INDoRsEs KANsAN's PLAN.

BELLE PLANE. Kan, Feb. 4, 1890.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
DEAR SIR: I have read s.Kansan's'
article on the emergency rate question.
/ wish to say that Kansan writes like a
business man and philanthropist at the
same time. Nothing need be added ex-
cept what shall suggest, I think, to put
his ideas into practical shape, and in ten
days time we may be getting the benefits
of his practical ideas.
Let the Wichita bankers form an asso-
citation, if they have not one already.
Let them at once commence to loan
money to farmers on warehouse receipts
at per cent for one year. The farmer
to receive ten or twelve cents per bushel
advance, as might be agreed upon,
and at the same time give the farmer
the privilege of withdrawing his corn
at any time after three months, by pay
ing his interest, principle and reasonable
storage charges. Also let branch offices
be established at all stations where con-
siderable corn is likely to be handled.
providing lumber for cribs to be used as
needed at these stations. Elevators
would be needed only at central points,
like Wichita, and cribs might also do
there for the present.
After this there would seem to be only
one thing needed, which would be to ar
range to hypothecate these warehouse
receipts in st. Louis and elsewhere,
where money is plentiful at reasonable
rates. This would do away with the
necessity of all emergency rates; would
supply funds for the present, and keep
the grain where we need it to be fed to
hogs. The young stock is being produc-
ed at rapid rate.
Aansan certainly knows the reason for
the present scarcity of hogs, SO l will
say nothing on this point at present.
Let your board of trade or bankers take
hold of this at once.

The people have firm friend in the
WICHITA EAGLE. For some time it has
been dealing heavy blows at the wrongs
inflicted upon the masses through the
abuse of political power. As result it
has been cussed and discussed by all the
worn out old political hulks of the state,
and has not been intimidated by their
threats and rage. Its position has also
antagonized the money powers. This
the proud bird expected, but it was not
prepared TO receive long and detailed
endorsement of its course from banker
of the state. The fact that the banker
would endorse fight for the people and
against monied corporations would seem
to disprove the oft-repeated assertion
that corporations have no souls" How
ever, the EAGLE still hammers away and
the people look on to admire and ap-
plaud."

WINDOW VS.. THE PEOPLE.

The opinion among the silver men who
have been canvassing the committees of
both houses, is that the Window bill will
be amended so as to cut off the power of
the secretary OF the treasury to suspend
the purchase of bullion at any time,
Several pronounced friends of silver in
congress are said to have intimated that
that was the feature of the bill which
would deprive it of their votes, as it
would put too arbitrary power into the
hands of the secretary. 1t is thought to
be questionable whether Mr.. Window
would father the measure with that
feature taken out of it, and the president
would be governed as to his approval by
the secretary's Judgment in the matter.
This will hardly influence the action
of congress in dealing with the matter,
however. The known sentiment of the
people should be considered, in matters
that affect their material enterests.
rather than the wishes of any individual
no matter what position he occupies.
And since the popular demands in
regard to the silver question are known
to congress there is little doubt that its
action IN the premises will be conforred
thereto. Nor is there danger that the
president will interpose his official obiec-
tim to defeat measure framed and
enacted IL conformity with public senti-
ments

being blooming lass, somewhat younger

about to proceed with the ceremony, the
bridegroom suddenly said: "Wad ye bide

WRITTEN FOR THE prsrArcH.

Hundreds of years ago there stood a stately
old castle protected by high towers and
strong walls, and surrounded for miles and
miles by dense oak forest, in the midst Of
which lay clear, blue lake, whose smooth
surface had never been seen by human eve
Here the wild animals of the forest came to
quench their thirst, and in the morning the
little birds uudisturbed would sing their
songs of praise and gladness. Under the
blue waves the water nymphs had their fairy
home, and no one disputed their right to
this kingdom.
One bright sunny afternoon little Annette
ran down the castle steps and out into the
forest. "How lovely it is here" she cried;
''why must always stay so close to the
castle? Nurse says the forest is full OF wild
animals, which would tear me in pieces; but
am sure nothing very wicked could live
in such a beautiful place. So to-day, while
there is no one to watch me, shall walk
and walk, and gather these sweet flowers
until l am tired. Then tonight, when
mamma returns from her journey, 1 shall
tell her of my happy day in the forest."
So the little girl, wandering on in paths
which perhaps had never before been trod,
finally came to the blue lake whose crystal
waters reflected the skies, the green trees,
and little Annette herself Near the shore
of the lake, and rocked gently by the waves,
foated myriads of pure white water lilies
whose broad green leaves formed inviting
stepping stones to the delighted child. She
confidently sprang on to the smooth lily
pads which sank beneath the light weight
Annette floated on the surface for few mo-
ments and then disappeared. A little water
nymph peeping above the water looked on
in sstonishment, and as the child was sink
ing for the last time, the little elf caught

