AN IMPORTANT NATTER.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Permit me through your columns to call
the attention Of the people to the import
ant school bond election to be held in this
city Monday, the 18TH The total number
of rooms owned by the city which can be
used for school purposes is "a. as follows:
Lincoln 6, Franklin 6, Webster 8, High
school 4, Emerson 5, Park 6, Irving s,
Carlton s, and Levy street 2, the latter not
paid for. The Irving building and add
tions on the others being built of the gen.
eral fund. and some of our bonds having
matured and been paid, there are now
outstanding only s65, 900 school bonds
in this city. This is wonder
fully low amount when we consider
that Topeka, with nearly the same popu-
latlon as Wichita, has the large amount OF
500, 900 school bonds. Much has been said
IL an evening sheet that 900 would be
sufficient to build all necessary rooms.
with the amount proposed we wish to
build an eight room building in the sixth
ward, eight room building in the Third
ward, four room building on College Hill,
four room building on Paramount, four
room building at car WORKS, four room
building III Fifth ward, making thirty
Two rooms, to say nothing OF pressing de-
mands in the southwestern part OF the
First ward and Riverside.
IN some OF these localities IL is
will be necessary to purchase sites. A
low estimate of cost of buildings is $1,000
per ROOM but at present cheap prices of
material and labor it might be done,
which is S64. 200, leaving only $50, 600 to
purchase sites, put in heating apparatus
and furnishing seats, ETC., and some of the
furnaces in our present buildings have to
be replaced. The board canvassed the
matter very carefully, and as business
men and Taxpayers vitality interested in
the welfare of our city, unanimously de-
clded that 100000 was the lowest amount
that would satisfy all parts of the city.
1t seems to me unfair, and l think the
board would not consider for a moment
the proposition Of voting bonds to supply
one portion of the city with school build
lngS and the other localities have very in
adequate privileges. 1t would be very I'm
this year and an equal amount next yea
because neither proposition would meet
with favor. 1t will cost the board at least
5000 to rent rooms for another year in
Guiding extra cost of heating and janitor
service if the bonds are not voted, while
per cent. bonds will not cost the city but
s., 900 and better facilities. While can not
agree with much the board has done
and have been sat on" unceremoniously
for it. Still | think every reasonable man
who has the good of the city at heart and
a proper regard for the educational inter
ests will 90 to the polls on Monday and
deposit his ballot 'for the bonds. "
Very truly yours,
r. L. LAWRENCE.

Qualifications for a Cowboy.

To be successful cowboy one must be
skillful in four qualities. He must be good
rider, have complete control of his lariat, a
good knowledge OF the country and be a keen
Judge Of cattle and their brands. Riding all
sorts of horses as he does, soon gives him an
intuitive knowledge es to whether any par
ticular horse will give him trouble and when
once on he has got to stick for all he knows
how. His rope comes in handy fifty times q
day, either to catch some rnaddened COW or
runaway calf, to haul wood and hundreds of
other uses Without a knowledge Of tho
country be could never pilot branch Of cat
tie to the main herd, nor could he look up
strays, and finally other cattle men would
palm of the most miserable specimens upon
him if he could not tell good beef from bad
His readiness to distinguish and knowledge of
the various marks used to denote ownership,
are exceedingly important, especially in the
spring, as disputes frequently arise. All
these qualities a really good cowman excels
in, and when to these ere added cheerfulness,
adaptability and good hu1nor It is hard to
find more pleasant companion. The life is
hard, but the freedom and excitement seem
IA most instances to outweigh the hardships

Changes of Sentiment.

Among our other reforms is the present
crusade against lotteries. It is queer how
public opinion changes. One Of the pursst
and wisest religious refor7ners that ever
hved-the founder Of a great church-re-
corded the fact in his note book, about a
century ago, that he had bought a lottery
ticket, and had prayed that it might draw a
prize. And yet he was possessed Of as much
spiritual enlightenment as his followers OF
today who brand lotteries as something
criminal
In Philadelphia the steeple on Christ church
was built by lottery, and IN 1904 the Sec
ond Baptist church of that city organized q
lottery.
Once congress authorized lottery to raise
Slo0, 600 to pay the troops

DURATION OF-LIR
People Live Longer Now Than They DID
in the Olden Times.

P6OplG 1.-Two Longer NOW 408u xnGy lyl0
in the Olden Times.
DR.. Todd, president of the Georgia State
Medical society, read at the annual meeting
of that body, held at Atlanta, paper on
Longevity" which possesses great intrinsic
interest and at the same time is gratifying as
showing how much medical and sanitary sci
ence and more rational mode of life have
done to probing the human span, and how
much better in every way are the conditions
of today than of those good old times" for
the return of which sentimentalists vainly
sigh.
The doctor is modest in his claims, making
no effort to monopoize in the name of the
medical profession credit for betterment in
which SO many agencies play parts; but be
does claim, and with reason, that the intelli-
gent physician has had much to do with the
result, and that the death rates of the va
rious peoples of the globe bear ratio very
nearly inverse to the number of qualified
physicians among them.
The highest death rate in Europe is that of
Russia, ranging from 20 per 1000 in Cour-
land and % per !, eco in the Baltic province,
there being many physicians in both districts,
to 40 ID places where there are but few. But
onehah Of the children born in some parts of
Russia reach the seventh year; and of 600
male children only from $50 to 400 reach the
age Of twenty-one years, and of these only
375 are able bodied Russia. with all its
teeming population, has only Is, Ala regular
physicians, and one surgeon to LOG 900 popuIa-
zion.
The United States, having doctor Of med
icine for every COO population, shows the
lowest death rate IN the world, England fol-
lowing. The average Hts expectancy In the
United States is now ffty-fve years; in Eng
land among the urban population it is fifty,
and among the ruralists ffty-four years.
Russians have a life expectancy Of but TWEEN
ty-eight years, approximately, and Chilians
of the same, while in Enobed, in the Souian,
twenty-three years is generation. The av-
erage life in the Rome of the Caesars was
eighteen years; now it is forty years Within
fifty years the average in France has in
creased from twenty-eight to forty-five and
one-haf years, and in the days of Queen
Elizabeth the English average was but TWEEN
ty years
DR.. Todd ascribes the great and progressive
change for the better to advanced medical
knowledge, better drainage and diet greater
cleanliness, and to vaccination and the use of
anaes Aetics, Quinme and the like. BE thinks
that auinine alone has added two years to the
average life OF civilized man. To these
agencies should be added the decrease Of war,
the more lenient laws snd the greater tenn
perance of our day.-ChicaGo Herald.
