derly House.

the charge of keeping a disorderly house
Levi lives in a small frame house situat-
ed on an alley near the store of Reese &

they each were fined the following day
81 and costs. The first witness called at
the hearing on Monday night was Mr.. r.
G. Reese who could ouly charge the place
with general disorder. He thought that
the most noise was when Levi was at
tempting to drive the drunken men away.
Mr.. John Wilkinson who lives near the
house had heard much swearing and of
fensive talk about the place. 1t was
worse on Saturday nights aud Sundays.
He saw white and black men and one
women drunk around the place. John
B. Meyer said that there was often swear
ing and fighting in it. He was SO annoy
ed by it at nights that he could not sleep.
Levi eudeavored TO drive them away
sometimes. He had seen woman who
bears bad reputation there several
times. Two ladies who reside in the
neigh borhond also testified to the dis
order, swearing aud offensive talk at the
house and in the neighborhood of it. Mr..
Boulder said in defence that he could
not keep the drunken persons out of his
dwelling. That they got drunk in the
neighborhood and came to his house.
Magistrate Scott decided to hold Boulder
in 5000 bail to appear at court to answer
the charge and in default of bail he was
committed to Jail

This is the back bone and the strength

is Immediately available as plant food
and over per cent. is ''insoluble,' which
being derived Ent;rely from ANNA
Bones, becomes gradually soluble in the
soil, and thus renders the Sure Growth &
more durable fertilizer than the large

Before you buy, compare the analysis q

Dear Sirs:-We use about eight tons

and for several years past have divided
our order between Sure-Growth and
another fertilizer, popular in this section

trial am satisfied that Sure Growth is
equal to the best goods on the market.
We have had elegant results from it on
wheat, and the grass from it is heavier
than from anything else.

Gentlemen:-I have bought Sure
Growth Super Phosphate for three years
from your agent James A. Boulder. 1t
has been my custom to use on wheat two
or three of the best known Phosphates
on the market. Last year, along with
Sure Growth, used two other grades of
goods of like character, both popular in
this section-one costing the same, and
the other more money than Sure-Growth.
My wheat from seventy-five acres yielded
all through over twenty five bushels OF
red per acre, and about thirty bushels of
Fultz per acre. If there was any differ
ence in the crop from the three fertilizers
it was in favor of Sure Growth. | shall
use it again this Fall,

ONE-SIDED VIEW.

| To the Editor of the Eagle.
In your structures in Fridays issue on
my editorial squib in the Wichita District
Advocate relating to tie Methodist college
at Winfield / notice an error or two which,
| by your permission, will correct through
your columns.
/. You say: "All there was to it, and
in the absence Of any endowment or prom
| ised endowment, the town was asked to
give the Site, to give the money, and then
to give the completed structure to the
trustees of the conference" To this l re-
ply, the conference did not authorize its
locating committee to ask. any such thing,
and l know they did not ask it. The com
| mittee, representing young, but ambi-
tious, though not wealthy conference.
simply gave the different cities and
towns an opportunity to bid
| for the location of the college. The pre-
vailing sentiment among the leaders of the
enterprise was that any city could we'll af-
ford to give the site and sufficient money to
construct suitable building, in view of
the varied advantages naturally accruing
| from the location of first-class school of
collegiate grade and powers And it was
further thought due the city securing the
college to expend about all the money
donated On the structure, and draw upon
the church and its friends throughout the
conference for money to defray the run
ming expenses Of the school, and in time to
work up an endowment. Indeed it was
| well understood by the locating committee
and every other person at all inter
ested, with the possible exception of
yourself, that no city would make any
proposition except on the condition that
tie conference establish and forever main
tain first class school of college grade.
And everybody knows that to furnish the
site and build the structure are compare
lively small factors in a successful college
enterprise.

what is it going around and asking people
to do all the work and contribute all Of the
money!" The Methodist church IS not
some great abstraction, of some where
| apart from all creation, with a huge vault
full of money 1t consists Of intelligent
men and women scattered through
every city, town and country
place, with willing hands and
open hands to every moral, philanthropic,
and intellectual enterprise. The treasurers
of the church are the purses of its mem
bcrs, and the duly appointed agents OF the
church have right to call upon its mem
bers and its friends for contributions. and
they have right to respond. And that
is Just what the methodists did and are
doing with reference to their so-called col
lege." And we shall sill continue to DO it
with or without the consent of the EAGLE.

TIE DEMOCRATS, ROW.

The little row occurring in the Demo
cratic central committee this week, over
the names of what Independent candi
dates should 90 on their ticket and what
ones should be left off, it seems was no lit
tie row after oil, but one Of huge proper
tons. That committees assumption that
it owned the foreign vote, especially the
Irish Catholic vote, didn't pan out, espcc-
tally as the candidate, q particularly bright
Catholic STAR had been ignored. Well, we
can't see as it Will make any difference as not
a single nominee on the Democratic ticket
stands the ghost Of show Of being elected.
Republicans are Republicans about this
time of year and Republicans arc not round
voting mugwump and Democratic tickets
with Grover Cleveland and his outrageogsly
extensive Democratic administration run
ming things on free trade guage to de-
struction. We all like our neighbors as
neighbors, but when we know that neigh
Dor is wrong we are not going to go wrong
too simply because it is our neighbor.
Therefore let the Democrats have out their
own fight and among themselves as 1t won't
effect the vote of q single Republican in the

ROBBED.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Having noticed in late issue of the
Beacon that great and magnanimous
county was about to be robbed of a valua-
BILE piece of property by a poor widow un
less its rights were defended, an observer
would ask why does the great and mag
unanimous county propose to rob poor
widow of her sacred rights? Does the
said great county propose TO defend its
poor widows in their sacred rights TO prop
erty to which its poor widows have never
signed their righrs away? Does this great
and magnanimous county hold deed to
said valuable property with the poor wild
ows signature affixed? If so it is base
fraud. The poor widow never wanted and
never did sign any deed to the square upon
which the Jail now stands, Thus the poor
widows claim upon the property. Oh,
magnaninous county, we deplore thee.
[In reply to the lady who wrote above
we have only to say that we have had no
sympathy with the howl set up by the
Beacon. We knew Munger as far back as
SO, knowing of the early struggles of himself
and wife in starting Wichita. and we hav
said at least dozen times in public that We
really wished that the woman who did SC
much to Law the foundation of Wichita.
and who now has nothing, would get the
square of ground for which she Is contend
inc and which, while it would make hei
rich. the county would never particularly
miss. Ed. EAGLE.
