GRAPES AND LATE FROSTs.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
AS the grape crop was badly injured in
this vicinity last year-(the first time in
years.-ED. EAGLEl-by the late frost. /

formation in regard to saving the crop in
the event of another similar season. which
does not often occur in Kansas. The
knowledge, If correct, would have been
many dollars in the pockets of grape rails
ers last year, and may be OF benefit in the
future. met a gentleman in this city a
few DAYS ago, Mr. A Crismar. OF Ford
county, who says he has been in the grape
business all his life both in this state and
Ohio, also his father before him. he says
as soon as il is known that the young
grape, or blossom. is killed, the new wood
should be cut back as far as it is killed
and almost Immediately a new bud will
shoot out, which he calls the bark bud:
new wood will be formed and a new crop
of grapes the result. little later than the
first. but just as good II is a well known
fact that the Concord grape often produces
a second crop the same year, ripening late

the figures of the combination. But after
the safe was shipped to town, 10 and be-
hold the figures were false and would
not open the safe at all. The old gentleman
who formerly owned the safe was visited,
but request for the correct combination
was met with scorn. He positively re-
fused to hand over the "open sesame, and
there was no way to cOerce him. Inc pres
ent owners of the safe have consulted An
expert who offers to open the outer door
for 500 and the inner doors for a
little more than hundred. He will not
take the job for less; SO the safe remains
unused and unpenetrated. The owners
have had an intimation from the former
owner that he will open it for $50 and IL
seems that that offer the company will
finally have TO resort to. The safe Will
cost them $50 more than they expected.
Wichita is getting fish from and return

Wilkinson g. Co.. of that city, writes
Mayor Clements as follows, which consti-
tutes one of many pointers to the bust
ness that is growing up between the two
places:
Can you give US the names OF some
! dealers in butter, whom we might address

consignments Last January we bought
butter that came from person who lived

and if we could fud him out or some

make it profitable to both of US by open

Duck shooting is not SO very good this
spring, say the huntsmen. One OF the
members of the Wichita Gun club was uI
to the lodge recently and only shot thirty
seven ducks in three days Usually it is
a matter of no great glory to bring down
that many in single hour. Duck shoot
ing should be good, figured out from the
| flight of the winged creatures. as 1T i:
known that the ducks and geese have gone
north and came back several times this
spring, giving ample opportunities for
hunt. Speaking of duck hunting, but 6

Harvey county, about twenty miles from

AFATAL ACCIDENT.
Fr,nk Sellers is hun over BY a switch Engine
and Dies In Few Hours.

Frank Sellers, "a laborer, who has been
living with DR. Peck, at 1921 South Mos
ley avenue. was run down by switch en-
CINE in the Santa Fe yards last night at
about $50 O'Clock, and terribly bruised and
mangled He was found by the chief OF
the night switch gang, who was following
the engine, and was conveyed to the Wlch-
tia hospital where he died at 11:l5, after
suffering nearly three hours OF the most
torturing pain that a human can bear.
The accident happened about two blocks
south Of the Union depot.
1t will never be definitely known how he
came to get caught by the engine, but he
had been drinking, and it is supposed that
this accounts for his misfortune. The
engine was going south, and must have
struck him squarely, knocking him down,
and then passed over his body, for when
found he presented the appearance OF hav-
ing been rolled over and over in the Gin
ders, his clothing being torn to shreds and
his body being one great bruise.
DR.. Purdue was called, and while wait
ing for conveyance to the hospital, the in
iured man begged him piteously to Kill
him and end his terrible agony.
His right leg was cut in two about half
way between the knee and foot, and was
hanging by the skin; there was deep cash
| on his right hip; scalp wound three or
| four inches long just above his right tenn
| ple. and the left side of his head had most
of the skin knoch ed Off There was hardly
spot on his whole body that was not
bruised. There were no bones broken save
the one in the right leg, which must have
| been cut off by car wheel passing over it.
On his person were few letters, mem
orandum book and a purse containing
S165.
| Two of the letters were from John j.
| Dair, of Morrel, Kan, the first dated
| March 20, and the other March % In the
| first the writer advised Sellers to come
there and he would be likely to find work,
and. in this letter, Dair promised to send
him money to pay his fare to that place,
At the end of this letter the
writer spoke of an old grandmother, and
said, "to see you will give her new lease
of life, probably" The poor, old grand
mothers heart will probably break when
she learns of this sad accident In the
second letter of March 25th, the writer
sent Sellers the SIS he had promised, and
| told him to come at once. and IL Is prob
able that Sellers was making his way TO
the depot to take his departure when he
met with the accident.
| Ii was not learned what disposition is to
| be made of the remains, but it is probable
that Mr.. Dair, of Merrell, the party from
| the letters mentioned above came, will b,
commu nicated with, and that If the de
ceased has friends there, as Is supposed
| they will come TO claim the body.

FREDERICK sTACKMAN DEAD.

The announcement yesterday morning
of the death of Mr.. Fred Stackman was u
shock to the entire business community.
1t was known only to his most intimate
acouaintances that he was ailing with an
attack of something like the grip, which,
in connection with chronic case OF
asthma, it is supposed proved his death.
Mr.. Stackman was one Of the oldest citi-
zens of the place, in the very prime OF life,
respected by everybody. He was a very
quiet man, backward and bashful even
among men. He leaves n large and valu-
able property being among the weaithiest
OF our people, probably, which goes to his
wife, we suppose, to whom he has been
married but few years. At this writing
no announcement of the time and place OF
his funeral has been sent in.

A woman with disheveled hair and dis
ordered dress ran breathless into Hof-
mans drug store yesterday afternoon and
wanted to know i. a man named Ross had
bought strychnine there The woman was
greatly excited The drug clerk answered
in the negative. She said that Ross had
told her be had bought strychnine in there
and had taken it. While she tore away
towards another drug store, the clerk sug-
gested the propriety to her of first getting
a doctor instead of finding out who had
sold the poison. In all probability the man
Ross was just foolin'.
