HAVING A JOLLY TIME.

Superintendent Luckey's Message to His
Friends In Pittsburg.
"All o. K. and having jolly time" wrote
Superintendent George ]. Luckey from off
Sandy Hook, with no duels as yet among the
male members of the party" And why should
there be any duels when each gentleman has
two lovely young ladies under his charge, with
the prospects of having even more when one or
two of the sturdy representatives retire to their
staterooms. as they doubtless have ere this,
thereby deserting their fair charges who, of
course, will not succumb to the same malady-
seasickness-but will bestow their delightful
company upon such of the male sex as prove
when it left New York numbered II ladies and
6 gentlemen.

TELEGRAPH WIRES FOR TARGETS.

Stopped by Peculiar Cause.
CHICAGO, July 10-Every telegraph wire on
the Union Pacific Railway near Sidney, Neb,
was cut to-day, and all communication with the
West and Pacific Coast by this, the main route
of the Western Union Telegraph Company,
was completely severed from daylight this
morning until late this afternoon. The reason
for this state of things Is novel one. 1t seems
that lot OF cowboys who had been working on
a roundup near Sidney, visited that town last
night, and when they had exhausted all the
pleasures of the metropolis of Cheyenne
county, at daylight they mounted their ponies
and proceeded a few miles west of the town,
where they set up target against telegraph
pole.
They spent some time in hitting it from various
distances, but the mark proving too easy for
their skill, they turned their attention and
their six-shooiers toward the insulators and
wires, and only desIsted when they had knocked
of all the insulators in the vicinity and cut
every wire with their bullets.

TOO TOUCHY.

That class Of Kansas newspapers that
are making fun of the A. l.. Mason and
the proposition to restore the navigation
of the Missouri river are actuated either
by narrow jeaOusy or display sur
prising lack of comprehension of the needs
Of this section. We hope the enterprise
will succeed if it is practicable. If it fails,
the money spent in it is not wasted.-Fort
Scott Monitor.
You should not take little pleasantly
like that 50 seriously to heart. The
EAGLE has had as much to say on that
subject perhaps, as any other paper; not
that it did not desire the success of the
enterprise if success were possible, but
it estimated the chances of success for
the new enterprise by the failure of the
old ones. We looked at it this way: If
the old boats (many of them large and
first-lass) that piled the Missouri river
when there was little or no railroad
competition, with the expense Of con-
structiOn already met, and a sufficient
volume Of water for all practical pur-
poses-we say that if under such circum-
stances as those boats could not be kept
in service, how is it expected to do it
now when all the favorable conditions
enumerated above have given away to
the very reverse in every instance. 1t is
this view of the matter that has caused
this paper to look upon the later under
taking as a huge joke, though really
meant, no doubt, as a serious bluff. And
it has so far seen nothing to change its
estimate of the situation, present or
prospective.
We assure our solicitous Fort Scott CO.
temporary that we regret the changed
condition of affairs touching the navi-
cation of the rivers of the west as much
as it can; but regrets cannot restore
what has been lost, neither will bit of
good humor prevent such restoration.
