PASSIONIST MISSION.

In the Roman Catholic Pro-Cathedral,
Fourth avenue and Second street, a mis-
sion opens this morning to continue for
one week. The exercises will be conducted
by two Passionist Fathers from the east,
Rev. Father Xavier and Rev. Father
Michael. Both the reverned gentlemen
are reported amongst the most eloquent of
their order. The Passionist order was
founded by st. Paul of the Cross, and the
object of its establishment, by conducting
missions and retreats, is to revive in the
hearts of the Christians faithful passions
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Hence the name Passionist. They are
clothed in black robes and wear sandals as
the only foot covering Not only are the
Catholic people of Wichita expected to at
tend the exercises of the mission, but a
cordial invitation is extended to all re-
gardless of church utilization. The follow
ing is the order OF exercises for the week:
First mass at 5 a. m; second mass at
o'clock, followed by sermon on Christian
duty Evening service at 7:30. The sub
iect for this evenings discourse will be
The Object of Life" However good and
virtuous our people may be-and we be-
lieve they compare favorbly in this respect
with any other-yet they can not learn
the duties of Christian and perform the
same too well. Therefore we bespeak for
these reverned gentlemen full and devout
audiences.

THE SCOUNDRELS CAUGHT.

Mr.. William P. Rodgers the general
agent for Missouri and Kansas of the
Equitable Life Insurance company of
Iowa, who was shot through the face and
left for dead near the door of his own
home in Kansas City, on the evening of
October 4th, is visiting the families of the
proprietors of the EAGLE who are old
friends Mr.. Rodgers is rapidly recover
ing but finds great difficulty in eating.
Yesterdays Kansas City Times contains a
dispatch which says that Mrs. Nellie Null
arrested in Omaha, Neb, has made a con-
fession to being confederate of gang OF
burglars and that the men who attempted
Rodgers life belonged to the gang. These
men had also been arrested and there
names are Edward Darlington and w. G.
ShatZman. According to this woman
story as given by the Times she was living
In Kansas City on the night of October 4th,
as the wife of one of the men who did the
shooting, when her man rushed breath
lessly into their room and excitedly told
her that unless she would promise to
swear, in case of his arrest, that he had
spent the entire evening with her he would
empty the loaded chambers of his revolver
in her body. He displayed his pistol and
the woman saw that two chambers had al
ready been discharged. Darlington is sup
posed to be the one of the footpads who
fired the two shots at Rodgers, of which
only one took effect. AS these scOurdrels
are held for number of offenses at Omaha
they may never reach a trial at Kansas
City for their attempted murder of

A TALK WITH THE STAR HAM MAN
The Packing and Live Stock Interests OF Wich-
ita and the Coming Fight Between the
Great Packing Points.

Mr.. John Whitaker arrived in the city
| yesterday from his home in st. Louis He
| bad not been up for some weeks and he is
pleased with the way the packing and live
stock interests of Wichita are coming to
the front. The energy OF the local man.
agements and the rapidly developing
markets are most encouraging. Both
Omaha and Kansas City are uneasy over
the fact that Wichita is not only more
accessible to the great cattle ranges and
in the midst of wonderfully growing hog
| district but that her cured product is
nearer the great consuming districts of the
south. Kansas City is demanding that
her packing houses be maintained with a
lower rate for their southern out
put, and Omaha wants the rate given
Kansas City whatever that may happen
to be. In the mean time Wichita Is pay
ing for the hog and for the steer the Kan
sas City and Omaha figure, thereby shut
ting off a big per cent of the live stock re-
ceipts of those cities The logic of the
situation is that Wichita must soon reap
the advantages pertaining to her location.
Railway determinations will not be main
tanned against Wichita with such tonnage
as she Is piling up, and the fight in the
near future will be warm as between
Kansas City, Wichita, Omaha and Sioux
City. 1t is as inevitable as that corn and
grass grows, that Wichita will soon be rec
ognized as one of the great live stock and
packing centers of the country with the
corresponding advantages in freight rates
that great tonnage commands.
Mr.. Whitaker brings the welcome in
telligence that the delayed machinery
necessary to the slaughter of cattle
on large scale will soon
all be finished and in place when he will
be taking stronger hand with the local
buyers and shippers. Mr.. Whitaker
thinks that the number of cattle on this
market will be increased in marked man
ner as soon as its advantages become fully
appreciated by southwest growers and
Texas shippers generally. Mr.. Whitaker
expresses himself as greatly pleased over
the present situation and future outlook,
and that he does not doubt in the least
that Wichita's plants and markets will be
cutting no inconsiderable figure in the
principal animal food markets. of the
world at no very distant day.
In short, Wichita is all right, her pack
ing interests and her live stock interests
are all right, and all her other important
interests have an encouraging outlook,
not to say anything of some new ones that
will waken up the whole state by their
announcement III the near future.

CITY BUILDING.

CITY BUILDING.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The council, some little time ago by
resolution, decided that the city had
reached point 10 its history when its
needs demanded the erection OF a city
building After much deliberation, con-
sideration and reconsideration it has been
| finally determined to locate the building
upon the southeast corner OF Main and
Williams streets. When the court house
was located three squares north of Doug
las avenue and the people were asked to
vote bonds to build the same. it was a
general understanding that if the south
part of the city would assist in carrying
these bonds that when the time come to
build build city building it should be
| located south of Douglas avenue, and that
the north end would return the favor by
voting for the bonds. So far as the site is
concerned the pledge has been kept, and
now the people VIII De called upon at the
next general election, on November 5, to
vote 500. 900 in bonds, with which TO pay
for the site and erect the building.
These bonds will bear five per cent in
terest and run twenty years straight, and
no part of them will nave TO be paid ex-
cept the interest until the expiration Of
ten years, when a small tax will be levied
which to pay off the bonds at the end Of
the twenty years. Every business man
who understands the forces that are at
work to build up th,s city knows that be-
fore we even begin TO create a sinking fund
that the population Of this city Will be
three times as great as IL now II, and the
taxab wealth will be five times As great.
Il is plain to be seen that the city Is not
assuming any great burden or contracting
an unjudicious debt. One hundred thous-
and dollars of foreign money will come
into the city to be paid out chiefly TO our
mechanics and laboring men. and future
generation will pay the debt. Never in
the history of this city could such build
ing be built so cbeaply as the coming win
ter, and 1t will be "a long time before labor
and material will be so cheap again.
While our people have SO generously
and freely put their hands IL their
pockets and By private means
innaugurated, and brought TO successful
completion, so many enterprises that have
built up our city and been OF benefit to
every individual, IL is highly proper at this
time, when private effort may have be-
come weary, that public resources should
come forward and assume its share IN the
grand work | believe that every eiector
in the city desires the growth and pros
perity Of Wichita and viii therefore vote
FOR the bonds No man can afford as q
matter Of personal interest 70 vote against
them n NoEIE-clDkA-
