FOR THE Wishing MAN.

Hon. Alonzo Cameron of Medicine
Lodge, one of the true and tried and never
found wanting Republicans Of Barber
county is spending few days in the city.
He is not here on business or politics, but
is making a nice, social, pleasant and
friendly visit of two or three days. with
friends accompanied by his wife who is
reckoned among the most amiable and
charming women of Barber county. Lon
always starts ont on his social visits with
a firm determination not 20 talk politics or
anything else that would distract from his
quiet enjoyment but he always fails of his
intention for his political opinions are so
valuable that some one is always eager to
get them and. being obliging, he always
yields. Last night, however, was an ex-
ception and Notwithstanding his sincere
friendship for the EAGLE he begged to be
excused. He said, however, that the Re-
publicans of Barber county and of the ad-
Joining counties as well are looking at the
situation with eyes wide open and that
they are determined TO have Il Republican
representative from the Seventh congress
ional district in the next congress. They
are going, he says, to work for the party
and not for the man. In other words they
want the man who is most likely to beat
the sockless statesman from Medicine
Lodge He seemed to know who that man
is but he kept the information to himself.

or THE DEATH OF MRS. RIoS HULL

Communicated by friend
I" It's difficult TO feel that she is dead2
Her presence, like the shadow OF wing
That is just lessening in the upper sky
fingers upon us. We can hear her voice
And for her footsteps listen. And rhe eye
Looks for her wonted coming with a strange
Forgetfui earnestness. We cannot feel
That she will no more come; that from her
cheek
The roseate flushed mas faded; that on her lip
Which was 50 exquisitely pure, the dew
OF the damp grave has fallen. Who so loved
Is left among the living: Who hath walked
The world with such winning loneliness
And on its bright brief journey gathered up
such treasures of affection? She was loved
Only as idols are. She was the pride
OF her familiar sphere-the daily JOY
OF all who on her gracefulness might gaze
And in the light and music of her way
Have companions portion. Who could feel
While looking upon beauty such as hers,
That it could ever perish: IL is like
The melting of star into the quiet sky
While you are gazing on 1t, or dream
Ia it most ravisning sweetness rudely broken. :"

To the Editor OF the Eagle,
II is well known that the legislature
made no appropriation for an educational
exhibit at the Columbian exposition.
A committee, in which all the educa-
tional institutions Of the state are repre-
sented, has been appointed by the State

has been organized as board Of directors,
with john w. Bloss of Topeka as presi-
dent, a. r. Taylor of Emporia as secre-
tary, and George T. Fairchild of Manhat-
tan as treasurer 1t has been decided to
raise the money for making an exhibit by
voluntary contributions on a given Gay
by the pupils and the teachers;
this to be done by the rendering
of a program to which a small adj
mission should be attached. A sum
not less than $40, Go should be raised, for
the educational exhibit of Kansas must
be of kind to comport favorably with the
exhibits certain to be made by other states.
A space of about 30X10O feet has been
assigned to Kansas in the mammoth
building devoted TO manufactures and
liberal arts. All the educational exhibits
of the states will be placed in parallel
halls on the first floor in this building.

pointed by the board of education AS Arbor

Y. NJ. c. A. JUNIORS.

forty boys, ranging III age from III TO 10
years, took part in the exhibition at the \.
NJ c. A. on Tuesday evening. The class
was called as soon as the spectators, num-
bering about 800, had taken their places in
the gallery. Mr. C. E. Caswell, who has
charge of the gymnasium classes, superin-
tended the drill, and Miss Flora Caswell
presided at the organ. The character of
the work performed reflected great credit
on instructor and pupils, and the frequent
Iong-continved applause from the gallery
encouraged the performers to do their ut
most.
The exercises consisted of a dumb-bell
drill, running high jump, Indian-club
swinging, polo drill and window jump.
The dumb-bell drill was given by four of
the youngest boys and was well done. The
polo drill was accompanied by music and
was very pretty as was also the club
swinging by Garland Terrell and Charles
Jennings. The jumping was good, the
boys jumping in fine form in the high
jump, and the best one in the window
jump getting between the ropes when they
were only eight inches apart.
Those taking part were Charles Jen-
hiHS>, DOhoo "OOUo, NIduOc 1dEIuer,
Sedgwick Levy, Otis Murdoch,
Henry Larkins, Harry Stanley,
Robert Norris. Woodson Stoutemeyer,
George Schollenberger, Morris Schollen-

land Terrell, George Lynch, Willie Spal-
ton, Bert Weaver. Stewart Alexander,

Robert Christian, Ed Preston, Everett

maker, Will Funk. Morton Rettan. Lewis
Zimmerman, Cecil Allen, Walter Hess,
Edgar Hess.
While the boys were given a few min
utes in the middle of the exercises for rest,
Mr.. r. P. Murdoch. president of the asso-
citation. made few remarks on the work
of the junior department in which he made
u strong appeal to parents and friends to
cooperate in building this fourishing and
promising branch of the work. Emphasis
were LAID on the fact that the association
strives TO do more than simply provide for
the physical welfare of the mem bers; that
the boys are to have their own reading
room, library, meetings, games, socials,
ETC., as soou as friends will place those
things within their reach. Mr.. Murdoch
closed by inviting those interested in fur
nishing and equipping their quarters to
inspect the boys rooms before leaving the
building and take note of articles which
they might contribute to make them more
attractive

BORDER QUEEN DOINGS.

Judge Lambdin returned from Caldwell
last night, where he had been spending a
few days visiting old friends and neigh
bors He reports the Border Queen fol-
lowing in the wake of the Peerless Prin-
cess and getting herself in shape for big
summer and fall business. Times are i'm
proving wonderfully there, and the enter
prising citizens of the town have taken
heart after the period of depression which
has existed there for three or four years.
Yesterday the Commercial club of the city
was reorganized with Hon. J. w. Ross,
president; Captain Sam Woodson, the
genial host of the Leland hotel, vice presi-
dent; Captain Robson, the cattle man,
who made the first coffin in Caldwell. sec
rotary; and Titus Z. Neal president of the
First National bank, treasurer. The club
starts out with membership of seventy
five or eighty of the leading citizens
and has a grand future before it. This
club. 1t appears, was in existence before,
and its work resulted in securing the eud
of the Rock Island division and many
other important things which have given
tone TO Caldwell as one of the best local
commercial towns in Southern Kansas.
Among the other changes the judge noted
while he was down there was the deep
religious feeling that exists. 1t seems
that revivalist pitched his tent there
some weeks ago and Immediately pro-
ceeded to regenerate the dead souls of the
town. He had hard time AT the start,
but after week or two the people became
more interested and when the revival
ended 1876 souls had been clensed in the
bubbling waters of Bluff creek.

WANTS MORE AGREEABLE SOCIETY.

A w. Stevenson, a prominent citizen
and prosperous farmer of Harvey county,
is in the city talking with real estate men
with reference to farm lands. Mr.. Steven
son has sold one of the best farms in Har-
vey county upon which he had lived for a
number of years. He became sandwiched
in among lot of Russians and didn't like
their company so he sold out and Will
probably locate within few miles of
Wichita He says the Russians are all
right personally ard make good thrifty
farmers, but that they show no inclination
to become Americanized. They have
their own schools, propagate their own
ideas and. in fact, have no dealings in com
mon with Americans. He likes Wichita,
likes the land that surrounds it, likes the
sociability of the people, thinks it is des-
tined to be the greatest city OF the plains,
and hence he wants to locate near it,
