A NEW ENTERPRISE.

Some weeks ago Mr.. Mutchler, who is in
terested in q dyeing establishment in Des
Moines, Iowa, and also in one at Ottumwa,
came to this city to look over the facilities
for starting a similar enterprise here. He
had visited Omaha, Topeka and Atchison,
but was not satisfied to locate in any of
those places until he saw Wichita. On
reaching this place it did not take him long
to decide that this was tho place for him,
and he proceeded to make arrangements ac-
cordingly.
A house was rented on Market street, be
tween Douglas avenue and First
street, and Immediately arrangements
were being made to commence business

heard of the city he considered were toe
good to be true. but was led to believe that
he would find lively place.

a MOTHERS TALK.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
am glad they are talking about the half
day plan of school keeping, as going for chill
dren. In my opinion, founded upon observa-
tion and reflection. it is a sin against God
himself to keep young and growing children
in school six hours a day, five days week,
four weeks in a month, and nine month in q
year 1t is unnatural and inhuna2: it is a
sin against God, because it is SHINING agains;
his works. for children are the workmanship
of his hands; it is treating them unaturai &c
keep them still six hours day; because Goo
made them to move every moment, therefore
it is inhuman TO restrain them to such an eN
tent l tell you it is TO long, inhuinan aud
unnatural TO keep children in school Sly
hours day from six to fifteen or slXteeT
years of age. 1 believe it is one cause why
there is such an increase OF crime and ras
callty Tie chilirens' natural feelings art
restrained, pent up and aggravated. and they
