MOONLIGHT ON THE LAKE.

In the autumnal cleaning, sad and chill.
The moorland mere In silent snmbcr lay;
Unrufled were its waters, darkly gray.
And all its sentinel reeds stood stiff and still;
The peewit's last good night fell clear and
shrIIl,
The west was dusky brown with dying day,
When came across the heather far away,
The CLEAN of moonrise DER the distant hill.
Like fame that flashes through the cannon
smoke
A full moon climbed above the swaying ifs
The rushes felt that herald breeze Of hers:
They whispered to the water that awoke,
Athwart its face a golden ripple broke,
And the queen kissed her nightly worshipers.

YESTERDAY MoRNING'S FIRE.

About $50 o'clock yesterday morning the
fire alarm WAS turned in from the Carey
hotel. TO which the department responded
with their usual alertneSs. The fire proved
to be in the Hacker * jackson building,
the upper floors of which are occupied as a
lodging apartment.
The fire department soon controlled the
flames by the use of the Babcock chemical
engine, but their investigation showed
that the building had been cosl-oiled and
fired in four different places, but only two
OF them caught A fine piano, which had
been filled with coal oil and fired, was be
yond reach when they got there. OF
course considerable other damage was
done. but the quick work of the fire de-
psrtment stopped the entire execution OF
the plot as it was doubtlessly planned.
Policeman Reynolds speedy manner of
sending in the alarm and the assistance he
gave after their arrival. was commended
by the department

THE MULE AS AN INVENTION.

| To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Yours asking for the geneology of the
mule is to hand. 1t is a matter of sur
prise that most of our famous writers have
neglected or ignored the subject. Long
fellow nor Washington Irving do not
allude to it in any of their works and
Peter Farley only devotes half page, the
most of which is taken up by picture OF
the animal You are wrong in surprising
the mule aud jack rabbit are of kindred
families. There is a similarity between
the ears aud tail but it don't extend any
farther. The jack rabbit is good to eat if
YOU can't get anything else, but who ever
heard of an epicure combining himself to
mule diet when he could help himself.
| The mule strictly speaking, IS not of the
original animal species. Have examined
many Noah's srks and never found any
traces Of him. A geo!oGist once found
what he supposed WAS a mules hoot en-
bedded IN solid rock, but Prof. Iyndale
pronounced it that of a horse that bad
been foot-foundered, proving that founder
WAS known To the ancients, and no doubt
many valuable animals were ruined il the
dark ages hy that mysterious disease. The
mule is simply an invention OF man.
There Is a controversy among the ssges
whether he is an Improvement on nature.

AN OBJECTION.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The last indignity imposed upon the
suffering public from cheap advertisers is
that of painting their ad. or name on the
front of the parking boards. Will the city
council ever get to the point where they
will pass ordinances prohibiting the use of
of telephone. telegraph, electric light
poles, the shade trees and the parking
boards for bulletin boards and cheap signs.
These poles at best are unsigntly enough
when kept clean. l do wish the council
would have some style about them and
encourage the people living along the resi-
dent streets in their efforts to beautify
their premises, and compel these Cheap
John advertisers to do their business in a
legitimate way, and not be allowed to
deface other peoples surroundings.

A CANNING FACTORY WANTED.

Undoubtedly no more promising open
ing for profit for experience and capital
can be found, than that of a large fruit
and vegetable canning industry in this
city 1t was declared yesterday by an OBJ
servant business man that millions of
bushels of peaches would inevitably go to
waste in Sedgwick county this year. We
are not prepared to vouch for the declara-
ton, but it is certain that hundreds of
thousands of bushels can never find a
market under existing demands. And
peaches will not be the only fruit surplus.
What a harvest this would make for a big
canning factory. Yet this is not the great
est inducement This is a valley in
which tomatoes, peas, beans and sweet
corn crops never fail. Catsups by
the tierce and tank could be
manufactured and bottled here at prices
which would command all markets. Again,
Wichira's railway facilities, her wholesale
distributing rates, are hardly second in
Importance to the others named Besides
her wholesale grocer concerns have wide
field to supply with every description of
canned goods. Taking everything with
consideration, the advantages afforded by
Wichita rs central point, the abundance
of the fruit and vegetables produced in
this vicinity and the fact that this is
already the greatest and most successful
fruit market in the west and it would
seem that capitalists of experience would
lump for the opportunity.

Inspection AND BALL.

The semi-annuai inspection of company
A. of the Second regiment, National
Guards, and also the inspection of section
A of the First Light artillery. occurred

In the fore part of the evening the artil-
lery inspection hy Gen. Murray Myers and
staff took place. The company musters
soma thirty-fye men. The company a
week or so ago received new recruits who
were put into line at once. Gen. Myers
spoke in the highest terms OF the section
and eomplimsnted the officer. Capt. Willis
Metcalf and Lieut.. MundeEello for the ex-
cellent work and discipline manifested
After the artillery inspection the Light
Infantry, thirsy-six of ths best young
men OF this city, dressed in their
handsome gay, uniforms, were drawn
up in line for inspection, which
was made by Adjs. Gen. Roberts,
of Topeka, and j. H. Ricksecker, of Ster-
ling, colonel of the Second regiment of the
National Guards of Kansas. Col Rick
seeker is On tour OF inspection, having
visited some companies on his way. He IS
accompanied on his tour by AdJt Gen.
Roberts. and his adjutant, II. l. Laskey,
DR.. Todd, the regimental surgeon, and
Lieut.. r. E. Morris of company H. He Is
also accompanied by Corp. Don Ricksecker,
little son of the colonel. After the In
spection and drill Gen. Roberts stated TO
an EAGLE representative that company A
of Wichita was the finest IN the state BE
thought the city had reason TO feel proud
of the company. The new uniforms, he
said. were the finest in the state beyond a
doubt. He complimented the officers,
Capt Osborne and Lieut.. Runyan, es-
pecially, and stated that IN drilling the
company had no equal and was superior TO
any in the state.
Col. Richards said he was very proud of
the company. He also complimented the
untiring efforts of the officers in drilling
them, and that he knew OF no company
who had so active and earnest officers as in
! the persons of Capt. Osborne and Lieuten-
ants Runyon and Gordon. He further
stated that the standing of the young men
in the city society was a great factor IN
their efficacy as good soldiers. He said
that in fact company A. of the Second reg
iment of National Guards, was the pride
of the state.
After these exercises the music and
dancing began. A very pleasant time was
had by those present. About thitry-iive
couples were on the floor.
