damage to the extent of nearly $500, 1000.
The whole section has been devastated and
many settlers have lost everything they pos
sessed. Communication is cut off, as the
bridges and corduroy roads have been burned
or rendered impossible by fallen trees. The
Ontario government will be appealed to for
aid.

RAPID TRANSIT.
To the Editor of the Eagle:

To the Editor of the Eagle:
Wichita is wonderful city. As citi-
zen of Sedgwick county l feel an interest
and pride in its fine Improvements, energy,
business and surroundings, was so full of
this egotism, not seeing beyond the Wich-
ita horizon, SO well satisfied with our
prosperity, commercial and other adyan-
tages, did not have an idea other cities in
our state or anywhere could have advan-
tages beyond Wichita, a visit to Kansas
City and Topeka made me aware that
some village ideas yet fingered in the
minds of many of our citizens-the same
old ideas that compelled railroads to go
around and not to the towns, leaving
towns to one side ready to be fenced in
like the old grave yards to rest in peace
citizens in both being in the same condi-
ton. Street car lines dragged by mules
show mans inhumanity to dumb animals
They, with Pittsburg wagons and prairie
schooners, served our fathers well
They have had their day and are resting in
peace Rapid transit is now the order
No city can compete with those who have
it. cheap fare, certainty of time, make dis
tance OF less account. Rapid transit is the
laboring mans, the mechanics and the
business mans ever ready carriage to con-
yey them to their business. and the only
way many families can ride out for pleas
ure or health. Kansas City has numerous
cable roads, after trial on her streets is
now opening her business centers to more
of them. Topeka has miles of motors run
ming in every direction. People who op-
posed them at first are now clamoring for
more lines as necessity. What a relief it
was TO step off the mule drag to motor
power when in those cities. Rapid transit
being the subject of discussion we did not
talk about our motor lines, ashamed 10
own we had any. In comparison we have
none-at least not any better than many
villages have. There is no stopping cars
one TO two miles out from business TO drag
into town at a foot pace. Time is money
besides an additional fare. Let old gran
nyism and old fogyism, honest but ignor-
ant, stand on one side: self interest, zeal
ousy and fraud on the other. The city
council, interests Of the city. and honesty
between. Open your streets TO rapid
transit, every road to run from one side of
your city 10 the other, single fare ss in
other cities. give any and all lines the right
of way, no monopoly, reserve the rights of
the city in cheap fare, frequent and rapid
transit. The companies can give more
service and low fares If they have the same
privileges as in other cities, al Of which
will benefit the people.

a RECKLESS DRIVER.

Another accident due it is claimed to the
reckless carelessness Of hack driver oc-
Cured last evening about 7:30 on Oak
street.
Mrs Dr. Mckee, an elderly lady, and
four children We're in carriage driving
east on the street when behind them they
heard the sound of a rapidly advancing
vehicle Mrs. Mckee, who was driving
glanced around in time to see hack, the
lights of which were not burning, coming
as fast as the horses could run toward her.
She pulled her horses to the roadside in
order to give the driver plenty of space to
pass. Instead cf turning, however. he
came crashing into the carriage com
pletely wrecking it and throw
ing the ladies and children to the ground.
The driver who was the cause of the dis
aster whipped up his horse and instead of
stopping and offering any assistance to the
victims of his recklessness drove rapidly
as possible away. The number of his hack
could not be distinguished by the ladies as
the lights were not burning. but gentle
man who was an eye witness to the occur
renee has the number and intends handing
the driver over to the authorities for pun
ishment.
None of the occupants of the wrecked
vehicle were seriously injured and it seems
almost miracle that hey escaped so for
tunate. They were all put upon the mo-
tor line and carried to Mrs. Mckee's
home in Fairmount, the carriage
having been rendered useless by the force
of the collision.
The police have had of late considerable
trouble with the drivers in their efforts to
enforce the city ordinance requiring the
lighting of hack lamps. The drivers may
observe the law when upon the principal
street and under the direct watch of the
police, but the minute they reach the less
frequently patroled streets they extinguish
the lights, and thus arise the many collis-
ions aud accidents chronlcled.

FELL DOWN STAIRS.

evening about O'Clock quite a
serious accident happened on East Doug
las near the EAGLE Office A man, consid-
erably under the influence of intoxicants,
pitched headlong down the stairway lead
ing to Mr. Spurgin's real estate office,
rolled across the sidewalk and into the
gutter. Here he was found by some per
sons attracted by the noise made by him in
the fall, placed upon the sidewalk and a
policeman sent for. Officer Charley Bur
rows took the man into carriage and had
him driven to the police station. Drs.
RentZ and Silverman were sent for: an ex-
animation showed that the man had a
long, deep cash over the left eye, his
face and body were badly bruised
and his left arm was dislocated. His in
juries were promptly attended TO and he
was afterwards removed to his home Oh
South Topeka.
He said his name was Tom Ragau but
he could give no satisfactory account as to
how he came by his serious injuries. There
seems. however, to be 10 foundation for
the report that he was knocked down the
stairway, but he most likely in his
drunken stupor wandered up the dark
stairway, lost his footing, and being un-
able to recover himself fell sustaining the
injuries as stated.
The injured man has bat recently moved
to the city. He has wife and two child
rem on South Topeka. His wife seemed
very much affected by the occurrence and
says that she never knew him to be drunk
before in all his life; although he always
had whisky-she. however. said nothing
about his ever before tackling the Kansas
article
