TO PURIFY WATER.

Boiling sterilizes wafer and within thirty
minutes win have killed harmful bacteria.
Drugs and other agents acting chemically,
if used in amounts which are commonly safe,
do not sterilize water.
The prolonged heat which water undergoes
in the usual process of diStiiation destroys
all germs which may be in the water under
going the process.
The finer the substance through which the
water passes and the lower the pressure the
more perfect is the action of the filter in
holding back the bacteria.
A bad water filter is less desirable than
pure water in its natural state When, there
fore, alteration is employed because of real
danger Of infection, the filtered water should,
as a rule, be furthermore boiled.
Filtering is done carefully on a large scale
through sand beds, upon which a fine layer
of organic and inorganic matter is expressly
produced by standardization, because OF ITS
valuable action IN holding back the great
majority vi the bacteria.

SUFFRAGE WOMEN.

WICHITA, Kan, April 4, 1889.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
The communication from the majority
of the good women of Wichita, return
ing you thanks for the fearless, outspo-
ken, valiant manner you have manifest
ed in defending the right in regard to
woman's suffrage, finds Judgment IN
many hearts in this part of the city.
Thanks to "a. L. T." your correspo1-
dent, for the plain, truthful, honest
teachings of the Bible, SO clear that no
one need err therein. At the same time
some noted suffragists may cali him a
fiaIsifier. Yet the truth will go march
ing on. If some of the noted in this
cause would study Gods word without
being biased by reading novels
and other peoples writings.
who want to make themselves notorious,
we think it much better for the cause of
Christ and humanity.
We think some women now stand
where Eve stood when God said: "Thou
shalt not eat of the tree of knowledge"
But Eve. like these women of today can
not be satisfied until they have tasted,
disobeyed. Then their eyes will open
and they will see the wrong they have
done. God has plainly given woman
her place and man his place in the affairs
of this life, but some women are ill at
ehse desiring to become more conspicu-
Gus, even if it be by disobeying Gods
commands. E. D. MUM.

for permanent investment, the effects and
influences of which money, and of the
men and interests which furnish it, will
put Wichita in a position that she will
not only be able to command all that is
logically and naturally hers, but which
will render her perfectly Indifferent to
the rivalries of all other cities, near or
remote, great and small.
The Peerless Princess of the Plains,
the Magical Mascot Of the Meridian, is
again on her feet, has again plumed her
mighty and broad sweeping wings for
longer, stronger and loftier flight than
any yet essayed in her past brief, but
wonderfully brilliant record. Hav-
ing proved her right to exist,
proved her right to be
recognized as the commercial metropo-
lis of the great central states; having by
the force of her own inherent power of
prestige, location and position, won in
every contest to which it has been
found possible to subject her; in short
having demonstrated her right to reign
as the survival of the fittest. her future
pathway lies open and unobstructed,
widening as it goes, hedged about upon
every side by success, at its end power
and wealth and greatness.

WHO ARE THESE LEADERS?

have it on good authority that $50, 900
has already been subscribed in Wichita
by leading Republicans toward the es
Enlistment of a Republican newspaper
in that city whose chief aim shall be to
cripple the EAGLE. The design is to
raise $50, 000.-Topeka dispatch to Kan
sas City Times.
By this it would seem, notwithstand-
ing Kansas City's repeated declarations
that Wichita is busted, that money is
quite plenty here, and, for that matter,
fools also. But why raise such an
amount to cripple the EAGLE? Conced-
ing that the expenditure Of so much
money would hurt this paper, wouldn't
it be wiser to strengthen the fame bearer
of Wichita in that amount? The EAGLE
is Wichita's most powerful friend
abroad, and to cripple instead of strength
ening it would seem pity, in one sense,
and very foolish thing in any sense. If
the editor of the EAGLE is what's
troubling these Republican gentlemen of
plethoric purse and vaultihg ambition,
we assure them that if they will satisfy
us that majority of the people believe
as they do it won't cost $4,000 nor
cent to get rid of him. We assure this
$4,000 crowd that it is not money nor
the hope of money that holds us to the
EAGLE and to the fortunes of Wichita
and her people, and as greater sums
than the one mentioned have been
offered us to get out of Wichita-one of
which offers is now pending-we assure
them that it will take more than their
$4,000 to either cripple Wichitas organ
or crush its editor.

Commissioner Oberly, of the Indian
bureau, has recommended to Secretary
Noble that the great warehouse where
the supplies which the government fur
nishes TO the Indians are kept be moved
from New York to Chicago. This sug-
gestion is based on the fact that Chicago
Is not only good market in which to
purchase supplies, but it is much nearer
the Indian agencies than New York. and
also affords far superior railroad facili-
ties for transportation to the frontier
The points are well taken and the reasons
there are for irrefutable, and both are
IN perfect harmony with the principles
that inspired and caused the building up
al this point great commercial center.
The legitimate business is 10 bring the
supplyer and supplied as close together
as possible, and this principle, already
developed into an existing fact, cannot
fail to give Wichita a prestige as the
great distributing point for q scope of
country far SURPRISING in extent and va
ried resources that of any other city on

OKLAHOMA QUERIES.
COATES, KAN, April ).

COATES, KAN, April ).
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Will you please state whether or not the
Oklahoma country, that is to be opened to
settlement April %. is surveyed in sec
lions and quarter sections, and also how
long settlement will holda piece of land
without filing? III. OSBORNE.
The land in question, in fact the whole
of the Indian territory, was surveyed
by the government several years ago AID
the corners of sections and quarters
marked, though we understand many of
the marks have been obhterated, in
which cases a re-survey will be neces-
sary to establish the lines and corners.
As to holding claims by settlement with
out filing, that will depend altogether
upon circumstances. The person who
may get filing on claim entered at
land Office before said claim has been
entered upon by another the first filing
will hold good, but the first settler upon
a claim will be entitled to hold it if he
can prove that he was actually on the
claim prior to the date of the filing of
another. But a settler should not delay
filing on his claim, as promptness in this
will prevent contests over priority of
claim that will naturally arise if this is
delayed.
