MODERN wooDMEN OF AMERICA.

NJ. A. Carvin returned yesterday morn
ing from Springfield, Ills, where he has
been in attendance to the head camp of
the Modern Woodmen Of America. The
object of the meeting was to revise the
fundamental laws, and elect officers for
the ensuing term. The order is but eight
years old and has a membership of 1900.
During the past year it has been held back
because of the trouble between head Off
GERS Root and Mckinney The revision
of the laws places the board of directors,
which consists of five members, at the
head of business affairs of the order instead
of the head consul having full power. At
the meeting of the head camp the incom-
ing board of directors were instructed to
fully investigate the trouble between Root
and Mckinney, and if either were found
guilty of misconduct, to punish to the full
extent of the law.
The head camp adjourned with the uni
versal feeling that they have one ofthe best
fraternal insurance associations, and with
the determination that each member would
go to work for the building upof the order.
The characteristic Kansas modesty was
displayed in securing the election of J. e.
johnson, of Peabody, as one of the board
of directors, and Frank II. Swallow, of
Valley Falls, present state medical direc-
tor of the A. o. L. w, as head medical
examiner, two of the most important Off
ces in the order

THE DOUBLE STOP ORDINANCE.

The management of the electric railway
is not favorable to the proposed ordinance
requiring a stop in the central portion of
town before crossing any street, and 1T Is
claimed that the rule with transit COM
panies in cities is to stop cars just after
crossing streets to accommodate the pub
lie, this taking the car off the cross street
away from travel and at the same time
accommodating the public using the cars.
This being the rule, a stop just before
coming to the cross street would necessi-
tate two stops at every street and call for
much delay and extra demand on machin-
cry, as the most expensive thing III the
motion of a car is to start it.
The management claims that the com
pany is compelled to settle all damages to
person and property and not the city, and
and hence from soulless money stand
point will probably never run over any
one for fun-having no scientific, barbar
Gus feelings to crafty in the line of the
recent frican expose. and if they would
be extremely delighted to run over people,
wonld be such a costly experiment as TO
materially cut down dividends before very
much practiced.
The proposed ordinance is now in thu
hands of the railroad committee and will
likely be reported at the next regular
ypaetipU

TENNIS CLUB RESOLUTIONS.

The Lawrence Avenue Tennis club, at a
special meeting yesterday, adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas, The angel of death has been
permitted to enter the home of Mr.. w. A
Thomas and take therefrom his eldest and
beloved son. Burr. be it unanimously re-
solved by the members of the Lawrence
Avenue Tennis club of Wichita:
That, while we bow in submission to the
will of Him who doeth all things well, we
feel deep sorrow over the loss of our be-
loved member, who has been taken from
us in the full vigor of youth and at time
when his outlook upon life was Undimmed
by any cloud.
That while we believe had he recovered
and remained with us his influence
through life would have been indeed help
full and uplifting, we also believe, from the
truStful spirit manifested till the last,
that he has now joined the band of sweet
singers in heaven and will be one of those
to greet us when we reach the other shore.
That we tender 10 the family and friends
of the deceased our heartfelt sympathy in
this hour of their great bereavement.
That copy of these resolutions be pre-
scented to the parents of the deceased, that
tney be placed upon the minutes of the
club, and that they be published in the

A SLICE OF THE PAVING BONDS.

The approved estimates on the cross
street paving in favor of Col. Jocelyn
amount TO So 000. and the council having
decided to make some effort to pay 10 the
extent of the estimates, the bonds for same
will be issued by the council, offered to
Splitter & Co., and in the event they don't
reply with the cash the bonds will be de-
liyered to Col Jocelyn. The Splitter &
Co. purchase of s262, 900 bonds includes the
cross street paving and while the company
purchasing the bonds has been excruciat-
ingly slow and vexing it is not considered
a good plan TO deliver the bonds to Col
Jocelyn until Splitter & Co have been
offered the bonds. That company has
been decidedly smart in taking unto itself
the task of printing the bonds, which has
of itself Consumed some months, but in
the Jocelyn bonds the bonds viii be print
ed by the city in order TO have them ready
before the end of the present century.

early June. Surely the situation must be
encouraging to our farmers The portion
of the crop that will be within the scope of
the Wichita market will aggregate mil
lions of bushels, great many millions of
bushels. The output for the ten nearest
counties cannot, with any kind of favor
able or even average spring. fall short of
from eighteen to twenty million bushels.
This is allowing for 10 per cent loss in a
harvest of eighteen bushels to the acre.
Let Wichita get a move on herself, and
get it Immediately.

