KIOWA ALL RIGHT.
From the Kiowa Herald.

From the Kiowa Herald.
We certainly can assure our Wichita
friends that Kiowa and Hazelton have been
and are yet willing to do more than their
share of the work to bring the St. Louis,
Fl. Scott ond Wichita railroad from An
thony via Hazelton to Kiowa We have
given ourselves no rest, night or dag, for
the last three months Labor, time and
money have been Drodigally spent to Sc
cure that line, and in the language of a
great and good man-'we are not going to
gag at the tail after swallowing the camel. ]"
We heartily thank the EAGLE for its efforts
to send the road on to Kiowa, and when
the two are linked together by the iron
bands you can let your EAGLE scream, and
the Youthful Giant of the border viii feel
that he has grown at least a foot taller.

HOXIE'S SUCCESSOR.
From the Kansas City Times.

| From the Kansas City Times.
MIR. S. S. H. Clarke the successor of the
| late hr. Hoxie, is such an appointment as
| it might have been expected Nj Gould
would make The general manager Of so
vast system of railway as that Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific must needs be man of vast
experience and great ability. That Mr..
| Clarke fulfills the conditions there IS no
need to tell the people of the west. He is
! well known from his long connection with
the Union Pacific in position of great re-
sponsibility and trust.
Recently on the requirement by Gould
of the belt road at Omaha, Clarke was
elected president of that road. This was
the first official position given him since his
retirement from the Union Pacific, but he
has had all the time some interest in the
Missouri Pacific Exactly what that in
tcrest has been few people know, but he
has frequently upon the southwest
system inspected the line under
orders of Mr.. Gould. Immediately after
the late strike on that system, Clark went
that he would be made general manager,
Mr. HOxie retiring on account of i'll health.
This rumor was not widespread and was
never 1ulnlIed no hatter "haI tne piSIs
might have been.
Mr.. Clark is described by one who
knows him as very unpretentious in appear
ance He is quite six feet high and very
slight with a long neck, q red face, sandy
hair, and a small beard He dresses with
out regard to fashion and wears . SLOUGH
hat, and in general would be more likely
to impress an ordinary observer as grang
er than a railroad man. Ittakes, however,
but few minutes conversation with him
to convince person that he is man of
extraordinary ability. He is peculiarly q
railroad man, and a thorough one, having,
In the estimation of prominent railroad
men, more knowledge Of what railroad
should be than any other man in the coun-
try He is about fifty years old, married
and has several children.

Snow is hard work; to run a snow-plow is
fun for the boys, old and young. A plow
may be easily made that will quickly clear
the paths about the house. While about it,
do not forget the public sidewalks in front
of the place-Snow, if it collects in the
tops of trees, and freezes there, is apt to
iniure.t them, especially ifevergreens. Shake
out the snow befor it becomes damp aud

disfgured by snow collecting in them; this
may be prevented by winding a coaase twine
spirally yaround them---Leaves.-I snow

the teaves from the lawn and roadsides--
Seed and Bulbs should be cared for; clean
and place the seeds in paper bags properly
labelled both these, and such bulbs as may
be taken up in fall should be kept in a dry
place where the temperature is uniform and
but little above freezing, and safe from
theattacks of mice--Tuberoses should be
kept where the temperature is not below
fifty degrees--ImplemeRts shauld be
cleaned and laid away for winter first max
ing all needed repairs-Young Trees, es-
pecially evergreens, Unprotected for Il few
years after planting, do all the better. Pine,
spruce, or other evergreen branches stuck
in around the small ones, or tied in the
tops of larger ones, are the best protec-
ton.
