To the Editor of the Eagle

10 the Editor OF the Eagle:
desire as member of school board TO
state that j have never at any time believed
that Rev. Harper and Prof. Hammond were
in any wise actuated by malice or desire to
injure Mr.. Campbell in their report made
TO the board concerning the qualifications
of Mr.. Campbell and have never heard the
report withou. contradicting it and / be-
lieve that the examination made was fairly
and honorably conducted. The only rea-
son had for not desiring them on the re-
naming board for years 1856 was that, as
Campbell is by law a member of the re-
manning board, did not think it would be
congenial to Harper and Hammond to be
on the board with him, and other members
OF board expressed same feeling.
Respectfully, Kos HARRIS,
Ex-President School Board.
i concur in the above.
G. s. CALDWELL,
Ex-Member of the Board.
believe the examination was fairly con.

fee in a two-horse sulkey, was tipped ouI
at the corner of the alley and sustained
quite serious injuries. He fell on the iron
street car track and was for time thought
to be most dangerously hurt He was taker
away in hack by friends. The sudden turf

ibrium and Kelly fell out while the other
man went on.

A NEW PAPER.

| The Rural, is the name of new paper
reaching us from Hutchinson. of typograph
ical excellence; a semi-monthly journal 0
agriculture, stock raising aud hygiene. 1t
contains two salutations bat the man wh'
wrote the one under the Hygiene head woult
do well to re-write the first two sentences o.
otherwise explain what he meant to say
The second sentence takes the cake fol
breadth, perspicuity, elegance and complete
ness, no doubt, and We quote in full. there
remaining no longer any doubt why SC
many people die for the want of a proper
observance of the laws of hygiene:
"Where so many men are making obser-
yations, collecting facts and publishing re-
suits it is not to claim originality or escape
criticism, but laws of health govern large
domain and require rigid enforcement
We are in receipt of rather pitiful letter
from Louis Ranke touching his marital re-
lations and also the publication of matters
which did him great injustice we have little
doubt. As it is matter in which few OF
our readers can be interested, and as IT
would right no wrongs and but whet the
sensational appetite of those who love scan
dial its publication is declined. 1t seems
but the cid, old story of woman's ickleness
where marriage is based on fortune which
failed to materialize in a life OF ease and
comfort. One is to be pitied. if not both,
while both may have been to blame.
That part of Douglas avenue lying east Of
the Santa Fe railroad, since the extension of
the street railway in that direction, is loom
ing into prominence. New buildings are
going up in every direction and old ones are
being repaired; new sidewalks are being
built and fences and grounds are being fitted
up and beautified. That part of town lies
nearer the business center than any unde-
veloped portion, therefore shrewd business
men are beginning to realize that property
there is valuable, therefore real estate in that
direction is looming up. Work will prob
ably soon begin on the new union depot,
which will add very materially to the boom,
and grand developments may be looked for
in that end of town this season.

Outdoor Life.

Man seems planned for an outdoor
life in mild climate, with just a leaf
or two of shelter for rainy day. His
nature will bend for time to the con-
ventional burdens of an artificial civil
cation, but replant him on first princi-
pies in the outdoor garden Of life and
his recuperative forces will rebound
with the elastic energy of steel springs
relieved. Our fashionable friends would
lose caste were they to use their neigh
boris secondhand clothing, but they
will daily try to purify their own blood
with their neighbours secondhand or
ten-times used breath, poisoned as it
always is, even when exhaled by young
and healthy persons. Man, in common
with other warm blooded creatures,
generates surplus of heat within his
body. Outdoor sleepers find that no
matter how cold the surrounding air
may be, if dry, enough of the outfiowing
heat may be damned back and re-
tanned by suitable clothing to sustain
the vital functions in health and COM
fort Until domestic art can supply our
lungs with cool, Meteorological air, Sn
warm rooms, its votaries will have an
important problem to solve. In the
meantime out-campers and howell
jewellers will wear the best aerated
blood in the land.-American Home.

THE OLD ATTIC ROOM.

remember the dear old attic room,
Where slept when little boy. -,
Tn the farmhouse over beside the hill,
When life was perfect Joy. -
I remember the chairs so old ana quaint,
And the bed whereon slept,
And the chest of drawers beside the ooor'
Where the apples were always Kept
remember well how the early sun
Through the window small would stray,
And how the bird IN .ne Tree lou, ou'si'e
And how my mothers Thine 10 get up!
On my needless ear would fall,
And the unpretentious print that hung
So crookedly on the wall.
I remember the ceiling, cracked and low,
Where punches of peppers hung,
And the old green curtain that wouldn't roll
up,
But in every wild breeze swung.
! remember the barrels with stove-pipes
filed,
And various other things,
And the memory of this dear old room
Remembrance also brings.
OF the nights had of innocent rest:
What wouldn't give to be
Again, in the rosy, boyhood Dreams
wanderer happy and free?
And on its earpetless floor to romp.
A merry and bosterous boy,
And see my little sister play
With her latest painted toy?
The room was not fair to look upon,
But to me twas a jolly nest.
All, that now as then / could lay me down,
It's tired and willing guest,
And dream the dreams that then / dreampt
In the nights so cold and still,
On the homely bed in that attic room,
In the farmhouse by the hill
The Totrn.