The same horse will carry Pjeshkoff from
one end of his journey to the other. This
animal is of the ordinary Cossack breed. 1t
was born in Siberia and is 13 years old, and
much under the average size. At Omsk it
was IN excellent condition, save that the
hair on its back had been worn away by the
constant friction of the saddle. In the
person OF Captain Pjeshkof it has only q
light weight to carry, that officer and ac-
coutrements, etc., bringing up the total
weight to about 1111 stone. The food of
the horse consists of oats and hay.
CaptGn Pjeshkoff has noted in the
dairy which he keeps the weight of
these consumed per diem, and has observed
that the appetite of his steed increases as
the distance travelled becomes greater. At
the start 8 pounds of oats and 10 pounds
OF hay per day were sufficient to satisfy it.
but by the time Omsk was reached 80
pounds Of the former commodity and IA
pounds OF the latter were required. As for
drink. Tor the greater portion Of the journey
thus far the horse has drunk no water in
the liquid form, being obliged to be con-
tent to quench its thirst by eating snow

greatest riding feat up to last year, when
Cornet Asayef rode from Lubeen, in Po-
land, to Paris. Captain Pjeshkoffs feat
will break the worlds record.

guiding of the chain and come to the lake,
which she can never leave without your per-
mission"
Alas cried the nymph, my mother
has forbidden me to leave the shore, and L
could not carry my chain to the castle"
Then shall carry it for you, said the
fairy, land tomorrow night / shall 60 to
the Counts home, and you will soon see his
daughter coming to you"
Ali day and night the nymph was busy
with her chain OF violets, and when the
fairy came it was ready. The woodland elf
sped away to the castle. where all was quiet
and still, and the bright moon threw a SO
light over the flowers and trees. The fairy
with her fowery chain crept through the
strong oaken doors and up the broad stair
case into Annette's room. and there she laid
the violets in the hand of the sleeping
child. The little girl rose at once, and
holding fast to the flowers, ran out into the
forest and onto the lake. The water nymph
stood waiting, and with a cry of joy re-
ceived her "sister" and carried her in her
arms beneath the moonlit waves. And An
nette never came back to tell of the water
nymph's home under the blue lake.

that might be called religious fanaticism,
and her sudden swerve in the direction of
the church is not the result Of one of those
erratic impulses to which women of high
strung emotional natures are subject. The
quiet, placid, almost bovine nature of this
famous woman has never been disturbed by
any violent esthetic emotions of any sort.
Her thoughts have turned toward relig-
ion and her convictions are apparently deep
and sincere. ''There is no suggestion of
parade in it at all" the letter says. "Mrs.
Iangtry's devotlons seems to be sudden
return or perhaps development of her early
religious training. People who know Mr.
Langtry we'll believe that the two will some
day come together again. He is a most
commonplace man. and it is not regarded as
by any means improbable that he will be
willing to become the husband of this
famous woman again in truth as we'll as in
name"
The sudden evidences of devotion on Mrs.
Langtry's part come very close upon the
heels of the hot, seething storm of religious
zeal which is sweeping over Sarah Bern
hardt's life. Only in her case the public is

Under the enterprise and fostering care of
earls ane limited liability companies, the
hanson cab has been transformed into
very smart and comfortable vehicle, but the
four-wheeler remains the shabby, shaky
concern which it has been time out of mind
The recent appearance of a vehicle like the
Paris coupe, though on finer lines. in the

come sight. 1t has all the smartness and
style of a private brougham, with some
novelties in the shape of steel
tension wheels and India rubber tires.

wooden kind. The India rubber tire is "
in. in thickness. Another feature is the ar
rangement for raising and lowering the
sashes. By means of what is termed the
silent grip" the window is locked at any
point, and held so firmly that there is no
rattling. Indeed, noise is reduced to n
minimum, and smoothness of travelling
raised to a maximum. The coupe, like the
hanson, only holds two persons, and in
order to secure lightness NO accommodation
is provided for luggage beyond a port
manteau, which can be placed on the box
beside the driver.
