Duty FIK>T

Judge Reed is still holding court and
trsnsacting the business of the public
with his usual careful ness and dispatch
Notwithstanding the fact that if he con-
suited his personal interests he would be
out electioneering A friend speaking to
him yesterday asked him why he was not
giving more attention to his campaign
and it is SAID that be answered him by say
ing that the people paid him FOR attending
to their business and that he did not think
it proper to receive money from the state
for time spent workin- in his own inter
ests It may seem little strange but it is
nevertheless a fact that since the cam
paign began Judge Reed has not lost a
second Of the time he is supposed to hold
court. This fact demonstrates his faith
fuluess as public servant and is making
hundreds OF votes for him on every side.

A LITTLE MISTAKE.

In yesterday mornings EAGLE il was
stated that the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jake
Harmon had been blessed with 2 little
baby. Usually when homes are blessed IN
this manner, the parents know something
about it, but in this case they didn't. In
fact Jake didn't know anything about it
till he came on his beat last night when a
number of friends approached him and
proceeded to go through his vest pockets
for kthe customary cigar. Explanations
followed and Jake became very much en-
barrassed. The whole thing was mistake
OF the intelligent news gatherer. It was the
home of Officer Osborn that had been
blessed and to him belongs the credit for
increasing the population of the Peerless
Princess. In the meantime the mother
and baby are doing we'll and Mr. Osborn is
footing the cigar bills.

KNOCKED DOWN BY A MULE,

A stupid bov riding an equally stupid
mule came within an ace of seriously hurt
ing an old gentleman on the corner of
Lawrence and Douglas avenues last night.
The old gentleman was crossing the street
when the mule came in contact with him,
knocking him down and literally walking
over him. Fortunately the mule didn't
step on his body. but nevertheless the col
lision hurt him badly about the shoulders.
When the boy rider saw what he had done
through his carelessuess he spurred the
mule and galloped away before the police
had time to get him. A number of young
fellows who were going to the opera house
started after him and would have thumped
him pretty vigorously if they could have
got their hands on him. The old gentle
man was put in hack and sent to his
home on Seneca street.

THAT MILL DEAL.
The Missouri Men Propose to Be In It by
Coming to Wichita

The sale of half interest in the Hy-
draulic mills to Messrs. Cowgirl & Hill of
Carthage, mention Of which was made in
yesterday mornings EAGLE, is reported to
be one of the most important deals made
in several months in this city. Mr.. Gilbert,
who made the sale, is delighted over it,
not because of the pecuniary profits that
resulted therefrom, but because of the
great advantage the mill will be TO
Wichita under its new management. The
new firm will be Cowgirl, Hill & Lewis.
and it will start ont with business CAPT
tai of $4,000 to operate the business with.
which Is enough TO insure success. The
first move that will be made is the en-
largement of the capacity of the mills to
200 barrels per day. To do this, extra
machinery will be needed, and nothing
but the latest and best will be put in.
Other Improvements will be made
and it is predicted that inside of
three months the mill will be one
of the finest in the west. The
Missouri gentlemen are not only men of
prominence in their native state as capt.
talists, but they are also practical millers
who have been in the business in Missouri
for over twenty years. They are also
shrewd financial men. and Mr.. Hill is at
the head of the bank of Carthage, one of
the most substantial financial institutions
in the state of Missouri.
They had two objects ia coming here.
The first is that they fully realize, after
careful figuring, that Wichita is destined
to be not only the largest city in Kansas
but the wheat and -four center of the
southwest. They are aware Of the
fact that the day is not far dis
tant when a large elevator will be |
erected here and when it will be to the |
wheat growers Of the great state of Kan
sas and the Indian Territory what Min |
neapolis is to Minnesota and the north |
west. Their second reason is that they /
desire to advance closer to their Gus
toners. Their Carthage mills have a |
in Texas and they propose to |
reach closer to it and it is probable that in
the future all, or mostly all, the Texas |
trade will be supplied from here. The |
wheat can be bought cheaper at this point |
han at Carthage, aud the saving of
freight one way on wheat and the other
way on -four would be a material advdnt-
'ge to them in their competition with
lther mills

BOTH HANDS SHOT OFF.
Private Harry Parks OF the Militia Receives
Probably Fatal Wounds.

