cess he desires and richly deserves, by
the change he is about to make.

Severe Accident.

Last Thursday j. E. Breckenridge,
while unloading dirt on the road near
his home, in the town of Watertown,
was run over by his wagon, the team
having become frightened by little

parasol. Mr. Breckenridge was stand

THAT CITY BUILDING CONTRACT.

The people of this city are watchingvery
closely what looks like queer manipula-
lions and strange and unheard of PROPOSE
tions touching the contract for the city
building. They expect the council to do
its duty, its whole but its simple duty.
The taxpayers at present are in no humor
to permit of any tri1ing. The contractor
agreed to erect the building of a certain
kind of stone for price stated in his con-
tract. The sample of stone was agreed
upon and the sum of the cost put in plain
words and figures. All the contractor has
to do is to fulfill his agreement or in fail
ing to do so pay the damages nominated in
his voluntary bond. The whole matter Is
a very simple one and is understood by
everybody. If he can't get the stone with
which he contracted to construct, that
is not the fault of anybody but
himself 1t is surely not the fault
of the people whose servants agreed to pay,
in all good faith, stipulated amount for
a specified work. If anything different is
now done the people viii want an explana-
ton, and it will have to be very clear eX-
PLANTATION. ANY talk of damages by the
contractor is all pure monkey business,
and is open TO the grave suspicion of Ill
terror motives and side understandings
with the officials 1t was the business of
the city authorities, in the first place, to
determine the character of material and
to see to it that it was good, and satisfac-
tory in all particulars, and then to let the
contract under a good anda sufficient bond,
and then to stand from under until the
time for acceptance came. It's too late
now for either the city authorities or the
contractor to plead ignorance. Rather
than that the authorities might far better
resign, and the contractor make good the
damage done to the interests of the city, as
provided for in his bond. About all this
matter the people will not stand any bad
faith.
We are not going into the details of this
matter now. tits unnecessary. It Is COM
mon street talk The people know that
the contractor, in his original bid, only
made s., 800 difference between the Grouse
creek and the Augusta stone, and $1,000
between the Grouse creek stone and the
Alma stone, and now he is proposing to
ask, it is said, Sl3, 200 extra to change, or a
sum more than sufficient to pay for the de-
livery of the entire amount of stone neces-
sary to put up the building, and that, too,
after g, 200 has been in some way mys-
FERROUS to the people, allowed extra on the
foundation, which ought TO cost little, If
any, more than this extra amount allowed.
These are the facts as shown by the EAGLES
files and doubtless are approximately cor
rect. If they are correct the city council
would do well to make an explanation at
their next meeting, for that such are the
facts, we are convinced, is the understand
ing of the whole matter by the people. To
say less than this would not satisfy the
honest people of the community, who look
to this paper for declaration of their con-
victions and conclusions, and to say more
we hope willno be found necessary.

ANOTHER FISH STORY.

Mr.. Arthur Allen returned from short
visit to Utah yesterday. He took in Salt
Lake City, Ogden and Provo, and says if
those towns ever had boom the bottom
has fallen out and remains out at the pres
ent date He says that Lev. Hamilton
will reach Wichita in a few days and may
try to spring some great scheme on the
natives He insists there is no reason for
a city over in the desert, and until there is
a great change in the physical conditions
never will be. The only thing inviting
was the fishing around Provo where, as he
tells with an earnest look, that the outfit
consists of number of hooks on wire
and just throw the apparatus in, jerk it
out with two and three fish per hook. Joe
Houston says that when hepassed through
Provo in ~ it was just that way, but he
had suspected that the Mormons had made
inroadS on the crop since that time.

WICHITA HOSPITAL.
THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED-A CHAR
TABLE INSTITUTION OPEN
TO ALL C0MERS.
The First Hospital Of the City-Room for
Fifty Patients-School for Training
Nurses-Library- -Children's
Ward Elegant and
Cosy Rooms for
the Sick.

By those unfamiliar with such institu-
tons a hospital is regarded with more or
less dread, and the sick who are sheltered
and cared for within its walls are consid-
cred unfortunate. Such feelings are
doubtless quite justifable in many in
stances, but a visitor to the Wichita hos
pitaI must necessarily get quite different
idea. In the first place the building was
erected for a hospital and every device
known to modern architecture was re
sorted to in order to make it suitable in all
particulars for the care and convenience of
invaIids. Its situation was also fixed upon
with a view Of making it a first class hos
pital and its hygenic surroundings are all
that could be desired. If there is healthy
spot in the Arkansas valley the Wichita
hospital is located there. From the upper
galleries a bird's-eye view may be had of
