Practice speaks louder than words.
While they say that culyert Is to
carry water under road. then practice
says that it is only little bridge over
q hole. Is proof wanted? Every heavy
rain-storm washes out innumerable cul-
verts-perhaps the very same that were
washed out in the same way two or
three years ago. And they will be
washed ont again IN little while. And
why? Because when they are built no
end OF pains are taken with the top and
sides, while the bed on which the water
is to flow is left just Us the man with
the hoe or shovel dressed it
It's dry weather. Nobody thinks it
worth while to prepare way for the
water which will come in the spring or
fall. When . smart rain comes and
fills the ditch, little stream struggles
along the broad, fiat bottom Of the cul-
vert. 1t is spread out in q wide sheet.
The leaves it has brought along with it
are piled up here and there, and it

Bark Lice Wash.

The following wash for bark lice and
worms on apple and pear trees is said
by Insect Life to be effective: Five
pounds each of p'.tash and lard dissolved
in five gallons of boiling water; ono
peck Of good stone lime Stacked in five
gallons of boiling water; while hot mix
with the potash and lard. The above
mixture can be kept in an old tub or
barrel for any length of time. To use,
add to each gallon two gallons Of boil
ing water and willie hot apply to trunk
and large limbs with an old broom. II
this mixture is applied to trees while
young. and Used year after year, the
bark Of tho tree will be kept as smooth
as glass and sll bark lice and bo,ers

SHERIFF RUFUS CONE.

Rufus Cone was sworn IN as sheriff yes

vice W. W. Hays, whose term expired.
Rufus makes the fourth Democratic sher
if the county has had. or that the Demo-
Gratis have elected in off years. but with
all of whom the relations OF the EAGLE
have been very pleasant. This paper
made hard and an earnest fight for the
nominee of its party and would have
elected him had it been within the power
of newspaper TO have done so. But the
fates and votes were against US. Rufus
polled upwards of two thousand Republi-
can votes. To say nothing Of the disaffec-
ton in the ranks of the party Rufe
was undoubtedly personally popular and
we expect him to make a good
and efficient officers. AS long as we can't
have Republican and as under limita-
tion our worthy friend and popular Of
fetal must deliver up the keys, and as we
must have a Democrat we don't know
where we could GO 10 find Democrat that
would better suit us. Energetic, level
headed, fearless and untiring, he certainly
possesses the particular qualifications
which 60 TO make up an efficient sheriff

THAT RED-HEADED EDITOR.

George w. Martin came down from
Kansas City, Kansas, as delegate to the
State Immigration convention, 10 see what
the metropolis Of Kansas looks like. He
found everything showed under, streets
comparatively deserted and the city storm
ridden generally, for all of which we are
sorry enough. 1t was the worst storm in
years effectually holeing up the oldest in
habitant There is, however. the copsola-
ton that George will get back home with
out having been ratified. 1t is very trying
on sanguine temperament of optomistic
tendencies to be rushed from the quiet
precincts of Missouri river town into the
heart throbing center of a great state, into
city whose live pulsations have been the
inspiration OF the Central Commonwealth
for decade. Had he struck the place as
going at an ordinary gait his head would
nave blszed in such unwanted brilliancy
as would have rendered the electric night
circuit useless. We don't know how a
public man could have managed TO live 30
long in Kansas and hot have seen Wichita
but George, probably, had read about
that chap who advised his friends to see
Naples and die-with envy and the edi-
tor OF the Gazette, or for that matter, no
other man living in a town alive with
joints, is just prepared for the obituary
ect. George Of course has missed the
joints, that is he has failed to find them,
or, we mean, rather. he has not been able
to note the existence Of those places, which
have made resubmission possible and caus-
ed it TO be talked; yet, We trust, in the in-
tervals and during the recesses Of the con-
ventiou that the boys viii treat him kind
", not only for his own sake, and out Of
the sympathy that our people entertain
generally for all people who live in sight
Of Missouri, but for the reason that be is a
stranger who has for twenty-seyen years
stood up and by the light OF his OWL coun-
tenancs as reflected IL the columns Ct his

BOARD OF TRADE.

The old board of directors of the board
of trade held their last meeting yesterday
afternoon, the election OF new board &C.
curing Thursday evening, that being the
annual meeting of stockholders. As far as
possible the present board have been en-
deavoriug to clear the decks for anything
which might happen, and with the desire
to have the complicated affairs of the
board so far as possible in shape that a
board of new men might handle them
without confusion, as some Of the direc-
tors are anxious to be relieved from the
responsibility, at least for year or two.
To our mind such a movement should not
be permitted il the thing can be prevented
by those who have a voice in the election,
and for reasons which we can not set forth
here for their great number. 4 great ma
jority, at least, of the present board OF
directors can afford 10 give the afternoon
OF every Monday for another year. IL will
soon slip around, and there will be matters
arise which will not only need their ex-
perience and their pluck. but their capital
also. We hope. therefore. that every
stakeholder who is entitled TO vote-and
all who have paid up their initiation fee
in full are-will be on hand and see that
all, or tina. at least great majority, of the
present directory are held 70 the work for
at least another year. No break can be
afforded
