
date. The defeated side were, Is matter Of
course, chAgrined at the turn Affairs had
taken, and determined TO get rid Of the
highly popular damsel. A representative
was dispatched TO this city to confer with
the proper authorities for the purpose Of
throwing the woman. who has been an obs
ject Of charity ever since she came to the
place. on the county. In this, however.
they failed, and the new city will probably
have TO take care of her own poor. The
funny part of the affair is, that the inhabi-
tants should try to put the most popular
woman in the whole city into the poor
house

ONE OF THE OLD BOYS.

One of Sedgwick county's earliest settlers
made us q call yesterday morning in the
person of Mr.. Geo. L Babcock, of New
Haven, Connecticut In 1870 he owned a
rancho on the Cowskin which included the
well known Cartwright farm, now worth
at least $50 or $50 per scre. That was only
fourteen years ago. Mr.. B. helped TO extend
the circulation of the yidette, and w. B.
Hutchinson was in his company when he
called. He helped get through the first
bonds voted for railroad, and was on hand
when J. N. Steele, as census taker, enrolled
all the settlers he could find between here
and the Indian territory in order to have
The requisite number Of inhabitants to organ
.ze the county. Mr.. Babcock went back to
the land of Linwood hams and married a
beautiful woman who has borne him two
fine children, but he SAYS he has never got
over longing for this country. The county
he left with no railroads and but six or
eight hundred people is now gridironed with
roads and boasts population of upwards
of thirty thousand people and city of if
teen thousand. with all the modern conyen-
fences as to society, trade, etc Lands that
he could have purchased at from 81 10 81
per acre, by the acre or by the township,
are worth from SIS TO 500 per acre and
town lots what commanded from $40 to $50
now readily bring from $1,000 to 5000

state yet to be taken advantage of BY bright,
