A WOMAN AND HER LAST WORD.
70 the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
Being duly appreciative ! desire 10 re-
turn my sincere thanks to the ladies and
gentlemen who at the polls last Tuesday
SO nobly supported the cause OF equal
rights and citizenship.
A comparative stranger in Wichita
can not but feel highly complimented at
the large vote received. No one need feel
discouraged at the result Of the election.
Considering the means used 20 oppose the
movement, the success was truly wonder
full
The good cause grows; public sentiment
is undergoing an evolution that is carry
ing on its tidal wave the most enlightened
and intellectual Of our progressive people.
Temporary defeat is nothing. Every re-
form in its incipiency meets with discour-
agements. The civilization of today Is
only the result Of successive and success
full reforms OF the past. And christian
civilization was born only in the death
agonies OF tortured Saviour whose
twelve apostles have revolutionized the
world. Il is fact Of history that all pro
gressive movements have at first been
opposed by majorities. These majorlties
are sometimes aggressive but more often
indifferent. But they finally yield grace
fully and become the strOu gest CON-
poneDts OF their party. Hence we look
forward TO the time when A L. T. viii
come down from the isolated maintain
of man 5 supremacy. study the Bible 30
new ligh, and believe that Christ became
a curse for woman as well as men and re-
deemed NC from the curse OF the Law.
Then our highly esteemed friend Nr H.

feelings by reminding Us Of our

instrument. The hose thus cut was
lying in the alley in the
rear of the North Main building
and the rascal who set the building on fire
may have intended to have still further

buildings were viewed yesterday with no
little interest by hundreds of persons
Many people last night feared a repetition
of the preceding nights experience and
Fire Marshal Walden warned merchants
and others to be on the lookout.

men, states that about ten minutes before
the fire broke out in the East Douglas
avenue meat market he was standing in

to him and thinks he would not recognize

ruth side of Douglas avenue.

south side of Douglas avenue.
between Fifth and Lawrence avenue,
have sewer connection with the Topeka
avenue sewer, including nine hotels. The
entire length of the Topeka avenue sewer
and its connections is 25,066 feet and
during the last years has cost the city less
Is cents day to keep it clean. There is
621 $40 feet of Finch pipe sewer on the
south side of Douglass avenue, from
Water street west to the Arkansas river.
1t was put in for storm water drain, and
has very few house connections. There IS
about 1900 feet Of pipe sewer owned and
and controlled by private parties, begin
ming at point $50 feet west of southwest
corner of Main and First streets, thence
running north to Second street, thence west
to the Arkansas river; also another private
running south to Second street, thence
west to the Arkansas river. During the
last two years the city has used several
thousand feet of double strength sewer
pipe in drains and culverts, very little
lum er has been used in culverts, pipe be-
ing considered the cheapest and the best
and easiest kept clean, having no braces or
posts to interfere with the flow of water
and it never rots out. In conclusion l
would say the sewerage and drainage or
this city is very good, but the close of the
present year will witness the completion OF
our grand system of sewerage begun last
October. When thatis completed Wlch-
tia will be one of the best severed and best
drained cities west of the Mississippi.
There has just been completed storm
drain on the west side of Second street
from Main street west to the Arkansas
The first PA feet is 1S-inch double strength
sewer pipe; the balance, 1,S22 feet, is 20
inch double strength sewer pipe. 1t is in
tended to drain the territory west OF Mar
ket street and north of Second street. On
this line there are four manholes and one
storm water inlet.
Respectfully submitted.
