WE WILL WAIT.

"Marsh Murdock, editor of the
Wichita EAGLE. is receiving consider
able mention from the press and poll
ticians of the great southwest as q
successor of Governor Martin, but
Marsh has already announced where
he stands. He will not be candidate
this year, but will wait until two years
from now.-kansas City Times.
Yes, Marsh will wait until Two years
from now, or wait until ten years
from now if that will make the
anxiously ambitious ones any happier.
AT any rate there could be no real
solid execuiive-enjoyment for an origi-
nal John Brown Republican governor
cotemperaneously with Democratic
national administration, Wait, well
we reckon so: wait at least until the
strikes are over and the patriotic
party of the country is back in power
again blessing the land with purity
and until the Metropolis of Kansas has
been moved from the tail end of the
sin hills in Missouri over to Wichits,
on Kansas soil where it belongs. Yes
we will wait.

SARATOGA ITEMS.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:

10 the 60lbor Oh Inc 6uBte.
The fact that work has actually COM
meuced::on the extension of the Wichi-
tn and Western railroad to Saratoga,
and that it will be built 10 this place
this summer, has caused lively stir
In real estate transactions and started
building boom. Lots are changing
hands every day and the frames Of
three dwelling houses and one bust
ness house were raised in one day last
week, and contracts have been let to
the brick makers for several new brick
business and residence houses to be
erected as soon as the brick are ready
for use, which are being moulded and
will soon be burnt.
Agents representing three nurseries
located in the eastern part Of the state
were here all last week dealing out
their stocks of fruit and ornamental
trees to the farmers of the county,
showing that the farmers ofPratt are
here to stay and are perfectly satisfied
with the outlook for future prosperity.
While some fields of wheat are seri-
ously damaged by the cold weather in
January and February, nearly all the
farmers speak very encouragingly of
their crop. and predict a good yield.
Saratogaians rejoice over the con-
tinued and rapid growth of Wichita
and its future railroad prospects no
ticed by the EAGLE, knowing that if
Wichita becomes the leading city in
the state as she surely has a prospect
of being, all southwest Kansas will
reach high state of cultivation and
improvement in less time than the
same has been accomplished by any
o.her portion of tbs state equal in ter
ritory.
Notwithstanding Saratoga, in the
past two years has had steady and
beautiful growth, she is really behind
what the improved and fast improving
surrounding country needs, and now
that the iron horse has turne his eyes
towards this inviting country, Sarato-
go and the county opens up vast
field to business men aud capitalists,
where they will realize speedy and
proper returns for any investments
they make here.

THE PAOLA LINK.

The Kansas City papers are again
all broke up over the scheme of build
ing the Paola link, Paola having voted
$4,000 and a township in Mama
county agreeing TO vote SIS 900. Kan
sas City is asked TO put up $4,000 of
the 100000, aud that phaze of the
question is Worrying the newspapers
of the humpback town. Some of the
arguments used by these papers would
secure an average Kansas school boy a
thrashing OF the ground proslitu;-
ing his mothers wit. F"i instance
the Kansas City journal says that the
building of this Paola link would give
Kansas City The trade of the territory
lying between the Santa Fe and
Union Pacific, the territory lying west
of Barton. 4 territory flanked by two
roads both of which roads run
directly into Kansas City
and which territory is not touched by

the trash which these papers are
throwing into the eyes of the business
men of Kansas City, The truth is.
and it's evident 10 everybody that
Kansas City is growing very uneasy,
is losing her grip, and her desperation
is something akin to the awful. The
territory named by the journal, true,
will soon be purchased by Gould

OUR FRIEND THE GORILLA.

Not Such . Ferocious Beast After ALI
Characteristics Of Younsster.
Dr.. Van Haren, who passed several
years in the delta Of the Gaboon river,
confirms Professor Brehm's opinion that
the gorilla uses his stout arms chiefly for
two purposes: to bend down branches
that would break under the weight of
his body, and to dart of with wildcat
speed at the approach Of hunter. He
will avoid conflict as long as he can use
his limbs for locomotive purposes, and
If the whole truth were known the man.
killing monster would turn out to be
nothing but an overgrown orang. Van
Haren secured two youngsters, who
failed to survive the first year of their
captivity, but conducted themselves very
much like the pet of the Berlin aquarium,
which at first was supposed to be an al
together exceptional specimen.
One of them was purchased from .
river boatman, and proved to be in a
badly crippled condition, but never be-
trayed its ill-humor by anything worse
than a plaintive grunt. He now and
then would leave his couch in quest Of
tidbits and ransack every trunk he could
open, bu. would promptly defer to the
first protest. \ lifted finger was enough
to make him limp back to his corner.
He learned to hobble forth at the bidding
of his master and seemed to get recon-
ciled to his captivity, but his broken leg
kept him moaning all night. and he died
from general exhaustion. His successor
was too young to masticate bread, and in
default Of milk had to be fed on half
boiled eggs. He would cling to his mas
ter's arm and move his lips with sup
plicating humble, strangely expressive
plea for protection, or perhaps for a
mouthful of more congenial nourish-
ment, for the poor little kid evidently
loathed his egg diet, and at sight of
fresh installment would retreat with
frog-like jumps and all sorts of ludicrous
grimaces.
Strange to say, he seemed very fond Of
liquor, and ogled every bottle with the
leer of dyspeptic; but it was afterward
died him with gusk, or sweetened palm
brandy. There was nothing sanguinary in
his symptoms Of youthful depravity. He
would not touch meat in any form. Even
hash excited his grins of disapprobation.
He was evidently averse to cruelty, for
ut sight of dog-fight between combat
ants of rather unequal size he rushed
forth and shrieked out an appeal to the
mercy Of the victor. All the character
traits of the alleged ogres tended to con-
firm Professor Brehm'sa priori that a
creature with q frugiferous organism
should be swayed by the passions of a
werewolf. -Dr. Felix L. Oswald in Chi
cago Times.

