GETTING DOWN TO WORK.

The management of the Electric railway
company received word yesterday that
some of the iron poles to be used between
the tracks in the central part of the city
to support trolly wires would be shipped
by the last of the present week. They
were ordered from St. Louis foundry
and for the blocks on which will be double
tracks it will take something over one
hundred poles.
Some of the ties have been shipped and
are expected within few days. 1t will
take 49, 600 feet; most of the ties coming
from Arkansas. The wooden poles to be
used will be cedar stripped and twenty-five
and thirty feet high They will come from
Michigan, some of them having already
been shipped.
Work was commenced yesterday putting
down track on Topeka avenue, beginning
at Thirteenth street and will complete the
line to the packing houses. This will place
the central part of the city a half mile
nearer the stock yards than the
present tracks, and as soon as it is COM
plete the line now being used from Thir-
teenth street and Topeka avenue to the
stockyards will be abandoned; rails, ties,
poles and wire taken up and used else
where.
It is feared there will be some delay ow-
ing to lack of ties, but it is proposed to
rush things along as rapidly as possible.
The management is now figuring on cleo
trical machinery. A car load of trolly
wire was ordered some time ago and is eX-
pected to be on hand within ten days. In
a few days the contract for electrical ma
chinery will be closed

wICHITA's NEW COURT BILL.
For Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand Poop

In another column is printed the new
federal court bill for Wichita. in full,
as introduced by Judge Peters, our rep
resentative Mr. Buchanan OF New Jersey,
from the committee on Judiciary in making
his report, which we also print, sets up a
stronger case than was made by the
EAGLE. He says, that with Leavenworth
on the east line of the state and Topeka
only fifty-seven miles away from it. that
there is no question that terms of both
the district and circuit court should be
held at Wichita, to which point he says
there are tributary a population of four
hundred and fifty thousand people. Mr.
Buchanan is such an adept at telling the
truth that if New Jersey should ever go
back on him he will find an opening
on the EAGLE. 1t has only been the
narrowest kink of politics backed by the
smallest kind of envy that has prevented
two annual terms of court at Wichita in
the past. 1t has been simply outrageous
to pull all the litigants and their witnesses
from this section of the state off 200 and
300 miles only that the very politicians of
the old pocket might be satisfied. But the
bar Of Southern Kansas had got enough Of
1t and they arose as one man and de-
manded court nearer home. Hon. Geo.
L. Douglas, who was sent on to take the
petitions of the Southern Kansas bar and
to lay the matter before the Kansas dele
cation and who transmits us the bill and
report which we print elsewhere in this
issue, writes that he hopes the matter viii
be equally advanced in the senate soon.
So does everybody else.

A RUNAWAY.

Last night at l o'clock single buggy
containing a man came south on Main
street After passing First street the horse
started TO run and by the time Douglas
was reached he was going at a lively rate.
The buggy struck the old pipe lying across
the street. throwing tbs occupant ten feet
in the air. The buggy naturally ran from
nnder him and he fell on the soft dirt
heaped up on the south side of the trench.
The horse then ran east on Douglas ave-
nue., clearing all the distractions,
and when last seen was beyond
the Carey hotel, making good time for
College Hill. The buggy or horse did not
seem to be at all injured. The police and
several passersby ran to the man expecting
to find him seriously hurt but on exam
ination no injury could be found He was
pretty full, and unless he received some
internal injury has taken advantage of
that special providence so often spoken Of.
No one knew his name or the team, and he
was too much dazed to tell anything eN-
cept the number of his room, where he
was taken DR. Whitloci was summoned
and expressed the opinion that the man
has sustained no injury beyond a shock,
which he did not think would be serious.

DOUGLAS AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS.

Twenty-Five teams and about sixty men
are at work on the south side of Douglas
avenue between Wichita and Main streets

ment The force will be increased in a
few days and the work rushed along
They will grade out to Washington ave-
nue. on the south side, follow up with the
pavement as closely as possible, and come
back to Wichita street on the north side.
Mr. r. +. Wilson, who has the contract
for putting down the pavement, said yes
terday that he expected to get the work
done within ninety days. The roller to be
used in preparing the street for the founda-
ton was shipped yesterday from st. Louis
and will be on hand by the last of the
week. Some of the rock foundation ar
rived yesterday, coming from Au-
gusta Six car loads of jasperite
were shipped yesterday. Some of the

ment is commencing to put in an appear
ance 1t is expected there viii be some
trouble to get the ground on the north
side of the avenue where the water mains
are being put in sold enough for the pave
ment. The gumbo is said to be rather
for contractors to handle and the
trench that admits the water main will be
filled with water in the hope that it viii
cause the dirt to become solid. The water
have only about two more blocks
OF main to pnt down when they viii be
ready to fill in the trench along the avenue.

The Eagle is the American Bird of free

pose they take Lyon around in a cage

The Eagle is eversomuch better than the
Lyon, he is high flyer and can soar and
the Lyon can't soar bit.
Eagles live on snakes and any thing else
they can get. They take a snake in their
feet and fly up ever so high and then drop
the snake on big fat stone andit makes
him sick. Our old Tabby cat has got Kit
tens and when she ate up the canary Bird
Sister Jane was thrashing her with her
shoe when her Beau come and she told him
she was diverting herself, but the Old cat
dident seem to like it. There are Grows,
Blue Jays, Pidgeons, Chippies, Swans,
Boboiinks, black Birds and many other
kinds that don't know the names of.
Once a Turtle wanted to learn TO fly, so

REPORT OF COMMITTEE LOST.

Some of the members of the Real Estate
exchange are commencing to hunt around
to find out what has become of the move
ment to have conformity of names for the
streets a committee of the exchange
some months ago prepared a report, at a
cost of considerable labor, having one
name for one street, where in some in
stances they have two and three, and the
association adopted the report and gave it
over to the tender mercies of the council.
1t was submitted few days ago before
the recent shuttle and it is feared the re
port was lost.
Some of the members have been looking
the matter up and Mr.. Coffin, of the coun-
Gil, has promised to look around and try
and get the report and bring it before the
council When the time comes for its
consideration it is thought the association
will take some interest in the matter and
urge its adoption.

FIGHT OVER POLES.

The council committee on telegraph and
telephones invited the Western Union TO
remove somes poles on North Main street
yesterday, but the poles were yet standing
at an early hour this morning. 1t Is al
legged the street commissioner Is liable to
get up that way with his little ak in a few
DAYS. and without interference the poles
may fall.
While the company is not at present
using two of the poles it is claimed that
they will be needed IN a short time, and TO
cut them down would necessitate the cree
ton Of more very soon. 1t is not known
what will be done in the event the street
commissioner attempts TO cut'them down.
but some legal fighting, 1t is believed, will
be done.
