Dolly prayed nearly all dav. She
didn't kneel down and do it for
mally IN set phrase. She Just let
her heart 90 mp in a thanktuln ess
for which there are no words. A little
door had been opened. There was light
cleaning beyond. Her Jack was lighter
hearted. She'd show him how many lutte
luxaries $l2 week would furnish when
love did the shopping. She was naturally
6uoyant and imaginative. and she pic.
tured the whole future. 1t wasn't gran0,
but it was coZy. They'd save up httle
money and then they'd go away out West
where her Jacks talents would have a
field. They'd have home in time. She
could see her chickens-there were TO be
six Plymouth Rocks and a cock.-cOming
under the kitchen window for the
crumbs. 1t was all so modest and hum
BILE that sue knew fate wouldn't begrudge
them this enjoyment. So they'd put up
with poverty and save all their money and
wait and sing.
But above all she felt thankful at Jacks
moral Change. The moment be got a good
meal and chance OF work the dreadful

convinced her that morning that their
good luck had not set in. She could not
see the sky from the windows, but she
felt that it was golden with promises.

Awake her not Let not her marble heart One moment know the bitter pain of thought Leave her forever for chaste Love, and Art; For us alone be joys that come to naught. It is not fit that her immortal eyes Should weep for love that vanished or grew
 cold.
 Iris she, not we, for whom no pleasure dies; She cannot know our greed for fame and gold. She is part of all that can be fair
 And shall we dread to be as still as she When death shall claim us:-shall fear to

 Eternal silence such as here we see" Can any thought. however fair compare With that sweet balm that sleep alone doth bear?

POISONOUS ICE CREAM.
Experts Discussing the Recent
Poisonings at Picnics.
Various Theories Advanced by Confection
ers, Chemists and Physicians. Who
Display Great Ability in Con-
tradicting Each Other.

Confectioners and chemists nave been
discussing the recent wholesale poisoning
Of large numbers of persons from ice-
cream served at picnics and church excur-
sions in various parts of the country.
Hardly had the excitement following the
reported poisoning Of two hundred and
fourteen persons at q church picnic at
Petersville, Hunterdon County, N. j., SUBJ
fided-many of whom have since died
than dispatch from Coultersville, H.,
announced that at a picnic at that place
more than seventy people were poisone d
by the ice-cream served, six of whom have
since died. For nearly six months in the
year almost everybody eats lee cream, so
these and other alarming incidents have
caused a widespread feeling of insecurity
IN regard to the summer solace.
Louis Blank, one of the leading ice
cream makers of the city, said yesterday /:
II have often heard of these poisoning
cases, but l never saw any myself. Ice
cream should be made of cream, sugar
and havoring-all pure, fresh and of the
best quality. Nothing else should be used.
Many of the cheap makers use
arrowroot and corn-starch. recol-
lect poisoning case last year
in New York which was traced
directly to the use of corn-starch. You
may recollect, continued Mr. Blank, "that
a suit was brought some time ago by the
proprietor of a hotel at Jenlintown TO re-
cover damages against confectioner for
poisoning his guests with cream tarts. II
was decided in that suit that under cer-
tain conditions corn starch was very dan
gerous. Then, again, IL the cans are not
cleaned they become great sources of dan
ger. 1t has been said that in, some cases
the cans have been allowed to stand q ear
without cleaning. In such case verdi
girls must form, and dangerous poisoning
Is the result
Prof. Samuel w. Gross, when his atten-
tion was called to the matter, said: "If the
cream Is made in copper vessels we all
know what copper vessels can do. The tin
freezers are no: hing but copper timed. II
the tin wears away of course the copper
will remain and he constant source OF

THE WICHITA AND WESTERN.

| From the Cuilison Banner.
Messrs Butler, Coe and Wenner, level
ers, are working in this vicinity. In add
ton to other work, they have surveyed the
ground for three switches.
| The graders under Messrs. Moore, Gold
smith and Cheney, who are working west
of town to the county line, have finished
their work and left.
| MIR. Shenfield's camp was moved to this
point last Sunday. He expects to finish
his contract in about three weeks, when he
will leave for other fields His men are
now working within less than O mile east
of town.
| Today, Friday, work was begun on the
depot grounds at this place. Just south of
the Kimball lumber yard there is a shallow
cut and across Main street will he a fill of
only thirteen inches.
Shentield's graders are as orderly set of
men as it has ever been ours to see
Last Wednesday we accompanied Sur
veyor Coe over the grade from Cullison to
the west line of the county. We found ev-
erthything in ship-shape order. The grad
ing done by Contractors Cheney and Gold
smith is the prettiest we ever saw, and a
visit to it will pay anyone
| There is no question in our mind but
that the road bed will be graded no farther
west this fall. and that the terminus of the
K, p & W. will be at Cullison for at least
six months. Everything in connection
with the grading indicates that our opin-
ion on this point has been and is correct
| The contractors who have been working
west of town finished their contracts and
left for other fields of labor Messrs Shen-
field and Butler will do the same as soon as
they finish the contracts on which. they are
now working. If grading were to be done
any farther west than the county line this
fall, the old, tried and competent contract
ors would in all probability, be retained
and set Immediately to work in kiowa
county.

