BARNuM,s BILL sTieKERs.
They Surprise Tie Fnslish:ncn by the Rap
idity of Their Work.

idity of Their Work.
Opposite to this house is Il boarding
thirteen feet high by over one hundred
feet long, and in few minutes was to
see feat in bill posting such as seems
hardly credible, now that sit calmly
down TO write of ii. y wagon having
driven up, tive l,cn got out OF it; one l
recognized as Mart Ready, Barnums
boss poster, two were Americans in their
neat duck overalls, and TWO were Eng
lish bill stickerS whose appearance I
would rather not describe. III two min
utes after their arrival the duck over
allied men had out their tin cans full of
paste and their eight foot long poles with
brushes at the end, and were hard at it
covering the boarding with paste from
top to bottom, from cnd to end. The
Englishmen stood by with something
like snecrs on their faces, us who should
say: "Weil, there amt much in that;
we can cover Il boarding with paste,
too" Another minute passed and Ready
began handing out some carefully folded
posters. The Englishnen's faces relaxed
a little, as who should say: What are
they goin' to do now" and they began
to whisper together.
The two Americans seized one Of the
folded posters, gave it Il shake. ran the
brush end of the long poles under it,
raised it, gave sweep aud another
sweep, and there on the boarding was 4
sixteen sheet poster. containing 4 fac
simile OF an open letter from p. I. Bar
nun, headed My Greatest Venture"
Then followed a twelve sheet poster
portrait of Barnum, 4 forty-eight sheet
depicting the show tents rs they travel
in America, twenty-four sheet picture
OF Jumbo, forty-eight sheet representa-
ton of the gallery of human freaks of
nature, thirty-siX sheet portrait of the
fair Indian snake charmer from the
Bowery, New York, 4 forty-eight sheet
picture of the menagerie, thirty-siS
sheet portrait of the Mexican rider, a
forty-eight sheet representation of the
elephants performing, a twenty-four
sheet picture of the clowns anda twenty
four sheet portrait OF Miss Clara O,Brien,
the Roman knife thrower.
All along the tops and the bottoms OF
the pictures "s,reamerS" were pasted.
The most remarkable fact, however, was
that every one Of these huge posters was
slung up into position whole-they had
been pasted together before starting.
The 100 by Is feet was covered in exactly
fourteen minutes and thirty seconds.
There. That is something like bill stick
ing. You ought to have seen the faces
of those Englishmen. They were study
for Dickens. Of course n crowd gath
cred, and, as the omnibuses stop at the
Ceilars, you may guess there were some
quaint remarks from the drivers and
conductors.-Pall Mall Gazette

THE BIGGEST, NEVERTHELESS.

"a better form would be Wichita. the
biggest city in Kansas viii far Outstrip all
the other cities of the southwest when the
Texas deep haTbOr is opened to the world S
traffic.-Wichita Eagle.
Why not 1.-The biggest city in the
United States?" Why confine it to Kan
sas? Wichita was willy enough not to
send in any return Of population, so
there is no way of holding you down to
the facts. Let 'er go, GaIlagher!-Capi-
tai
Topeka is about the last place that can
afford TO speak lightly of the grip Of the
next census. A town that is on record
for all the way from forty-fve to fifty
five thousand people with only a few
dozen actually ever in sight at one time
could well afford TO be more modest
when speaking Of population, especially
as the month of June is scarce forty days
away.
As the Capital always wants to appear
smart at the expense Of Wichita, and is
ever so complaisant in abiding to the
magnitude of Topeka, we will suggest a
something. TO it which it, and many other
people of the state, have probably never
taken into their estimates of the relative
greatness Of the cities of Kansas:
Wichita is the youngest city in Kansas,
not more than half as old as the other
larger cities Of the state.
There Is not a city in the state. save
and except Wichita, that has not been
boistered and pampered by the building
of state institutions and by annual APP
preparations of the peoples money to
sustain the same and indirectly such
cities, Topeka more than all others.
There is not another city in the state.
save and except Wichita, whose import
ance the great railway corporations of
the state have not directly fostered and
contributed to. and to Topeka more than
To- any other. save Kansas City.
Wichita in short Is the only city in the
state whose people, in the absence of any
aid from the state directly or indirectly
in spite of combinations made bv railway
traffic managers in the interest of the
Missouri river basing line as against
Wichita, over and again in the past.

mercial city in Kansas-vide the weekly

the prettiest city in every other respect,
fact that viii not be questioned much

THE OKLAHOMA BROTHERHOOD.

Did you ever think Of the friendships
that must have been formed in a country
like Oklahoma? 1t presents an unique
and novel social state. a year ago to-
day thousands of people rushed into a
wide territory and, with some excep-
lions, they were entire strangers to one
another A man did not know who was
at his right or his left, III front of him or
at his back. He had to learn, however,
and the right of choice and prediction
was exercised and today the men who
were strangers a year ago are now broth
ers, ready to protect their fraternal in
terests and battle for the common in
terest of a new state, of which they are
each a part, and together constitute the
whole. Henceforth Oklahoma's pros
perity is their prosperity and it is their
duty to glorify its name and protect and
defend it from calumny. 1t is such that
makes a state strong and lays a founda-
ton on which the children Of the eighty
nine boomers viii see a towering edifice.

We see it stated that "Rev" B. +. Eos
ter has just returned to Topeka from Al
ALBANIA and is credited with the announce
ment that before July LIST there will be
10000 colored people emigrate from that
state TO Oklahoma. Ii this Is true it
seems to us little less than an outrage,
not only upon the deluded colored people,
but upon the people OF Oklahoma. 1t has
been repeatedly stated in the prints by
numbers of persons in position to know
that there are no vacant lands IN Okla
homa to be occupied by anybody, and 70
bring 10000 people into the country Just
now cannot but be a burden upon the
community. The presumption Is that
these emigrants would come into the
new country without means of subsist-
ance and it would be out of the question
to expect them to find employment
there. Nevertheless, if Oklahoma wants
the influx of people mentioned, it isnot
the EAGLES province to object, and 1t
won't

IMPORTANT ARTICLES.

The Forum is out with its card of con-
tents for the May number, in which it
gives ex-Speaker Carlisle and C. Wood
Davis the lead or preference. 1t says
that ex-Speaker Carlisle has written a
reply to Senator Dawes recent article on
the first year of the administration of
President Harrison, which Will appear in
the May number of the Forum. He re-
calls the campaign promises Of the Re
publican party and reviews its action
since it again came into power. In the
same number there is a review of Sir
Charles bikes recent book, problems
of Greater Britain" by Mr.. Goodwin
Smith, who gives special attention to the
portions of Sir Charles book that treat of
Canadian problems. Mr.. c. Wood Davis,
Of Kansas, who had an article in the last
number of the Forum to explain why
the farmer Is not prosperous, follows it
with another article to show that the in
crease Of population is greater than the
increase of farming areas, and that con-
sequently at no distant day the agricul-
tural products of the United States Will
not be more than the people of the
United States viii require for their own
consumption.

EsTo PERPETUA OKLAHOMA.

The Oklahoma bill is virtually a law,
the conference committee having
reached a final agreement and reported
the same back to their respective houses.
1t meets with the approval of all parties
interested, it is said, that is with the en-
dorsements of the administration, of the
Indians, of the senate and house, and
with the representatives of Oklahoma
now in Washington. 1t was expected
Saturday that it would be called up for
final passage at the morning hour of
yesterday and be signed by the president
before the end of the present week.

ably certain. The EAGLE congratulate I,
