SLATE HEARD FROM.

The clerk of the school board, Mr..
Fegtley, was notified yesterday that one
car load of slate for blackboars for the
school buildings had arrived. This is the
first evidence in six months that Beardsly
s. Co. intended to fill the contract. The
company was wired the good news and
promises to send man here to put up the
blackboards very soon. One more car load
of slate is necessary and it is thought that
will arrive within ten days.

The EAGLE acknowledges a very pleas
ant visit from Messrs. Jesse Davies, Daniel
Hydorn, Gerge Mauvel, and u. A. Brindle
Of Laingsburg, Mich. They arrived here
several days ago with the intention of in
specting farming lands. Mr.. A. 5. Nelson,
who had become acquainted with the gentle
men in Michigan and with whom they
visited some of the finest farming land in
southern Kansas, sold three of them farms,
the fourth gentleman will not be pur-
chaser at present, being undecided as to
the choice of several fine farms. They are
all well known and successful farmers near
Laingsburg, and it is gratifying TO know
that such gentlemen are becoming inter
ested in Kansas.

threatening weather. 1t did not take
! fifty Thousand comrades to have a pleas
ant time. About seven hundred were
enough to tell of early day and late exper-
! fences.
Yesterday was scarcely favorable to re-
union. The muddy streets, damp, chilly
atmosphere, with drizzling rain and clouds
that threatened to run over with torrent
were not good conditions for a reunion.
But despite this fact there were seven hun
dred comrades in the city from the coun-
try and surrounding towns. They went
over to Riverside and found tents in abun-
dance, bands, drum corps, an abundance of
grub" and above all met each other, and
it was a time among friends. There was
an abundance of music, and everything
went along quite pleasantly. 1t was gen
orally agreed to dispense with the program
set up for the day and hope for clear
weather today, when the speech making
and barbecue could go ahead at full blast.
So the general committee at 1870 read the
following program for today:
On account of the rain yesterday the
opening exercises were postponed until to-
day.
At 9 o'clock this morning the reunion
will be formally opened with a rapid sa-
Lutte of forty-four guns.

There are six "Kansas tents" each 200
feet long and arranged for camp quite
cleverly and one tent of the
usual size off some two hundred
yards in the southwest part
of the park. 1t is known as the Missouri"
tent and in the bushes, and some of the
boys say the ''bushwhackers" occupy it.
The name might be suggestive of the
affair, but it forms part of the camp and
the boys in making the rounds don't fail
at least to look in.
The provisions being prepared yesterday
will supply ten thousand people today.
Should the weather be at all favorable
there will be at least this number at the
park today. The comrades of the great
southwest will be in this morning and the
trains will be crowded. The surrounding
country will come in in wagons. As in
Dictated by the program there is variety
enough for all and the day will long be
remembered.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Last night about o'clock the report of
pistol was heard coming from room in
the Douglas Avenue. An investigation
showed that Edward l.. Bowers, a cook at
that hotel, had attempted suicide by shoot
ing himself. City Physician Whitlock
was called and found the ball had entered
in the right breast and passed through
very near the surface on the opposite side.
1t was stated at midnight by the physi-
clan that he was sinking fast and the
chances scarcely in favor of recovery.

Eskimo Dogs.

During his wonderful sledge Journey
from Hudson bay to the Arctic ocean,
Frederick Schwatka had abundant op.
portunity to learn the habits and the
disposition of the Eskimo dog. He
started out with sixty of them, using
them to draw the sledges, and only
nineteen were alive when he returned
to Hudson bay The others had died,
mostly Of starvation. He says:
''They were through all this horrible
time perfect respecters of their human
allies, and the little children used to &c
among them and play with them by
pelting them over the back with their
toy whips; and yet the same dogs were
starving, and should one of them die his
comrades would eat him. l notice this
particularly, as some sensational writer's
have tried to make their readers believe
that the Eskimo dogs are liable to be-
come dangerous fellows, even to
powerfully built man, when simply
hungry, and to be worse than wild
beasts when ravenous. Any onslaught
of Eskimo dogs is unknown among the
northern natives where [ travelled.
at was pitiable in the extreme to see
their sufferings as they SO devotedly
helped us along, many of them up till
the very minute they had to be taken
from the harness and abandoned on the
road. AS they dropped out along the
way, we harnessed ourselves in their
places to the sledge traces, and it was
thus we were not compelled to leave
parts of our load

