OF the Vail Investigating Committee,
appointed at its last meeting at Chi
cJgo, February 10th, will be consid-
ertd. For months before the Con
gress met charges had BEEN made that
the dealings Of Secretary Vail, OF the
National Trotting Association, with
members of the association had been
carelees and full of neglect that
seemed studied and that moneys in his
hands and due members could not be
obtained. 1t was also charged that
acknowledgements OF general CORE
spondence, and especially relating to
moneys due, could not bs obtained.
In addition, it. was insinuated, rather
than cha ged, that the financial afsiTs
of the office were in bad way. The
committee investigated and made
its report, which has been print.

congress is to receive and accept or
reject. Its acceptance will be a vir-
tusl vote Of "puilty," and will herald
Secretary Vsil's official decspitation.
Its rejection will mesn that he will be
reelected. Among the best known

A Common Cold

Quent exposures, became worse, nnaly

OLEOMAR GARINE ..

To the Editor of Eagle.
With your permission l will talk with
my old frield, Doc Minturn, through
the columns of the EAGLE, as there are
thousands of our people as deeply interest
ed in this bogus butter" business as we.
In his open letter" found in the EAGLE
some days ago he reproduces a lot of old,
stale resolutions that are made up Of the
same material as this bogus stuff and col
ored in the same compound displayed by
Senator Ingalls, while making his oleomar-
garine speech in the United States sena e
some time ago.
You say: There met in St. Louis q
convention of the stock exchanges and re
solved that the passage of the act taxing
oleomargarine has deprecated the value of
cattle and hogs from So TO IS per head
and must De repealed.
Is ii possible you believe one word of
this statement? Absurd. Don't you know
that the only persons who lose in this bus
iuess are the poor country people, while
the only persons benefited are the rich
packers OF the city? Don't you know that
these Shvlochs come into eur state from
old mossb,ek Missouri on purpose to rob
Kansas people and carry their plumber
back to Missouri:
Stock exchange, indeed That is TO say
stock gamblers. blackhgs, gentlemen OF
wealth and leisure Nillionaires of the
cities OF St Loui. and Kansas City resolve
that any law passed b. the congress of the
United States that prevents Us from rob
bling the people of Kansas is unjust and an
outrage
OF course it IS.
Doc. be honest now. How much stock
do you own in this at Loui. exchange?
How much oleomargariBe 10 they manu-
facinre per yesr. ana shat is the per eeat.
OF profit Your oaer letter indieaies
strongly that you are Do, cniy interested
but well posted On the wrong side
am sorry tina: my aid friend should say
Wichita eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1886-1890, 1886-12-29

or even iusinuate that Zone half of all the
butter made is not fit for human food y
While this statement may have been par
tally true ten or fifteen years ago, with
the scanty means then available to make
and keep it, yet it will not do to say so
now You know of your own personal
knowledge that there is radical change
for the better, and that few short years
will place our farmers in condition that
everything they make, raise or handle will
be frst-class and genuine; and you also
know that Oleomargarine is a counterfeit,
and those who pass counterfeit should be
prosecuted.
Now let me say in conclusion, not only
of this letter but On this entire subject,
that the opening up of either wholesale
or retail-or Dollhouse in Wichita OF
this bogus butter will tend directly and in
directly to the great detriment and loss to
our people. As stated by the Malvane
business man, SO it will be by every bust
ness man in the country. We are the loser
and Missouri the gamer. We grant them
license to destroy legitimate and honor
able business, and substitute therefor de-
ception, fraud, counterfeit. Can We
afford it? Respectfully,
JNO. KELLY.

Wichita. So completely was our friend
set all up of heap by what he so unex-
pectedly encountered in the way of real
metropolitan life, that on returning to the
quiet puerlieus of the capital city he
devoted no less that Ten editorials in his
Mondays edition to Wichita. He starts
out by declaring that Wichita people eat
goose on Christmas and pluck people the
balance OF the season; next, that one Of
Wichilas preachers, who has made
a fortune in real estate, is known
by the name Of 25x140 that Kan
saS Citys boom was busted by a
southern methodist leaving that town and
going to Wichita, joining the NJ E. church
the first Sunday; that the churches COM
mencee service at an unusually early hour
Sunday morning SO that the congrega-
tions can put in the afternoon showing
people eligible lots at 81 600 per front
foot; that the intimate friend of Jay Gould
informed him that Wichita's only hope of
an opera house is through Topeka CAPT

MINING NOTES.

Some Mexicans have discovered good placer ground about fourteen miles east of Florence and about one hundred yards from the back of the Gila river. Experts have examined the property and say that if properly worked the mines can be made to yield S2o day to the man. It is about fourteen feet to bedrock.
 There is quite little town at the Vekol mine now. The latest reports say that there are nearly loo men working and that there are 2Io souls in the camp. The mine is turning out the usual large amount of bullion. They afe sinking a new well and tile present prospects ate that they will soon have a bountiful supply of water.

He in- forms the Star that large gold dis. trict is being developed. The gold leads are all large and will generally average from $40 to S3o per ton in gold. There is plenty of water in the valley. Quite stir is now being made in the district. It IS sixty miles to the Centennial district from Sentinel Peak station on the Southern Pacific railroad. Star.
 The Reymert mines still keep im- proving and 1t would be a very diff cult task to find group of mines any where that would equal them in the extent and richness of the orc bodies that they contain. For time there was some difficulty in treating the ore, but we understand that this has been overcome and that the mill IS now running steadily and that they are saving the metal in the ore up to a high per cent. A ninety'two pound brick was shipped to San Franciso this week, being the pro- duct of but few days run.-Plnal Record.

One-Thcusand-Dollar Ante.

heard story the other day about the national game of poker which rather discounts the tough poker yarns which from time to time appear in the papers of the west. A number of gen tlemen were sitting on chars in front of the Ebbitt House, when the subject of poker came up. Stories of several games were told and laughed over, when a gentleman, who had not said much up to that time, remarked: "Well, boys, your stories of big games are good enough, but l sat in game one time when the pot was worth playing for. It was in 1865, soon af- ter Lees surrender. There were SIX or seven of us at Atlanta, and game of poker was proposed. The ante was fixed at ST 900, and the limit at S5,- coo, ,ooo, and the play was lively, l tell you. We played from to in the morning until after midnight, and a pot was seldom open with less than s5oo, 900 in it. On one hand the bet tlng got quite lively, and when a straight flush finally beat four queens the winner raked in nearly Sso. .ooo. eoo," The gentlemen sitting around pufed their cigars silently, and ad miration for the boss liar of the sea son was visible on their CountenanCe.

Again silence reigned for a moment or two, when one of them inquired: "What kind of money were you playing fors' Well he answered, that was the trouble. It was, as l said, right after the war.

Injury to Hides by Branding,

At the meeting of the congress of cattle growers in St. Louis last year, a commijlee on branding was appointed. This committee, which was repre- sentative one, in their report called attention especially to the injury done hides by the present process of brand. ing, which amounts from trihing sum 10 upwards of S4 per animal, and submitted 10 the convention the fol. lowing suggestions, which are as time y now as then,
 First-To make the brand as small as can be plainly seen, and consisting oi as few characters as possible.
 Sccond-To put the brand where il will o.the least injury.
 Thrd-To use for temporary pur- poses temporary brand that will not pljure the hide.
 We are not aware whether this re- port has had the effect of inducing ceti'emen in this portion of the range country 10 adopt new and more sim pie brands or not, but no intelligent oattleman will disagree with Us when we assert that the time has passed tor brandiug circus posters on the sides of cattlej it don't pay.-Sagebrush Stockman.
