4 number of leading business men and
prominent taxpayers are opposed to the
park scheme, or at least are opposed TO

eight or ten Who have expressed them
selves to The EAGLE, say that, being
convinced that it is the wiseSt thing. all
things considered, and especially in view
OF the vast and expensive improvements
made this year, the matter be postponed
until a more auspicious time. they will
draw up protest aud 90 before the city
council at its next meeting when in a body
they will set forth the reasons which actu-
ate them in their opposition. The scheme
is one which was originally advocated 10y
The EAGLE. and again last spring we pub
lished a map of the whole plot, but we
have said nothing in advocacy Of the mat
ter lately simply because Of the changed
condition of financial affairs and we did
not want to urge a thing that might be-
come "A burden and a matter Of regret 70
taxpayers. As the matter now stands il
will probably be settled one way or the
other by the representatives of the people
and by those who would have 10 bear the

THE BARD OF ..GLEN MARY"

Near the vale OF the winding Kossken,
On slope nesting coy and airy.
Sits the home OF prince among men,
Mcdonald, the Bard OF Glen Mary
Environed by nature bewitching.
In forest, and fruit tree and flower
Here the birds carol forth their enriching
To- soul full Of music and power.
When night griuly greets the fair morning
Who blushingly gives him smile.
This poet. all Incidence scorning.
Goes forth with a song TO his toll
When day bids adicu to the evening
And journeys reluctantly west,
Here, weaving his brilliant conceiving,
Our poet and sage fndeth rest.
With heart filed with love 70 his ne!ghbor,
Controlled by disciplined brain,
He urgeth tn ennobling Of labor
With argument fervid and plain.
Tho a faith born Of creeds be his anchor,
And unbelief stirreth his ire,
he chideth as one without rancor-
It's kindness that feedeth his fire.
That the thread of his life may run ever
Without tangle or knot to the end.
That his pen may lose none OF its fervor
Wisheth one who has long been his friend

hearing the threatening language of the
traDps who were vo~ing dire conse-
quenceS to the boy unless he gUt them a
good supper, she went out to see what
was the matter. Upon seeing her the
lender of the gang ran towards her
and renewed his demands IN
more insolent language than
ever. Taking in the situation
at glance she meekiY said, ''wait q
minute. Then running into ths house
she secured shot gun and reappeared
upon the scene. By this time the other
two tramps were making away with the
boy while the leader was going up the
steps into the house. But one shot
into his anatomy stopped his
further progress and he ran
out of the yard and down the
railroad as fast as his legs could carry
him yelling PPM shot, I'm shot, - at
the top of his voice. Without stopping
for results, Miss Duffy then fired the re-
naming barrel into the crowd, who took
to their heels after their companion,
leaving the plucky young lady and her
companion master of the situation.
Both shots took effect, but, unfortu-
nately, the gun was loaded with fine bird
shot, which did not produce such CONF
plete execution as might be desired I'M
der the circumstances. The trsmps came
to Olathe, where the two injured ones
employed surgeon TO pick the shot out
of their bodies. They we're badly
sprinkled, but the shot was too fine to
cause any serious result.

Excursion to Southwest Texas.
San Antonio Times.


To those who take advantage of the re-
duoed rates offered by the railroad COM
panies to visit San Antonio and Corpus
Christi on May IA, 81 and 20, the Times
would offer the assurance of most de-
lightful time. To visit Central Texas
alone would hardly be reeompence for
the long trip that Eastern and Northern
people will make, but to view the COM
ing land of plenty, AMI to visit the
largest and wealthiest city in the state,
besides having a chance 20 secure q
glimpse of the great gulf, IL an induce
ment that will add materially to
the charms offered BY progressive Fort
Worth and her beautiful Spring Palace.
Come to San Antonio. You are not TO
be bored by persistent efforts Of real es-
tate men to sell you property. You are
invited to visit Southwestern Texas and
learn its true worth. There is not
country In the world with greater or
more numerous natural advantages.
