A STRONG PROTEST.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
For many months past the city authori-
ties have been laying a system of sewer
pipes. This Is doubtless designed for the
benefit Of the peoples health, and, so far,
Is highly proper and laudible.
What gives warrant for this communi-
cation is the ruffiau treatment of one OF the
oldest, and a much respected citizen, who
suffered this morning, at the hands of those
in charge of this work and one who wears
the city's livery. That the city can and
ought to be able 10 condemn and take
zeus for the public use and
benefit. none will deny. That
it ought 10 be able to thus take it
should be after due process and only when
its valne had been properly appraised and
the owner compensated therefor.
This, at least, TO the ordinary lntelli-
gence would bs the fair way If the
writer is not misinfOrmed, such Is the
manner in other towns and cities. But in

A 5000 MISFIT.

The finance committee had a semi-pub-
lie and semi-private picnic yesterday figur-
ing on the settlement for the South Mar
ket street elevation. The employees want
their money and the contractor fails to
have enough coming to him to pay them.
The work calls upon the city for the small
and insignificant sum of LOO, and 81, 900
has already gone to the contractor, which
he claims has gone to the employees, but
the remaining 5000 is not enough to pay
out. The lap over, as far as can be dis
covered, calls for about 500. The en-
ployes, naturally, want their money, and
the finance committee thinks the city in
the hole for 81 900 by way of First ward
spring campaign purposes is enough to
devote to the single object and don't want
TO be called upon for the extra 800. The
bond of the contractor accepted by the
council shows the names of Colonel y. y.
English and William Greiffenstein.

The fair season is drawing near, and we
wish TO remind our friends, the sheep
breeders, that it is time they should com
mence fitting their sheep for the show
ring. Even if you are confident you have
no animals whose meritOTiOus features will
win YOU blue ribbons. it will do you no
harm to show them. ii you do not win
either the red or the white, you will dem
onstrate to your brother shepherds that
you are still in the business and breeding
in earnest, besides it will do you all good
to discuss both superior and inferior points
in your animals. The result will be en-
couragement to strive to excel another
year, and an interchange of ideas will make
the way more clear for YOU TO do so. Come
out and show the results of your care and
study.
There is no country better adapted TO the
sheep industry than Kansas, as has been
demonstrated time and again and is being
demonstrated every year. and it is not TO
the credit of the agricultural interests of
the state that it has been so much neglect
ed the past few years. Farmers and stock
raiSers are not consulting their own best
interests in sighting this important and
profitable industry.
Let there be such a showing made at the
southwestern Kansas exposition and fair
in this city a will encourage Others to
take hold of the sheep Industry and thus
aid in the advancement and material wei
fare of our section and state.

A TRUANT LETTER.

In 1885 Mrs. Mary Gates wrote a letter
from Kansas City, Mo-, to her sister in
Columbus, Ind, and mailed it at the for
mer place On Monday she received letter
from her sister acknowledging receipt of
the letter, that had just reached her. The
post marks on the envelope, which was re
turned to Mrs. Gates (who is now residing
in Wichita), show that the letter passed
through the offices at Grand Rapids, Mich,
and indianapolis and Columbus, Ind, be-
tween September and 6, inclusive. 1t
never reached the dead letter office, and
the question is where has it been all the
five years between the date of its original
mailing and its arrival at its final destina-
tion. 1t has been out long enough to have
made thirty trips around the world.

His methods, as exempliied in this case.
are those of bulldog. and are a disgrace
70 this or any other civilized community.
There are certainly men to be had who can
perform the duties of constable and yet
not lose the identity of their species. The
marshal, or whoever has authority in those
matters, should see TO this case at once
He will, if retained, get the city into
trouble 1t is hardly possible that this
BUckridge and the animal who made the
arrest are fair representatives of this fair
city's law making and executive branches
of government. If il were so, the EAGLE
should turn its searching eyes In their
direction and scream its scream till the
foul blots are wiped out. Individual pro-
perty owners have surely rights that the
corporation officials are bound TO respect.
Indignities were also heaped on Mrs.
Stewart, who took the place of her hus-
band who was dragged off. For the sake
of the good opinion entertained towards
this city the incident is much regretted by
one who was AN EYE WITNESS.

DISTINGUISHED CALLERS.

Hon. Sidney Clark and Judge Geary, of
Oklahoma City, and Judge Monroe, United
States commissioner at Purcell, and Mr.
Harvey, of Topeka, all of whom were at
tending yesterdays session of the United
States court, called on the EAGLE in a
body, yesterday morning. Mr. Clark who
at one time represented the entire state of
Kansas in congress, is now loyal Oklaho-
maian, and has been since the opening
day. In talking of territorial affairs all of
these gentlemen spoke hopefully of every
thing. There are, of course, the inevitable
local strifes, but these will disappear in
time when the new territory will soon
become a state and enter into the wars of
PROSPERITY

WILL. Rrsr-NfE pIrsINEss

The shop of the Wichita Cooperage COM
pany having burned down Sunday night,
the management of the concern has been
busy getting ready to resume work. Ar
rangements were completed yesterday for
opening up in the buildings used before,
going into the new quarters and work will
begin today. This will give room for if
teen hands, which will be better than
nothing, but only about half as many as
the business demands. 1t is thought new
buildings will be erected soon and all the
necessary room provided.

Flowers are used much more sensibly
than they used to be. The absurd fash
ion of loading a Young woman down
with a dozen or more huge bouquets,
every one measuring from fifteen TO
twenty inches across, is no longer in
vogue. The atrocious custom died Of
its own inappropriateness.
1t is possible even with the most deli
cate blossoms, which are the essence Of
grace and refinement, 10 be positively
vulgar. The large corsage bouquets
which were so popular for two or three
years seem 10 have vanished. not to re-
appear, from the very fact Of their over
size and overuse. This is true az well Of
the bunch of flowers for the street dress
as for the ball toilet. Flowers are not so
worn because Of their wide and exag-
gerated use when they got out Of the
hands Of women Of taste and refine
ment into those of the sort who bleach
their hair and daub their faces. The
fashionables now permit themselves only
a bunch Of violets in the sprlng. when a
craving for flowers cannot be stifed.
More coloring is used in funeral flow
ers than ever before. Set pieces arc no
longer used Loose flowers furnished by
members Of the family are the only ones
considered appropriate. This il a sensi-
bic departure Why should the stiff
waxen camellias and the tuberose be al
ways used, To some sensitive minds
these flower ar. so a1-C~Izfad VI - death
that, seen at any time, they only recall
a scene Of mourning. Flowers al fu-
neral are intended 10 console the living
with their loving touch ard gracious
sJftening Of the grim outlines. There is
more tenderness In the drOop Of one Il
France rose than in f1rtystif, iHodorous

CITY SCHOOLS BOOMING.

The first days enrolment of the city
schools showed 3,340 names or 200 more
than the first day of the last school year
The roll of the first month last year
showed 300 names and it is quite certain
the present year will make much better
showing
One of the striking features as stated by
Clerk Fegtley is that the suburb build
lngs are much more in demand than ever
before. The enrolment at Paramount is
nlnety-fve, or more than at any time last
year The same is true south and east.
This is supposed sufficient to set aside the
claim of some that there is no demand for
school buildings in the suburbs