| being the end of the division from Wichita
west The company is preparing to put in
a house, turn-table, pump and other appli
anees necessary at the ends of divisions,
and we believe that even after the road
leaves Cullison she will continue to be the
end Of the first division west from Wichita.
The divisions are about ninety miles long,
and Cullison is about ninety miles from
Wichita.
For over ten miles east from Pratt coun
tvs west live the road is rs straight as a
string.
The gong which calls Shenficld's men te
their meals and to work would make a good
fire alarm, and our people should take steps
to secure it for the use of Cullison when
she becomes incorporated this fall.
The depot at this place has been located
on the west side of Main street and on the
north side of the main track A freight
switch will be built on the north side of the
building and platform will connect i.
with Main street
The latest report is 10 the effect that the
K p. & W has laid track over two miles
into Pratt county.

as Prof. Winchell believes, the ocean has
always surged between Asia and America,
our archaeological riddle is still unsolved.
An imaginative person, however, in view
of the late disturbances on the Atlantic
coast, will not find it difficult to picture
that the same CONFUSION of nature which
would depress the eastern coast of this con-
tinent, burying its cities from sight by an
ocean inudation, might possibly roll the
waves of centuries from Ocean-buried At
lantis; but imagination and conjecture run
rife at the bare possibility Of such scene.

THR CHICAGO 4 ROCK ISLAND.

The surveying corps of the Chicago d
Rock Island are at work in Marion county
putting in the permanent grade stakes, and
will within a few days be at work between
Peabody and Wichita A member of the
corps told the editor of the Peabody Graphic
that he thought dirt would be flying within
forty days, as it seemed the policy of the
company to push the Kansas extension as
rapidly as possible, and as the line to Wich-
tia will be one of their best feeders in the
state, it is reasonable to suppose that work
to that point will progress as speedily as
circumstances will permit.

THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON.

To the Editor OF the Eagle:
In almost every instance rich and ex-
stensive territory will create a fine center
of trade and if the town SO situated is a
county seat, it will also become, with
sufficient railroad facilities, large city.
Hutchinson is the capital of Reno county,
which is one of the largest and richest in
the state, and has perhaps less waste land
than any other county in Kansas. At
present railroads is the principle tOpic Of
conversation in Hutchinson, and everyone
from the school children up, are calling for
more roads Last week the county voted
$32O. 900 to two roads, the Rock Island and
the Wellington & Fit. Smith. To both
these propositions there were but one
dissenting vote cast in the city of Hutchin-
son. Two or three other roads have also
been voted for this season, one of them the
Wichita & Colorado is now completed and
trains will be running next week in time to
accommodate the Hutchinson people who
wish to visit the Arkansas Valley Fair at
Wichita. Should all of the new lines now
in contemplation, be built, this city ought
TO make the largest railroad centre west of
Wichita in Kansas. Among the other adj
vantages in her favor, is the immense wa
ter power lately developed, and which is
large enough to turn the wheels of a dozen
mills or factories 1t is also quite well
known that this is the location of the state
reform school This colossal building.
which it will be, is to cost when completed
over two millions of dollars, and will be
large enough to accommodate at least Il
thousand inmates.
To visitor Hutchinson presents very
bright and attractive appearance. with its
broad streets, fine large business houses,
and well shaded dwellings and walks The
citizens also are entitled to considerable
praise for the pluck and energy with which
they have advanced every enterprise likely
TO benefit this town, and that they have
been thus far very successful Is shown b.
the present boom and activity displayed ii
every line of business.
The press is well represented by three
good weeklies and one daily paper. OF
which the daily and weekly News, edited
by Mr.. Ralph Mr. Easley. takes the lead
Editor Easley makes a slashing paper, ano
booms the town with a doubled barrelled
l,oom of his own get up The other pa
pcrs are the Interior Herald good paper
edited by Mr. Fletcher Merridith, and the
Hutchinson Democrat, edited by n. J.
Blackburn. Hutchinson is also secure
against fires by fine system of water
works, while street cars, electric lights
and other big things are being agaited for.

The summer hours have vanished,
And the autumn time has come
With its leaves of gold and crimson,
Cleaning in the harvest sun,
And blue haze crowns the upland
When the pleasant day is done.
I've been roaming in the woodlands,
Through each well remembered glade,
Through the gorgeous tinted forests
In their autumn robes arrayed,
In the old familiar by-paths
Where our childish feet have strayed.
have climbed the sunny hillsides
With bright ichens scattered DER,
have stood beside the strearllet,
Where we played in days of yore-
In those happy days of childhood
That shall visit us no more.
And sad memories came thronging
Over heart and brain today,
And silent tears are falling
That in vain strive to stay;
For I'm thinking of you darling,
In your home SO far away.
Far from kindred ties that bound you,
Far from childhoods happy home,
And from old associations,
Destined evermore to roam
By the uplands where We wandered,

From the Peabody Gazette
In Wichita, last Thursday, we had the
pleasure of a drive through that fiourlshing
metropolis with r. p Murdoch, of the
EAGLE, and after passing through miles of
thickly populated and well built up sub
urbs Of the city, we concluded that the
EAGLE is eminently correct in Boosting of
Wichita and her boom. We do not doubt
that the aggregate value of the houses we
saw in progress of erection at this time
would be at least quarter of million of
dollars.
