SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Mr.. J. H. Swan met with a serious
though not fatal accident at his home on
South Ellis avenue yesterday morning
He started out the back door. TO pump a
pail Of water, and as he stepped on the
the platform of the pump he slipped on
some ice and fell so the end of the pump
handle struck In his mouth. The handle
tore upward. cutting 10 the bone, for over
an inch. The blow caused him to fall
backward and his head struck on the edge
Of the platform around the pump, stun
ming him for time. Mrs. Swan went to
see what delayed Mr. Swan, and found him
living on the ground. She got help and he
was carried into the house, and DR.. Bibbee
was summoned, who sewed up the cut in
the face and dressed the confusion on the
head. and in few hours the patient was
resting easy.
Mr. Swan being somewhat dazed after
the wound in his lip was sewed up, thought
he had something in his mouth. and he
got hold OF the end of the thread and
pulled it entirely out, necessitating the
attention of the physician second time.
Mr.. Swan was able to be out in the after
noon and will, no doubt, be all right in a
few DAYS

knight in a tourney.

Wealthy Representative.

Among the members OF the house there
are comparatively few who would not be
compelled to resign should their salaries
cease. Still there are number Of repre-
sentatives who pay far more than 5000 a
year fer the honor of serving their country
in the halls OF congress. Gen. Joe Wheeler,
of Alabama, who is known in the Confed-
eracy as Fighting joe" uses his salary to
pay for clerk hire and printing. he sends
out more public documents than probably
any three or four other members Of con
gress.
In addition he spends considerable
money in having extra copies Of his
speeches printed. BE has an office within
a stones throw of the Capitol, and when
not needed in the house he rushes over
there and directs the work Of his clerks
He is one OF the hardest worked men in
congress. The general is a millionaire,
am told, and he finds the greatest enjoy
ment in his wealth in sending out these
documents, so that his constituents may
be thoroughly well informed as 70 national
legislation.
Congressman Roswell p. Flower spends
many times more than his salary In per
forming good deeds. Mr.. Flower does faE
more good in the world than probably will
ever be known, because he makes it point
Of never letting the donations he makes TO
charity become known. Congressman
Henry Cabot Lodge employs two or three
secretaries, and these Injuries cost him
more than his salary. Bat then, he is one
of the rich men OF the house and can easily
afford it
1t is pretty safe to say that there Is not
any one of the New York or Brooklyn
congressman who does not lose money by
serving in congress. - Washington Cor.

TIE GREAT OUTLOOK

Mr.. George A. Lyon, one OF the oldest
residents of this valley and who has sue
cessfully farmed in Sedgwick county ever
since the county was county, or for
twenty wears, and who saw all the big
wheat crops OF the famous wheat years
harvested. said yesterday that he never
saw such a prospect for big yield as now.
II all the conditions should continue as
favorable from now on as they have proved
since its sowing. there will come IN ne

The PhrenoIorist,. Error.

ITO err is human, and even phrenolo-
gists are human. One of them visited a
school presided over by maiden lady a
few days ago, and expressed desire 70
examine the heads Of some of the fair pu-
pills and deliver lecture to the others.
The principal was willing that her pupils
should have the advantage OF hearing a
scrientific discourse on skullology, but her
soul rose up in revolt at the idea Of man
lingering the craniums of the eve lambs
she was herding. There was struggle
between her desire for the intellectual ad-
vancement of the lambs and her apprehen-
sion for their moral welfare. She settled
the matter by telling the professor Of phre-
nology that he could examine the head Of
q boy and tell the girls what the knots
thereon indicated.
The professor accepted the amendment,
and the principal sent for one Of the JOB
lot Of small boys that were studying In an
adjoining room.
Here is one Of my boys, professor, " said
the principal as the lad entered; you may
examine him"
The professor looked at the youngster a
moment, then said sdmiringly: This boy
has fine face and noble head. He Is the
image OF his mother. Is lie your Oldest
madames"
The principal cast strong glare on the
professor, and replied icily:
II am unmarried, sir.
The professor turned red in the face and
began stammering out an excuse, but the
principal relieved him by saying that she
would prefer for him 70 deliver his lecture
on another day.

FARMS CHANGING HANDS.

We do not know that our local readers
have been keeping run of the real estate
transfers of late as they have appeared in
the EAGLE. The interest in that list has
been somewhat abated for a season, but
those who have been watching it need not
be told that the great bulk of the property
being transferred are farms. An inquiry
into the facts Of the case dis closes the I'M
expected. These farms and quarter sec
tions of unimproved prairie are being pur-
chased principally by Sedgwick county
farmers, and not by spectators, home or
foreign. Hardly one sale in four is made
to a nonresident. There is a per cent of
farmers in the valley who have made
money from the word go, made
it every year in greater or
less sums and they are reaching
onto choice lands adjoining them. These
are the fellows who will be rich with
money to loan to the money loaners them
selves before anybody is aware of what has
happened. Farm lands are going up in
the near future, up and away up and to
stay up Uncle Sam nor uncle anybody
else has got no more vacant arabic lands
within the bounds of these United States,
except the paratively small slice being
now pealed for in the Indian territory.
Those are all and the last. And as popula-
ton is overtaking and passing production,
and the great surplus of the worlds great
stuffs is disappearing, all producing lands
must advance in price. The farmer is to
have his inning and it will be big inning.

schools are very good The work shows
very careful training and patient and
thorough practice on the part of the

are certainly the best we ever saw. And
