cule that was shameful 1.-THE
dumb class" is another institution
of this same school, which in
my judgment reaches back rather far, for
this day and age, without it be formed Of
the teachers who have no moro judgment
than to apply such names to the pupils,
she ought to be able to teach, but owing
to position only insult. 1t occurs to me
that the superintendent ought to investi-
gate these things, and if he has any duty
to perform it should be to recommend the
immediate dismissal ofsuch teachers. Our
city pays salaries sufficient to demand the
best talent in the country, and we should
not be compelled to retain in sour schools
teachers. who would stoop to placing an
indignity upon the humblest and poorest
and blacklist pupil in our city. Every
teacher should be possessed of good breed
ing enough to treat every boy and girl as
gentleman and lady. Our boys and girls
know as readily. and feel as keenly an in
suit or indignity as any teacher in the city
and they should always apply the golden
rule" Respectfully, J. w.

KANSAS vs.. NEBRASKA.

Messrs. Lewis Sutfin and Dennis Newly,
farmers from Saline county, Neb., were In
town last week. confering with real estate
men, for the purpose of purchasing farms
in this vicinity. Both gentlemen own
farms in Nebraska, but have opportunities
to sell, but before doing so came to south
ern Kansas to look up a location.
They were well pleased with the general
features of this and adjoining counties
and claim that the wheat prospect in this
part of the state excels that of Nebraska
or northern Kansas.
They looked at several farms but did
not buy, as they saw so many bargains
they thought they would risk sulting
themselves after selling out and coming
here. Both gentlemen asserted that we
have superior soil to that portion of Ne
braska where they live and that farm
lands are considerably cheaper as yet;
hence their desire TO change locations.

THE GROWTH OF BUSINESS AT OUR
STOCK YARDS

The receipts of hogs have been larger
this week than for any week in the his
tory of the yards. being an average of
2.214 per day, or a total of 49, OF this
number local packers have consumed
about 1000, or two-thirds of the total re-
ceipts. The hogs that were bought for
shipment, except those for packers at dis
tant points, were pigs and lights and were
unfit for use in the packing houses here.
The receipts of cattle were 7s7, or an
average of 131 per day. Most of the cattle
received were poor grade, and shippers
were the only buyers who would take
them.
The business at the yards for this week
and the week before, goes to prove that
there has been a permanent growth in this
one of Wichita's Enterprises. Packers
from as far east as Indianapolis have
learned the advantages Of placing their
orders in the hands of parties
here, and shippers from the surrounding
country and from Oklahoma have received
the best prices that the general market of
the country would warrant buyers in pay
ing.
The increased demand felt here during
this and last week is not temporary one.
as the local buyers intend to buy in the
future jsst as literally as they have dur
ing the past two weeks, and it is not I'M
likely that as other outside packers be-
come acquainted with the facilities af-
forded at these yards for getting what
stock they want shipped direct to them
from here, without any inconvenience,
that they will follow the example of those
who have already placed their orders here.
The more of such customers that are
gained the larger will be the business
of the yards. and the enterprising men
who have charge of them Will not stop
laboring to make the market prominent
one until it rivals the older ones of the

a BEAUTIFUL HOME CITY.

A capitalist. who has large interests in
the west and in Texas, and who has been
spending a week in Wichita on business,
said yesterday that he had concluded, If
his wife should consent, to make Wichita
his future home He said to the banker,
with whom he was talking, that he had
seen many places south, north, east and
west, but that Wichita was the prettiest,
the most beautiful city he had ever seen,
and that DO probable or even possible
growth could ever rob it of its SYLVAN at
traction. Thirteen hundred feet above sea
level, supplied with an amending album
dance of the clearest crystal waters, en-
powered with shade trees. with such in
terminably stretches of shaded streets and
open valley in the distances of every direc-
ton, be considered Wichita without q

WILL HUN THE SPRING.

Crops may occasionally fail and
squeezes may continue to periodically
occur, but the life OF the streets
of Wichita, it would seem, is bound
TO 90 on forever. Where all of the
thousands of people who crowded the
sidewalks of our business thoroughfares,
yesterday, came from, and what they all
wanted, we did not even hear a conjecture,
farther than the guess that they must
have come by rail, or that they belonged
hereaboutS, yet certain it is that they
were of innumerable throngs and all bent
on something of seeming importance
There are no such other streets TO be
found in any other town or city OF Kansas
The sidewalks on both sides Of Douglas
avenue for at least one mile Of that street.
and the sidewalks of Main stree, for
three quarters of mile and those on MAJ
ket for third Of a mile were throughout
portions OF the day and a rush and jam.
Things promise to hum in the spring.

WHO WAS IT.

