STREET CAR TROUBLES.

Both street railway lines are much an
noyed by boys jumping on and Oil the cars
while they are in motion. The boys seem
to think it is annoying to the drivers be-
cause they are stealing ride and hence
great fun, when in reality that Is the last
consideration. 1t is dangerous to life aud
limb and scarcely week goes by without
somebody being hurt AS soon as an acct
dent occurs the parents blame the COM
pany, when as a matter of fact the drivers
have taken every precaution. Mr.. Fitch.
superintendent of the electric line, in
speaking of the matter yesterday said
something would have to be done as he
could not live in constant dread that the
cars in spite of every precaution would
kill some child. Only today, he said.
driver was compelled to reverse his car at
the risk of breaking the machinery to save
boy who persisted in running across the
track to see how close he could come to
being run over and yet escape. The driver
left his car and reported the matter
at once to the boys mother, who
acknowledged that she could not
make her boy obey her although she had
punished him several times for the same
offense Mr. Fitch said that was only one
of number of cases occurring daily and he
did not know just how accident could be
prevented. Only a short time back one of
the drivers of the Wichita Street railway
cars reported to the office that it was al
most impossible to get by the Irving school
at recess on account of children. They
first began to steal rides and gradually
grew holder until one of the boys organic
ed an impromptu wild west and verify at
tempted to hold up the car. Some of the
boys took hold of the mules and several
little tots of probably six summers and
armed with pistols of their own make, or
deled the driver to stand and deliver. This
was fine fun, but some of the little ones
are apt to be run over or hurt bu the
mules

WICHITA'S PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Councilmen at Work Examining Plans Prepar
atory to Making Selections-Matters Re-
lating to Government and County
Building.

The city council commenced work yes
terday on the examination of plans for city
building. The public building committee,
consisting of Carson, Glaze and Wight,
had rustled around among the architects
making plans to submit, and some of them
being ready to submit were brought to the
mayors Office, where majority of the
couucilmen were on hand to commence
figuring on the question. One Of the
members said so far as he was concerned
it was uphill business and he scarcely
knew how to get along. He was no archi-
tect and did not consider himself
able to scarcely tell good plans
from Indifferent ones and hence
had scarcely enough confidence in him
self to have comparative opinion.
Plans have been submitted by Proudfoot
s. Bird, Dumont, Hayward and Mcpherson
and more are due tomorrow morning. The
plans are referred to as being quite clever
and indicating that the city building will
be credit to the city and the finest in the
state The plans as submitted differ very
much, some making large hall for c0un-
Gil room with balcony and others treat
ing that feature with less Importance.
Quite variety of opinion as to the various
branches of the city government is shown
by the location Of each and space given.
The matter will come up for action
at the meeting tomorrow evening. 1t Is
said, however, the meeting will result only
in making record Of the matter, as it is
expected to reach conclusion some time
tomorrow before council session.
MIR. Valentine Jobst, of Peoria, govern
ment building contractor, is expected to
arrive tomorrow morning to look after the
work. The most serious drawback re-
ported at present is the failure to get plans
for heating According to the usually ac-
cepted logic in such matters it is said ar
rangements for heating should have been
made some months ago. There has been
much correspondence on the matter and
the last letter from Washington is to the
effect that plans some time ago had been
commenced, and one evening clerk had
tossed them at the Kansas pigeon hole and
they missed it, landing somewhere in New
Mevico and it took a long time to find
them. The letter carried with it the
usual reticence, and did not give this
direct as the situation, but so much was
inferred According to the latest infor-
nation the plans will be on hand in a
flew days" which is conceded to be capa-
BILE of meaning long or short time, but it
is supposed that one more week will find
contractors figuring on the work. The
contract calls for the building to be COM
plete by February l, aud it would be ready
for use before that time could plans be on
hand for the different work. The circular
iron stairway leading to the tower will be
completed by the middle of the week.
About all the plastering that can be done
before the heating apparatus is put in. is
about completed
Balance g. Jaus will soon have the stone
ready for the tower of the court house.
Work on the tower will be commenced in
earnest this week in the event of weather

A GREAT CAPITALIST.

D. r. Able. of Hari ford. Con-, recog-
nized as one of New England's great CAPT
talists and whom we believe furnished
much of the capital for the construction
of the Midland railway. arrived in the
city Friday and spent yesterday in Wich-
tia, being shown about the city by Rodolph
Hatfield. esq. This is Mr.. Abbe's hrst
visit to Kansas and he finds the country
spread out into illimitable expanses as
compared with the east. However he is
much pleased with it ali and as for Wichita
he hears everywhere that it is going to
make great city.

