\. W. Dickinson. general superintendent
of the Missouri Pacific, passed through
the city yesterday in his special car max
ing only a short stop. In conversation he
said the trip was not altogether one Of in
spection, but that the increased business
Of the road in this section required a little
consideration. He did not wish 10 he
quoted as saying anything further than
that the Missouri Pacific would keep fully
abreast of the business and would md II
TO its advantage 10 work 70 the interest Of
Wichita. a policy which had been adopted
some time ago. and which thus far had
not proven to be very far wrong. In clos
ing he said II was customary for railroad
officials to unload few compliments
wherever they stopped, but be thought the
recent improvement in the service would
speak more than he could. and If Il did not
say enough ne was sure the developments
Of the next few months would give salts

cent too far gone for rain to save. a very
small per cent stands A No. l." He finds
that the flax, like wheat and oats, IS num-
Der one Considerable areas of fax are
grown in Butler county and the cultiyat-
ors of it say that it seems very sure and Is
a very profitable crop He finds that the
rain fall has been very spotted, but con

THE ARrII.I.ERx.

4 secret session Of faction of the Hays
battery, K. y. e.. was called several days
since by one ofthe subordinate officers, due
mention of which was incidentally made
in the EAGLE. The something prophesied
has happened and now the company is in
the best possible shape. The refractory
element has been brought into good line
and the ringleader unranked The whole
trouble originated about a story set afioat
by a member who is bit of wag to the
effect that General Myers intended 70 dis
band the company This little rupture
gave Captain Metcalf chance TO straight
en- out several little matters and establish
a more thorough discipline than formerly.
Next week the company viii shoot for
prizes in Alamo, and all parties having
cows or horses in the vicinity are duly no
titled to move them to a safe distance, say
five miles. The medals Will be furnished
by the state and as soon as the boys get
little practice close competition may be
expected

UP AND AT CHISHOLM CREEK AGAIN.

The council committee to call on the
Hydraulic Avenue Milling company, for
the purpose of trying to reach some sort of
a compromise on the Chisholm creek ques-
ton, according to arrangements made yes
terday, will probably have IA conference
with the company today. The council
meeting tomorrow evening Will give Il
chance for report if it only embraces the
assurance of progress. a member of
the committee stated yesterday that in his
Judgment it was possible to arrive at "A
conclusion at an early date, and possibly
by tomorrow evening the committee would
be able to report something of interest to
both the council and the Chisholm creek
section concerned.
Councilman Caswell don't like the plan
of the city being caught for half the ex-
pense of the arbitration which failed to ar
bitrate. He thinks it was an oversight
some how, that the provisions were not
made TO dump the cost on the milling COM
pany in any emergency like the present
one.

cake, and Captain John Wallace, who is
authority on such subjects, says mo cake

and evenly buttered; the ham is to be
sliced evenly. half fat half lean. \ small
quantity of the best mustard, mixed in
vinegar, is TO be judiciously spread on the
ham. The whole TO be cut into even and

Now Hay Me Down to Sleep.

Gazing through the shades of night,
At the twinkIing stars on high;
Der me spirits in the air
Silent vigils seem to keep
AS l breathed my childhood prayer
Now Lay me down 10 sleep"
Sadly sings the whip poor-will,
In the boughs of yonder tree;
Lzughingly the dancing rill
Swells the midnight melody
Foemen may be lurking near
In the canyon dark and deep
Low l breath in Jesus ear
II pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep
Mid those stars a face see,
one the Savior called away
Mother who in infancy
Taught my baby lips TO pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near,

Take me to her. Savior dear

Fainter grows the flick ring light.
As each ember slowly dies.
Plaintively the birds OF night
Fill the air with saddening cries;
Over me they seem to cry
You may never more awake"

Now lay me down to sleep,
