employed cook, was taken to the Hospital
OF Saint Antoine, Paris, suffering from gas
trtis. Mistaken on account of his dress, for u
woman, he was taken to the ward reserved for
members of the weaker sex. When they
found the mistake he was put into another
ward.
The strangest thing about the whole case is
that Sgno says that he never wore male attire
excepting on the day he was examined by the
conseil de revision in order to determine
whether he was fit for military service. When
he was seventeen years old he went as servant
girl to a farm in Lin sur-Mer. He remained
there eleven years. He learned to cook at
Caen and went to Paris, where he was employ
ed as cook for forty years either in private

After the announcement some time
ago that ex-President Cleveland would
take part in the Ohio campaign TINS year
and everybody had fixed themselves to
witness the hurdle race he was expected
to ride-on the silver hobby-it was
stated that he would not so TO Ohio nor
take any part in the campaign. OF
course this was disappointment, and it
has provoked no little comment, mostly
in the form of adverse criticism. To our
mind the Atchison Champion makes the
fairest statement of the case we have
seen when it says that "Cleveland's alb
sence from the Ohio canvass may be due
TO premonition of defeat. This seems
20 be the soundest argument of all. for
there is chance, if not probability OF
BIcKinley's election. and if he should be
elected. Mr.. Cleveland could gain moth
ing by being allied to Campbells defeat.
Whether he abstains from simple incli-
nation, from political sagacity or from
whatever motive, Mr.. Cleveland acts
wisely in steering clear OF Ohio this
fall"

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
DEAR SIR: In Thursdays Post-Dis-
patch is an article they call ''Razzle
Dazzle" or an advance of some cents
in the value of wheat in the past couple
of days. This was brought about by
bears rushing to cover. One of them,
Mr.. Partridge, in Chicago, claims to
have lost 100000 in buying back his
Shorts" which you can figure-if he
tells the truth-up his losses. He must
have been ''short" in the market some
ten million bushels of wheat. Now, this
was only one operator, and no doubt
there were many others more or less
short" If you will stop to think you
will see what terrific influence these
men have had upon values when they
sold their promises to deliver IN the
future to aggregate such large amounts
as these figures would indicate, in addi-
ton to the normal marketing of wheat
by needy farmers. Ispeak Of this pres
ent Instance of the wheat market.
If you ask the question what
kind of people are the farm
ers or the legislators OF this
country VINO Will perfect suCn udIldSIHB
methods to value of food products? l
presume that grain gamblers have been
generally looked upon like other species
of gambling, only injuring the parties
participating in it; but l think when
you calculate the amount of wheat we
have sold out of this crop at less than
81 per bushel. when without doubt the
situation in Europe would justify and
they would be willing to pay $1.25 per
bushel for same, and probably much
higher price before another crop is
grown, it will show you how badly
handicapped we are, not being able
to take advantage of this situation, par
ticularly this year, when Europe is send
ing so many of our securities back for
sale. l would not grumble much if we
could have traded them $1.25 OF 81. so
wheat for them. Yours truly,

Personally appeared before me, clerk

uty register of deeds for Sedgwick
county, and whom l have known for
over twelve years, and who is known as
truthful and reliable, who after being
duly sworn, deposes and says: That in
the Daily EAGLE of August II, 1891,
there appears an article headed
Don't Go to Topolobampo;" that
said article contains untruths in
such number that in defence of the col
ony and of truth, he is constrained to
make this oath; that he has letters from
members of the colony totally refuting
the statements made i'll above mentioned
article, one of his correspondents being a
person well known in this community.
namely, Hon. VIM. Ross; that of his
own knowledge Che being one of the di-
rectOrS in the Kansas Sinaloa Investment
company, he knows that the -four
shipped to the colony is not the stuff the
article mentioned CLAIMS. but is a good
tirst-class flour; that the Mr.. Hoffman
and some others mentioned in the article
above, have made no money out of the
colony, but on the other hand are money
out; that all in the colony are paid alike,
tO-wit: $500 per diem in the credit
checks of the colony, and no one. no
matter what his occupation, receives
more than another; thai he has letters
and documentary evidence to show auv
who wish to read, that the heat has not
exceeded 100 degrees in any day during
Juue, 1891; that water was used cut of
wells some fifty feet in depth. that is BY
such persOus as Hon. William Ross afore-
said pronounced good: that that part
which says that the colony deals in

as Mr.. Owen, the leader IS a Quaker.

ELEVATORS.

Those who were in Wichita during the
early history Of this city, remember very
distinctly the time when nine elevators
were IN operation night and day. The
railroad Side-tracks were crowded with
cars. ana Douglas avenue filled with
wagons whiting to unload their grain.
over :. 000, 900 bushels of grain was taken
from wagons and shipped east over the
Santa Fe road. Times were good and
there was plenty of business.
Ii was question then Of taking care
of the business. not whether there was
going 10 be any business. Ii came upon
US suddenly, and we were not prepared
for it. Today we see u business coming
and should be prepared 20 handle it. The
prospect for good prices for all kinds of
grain never was better. Everything has

ments of these roads on the plea that
they are losing money, or are bankrupt.
And the suspicion of skull-duggery is in
creased by the fact that in 1889 these
roads made money, as Poor's Manual
shows. The Taxpayers of Kansas would
like TO know what real motive actuated
these assessors to do as they have.
A New Study in the Kansas University.
From the Indianapolis News.
A new course of study is to be added
to the department of American history
and civics in the Kansas university, viz:
1.-The Status of Women in the United
States" 1t will begin with brief re-
view of the condition and position OF
women in all countries and in all ages,
down TO a. d. 1850. From this period q
more careful study will be given to the
women preceding the colonization OF
America, to indicate the "fatherland in
huences. Attention will then be di-
rected TO the colonial, revolutionary and
early nineteenth-century periods. The
course will close with a careful examin-
alton of the legal, educational, profes-
SIGNAL, industrial and political status in
the Union. a special alcove will be set
apart in the university library for books
written in all languages by aud about
women.
