Favorite Sport Of the Hoosiers.

A fox drive took place in CharlestOwn
township Indiana, the other day. This is
a rather novel sport, and is gaining consid
cradle popularity among the country PEG
pie of Indiana. About $50 took part on
this occasion The territory chosen was q
level expanse about three miles square.
The men were stationed in lines at the
four points. Each line was commanded
by gentleman familiar with the sport.
At previously agreed upon time the
various lines commenced moving toward
the center. As they drew closer together,
the lines became more compact, until fin
ally hare could not have escaped. The
men, in the meantime, kept up a ceaseless
to drive the foxes from their holes.
Finally the foxes, five in number, were
driven out in plain sight in an open field
with not an avenue open for escape. The
lines then closed up until they were about
fifty yards apart. Then two men were sent
out to chase the foxes and capture them.
AS soon as man became tired another
would take his place and it was cOntin-
ued In this manner until the foxes were
worn ont, captured and killed. The trO-
phies were put up at auction and sold to
the highest bidder One Of them brought
S, and was purchased by a farmer. A
popularity about these drives is the fact
that no person is allowed any weapons,
not even club. The people from all over
the upper end of the county took part and
greatly enjoyed the sport.

Mr. Howells was very modest in speak
ing Of his work and told me he did not be-
lieve i'm the word genius. He thought, he
said, that he had a natural bent towards
literature and that his success had been
due to hard work. He does not believe
that long terms of Intellectual inactivity
are beneficial, aad says that they are in
furious to the writer. He works right
along the year round, and prefers to take
his rest day by day rather than in lump.
In response to questions as to his habits
Of work Mr. Howells said: Il devote my
mornings to writing rise at about Z,
breakfast at 8, and then go to work. eat
the usual American breakfast, and don't
ind that n good hearty meal disagrees
with my labors l did think at one
time when came back from Europe that
1 would keep up the foreign
custom Of light breakfast Of coffee and
rolls. But dropped it after a time. 1t is
not adapted to our climate, and it is not
suited to our habits with the children
going to school SO early and nothing but n
lunch at noon. After breakfast sit down
and begin to write, and l work away for
three or four hours until the family lunch
time. l then drop my work for the day,
and spend the remainder Of the time IN
chatting, walking, driving, or doing what
ever comes uppermost. l have written
somewhat i'm the afternoon, and, indeed,
at all times Of the day during pressure
But I think my best work is done in the
morning, and l consider il the best time
for literary work Carp" in Cleveland

Reference TO the Vanderbilt pictures re
calls good story of the dead millionaire,
who was more famous for good nature
than caustic wit. One day when his
gallery was open to visitors. along came
man with glib tongue, lots Of enthusi-
asm, and dirty hands. He posed critic
ally before picture after picture, and his
soiled hands again and again came in con-
tact with the rich frames and even the
canvasses. Mr.. Vanderbilt looked on
askance; he did not like to say anything
harsh, and yet he feared for his pictures.
Finally the visitor turned to Mr.. Wander
bilt, who near by was conversing with
personal friends while he furtively
watched the spotted hands and draped
finger nails.
You have a wonderful gallery, the man
calculated, a wonderful gallery, sir; why
when l stood before that picture he
pointed TO a sad faced Madonna-"when
stood before that picture, sir, was SO
touched that the tears came rushing into
my eyes like a flood-like flood, Sir;
wept SO freely"-he went on-"I wept so
freely that ! could have washed my hands
in my tears Sir; wash
"Why didn't your" said the millionaire
calmly.
The talkative man glazed ut himself in
spots, subsidized, and fled.-~Halston" In

WHO IS MOST RESPONSIBLE?

Spies told us that the only way FOX
us to gain our point would be for us ia
murder oppressors and destroy their
property. AT last he pointed TO the
McCormick's factory and said we
should start there. He then jumped
off the car on which he was standing
while speaking: and walked toward
the factory, we all followed him. Al
the gate we met the workmen employ.
ed in the factory, and taking them for
nOn-union men we commenced to
throw stones at them. Here
noticed something which has cured me
of following a braggart's advice. As
soon as the trouble began the man who
uged us to deeds of violence jumped
ON q Blue Island avenue car aud went
home, leaving us to reap the fruit be
had sOwn.
The above is the confession of one
of the Chicago rioters. Who is the
more guilty-such a man as Spies or
the socialistic thug who, in accord
ance with Spies suggestion, threw tie
bomb Tuesday night? Should there
be any difference in their punish

WHY HARPER DIDN'T.

