BIG NEW BUILDINGS.

The EAGLE has been KEEP. busy this spring

fast that we fesr il will be impossible to keer
up. Yesterday the following new business
edifices We're heard of for the first time, End
they will involve more money in their cree.
tion than the total sum which will be ex-

Of 10 mean ambition:

THE RAMBLER.

Although very pleasant and fairly active
in business and flying high in real estate
transfers yesterday was not remarkably pro-
cuctive of interesting news items and nv
patent news manufacturing machine was
somehow out of whack. probably for want
of grease, so l couldn't make up anything
that would likely to set well on the public
stomach.
l Irambled the streets up and down, went
to the postofice, the depots, the hotels, the
stores, and talked to all the people, but failed
to grab anything of astounding interest.
At length worn and wearied and being
somewhat affected with the spring fever,
anyhow, determined to HE me sway to
some shady spot. cast off my head gear and
other parts of my harness and write O
humorous sketch, but it didn't materialize
for obvious reasons.
When 1 had made up my mind to become
funny l began to look about for material to
ladle out to an eIpectant public. but with
Indifferent success. In short, 1 could find
nothing. thought of skating rinks, base
ball and the spring fashions, bu. they
wouldn't hitch on to my fun hose car,
worth a cent, and the Wild, ungovernable
desire to fill the readers of the EAGLE with
side-splitting morsels this morning suddenly
died out
A couple Of warm personal friends OF
mine of the opposite eek from myself told
me ought to grind out something humor-
Gus every day, as there was altogether too
much dry fact, big stories about real estate
transfers, aud brick blocks, in the paper to
interest the women. That's all very well'
but my doctrine is that the evil of specuia-
ton, building boems and all such will work
its Own destruction when the proper time
comes, but we may be pretty weary waiting
for the day Of our emancipation from the
humorous sketch. 1t is certainly unwise to
make the cause of humor obnoxious By
feeding it to the people every day. You can
always interest an ordinary mortal of either
sex ty recording important events that
affect the town in which be or she lives, but
you cannot always make one believe that
your humorous effort is success. A short
history Of all that transpIes in
city during the twenty-four hours
is what constitutes the news, and
when it is uninteresting, then 4 little hu-
NOR Is advisable.
A warm personal friend Of mine wrote
ne not long ago that when | got tired of
writing mere froth and foam and foolish
ness, for the amusement of sorrowing
world, and concluded to hitch a few SEN
fences of sense together TO surprise the pub
lie with, to write spicy record of the days
doings.
This solemn chunk of philosophy drink
in, but some days, after trsmping the whole
town over and over without encountering
any event worth chalking down, and | be-
come weary and foot-sore, then it is that the
wild. ungoVernable desire to write some
thing funny seizas Ine and HE me way TO
manufacture something TO infict on an un-
public.

The WAY OF IT.

While We we're talking, Wichita was work
ing-working up the aid for the Rock
Island road under the name of the Omaha
Abilene and Wichita" notwithstanding il
WAS said that when any one Of these trunk
lines came into the state it would come un-
der its own nsme. We have partially
fooled away our day of grace.-Emporia
Republican.
Wichita did no. work up aid for the Rock
Island directly under the name of o. A. and
W. The idea was an independent connec-
ton with some Missouri river trunk line,
either at a point in this state or in Nebraska,
or in both. As /. turned out We are TO get
both. The Omaha, Abilene and Wichita
will reach Omshs, as also st. Joseph and
A;chison and probably Leavenwor,h.
