Tue politicians of both parties are
crying against trusts and monopo.
lies-they have been doing so for
quite while. The important ques.
ton is will they when in Congress
assembled do anything in an attempt
to defend the people from the suck.
ing tenticles of those devil-fish.
They have not heretofore. Even
the Democratic party which warred
so, professionally on tariff monopoly,
was induced by the head of the sugar
trust to raise the scale on sugar
which they had fixed in the Mills
Bill. The fact 10 that these trusts
and monopolies use money sufficient
through their lobby to defeat all
legislation which seeks TO protect
the public against their power.

The great prize fight between SUI
livan and Kilrain came off according
to program on Monday last, 1903
miles from New Orleans, in the
State of Mississippi. Seventy FIVE
rounds were fought, the result being
in favor of Sullivan who will be ad-
judged, we presume, wearer of the
belt. The following is description
of this famous champion belt:
THE DIAMOND BELT.
The heavyweight championship
trophy was presented by Richard X.
Fox, of New York. 1t is fifty inches
long and eight inches wide, and
weighs 200 ounces in solid silver and
gold. The work is laid out by solid
silver plates and flexible woven sill
yer chains, so that the belt can be
adjusted to the body and worn with
ease. The plates are. richly orna-
mented with solid gold figures, and
one Of these ornaments is 80 made
that the likeness of the winner can
be put in gold frame encicled by a
solid gold laurel wreath suspended
from the bill Of a full.winged eagle.
The centre of the belt represents a
prize ring. with two men facing each
other in fighting attitude. The whole
of this part is in solid gold. The
ring is encircled by eight large dia-
monds, and the top of it is orna-
mented with fox's head with
diamond eyes.

WHAT is llFEY



The Vital Question Discussed from Various
StandpOints.
One day, when the feathered songsters
In the woods were tired of singing, there
was long pause. All was quiet and
nature itself seemed lost in meditation.
Suddenly the philosophical bullfinch
pipcd, "What is lifey'' to which little
songster among the leaves replied, Life
is Il song"
mo, a battle in the dark" said the
ground mole. who just pokcd his head
out of the ground in the vicinity of the
tree among whose branches the little bird
was hopping around.
ITO my mind it is an unfolding" de-
clared the rosebud, which was just ready
to unfold it's beautiful leaves, to the great
delight of magnificent butterfly, which
d*d not hesitate to kiss the pretty flower,
with t!lese words: Life is full of idle
joy and pleasure"
Say, rather, short summer day."
hummed jealous one day fly buzzing
past.
II mean that life changes ever with
work and pleasure" mentioned the bee,
and it disappeared in the leaves of the
rosebud to gather honey.
II do not see that it is anything else
than idle worry" complained the little
ant, dragging blade of straw, which in
comparison to itself was unnaturally
long.
Eyes, you are right" little rabbit
nodded from the hazel bush; life, as
sure as live, is q hard nut to crack"
At this moment soft rain murmured,
Life consists of tears. all tears"
"Life is an ever changing conscious
ness" said the thunder cloud floating
toward the ocean. The ocean waves
broke against the shore and sighed. Life
is steady battle for freedom"
mo, you are mistaken, it is freedom, :"
jubilantly said the eagle, sailing through
the air with his powerful wings.
"Ah, it is poor earth," moaned the
weed, working its way out of moor and
stone.
The high cedars bowed to each other
to the earth saying: Life is striving
ever upwards" And ripple sounded
through the tops of the trees until the
pasture cried sorrowfully: Life is rather
given up to q higher power!'
Night had broken in and the solemn
domo prelate advised: "Let us rest, my
friends. AS there was no satisfactory an
swer given we will resume our debate to-
morrow"
For oil I care you may do that"
breathed the night. "But life is only q
dream"
The still night ruled over the city and
country and soon morning would draw
near. Tho student, who was sitting in
his out-of-the-way garnet, lost in medita-
ton. blew out his little lamp and MUIR
INJURED: "Life is only a school"
Footsteps were heard on the deserted
streets. A tired citizen was going
homo to rest, after spending the night
in going from pleasure to pleasure, in
spite of which he complained: Life is
an unsatisfied longing and steady disap-
pointment."
ut is riddle" stammered the new
born morning wind.
Suddenly glimmering light rose upon
the horizon. Higher and higher climbed
the magic light over the top of the woods
Tho red morning light greeted the earth
and like q mighty chord it sounded
through the universe: Life is only a
beginning.-From the German"

The points showing the largest increase

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
THE EAGLE AND THE MARKETS.

In the interest of the increasing demands
of business and the financial and CONNER
cial development of Wichita. as well as
from an almost universal demand OF BUSH
ness men, of farmers and stock dealers
throughout the entire southwest. the
EAGLE will in the future make its market
quotations more full and complete in every
particular, giving special attention to q
correct report of our home markets, and
particularly the stock and grain interests
This will be made much more prominent
feature of the paper. The quotations will
be obtained from thoroughly reliable
sources by an experienced and well quail
fed man, and will be given in the interest
of farmers and others. who are every day
becoming convinced that Wichita is by far
better market for them than Kansas
City or other commercial centers further
east. These reports. corrected and carefully
received daily, will be transferred from the
daily issues, SO that the farmers, as we'll as
others, may may be directly benefited,
and know each week the prices they will
receive in this market for their stock and
farm products. Thus the EAGLE, with its
immense circulation, both daily and
weekly, throughout southwestern Kansas,
Texas and Oklahoma, will become a cor
rect medium of commercial information
between the buyer and seller, and become
an important factor in building up our
home market. With the rapid growth
we may expect, in the near future, the To-
cation OF a full line of jobbing houses,
representing all lines Of trade, and with
the different wholesale branches Of bust
ness now represented, the market report
becomes an important link in the chain of
commercial progress
