DEATH OF A WELL KNOWN HORSE.
To the Editor ofthe Eagle.

To the Editor ofthe Eagle.
"Poor old Joe" he died as he had lived
one of the noblest creations of the animal
kingdom. He only dumb brute, but
endowed with an intelligence which
seemed almost human, at all times kind,
gentle and affectionate he had endeared
himself to the members of the family cen
to the little child. After five weeks of
struggle he yield to the inevitable and by
the hand of the grim destroyer was laid
low. There are many other things in
this life to cause sorrow. and we may be
termed perhaps simple or another equally
as effective SYNONYM, but our apologies for
our thoughts. he was to us Joe" 1t
was the pleasure of the writer TO have
been the guest of Mr.. Grant Hatfield,
his owner, last winter and more than once
during that visit did Joe leave every thing
on the roads when we were driving. 1t
has been said of our horse that be was one
of the speediest goers in town, and we be-
heve it. But no more twill be now
only in kind thoughts and while twas a
sorrowfui death to us all. It's better and
poor old Joe'' is out Of his misery. W.

THE SCHOOL BOOK CONVENTION.
Delegates Elected Today for the Text Book
Publishing House Lobbyists
ON Hand Loaded for Game

Election will be held today in each of the
school districts and townships to select
| delegates for the Tuesdays convention to
determine what text books shall be adopted
| for the use of the schools in the county.
There are 161 school districts and twenty
seven townships, and according to the re-
cent law on the question. the convention
shall be composed of one delegate from
each school district and one from each
| township which will call for convention
of 1873 delegates.
For some days agents of publishing
houses dealing in school books have been
flying around the country looking after
their interests. To the successful one it
is said to mean many thousand dollars.
and their efforts for the money is said
to be very much like an oid-fashioned
fire eating campaign. They have been go
ing over the county like candidates. the
only great difference being. as alleged.
they have more money for the boys than
the average candidate. Each fellow
is waiting on certain districts to get del
egate from each favOring his system of
school books, and he has enough in mis-
mind to give him the plum, but whether
he will get them or not is regarded by
himself as the question.
The convention of Tuesday is looked up
on with considerable interest. The book
men" it is thought will be present with
their workers and combinations, and the
delegates will have lively time of it to
keep cool and find out what they really
want. The county superintendent Office
seemed to be quite lively yesterday-sup-
posed to be sort of shadow of the
coming event. Some of them are quite
anxious to know if the county
superintendent is going TO make any rec
concentrations to the convention as wheth-
er he is going to leave the matter with the
delegates to act upon their own informa-
ton. The stirring around, some of it at
least, has caused some of the leading bust
ness men to remark that the law is on a
par with some others most deserving of
criticism resulting from the work of the
last legislature. 1t is said that several hun
dred dollar bills have already passed by
way of securing influence and a number Of
home stretch agreements made which call
for more. 1t is thought the scenes around
the convention Tuesday may, in certain
respects, cause many to think an average
Kansas legislature had opened up for
business.

The Young Women's Christian associa-
ton feel greatly encouraged by the SUBJ
stantial aid received from the citizens of
Wichita. in the way Of good books at their
! recent book reception. at which time a
number Of valuable works were placed
upon their shelves. Among Others was
complete of Waverly, twelve volumes,
beautifully bound, for which the donor has
the most heartfelt thanks of the associa-
ton. Some persons have said to US, we
did not get tosattend the reception. but we
have some good books for you. Is this not
the case with others9 If 80, they will still
be thankfully received, and can be left at
the rooms, 2l3 North Market, at any time.
Perhaps our book dealers and others
handling books may be able to
help us in this matter, and
thus help forward the good work. Young
ladies are cordially invited to drop into the
rooms and avail themselves of the oppor-
tunities afforded in the way of good read
ing matter, The association is planning
a secretary who shall have full charge of
the work, giving her whole time and ener-
gies to it. AS yet these plans are not fully
matured, but at the meetings held during
the visit of the international and state sec
retaries, quite a liberal donation was given
toward the support of secretary. The
association itself doing a larger part of
this, which was supplemented by its
friends. It is our wish to increase our
membership. Several new names have
found a place on the roll, and there are
not many others who wish to become
members, either active or associate.
Any lady can become an active men,
Der who is in good standing in any
evangelical church, by the payment of one
dollar; this entities them to hold office or
vote in the meetings of the association.
Associate members may help in many
ways; the membership fee is the same as
that of active members. Then we have
the sustaining members and life members.
Are there not many Christian men and
women in this city who are willing to help
US in some one of these ways, either as
active or silent members? There is GER
tainly a wide field for work in this city
among the young women who are yet
strangers among us.
Thanking our friends for their help and
encouragement in the past, we beg IA con-
tinuance of the same in the future.

