TWO MILLIONS.

Kansas City bonded herself this week
for two million dollars for new water
works. 1t was the last cent which that
place can vote under the state law. 1t
seems that this extreme measure was
taken and awful debt assumed because
of dissatisfaction with the present water
works company. The interest on this
vast municipal debt will be about three
hundred and thirty-three dollars per day
at five per cent, or two thousand dollars
per week. If Kansas City was now in
either population. business or values
what she was two or three years ago
such an additional municipal tax might
have been borne with an average amount
of grumbling and kicking, but as it is
taxpayers will sweat and groan more
than they do now under the extortions
of water company which that people
have tried apparently out of revenge to
bankrupt The chances are that the
present water company will put up a job
and unload its plant on the city.

KANSAS At CHICAGO.

That scheme gotten up by the social
ed State Agricultural society in coniunc-
ton with some fellows who want places,
for the raising Of fifty or one hundred
thousand dollars to defray the cost of a
state display at Chicago is not going to
work. The EAGLE said so in the first
place. The wrong elements got hold Of
1t. That State Agricultural society, So
called. are long time finding out that
they don't represent the farming inter-
ests'of this state, nor never have. The
society represents ring, and incidental
ly few scattering local politicians of
the several towns of the state who have
been able to catch on. But both farm
erS and business men are going to re-
fuse, and if the money is not forthcom-
ing from real estate agents and specu-
iators and home local and state aspiring
politicians, the next move will be to
get an extra session of the legisla-
ture. Then there will be fun. OF course
the Alliance would be first appealed to,
then the governor. All kinds of prom
Ises and assurances will be made as to
the cost of such extra session and Gov
ernor Humphrey no less than the Al
lance leaders will be first into the sweat
box. Sedgwick county's portion of the
sum to be raised could not be less than
$1,000, which would have to be contrib
uted by Wichita, practically. As Wich-
tia contributed $1,000 cash in the name
of the state two years since to the Ohio
Valley exposition at Cincinnati and
could not even get the state papers to IA
vorably mention the work she did there,
or to tell of the gold medal and the pre-
miums carried off, it is not very likely
that the city will lead off with $1,000
subscription now. But we shall see
what we shall see.

When quite young children often show
disposition to hold objects very close to

this can be remedied by wearing specially
prepared spectacles for a given time, but il
neglected spectucles will be of no avail and
nothing remains but surgical operation
Parents cannot be too careful about this
matter, as many child has lost the sight
of one eye on account of the ignorance and
negligence of the parents.

should be thoroughly tested by means OF

often develop afterward scrofulous sweat

Velvet Lining for Medicine.

Many people avoid taking medicine when
