COLLEGE HUI. CITY, May 5. 1891.

COLLEGE HILL, CITY, May 5, 1891.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Will you please allow me a small space
in your columns to call attention to very
dangerous practice that is prevalent In
and around the suburbs of this city. 1t is
nothing unusual for persons living in the
suburbs of Wichita to hear bullets from
the guns of young sports, generally from
Is to 20 years of age, go whizzing past their
doors or fired at random into their
gardens. About three weeks ago as L
stood in my garden, south of the barn. a
gun was fired from the road and had
been on the other side of the garden and
north of the barn. should certainly have
been killed. A worse outrage than this
came to my ears last week, and L can
vounch for the truth of it. One of my
neighbors, lady, was standing at her
gate and her dog sat at her side, when one
OF these sports passed ana delloerateiy
shot her dog dead at her feet, and nearly
caused the woman's death from fright.
On Saturday last, while my
children were playing with a
neighbours children in the garden under
tree and our dog with them not ten feet
from the group, two of these smart city
dudes passed and shot the dog through the
hind legs, so tnaC MS recovery Is uOuDtlul,
and so scared my family that for some
time we did not know whether one of our
children, who stood nearest the dog, would
not die from fright.
Now sir, do not think this matter needs
any further remark from me. / leave it to
you and the public to pass verdict on
such conduct. Cannot anything be done
to stop this dangerous practice of sub
urban poaching and highway shooting?
Thara iC a law AGAINST IL if the residents of
the suburbs of this city will unite and
subscribe to one common fund the cost of
enforcing this law would be but trifing
in comparison to the boon it would con-
fer upon us. / am, yours respectfully,
GEORGE DAVIS.

In the west villages aud towns develope
so rapidly into cities that it is not easy for
people TO adapt themselves to the rapid
change 1t is not easy 10 lay aside habits
and customs which can be tolerated in a
village. and conform to the necessary re-
ouirements, and the proprieties Of city
life Some ordinances necessary and
proper in city are, by some, considered
richts and an interference with proper
ns,sonsl liberty. In this city, alleys
sedicated to the city for public use, are
chStrnctId and made impossible. often by
manure heaps, tin cans, and all kinds OF
rnbbish. An ordinance directed against
snch nuisance might not be kindly re-
ceiYed, but would il not be right.

Denizens of the northern portion of the
city in the vicinity of the Thirteenth
street bridge across Little river, have been
well nigh driven from their homes by the
smoke and stencil emitted from deposits
of garbage along the river on the east side
that has been burning for several days
past. The garbage deposits on the low
places next to the river constitute mis-
cradle nuisance at all times, but to have il
set fire to and smolder and burn day and
night for week at time, it becomes in
tolerable. 1t ought to be abated, forth

Several S0VenS.

In ancient times, the number seven
was looked on as having something of
a sacred and mysterious character,
evidences Of which crop out all through
history. There were Seven Wise Men
of Greece, the Seven Wonders of the
World, Seven Cities claiming to be the
birthplace of Homer. The Hebrew
temple contained a n-branchedg ol-
den candlestick; the Jews marched sew
en- times around the walls of Jericho to
compass it's fall. The seventh son of
a seventh son was supposed to be
gifted with miraculous powers of heal
ing. The seventh day of the week was
set apart as a holy day, Shakspere
speaks of the "Seven ages of man."
1.-The Burlington" system of railroads
with seven thousand miles of tracks,
links together seven cities of the Cen
trail West-Chicago, St. Louis, st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Kansas City,
Omaha and Denver. There is nothing
mysterious about it's popularity with
the travelling public; that has been
achieved by the facilities and accom-
modations it offers. For tickets, time
tables, rates of fare, etc., apply to any
ticket agent of 1.-The Burlington or

No matter whether any one else
ever dreamed OF calling upon the
GREAT WEST to sell to the Executive
Comm ittee, Miss Eva Mcdonald did
ask it. She came to DIR. Fish, at his
residence, in the evening, after he had
retired, as the head of acommitte and
delivered to him a written request to
make proposition toput the GREAT
WEST under the control of the Execu-
tive Committee. That is the solid
basis of the mOvement-and she is
responsible for either representing the
executive committee or misrepresent-
ing it.

