Paris milliners say that ribbon will soon
get the better of flowers as the trimming
for stylish hats. 1t is used in all widths,
from "baby" up to ten inches, and ap-
pears in the richest weaves and the most
daring yet artistic color combinations.
Where ribbon is combined with flower
trimming, very marrow velvet is oftenest
used, of color to match the dominant hue
of the blossoms.

A Little Leaven Leavenenth the
Whole Lump.

A disease in one part OF the body will
eventually fill the whole body with disease.
Every year or two some part of the sys-
tenn grows weak and begins 70 decay. Such.
part should be removed at once, and new
matter be allowed to take its place.
There's no need of cutting it out with the
surgeons scalpel. Purge away the old,
diseased and worn out parts with Brand
reth's Pills. Then the new body will take
care of itself.

The High Water Mark of 1869.
People who have been eye witnesses of
the food in the Colorado in 1859 say that
the north bank of the Colorado at Mon
topolis Ford, upon which the north end
of the new county bridge is built, at no
stage of tae high water was entirely Gov
cred. The land beyond this high point
falls toward the north at a considerable
descent, and is subject to overflow. 1t
gives the volume of water which is forced
into the narrow channel of the Colorado
at beats large area of land over which
to spread. The present bridge is at least
four feet above this bank, and food like
the one of 1869, as stated by the en-
gineers, would never damage the struct-
ure.
There seems to be too much SECTIONAL
feeling involved in this matter, and those
parties opposing any compromise, for the
purpose of preventing the use of the
bridge for long years to come, ought to
consider that a just and equitable settle
ment is to the interest of the county.
Nearly every public enterprise in Travis
county has terminated in dispute aud
was heralded all over the state.

piled TO n building A church had been
erected In Sheffield IN which the preacher was
altogether unhcard, however great his exer-
ton Various unsuccessful expedieuts were

suspended that the pulpit was In tho focus Of

issuing from the focus % the mirror would
be thrown forward IN parallel beam The
consequence Of this was that every word ut
tered In the pulpit could be distinctly heard
throughout the church indeed. the SPEAKER
was more distinctly heard ut tia far end than
at the intermediate portions, because this
parallel beam of sound WIS directly cast upon
those In tho distant gallery. Unfortunately.
however, the reflector acted IN both direc-
tons II any ono whispered In that distant

SWENSON'S PATENT CASE.

1t will be remembered that several
months ago suit was brought by the
government to cancel the patent OBJ
tanned by Prof. Swenson covering the
process of making sugar from sorghum
cane, the grounds of the action being
that Swenson, at the time the discovery
was made by him, was in the govern
ment employ and engaged in that specific
work, and that being thus engaged and
the experimentation being made at the
governments expense, the result thereof
ought by right to inure to the govern
ment, his employer. 1t will also be re
membered that SwenSon filed a demur-
rer to the suit, which demurrer has Just
been overruled by the court and the case
set for trial. The issue will now be tried
upon It's merits.
When it was first discovered that
Swenson had obtained the patent in his
own name there was pretty general
discussion of the matter throughout the
county, especially in the west, the pop
ular verdict at the time being that the
patent should not have been issued TO
Swenson, under the circumstances and
ought, therefore, to be cancelled. Max
ing a long matter short it must be adj
mitted that there are two sides to the
question. 1t is not absolutely clear that
Swenson was not entitled to the patent,
as much SO as the employee of any pri-
vate concern who make improvements
or new discoveries in any line of me-
chanics. in which last there are numer-
Gus instances. Many of the most valua-
BILE inventions and discoveries known to
science have been made by persons in
the employ of and drawing their daily
support from corporations and indi-
vidals, but nobody questions the right
of such persons to the benefit of his in
ventive genius and entitled to the
protection afforded by a patent.
And if so cases like these last
Why not in Swenson's case: Much may
be said on both sides of the question. but
the EAGLES guess is that the case in
point will be decided in favor of the de-
PENDANT. The action of the court in
overruling Swenson's demurrer simply
establishes the right of the government
to bring such suits, which is. of course,
eminently proper. The government
must be in position TO protect itself
against fraud, and it is likewise its duty
TO protect the rights of its citizens, midi
vidually as well as collectively.

