------------------------ q Birdseye Wow of the World.

There Is a wide spread demand by all readers and students for a work that shall furnish compactly and attract lively all the essential facts and statis- tics of the different regions of the world |, and the races that inhabit them. All this information has been industriously sought, carefully tested and proved, and is brilliantly told in one handy and handsome volume, by Onesime Reclus, the Famous French geographer and ssvant.
 The author has really succeeded to Il surprising degree in accomplishing his purpose. It is just what its title repre- sents it to be-a look all around the world--but it is the world seen through eyes of the target intelligence and de- scribed with inimitable vigor, freshness and picturesque grace, combined with studious and painstaking accuracy. The result Is the story of the world. The more the volume IS looked into the greater Is the sense 0f its wide scope and its masterly preparation. Attract i've reading for the family gathered around the evening lamp, it is also 3 handy book for immediate reference for the busy man who would illuminate his daily news with more accurate m. formation
 In brief, great deal of hard work painstaking and sill have gone into the preparation of this volume, which is no catch-penny concern, presenting huddled mass of pitch-forked facts to the innocent reader under the protense of encyclopedia information. It is what it proiesses to be, & short view of all the countries under the sun, SO ar ranged and digested that great deal of interesting and useful knowledge is packed handily in limited space. While child would never tire of the fascination of the facts illuminated by 37I illustrations, of which go are full page, the most thoroughly read man will find on every page something the importance of which he never SO fully realized as when geographical expert presents it with scientific effect iu attractive phraseology. The man who prepared this work is a genins in such effort. There are no weak spots in it. The publishers have done their best for the mechanical part of the work and their enterprise leaves noth- ing to be desired in that respect.
 The J. Dewing Company, S13 Ma rket St., San Francisco, Cal, are the sole agents for the work this side of the Rocky Mountains, and all applications for agenries should be addressed 10 them.

w1ea1Ns' MAP AND ANTHONY.

The Anthony Journal takes umbrage
at Prof. Virgins, the map maker. be-
cause he failed to give that town such
prominence on his Oklahoma map as he
gave Wichita. 1t is perhaps not the
EAGLES say, as it is not its quarrel, but
we venture to suggest that the map as it
is, is practically correct representation
of Wichita's situation in reference to the
Oklahoma country and her railroad con-
nections Herewith. By consulting the
said map it will be seen that Anthony
appears on one of the main lines Of rail
road leading from this city into Okla
boma, and Immediately between this
city and the western portion of the ter
ritory named. We will drop the fur
ther hint to our e. C. that if it desires
more conspicuous showing on an Okla
homa map, if it will engage Prof. W. or
any one else it chooses to make draft
of such an one, it is its privilege to do so,
and to make Anthony the center of at
traction thereon as to railroads and 9TH
erwise, if he can, and all the EAGLE
asks is that it shall have bid for the
the lithographing and printing, with the
promise that that feature of it shall be
as faithfully executed as 1t was on the
Virgins map at which the Journal

GROWTH OF THE LIVE STOCK TRADE

A representative of the Globe-Demo-
crat interviewed a number of citizens of
that place in reference to the live stock
question that is occupying such prom
inent place in public attention just now.
We produce herewith the views, in part,
of Mr.. Michael McEnnis, winch will be
read with interest, giving as it does an
insight into the changed and changing
condition of that important interest.
Mr.. MeEnnis says:
1.-THE meat packing industry of this
country has experienced great change
during the last few years, and the in
creased packing, instead of going to the
large cities, is being divided among the
samller ones convenient to the source of
supply. Mr.. Armour early saw this i'm
pending change, but thought it could be
averted, and stoutly maintained that he
would never pack a pound of meat out
side of Chicago. The growth of the trade,
however, convinced him of the neces-
sity of changing this policy, and we now
see him packing heavily at other points
nc CCil DS independently
speculation, and the packing
product Of Chicago is slowly
diminishing. The heavy packers
Of indianapolis and Louisville have
adopted the same policy, while the old
houses of Baltimore have departed from
old-time custem so far as to arrange
with country packers to kill stock for
them. st. Louis is one of the last points
to recognize this departure from the old
line of business. With a largely in
creased and rapidly growing distribut-
ing trade, she has found it necessary to
call on Chicago to supply the demand.
Now, however, with the erection OF
large house at Wichita, in purely st.
Louis territory, by Francis Whitaker &
Sons, this will be changed; Chicago will
be called on less frequently, and st.
Louis trade will be increased! by large

