TALL GIRLS TO BLAME.
They Are Responsible for Short Mems
High Heels and Hats.

High Heels and hats.
'Put two extra lifts on the heel" ac'
companied an order to shoemaker.
'sTally another victim of the tall girl, y
the shoemaker remarked.
GLOW is that?" asked the reporter
for the New York Sun.
''Why, there are so many tall girls
nowadays that the average height OF
men must be raised. Up to few years
ago the lowest heel was the rage, but
now the heel is decidedly higher fig
ure it between half and threc-quarters
of an inch. 1t is all the growth of re-
cent years. 1t isn't fashion, either, for
| you'll not find the high heel among tall
men. It's only among the little fellows
| who try to add to their height but ever
so little. But even half an inch counts
in q mans height A few years ago a
man of five feet six was seldom over
topped by lady. Now the man of five
feet eight is not infrequently looked
down on. don't suppose any city in
the world can show so many tall girls
as are to be seen in Broadway, Four
teenth and Twenty-third streets these
days. They are not thin girls, either,
but well-proportioned and solidly built,
which makes their height all the more
eyasperating to an understood man.
You see, by adding little to his heels
and to his hat man just under the av-
erage can lift himself up to it."
81 wouldn't be surprised il the tall
girl has great deal to do with boom
ing our high-hat trade" a Broadway
halter said. sit must be, for none of
my tall customers has asked for a higher
hat. Those who have worn felts and der
by crowns still wear them, but have
observed a steady change from low to
high tops for my short customers
think sometimes that the tall girl is re-
sponsible for this change, because a
five foot six inch customer came in here
not long ago and asked for my highest
hat. He had good pair of shoulders
and could carry it well, but he had al
ways worn low hat. l asked him why
he changed. ''Oh, I've changed girls
and the new one is about half an inch
taller than /. If L get high hat it viii
even us up when we appear on the
street.
A Twenty-third street dealer in worn-
ems shoes has felt the influence of the
tall girl. eve have customers now to
whom we cater with low heels" he
said. "rhe tall girl differs from man
in not being proud of her height. She
knows Il little girl is more likely to be
esteemed a1fectionate and loving by the
men than is tall girl. So she tries to
get down to the loving level. Then,
again, she knows that the little girls
have more chance of securing beaux,
for the tall girl must restrict her hopes
to the average-sizcd or tall men. Short |
men do not like to go out with girls |
several inches taller, and so fall back |
on the petite. So, where men are hav-
ing their heels made extra high, girls
and women are having theirs lowered.
What is true of tall girls shoes is equal
ly true in regard to their hats. They
are lowering them. too, and the fiat hat
is as sure to come in again as it is that
the tall girl is here to-day"

COLONEL H. w. LEWIS SPEECH.

The speech made by Colonel H. w.
Lewis of Wichita, III placing Colonel
Murdoch in nomination before the state
convention at Topeka, Thursday even
ing, has been very highly eulogzed by
the press and by all who heard it, as a
magnificent personal tribute not only,
but as a splendid forensic effort as well.
For the qualification of the EAGLE S
readers it presents herewith the Capitals
report of Colonel Lewis nominating
speech. Prefaclng the speech the Capt.
tai said:
"The demonstration for Colonel Muir
dock almost raised the roof. The Muir
dock boomers were scattered all over the
convention hall, and at the mention of
Murdocks name, broke loose i'll the most
enthusiastic cheering of the day. The
nominating speech was made by Colonel
II. w. Lewis, one of the most entertain
ing orators in Kansas.
Colonel Lewis said: 4 have joined
with the enthusiasm in applause OF each
of the nominations made here tonight.
| glory that the dominant party has so
many good men. | am glad that which
ever of these candidates is nominated the
whole party will rally to his support.
The Republican party, proud of its vic
tories, military and civic, must look TO
present cOnQuests for continued suprem-
acy. The measures that confront us
must be met. We demand man for
chief executive who will carry the Re-
publican banner into the ranks of fusion

surrender. The question of trans
portation in Kansas is one that
calls for an executive who will hold UP
the balance of justice with an even
hand between the graspng corporations
and the confiscating idiots Let the Re-
publican nominee be man whose heart
goes out to the poor man, the laboring
man.
IF there is man who possesses all
these qualities it is that staunch private
in the ranks for thirty-six years, that in
vincible warrior whose printing press
has proclaimed since the time of John
Brown, Republicanism and the glory of
Kansas, the whi:e-piumed knight of the
Kansas Nile, the little giant of South
west Kansas, Colonel Marshall n. Muir
dock.
''In this campaign it is not alone pride
of principle and Republicanism that are
demanded; it requires a man Of chara-
ter and magnetism that will attract the
masses. Colonel 1iurdock needs no in
PRODUCTION. For thirty-six years his
name has been known in Kansas; his life
has been an open book. He has made
no enemies; he has made no promises.
He has no friends 10 reward, no enemies
to punish. Every candidate is his
friend, every delegate is his neighbor.
We pledge to sweep the state with Har
rison and Murdoch"
This presentation was followed by the
longest and most enthusiastic applause
of the entire day.

