The future ideal woman will be woman

match for an ideal man is woman, not a
medicine chest.
Miss Mabel Jenness, while recognizing
the benefits from light and heavy gymnas-
tics, says: LAS it is not practicable to go
through life suspended from a bar or bur

that the system of exercises is best which
lifts one out of ones self, removes the linn
itations which fetter the physical and
mental faculties lifting the intelligence
above the control OF material conditions
into the complete sovereignty of mind
over matter, not by the modification of
the body as ascetics teach, but BY
the development of all the powers until
every emotion of the soul, every sugges-
ton of the reason find harmonious express
sion through the educated and disciplined
faculties of the material form. 1t is the
steady practice at home that is beneficial
So many ladies say they haven't time for

CorNTy COMMIssIONERS

Yesterday morning the three county
commissioners returned from Topeka,
where they went TO advocate some i'm
portant legislatian. One thing, which in
such large county as Sedgwick, is par
ticuIarly inadequate for the services rem
dered, is the salary allowed county CON-
missioners. which is now only 800 per
annum. There is bill pending to make
it IS per day for esch days actual service
during the year. Another bit OF
legislation advocated was the changing
of the years in which county clerks are to
be elected, and providing for their election
in the same years that abe governor is, or
ION years." instead of ''off years." as at
present This will necessitate making
those at present in Office hold over one
year, so as to let the next election for
county clerk come in 1890 instead Of 1889,
or in even and not odd numbered years.
The commissi oners also favor increasing
the maximum amount which such a
county as Sedgwick is permitted to ex-
pend for bridges, which is now $4,000 per
aQpum.

RISE IN THE RIVER.

For the first time in several months the
erstwhile blooming Arkansas river has
not been any too wet, but yesterday she
began to show signs of good rise and
drove out the force of the city's teams that
were hauling sand from the river bed for
raising the grade of Wichita street from
Central TO Pine. The rise is evidently
from melting snow, which fell in the foot
hills or on the high plains of eastern Colo
RADIO during the early part of the month.
1t is rather early for such rise, but it is
not, of course, from the snowfall in the
mountains. which is said to be much
heavier this winter than for several win
tiers and gives promise of making larger
volume of water in the Arkansas during
the coming summer than there has been
for some years.

HIS MISFORTUNE.

Judge Edward P. Kirby, of Jackson
vile, Illinois, has been in the city during
the present week and left last evening for
his home. The judge is man who has
made a close study of many of the lead
ing cities of the west and watched their
ups and downs Fourteen years ago, or in
the great grasshopper year, he was here
and had to take a piece of land upon
which be had loaned some money. A few
years later he sold it for the value of his
loan-and now learns that it has
since sold for about 1900, or
more than one hundred times Is much as
he had in it. The judge thinks that there
are great prospects in store for Wichita.
and that in the very near future. He was
absolutely astouished TO find such a
thrifty and substantial city after all OF the
slanderous stories he had heard before
coming west. In speaking Of his former
possessions in this city the judge quoted
Tennyson's well known lines:
''of all the sad words OF tongue or pen.
The sadGest are these; IL might have been. -

Gently fitted up on the first and second
floors of the large stone building at the

building is being fitted up and will next

number of visitors who throng the prem
ises at all hours of the day and every day
in the week, it has been deemed advisable

NEW CITY OFFICES.
Removal Yesterday to the Second Floor OF the
Getto BOX

The EAGLE announced in the report OF
the council proceedings in Tuesdays issue
that the committee appointed to secure
new quarters for the city Offices had re-
ported in favor of the west portion of the
second floor of the Getto block, which they
had secured for SIS per month. Their re-
port was adopted and yesterday the city
offices were removed to the new quarters,
which are considered by the officers them
selves as better adapted to their wants
than were the quarters occupied last.
They are centrally located at the corner Of
Main and Second.
The main hall, or council chamber, is an
airy, well lighted room fifty by twenty-five
feet wide. 1t is entered from the rear end
of the hallway through double doors and is
longest north and south. In the south end
will be His Honor's, the clerks and the
city attorneys desks, and in front of these
VIII be the reporters tables, On either
side of the chamber will be the desks of
the several members. Separating this por-
ton from the rest will be railing,
outside of which spectators will
be seated. In the extreme north end Of
the room is the clerks business Office,
where the daily routine business will be
transacted, the same being enclosed with
In railing. To the left of this depart
ment is door leading into the clerks pri-
vate Office, where are kept all of the city's
official documents. The engineers Office
is remote enough from the others to afford
ample quiet, being on the third floor and
directly over the council chamber. All of
the fixtures, carpets, ETC., were in position
last evening, and they are all ready for
business this morning. The rooms are
heated by steam and lighted by gas.

the Ellsler company, the Theodore" peo-
pie and Manager Crawford, which was
yesterday forenoon settled by giving these
three performances to the Theodore"
company, whose two car loads of elaborate
scenery arrived yesterday morning and
made quite street display as it was being
hauled to the opera house. All day yester-
