ELECTRIC LIGHT.

Judge Hill raised Captain Smyth's bris-
ties last night when be. in explanation Of
the haste displayed by the council in grant
ing the franchise to the Schuyler company
compared with the multitude of conditions
they imposed on himself for the mere fran
chise. The old council popped the franchise
for the other company through like house
afre, and were willing to grant the Schuy-
Ter company the lighting of the city to
boot. Judge Hill said the scales had
dropped off Capt. Smyth's eyes. Mr.. Hill
said that all be wanted was an even chance
with the other company.
If the council gave them Il lights lie. them
give him Il and then let the best light win.
Capt. Smyth rose, with rufiled feathers, and
asked to make personal explanation. He
said q good deal but the main point he made
was that Judge Hill was afraid of competi-
ton. The captain is generally pretty level
headed but in this matter he was sadly of,
for, a. far as the city as corporation is con-
cerned, it shut out all competition when it
contracted with one company for all the
lights of this city. This contract, il
it is q contract, of which there is
. reasonable doubt, simply robs the ta1pay-
srs of this city of the benefits of all compe-
tition for the time given. Captain Smyth
disclaimed being approached by any of the
Schuyler folks and said his only object was
competition, yet he is in great hurry TO
shut out competition. Mr.. Adams state
ment about telsgraphing Captain smyth
from Illinois would seem to indicate tia.
the captain must be more than ordinarily
interested, else he wouldn't be selected in
stead Of the mayor, IS the man to be
notified of what the Schuyler company bsd
done. The mayor said he knew Of no
regular contract being entered into with the
schuyler. At any rate he had not signed
any such contract. The city attorney said
that was not required unless the mayor and
council so demanded. Judge Ruggies said
that at the las; meeting. when the mayor was
absent on account of sickness. Capt Smyth
and Others of the old council were anxious
to hasten the closing Of that contract, which
was good evidence they didn't think j; bad
been done at the previous meeting. Tie
mayor said Of course the old council would
stick to their view of the case, but here
il new council and the fus
thing they want to know in this connection
ia, has legal contract been made. The
mayor is in doubt on the point - il stands,
but says IL this vas . city Of the frs: class,
he knew il would be 10 contract There
Vas long discussion on this subject bu:
owing to the lateness Of the hour no definite
action vas reached when the council Cd
journed A fall account Of ali that vas
said would be both interesting and amusing
but owing to the iatsness Of the hour j, can
not Be given this morning.

HORTICULTURAL. SOCIETY.

To the Editor of the Eagle:
The 10th semi-annual meeting of the Kan
sas State Horticultural Society will be held
in Wichita in June, at which will be pre-
sented county reports OF the progress OF
horticultural in Kansas, on trees, roots, fruits
and plants, and other important matters con-
nected with tree culture and frui: growing.
The display Of Sedgwick county products
of fruits stood first on the list of our last
State Agricultural Society in Topeka, and
also took the geld medal at the Cincinnati
Industrial Exposition.
The object OF the State Horticultural
Society is TO properly classify and fully
ascertain the most profitable fruits adapted
to our climate and luxurisnt soil. Every
farmer in our county is more or less benefited
by the progress made in this department,
and ought to manifest an interest in the sue
cess of the society in Sedgwick county. We
have the varieties of fruit in our county dis
tributed among our best farmers, scattered
all over the county; and to the end that all
may have a good opportunity to display
individual products and give their views
and knowledge gained in producing it, We
have organized county horticultural socie-
ty, which is to meet at the Office of the see
rotary on the oath day of April, at 2p. m.
and to which all persons interested in this
department are invited, to participate in our
deliberations and become members. The
fee is but one dollar to become
. member. We also propose to perfect
arrangements for the semi-annual
meeting to be held here in June. The ad-
vantages to be gained ere many and Of
great value to every fruit producer. At
county horticultural society each individual
can exhibit his own productions a. his own,
and not depend on his neighbor to make .
display of all he can gather from adjoining
orchards in this and adjoining counties, and
exhibit them as his productions. Our county
has assumed such proportions now that We
can veture to hold . successful county her-
ticulturai society next autumn, and also
make display at our County Agricultural
society September 10Th to oath.

1t Is a singular fact that in nine tenths
of the cases, the fresh air is let into the
stable at the rear of the cows instead of
IN front of them. The result is that the
cold air drops down behind the cows in
the way to their heads, and sweeps along
with 1t the odors from the smoking
droppings, added to the constant exhala-
tlons from the cows bodies, for them to
to inhale at every breath. Some have
been argued that this is the correct way of
introducing pure, because animals turn
their tails to beating storm. They for
get that the animals seeks to protect its
eyes, and to avoid strong current which
interferes with breathing, while its head
Is still in the midst of plenty of fresh air.
The cases of a COW in a storm and COW
in stable are not the same. ANY animal

its face to the light and its nose to the

draft in front of the cows, but often there
is none, while few make a free use of

via and almost suffocating. And then the

and smells of the stable.
No amount of careful milking and
handling of the milk will prevent this

odors and favors which have been inhaled
by the cows have mingled with their blood

Lack of Interest.
breeders G8Zette

Said one man to another in a street car
the other day: 1T looks like rain; the
country needs it." To which the person
addressed replied: 1T makes very little
difference with our business 1t is indeed
surprising the degree of ignorance dis
played by those in general trade concern
ing the Importance of agriculture and the
part is sustains in the progress and pros
poets of the country. 1t is well under
stood, of course, that without the farmers
the food supplies would fail, but it is not
SO well understood that they are the great
est consumers of manufactured products,
and that directly or indirectly they fur
niSh the market which sustains every
manufacturing enterprise; it is not so
well understood that very large proper
ton of the So-called commerce and trade
of the country consists merely in the
transfer or manipulation of the products
of the farm, it is not so well understood
that it is throug h the expectation of agri-
cultural products that the millions of
money are brought back to our stores,
which through the operation of other
agencies is constantly sent abroad. If
these matters were better appreciated
public measures would be considered
more in the light of their effect upon
agricultural interests, and there would be
more care taken to conserve the pros
perity of the agricultural classes. There
can be no real permanent business or
commercial activity here unless it has
for basis prosperous condition of the
agricultural interests, and whether the
condition of the farmer is disparaged by
public Indifference, unwholesome laws,
unfayOrable commercial conditions, or
from lack of rain when 1.-The country
needs it." 1t will and does make differ
ence with every mans business, legiti-
mate or speculative, whether it is APP
pret lated or not.