,HE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ROYALTY.
Potentates Who Lay Aside Nest-Eggs fr0l

Potentates Who Lay Aside Nest-Egss from
the Tithes of the People.
Louis Philippe was mean in the sense
The Americans attach to the word and
had no perception of any kind of grand
eur. He cut down ruthlessly, to make
money of them, trees in his parks which
had weathered the storms Of many hun
ired years. His meanness was the ruin
Of his dynasty. From st. Petersburg to
Madrid and London to Athens thrift now
reigns. There is hardly a sovereign who
feels that the income allowed him by the
nation over which he reigns is not for
him or her, but for the dignity of the
crown, and to act as head waiter on
national industry. The car and czarina
themselves. colossal as their private fort
une is, are intent on making it much
greater. Stinginess is traditional in the
house of Hohenzollern, but their civil
list allowances have been never great,
and they shrink from no duty, however
hard and irksome. They have public
spirit in high degree, and command re-
spect. The late king Of Sweden be-
queathed his only daughter the largest
fortune that was ever known in Scandi-
navia, and it would have been counted a
great one all the world over. His father
was Bernadotte, the son of Bearnais
lawyer of small provincial practice.
In Belgium, the royal family is also q
plutocratic one. Although Leopold I
was fleeced by fair harpies in his old age,
he left each of his three children about q
million sterling. Yet NJ. Etienne Arago
remembers when he had to go in debt for
some French embroidered muslin which
he bought to make presents to the sisters
of his Gin 1915 master. the car. Empress
Elizabeth is prodigal, and thinks she can
never spend enough on her stables and
dog kennels; but the emperor Is anxious
to swell his investments and the crown
prince and princess pare cheese
In Italy the king saves to pay his
fathers debts, and nobody, therefore,
complains of his thrift. Ludwig Of Ba-
varia is not of his time. His brother Of
Wurtemburg is not personally extrava-
CANT, like our James !, but Is profuse
through favorites. The one now domi-
mating him is an American, who succeeds
an American. At Lisbon the king
dowager has amassed 50 much as to be
able to spend millions of francs on his
country house near Cintra, and In furn-
ishing it and the palace where he and his
anliable wife live in winter. Maria Pia,
being passionately fond Of dress, Dom
Luis pinches in the stables and wherever
else he can. He, however. only saves
out Of his income. His ministers plumber
by means of frequent loans, but he is not
suspected of receiving share Of the
hauis they thus periodically make.-Lon-

The Circus of Ancient Rome.

The largest circus in Paris accommodates
only 1000 people, while one in ancient
Rome could hold over 10000. where
from 100 to 400 lions were let loose at a
time. Augustus filled the arena once
with $500 wild animals, and one Probus
got up free fight between 1000 wild
boars, 1000 stays. 1000 rams and 1000
orstriches, and the occupants of the
upper galleries-the gods-had the right
to shoot arrows and javelins into the

Diplomatic Management In Persis

Diplomacy, intrigue and influence in
Persia are dependent in large measure
on the force of character displayed by
the women. If man wishes to influence
another in an affair of Importance, he
manages it by confiding the matter to
one or all of his wives, who in turn visit
the wives of one who has influence over
him, and by urging and presents seek to
attain the object. Most of the important
transactions of Persia are conducted in
this manner.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

When Professor Frank Billings sailed
for France with the children from this
city who We're treated by NJ. Pasteur, he
exhibited a lementable ignorance Of the
French language to the passengers and
officers of the steamship Canada In
Paris he was likewise ignorant, and Pas
teur was somewhat surprised that sci-

company the expedition who could not
converse with him without an inter

priced had he followed Dr.. Billings home
and heard him converse in elegant and
mastery French with Mrs.. Billing. who
is native-born French woman. In fact,
the professor kept it mighty quiet in
Paris that he was q finiahed French
scholar.
He had iaudable object In view in
assuming ignorance. He went 10 Paris
to learn something. and knowing that
the Frenchmen are jealous Of their -
crets he wisely concluded that he could
learn more by listening than By asking
questions. The r,ss was successful, and