THE YOUNG MEN OF WICHITA.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
How can the young men of Wichita be
aroused on the question of completing the
Y. II. c. A. building? What magical
power is there that will touch their hearts
and arouse their interest in this great
work! If they coulo be made to feel
1.-THE Of their personal responsibility in
this matter, and would make even very
small sacrifice, the work would be ac-
complished.
There are probably six thousand young
men in our city that could spare FIVE dol
lars each and never feel it. Think of what
is spent for extras: theaters, cigars, games.
etc. Just take off shaving from the
extras and 10, the question is solved.
/ firmly believe that if the attention of
this one class-our yongg men-could be
thoughtfully directed to the benefits that
would arise from the different factors of
this institution, if the building was COM
pleted, they would bring a degree of en-
thusiasm TO the work that has never been
experienced in any enterprise that Wich-
tia has taken hold Of One of the best
fighting regiments Gen. Stonewall Jack
son had was composed largely of young
men (mere boys recruited from his military
school at Lexington, Va. | saw the rush
OF this young regiment at Winchester IN
"a and the oldest veteran lifted his cap in
alteration. But the young men are not TO
be asked to do this work alone. They are
TO be supported by the heaviest batteries
Wichita can command. Sixty thousand
dollars have been contributed toward this
building by our business men-and not
more than one hundred and fly names are
represented in these donations. What have
you done to show your appreciation OF
what has been done for your interests, for
your highest welfare and enjoyment?
Every one in the city should have some
stock" in this building Your name
should be on the list of honor. Watch
the list!'
Eastern people say the masses in the
west have not been educated in the art or
privilege of giving; that the most Of the
giving Is done by Il comparatively few
wealthy persons, while in the east every
one gives according to his ability and the
mites" are appreciated and looked for as
much as the larger gifts. There will, no
doubt, he more large gifts, but no one
should hold back on account OF the size of
the gift. All will be appreciated and due
credit given. Think Of the privileges
such a building will afford our
young men; commodious reading room,
large free gymnasium. reception rooms,
a hall with seating capacity Of 500, suita-
BILE Tor popular, cheap lectures and public
gatherings-all centrally located. These
things, as well as the moral and spiritual
advantages should inspire every man,
woman and child in our city to move for
ward at once in this work, and allow no
delay until our magnificent Y. NJ G. A.
building is Respondent with the light and
warmth, spiritual and social, that it is our
high privilege to enjoy. a gift TO this
beneflcent institution may drive some of
the bats and owls out of our own souls and
let in the light that shall shine brighter
aud brighter unto the perfect day.

ALL GREAT CITIES SUPPORT THEM.

A glance at late report of the financial
standing and building operations of the
Young Mems Christian Association Of
America reveals the fact that acknowl-
edged business centers of the country,
only, boast buildings which were largely
built and are largely supported by bust
ness men. The total valuation of these
buildings in the cities of America reaches
upward of FIVE million Of dollars. New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Brooklyn,
Boston and San Francisco lead with mag
nificent buildings, costing from $780, GOO to
$780, With the exception Of half
dozen other places the Wichita building
cost more and is finer edifice than those
of cities two and three times the size of
Wichita and from five to ten times her
age. These facts speak for themselves.
and speak of Wichita in the most emphatic
way. The Wichita building is from $780,,
600 to $40, 900 better building than that
of Washington City, as great as that of
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, as costly as the
one at indianapolis and finer than those
at the other state capitals. OF course this
is the material, the dollars and cents"
and the advertising view of the enterprise
and it may strike some as an unworthy
one. But this money question touches our
civilization of today at every point, touches
its churches, touches its temperance and
all that, and it will be considered by the
majority. AS for the moral benefits, as
for it's influence with the boys who soon
take our places and with their lives,
thoughts and convictions mold and con-
troll the moral standing of the COM
munity. We have already spoken
at length, but we might quote this
Only a boy on the downward path,
Which leads to eternal night,
viii no one reach out a helping hand
To guide him into the light!
No danger he sees though all around
The tempter has spread his sndres;
Down. down he goes; all forgotten now
Are mothers tears and prayers
The years pass on, and the mother knows
That her boy, once true ana brave,
Is surely Ireading with reckless steps
The path to a drunkard's grave.
Only a sad message came one night,
hasty word is spoken,
Only another soul gone to ruin
But q mothers heart Is 1roken.
Only desolate dreary home,
home from which JOY has hown
Where sorrow reigns in a lonely heart.
Where pleasure no more Is KNOWN
In this conflict my Christion brother,
Would you staud where now you do,
II yours was the desoate hearthstone,
II the BOY belonged 10 YOU!
Would not YOU. too. my Christian sister,
Act nober, Drawer part,
In the battle against lnteinperance
II YOURS was the broken heart?
