COMMUNICATED.

To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle.
A rather dangerous experience on last
Wednesday morning prompts me TO ask
whether or not we have an ordinance pro
hibiting the use of fire arms within the
city limits? Driving out Douglas avenue
/ heard the sharp report of rifle and the
hiss of bullet within few feet of my
head, which gave rise to some unpleasant
reflections as to what might have been
Sooner or later l expect to lay down this
mortal body for the sleep of death, but
object TO a premature demise at the hands
of a sporting nimrod who is so regardless
of life and property as to discharge his
gun within the city limits. If there is nc
such ordinance there should be. If there
is why not enforce it? II.

THE CITY MARKET.

The new market presented brilliant
appearance last night. The vast crowds
that surged back and forth from door, the
merry laughter of children, the bright
spring costumes of the ladies, the brilliant
electric lights and all enlivened by the
strains of sweet music which was furn-
ished by Shaw's orchestra and foated
down from the hall that has been fitted
up m the front OF the building served 10
make it indeed q scene worthy OF any city
on earth
The splendid manner in which every
thing is arranged IN the market excited
favorable comment from all sides, and as
an institution il is truly an ornament TO
the city. Many Of the stalls sold out their
stocks early in the evening and were com
PEELED to replenish them In order 70 secure
customers. Mr.. Miller says he viii make
feature of the music every Saturday
night. and believes it will be appreciated
by the people.

ANOTHER CHAPTER ENDED.

Mr. Herring left yesterday at noon for
New York, having put in his report on the
sewer system in good condition sfor lrefer-
renee and passed it over TO the city clerk
The report printed in yesterdays issue
gave all chance to see it and anyone
having time to discuss CITY matters yes
terday would as rule pass an opinion on
the system recommended. Some were
favoring it with confidence while others
opposed it But few, however, thought
that the question should be allowed to
sink below public attention but should be
discussed and acted upon. No one seemed
to question his ability or the honesty Of
his raDort

KNIFE AND GUN.

Last night between the hours of II and
12 o'clock man by the name of James
Bodine, who was somewhat intoxicated,
began quarrel with II. h. Radebaugh.
The row occurred near the corner of
Fourth and Williams streets. Bodine
accused Rsdebaugh of being too friendly
with his wife. Radebaugh denied the
charge and a lively set to was in order.
For while it seemed that Bodine was
getting the better of his antagonist, and
was drawing a dirk from his boot when
Radebaugh brandished a six shooter in
his face and dared him to move another
inch at the cost of his life. Radebaugh,
like the ordinary man on top, who has a
poor case but circumstances in his favor,
commenced arguing the case when some
one yelled, The policemen are coming"
The comhatants fed, with the policemen
in close pursuit, and made good their es-
cape among the dives on Fifth avenue.

MEETING OF CITY TEACHERS.

The regular monthly meeting of the city
teachers was held yesterday forenoon in
the high school room. These meetings
have been held regularly on the third sat
urday of each school month during the en-
tire school year, and the work
has been discussed and explained SO that
all the teachers have worked in harmony
and with the same end in view. Superin-
tendent Chidester has by means of these
meetings been able to handle his work so
satisfactorily, that although no less than
nine new schools have been organized and
opened since the beginning OF the year,
there has not been a jar or collision of any
kind. So much for good management. The
subject under special discussion yesterday
was school government. a most able paper
was read by Professor Phillips at the
openign.
As Mr.. Phillips has been requested
by the teachers to have it printed, we
shall not attempt review of 1t at this
time. Miss Dickinson, Prof. Shull, Miss
Helm, Mr. South, Mr.. Barackman, Mr..
McMichael, Miss Daugherty, Mr. Knight
and several others took part in the discus
sion. The importance of government as
factor of education was clearly set forth.
The immediate object of the schools is to
imparJ knowledge; the ultimate object to
develop manhood and womanhOod. To
secure either of these ends order must
first be secured Obedience must be
taught and learned-obedience to the
Divine will and all properly constituted
authority. "Order is Heavens first law"
but 1T is scarcely more essential to the
harmony of Heaven than to the happiness
and success of the school room, says DIR.
David Page. As a close to the meeting
Superintendent Chidester reviewed rap
idly the points and suggestions
that had been made, pointing out the pc
culiar merits and proper application Of
each. He then gave a short time to the
discussion of school disorders, which he
treated under three heads: First, the
causes, of which he gave nine; second,
the symptoms by which each may be recog
nized in its incipient stage and checked;
and, third the remedies which, if wisely
applied and administered, will in most
cases effect cure This part of the exer
cises received the closest attention and was
most heartily appreciated by the teachers,
not only on account of the novel way in
which it was presented, but also on &C
count of its very philosophical and practi-
cal character. Under the direction of
Prof Chidester these meetings have proved
very instructive to teachers and have
grown both in interest and usefulness.
Younger teachers especially have been
greatly benefited. Citizens are welcome
to attend. The next and last meeting will
be held in four weeks.

