EVIL TONGUES.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Scarcely has a misfortune of any kind
befallen a community, family or an in
dividual when at once war is made against
the victim. AS by battle call. a whole
army of soldiers stands ready TO charge,
shoot and kill. Evil tongues are the
fighters in the warfare, and their weapons
are equal 10 sword and dagger, bomb and
shell, dynamite and the deadliest of
poison. Woe to the district ravaged by
floods or stricken by seven lean years, like
proud Egypt in olden times.
Read the history of Kansas, Sedgwick
county and Wichita as rendered by our
rivaling neighbors, from the grasshopper
calamity down TO the present day. The
vocabulary of insulting names, slurs and
ridicule would easily fill a new Webster.
However, a city may be reformed
again hundred fold prosperity may re-
turn and with it good luck, good Will,
peace.

mostly stands alone and his strength may
not bear him out, If left at the mercy Of

and their case" is relentlessly treated by
the gossiper, the meddler. the tattler. the
matchmaker, the maJcn-breaker and all
the forces along that line. Woe to the IN
successful business man who has lost his
fortune! Evil tongues will prosecute him
and see that he quickly loses his friends
also. Woe to the man in high office who
has unfortunately displeased some
body Grudge, hatred and green-eyed
envy are at once in the field,
slandering, denouncing him, undermining
his authority. Oh shame! Woe 10 the

popular with the leading members Of his

THE LoNsDALE PHARMAcEUrICAL CO.

Is the style of a new manufacturing
company, organized in this city short
time ago, for the purpose indicated in the
name. Yesterday Mr.. II. l.. Smithson, a
member of the company, exhibited in this
Office two samples of their preparations
that promise to become exceedingly popu-
lar, upon their merits, at once. One is
the Lonsdale Disinfectant Fluid, that is
designed for use just at this season of the
year particularly, though it is efficacious
ut any time it may be needed, as a thor
ough dIsinfectant and general hygienic
agent. This is not designed to be used as
a deodorizer, as that cannot be effectually
done without injury to the health of the
occupants of premises where used by any
preparation employed for that purpose,
but is meant to destroy noisome germs
and the poisonous properties OF foul air
rendered so from any cause.
The other preparation is an article for
the ladies' toilet, and is labeled "Candi-
dora" which in English signifies fair
face" which at once indicates its use The
Candidora is a liquid preparation for the
face and hands, the use of which renders
the skin soft and smooth, removing
blotches and tan. In a word it is a delight
full and efficacious lotion and will prove
boon for ladies who suffer from skin blem-
ishes of any kind.
These two are the leading preparations
manufactured by the Lonsdale Pharma-
centical company at present, though they
have several others in course of prepara-
ton which will be put upon the market as
perfected. The company's laboratories are
in Wichita and Chicago and it also has an
agency for the sale of their goods in
London. The company is composed of
practical pharmacists and their
are compounded upon scien
tiic principles, strictly, and are in no sense
catch-penny experiments.
They have ample capital to enlarge and
extend their business as the demands of the
trade shall require. Hettinger Brothers
store on East Douglas avenue, is the local
and retail salesplace for these
preparations. The public is invited to
test their merits, and the present is the
most suspicious time to do so TO the best
advantage.

A SOUND OPINION OF WICHITA.

Rev. John Kirby, after looking Wichita
over for two or three days. says that his
old idea that Wichita was to he the big
gest town in Kansas west OF the Missouri
river must give place 10 the conclusion
that its opportunities equal that OF any
city west Of Chicago, and that when
Wichita thoroughly controls the grain
products OF south Kansas as i must con-
troll the live stock products, that IL will
sweep right on 70 be a great commercial
and manufacturing center. Such vast and
accommodating wealth as surrounds the
location, such an aggregation OF multi
farious products, with no possible rival
nearer than Kansas City the logic OF the
conclusion Tor such pre- emmlnence Is

THE CAREY ADMINISTRATION.

