day and makes trip to Wichita for the

attracted to give the question some per-
sonal and careful attention. He seems to
be perfectly familiar with the recent &C
ton of the railroad commissioners and

acknowledgement invaluable to the city
not only as direct benefit for present
business establishments in the city, but
important to be known by business men

SCHOOL BONDS

To the Editor o: the Eagle.
The school board needs SEQ 600 and asks
for 100000 Ordinarily borrower who
goes to a bank and says he needs g and
wants to borrow So, or needs large sum
and desires to borrow one-third more than
his needs is set down as bad financier.
This is the position the school board has
publicly assumed.
As taxpayer who believes in education
but not in prodigality, / am opposed 10
bonds for any greater amount than Is
needed. That school houses are demanded
in certain localities there 10 no doubt, but
that in some localities where the board
now say they want them there Is just a.
little doubt that none are needed.
The board, as a board, having shown
that they have but little regard for spend
ing peoples money, though not prodigal
in spending the money of the educational
members OF the board have given cautious
business men a suspicion that this board
ought not 70 be trusted with any money,
except the law places in their hands, and
il Is a source of regret that this excess
bond has been asked for.
The Judgment OF the writer OF this
piece is that the 800 900 bonds should be
voted down aud a new call for $50. 0oG
made, and that the people fully under
stand whsoe these houses are TO be built

A GREAT SUCCESS.
Closing Exercises at All ,Hallows Academy.

Yesterday afternoon carriage after car
rage rolled up to the door of All Hallows
academy, and at the hour appointed for
the closing exercises to begin, SO many had
alighted that the good sisters found them
selves somewhat puzzled to make all COM
Portable, but succeeded admirably.
OF all the educational institutions of
this city that have closed the school year
with a program, not one has received a
more expectant audience and none fulfilled
the expectations better. There was not SO
much desire to show off as to do each her
best, and pleasing as have been their form
er musicales and literaries, this last was
much the best.
The exercises were opened by all the pu-
pills singing hymn composed by the Rt.
Rev. Bishop, who was present. Miss His
lop then delivered short but pithy salu-
tatory. Then came the time-honored but
entertaining fan drill. The young misses
went through with the figures and move
ments with the precision and grace which
NAKED their Gypsy dance on a former &C.
cason.
Then followed a recitation by Miss Rich
ardson, in which prayer in song gave her
a fine opportunity for displaying her pure
sweet voice, which she fully improved.
The Minimus' chorus with guitar accom-
paniment by Miss Burson, was delight
full number.
The audience were next treated to q
Half Hour With the Poets" Twelve
young ladies gave very interesting sketches
OF the lives of famous poets, rendered some
Of their well known but always new COM
positions, and in general made the half
hour instructive yet not tiresome.
Miss Hislop delighted the audience by
singing her number.
The leading pianists of the academy,
Miss Grace Guyton and Miss Leslie, did
their very best; their technique was good,
and they played finely.
The most taking number was How
Ruby Played" recited by Miss York. She
showed an excellent understanding of her
subject, and the original hayseed, could he
have been there, would hove exclaimed,
True to the Lifer'
The bishod then presented the prizes of
the year. To Miss York, Paradise Lost"
donated by the bishop; to Miss Jessie Les
lie, gold pen, for her most marked i'm
provement in penmanshlp; and for observ-
ance of rules, the gold medal to Miss Grace
Guyton. He then made them a short and
kindly address, and the second year Of All
Hallows had come 10 q woperfully success
full end
To see the interest manifested and good
will shown by especially non-Catholics, in
their work of educating, not only the
brain, but also the hearts OF their charges,
Is very gratifying to the sisters.

A BIG DEAL.

Mr. J. w Paris and J. S. Vane, the At
tica, Indiana, bankers and capitalists. who
were here last spring looking after Wichita
property, are here again in the John
Bright university, which corporation has
a very valuable franchise of real estate.
We hope the proposed deal may go There
would be money in it for the investors and
a great shcool in it for the Friends, and
additional wealth and interest in it for the
city. The amount Of property involved is
valued at hundreds of thousands, out Of
which is to secure a sufficient sum TO build
the university and put it on to its feet.

HOW HE GOT HIS MONEY.

Yesterday man entered barber shop
on North Main and sat down in the chair.
The barber lathered his face and shaved
one side of it, when he suddenly stopped,
and looking the customer in the eyes, said,
"You owe me dollar, now pay it or will
not do a thing more" No coaxing or
pleading could avail and the man, wiping
part Of the lather off his face, went out,
borrowed dollar, turned it over to the
barber and the shaving was finished.

very rough country, and his meek spirit had
been sorely tried. lie had found the spirit of
irreverence and disbelief all over the land and
the ground was very stony. But he left in
despair whom he struck an old man at rail-
way station in Texas. They were both waiting
for the train. They discussed various things,
and finally the missionary asked: "Aro you
prepared to die?" "I guess you've always got
to be prepared in this country. Yes, I'm pre-
pared to die or get the drop on the other fell