Ed Morse has sprung into prominence
in Utah by rescuing a young man who
formerly resided at Wichita, from a hor-
rible death The Wichita young man had
gone up into the mountains on hunt and
while there was attacked by two Indians.
4 bloody fight ensued, one Of the Indians
was killed and the Wichita boy severely
wounded. Fortunately for the boy, Ed
Morse, brother of Sheriff Morse Of this
city, happened along and the other Indian
was put 70 flight. Ed managed to get the
injured man to place Of safety and then
hurried for doctor. THERE'S no cowardice
in Eds make up.-Welrngton Mail

ABOUT THE FAIR.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
l notice in your issue of the 23d ms slant,
that the Fair association has had meet
ing and elected officers for the year 1891 /
also notice what you say about the future
fairs partaking of the character of an
exposition, and suggesting that all put
their shoulder to the wheel in order that
there may be such one as will be credit
able to our city, our county and the great
southwest. There can DE no doubt as to
the benefits such enterprises are TO com
munity, for if any had existed, the fair Of
last year must cave demonstrated that
fair properly handled can benefit the whole
community contiguous TO It's location.
Now as a business man of Wichita l am
ready to put my shoulder to the wheel
and render any assistance in my power to
help push the 1891 exposition, either by
money, gift or by a subscription to a
guarateed fund. and | am sure there Is
not business man in our city who is not
ready to do as much. ! would suggest
that the Fair association call meeting of
business men at the Board of Trade rooIhs
or some other central point, and then'and
there present to us their ideas and needs,
and predict that the proverbial "glt up
and git" of Wichita will show itself.

ANOTHER SCHOOL" OPINION.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
am IN hearty accord with the senti-
ments expressed in the communications
relating to the treatment of our children
in the public schools, which have recently
appeared in your paper. | wish to add my
testimony on a topic spoken Of by "F y.
D." and &C. / refer TO the instructions
given 10y the teachers requiring scholars to
study at home We are al anxious to
have our children progress in their studies
and to that end are willing TO render all
the assistance in our power But in my
opinion. the teachers are asking too much
when they insist that homes shall be turn
cd into school rooms, and hours applied 10
study which should be devoted 20 much
needed recreation. School hours alone.
are the proper hours for study. If the
teachers see fll, or If il suits their convent
enCe to divert them. why should both parent
and pupil be the ones 20 suffer. Only
such lessons should be given a. can be

attention TO another feature of our model
schools. About every two weeks each

a short half hour i devoted to teaching
these branches Does il stand 10 reason
that such brief and widely scattered les
sons can be OF any benefit In these hard
times. when il Is with difficulty that prop
erty owners can pay their taxes, 10 would
seem eXpedient 10 either abolish such
studies or have them taught by the re-
speCtive teachers. There is no question
but what the pruning knife of retrench-
ment could be happily applied 10 our

As the criticism Of the public schools
seem to be the order, l will contribute
mine, with your permission. l endorse all
that has been said in regard TO the tardy

they happen te be two or three minutes

unwarranted by the law. And the teacher

HE BOUGHT.

The laugh is now on George McNesl. the
barber One day last week while shaving
a customer, he began praising the virtues
of a certain hair tonic of which he uses no
small amount. This led TO an argument
on the worth Of the article, his customer
claiming that Sl25 per bottle was too
much. While the argument was going on
his customer managed 70 slip a bottle Ia
his pocket without being noticed, and
then offered TO bet him that be could get
the same thing, in town, for seventy-flve
cents. On this proposition he agreed 10
take all that he could get The next day
his customer return ed and sold him his
bottle Of hair tonic for seventy-dve cents.
Ask him the price Of hair tonic.

sEDGwICK COUNTY TEACHERS ASSOCIA-
TION.

The teachers of the county met yester-
day afternoon at Lewis Academy, and
were favored with some very interesting
papers and discussions.
Mr. J. NJ Parker read paper on 1.-The
Method of Teaching Compound Proper
ton" He gave his experience as a pupil
and as a teacher, and said he had never
yet been able to understand the subject,
or see its importance in arithmetic, for the
problems can be solved by analysis. The
discussion was led by Mr.. II. NJ. Cutter
who said analysis had in place,
and 50 had proportion, and
he would teach it by cause and effect
Mr.. r. w. Craig read very interesting
paper on The Trials and Triumphs of a
Country School Teacher" "The Teachers
Power" was discussed by Mr.. G. A. Walk
er and J. X. Relish. Every teacher may
exert some good influence, no matter how
bad the pupil The teacher is second to
the parent.
Mr.. j. Il. Haven gave a very interesting
talk on Teaching Reading in High
Grades" He said the lessons should be of
average length and the pupil taught to get
the sense of the piece rather than spend
ali his time learning to pronounce hard
words.
The association was favored with a talk
from Prof. Minnick. of Hutchinson. Prof.
Pence spoke of the new reading circle for
the teachers of Kansas. The laws of Indi
ana compel her teachers to follow a course
of reading for self culture, and Kansas, the
