He had not been long in my hut, and
we were talking about the best method
of first concealing him and then getting
him away, when suddenly stopped in

/" Bill turned half round but the
peak Of his cap being drawn over his

vestment in itself, and no man pretends
hat the public generally require it, or in
fact that they require anything better than
the present system, improved from time to
time, as it surely will be.
In conclusion l will say that the Wichita
Street Railway company is a creature OF
the city of Wichita The ordinance Great
ing it was passed deliberately and after
much discussion and the rights of the
people were carefully guarded, as can be
seen by an examination Of the ordinance
The obligations placed upon the company
are many and the penalty Of disobedience
is a forfeiture Of our exclusive rights,
Both the benefits and obligations between
the company and the city are mutual. Is it
unreasonable for those who have expended
a large amount of money, based upon the
good faith of the city to complain at this
constant threat of interference and destruc-
ton of their property? Let the city assure
the company that its rights shall be pro-
tected, thus giving stability to the invest
ment, and the effect will be seen
in a more efficient street car service and
material and lasting benefits to the
city. Yours respectfully

BARBER COUNTY'S JAIL.
Ore # the Best Prisons in the State
Large and Well Ventilated.

| From the Medicine Lodge Cresset.
For some time the Debold Safe and
Lock company, who have the contract for
our jail cells, gratings and vault doors,
have been putting in their work, and last
| Saturday, the work being almost com
pleted, the commissioners decided to test 1t
according to the specifications and con
tract Three blacksmiths, namely, Ed
| ward Mullikin, S. 2. Garrison and John
RYAN, armed themselves with large and
small hammers, drills. cold chisels and
files, and attacked the bars and plates.
Quite a crowd of citizens in addition to
the officials and the company's agent were
present, and al could see that the tools had
little or no effect on the work.
The bars and plates are composed OF al
ternate layers of iron and chrome steel -
three of iron and two Of steel-making five
in all. There is a layer Of iron on each OF
the outside surfaces and on the iron the
chisels would have an effect, but soon the
steel would be struck, the chisels ruined
and the drills turned without making any
impression. Files would cut the iron but
would slide over the steel making hardly Il
stratch. When it came to using the sledge
hammers the object in using the iron with
the steel was apparent, as the heavy blows
from the sledge, which would have shat
tered the brittle steel, had no effect on the
combined iron and steel The examination
was satisfactory all around and the county
officers have accepted the work.
Barber county's Jail is tirst-class in
every respect 1t is located in the base
ment of the court house-thc north
east room The Jail proper is about
16x1G and has two IONIC stone cells, with
seven foot ceilings, built in the southwest
corner. These cells are for lunatics and in
mates Of like character. The remaining
room 16x34 contains two Xxi steel cells
with q steel hallway leading into and
guarding their entrances, and round iron
III hospital cell The steel cells are locked
by levers and padlocks while the hospital
cell has only paddock. Each steel cell
has four hunks The sanitary arrange
ments are of the best A large tank on top
of the cells furnishes an abundance of wa
ter, bath tub in the hallway or corridor
will enable inmates to keep clean, while
the large windows will furnish plenty Of
light and air. 1t is daisy and our officers

LIBERALITY OF OUR CITY COUNCIL

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
While we regard railroads as Of incalcu.
liable advantage to our country, it is neces-
rary that they be circumscribed by laws
lest they go beyond their proper bounds
and become a curse instead of blessing.
SO it is with roads coming into our city.
No one is more favorable to the proposed
incoming roads than l am, but to offer a
street to each road, taking up large part
Of the city and damaging property along
these streets thousands Of dollars without
any compensation to the owners, is an out
rage that beggars language. and no honest
councilman can afford to do it.
The city will soon be solidly built east
to the creek, not considering College Hill
and the fine residences being arranged in
that vicinity. Now how will it look to oc-
cupY Fifth, Meade, Mosely, and Washing
ton Avenues with railroads, taking four
blocks out of the center of the city? Can
such an arrangement be found in any city
in the wide world? Why not widen Fifth
street and require all roads to occupy It?
Or, if this is not enough, condemn the
property between Fifth and Meade, which
will give all the incoming reads more room
than is occupied by the same number of
roads in any eastern city.
We hope our councilmen will look to the
interests of the city and those whose prop
erty will be almost ruined by giving them
all this territory, and not their own profit
and everlasting dishonor.

THE SANTA FE'S CHICAGO LINE
CHARTERED THROUGH IOWA
AND MISSOURI.
From the TOpska Capital.

From the Topeka Capital
The charter for the Santa FEES Chicago
line through the states of Iowa and Mis-
souri,, will be filed in q day or two.
The line in Iowa is to be known as the
Chicago. Kansas and Western Railroad
company of Iowa" The charter provides
that the principal place of business is on
the Missouri river in Lee county, Iowa, the
place to be selected by the directors. The
object is to build and operate q road from
point on the Missouri river in
Lee county, Iowa, in a westerly and south
erly direction through Lee county to the
state line of Missouri; and also to build
and operate an extension OF the line
through the state Of Missouri from point
where it intersects the Missouri line i'll q
southwesterly direction to Kansas City,
with branch westerly from the main line
to psint on the Missouri river in Buchan-
an county; also branch from the most
practicable point on the main line south
east to ST. Louis
The amount Of the capital stock will be
S31 500 600, divided into 3l5, 900 shares OF
500 each. The existence of the corpora
ton will commence November %, 1886
and terminate November %, 1896.

The names of the incorporators are A.

Peck. f. Wilder, A s Johnson, of this
city, and George W. McCrary. of Kansas
City.
1t will be seen by the above charter that
one branch OF the Chicago line Will run to
Kansas City, and by the provisions of the
charter another line will run 10 point on
the Missouri river in Buchanan, which
would mean either 10 st. Joseph or Atch-
ison. or both. The line will probably
cross the Missouri river either at Fort Mad
ison or Keokuk, Iowa: il has not been de
termined vet at which place This line
will se thirty miles shorter than the present
short line between Chicago and Kansas

J. +. NEsSLY.

From the Commonwealth.
When the new counties in the western
part of the state were being organized there
were charges of frauds in the ccnsUses, and
a good many people, especially in the east
ern part Of the state, believed that those
counties did not really have the necessary
$500 inhabitants required to permit Of
their being organized. It is extremely diff
cult for persons in the older parts of the
state, who have not been west, to appre-
ciate the wonderful growth which has
peopled those counties The election re-
turns in every instance. we believe, indl-
cate that the population is $500 or more.
1t was therefore right to organize The coun-
ties, and they should be admitted to just
as many privileges as they need consistent
with safety. The west is advancing into 4
