KANsAs BEATS MISSOURI.


DR. z. P Miller, who has wheat in two
or three sections of Kansas and Missouri,
returned from the latter state yesterday
morning He says that for two or three
years he has been instituting comparisons
between the wheat fields Of western Mis-
souri, and those of the lower Arkansas val
ley, or, more properly, of southwest Kan
sas, and he says with same or an equal
showing or appearance Of the fields OF
each respectively that the Kansas fields
will Weld from six TO eight bushels more
grain to the acre. lie says that the wheat
in Missouri grows taller, the stalks stand
higher at harvest by from four to eight
inches. with average longer heads, but
that the Missouri heads do not fill like the
Kansas heads. \ further noticeable differ
ence in favor of Kansas is the way the
wheat stools out or spreads so remarkably,
while il only does so in Missouri in linn
tied way Another thing he thinks any
body would notice, and thatsis the surface
of the wheat fields of Missouri at harvest
time stands uneven, serated and rough,
while the grain of the wheat fields OF Kan
sas stand so regularly and of such even
height as to present a surface as smooth as
a body of water. DR.. Miller says that
Kansas will yet be famed as the great win
ter wheat state of the Union.

COPPER ORE

Mr.. \. \. Post, of this city. yesterday
had on exhibition large chunk of copper
ore which came from farm in North Car
DINA. which he and party OF Wichita
gentlemen recently purchased. When in
Tennessee some time last year. he saw
specimens Of the ore. but could find no
one who seemed TO know where il was
found He left q man there for the pur-
pose Of prospecting and received favorable
news from him a short time ago. Mr..
Frank Burt, also interested in the farm,
went 10 North Carolina and immed-
lately bought the land wherein there
IS a vein of ore feet wide
one-lourth mile long and over 500 feet deep.
Mr.. Burt returned yesterday and brought
with him some samples, big chunk Of
which is now on exhibition II solomon 5

perts 70 whom 4 SpeCiman was shown say
that the ore Is superior TO that found IN
Michigan. The gentlemen interested, as
soon as the probable value of the mine is
learned. VIII form a stock company. The
percentage Of the sample exhibited is said
TO contain 70 per cent Of copper,

FOR RoBBING PosroFFIcEs

Deputy Z. S. Marshal, Dan McMurry,
yesterday afternoon arrested L. E. Girard
of this city on the charge of being mem
Der of a gang of post office robbers. He
was taken to Winfield last evening by
Deputy L. S. Marshal, Geo. Walker.
Girard will have a preliminary hearing
before the U. S. commissioners.
Postmaster Z. B. Jewert had been noti-
fed of there being gang ofrobbers abroad
and that a part of them at least were sup
posed to reside at Wichita. For the last
fifteen days Mr.. Jewett has been working
up this matter together with Chief Bur
rows of this city, and finally succeeded,
with the aid of outside parties, of bringing
the matter to the door of Girard.
Ten or twelve postoffices in various parts
of the country have been robbed during
the last six or seven months. Some or
the hauls made were quite heavy, the
booty gotten at one office having amount
ed to over $4,000, The work was done in
such manner which lead the postal in
spectors to come to the conclusion that
the work at the various Offices could be
traced to an organized gang Of robbers.
with one of its headquarters in Wichita,
and it seems that the officers surmise was
a correct one.
The warrant served upon Girard is for
robbing the postoffice at Cambridge, in
Cowley county, which was robbed some
time last January. When United States
Marshal McMurry and Chief Burrows
went to serve the papers on Girard yester
day afternoon. they found him at
his second hand store on West
Douglas avenue. He denies knowing
anything about the matter, and stated
that he didn't know where Cambridg was.
He went along however, and was taken to
Winfield on the first train. At the same
time that Girard was arrested here. five
or six other arrests were made in different
parts of the country. The gang is said to
have another Wichita man in their midst;
one who was raised here and is well
known. who was also arrested. 1t is
thought that this same organization did
the work in Henderson's store q few
weeks ago. Girard is the partner of Mr..
Savage in his business on West Douglas.
The work of running down these rob-
bers has been in progress for some time,
and the United States officers have been
greatly aided by the work done by Post
master Jewett and Chief Charles Burrows
from this point, and when the United
States officers, arrived, congratulated the
gentlemen upon their success.
The officers feel confident that they
have got the right man. OF course,
whether the party in question is guilty or
not, will not be positively known until
after the trial

Intelligence In Mice.

