SERVICES FOR THE MITES.

The services at the South Emporia II.
E. church Sunday morning and evening
were Of a character that are seldom wit
messed in this city, but they were quite
interesting. Rev. Nusbaum preached
both sermons and they were interpreted
in the deaf and dumb sign language by
DR.. Walker of the deaf and dumb college
at Olathe.
There is a religious society OF about
thirty members of these people in and
near the city, who hold their regular
services, have their leaders, officers, ETC..
the same as any other organization. Oc-
casionally they have public services or
meet, as they did this time. with another
society and have the sermon and hymns
interpreted.
After the preaching services Sunday
morning, the mutes recited psalm and
several hymns in their sign language,
which was interpreted by DR.. Walker and
were very interesting indeed.
In conversation with an EAGLE repre-
sentative the doctor stated that through
his Interpretation, the mutes obtained the
same expression and feeling from the
sermons as if they had heard them, and
some of them seemed considerably at
fected thereby, too
Some of the mutes were baptised by
Rev. Nusbaum Sunday afternoon.

THE CITY COUNCIL.

The council met in special session last
night for the purpose of considering griev-
ances on assessments. but none being be-
fore the body they adjourned and the reg
ular meeting of the council was called to
order by Mayor Carey. All the council
men excepting G. P. Glaze were in their
seats. After the reading of the minutes.
which were approved, the regular routine
work was taken up.
At an early stage of the meeting Mr.
Buckeridge called attention to the weeds
which in some places are from six 60 ten
feet high, and that in different parts of
the city and suggested that the street
commissioner get force of men at work
cutting down the troublesome weeds and
sunfowers. Mr.. Tucker objected, as he
believed in retrenchment and thought the
street force should be cut down rather
than increased. Mr.. Caswell inquired
whether the street commissioners had
reported why he failed TO open the ditch
between Lincoln and Harry streets as he
was ordered to do at the last meeting.
After some further deliberations mo-
ton was made and carried that whenever
the city council order a certain piece of
work done, that the commissioner be
obliged to obey the order, or, if for some
reason he does not comply, to report at the
next meeting of the council
1t was decided to rigidly enforce the ordi-
nance referring to trimming the lower
limbs of trees, and also of shrubbery, after
July 10.
The street commissioner was instructed
to notify the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad company to put in crossing
on Kellogg street.
Mr.. Tucker gave notice that at the next
meeting of the council he would present
an ordinance to prohibit the use of alleys
for piling manure, giving certain limits
as to which portion the ordinance is to
effect,

A gentleman who was in the railroad
wreck on the Santa Fe Sunday south OF
Arkansas City gave an EAGLE representa-
tive last night some of the facts in the
case. He said that the accident was caused
by the rails spreading and all but two cars
of the whole train were derailed. damaging
all of them TO some extent. The engine
left the track and rolled over ON its side.
but the GOODNESS and determination shown
by the engineer no doubt saved the loss of
considerable life and property. No one
was injured to any great extent except the
fireman, who had two or three ibis broken
and his left foot mashed. A collection
was taken up among the passengers and
liberal sum was turned over to w. +.
Ogston, auditor of the freight receipts at
Topeka, who was on the train, to be- eX-
pended for a suitable medal for the engi-
neer for his bravery. Mr.. Ogston had

GET READY FOR BUSINESS

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Now that the railroads and people out
side Of the real estate men have put their
chins to tho rosewood, their breasts to the
roller and their money into the work, and
are about to secure for Kansas series Of
excursions to run from August to the
last of October, it seems time that the real
estate leeches that have stuck their beaks
into the sides of the floating newspaper
carcases and,sucked their blood and stole
their thunder without putting up a cent,
had better draw their talons from the al
ready bleeding sides of the newspapers
the bodies on which they feed-and invest
few dollars in honest advertising in these
same newspapers, through which their
very existence and life comes, and from
whose time, capital and talent they expect
to eat, live and exist, and without whom
and which they may as we'll shut up shop
or stop kicking the curb. The newspaper
of today is the great motor of all business
and commercial life. 1t is the electricity
OF trade, and the man who lives without
il is wart, and he who lives upon it and
sneaks away from his just contributions
and honor bound obligations, is glutton
invulnerable and beyond the whips and
scores that make men decent or business
bearable.
These excursions are coming and every
man that is in it should square himself
and shake out few dollars and show your
eastern friends that you are alive. Don't
steal any more free advertising. Give up
few dollars. and get your name in print
honestly again. and see how you feel
Think of 1t, fifeeen excursions coming to
Kansas and you laying around sniping
some one else's hard work and money. For
shame! Put big card in the paper, just
as if you had never been out of business or
living on the heart strings of the hackers
of our Countrywide newspapers.
The railroads are going to do more adj
and if you don't do some it will be because
you want something for nothing.
If you expect any salvation you have got
to help oil the journals. They won't go
without grease.
Let everybody drive a tack.
Kansas has more to show. and Wichita
more to show and expect than any other
place.
Don't sit on box and listen to the
band. Get something and help make music
for Kansas will have the biggest concert
on earth this fall.
Think of it. an excursion every Wednes-
day, and let the brethren know you are
alive.
You are good fellow but it is so long
since anybody heard of you they think you
are dead. Put your advertisement in the
paper and let them know you are still in
the best state in the union and you'll
never regret it. Brace up. boys, brace up,
and be men again. HALE CoWLEY.

and grandchild of ex-Congressman Darl-

parents, in East Bradford, Of an attack OF
diphtheria. The death of the child was a
distressingly sad one. and his great and
unexpected loss is a terrible blow to his
parents, who had expected spending a
pleasant summer in their old home in the
east. The facts OF the sickness and death
of this interesting and very pretty 5-year-
old boy are these: Last winter Mr.. and
Mrs Cooper moved out to Wichita, Kan,
where they intended making their future
home. Mrs. Cooper and her children left
the west TO spend the summer months in
West Chester and East Bradford, the
family aud Miss Darlington, sister of
Mrs. Cooper, taking their departure on
Tuesday. Before leaving little Smedley
showed signs OF illness and was little
feverish. The family physician at Wichita
was consulted but he pronounced it a
bilious attack, and despite the fact that
the parents said his throat was little
sore and swollen, the physical n remarked
