not been obeyed. Negroes will not obey q

InCersoll on California.

In recent magazine article. Mr.. Ernest
Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
1.-THE climate of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
It's equability is constant, and its dryness
is proverbial. The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that a rousing storm would give them
a grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from superfuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise. and to the in
valid dreading the advance of disease. the
still. arid atmosphere is as the breath of
life"

The editor of daily paper says: eve
took new reporter on trial yesterday. He
went out to hunt for items, and after being
away all day returned with the following,
which he said was the best he could do:
Yesterday we saw sight which froze
our blood with horror. A cabman, driving
down Clark street at rapid pace, was very
near running over nurse and two chill
dren. There would have been one of the
most heartrending catastrophes ever re-
corded had not the nurse, with wonderful
forethought, left the children at home be-
fore she went out, and providentially
stepped into chemists shop just before
the cab passed. Then, too, the cabman,
just before reaching the crossing, thought
of something he had forgotten, and, turn
ing about, drove in the opposite direction.
Had it not been for this wonderful concur
renee of favoring circumstances doting
father, loving mother, and affectbonate
brothers and sisters would have been
plunged into deepest woe and most I'M

The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1891-04-16

The run of cattle today was small, and,
as has been the case for the past few days,
the demand was not supplied. Good cat
tie of all kinds were wanted, and there
were several parties wanting stock steers
in particular. A bunch of six stockers,
averaging 500 pounds, sold for $3.50. and
more of the same kind were wanted at the
price Everything offered today sold at
strong prices. The market was cleared of
cattle at the close, and all of the buyers
were disappointed by the small number on
the market.
