WHY TREY WERE THERE.

To the Editor of the Daily Eagle
Tuesday evening the women of the

of their brothers in Garfield post, to attend
a jollifieation known in G. A r. circles as
a 'camp fire" The place of rendezvous
was the court house. Theevening of meet
ing, the evening of election day. Joking
Husband" was solemnly in earnest, but
slightly premature: the women were there.

ion did not see them smoking and drink

tinge / have not written this as an apol-
ogy for women. wherever found. l VEN
ture the assertion that even were thew
waiting for election returns, it would have
shown laudable interest in the affairs of
our city and schools both of which derive
their revenues of support from women as
well as men. If they chose TO loiter round
the court house or elsewhere for any pur-
pose whatever they have the same right
that Joking Husband" has. Did he ever
see them around the court house while
paying taxes? | fear Joking Husband
was in no mood for Joking" being dis
appointed candidate. His conscience told
him the women had not and would never
vote for him. 1t was a case of sour

THE TRAN RAIL- ORDINANCE VERSION.

The Wichita Street Railway company is
at work Oh South Fourth avenue extern
sion which is booked from Douglas avenue
to Lincoln street distance of mile.
This,and the Topeka avenue extension is
being built in accordance, it is claimed,
with the tram rail ordinance over which
there was so much discussion in the coun-
Gil, the greater part of the trouble origina-
ting with the term tram rail- Some
wanted to call it ''Johnstown rail- and
others wanted it more carefully defined as
to whyt constituted tram rail"
In referring TO the contest councilman
said, Il have already heard kicks about
this version OF tram raiP made blythe old
street car company, From what l can see
and am told | guess their version means a
wooden stringer with an iron strip on top
of it. This iron strip is thicker than we
usually see in the tram roads in coal
banks. but, of course, the iron amt strong
enough to support the street car from one
cross tie to another, as it would not be
given the assistance of q wooden strin ger
for a starter / don't know whether
this complies with the ordinance or not
but some think not. and we may be called
upon to decide. If [ remember rightly,
that all-round tram rail ordinance is put
up rather loosely and can have very
broad version
Others were heard discussing the CUES
ton and some seemed 10 think anything
preferable to the ''none-other-t hall-the- IT.