If the "article engendered feeling
that ought not to exist" it certainly
went beyond the purpose for which il
was intended. We desired 10 let our
people know in what hight they stand,
and we fail to see our structures, SO far
AS the EAGLE is concerned, were too
severe Nor do we doubt the asser-
ton of Mr. Murdoch when he SAYS he
has tried 10 be fair and honorable.
lie might be that and still not work
for our interests. We do not know
of anything that binds him in honor
TO our interests. SO we say
he might work against us and
still be honorable, just as all
in Harper believe has done in the past.
We hope in the future however, that
what other objects being attained, the
EAGLE. will find il TO its interest tn
assist Harper. OF course we could not
expect any man or paper to assist us
to his cwn dctriment.
What will be the interest of Wichita
in this matter viii be the interest of
Harper. While this is so we do not
want a speculative road any more than
does Wichita. We would deplore as
much as they il road should be
constructed and sold to the Santa Fee
And yet we have never seen denial
of the generally accepted theory that
&. Wood Davis is building q his road
for speculation. That il will be sold
to any road that will operate it. His
is no road There is not foot of the
Chicago, st. Joseph and Fort Worth
road in existence. We have had per-
sonal assurance from one of the Wich-
ita Committee of twenty" that there
is nothing whatever back of the T..
Wood Davis scheme. No one can lay
any blame TO us for being
skeptical on the question after such
assurance from one who was formerly
n hacker of &. Wood Davis. We give
this as we have il, but we are not at
liberty TO say who the gentleman is.
but he is, as we said one of the COM
mittee of twenty. We hope he is mis-
taken, and if there was IA crumb of
hope extended TO us we would gladly
accept it. But our people cannot af-
ford 10 bind themselves hand and foot
for two ear upon an uncertainty. Ii
will be unreasonable and useless TO
ask them to do sO.-liarper Graphic.
Still we insist that the EAGLE is
being misinterpretcd. What we meant
by honorable" was that we were hon
estly in favor of getting road built
between Harper and Wichita at the
earliest practical day. and by the sur
est corporation obtainable.
The Graphic says there is not foot
of the {. ST. j. and FL. w. built. The
EAGLE equally truthfully says that
there is not 4 foot of the &. N. & X.
(the Chicago and Rock Island extern
sion) built either.
As for the assurance of member
of the committee of twenty that is
evidently a mistake, for every member
of that committee knows better. Some
man who was present at some of the
meetings of that committee by invita-
ton, may have said SO, but all the
same every member of the committee
knows better.
As for other points contained in
the Graphic's articles and doubts ex-
pressed, that people can hear from
Mr.. Davis direct no doubt, and will
hear from him if they will.

A community investing in railroad
bonds rapidly gets its money back.
Sedgwick county has voted great
deal of money in bonds to aid rail-
roads. The list of rich men in Wichita
mentioned last week shows that the
people have more than got their money
back. Those figures show that rail.
road bonds costs nothing, because
they created more than the people
pay. This is true of the j G. & Fit
X. bonds of Davis county. These
bonds have never cost the taxpayers
of Davis county one dollar. They
brought into the county as much al
they added to the tax rolls, if not
more.-JunctiOn City Union.

KANSAS CITY'S sWAGCER.

Wichita is the liveliest real estate
market in Kansas. 1t is in many
respects the liveliest city. Wichita
has been a little too ambitious. She
has endeavored to compete with Kan
sas City, which was mistake. BY
settling down to honest rivalry with
the cities of Kansas she may dream Of
future triumphs. Wichita has about
as little effect on Kansas City as Kan.
sas City has on London.-Kansas City
Times.
The swagger of the above equals in
altitude the apex of Sesostri's pyra
mid. When was the Times clothed
with the magnaminity and endowed
with the inscruitable discretion evi
denccd by the above? Will that paper

Kansas which Wichita might rival tt
The extent of dreams of future tri'
umphs? If there are any such places
the average Wichitan is in utter ig
norance Of the fact. In what direction
has Wichita been a little too ambiti
Gus? Has il been in The past that she
has made arrangements for the con-
struction of three of the Missouri river
trunk line railroads down into hei
marts; or was il in that she proposes
TO pack the beef and hogs of this val
ley at her own yards instead of send

As for Wichita having as little effect
on Kansas City as that place has on
London, are you just right and quite
sure of that? Some people pretend to
say that all Kansas City is to-day she
owes to Kansas and as she has had the
whole of Kansas TO pick aud fleece
maybe Wichita's cutting of or taking
to herself one-half of what has made
Kansas City will not affect Kansas
City. We hope it won't, and SO we
hope that the average Kansas City
man may It last manage to get TO
Heaven, but at the same time we
keenly appreciate the unwisdOm Of
such groundless and improbable
things. Now, Mr.. Times, Wichita has
accomplished more, has grown faster
and greater, in the frs: fourteen
years of her existence than did Kansas
City for that same period of her cxis-
tencc, but what breaks us all up is the
modest assertion that Kansas City's
growth and importance in any way
affects London whose average burgher
we had innocenily supposed had never
heard of the metropolis of the Sni
Hills

THE WAY TO TALK.

The Wichita EAGLE keeps hammer
ing away, trying to convey an impress
sion to the world that Harper had
positively refused to assist the c..
Wood Davis deal, by sending back the
proposition sent to this city tor
signers, accompanied with Q statement
to the effect that said road was not
wanted. We have taken the trouble
to investigate the charge made by the
EAGLE and find that one or two
copies of the propositions had been
sent to the city, but none had been
circulated for eigners. or at least we
were unable to find q living soul who
had one presented to him. If any man
o. two or three men sent those petit
tons back, stating that the people did
not want said railroad, then there is
something wrong somewhere, and an
unauthorized injury has been done
this community, and the EAGLEshould
speak out and say who these parties
are. No click of men are running
this city, at least there are none who
have been authorized by the people
to through the city council, board OF
trade or any other competent authori-
tv; whereby the feelings of the city are
generally made known, to return said
petitions to Wichita, accompanied
with any such injunctions as stated by
the EAGLE. We understand Mr.. Dav.
is promised to visit Harper; if he
comes, he will probably get at this
problem in better shape and find out
what the feelings of the people rca ly
are. before cOndemning all on account
OF the actions of fem.
Harper wants and needs railroad
connections with Wichita, and the SEN
timent of the people in the whole are
in favor of any road that will come,
and no effort amounting to anything
has appeared on the surface in Oppo-
sition to the &C. W. d." scheme, al
though the whole people have prefer.
ence for the Rock Island extension if
it can be procured, yet in that pi efer-

the EAGLE is able to comprehend the
situation here if he looks at

should do, and qui' threatening, as

We were SO assured. However, all
that's in the past We never intended
threat, and neither Harper or
Wichita can afford breaches. The
