Protection from Clothes Moths.

During the latter part of May or early
in June vigorous campaign should be
entered upon. All carpets, clothes,
cloth-covered furniture, furs, and rugs
should be thoroughly shaken and aired,
and, it possible, exposed to the sun
light as long as practicable. If the
house is badly infested Or if any partic-
ular article is supposed to be badly in
tested. free use of benzine, in the
manner mentioned in my last article,
will be advisable. All floor cracks and
dark closets should be sprayed with this
substance, Too much pains cannot be
taken to destroy every moth and every
egg and every newly Matched larva, for
immunity for the rest of the year de-
ponds argcly-almost entirely-upon
the thoroughness with which the work
of determination is carried on at this
time. The benzine spray will kill the
insect In every stage, and it is one of
the few substances which will destroy
the egg. [ would, however, repeat the
caution as it is infammability. No light
should be brought into room in which
it has been used until after thorough
airing and until the odor is almost dis.
sipated.
The proper packing away of furs and
winter clothing through the Summer is
serious matter. A great deal of un-
necessary expenditure in the way of
cedar chests and cedar wardrobes and
various compounds in the way of pow
ders has been urged by writer's on these
pests. But experience fully proves that
after thorough treatment in May or
June. garments may be safely put away
fol- the rest of the season with no other
protection than wrapping them closely
in stiff paper.
An excellent plan is to buy for a
small sum from tailor number of
suits, and carefully fold and pack away
ping paper around the edge of the cover
SO as to leave no crack. These. boxes
will last for Lifetime with careful use.
Others use for the same purpose ordi-
nary paper -four sacks or linen pillow
cases, which answer we'll. The success
of these means depends entirely on the
thoroughness of the preliminary work.
Camphor, tobacco, naphthaline and
other strong odorants are only partial
repellants and without the precautions
urged are of little avail,-Good House.

IF butter is kept covered tight when
put III the ice chest it will not absorb
the odor of any food lying near. There
is nothing SO sensitive as butter.
IF your child has the earache, turn a
drop Of water as hot as can be borne
into the ear, and cover it quickly with q
bit of cotton batting. This simple rem
edy has relieved many obstinate cases of
earache.
For coffee stains try putting thick
glycerine on the wrong side, and wash
ihg it out with luke-warm water. For
raspberry stains, weak ammonia and
water is the best.
BOILING new milk will take out m ost
fruit stains. Dip the articles in several
times. Another way is to dip in sour
buttermilk and dry in the sun. Wash in
cold water and dry two or three times
daily.

THAT PAPER THEFT CASE.

Peter Flynn Oliver, ESQ, the lawyer
who defended the colored man, or boy,
Tom Powell, charged by the city circulator
with stealing Policeman Longmire's Sun
day mornings EAGLE, writes us a card
protesting against our reporters account
of the trial, saying, among other things,
thai the boy took the paper from the side
walk. and that if he was not a poor boy
the case would be appealed. That's all
right But it's his side Of the case, which
we are not pleading, nor can we be forced
TO plead it. The EAGLE has been more or
less stolen for years. Three boys were
caught on one single morning, but they
were all under ten years of age and we
didn't have it in our heart to prosecute
them. If Peter Flynn Oliver, Esq client
had dropped the paper when Mrs. l..
called to him he probably would have gone
scot free. As for Mr.. divers quotation
from Shakespeare, the trash" was not
stolen from us but from a patron whom
we propose to protect, and if his client
does not want his good name filched" let
him stop smouching papers which do not
belong to him. 1t wasn't because he was
a poor boy, nor because he was a colored
boy that he was prosecuted, but because
we have evidence going to show that he
had been in the habit of stealing and sell
ing EAGLES. Personally we would rather
give the boy thousand Eagles than for a
moment to think we had done him a
wrong, more especially because he is
colored boy who presumably not only has
the difficulties and maybe the tendencies
OF race hereditary TO contend with, but

BUILDING NOTES,

j. S. p. Gordon'S two-Story brick busi-
ness block of fifty feet frontage. at the
southwest corner of Elm and Main streets.
is progressing finely, the walls being near
ly ready for the joists of the second floor.
So far this winter the weather has been
delightful for building purposes, there
having been only three days, and those
during the present week, when the stone
masous or bricklayers could not work out
of doors. This was caused by the icy and
Slippery condition Of the building mate
rial
Tony Bruhn's new three-story brick,
fifty feet front, wholesale building, on
North Water, just above the Wholesale
Grocery company, is going along. The ex-
cavating is completed and the brick piled
up in the street, ready to begin work at
once.
John Rossler yesterday commenced the
excavation for new business building to
be erected on the east side of North Main,
between Second and Third streets. 1t will
be two stories in height. with a front of
twenty-five feet and depth of eighty.
The building will be of brick with front
of stone, it will be occupied as wholesale
wallpaper house by Mr. Rossler.
The floor joists were yesterday being laid
for the second story of the Bryan Fruit
Co. building, on North Main street.
The building of Judge Glenn on West
Douglas is nearing completion. With the
interior furnishing and the putting in of
plate glass in the front the room will be
ready for occupancy.

THAT ANSWER TO "OI.D TIMER"
And Some Suggestions to Those Who Would
Fly of the Handle in the Same Direction.

The gentleman who made the answer to
"Old Timer in Tuesday mornings EAGLE,
it seems has caused no little talk in GER
tain quarters 1t is probably unnecessary
to say that the editor of this paper does
not agree with the writer, nor that it is
wisdom to publish such radical and ex-
IRENE views. But it was written, ostensi-

citizen and a member of the board of trade
which board have more than once

seem to us SO uncalled for that we have re-
fused their publication, no doubt greatly
TO the disgust of the authors, any one of
whom think that they know more Of the
practical side of this subject than the ed
itor of the EAGLE, and two or three of
whom claim that they have done wonders
IN forwarding the great interests of this
city. We desired to give every side hear

cannot consent that our ever-continued
and slavish work in one direction, and its
effect on those at distance who are inter
ested in our city, shall be brought to
nought, or at least weakened, by men,
however big and rich they may be, simply
because they happen to feel spleenish over
some matter which is not going according
TO their notions. Therefore, and this is an
ail-sufficient notice in discussing this
court question or any other touching the
welfare of the city, don't forget that you
are not only talking to Wichita, but to

TIE NEW COERT.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Your correspondent from Topeka seems
to think the bill introduced by Mr.. Doug
lass for the Sedgwick Common Pleas
court embodies so completely the wants of
the situation that nothing is left to be
said. As the court is concurant with the
District court in everything except fore
closures, divorces and appeals from JUS
tees of the peace. Separate court rooms,
officers, jurors, new record books, with the
attendant expenses, follow as a matter of
course, seems inopportune at this time. A
year hence, with the new court house COM
pleted good crop to tide over the two
years of failure, might, in the event
deemed advisable, be favorably consid-
cred. But to conservative man up tree
it seems that Mr.. Douglass is biting too
big chew. There might have seemed
some show of reason for a separate crimi-
nal court Under Mr. Douglass bill the
county attorney and clerk and reporter
must be Ubiquitous to run through with
out confusion confOunded to say nothing
of the double record books and records.
1t is hoped that the intelligent manhood
of the board of trade will rise to the level
of the occasion and give the sentiment of
disapproval so manifest in the community.