Capt. John B. Carey was elected mayor
of Wichita by the business men of the
city. 1t was the taxpayers and property
holders who with ballot and inf1uen ce raj
lied to his support. Republicans and
Democrats alike whose fortunes. present
and future, depended largely on an honest
and economical administration of the
municipal affairs and conservation OF
the city's interests, voted for him them
selves and urged others to do likewise.
Whatever might be said now. pro or con.
the almost continual talk Of Doodle and
jobs had given rise TO sense of uneasiness
and the spirit of the men in whom the
city must stand or fall was aroused until!
party obligations and preferences weighed
as nothing. The result Of the election was
as indicated, and in an overwhelming way.
The same influence entered very largely
into the selection of the new council
men. With the declaration of the
result came a renewed confidence
and feeling of security upon the part of
every prominent leading business interest
and enterprise of the city. The men who
pay the bulk of the taxes. the men who
represent and own the property and the
institutions which must bear the expenses
of carrying on the city and pay the costs
of ali mistakes, were satisfied with the
result Of their efforts.
The new administration has now been
in control several months, long enough
to in some satisfactory degree measure its
intent and character. In the meantime
the EAGLE has watched, neither CRITICS
ing or praising. not only Mayor Carey's
official attitude, but the conduct of the
city council and the work of the ap-
pointive officials, and outside of disap-
pointed aspirants and their friends
and those who failed of ex-
pected public patronage, we have yet TO
hear the first unfavorable comment, much
less any direct charge of the want of hon
esty or capacity. Leyel-headed business
methods mark the acts of the mayor, en-
ergy and faithfulness those of his ap-
pointees, while the city council seem in all
their acts to be as careful. conservative
and conscientiously just as it would be
possible for men TO be; and it is very GER
tain, if the same policy is maintained to
the end. the verdict and acclaim OF the
people will be well done"

Another young man whom | hear of
frequently who is working his way up in a
journalistic way is Lew Springer, who
used TO be with the EAGLE. Springer
went to New York City and secured a
reportorial position on the New York
World. His progress was interesting 1t
seems that there is a strong rivalry in
New York City between the newspaper
men who have come from the west and
those of the east. The young men from the
west, who had their brains nourished by
the pure ozone and sunshine of the plains,
are responsible for this emulation. How
ever that may be, our friend Springer
made splendid stroke. One morning he
was going through one of the poorer
streets of New York when he saw mon
key with stolen hand-glass and a hair
brush, jumping from telegraph pole to
lamp post, swinging from curtain cords 10
electric wires, and chattering glibly all the
while, and at the same time followed by
an angry aggregation of Italians of all
sexes, which, in spite of all they could do,
were eluded by the sprightly monkey.
The humorous side of the scene struck
Springer at once, and he wrote il up. The
article had merit, and the city editor saw
it. Every body read that monkey arti-
Gle" The eastern bred reporters were
furious. They had seen that monkey do
the identical thing hundred times, but
they didn't think IT could be put in an
article. And here was a western man
getting wholesale praise. The next day
Springer was put at the head OF the police
department of the New York World and
he has his Office next door to Inspector
RNrnes'

If there is a more unjust abortion of
custom than another, it is the lowering of
kitchen labor and the degradation with
which a portion of the world regards a
woman beset who takes up the calling of
a servant girl forsthe purpose of liveli-
hood. To enter into moments thorough
thought will present some ludicrous de-
veiOpments Men work under men with
out compunction. We are all wage earn
ers in a sense. But the horror of woman
going into another woman's kitchen is
enough to set a large portion of the femin-
inc world aghast. And sometimes when
by necessity pressed TO it, the most heroic
measures and subtle receptions are re-
sorted to to cover up the supposed dis
grace. \ certain family of the north side
have lately been thrown into predica-
ment by one of these Collapses that is sure
TO overtake the management OF every
kitchen some day, however well regulated.
The presiding genius of this part of the
house was big strapping English girl,
whose superiority in muscularity and
sinewy energy was greatly enhanced by
the arrival of new member of the fam

on the person who had charge Of the hot
water, cloth presses and eatables.
