Violent Arguments by Chicago strikers

CHICAGO, April %. - The striking
carpenters created disturbances in sew
eraf portions of the city by using force
where argument was of no avail in IN

of settling the strike is as perplexing
now as when it was first ordered, Ii

PRENEDITATED KILLING.

Last night shortly after eight o'clock
three shots were fired in rapid succession
near the corner of Third and Lawrence.
The reports Immediately brought the
police to the spot who made a short in-
vestigation but no arrests were made The
circumstances as narrated by bystander
are substantially as follows: He did not
know the name of the man that did the
shooting but overheard him say as he
came from the house that he would make
short work of him if he could get his
hands on him. He was accompanied by
two confederates and the three went
to little shed where they evidently ex-
pected to find him. Two of them station
ed themselves at the entrance to prevent
any escape and the third one went inside
The object of their search was too smart
for them, however. and ran by the two
who were guarding the entrance, just
lodging a blow directed at his head with
a club.
He sprang on to the fence and from
there took refuge in a tree, where they
fired at him three times, the third shot
taking effect. He died few moments af-
the leg left room for the hope that life was
not extinct but that was pronounced by
physician present to be purely reflex &C
ton of the muscles. The man that did the
shooting picked up the carcass and fling
ing it to one of the men told him to have
it cleaned and put on ice for a customer
who had ordered dressed turkey for to-
days dinner

THE McGINTY TWISTER-

There was considerable talk yesterday
on the streets and elsewhere over the ac-
ton of the city council on the paving
question for the first alley south of Doug
las from Water to Fifth, and the first
alley east of Main from Douglas to Cen
trail The petitions asking for vitrified
brick to be used in paving alleys designated
as claimed by one of the interested proper
ty owners, over half the property that will
be assessed to pay for The improvement.
In the face of this on exhibit on burning
and quick pulse desire to make it Ft. Col
Inns or some other fort and only run out of
that because the wrong fellow had in the
lowest bid.
In the struggle to add an important in
dustry that would come without dona-
tons of any kind. and come as a result of
a demand for vitrifed brick, which is petit
toned far strongly and a granting of a
contract for the same large enough that
capital would feel safe in putting in a
plant. Some of the property owners con-
cerned in pavement as well as in the inter-
ests of the city, express the opinion that
the council should take interest enough in
Wichita to consider at least the situation
Notwithstanding. The scheme as origin
ally started to prevent the establishment
of a vitrified brick company was to award
contracts small. Only little at time so
not enough would come up to justify busi-
ness men any where in the Yitrifed
brick business to locate a plant. By
dribbing along the prohibition of an i'm
portant industry be forever successful and
should the dribs come little too think
conclude in violence to property owners
that brick was not good thing for alleys
anyhow. As expressed by one who has
given the question considerable attention
there is no doubt but that Waco avenue
would have been rounded up for pavement
when bids were opened for it had not it
been for the fact that that would have
been a contract large enough TO have
secured q home plant, home industry
with which to supply paving desired more
by the property owners, according to petit
tons, than the Fort Collins long, long
haul and high freight business

TWO THOUSAND MESSAGES DAILY

The statician has commenced figuring
again and estimates that the telephone ex-
change transmits nearly 2000 messages a
day. If it were possible TO make collec-
ton of these messages one would have a
curiosity. 1t is reported by the gentlemen
most interested in the matter that he pro-
posed over the wires, and received his yes
in spite of the induction. The wires are
daily laden with sufficient facts 10 fill a
dozen newspapers. Then comes the mes
sages that are not facts, aud the wires
carry truth and falsehooi with equal pre-
cision. The messages bearing the good
news of success follow Immediately the
dire intelligence Of failure. A birth is re-
ported in one instant aud death the next
And there are 1000 of these messages pass
ing from one 10 another daily.

ANOTHER TEXT

Yesterday afternoon the steamer Wich-
tia was given another test at the corner OF
Second and Market. The previous test
had been made when the pressure at the
plug was only sixty pounds, the usual
pressure, and the chief was anxious 70 see
it take water from the plug when the fire
pressure OF eighty-five pounds was on.
The engine at first threw one stream, the
pressure evidently making no material
difference, and then two streams against
one taken direct from the plug. The
steamer threw the two streams about forty
feet further than the water taken direct
from the plug could reach. The test was
pronounced quite satisfactory and the boys
had an hours fun washing up the hose
and putting il away. The steamer now
stands ready for service on the Instant.

A DYING HORSE,

Yesterday afternoon a gentleman living
in the north part of the city complained
first to the police and then to the sheriff
that an old horse. evidently in dying con-
dtion, was in front of his house. The
poor animal was unable to get away, and
having become valueless TO the owner was
deserted to die. The spectacle was so dis
tressing to the gentleman's wife, who is
sick. that he was trying to find the proper
authorities to remove it. Sheriff Cone re-
ported the case to Mr.. Stanley, who imme-
diately made an effort to secure an order
of court to have it removed by the police
If the Humane society had been organized
the whole matter could have been disposed
of in five minutes at the expense of the
owner of the animal, who would also have
been prosecuted.
The animal in its day had evidently been
valuable, but old age had made him less
valuable than wisp Of hay, and he was
left TO die from neglect. Still such things
can happen.

THE CHILDREN'S HOME.

Although 1t has become necessary for
the board of the Children's Home to ap-
peal publicly to its members and friends
for financial assistance it is safe to say
that the one appeal will suffice. for no one
can sit in comfort by their fireside feeling
that the home of the fatherless and
motherless is not well protected. A very
little from each one will tide the home
over and please come forward and give
that little with good grace. The follow
ing communication explains the situa-
ton:
To the Editor of the Eagle
Please allow the Children's Home board
a word through your columns. The city
has not made our appropriation for three

pad bills for rent, salaries, coal, etc star
ing US in the face. Will not members of
the association and honorary members
who have not paid 81 annual membership,
be willing to do SO at this time? If any
father or mother has not, or any society,
has not heretofore responded to our call
for help in the work for these little home
less ones, we would be very grateful indeed
for gifts of money just at this close time
from them, and may the FEATHER of the
