ORGAN RECTTAL
We are glad to be able to xnnource that
Mr.. Henry McLachlan has completed all
arrangements TO give another fine organ
recital in our city
Music lovers particularly win avail
themselves of this opportunity TO hear a
genuine organ yirtuoso. The program
which viii be produced will contain many
novelties net before heard in Wichita
Mr.. McLachlan has decided TO give some
numbers from the world famous ''CowaI-
leuo Rusticana" which has created sueh a
furere among musicians in Europe and
the east.
Never in this generation has so much
praise been lavished and heaped upon an
unknown musician in so brief period.
Even Wagner's great ''Siegfried' cannot
claim such appreciation and so much en-
thusiasm as ''Rusticana" did in its first
appearance.
We are sure such program as is in pre-
parasion will be heartily appreciated. We
viii announce tomorrow the names of
local artists who viii assist at the recital
Next Monday evening has been fixed as
the date, and we are sure large and fash
ionabie audience will be present.

THEY Will NAks coon FUEL.

To the Editor Of the Eagie,
Now is the favorable time to encourage
tree-cutting along the streets in the older
section Of the city. In many places at
least c1e-half the trees should be cut
down. euite a number have already
taken .,vice OF the EAGLE in this
matter Others should do likewise and
everyone interested in the beautyfytlg OF
our streets, and proper sanitary condit-
ions should agitate this question until all
properly owners are made to see the ad-
vantage in having less shade, aud the re-
naming trees of more stately aud uniform
proportions. Hundreds Of cords OF wood
will be had By cutting out these trees-the
fuel meeting the expense. providing work

He Was Sorry for the Horse.

The driver Of coal cart was trying to
back up to the curb in Hester street the
other day, bat it was more than the
horse could accomplish, and the usual
result followed. That is, instead of aid
ing the horse the driver began abusing
him. Among the FIVE or six people who
halted was a middle aged man, who was
little tipsy. He stepped TO the front at
once and held up his hand and requested
the driver te stop.
What's this to your" was the indig-
nant demand.
"Nozzing, shur-nozzing,' was the rs-
ply.
''Oh, IL isn't! I didn't know but you
wanted TO give me some advice"
''Nozzer, I don't. don't want to shay
a single word to you, but I should like
'er opportunity TO tell 'er horse how
blamed sorry am that e wasn't born

TO reach your cart once IN swhile!s-New

BEWARE OUR sNICKsRsNEE.

Thrice is he armed that hath his quar-

is just as well TO be armed with something
a little more scary like with a hint of

On one of these. trips.two or three years ago
when wandering about the shipping he

who had recently been on a Mongolian
battlefield somewhere in Thibet, and be-
fore the dead had been buried, he picked
up several two-hand swords-the blades
of which were all stained with oriental
gore. Cash inanciered the traveller out of
one of these head decapitatOrs which he
has ever since kept. Yesterday morn

to US as present, not so
much as a guaranty of his loyalty,
but to show his sympathy for the danger

EN- barked, the scheme of diffusing knowl-
edge of general character among our
more prominent educators. In vulgar
paIlancs, the weapon is a dandy, and woe
betide the aggressor who belligerantly

For the Eagle
THE EDITOR.

IT'S well to be good natured,
When unawares we're taken,
As it sometimes fills the vacancy
That learning hath forsaken.
The editor sat In his sanctum,
Woolng some plan or scheme
By which he could give the EAGLE
An extra head OF steam.
With the rumpus-loving nature
That true born editors wear,
be pined for some new deviltry,
As he scratched his 6urnt-gold hair.
At last he bounded upright,
I'll throw a bomb, cried he,
IN the house of the learned. just TO find
What the effect VIII be.
And he called up six reporters,
Prancing, and ready for fight,
As he armed them with seven questions
Which he'd learned to answer right.
Hence to the heads of learning,
Bring back their answers today:
Say that tomorrow the world shall know
Every word they say.
Say III accept no quarters;
The questions are such that they

To see the beheaders beheaded.
And when they saw their signatures
Proceed some child-like blUnder,
There were little flicks of lightning
And little thumps Of thunder.
And now, should you enter the sanctum-
Ali me-, you may well turn white
For burnt-gold hair is sticking
To everything in sight.
Naught else Of that mighty presence
That shook this famous town,
Save little hat and a remnant
OF his erstwhile sanetum gown.