"A WORD TO THE WISE. ETC"

The city council is warned that it wants
to go slow on that Douglas avenue paving
business. Every member knows, un-
mistakably, the sentiment of the property
owners along the avenue, as they do the
sentiment and judgment of the city, and
there is too much hard cash involved to
permit of any but the most straightfor-
ward action. 1t is not too late for guaran
tees and indemnifying bonds, and in any
and all events, upon the other hand, it is
too early TO attempt any game of robbery.
The company represents itself through
its president to be worth four millions
Of money. so nobody is suffering
at the other end of the
line. All this end, which is composed
of honest people, wants is what they were
promised for which they will be perfectly
willing to pay just what they agreed
There is not, and there can be, no misun-
derstanding, anywhere, as Mr.. Drake,
himself, authorized the EAGLE to say that
no pay would be asked for until those who
are most directly interested and who were
to pay, were getting just what was prom
ised in the way of pavement. Under all
the conditions, promises, contracts and
understandings, and in the face
of an openly filed protest, the
city council cannot, dare not, as
sumo any intermediate responsibility, and
therefore, buncome talk and discussions
are uncalled for, out of order and only
tend to arouse indignation. We know
that this is stating very grave matter in
a very conservative spirit, in the light of
uncalled discussions aud in face of times
when every dollar means dollar, but it
is plain and straightforward enough for
the full understanding that no advantages
OF technicalities or side agreements or
at the expense of tax
payers, will be for one moment suffered.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR INDIAN LANDS.

Judge Sayre, of Wabash, Ind, one Of
the indian commissioners, spent yesterday
in the city and in the rounds took in the
board of trade He was quite well pleased
with Wichita, and having a number OF
friends and acquaintance here spent the
day very pleasantly, leaving in the even
ing for Tahlequah, where the commission
will meet the Cherokee council.
1t is the opinion Of the members of the
commission that the Cherokees will be
decidedly more reasonable in their de-
mands for the strip than formerly. While
by reason of their claims they were getting
several hundred thousands of dollars an
nually by way of rental to the cattiemen
they were not anxious to make terms with
the government. They had an income
which they considered more last
ing and permanent than the offer
made by the government and hence their
obstinancy But things have changed
even since last May, when the commission
was at Tahlequah. The cattlemen being
driven out or at least will be out by the
first of next month, the revenue from the
rental is shut off and what adds to the
alarming feature is the fact that there
seems no positive chance in the future for
an income Being accustomed to getting
money from the strip, the Cherokees feel
more violently the change than they
would had they not been in the habit Of
renting out to the cattlemen. This state
of affairs, as represented to the commits
sion, has brought about spirit OF unrest
and discomfort among the Cherokees
which leads them to the conclusion that
they had better look to the government
for money The former cry about hunt
ing grounds" and the outlet to the far
west is not revived The Cherokees,
themselves, have little more use for hunt
ing grounds, as claimed, than the average
Kansan, who with permit or without,
once year goes down into the strip for
hunt. They have no use for it from
hunting standpoint
They have an appetite for money,
bonuses, like other people, and if they
can't get money from any other source,
it is claimed, will accept funds from the
government.
So far the commission has negotiated for
nearly five million acres of land which
may be made more forcible by recalling
that five million acres is nearly three times
as large as Oklahoma. They have yet, ac-
cording TO program, about ten million
acres to negotiate for, provided the apprO-
priation will hold out and favorable terms
are secured. So far, the average cost of
lands is fifty-five cents per acre, and 1t Is
thought the cherokees will, by no means,
get 81. % Der acre, which at one time was
rendered them.