The organs of hearing and smelling in
mice are very efficient; but their eye
sight is, we believe, poor. Their intel
ligence is, we should think, low, as
might be expected from the paucity of
convoIutions in their brains. We sus-
pended a tin of flour at such height
from the ground that our little friends
could not quite jump into it, though the
smell of the food made them very per-
severing in their endeavors TO do so.
We then arranged string SO that by
detour they could get at the good stuff
that way.
One mouse by following that course
attained to the desired goal, but evident
ly by chance, for being startled ont of
the tin, it continued for long while TO
make futile efforts to recover its lost po-
sition by jumping up, never again seek
ing the road which had led it before TO
the object Of its desire. For hours We
have lain in bed watching mice trying
in vain to spring into the tin of -four,
none of them ever perceiving that there
was feasible road leading thereto

A CORRECTION.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
You will be more than happy am sure
to correct mistake, due to an Associate
Press reporter and not to yourself, which
crept into your most excellent paper of
the 9th, 10th and 18th inst, concerning a
sermon preached in St. Louis by Bro.
Tyrrell of the Central Christian church of
said city. On reading the first item l
wrote to J, H. Garrison, editor of the
Christian Evangelist of St. Louis, and
said, ''Can this be true that Bro. Tyrrell
denies the divinity of Christi" His son
replies, Il heard the sermon, which was
grand one and he did not say that he
could not accept the divinity of Christ.
He distinctly stated the exact contrary"
l thank you for your courtesy.

AN INTERESTING SUIT.

One of the most intricate damage cases
ever tried in the district court, is now in
progress before Judge Reed and jury.
1t Is entitled DR.. w. S. McBurnie against
the Citizens Electric company. Senator
o. H. Bentley and J. c. Bentley. Esq, ap-
pear for the plaintiff and Judge II. c.
Sluss represents the defendant. DR.. Nc
Burnie claims that by an explosion of an
incandesant electric light in the Sedgwick
billiard parlor, in the Board of Trade
building on Aug q, 1889, he was seri-
ously and permanently injured. The
shock produced ptosis or paralysis of the
third pair of nerves, bringing on temper
airy loss of vision and injury to his hearing.
DIR. McBurnle claims that his loss of
health, which has been very greatly i'm
paired since he received the shock has great
~ damaged his practice as physician.
The defense claim that they are not liable
in the case, and that it was i'm
possible for DR.. McBurnie to be
injured as he claims. Their pleadings
show a general denial The case is an in
teresting one because it presents a new
question, and one without a precedent in
Kansas practice. 1t is observed that coun-
sci are making considerable effort in the
case. Judge Sluss is working just as
hard, and is as industrious, as though he
had never received an appointment as
Associate Justice to the Land Grant court.
He and Senator Bently frequently ex-
change pleasantries on the subject. The
medical evidence was most carefully
drawn out, and was from some of the
most eminent doctors of the city. There
are some interesting medical questions in
the case Several fine legal questions
were discussed at length, especially ques-
tons involved in the demurrer, which the
court over-ruled. All the evidence is now
in, and most of today will be consumed in
the Judges charge, and the argument of
council

Adams case has been set for the October
term of court at the United States court at
Washington. Judge Shields yesterday re-

was seen by an EAGLE representative a
few days ago, Is very hopeful. He receives
many callers and is always glad to see
them He spends these hot days in his cell
in reading and writing. In his cell are a
pile of books, newspapers and in different
parts of the room are vases of flowers,
which give an appearance or culture and
neatness to the apartment. Adams is
cheerful and stoutly maintains his limo
cence and says that if ever he gets out of
his present trouble will never again be
found behind the bars.

The Ladies' Aid society, of the Dodge
Avenue II. E. church, met in special ses-
sion yesterday afternoon and finished up a
lot of sewing for Mrs. Tudors, the lady
who became insane a few days ago. This
case is indeed a sad one. When she be-
came quieter Thursday, she was taken to
the St. Francis hospital for treatment, but
during the night she became so wild that
she had to be taken back to the county
Jail. She tore up her clothing and bed
ding in the cell and was quite furious all
night. The sewing which the ladies were
doing yesterday is for her and when it is
finished she will be sent to the asylum.