Outrageous.

Thereports of the daily press on the
interest-bill discussion of Monday are
an insult to the state. The people
who read ne wspapers want the news.
When they get glaring misrepresen-
tation gotten up by design it is not
news, but falsehood.
They all represent Donnelly as
''scorched," ''trampled upon, "
''downed again." "broken up" etc.
The debate, was, in fact, a triumph for
the Sage, of the most pronounced and
glaring ype. In debate they whacked
away at time until they tired, and
then he rose and brought the blood to
their faces by statement of facts re-
ported in another column. When ne
vote was taken both his motions one
by advocacy and one originality car
ried triumphantly. Look at the vote
see if there was any crushing there!
Or whether miserable apology with
shame written on his two faces was
dumped in the pit Of humiliation.
Then the daily press praise LON
mems ttoration"'-when the whole
senate was on a grin, and the gallery
lau ghed at the contradictions.

Looks Like EarnestneSs,

The Renville Co. Alliance deserves
the thanks of the entire state for it's
attitude on the membership question.
It is the first great fall of the hammer
of law-obedience which has fallen up
on the alliance anvil. We are afraid
that the resolutions were not read
broadcast over the state, and so we
republish. The Renville Alliance de-
serves the more credit because Miss
Mcdonald was present at their pas
sage, and took part in a controversial
combat to such an extent that, as with
Ashby, of Iowa, an extraordinary ef-
fort was required to quiet the turbu-
lent spirit of the fair disputant.
Let the alliance come up to the full
measure of it's own requirements
obey it's own laws-and then Justly de-
mand obedience from those who riot
in court and legislature. The follow
ing are the resolutions passed:
THESE resolutions were left out OF
our copy by mistake, and at moment
of going to press we discover the fact.
They were published last week, and
were very strong in demanding full
obedience to the constitutional

In reply to our Adrian correspond
ent, who thinks the Treasurer and

such large salaries as are now general
ly paid. Most county officers, who
are farmers, rent out their farms, a. nd
a salary of 81, 900 would be taken by
most, If not all of them. The salaries
now mean two or three thousand
bushels of wheat where once they
meant but one thousand. Our cor
respondent is very reasonable in adj
vocating his position, but we think it
is the excessive salary that is attacked.

n, J. Hall and IVvino.

Since the Washington County Al
lance at Saltwater sat down on r. ].
Hall with such q heavy thump; and
since the exposure of the 10 per cent
paid in the Irvine machine deal [be-
sides the $4,000 extra price], in the
GREAT WEST, B. J. Hall has not been
heard from largely until he turned up
as q candidate for the Secretaryship
of the State Agricultural Society.
Defeated in this, he turned his at
tention to clerkships, and succeeded
in getting SIS q day snap from the
Finance Committee-on which duty
he is probably closely confined about
eight minutes once in two weeks.
But Wednesday Mr.. O. Brien, of the
Stillwater-Hall Irvine Co mmittee, APP
peared before the Prison Committee.
1t appears there is a rupture between
Hall and O'Brien-for at the time the
Washington County Alliance bounced
Hall it was on account of the latter's
heroic political work for OBJ.
Mr.. O'Brien was emphatic in his i'm
plications of bribery and crookedness
on Halls part in the Irvine deal.
Rather than quote from our own in
formation regarding the case, we clip
single paragraph from the St. Paul
Daily P ioneer Press-which has al
ways been altoge ther too friendly to
Hall in the past:
~ would like to haven. J. Hall here
| want to say something's him about
Doodle. 1 want to make charges
against HIM. When asked Todd for
reduction he told me that he could
not give it. He said he had reason
for refusing, but he would not tell
what it was. Afterward he came to
me and said: I'll throw off $500
and you can give that amount to Mr..
Hail. I told him l did not want the
$500, and would have nothing to do
with it,"
Irvine brings it's slow revenges. One
after another the charges of the GREAT
WEST are sustained by the infinitely
weaker evidence of outside parties.