THE K. P. BALL.
1t wss Unquestionabiy the Most Brilliant
Affair OF tie Season.

The annual grand ball of the Knights of
| Pythias came off at the Garfield hall last
| night and no one will deny it to be the
| finest and most brilliant event of the kind
| that has taken place here this year The
crowd was not large, but it was select and
there was sufficient room on the neatly
waxed floor for every Knight to swing his
partner and for every partner 20 swing her
train. 1t was brilliant gathering, too
The knights were dressed in their gay
! uniforms and the gentlemen who were not
knights were strictly in it, so far as full
dress suits were concerned. No old people
were present and only one solitary bald
head could be seen among the dancers.
The ladies were more numerous than the
gents. They, too, were stylishly dressed.
1t can't be said they were in full dress
suits for many of the garments
lacked a good deal of being full, particu-
larry abont the arms and shoulders They
were handsome ladies, too, for knight of
Pythias is always sure of having good
looking girl by mis- side when he goes iuto
society. Il has always been said that
there are more pretty girls 20 the square
inch in Wichita than in any other city in
the west, and last nights gathering abun-
dainty demonstrated the truth of
the assertion. To sum the whole matter
up the gathering consisted of the beauty
and chivalry of the Peerless Princess and
many a tender hearted knight from
neighboring cities went home with badly
smashed heart
The hall was gorgeously decorated with
bunting, mottos, flowers and strings of
evergreen. The orchestra stand was es-
pecially neat. The orchestra played
behind a network of flowers and every
strain of music as it waited through the
hall was laden with the odor of some sweet
rose
The music was furnished by Shaw's
orchestra, and as matter of course it was
grand, for on this occasion the Gilmore of
Wichita picked the very best players in the
city. The musicians were dressed in
full dress suits with richly tinselated caps
and they, too. looked handsome. In fact,
everything and everybody in the hall
looked handsome. Even the big stove in
the corner of the building blushed and
looked gay.
The grand march took place at q few
minutes past 9 o'clock, and was led by
Mr.. and Mrs. Captain Payne. At IL
o'clock refreshments were served, and be-
tween l and 2 o'clock the ball broke up
and each Sir knight and bis Juliette went
home fully convinced that the ball was
one of the great social events of the season.

Timid Gas Lamps.

The gas furnished up in Harlem Is OF
very inferior quality, and consequently
the streets are very poorly lighted, but
they are allowed to burn until after day
light. a stranger who had been up all
night asked a German policeman on
Amsterdam avenue:
''Why do the gas lights burn all night
in this town.

rRoLlo AaIoNe THE OLD SWISS SETTLERS

The 18th day of December was, as usual,
celebrated in grand style among the Swiss
down on the Minnesota. To let the people
know the object of the celebration, it is
necessary to explain what happened in the
city of Geneva, Switzerland, on December
II 1902:
The Savoyards. name Of the people who
inhabit Savoy, country situated south of
the canton of Geneva, came, all armed to
the the teeth on the night of the 18th day
of December, 1902, and bombarded and
tried to take the beautiful city of Geneva,
and annex it to their country. Of course
the inhabitants of that burg had to get
out to fight and defend their homes the
best they could, most of them being in
their night clothes Anyway, there was
hard fighting. but by daylight the follow
ing day, the Savoyards were entirely
whipped anu scared back, and the whole
affair turned to be regular carnival.
The anniversary of this date is cele-
brated every year in this country, espec-
tally among the French speaking Swiss,
which live along the Minnesota river
south of Clearwater. The occasion took
place this year at the splendid little home
Of Mr. Alphonse Ducret, three and half
miles south of Clearwater. The feast
opened by nice speech made by the presi-
dent of the colony, Mr.. Louis Geisendorf,
and which On account of space will be left
out.
At o'clock sharp the guests were all
seated to a beautiful table richly laden
with excellent eatables, all cooked and put
up in the old Swiss style, by the expert
enced cook, Mrs. Augustine Ducret.