RETURNS FROM POLICE JUDGE.

Judge Dixon stated yesterday collections
for this month so far, amounted to be-
tween 81, 800 and 81 900. He believed he
would be able to turn over to the county
treasury So, 900 this month.
As is known the entire amount turned
in by the police for the last month was
only $S9490, and the preceding month
$121S The records seem to show that
most of the money turned in on any month
came from the rich vags, and how there
could be such wide difference in the
totals for the months when vags in NUM-
Der vary seemingly but little, is a question
that has presented itself to many who
have given the cold facts some considera-
ton

THEIR FIRST CAR.
THE BURTON CAR WORKS TURNED
OUT THEIR FIRST CAR
YESTERDAY.
A Wichita Production Which is
RevOlutionizing the Live Stock
Transportation PrOblem---A
Perfect Car.

W. S. Rogers the Douglas avenue pho
tographer, was yesterday telephoned by
Mr. j. NJ. Burton that their first stock car
was completed and to come and photo
graph it. Of course Mr.. Rogers lost no
time in doing so. 1t is beauty, and will
be to live stock what the Pullman car is to
the human family. Mr.. Burton is a
brother of Geo. d. Burton, the inventor,
and has come to Wichita to make it his
future home Mr. R. c. Wider, their sup
erintendent, went to St. Louis last even
ing to finish buying material for five cars
which they have contracted to deliver in
Chicago by the 18th of next month. Every
intelligent citizen of Wichita should visit
the car works so that when they are asked
a question concerning them they could
answer it intelligently. Mr.. Burton is a
very genial gentleman and took great
pleasure in showing us through the entire
buildings, and truly we must say that see
ing is believing, and for one to go through
this vast number of buildings and exam
Inc the stock car, see it as it is, and that
tbs now that cars are ready for service,
and shortly the packing house will be com
pleted, and then we can proudly say that
we have every advantage that any other
metropolitan city has, and, i'll fact, more,
for where is the country tiIat produces
more cattle than Southwestern Kansas,
Panhandle, Tex. and the Neu
trail Strip. 1t all comes
TO Wichita. The great cattle
dealers of the diffeaent varieties will ship
to Wichita and unload IT'S here that
they will sell their cattle and those of
them who are raising thoroughbred cattle
will join our farmers in shipping their fine
beeves to points through the east and they
will from now hence be shipped i'll Burton
stock cars in which they can water, feed,
and in fact supply them with every want
of nature without ever stopping the train.
Furthermore they have the air treat and
are so arranged that if necessary can be
attached to passenger train and run over
the road with perfect safety.
The Burton stock car is 36 feet in length
and will hold IS head of very large cattle.
Nine of their cars go to Peabody Monday
and It's only few months until they will
be in general use.

HOME TALENT ENDORSED.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Dear Sir-Allow me through your val
liable paper to state that after reading the
report of the Hon. Rudolph Herring on
plan for sewering the city of Wichita it
brought forcibly to my memory what
transplred four years ago. At that time |
endeavored to organize a stock company
to sewer Wichita and called upon H. i.
jackson, now chief engineer of the Kansas
Midland railroad, for data plans and speci-
fications Mr. Jackson furnished me a
profile and gave me identically the same
plan and mode of proceeding now given
by one of the most eminent engineers in
the United States This profile and plan
| carried to some of our capitalists. They
seemed to lack confidence in the plan and
therefore the matter fell through l feel
that Mr. Herring's report is a fitting en-
dorsement of home engineer, Mr. H. l..
Jackson. His report of the successful op-
Grafton of the Topeka avenue sewer is also
a fitting endorsement of the city engineer,
Mr. O. Mulvey, who claimed in the face of
all opposition that this sewer would be a
success while / was experimenting its
construction for the Wichita Construction
company of this city.
Yours very truly,
J. w HARTZELL.