THE MILK IN THE COCoANUT

Mr.. L. +. West, secretary of the Kan
sas National Loan Co., of Wichita and
New York, who returned short time
ago from business trip east, told the
writer that while east he had CONVEX
sation with member of a prominent
monied corporation. and who makes
periodic visits to the west on business,
In which the said gentleman gave him
the substance Of an interview he had
while on his last trip to this state, at
Salina, with the notorious Frank Wilke-
son in regard TO the false and defama-
tory statements made by him and pub
lished in the New York Times and other
eastern papers. During the interview
the question was asked Wilkeson why.
in view of the fact that he owned or
controlled valuable farm near Salina
from which he had harvested liberal
crops of corn and other products
for the past four or five years, including
last year, he should and did write such
letters for publication in the east as he
had, in which he stated positively that
corn and other cereal crops cannot be
raised here; that the ''Great American
Desert was something more than a
fancy, that it is reality and is good for
nothing as farming country? Wilke-
sons reply was that while it was true, as
stated. that he had secured uniform good
crops from his farm, and that it was not
an exception, yet it was money to him
to write such letters, that he got big pay
for that work, though from whom he
declined to say.
This Is but an admission on Wilkeson's
part of what has been an open secret
ever since his misrepresentation Were
first given publicity, because everybody
in this state and out of it who is at all
conversant with the facts knew that
there must be some sinister prompting
in the absence of foundation of fact for
such statements as the Saline faisifier
gave to the public through the venal
press Of the east.
Mr.. West also informs US that while
in New York City he had conversations
with acquaintance connected some of
the leading papers there on this subject,
more than one of whom told him
that the papers they represent, one
of than the Herald, have had repeated
offe-s to publish just such articles as
Wilkeson furnished the Times. and that
Ii would have been TO the imme diate
pecuniary interest of those papers to
publish them but they declined, mainly
on the ground that their publication was
attempted to be procured for consid-
Grafton, which indicated clearly that
their object was not simply to give the
public gratuitous information
The only question remaining of public
interest, since the falsehoods have been
exposed and scheme thwarted, is who
are the parties in interest that procured
the writing of the letters and their publ
cation? This Is only a matter of surnlise
so far, but it will crop out sooner. or
later

THE MIRAGE IN THE DESERT.

Inc sunbeams dance upon the desert
Like demons holding orgies dire;
IAe earth is cracked and parched and
barren,
The hot winds blanch like waves of fire.
NO nabbling brook or winding river
lands
The air above tears out its vitals,
Or It's swallowed by the thirsty sands.
Here falls no cheering dew from heaven:
Here grows no tree or flower of spring;
The cactus and wild sage are whitening;
No birds fit through the air and sing.
And cen the desert sands are weary,
And oft times rise to fly away
And seek along some stream or mountain
Some cooling shade to rest day.
Here greets the ear no sound or music
Save coyotes piercing dismal howls:
And buzzards, loud their death wings
Tapping,
Are lowering round like graveyard
There once was here an exile wandering,
That ventured through this cherries
land,
While looking toward the broad Pacific
10 garner on its golden strand.
Lo! what is that on his horizon,
That makes his wearied soul rejoice,
And waving to him onward, onwardp'
as Win d siren uNStlC SOiCO!
Seel towering forests loom before him,
And by them murmuring rivers glide,
And ships sail on the placid waters,
And cities rise on every side!
"Hurrah! hurrah" the exile shouted,
And throwing high his cap in air,
He forward rushes toward the phantom,
Like Greeks of old for laurels fair;
And onward, onward, Ger the mesa
He seeks to reach this magic goal,
When, 10! at once the scene has vanished;
And thirst and hunger gnaw his soul.
Twas but mirage Years rolled onward;
And cowboys riding DER this spot
Here found his bones, still scattered
bleaching
His name had long since been forgot
Here, too, We're lying bones Of bison
That rushed to drink the phantom stream;
They glisten in the desert moonlight.
The phantom's paths sphinx's dream.
The mirage still lures in the desert,
Though all unknown to human ken;
Yet everywhere a reckoning mirage
Still lures the restless souls of men,
And wealth and fame paint phantom pic
lures
AS prizes in ambitions race;
Though endless night would bar the path
way,
The longing soul still dares the chase.

What IL Costs.

We wish the papers would quit reiter-
ating the assertion that the legislature
costs the state 500 a day, ana go to

the house, and 40 of the senate. at 50 a
day, making $495 in all Then, add
about dozen delegates from morgan
lied counties. who receive regular pay
for being in the way. The speaker gets
double pay and the lieutenant governor
s6 a day, max ing the sum Of S54- The
secretary of the senate and the chief
clerk get each s. day. Then there are
about 100 other employees, such as ser
geant-at-arms. doorkeepers, postmasters,
pages, and host of assistant and sub
ordinate clerks. running well up to an
other hundred, at So day. There Is a
big bill of printing for each day, the

and innumerable Miscellaneous expenses

the measure thus compelling, as they
supposed, recognition and favor
able action thereon by the con-
yention when it should have been
held, there seems to be no doubt. But
why such should have been the case is
an enigma. Such a proposition was for
eign to the prerogatives of the legisla-
ture and had no right to be entertained
for moment. A constitutional con-
ventlon as such would represent the peo-
pie of the whole state in their sovereign
capacity and would not suffer itself to
be handicapped by any such restrictions
attempted to be placed upon it by the
legislature, because it would be itself, a
law making body in higher sense than
the legislature.
Had the bill calling the convention
been passed and the convention finally
held it would no more have been infiu-
enced by the provision in regard to wo-
man suffrage than it would by that other
super arrogant proviso that was adopted
touching the question of prohibition,
aside from what they should know to
be the sense of a decided majority of the
people on the subject. If it were the
province of the legislature to give spe-
cific directions in such matters it might
as well supercede the convention alto
gether and do the work of framing
new constitution itself.
But it is useless to discuss these ques-
tons, now that the convention PROPOSE
ton is off, and it is referred to because
the actions mentioned seemed TO us to
be rather extraordinary.

The Coldwater Review of last Friday
was a boom edition of the right sort.
Besides containing volumes of informa-
ton in regard to the business and pros
poets of that town and the agricultural
interests and outlook of the county, it
was embellished with number of very
fine views of public and private build
ings of Coldwater suburban views and
farm scenes. 1t was a'highly creditable
effort on the part of the publishers OF
the Review and complimentary to the
thrift and enterprise of the community
that sustainS it.
