THE EAGLES QUILL

The name of our paper is unique
and "very appropriate" as the Yam
kee said to the Englishman, about the
picture of George Washington.
There is no other name like it in all
the land, yet we have an eagle
which the Monitor says: Screeches
like unto a caliope about little burg
down on the ''Arkansaw." AS a bird,
it is supposed to soar in the
aeriel regions, high above mans foot
stool, yet the EAGLE we are thinking
about, squats down in the dirtiest,
liveliest and already the most cosmO.
politan and metropolitan spot in Kan
sas, and by its screeching, trying to
call the attention of the whole world
to that spot, its nest.
Now the Quill must now be sup
posed as having been plucked from
the pinions of that EAGLE.
We wish it distinctly understood
that Quill is an article plucked from
the pinions of one goose 10 spread the
Opinions of another. Our ''goost
whangs high" whilst the EAGLE
squats down on Marsh.
We hope by means of our Quill to
spread our opinions beyond the limits
of our beautiful city of "LeOn,'
where, thank God, there are nc
marshes" TO breed pestilence, but
where we hope to see the eagle
every morning and welcome lis bright
pages with gladness, and "laugh and
grow fat" at its screenings, as sweet
music TO su editorial ear.
Seriously, Marsh, let us shake ant
exchange. Leon does not wish to be
come a metropolitan and we will dc
all in our power to make Wichita thu
city of our state. and in doing so W,
shall expect to see many of your
business men with their wives anC
daughters making homes in our beau
tifui Leon.-Leon Quill.

KANSAS DAY-A SUGGESTION.

Kansas State Journal.
We would like TO see county super
intendents of the state issue a ''proc-
lamation" setting forth that Kansas
will celebrate her quarter centennial
on tine 29th inst, and suggest that
every district school in the several
counties in the state have exercises on
that day appropriate to the occasion.
Every paper in Kansas should per-
sonally and in lis columns urge
the teacher to act accordingly.
1t woud be a gala day among
the schools, and nothing
could be more fitting. The date
comes On Friday, day whose after
noon at least, is set apart naturally for
speaking peaces." Let the pupils on
that occasion have the Goth o. January
fixed in their minds SO it will stand
out boldly and promptly in their
calanders as "Kansas day" Let them
talk Kansas, think Kansas. write
Kansas. AT Topeka there is to be q
general observance, but there can be
celebration, too, in every county,
every town and every school district.
The half million school children which
the state has can on that day, learn
more of the state than they have ever
known. They can learn with what
truth they can sing and say the praises
of the great state in which they live,
and in whose affairs they will soon be
called upon to take an active part.
win the superintendent take up with
a scheme something like this and
"boom" il: 1t will be work in the
good cause whose fruits will go down
through the coming years. The teach
ers of Kansas will work in harmony
and promptly we believe with any
timely suggestions of this nature.

too ofttimes associated with impure
air and filthy surroundings, and moth

After foaling mares should have the
means of taking free exercise, and if
early in spring and too cold for them
to go into pasture for few hours
they should have run in a shed or
lot, SO as TO allow both mare and colt
to develop their locomotive power
organs and strengthen their constitu-
ton. Before foaiing the feed should
be good sound oats. bran and oil meal.
After foal:ng for first three days feed
should be reduced one-half till the

bran. find, is the best medicine for
mare soon after foaling. AS to water
the greatest OF care should be used

MORE VICTIMS OF THE STORM

a special to the Commonwealth
from Oberlin, Kansas, says, that Intel
ligence has reached here of the death
of several parties by the storm, in the
county west of here, mostly in Sher-
man county.
Last week three men left Wano, in
the center of Sherman county, for
their claims fifteen miles out. Two
of them were unknown but one was a
Mr.. Cherry. They have not since
been heard from and the worst is
feared for.
In Thomas county, party of five
men, land seekers from Nebraska,
were all found frozen stiff. Their
bodies were trkcn to Colby.
Henry Epson, farmer residing in
in this county, few miles from here,
started from his claim to this place OH
foot. Not arriving here and his
friends learning of this, search was
instituted and his lifeless body was
found lodged in snow drift.
Near Otterborne a man named
Griffith, was frozen to death, and on
the Solomon river another body of an
unknown man was found.

KlOWA COUNTY.

4 very meritorious bill, we think
was introduced yesterday, to reorgan
ize the old county of Kiowa. At &
time when it was supposed thai
county would never be settled up, bu,
kept as a grazing field, it was divided
between Edwards aud Comancht
counties. and probably at the time
that was all right; but now, like the
rest of the western part of the state
the county is settled up with farmers
and il is inconvenient for the people tC
transact county business where they
are obliged to. Almost every in
habitant of the old county
wants it rc-established, and
as we learn, there is no serious OBJ
jeciiOn to it from any source. This
reorganization has nothing whatever
to do with other county line schemes
which are before the legislature, and
both friends and foes of these schemes
should favor this one, if we have q
right understanding Of it. This
measure was before the legislature
last year, but owing to its not being
publicly presented in time, it was al.
lowed to die.---COmmonwealth.

CARE OF BROOD MARES.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Mares that are expected to foal il
spring should from now on have daily
exercise by run in pasture or light
work in harness. Close confinement
ofttiines proves injurious in way OF
colt founder or weak colt, as it pre-
vents the mare FROM exercising her
locomotive powers, which is at the
same time Inherited by the offspring.
Confinement in close buildings is in
furious to mare and foal alike. In
both it induces a relaxed, weakened
condition. which lays the system open
to Misunderstanding causes: the effect
on the mare impairs the quality of the
