WICHITA UNIVERSITY NOTES.

The ladies' boarding hall was so crowded
during last week that some OF the lady
students had to sleep on cots in the dining
rooms and some slept in the university
building; but, happily, arrangements have
been made by which all who come may be
accommodated.
The students will be given practice in
infantry drills. This practice is free TO all
students of the university.
The work on the new boarding hall is
being pushed as rapidly as possible.
New students are coming in every day.
The prospects of the school were never
so good. On Friday afternoon within an
hours time seven new students made ar
rangements to attend the university.
Another piano was placed into the uni
versity to accommodate the increased
number of music students.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
No action whatever has been taken by
the Garfield post in regard to the Wash
ington trip, hence the circular issued and
signed by some of the officers of the post
inferring that the Santa Fe route had been
selected by the post, is misleading and
untrue.
. The departments OF Kansas G. A. R. have
selected the Rock Island as the official
route. Special train leaves Wichita Satur-
day, Sept. Il, at $50 a. ~. arriving at the

GIRLS HOME DIRECTORY.

The Institution Now Put on a Good FL
nancia1 Basis.
A meeting of the board of directors OF
the Girls home was held yesterday
afternoon, in the office of Mr.. J. s.
Slauson, Bonebrake and Bryson's block.
A new board OF directors was elected.
On motion the treasurer was author
lied to liquidate all bills against the
home, and to lift the mortgage on the
building.
Authority was given the executive
committee, consisting Of the president,
treasurer and Mrs. Watson, the lady
manager of the home, to act de6nitively
in all matters relating to the collection
and the disbursement of funds, and two
lady members of the directory were ap-
pointed as regular visiting committee.
Mr.. u. S. Slauson was elected presi-
dent and Mr.. William Lacy treasurer.
Some other routine business was
transacted and the meeting adjourned.
Through the effort of Messrs. Slauson
Lacy and others, the home has been
placed on firm financial footing, and
the good work that has heretofore been
done by this very meritorious institu.
tuition will be continued.

1t will be noted that in the above sums
only $25, 900 is set aside for the salary
fund, while SIS, ,000is set aside for the
hospital fund. Why is this done? lis
done merely to deceive the people and
let them fall into the error Of believing
that under this munifcent administra-
tion of Union League government only
the paltry gum of $4,000 per year is
spent for salaries. The facts of the case
are that the sum will more nearly reach
100000. This additional sum will be
raised by juggling with county funds,
transferring them back and forth from
one fund to another to meet the ext
gencies of the occasion. Salary de-
mands will also be drawn on the county
expense fund, the sole and only hope Of
the supervisors being to deceive the tax
payers as to what sums they are paying
out for salaries.
We're this amount known accurately
it would in great measure account for
the abnormally high rate of taxation
this year.
The following is list of the school
district and sinking fund levies for the
year 1892:

UNION LEAGUE MUST Be FED,
Therefore the Tax Rate is Made
Heavier Than Ever,
The Estimates Show a D0ddering
Attempt at Finessing.
The Outrageous1y High Tax Rate Fixed
Yesterday by the Supervisors-Jug-
Cling With the SALARY and
Hospital Fund.

The county. board of supervisors yes
terday fixed the tax rate inside of cities
at $1.20, and outside of cities at 81. AZ.
This has been the heaviest rate of taxa
tion which the property of this county
has been compelled to groan under for
years. 1t is only an indication of the
expensive government which is now and
has been in vogue on court house. The
taxpayers are compelled this year to pay
$1.20 per cent on the $100 of valuation
as against $1.05 on the 500 last year..
The question is naturally asked where
is the vast gum OF money going to. The
reply is simple. 1t is going and has
gone to feed an army of unnecessary
deputy clerks who, because of the fact
That they are members of the Union
League, are permitted to fatten at the
public crib.
The following is the auditors estimate
OF the funds it is necessary to raise for
the twelve months ending September 1,
1893. 1t is based on the calculations for
expenditures for the twelve months end
ing September 1, 1892.

MIR, JENKs' LOGIC.

He Proves to a Friend by Chinese Methods
That He is a Fine Penman.
The friends of e1-Solicitor General
George A. jerks have good deal of fun
with him about his penmanship. His sig
nature on hotel register looks more like
the zig-zag scratching of a hen than anything
else. In his younger days MI. jerks was fair
penman, but his chirography now shows the
extreme nervousness in his right hand, the
one that he uses so effectively in convincing
q Judge and jury that white is black. The
old lawyer is very logical, and the other
day he startled one of his friends by saying:
"Do you know that am the finest penman
in the world?" "You look astonished," he
continued, "but can prove it to you"
After the other had partially recovered
from his surprise, Mr.. jerks proceeded:
"Do you grant that the Chinese are the
oldest people who have learned to writer"
This proposition was readily assented to,
and then the friend waited patiently for
the minor premise and the conclusion.
"Well, nobody will deny that practice
makes perfect" suggested the lawyer
That being true, if the Chinese
are the Oldest, and have been
practicing penmanship the longest, then
they must be the best writers. As my PEN
manship closely resembles the scribbling of
a Chinaman, ergo my writing must be
among the best and most legible in the
land" Then the man who was virtually
Attorney General under Cleveland laughed
heartily at his syllogism and its ridiculous
conclusion,

WRITING CAMPAIGN SONGS.

