to no other, even if she fails,

Wichita stands still and fails to avail her
self of the things which link upon still
other interests vastly more important. She
holds the key to the situation, but the key
must be turned, not listlessly held. The
door will not open itself or if it does so at
a rate SO slowly as to lose largely the full
force and realization, of the value OF the

ing good thing at once. in a lump, or by
dribbles and installments, with the chances
and possibility of failure and anxiety over
postponed and overdue payments. In

to respond in tie spirit which has marked
her wonderful career in the past, and
which renders her today conspicuous

4 NEW FIND.
\ Fine Cement Discovered by the Wichita Min
ing Company.


+. n. Terrell, of the Wichita Stone and
Mining company, aided by Deputy United
States Surveyor Richard Timmons, has
been experimenting with the blue stone
found at the company's quarries twenty
two miles northeast of Wichita, with a
view Of making a cement. They have pro-
duced fair quality of cement and Mr..
Timmons is very sanguine that with
proper machinery a quality can be made
second TO none.
Mr. Terrell wishes us to say that the
Wichita Stone and Mining company was
organized for the purpose OF developing
stone, coal and fire clay beds, and is purely
a Wichita enterprise. Capital stock, &c.,
600; paid up, 9600. They have now in
operation the finest quarry in Kansas,
which viii be worth 100000 as building
stone quarry land more if the cement
proves first class as soon as equipped with
proper machinery and tools for working.
For the purpose OF getting such machin-
cry the company is prepared to offer special
inducements to capitalists. Wichita an
nually ships thousands of dollars abroad
for stone, that is inferior to this fine blue
stone Money will be made by the com
pany and money saved by our builders by
the aid of a few tools to work with

4 NEW ROOF AND A NEW POWER.

Our Washington dispatches the other
day made mention Of the fact that pat
ent had been issued to c. N. Garrison, of
Wichita, for water wheel to be applied
in river and other swift currents. Iester-
day Mr. Garrison brought up and eXhib-
tied the drawings and letters patent of this
new invention of his. He says he got up
the wheel and its connections, etc, with
reference to utilization in the Niagara
river. But Mr.. Garrison showed us some
thing else for which letters patent are
pending. It is a machine and its product
for roofing. The machine, in short fills
the interstices of gauze wire with a
preparation which turns water completely.
The prepared wire or roofing is rolled up
in rolls by the machine and is ready for
the market. 1t is very pliable and can be
put on as roof for about $50 per square

Wichita is to Kansas. As evidence of the

ONE OF WICHITA'S PARKS.

To the Editor of the EAGLE.
There are those in this citv, and they
constitute the majority, wEo have not the
means TO travel and cannot spare the time
from work. The poor man enjoys the
beauties of rural scenes as much as the
rich man does; his eyes delight IL the sight
of flowers; his ear drinks in the songs OF
BIRDS his soul is as susceptible to the rest
tul influences of the country life as that OF
his Weather neghbor. His manner may
not be so refined, his circumstances so
easy, yet his heart is as large and as warm,
and he, too, longs for peep at rural beau
ties, and the man who has satisfied his
Iongings has done as charitable an act as
the man who gives him bread when starv-
ing for food. Man does not live by bread
alone. 1t is Just as essential to feed the
mind as the body. The man who takes
the mechanic from the dust and toll OF the
workshop to spend the day IN the
green fields and under the trees,
or among the flowers. is
true philanthropist, that man has done a
noble act, he has made life brighter for his
toiiing brother and sends him back to his
home and work a happier and better man,
and in this connection I cannot refrain
from mentioning one, our esteemed citizen
Mr.. J. Fisher, of this city, who has done so
much in this direction in his beautiful
Valley Center park. AS l sat under the
trees and listened to the joyous shouts of
school girls and boys, and watched the
beam of JOY from older faces, | felt thank
full for the good spirit that gave us such a
delightful park. L was informed the park
contains forty acres of woodland, good
shade, rustic seats, fifteen swings, good
rowing, good fishing, good water. The
park is nine miles from the city on the
motor line and free to the public. Long
live Fisher. ~

Not Ashamed.

Justice Mclean, of Ohio, heard q
minister preach. He had been skep-
tic, and this minister spoke to him in
such way as to convince him of the
truth and necessity of the Christian
religion. He was led to see how
Christ had died for him, and was be-
gotten again. He went home. He
had hardly gotten there before he said,
"We are going to have family prayer;
let us 60 into the drawing-room and
pray together"
"But," said his wife, "there are four
lawyers in there; they have come to
attend court. Let US 60 into the
kitchen to have prayers" Judge Nc
Lean replied, "It,s the first time I
ever invited the Lord to my house,
and I don't propose to invite Him to
the kitchen, by any MEANS" He
went into those lawyers and said,
my friends, I have found out that
Jesus died on the cross for me; I have
given myself to him, and now I pro-
pose to invite Him to my house. You
may do as you please-go or stay.
But T am now to make my first prayer
in my own house." They said they
would very much like to stay, and did
stay. From that day Judge Mclean
lived a consistent Christian life.

A Bible Puzzle.

This puzzle has often been publish
ed, but perhaps some of our young
folks have not seen it. It would be In
teresting and good practice for any one,
young or old, to find the answer.
How many will?
A young student was asked: "How
many boys are there in your class"'
He replied: "If you multiply the
number of Jacobs sons by the number
of times the Israelites compassed Jeri
co, and add to the product the number
of measures of barley which Boaz
gave Ruth, divide this by the number
of Haman's sons, subtract the number
of each kind of clean beasts that went
into the ark, multiply by the number
of men that went to seek Elijah after
he was taken to heaven, subtract from
this Joseph's age at the time he stood
before Pharaoh, add the number of
stones in David's bag when he killed
Goliath, subtract the number of fur
longs that Bethany was distant from
Jerusalem, divide by the number OF
anchors cast out when Paul was ship
wrecked, and subtract the number of
persons saved in the ark, the remain
der will be the answer"

Stay In the Sunlight.

Sleepless people, and there are many
in America, should court the sun.
The very worst soporific is laudanum,
and the very best sunshine. Therefore
it is very plain that poor sleepers
should pass as many hours as possible
in the sunshine and as few as possible
in the shade. Many women are mar
tyrs, and yet they do not know 1t.
They shut the sunshine out Of their
houses and their hearts, they wear
wells, they carry parasols, they do all
possible to keep off the subtlest and
yet most potent influence which is in

beauty and cheerfulness. Is it not
time to change this. and so get color
and roses in their pale cheeks, strength
in their weak backs and courage in
their timid souls? The women of
America are pale and delicate, they
may be blooming and strong, and the
sunshine will be a potent influence in

Our Church Extension Board is
doing good work for the Master. From
April 1, 1887, to March 81, 1888, help
was given to 295 churches and 23Iparson-
ages. The General Board aided so
churches and 6 parsonages. The Con-
ference Boards helped 545 churches and
17parsonages. The cash capital of all
the loan fund in the hands ofthe General
Board amounts to $42.29O. Grants were
made to 80 churuches and Is parsonages:
in donations, $31,5OO; loans, $1,000;
contingent, 81 300. Total, $49,6O0. The
Board received 22l applications for aid,
but could only give aid to SO. The
amount received from collections was
$22, ,s82-an increase of 81, l6O over last
year. Receipts on loan fund amount
ed to $5,63s. The more this special
part of our work is brought before our
people the more they will be disposed
to give for its extension. We trust all
our pastors will give it special atten-
ton in all our congregations, and that
the close of this year will bring up
larger additions to this fund.
