AT TIE STOCK YARDS.

The volume of business transacted for
the week makes a good showing and is
considerably larger than that of the pre-
ceding week. Prices on live stock at the
yards have ruled steady to strong all week.
with perhaps one exception, and every
thing offered in that line has found ready
sale and at satisfactory prices as rule,
and shippers as well as commission men
are very well satisfied with the weeks
business. The only trouble was that the
supply was light in cattle. OF course,
poorly fed and half tat cattle do not sell
well anywhere and do not sell as readily.
but good butcher stuff find ready buyers
in the Wichita yards.
There has been a good supply Of hogs
and the market was fairly ac-
tive all week There has been
a decline in the hog market in sympathy
with the eastern markets, but the market
last evening closed steady. The quality OF
the offerings this week has on the average
been better and there were not near 50
many hight aud half fattened hogs in as
the previous few weeks. The business Of
the past week has been considered the best
for months. Il is understood that Dold
will start up soon which vii. add another
good buyer and contribute to put. more
activity in the business at the yards.
From farmers who have been il the city
the past week il has been gathered that
they are buying up all the thin hogs they
can get to feed them and prepare them for
market. The immense corn crop has
enabled farmers 10 do this The appear

A FUNNY INCIDENT.

A very funny incident occurred in one
of the county offices yesterday A good
natured gentleman was in there who had
made some deals and the boys in the Office
in joking way insisted that keg of beer
would be the proper thing under the cir
cumstances. He left without saying any
thing and in an hour after a dray showed
up with fine healthy keg of beer on it
and the first thing the officer knew the
driver was rolling it into his office. He
threw up his hands in holy horror and
begged the driver to take it back, to the
drivers great astonishment, for he could
not see how any man could refuse such a
present.. The driver took back the beer and
very soon thereafter the generous
donor reappeared on the scene
with a big box under his arm
which contained liberal supply of sau-
sage and switzer cheese which he intended
for lunch for the boys, Explanations
followed aud the gentleman ascertained
that the beer had been returned. The
officer in question. hasn't got over the
shock yet, and he isn't a Prohibitionist
either. 81 never was so badly scared in
my life" said he to an EAGLE reporter,
'as was when l saw that beer rolling in.
Why, man, if opened that keg in this
office every prohibitionist in the county
would hear of it in twenty-four hours and
my name would be Dennis for all time to
come declare it seemed to me there
were 10000 people looking at that beer keg
rolling into my Office, although l am in
formed there was not a man in sight"

VOICE FROM MEDICINE LODGE.

Ed Sample, the well known young law
yer Of Medicine Lodge, was in the city last
night on his way to Kansas City and stop
ped few hours at the Carey. Ed is Re-
publican Of the deepest dye and is one Of
if not entirely, the best workers in Barber
county for as speaker he has probably
no equal in that section OF the country.
w hen the EAGLE reporter sounded him on
the political situation his face frightened
up and he said: You can tell the people of
Kansas through the columns OF the EAGLE
that the Republicans Of Barber county
are in it this fall We will elect the en-
tire Republican ticket from sheriff to cor
oner and if we don't I'll make you pres
ent of the best new hat in Wichita. The
calamity howl is no more heard in the
rich gypsum bills and fertile val
leys of Barber county; it has
given way to the merry song of the happy
husbandman as he follows his plow on its
mission of preparing the soil for bounti-
full harvest next year. VIII Jerry" speak
in the county this fall?
"No, 1 don't think he will. The
farmers OF Barber county have no par
ticular use for the quondam granger.
They know him, and to know Jerry is not
to be particularly stuck on him. He has
farmed. like he is reforming the govern
ment, with his mouth. If l don't mistake
the sentiment of the people Of Medicine
Lodge, he would find it difficult matter
to be elected road overseer. The destiny
of the Alliance in our county is near at
hand, and it means disintegration if not
anlhilation. The heretofore substantial
members of it, both Democrats and Re-
publicans, have pulled out from it, and
nothing now remains of the organization
but the same old Greenback and Union
Labor combination. Our farmers have
raised an immense crop of wheat,
corn and oats this year, and are now busy
bringing hundreds of tons of cane into
the sugar mill at the Lodge, for which
they are getting good prices. They are
prosperous, happy and contented-that is,
the Industrious ones are, and they see
clearly now that the i'll luck that befel
them the two previous years was lot the
fault of the Republican party.
1t was under the shade of Mr.. Samples
Office, when the shade was on that side of
the street, that Jerry Simpson first became
famous as local statesman. The objects
of his destructive knife can still be seen
on the awning posts, aud Mr.. Sample says
that be thinks be can still hear his un-
polished voice echoing through the ada
cent alley " hen the stiffness of night over
hangs Medicine Lodge and he is sitting in
his bachelors den pondering over The pc
culiar variations of politics which reduces
statesmen to gardeners. as in the case of
Ingalls, and which elevates ditch-diggers
into statesmen, as in the case of Simpson.

Wolfram, or tungsten, belongs to q
group of rare metals, and till compar-
atively recent time was known only to
the chemist, and its value was only in
the laboratory. With the invention Of
100-ton guns the demand for tungsten
soon made that previously obscure
metal well known throughout the min
ing world. It was soon found that the
steel tube lining the bore of these enor-
nous gnns could not resist the shock
cntailed by discharging many shots
without becoming fractured, when, Of
course, an expensive piece Of ordnance
became useless.
Experiment proved that. the addition
Of . small quantity Of tungsten to the
fine steel emplo Dyed in gun-making rem
dered the latter metal wonderfully elias
tic, SO that the steel tube will expand
under the tension Of firing and contract
again to its normal size great many
times before the quality Of the metal is
in any way impaired. The German
gun factories consequently absorb most
of the tungsten found IN the world, and
from being mere curiosity seen only
In the laboratory Of the chemist, this
rare metal has acquired considerable
value s
Wolfram (erroneously called tung-
state Of iron in the cablegram) gener.

Europe, but it issalso found in scheelite,
