to prosecute the owner or driver of every hack,
dray or other conveyance found in use on our

In relation to the above notice, the question may
be asked what has the Society for the Proven

hacks, drays, &c.?" 1t has very much to do with
it, One OF the greatest difficulties which the agent
encounters frequently is to ascertain whom to pro-

could also take the number of such conveyances
and report to the agent

KANSAS CIrYS LEVEL HEADS.

Not long ago few crOackers were com
planning that not enough building was
being done in Kansas City to justify the
amount of real estate transfers.-kansas
City Times.
The Times would, We suppose, denoni-
nate Socrates croaker and Solomon a
crank. The men who complained that very
little building was being done in Kansas
City il comparison to the amount OF real
estate transfers were eminently level headed
gentlemen The crank is he who goes out
nine or ten miles from the confluence of
the kaw and Missouri rivers and into the
oni hills, lays out another hundred acres in
lots and calls it an addition TO Kansas City,
The people Of Kansas City are loaded down
with millions upon millions Of this kind OF
property, which is totally unproducti7e,
and yalueless, except in a speculative sense.
That her level headed citizens, that her
shrewd business men whom the Times
yclepts croakers fear and tremble for the
results OF the final collapse is not to be
wondered at These Kansas City croakers
would do well to unload before it is too
late and transfer their interest to Wichita
the city of solid promise, the coming great
city Of the west and in comparison to which
Kansas City and Minneapolis will be but
tiourishing villages few years hence.

KINGMAN KINKS

/ 10 the Editor of the Eagle.
! our regular travelling correspondent
thinks that kingman is growing and
booming little city, there can be no doubts.
In fact there is no town west of Wichita, or
IN Southwest Kansas, for that matter, that
can show so much evidences Of prosperity
as the iiourishing capital of Kingman coun-
ty. Her building boom during the past
six or eight months has indeed been re-
maraable, including at least twenty sub
stantial brick business houses and very
large number OF fine residences. Among
the latest acquisitions to the business inter
es's Of Kingman, and which merit an
especial mention, is the Bankers Life and
Trust company, and also the kingman Ma
tional Bank The first named institution
has been but recently organized under the
new insurance laws Of Kansas. which re
quires that all monies or securities. col
lected from policy holders. be deposited
with the state treasurer every three months.
and can be invested by him only in
the most approved Kansas real
estate. school bonds ana other
tirst-class securities in this state.
The officers Of this company are:
President, Geo. E, Filley; vicepresident,
ChaS. Hickman; secretary. J. P. Jones:
financial director, VI H. Child. These are
well-known as representative business men
of kingmrn, whose ability and financial
standing is a sufficient guarantee that the
company will he well managed.
The other new concern and fully as i'm
portant As the first is the kingman National
bank. recently organized with Il paid up
capital of SO ,0o0 and is undoubtedly one
of the strongest financial institutions in the
state. The officers are: President, Hon

Ind: vice-president, H. w Lewis. Of

Another very important enterprise and
one which almost escaped our notice. is the

most ready for business.

PEAR BLIGHT.
It's Cause and th3 Rom ody

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
We have been led to believe for many
years that blight was caused by the poison
Gus sting of an insect The fact that it oc-
ours promiscuously among the branches is
evidence of that theory In times of blight
we often find holes eaten into the SINAI!
branches and eggs deposited some distance
from the entrance in the pith or heart OF
the limb That may occur at other seasons
but never have noticed it, except on trees
affected with bright There is possibility
of the blight being caused by a virus or
fungoid floating in the air at times often
attack the young and tender branches, pen
ctrates and poisons the sap. Infectivc dis
eases are carried from one herd to another.
SO may q poisonous fungoid be car
ried from one plant or cree to another
What ever the cause may be, the remedy
is the same, the knife and the saw Cut
OF every branch as soon as it shows signs
Of blight, burn them at once.
| have never had any blight except once
in 30 years, yet notice it in the city every
reason for some years past. have spoken
to some of the owners telling them the i'm
portance OF destroying the effected parts as
soon as it made lis appearance in order to
check it from spreading. 4. J. Cook.

WhOsa Contracts ?

The leading article In the Industrial
South OF this week proves TO demon,tra-
ton that the fathers OF the republic did not
intend that the clause in the Federal Con-
stiiution which forbids any State from
passing q law lmpairing the obligation OF
contracts should be held TO apply to the
States own contracts, but meant II to APP
ply TO private contracts only-that IL, con-
tracts between persons. IL IL shameful
usurpation which has in the Virginia cou.
pom cases given jurisdiction to the Fede-
raj courts-shameiul not only be-
cause the eleventh amendment foTbids
the States thus to be sued, but because,
even were there no such amendment in the
Constitution, the Constitution, a. it stood
when IL came from the hands Of its trainers,
did not allow the States to be in any way
interfered with on account OF their own
contracts. And that this Is true is proved
not only by the history OF the formation OF
the Federal Constitution, but by the fact
that no State could possibly be under the
necessity Of passing any law impairing the
obligation Of its own contracts, since all
that any State had TO do in order TO get rid
of debt was not to pay it-not to provide
any means Of paying it.
Those Republican journals IN the North
which have been so liberal as TO admit that
the several States, as well as the United
states, must be protected in their rights,
may profitably study the subject OF this
editorial.

II any man hopes by paying In COUPONS
IN save money or bring on a settlement Of
the vexed debt question, be Il reckoning
without bis host. The debt question cannot
be settled save by adherina 10 the Riddle
berger bill and forcing the bondholders to
give I'D the fight. No acceptance OF any
proposition Of the creditors will settle IL ;
and here Is The reason: TX the Democratic
Legislature meets this winter and accepts
the bondbolders' proposition. their ac-
ceptance will meet the fate OF the McCul-
locb bill and be repudiated by the people
si the very next election. The Republican
rarity will assume the same attitude to-
wards IL that II did 10 the McCulloch bill.
The only result achieved by that accept
ance would be the handing OF the State
over to the Republican party. Everything
and every party has chaos in front OF II,
save this one course-pay your tixes In
money aud wear out the bond holders with
Heir coupons. II b either thi. or no MONEY
IN the Treasury, no schools. no charitable
II ,titutions, no anything different from
u bat Il was IN 1877. No political party can
alter the situation, however patriotic might
to its motives: nobody but the people
Themselves can improve it, and no other
way can accomplish this result save piymg

formative pay in money or have your taxes
raised through your own folly. Take your

Small Industries. Again.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Record,
in discussing "Small industries in the
SOUTH" says every large manufacturing
establishment, when once fully under way,
is the parent Of numerous small shops in
which subsidiary industries are pursued.
But, adds our Baltimore contemporary,
"There are other small industries which
can be started and sustained without tie
help OF neighboring factories, aud wilhou,
a large investment in buildings and ma.
chipcry. The New Orleans PjCdylRe, In a
recent No, mentioned some Of these. and
might have added largely TO it, list. Among
other articles, il spoke Of malletS, mqu!S,
step ladders. and bung-0rivers as things
used extensively through the south. all Of
which were brought from the North. A
turning lathe, buzL-saw, Il small water.
power, sufficient to drive any merchant
null in the Allegheny mountains, suffice for
such manufacturing. In a country where
all needed woods abound all these and like
industries can be carried on to advantage,
and the requisite knowledge and skill can
be easily acquired
True. And il is 10 the class Of industries
enumerated IN the paragraph quoted that
we would call the special attention of the
people Of our towns and villages.