JUNE WEATHER.

From the weather report for June,
1892, prepared by Professor f. II. Snow
of the University of Kansas, from obser-
vations taken at Lawrence, we learn
that the month was marked by low
barometer, high wind velocity and light
rainfall. 1t was the clearest and driest
June on our twenty-five years record.
The deficient rainfall had no disastrous
effect upon field crops on account Of the
excessive precipitation Of the preceding
months, but both quality and quantity
of small fruits were severely affected
by the lack of rain. The mean tempera-
ture was "a. 10 degrees, which is 0.SS de-
grees above the June average. The high
est temperature was 965 degrees, on the
goth; the lowest was 30 degrees, on the
LIST, giving range of 46.5 degree. Mean
temperature at 7 a. M, 70.3S degrees; at
p. m., 8270 degrees, at 9 p. m, 71.U
degrees.
The rainfall was 1.23 inches, which is
~ inches below the June average. The
entire rainfall for the six months of 1892
now completed has been 23.9 50 inches,
which is 6. "a inches above the average
for the same months in the preceding
twenty-four years.

IS IT RETRIBUTION.

The report of very remarkable occur
renee comes from Joplin, No. 1t is
stated, upon what seems to be reliable
authority, that several weeks ago Bible
agent in his rounds of that town solicit
ing orders for the Holy Writ, called at
the home of family the heads of which
are pronounced skeptics. When the
Bible agent made know his mission the
mother of the household peremptorily
ordered him out of the house, remark
ing at the time that she would as soon
have the devil in the house as that book
Two weeks ago The mother gave birth to
a child which is as near the personitica-
ton of Old Nick as 1t is possible for a
new born infant to be. 1t has horns
growing out of the upper part of its
head; its hands and feet are supplied
with devils claws, and it has a wild,
demoniacal expression of countenance
and glaring, flashing eyes.
The child was still living day or two
ago and was apparently healthy and
vigorous for its age Hundreds of peo-
pie have visited the home to see the
freak and all are permitted to look at
and examine it.
The involuntary remark of nearly
every one upon seeing the little creature
and knowing Of the incident first above
mentioned, is that it is a divine retribu-
ton upon the scoffing mother, and it is
said she is inclined to so regard it her
self

SOUND SENSE.

Tie following from the Clay Center
Dispatch, an Alliance paper, whose edi-
tor, Mr.. Vincent, was prominent candi-
date for governor before the late Peoples
party state convention in this city, and
was nominated by reclamation for lieu
tenant governor, but declined, voices a
sentiment the EAGLE has been preaching
for years:
"The following are the closing words
of a speech recently made by a proml-
nent Alliance man, and we can indOrse
every word of it: L have 10 use for the
demagogue who goes over the country,
advocating the theory that the thieves
are all in town and the honest men in
the country. The retail merchants are
not your enemies. Where there is COM
petition among retail merchants you will
find no trusts or combines 10 take advan.
tage of you. Everyw here | have found
a spirit or competition existing among
retail merchants, cutting down prices
and undertaking each other through the
columns of the newspapers or printed
hand bills, all bidding for your trade. In
seventy-fOur counties / have travelled
over, have failed to find a combine
among retail merchants. If we drive
every store out of town but the one we
patronize, we will have built up a trust.
If we organize against men who have
organized against Us we will be a trust
breeding instead of trustbreaking or
ganization. Let us not make enemies of
men who are engaged in a legitimate
business, but keep after the trusts and
unite for the welfare of our common
country"

TAXATION IN ITALY.
Government Takes Nearly One
Third Of the Peoples Earnings.
Low Wages and High Prices Keep the
Working Classes in n Perpetual State
Of Poverty-Financial Mis-
mana cement.

The cities OF Italy, the communCs
and the provinces are thr ened with
political extinction as " i as with

