A Wonderful Dog.

A solemn man in a western city recently
entered a restaurant, followed by his dog,
seated himself and called for a bill of fare.

"What would you like to have, sirf' asked
the waiter, Tipping the table with his napkin.
"Well," said the solemn man, reilectively,

"Cup o. coffee and plenty of milk" went on
the solemn man.
"Gimme the same" said the dog.
The waiter shuddered, and, turning, fed
for the kitchen.
A man with q squint at an adjoining table
was much interested in the scene. He had
observed it closely, and finally spoke to the
solemn man.

"Well, " he said, Il can't refuse that. l hate
to part with him, but you can have him"

What Is IT.
penseS.

Last evening the sporting editor OF
the TIMES, while standing near some
willows that grow along Wood River,
heard a continual popping tina,
sounded like the explosion of percus-
sion caps. Something gave forth this
sound probably from the action of the
frost, but what that something is
which pops so loud and sharp, is the
query.

dollars toward defraying county ex.

PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGES.

Rev. J. ID. Hewitt as the secretary

sending out the following circular to
the church on educational work in
Kansas:
The time indicated by our General
Assembly for the collection for the
above object is the month of February.
1t appears from recent statement
of the secretary of this board that in a
little over two and half years six
teen institutions have been aided, at
III aggregate cost of S38,l03. And
that this amount of aid, granted to
help pay running expenses, has been the
means of securing for higher Presby-
terrain education. in building and other
real property, sum exceedidg half q
million dollars. The good work is
wonderfully blest by the Head of the
church.
If We as church do our duty by
this cause we shall soon see a work
that will rejoice all Or hearts in all
parts of the land. Kansas has had
more than her share of aid; let us do
our share Of the work.

SENSIBLE TALK.

Mr.. T. V. Powderly. at the head of
the Knights of Labor said in speech
recently:
Ifevery laborer and every manufac-
turer would read daily good news
paper and keen posted on the topics of
the times | feel certain there would be
less trouble.
We are glad to note that scores of
newspapers are doing their best to
communicate Mr.. Powderly's words
of wisdom to the persons whom they
most concern. No man knows all that
is going on, even in his own business,
if he does not allow himself to look
beyond his own shops or office. If all
workingmeA read trustworthy news
papers they would not again commit
the blunder of "striking" ON a falling
market, nor would employers try to
reduce prices while their men are be-
ing advertised for to go elsewhere.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The storm, last Thursday night,
blockaded the Wichita and Western
again, for two days. The snow drifts
were so solid aud hard that only slow
progress was made, however, the
forces were large, and by 7o'clock
tonight the road was clear again, per-
hitting trains TO run. Several Of the
men employed TO shovel snow, had
their hands and feet frostbitten. Mr..
Andrew Murphy had his face severely
frozen.
During this last blizzard, our coal
dealers were entirely out of coal, and
many farmers had to burn corn. The
freight train brought one car of coal
out tonight which quantity, however,
is but drop in the bucket. This
winter is indeed very hard on many
people, and especially our farmers, as
they had light crops, for which they
did not realize the prices they ex-
pected to get this year, and they can
not very well spare so much money to
purchase coal.
The trade between Mr.. Pratt and
Dick Snyder is not yet completed, and

There is sensational fight between

the balance of power, and members
from the west will try to make the
distribution more equal aud in accord
