The achievement of the Lick tel cscoI e
in bringing the moon within sixty miles
of the earth, is justly regarded as one of
the most important events of the age.
While the actual "trip to the moon" is
unreal ed except with the a'd Of some
such highly wrought imagination as Jules
Verne s, good many of the pleasures of
the trip can be EMO ed in a peep through
this famous telescope. Famous as it is,
lis fame is to be rivaled. The university
of southern California Is negotiating for a
telescope with 42-inch lenses TO be erected
OH one of the mountain peaks near Los
An .eles. This will be six inches larger
than the Ii k telescope, and ought to re-
duce still further the apparent distance of
the moon. BY the use OF the last named
instrument it has been d scovered that
the man in the moon use canals The

VISITING OFFICIALS.

The directory of the Board of Trade to-
gether with probably fifty or more other
business men went up to the Dold packing
plant yesterday afternoon. They took in
all of the processes, including the sling

hogs per minute, their sticking, scalding,
cleaning, etc, unit! each carcass was land
ed hundreds of feet away from where
stuck, clean, nice meat; the process Of con-
yerting the blood into solid, the offal
into an odorless compost, the hair dried
ready for market, the sausage machines
the great tanks for frying out the lard and
the immense watts already full, the morter
uickling watts and cooking watts, and a
dozen other things too numerous to men
ton, including fine luncheon which was
served at the office building and which
everybody enjoyed. What seemed to sur
prise the visiting gentlemen most was the
great number ofimmense machines and the
three great engines of $50 horse power
each besides two smaller ones, and the
monster amonia compressor, taking three
hundred horse power alone to drive. Mr..
George Dold, and also Architect Thomas,
who designed and superintendent it all,
dropped everything, to explain ali. Three

NO SWAY BACK FIGHT FOR MF.

Some dear one, who signs herself "Soci
ETY. Young Lady," but whom we suspect
is as old as the hills, and whose hustle
won't hang right. has the temerity to call
us coward but not courage enough to
say so over her own name. We publish
the gentle missve in the sincere hope that
it will render our fair correspondent and
all the sway-back crowd shouting happy
AS for her "noll" story or her challenge
to fight, she is assured that if she is to
come to us sans corsets and minus a hustle
she will have to show a good pair OF
shanks if she ever overtakes US. We Will
never stop to take second peep before
hunting another well, and deep one,
from which we won't look up as long as
she is within thousand miles.

Colonel Murdock-I desire TO say to the
editor of the EAGLE and the lady who
wrote the article in Friday mornings
issue that we, the women of Wichita, who
are in sympathy with Annie Jenness
Miller or rather with the style she advo-
Gates do not care for the siurs you may
put upon the lady by calling her sway
back, or on the women who adopt her
style. We adopt it because We think Is
essential for health, that every woman
should do without the corset and hustle.
And let me say the intelligent and sensI-
Die women of Wichita do not care what a
lot of dude men may say about US or our
personal appearance. Every sensible man
Will admire the women who has the good
judgement to look out for health, as the
poet says, Health is wealth and beauty
aud if there is anything man admIres 1t
is Il woman in the prime OF health ana
beauty Did the editor ever see an OIL
painting by any OF the old masters IN
which beauty and grace is supdosst to
abound; did be ever see one that would be
improved by corset and hustle
AID does he think the statue
of Venus. the Goddess Of beauty,
would be improved by wearing a
corset or hustle | think not. In conclu-
sion | will say am not surprised at what
the editor has said, as it takes brave
man or woman TO stand up for what their
Judgment appears to be right. And for
the editor, well | don't think he has the
courage as was shown by that gentleman
during the late war | will not give my
name as do not wish to have the editor
make use of any of his slurring remarks
about me as he did Mrs Miller. But if he
wants to fight it out will be ready with
my seconds any time, and hope | will not
find Marsh Murdoch at the bottom of the
well.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMT.
Charley Warner Takes Morphine With suicidal
intent.

Yesterday afternoon Charley Warner at
tempted to commit suicide over the Bruins
wick billiard hall by taking dose of NOR
phine He was discovered, however, In
time to save his life.
Warner has been around the city for
about six months, sometimes at work, but
spending the greater part of his time
doing nothing 1t will be remembered
that mention was few days ago made of
a woman going up into building on
North Main and by the assistance of
Officer Burrows recovering her clothes
which she said had been stolen from her
by the man in the room. This was War
ter and the woman his wife, at present an
inmate of Madam Halls place on South
Fourth avenue. She is known in police
circles as Clara Foster and came to Wich-
ita about four months ago. entering first
a house on North Wichita and from there
going to her present place. Warner has
for sometime been endeavoring to per-
suade his wife to abandon the life
she is living and stay with him: but she re
fuses, claiming that it was he WHO brought
her to her present fallen conditi n.
Failing to persuade her to return to him
he became very gloomy and depressed
Yesterday about noon he spoke to Mrs
Clover, his landlady, about his troubles
and said that they were more than he could
bear. He then went up to his room on the
third floor of the Inness & Ross building,
and over the Brunswick billiard hall. AT
half past 8 he came to the door and called
her, saying that he was very sick, that he
had taken morphine. and told her TO tell
his wife what he had done after he was
dead.
Mrs. Clover Immediately dispatched a
messenger boy for his wife and she with
girl named Clyde Burke were driven rap
idly to the block and hurried up to the
room. Warner was lying in bed uncon-
scious and his extremities were cold. His
wife had physicians called and after re-
naming with him few minutes left. The
doctors labored with him and by 6 O'Clock
he was considered out of danger.

DRONE KICkERS.
To the Editor of the EAGLE

10 the EollOf u LIE 1AA0L~
1t seems to be Impossible for some other
wise good and respectable citizens to re-
train from extremely unwarranted and
unjust criticism of the efforts made by
others to secure advantages for Wichita
which even they allow are necessary to its
welfare
Failing to even give credit for good in
tention they sneer, and carp and cavll at
all, and every attempt made to benefit the
community by those who have the clty's
interests at heart, and who not only sacrl-
fee their time but their money also IN dis
playing a public spirit which Is well
worthy of emulation.
Those cynical individuals are usually
conspicuous by their absence at times, and
during meetings when their support is ex-
pected and eminently necessary. Their
righteous % indignation is aroused
the moment subscription list
is presented for their signature
and they are not by any means slow to
characterize the promoters thereof as SO
many highway robbers and schemers for
personal benefit
1t matters not what proposition may be
advanced for the immediate or prospective
benefit of the city at large they never Will
promologate it; schemes and plans, how
ever reasonable and devoid of material ex-
pense meets no approval from these chronic
obstructionists
An excuse might be discovered for these
people were they inceptors of any ideas or
plans for the purpose already indicated,
but they are themselves VIGOROUSLY limo
cent of either idea or action tending to
wards the general good of themselves or
the city
They are pure and unadulterated drones
devoid of mental capacity, education or
executive ability.
Because a few previous schemes have
not proven entirely successful, it does not
follow that others formulated under a
natural experience, and additional knowl-
edge should be condemned untried. Rome
was not built in a day, and doubtless
many were the failures and bitter dlsap-
ponun cuts before the final success was
achieved.
Partial failure in the past should only
beget more persistent and energetic effort
in the future to compensate for unlnten-
tional mistakes, committed by those who
through no fault of their own were not
born graduates of practical economy.
Encourag ment and not obstruction should
be the adopted policy of those who are not
naturally constituted to take the wheel
themselves.
Let there be less fault finding and more
unified, concerted and harmonious action
when without any possible bout Wichita
will progress more rapidly and retain the
place she has already taken as the first
city in the state. NINDEX.
