A CROOK IN MAIN STREET.

TIC the Editor ot the Eagle.
TO the citizens and members of council
of Wichita, | wish to call your attention
to what | noticed when in your town last
winter 1t is as follows: North Main
street. when it gets TO Thirteenth street, it
makes an offset and runs a few blocks
north and then comes in line again. Now,
if there was a prompt action taken at the
present time, while there is scarcely any
buildings in the way, it might be put
straight through. l think ii it remains as
it is now it will always be regretted.
Yours respectfully,
JESSE kENwORTHY.

A BRIGHT WOMAN WITH A BRIGHT BOOK.

Mrs. Whitman, the wife of the author
of 'Twasinto's Seminoles' is in the city
for the purpose of canvassing for few
days in the interest of her husbands epic.
Mr.. Whitman is, we believe, the only col
ored man in America the author OF so pre-
tentious a poem as THE Rape of Florida"
and however bright ne may be as a man,
his wife is surely entitled to consideration
for the ladylike bearing and her genuine
culture and intelligence. Now if such
there be, who think there can be no future
for the colored race, even if you should not
desire the little book of which her husband
is the author talk to her OF her life and
experiences and then tell us what you
think. Mrs. Whitman S home and that of
her husband, is on farm in Pratt county.
She is the mother of four children and
ever since he graduated she has stood by
her poet husband, sustaining and encour-
aging him in his work as only a woman
can sustain and encourage the man beloved
Of her. But then bay her book, it's but a
little book but the price is little one.

A HORRIBLE DEED.
A .-uCner Kills Her Three Children
and Herself with StrYchnine.

and HerSeII WITH
Early Wednesday morning Mrs. Josephine
Marck living in a tenement in Allegheny
City, Penn, administered strychnine to hef
three children, Mary. Helena and Ellen, aged
seven, three and four years, and then swaI
lowed a large dose of the poison herself
In less than three hours Mary, Helena and
the mother were dead, and little Ellen was IN
the throeS of her fatal cOnVu sIons.
druggist living near said that NJ rs.
Marck had called early in the morning and
purchased an ounce of strychnlne TO XIII
rats Going home she went into the little
front room over the hallway and there pre-
pared the fatal dose The poison was poured
into the three pitchers Of milk and stirred
up. The milk was then brought to the
table, and the mother, it appears, took her
seat with the rest Around the table
were the father, Joseph MaTck, the
mother, the oldest girl, Mary, years of age,
Emma, 4 years of age and the baby, Ella, 26
months old. The mother gave cupful of
milk to each Of the children and some to her
husband Twice she took of the fatal dose
herself, and tried to prevail upon her hus-
band to drink of it. The latter, however,
did not care for milk and therefore declined,
although she urged hiTA to drink. Emma
the four-year-ol girl, drank some of the
death portion, but did not take as much as
the others.
Every evidence indicates that the deed was
the result Of calm deliberation. and was not
committed on the spur of the moment while
was to kill her entire family-every member
of it-and failed In one instance because her
husband would not drink the cup of milk in
which lurked his death. Mrs. Marck was
twenty-six years old and had been married
eight years