Judge Holmes Says 1t Is q Peculiar Git
That Not Many People Possess-A Sud-
den Change In Sentiment Sometimes
spoils q Song.
Judge Holmes, of Syracuse, the Repub-
lican song writer, was in the city yesterday
on his way home The old man has
been very successful in grinding out
rhymes for the campaigns He made
quite hit in 1888 He was
very confident that Blaine would be nomin-
ated and he had prepared number of verses
in anticipation of the event. Since then the
words and music have gone into the waste
basket, and the poet has been trying to
make such difficult names as Harrison and
Reid jingle in rhyme. 81 am son, son,
a son of gun if 1 vote for Harrison" was
the best rhyming line that was sung before
the convention was held, but goodness
gracious, the sentiment won't 60 now with
loyal Republicans.
''It is peculiar gift be to able to write
verse;" said the Judge, 'and not many
people possess it To be successful in this
work one must know all about music, and
then write words to suit the notes or else
make the music to agree with the lines. l
usually take familiar Gospel hymn, and
turn it into campaign song. A collection
of these airs 1 call nv political gospel.
You must combine sentiment and humor to
catch the people, and my aim is to inject
as much wit as possible into the songs. In
this campaign protection and reciprocity
will be the leading features Some i'm
agine that reciprocity is hard word to
rhyme. Ny experience has been in writ
ing songs that words of four syllables or
more are the easiest to adapt to music.
The old Judge couldn't conceal his dis
appointment when Blaine was defeated.
Like many other people he thought the
Maine man was sure winner.

THE COURT INFANTRY.

That Famous Body OF Brave Soldiers 10
Hold = Reunion-How They Guarded .
Strawberry Patoh-Only Two Of Them
Were inferred. ..
The noble remnant Of that famous body Of
soldiers known as the Court Infantry, of
Pittsburg, will have its annual drill and
parade at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
This brave body of men, who battled for two
days on the heights of Mt. Washington to
protect strawberry pstch-for themselves,
will again meet and retell the stories of the
dark days of strife and how they drove back
the rebel horde of the South.
These sons of Mars and disciples of Coke
and Blackstone will formin the Court House
yard and will march through the principal
streets of the city. The members are to
with their new fagons and canteens it is
expected they will present . magnificent
martial appearance.
The history Of the organization and its
military achievements are found in the
Legal Journal in the Law Library. The
Court Infantry was organized in 1863 BY
Major General Brooks Generals Jubal
Early and jackson were reported as coming
West to take Pittsburg and destroy the
cannon in the Allegheny arsenal The
court guard got its orders early one June
morning and marched to Mt. Washington to
the tune of 'The Girl I Left Behind Me-"
The officers were Captain w. B. Negley,
Lieutenants, Samuel Cluley and Judge
Mellon; Sergeants, James L Kuhn and R.
B. Carnahan; Corporals, S. H. Geyer.
John McClowry, John Mellon and
D. W. Bell. Some members did
not report and Captain Negley ordered
Corporal Geyer to bring in the missing
members He marched to the District
Court and took Judge Hampton from the
bench and also captured some of the at
torneys The legal soldiers were stationed
in Knox,s strawberry farm, and all they
had to do was to guard the berry farm and
eat the fruit themselves Several ate too
many strawberries and were incapacitated
for duty. -'..r
Only one man was placed In tho guard
house. A pig pen was used for that pur-
pose. The prisoner had bottle, which the
guard afterward became possessed of, with
the result that the prisoner fled and the
guard was found in the pen. The record
advises that as the guard is now leading
member of the bar, he should be investi-
gated.
1t is believed that xhen the rebels heard
of the court guard, they at once turned
back for fear of being compulsorily nom
suited,

GREAT RUSH TO CHICAGO
Pennsylvapia Company Didn't Have Time
to Meet tho Pittsburg and Western Cut

Pennsylvania Company Didn't Have Time
to Meet tho Pfttsburg and Western Cut
District Passenger Agent Samuel Moody,
of the Pennsylvania Company, says his
line has sold 600 tickets to Chicago out of
Pittsburg. He thinks the prospects are for
the largest summer excursion business in
tho history of the road. A number
of fishing clubs have completed
their arrangements, and will go
into camp at once. The Saturday half holi-
day people make break for the country as
soon as noon arrives. Excursions will be
run to Rock Point on Monday for an ALLIE
gheny Sunday school and to Erie on the
21st and 22d for the regatta at Erie.
Assistant General Passenger Agent Bas-
sett, of the Pittsburg and Western road,
is pleased with the number of
passengers who have gone over
his line to Chicago 1t was
certainly great stroke to keep the reduc-
tion in rates quiet until the time had come
to make the announcement. The Pennsyl-
vania Company was taken BY surprise, but
it was too late to help themselves. It re-
quires three days notice to the interstate
Commission before reduction can be made
and the time was too short.