In Naples the city treasury Is not only
empty, but there is a dc Lett in the

or more. Rome is also In a bad way

Milan, Turin, and other cities of the

desperate straits that the national goF-
eminent has been forced to advance

be an easy matter for the people TO re-
cover their losses were it not for the
immense burdens laid upon them by the
national government. All kinds of To-
cal improvements, sanitary as well aS
others, are at standstill because the
people cannot pay the costs. Some idea
OF the burdens which the people of
Italy are enduring may be gathered
from brief glance at few of the most
important taxes.
Income from landed estates pays .
tax of 4S per cent. for national and local
purposes; rent on houses pays 81 per
cent; the earnings of merchants are
taxed Is cents on the dollar. All in
comes above s120 pay one-seventh of the
amount to the government. A school
teacher receiving 500 year has TO pay
a tax of about S27. Cab drivers and
railway employees also endure enormous
burdens. To make all this worse the
government imposes a heavy duty on
nearly all the necessaries of life. There
is u tax on imports and there is tax on
exports 1t would look as if n man
were taxed for being taxed. The duty
on sugar makes that important article
of food costs from Is to 20 cents a pound.
Tea costs from SO cents to 81, coffee
from 10 to 60 cents, according to quality.
Bread is very dear, rs there is duty of
20 per cent on imported wheat. The
people pay, either directly or indirectly,
nearly one-third of all their earnings to
the government. Hundreds and thou
sands of farmers have been ruined by
the intolerable burdens of taxation.
One would imagine that, if taxes and
the cost of living were so high, wages
would be correspondingly high, but just
the opposite is true. Farm laborers get
but 20 cents day on an average Ar
tisans receive from 30 to 10 cents day,
and are not regularly employed at that
The wages of women are so small Is 10
make man blush to name them. In the
rice fields Of northern Italy women wade
to their knees twelve hours at a stretch
for 10 cents. The straw plaiters of Fie-
sole, Prato and Leghorn make from 6 to
10 cents day. Their poor fingers fly
like spindles from early dawn till late
at night. Skilled labor is better paid,
but 81 day is considered good pay. A
few workers in stone and marble,
bronze and silver, make from So TO So
per day.

OPEN THE STRIP.

1t was stated day or two ago that
the committee on territories of congress
had agreed upon a report on the action
of the Cherokee commission and had pre-
pared bill which was ready to be SUBJ
mitted to the house, providing for the
opening of the strip to settlement, and
that Immediately upon the return of
Representative Peel, who is chairman of
the committee, the bill would be re-
ported to the house and its passage
recommended.
1t is now learned that Mr.. Peel is at
his home in Arkansas and will not return
to Washington for week or ten days.
The cause of his detention Is not stated,
but unless it is something imperative he
should consult the wishes and interests
of large number of his fellow-citizens
and neighbors, hasten back to Washing
ton and urge the immediate passage of
the bill in question.
The session is drawing rapidly to a
close: it is generally agreed that it will
end by the Goth of July, and every days
delay in reporting the bill to the house
lessons its chances of passage. If it
should fail to pass now it could not be
acted upon until after the holidays, and
such delay in the opening of the strip
would cost the thousands who are ready
and waiting to so there and get homes
incalculable loss and suffering beyond
estimating. Such procrastination would
Re cruel, because these is no good reason
for it.

SIGNED THE WRONG WILL.
He Put His Name to His Wife, VIII In
stead of His Own.

He Put His Name to His wife's VIII In
stead of His Own.
A very curious case, in which a hus-
band executed will which had been
prepared for his wife, and the wife exc
cuted will which had been prepared
for her husband, has recently been de-
clared by the general term of
the supreme court Of New
York, in the Fourth judicial depart
ment (Syracuse). John and Jane Mel
son, being husband and wife, wanted
to make wills, each in favor Of the 9TH
er, and employed William Cowie 70 pre-
pare the instrument, which he did in
due form.
The wills, says the Boston Argus,
were read and placed upon the table for
signature. Each then signed one Of
the wills, made the requisite declara-
ton as to the character of the instru-
ment, and asked the subscribing wit
nesses TO sign After execution the
wills were sealed up in an envelope,
which was not opened until after the
husbands death, when IL was discov-
cred for the first time that each had
by mistake signed the viii intended for
the other The wife brought suit in
the supreme court TO correct her hus-
bands mistake in signing the wrong
viii by reforming the language Of the
viii which he did actually execute, 50
as TO make it conform 20 that which be
certainly intended 10 execute.
Her comp laint was dismissed at the
special term, howeve~, and the appellate
branch Of the supreme court holds that
the dismissal was right. 3ir Justice
Martin, in the opinion q the general
term, says in substance that there Is 10

did not make any viii at all The In

KANSAS IS THE BEST.

In the year 1873 there came to the
then town of Wichita a man named
RoSeberry who took residence in cabin
and opened cobbler's shop on North
Main street. \ few months later Mr..
Roseberry entered a quarter section of
land few miles south of the city
which, by alternate labor on the claim
and his shop, he proved up in due time,
improving the land meantime as far As
ms limited means and divided labor
would permit. \ year or two later,
having removed 10 his farm and giving
his whole time thereto, he Concluded to
take in an adjoining quarter section.
which he did and soon paid for. The
next year he purchased still another
quarter agreeing to pay $1,000 for it,
and placing mortgage on the
two last purchased quarters as security.
The proceeds of his next years hog crop
were just enough to lift the mortgage.
and he applied them to that purpose.
thereby freeing himself of debt
Today Mr. RoSeberry has two of his
quarters under fence, and the whole Of
his holdings constitute one of the most
valuable farms in the county lie has
the place we'll stocked with the hes.
breeds of horses, cattle, hogs. etc. He
has a splendid crop Of hogs on hand that