The English Bed Coats,

When, in 1851, the Duke of Wellington
asked Lord Stanhope, then war minister, as
to when the English army first wore red, he
was told that the custom dated from the time
of Charles IL The duke thought it was
earlier and Lord Maca1lay said that he was
right, and that the common iealth army
wore red. This was, however, not exactly
the case, and the abatement was wrong In
more than one respect Maj Hon. Harold
Dillon. in an article in Colburn's United Ser
vice Magazine, show when this color was
first adopted
As early as the campaign in Spain, in 1867,
in support of Peter the Cruel, and also in the
following reign Of Richard II, the English
soldier appears to have been in white with
red cross OF St George Oh his breast and
back At Agincourt, in 1915, thes English
archers are mentioned rs mostly wearing no
armor and some only 6oublets, and with their
hose loose, evidently to give them greater
freedom of action Caps OF boiled leather and
Of wicker work crossed with bands of iron
constituted their best head pieces 1t was
only after long campaign, or series of cam
paigns, that the ordinary soldier could pro-
vide himself with portions of defensive armor
During the Wars Of the Roses the badges
of the respective leaders would be the chief
distinctions in the armies, all speaking one
tongue and being Of one race. However in
1851, there is evidence Of red being adopted,
for q small number of men at least, when q
contingent for the army of the king maker,
the Earl Of Warwick was sent from Rye
dressed in red coats. In 1870 detachment
of fifteen men sent from Canterbury for the
Calais garrison, and others for London. were
supplied with red ''iakettis" of cloth at three
shillings a yard, having on them ''roses of

1855 instituted the Yeon,en of the Guard as
kind of body guard, and they may be taken
as the nucleus of the present standing army
Of England. They consisted of picked men,
and were armed oEe-half with bows, the |
other half with hand guns Their dress, as
1t still continues, was red.-Montreal Star.

"Uncle Toms Cabin" by Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, which began in the issue
of June l, 1851, and ended April 1, 1852
Before it was half finished it had created
such a sensation that the Jewels, of Bos-
ton, had it stereotyped, and Immediately
after it was completed in the paper it
was published in book form. In its ear

Innate HoggishneSS,

"Now just stand beside me a minute
and notice how much innate hoggish-
pess there is in human nature" said
conductor at the Boston and Maine sta
ton last night to Globe reporter. 1.-THE
5:45 train is just backing in. Watch"
The long row of empty cars slowly
rolled into the station. The large plat
form and the little platform between the
tracks were covered with men and
women waiting to get seats as soon as
the cars stopped. But as the speed of
the cars slackened somewhat a move
ment began all along the crowd. Men
lostled against each other in frantic at
tempts to board the moving cars. clutch
ed at the rails and stumbled all over the
steps, trying to Chamber aboard: and
when the cars came to full stop nearly
every one of them was almost filled with
men comfortably reading their papers.
As for the women. Well, one or two
brave but careless souls may have tried
to step upon car before it stopped, but
for the rest there was nothing left TO do
but wait while the men. unencumbered
with skirts and petticoats, jumped in
and got good seats.
Not only do the men steal all the
seats" remarked the conductor. but
they never think of Offering a woman
seat. Street-car etiquette sort of half
compels man not 10 allow lady to
stand, but in steam car she gets q seat
only when she is able to fight for it.
Some one viii get KILLED jumping On
those cars some day, and then perhaps
you will see a change in things. Women
have no divine rights to seats l suppose,
but they ought to be allowed fair start

About Pianos.


every few know how to take care OF
a piano." said a musical man to re-
porter who visited his warerooms.
GLOW do you do it here?" asked the
scribe.
ut is popular notion that pianos
ought to be kept very dry. Nothing
could be more fallacious. Pianos are
not nearly SO much affected by heat or
cold as they are by dryness, and, re-
versely, by dampness. 1t is not general
ly known that the sounding board, the
life of piano, is forced into the case
when it is made SO tightly that it bulges
up in the center, on the same principfe
es violin. The wood is supposed to be
as dry as possible, but, of course, it con-
tains some moisture, and gathers more
on damp days and in handling. Now,
when piano is put into an overheated,
dry room all this moisture is dried out,
and the board loses its shape and gets
habby and cracks. Even if it doesn't
crack the tone loses its resonance and
grows thin and tinny, the felt cloth and
leather used in the action dry up, and
the whole machine rattles."
''How do you prevent this?'
keep a growing plant in your room
and SO long as your plant thrives your
piano ought to, or else there is some
thing wrong with it. 1t should be noted
how much more water will have to be
poured into the flower pot in the room
where the DianO is than in any other
room. In Germany it is the practice &c
keep large vase or urn with sopping
wet sponge in it near or under the piano
and keep it moistened. This is kept up
all the time the fires are New York
Mail and Express.