At noon yesterday Officer Dan Parks of
the metropolitan police force, received a
telegram from Arkansas City stating that
his son Harry had been seriously wounded,
and asking him to come there at once. As
no train was due, he had to wait till 8 p.
M, when he and Mrs. Parks left, not
knowing at the time how serious the acct
dent was. A short while after another
dispatch came stating that the boy was
seriously, but not dangerously wounded,
and at 10 o'clock a dispatch came saying
that both hands had been shot of.
Chief Burrows also got dispatch from
John Conley, between 10 and II p. NJ, say
ing that the young man was badly
wounded and perhaps would die.
An EAGLE reporter met the
train at the depot at 8 O'clock
expecting to see some one who knew the
particulars. One man was found who
was present when the accident occurred,
and he felt satisfied that young Parks
could not survive bis injuries. He stated
that the accident was coused by the pre-
mature explosion Of a cannon. Parks
was loading the cannon with powder and
Was ramming the charge in when the ex-
plosIon took place. No cause was assigned
for the explosion except possibly that it
was caused by the powder being pounded
too hard with the ramrod. When the ex-
posion occurred the hands of young
Parks were seen flying with the ramrod,
while the balance of his body was thrown
fully twenty feet from where he stood.
He was rendered unconscious at once and
remained unconscious until the train left
It was stated down there that be could
not live and he thought he would net sur |
vive the night. One hand was cut off at
the wrist and the other hand half way be-
tween the wrist and the elbow. Harry
Parks is II years old and is a member Of
company A, Second artillery. He is a
very large boy of his age, weighing over |
100 pounds. The boys of the company all |
liked him, as he is of a very happy and /
good-natured disposition.

to Fort Smith for trial. but under the
United States law 10 one can send him
there but the United States judge who
presides over the district in which be has
been arrested, and who is now sitting at

wHEKE ARE THE PAPERS.

A party of Wichita ladies who were out
driving yesterday afternoon met with
quite an exciting adventure. The four
ladies were travelling west on Maple street
for an afternoon drive. When they were
about three miles west of the university.
near little grove which lies near the road,
they We're attracted by the cries of little
child. Investigating they found little
girl in the hands of rough looking fellow.
When the ladies drove up the fellow took
to his heels. The girl was taken to
neighboring farm house where the child
stated that she had been on the way to
neighbors house and was met by the fell
low, a supposed tramp who wanted to
know where her father kept certain
papers, of which she knew nothing about.
The ehilds name i z sic Former, and is the
daughter of Silas Former, a well TODD farm
eF living about -four miles w-st of town.
The authorities were notified but it is
thought that they can do nothing, as it is
hardly probable that the little girl could
recognize the fellow. The ladies in the
buggy saw him and describe him of med
ium height, with black hair aud smooth
face. The matter has caused not little
excitement

IS ALUM PoIsoNoUse
Halls Journal of Health


'fThis question has caused a good deal
| of discussion. Alum IS used by many
bakers TO whiten their bread, enabling
| them to use an inferior -four. Il is most
extensively employed as cheap substitute
| for cream of tartar in the manufacture of
| baking powders. Il has not been con-
| sidered Immediately dangerous; although
if continued it produces dyspepsia and OBJ
stinate constipation. But the fact that
many cases of poisoning have occurred
! from the Use OF alum, puts the question in
! a more serious aspect, and prudent people
will exercise caution IN the selection Of
baking powders"
Under what conditions then, does this
| su6stance-formerly used only for me-
chanical or medicinal pUrpOses-become
| poisonousS They are certainly obscure,
and at present we can only SurmlSe what
! they may be, We suspect that the cause
exists in the individual poisoned; some
popularity of the constitution producing a
morbid change in the secretions of the
stomach, with which the alum com bines
and forms an active poison; or the secre-
tions may be healthy but IN unusual pro-
portions, and that these less or greater
proportions in combination with the alum
constitute a poison"
For example, two parts OF mercury and
two parts of chlorine form caiOmel, which
Is not poisonous, but change the proper
tions to one part mercury and two parts Of
chlorine, and we get corrosive sublimate,
which Is deadly poison.
Then, again, we know nothing OF the
constitutional peculiaritIes. Why is it that
one person can eat all kinds of green
fruits and vegetables with impunity, while
the same course might cost another indi-
vidual his HfeS One person can handle