COMMERCIAL CENTERS.

A lively and logical kicker. who for
his rashness will no doubt be lynched,
but who from his wisdom ought to come
to Wichita and join board of trade
who not only believes as he does but
acts accordingly, writes the doom of
that mushroom city, Los Angeles, as fol-
lows, and writes it to one of her own
papers:
Los Angeles will never amount to any
thing as a commercial center as long as
she buys more than she sells. She cannot
grow any longer simply because of her de-
lightful climate. She cannot sell much
more real estate TO eastern people. She
cannot build many more house and bust
ness blocks to stand empty. She cannot
make money out of eXtortionate rents.
She cannot grow into a large city by in
creasing her hotel accommodation. She
cannot become prosperous by advertising
her resources. She cannot invite people Of
moderate means to reside within her
environs until she finds something for
them to do for living.

People Who Fret

One Of the most striking examples Of this
lnrge class Of unfortunate beings is the great
Carlyle-the man Of noble heart and strong
mind, capable of grasping great subjects and
giving wise words of admonition regarding
them, and yet SO difficult TO live with COM
fortably, because he WIS easily disturbed by
TRIES and gave free vent to en- oral express
sion Of the annoyances he felt.
There is touch of the ridiculous, but much
more that is pathetic, in the story of Carlyle's
behavior on his return home after an absence,
during which his loved Jennie Clrs. Carlyle
worked with loving industry to make her
husbands home coming an especially happy
one The study was made Immediately neat,
the new furniture arranged In the most pleas
ing order, and dainty touch given here and
there to make all home like. The task COM
pleted, Mrs Carlyle awaited in happy ex-
pectancy tho return Of the master of the
house.
What did Carlyle do TO show his apprecia-
ton Of this loving service so willingly rem
dered, Did he express his satisfaction in
words, or even by look Of pleased ssIrprisel
Not ha Surveying tie room with critical
eyes he walked TO a window, discovered that
the sash ratified, and vented his displeasure in
unnistalzable language This one small flaw

GALL PURE GOLD" IS WICHITA AND
HER EAGLE.

One of the most prominent and DOW
erful advertising agencies Of New York
takes up the New York Tribunes edi-
torial on Wichita and the EAGLE, to-
gether with a quotation from Harper's.
which they print on an Illuminated
card six by eight inches in beautiful
and attractive manner, on which card
the business men of New York City are
assured that Wichita is a coming great
city and that the EAGGE's circulation is
''all pure gold;'' in other words that the
individuality of its readers and the stamp
of the papers influence are exceptional.
The firm further in its card shows that
in 1870 this country was practically an
untrodden wilderness, but that today the
greatest city in this region, next to Kan
sas City, Missouri, is Wichita, Kansas.
One of these cards reached us yester-
day. While it is issued as a matter of
business by a responsible firm and it
would be therefore improper to thank
them, we must tender at least our con-
gratulations, for all they say of Wichita
is true and the EAGLES circulation is '.all
pure gold"

GROWING OYSTERS IN KANSAS.

The EAGLES exchanges seem not to
have caught on to the new industry
about to be developed in central Kansas,
rs set forth in a special dispatch from
Great Bend on Sunday morning. The
overlooking or artesian salt wells are to
be run into the surrounding depressions,
forming deep salt water lakes in which
are to be grown oysters, CLAIMS, terrapin
crabs, schrimp and other toothsome shell
fish. Its big thing and the proposition
would be surprising if coming from any,
where than from Kansas. Who would
have said five years ago that Kansas in
sugar and in salt would lead all other
states.