THE CITY BUILDING.
WICHITA, Kan, Oct. 10. 1889.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
After reading your article in this morn
ing's issue concerning the city building, l
could not help but think that if our city
straight out way of doing business about
them that the EAGLE has itwould have
located the building north without going
to the trouble of taking the roundabout
way of doing it that they have. If the
council think that the people of the south
end cannot see through their little ruse at
glance, they must think that the south
enders are as ignorant as some of the
councilman are themselves. The south
end has always helped the city in every
thing that it has ever undertaken, and
everything that the public has helped in
has gone north, except the nail factory.
1t was located south and it received so
much encouragement and aid that the
foundation was built. but that was all.
So much for being located south.
What better location could be had than
the one that was selected, or than the one
at the northwest corner of Emporia ave-
nue.. Either one would be convenient for
the city, and would help the south and
east part of town. Would also show I'D
we'll to strangers coming from the depots
am Interested in property north and
SOUTH but think the south should have
building according to understanding and
promise. If the south end can't have the
building they don't have to vote for the
bonds. TAXPAYER
If the city council as representatives of
the city lack the backbone to decide where
the building should be located without re-
sorting to the boyish by-play of vote.
which must necessarily divide the south
part of the city simply by its own terms.
we suggest that the vote be confined to
sites south of the avenue. What would
be more just would be to leave it to the
votes of the people of theso side. How
ever the fixing of the site is response
bility properly belonging to the council it
self and it should have fixed it, or having
fixed it once, should have stood by their
action, especially so as embodying, SEEM
ingly, the best Judgment of strong ma
jority. We have not the least doubt that
great majority of the business men north
of line drawn through the center of
Douglas avenue are in favor of the south
side having the city building, or for that
matter that great majority of the busi-
ness men of Main street and of all the other
business street north of the avenue desire
that the people of the south side shall be
treated justly, if not generously in this
matter of public improvement

YOUNG LADIES INSULTED.
Two Men Force Their Way Into
Their Room.


Quite a sensation occurred in lodg-
ing g-house on South Main street
last night about II 80 O'Clock. 10
appears that two young ladies, Miss A.
H. Rosenberg and Miss Mary Walsh,
occupy a room there together, and
shortly before the time mentioned one
of them retired. The other young lady
was little later about entering the
room, and a few minutes after she had
gone into the room there came a
knock at the door. The young
lady who had retired ran into the
closet which was in the room, and the
other went to the door, supposing that it
was someone residing in the house who
wanted something. No sooner had she
unlocked the door than two men forced
their way into the room, expressing q
determination to stay there the remain
der of the night. The young lady told
them to leave the room Immediately or
she would call for the police. They paid
no attention to her demands, and it is
said used come very insulting language.
One of the men then went to the closet,
and despite the efforts of the young lady
on the inside to hold the door closed, he
pulled it open and placed here in
very embarrassing position. By this
time the other young lady had escaped
across the hallway, and secured the
assistance OF a young man who also
roomed in the house. He found an Of
fcer who arrested P. s. McGinnis and
took him to the Police Station, where he
was charged with disturbing the peace.
The other man, whose name is said to
be ]. Brown, and who is conductor on
the railroad running between here and
San Diego, escaped. A warrant will be
sworn out for his arrest today. The
young ladies visited the Police Station
last night, where they repeated the
statement above given. McGinnis was
released on $25 bail.
