ROYAL MILLS ENTERPRISE.

Business may come and business may
go, but business at the Royal Spice mills
goes on forever, spreading out into Texas,
Colorado, Arkansas and all over Okla
homa and the settlement generally. There
is not business man in Wichita who is
not proud Of the unvarying success of
Corner, Farnum & Co. Their baking
powder. their coffees, ETC., are not only
popular in every market reached by them,
but deservedly so. Being conscientious
business, bent on giving every customer
not only his moneys worth, but satisfac-
ton in every particular, every new foot
hold gained is maintained. The firm is
having special brand of cigar made for
their trade, of pure Havana stock, which
are named and BRAIDED 1.-The Royal Mills"
They are a splendid article as we have oc-
casion to know. They also carry little
pure Havana cigar, regular harmless

To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
The reason assigned for the seeming
haste to purchase ground for city build
ing, Is that it would be good policy to
secure suitable lots now because they can
be bought cheap. In my humble opinion
it is a mistake. Judging the future by
the past does any one doubt that when a
tidal wave of prosperity strikes us again
there would be the least difficulty in Sc
curing donations enough to purchase suit
able grounds, which would not involve the
city in one cent of costs While not a
kicker" hold that the taxpayers have
some rights which the council is bound to
respect.

IN THE DITCH.

Quite an accident happened a fine team
belongin to Mr.. George Morgan He had
taken drive and hitched near the corner
of Lawrence and Douglas, when the Saliva
ton Army came along, and although both
horses were tied with strong halters. they
were so badly scared at the racket both
broke loose and were soon on the run down
Lawrence. Within about half mile they
fell into sewer ditch nearly ten feet
deep. The only way to get them out called
for considerable work, and four or five fell
lows were set to work digging. 1t took
until 3 o'clock in the morning to get them
out One is so badly bruised and injured
it is thought it will not recover, while the
other is hurt considerably, but not SO bad
ly. The carriage was total wreck.
The city's responsibility seems to be the
next question considered. Some are of the
opinion that the city will be compelled to
replace damages, while others think ii
would be perfectly safe to bring some sort
of action against the Salvation Army.
The majority seem to think it would be
best and more correct to tackle the army,
claiming the city did not scare the horses,
nor was it possible TO have no ditch.

LED INTO THE GROUND.

A sharp peal of thunder was slight ex-
perience to the nervous citizens and the
lightning got squarely saddled on the
Riverside trolly wire. 1t went both ways
and met an arrester at the station and on
the cars, doing no harm Each lightning
arrester costs three cents and is good for
once using. This is thought rather
cheap invention on the part Of man to
run lightning into the ground
While the Riverside wire was bouncing
around the telephone wires were visited
slightly, but no damage, some earnest
screams, however, were heard coming
from the Central office.

Jim Richey, speaking confidentially,
says he don't think the proper grade has
been given in front Of his block on East
Douglas avenue for curb and guttering
He was given grade for his building and
1t does not compare to the cub and gutter
ing grade, the latter being several inches
higher, and the sidewalk when constructed
in conformity to the proposed curb and
gathering it will lean the wrong way. As
a result he seems TO think privately that
he may be compelled, in the interest of
self protection, TO serve an injunction on
the work when it reaches him.

To define tho different phases Of insanity
the General read number of definitions
from noted authority, and tho methods
adopted by them for ascortaining the con-
dition of the mind, Ideas are formed In tho

no living being can tell how these ideas arc
formed or what operation tho brain passes

sanity. For long time tho
test was the knowledge of the patient
concerning right and wrong, but that is no
longer any test at all. Instances were shown
where men confined in hospitals, who knew
as well the difference between right and
wrong, had plotted for months TO kill, either
the warden or doctor, and had succeeded.
They knew II was wrong, but did not have
the power to resist the temptation. Tho
actions of the insane are dependent on that
oyer which they have no control.

tired, and asked the court to adjourn until
this morning. Said he: ~ would like TO
talk about an hour longer" and the Judge

ARCHITECT MEYERS ARRIVES.
The Roaring Commissioners Become
Mild as Sucking Doves.

Niiu aS SUCKING DONCS.
Mr. e. c. Meyers architect Of the new
county hospital building, arrived in the city
yesterday.
For long time now, that is for three or
four weeks, the honorable board has kept
the wires between Omaha and Detroit
Mich, the home of Mr.. Meyers, hot. Tho
honorable board desired to censure MIR.
Meyers, not mildly, but severely.
Mr. Meyers arrived yesterday, and IN ad.
vance telegraphed the board to meet him ut
the Paxton hotel. In response, Messrs.
Mount, O'Keefro and Anderson tool,
their way to that hostelry at half-past 10
o'clock, and fiuding MIR. Meyers there, had
consultation with him, and 1T was decided te
visit the hospital in the afternoon.
AT o'clock Mr.. Meyers ana Commission.
ers Mount, OKeefe, Anderson and Corrgau
took carriages and drove to the incpient hos.
pital, and careful examination of the build.
ing was made.
Mr.. Meyers found considerable portion
of the work below the standard called for by
the specifications. Where brick arches had
been placed he found that the centers, or
supports, had been removed too previously,
and that they were consequently weakened.
In conversation with reporter he said that
enough had been done and lett undone Ia
throw the walls, whether Intentionally or
through ignorance he was not prepared to
say, but If it were the latter the ignorance
was inexcusable upon the part of the men
who claimed TO have sufficient
knowledge of building to undertake such
. contract An end wall in building No. q, he
found, would of necessity have to be re.
moved, and other portions of the work will
have to be done over again.
While at the building Mr.. Meyers took oc,
casion to give Superintendent Ross some in
structions, and talked to him so plainly that
he says he thinks there will be no misinter.
pretation of the specifications in the future.
Among other things, he told him that he
should not take orders from individual mem
berS OF the board of commissioners and that
if an order came from the board as an official
body, to obey IL, but at the same time sed
that it was In writing.
Mr.. Meyers told the board that it would
be necessary for him to visit the hospital au
least once u month while it is being com.
pleted and the board thought so too and ac
quiesced.
Under the orders made by Mr.. Meyers yes.
terday the contractors. Messrs. Ryan 81
Walsh, will find their profits on the Job much
smaller than they would have been other
wise but for this, Mr.. Meyers says they can
blame themselves. In removing the sup
ports to the arches so prematurely they
hoped to save few hundred dollars, but in.
stead, they find themselves put to an al.
ditonal expense and SO is is with
failed to abide by the provisions of the speci
fcations.
Returning to the court house Mr.. Meyers
gave the board, the superintendent and the
contractors some additional instructions and
courteously bade them adieu.
And all the time the commissioners kept
silent.
Mr.. Meyers will return next Tuesday to
see how his instructions are being obeyed.
