the Legislature evidently intended, and
also on the first day of September,

see son by the carless wording OF the
section.
The State warden symrathizes with
those who want an equal cbasce at the
trout, but have conscientious cruples
against fishing on Sunday. He has no
power, however, to alleviate their dis
tress, and must refer them to their pas
tors for consolaiion. With the Sunday
law the warden and deputies have
nothing to do, but they will spare no
efforts 10 prevent as far as possible
the catching of trout before the first of
May. Every good citizen, and particu-
larry those who appreciate the import
ance OF preserving our fish. should as
sist in enforcing the law. Through the
efforts of the state fish commission and
under the protection of tho law, trout
have become plenty in many countries
where they were not native. If the
law is observed they will be still more
plentiful, and be ONE OF immense value
TO our citizens. But it is not right to
compel some to observe law without
enforcing it upon all. Every person
who takes trout even single day be-
fore the oren season is taking an unfair
advantage of his fellow citizens, and no
personal regard for him or disinclina-
tion to be an "nfcrmcr" should escape
punishment.
There has been less violations this
spring than usual, but the last week of
April is always the worst, and the pub
lie. as well as the wardens, should be
on the alert for violations. Let every
one understand that all must have an
equal chance, and that any violation
that becomes known will be promptly
reported, and the offender prosecuted.

Disguised HomeseeAers:

Disguised homeseekers ure returning
to this village by the dozens. All OF
them succeeded IN locating claims, but
they claim that the land Is wclfhless,
devoid OF the most essential qualities
and not worth paying taxes on. II is
true that there are some good lands in
the reservation, but they were gobbled
before the ordinary homeseeker,i who
was willing to hustle for himself, had
chance to make his appearance So
far as the other lands are concerned
they may be aptly described by, the
remark of high official, who said; "I
don't blame the government for giving
this land away. Instead of placing
troops here to keen the people off Of 1t
they should have directed the soldiers
to nse every honest effort to push them
on it."

Wait For The First or May.

AS the first day OF May draws near a
great deal OF interest is manifested in
the trout and grayling law. and the
state warden's Office has been deluged
with letters asking il the open season
begins on the first OF second, and If
permission can not be granted to fish
on April 30th, the first OF May this
year falling on Sunday.
Section one of the general fish law
Act No. Ill of lSS9--prohibits the
catching of "speckled trout, land -hcked
salmon, grayling or California trout,
from the first day of September in each
year, until the FIRST day of May follow
ing thereafter" Under the usual con-
struction of statutes tho first day OF
May would be included in the closed
season during which it is unlawful to
take these fish, see Sutherland on
Statutory Construction, 1877 and I'd
Johnson's cases, 225. But an opposite
view has been held, see IL Ills. 302,
and in the construction Of penal stat
utes the most lenient view of the law
must be taken. For this reason the

A Rich Homestead Find.

A private letter was received in tais
city, few days since, from John Web
ster, of Tower, Minnesota, which told
of his discovery, through an Indian
friend of rich tract of pine, hereto
fore unknown to the white explorers.
John and his partner, Neil Berger, are
located nearly one hundred miles from
Tower and the new rich tract of pine
Just discovered is located still farther
from civilization, but much nearer and
easier to market than any heretofore
found. All OF the pine homestead land
within so miles of Tower, which is
worth locating has been taken and
there is but one way to get this timber
to market and that is by ten or TWEEN
ty mile hal and then by rail via.
Duluth. While timber located farther
northwest finds an outlet down the
numerous streams into Rainy river,
below the falls thence to the Lake of
the Woods, where it is converted into
lumber and thence it ~ shipped to the
plains in the Northwest by rail, where
there is demand for all the lumber
that can be manufactured on the Lake
OF the Woods. Jack Websters and Neil
Berger's many friends in this city and
vicinity will be glad to hear of their
big strike. Jack stated in reference to
his new find that not in all of his exper-
ience as woadsman had he ever before
seen such fine tract of white pine as
was his. last discovery. The tract
spreads over an area of about one and
a half townships. He stated that many
homesteaders were being located, he
and his partner, on an average, receiv-
ed about 40 letters of inquiry every
time the mail reached their camp, on
Ash River, from Tower.-Soo Tribune.

SOCIAL AND LITERARY.

One OF the most elegant and delightful
entertainments was at tha School of Elo-
cutlon and Oratory last evening In Dr.
Hoss' room. The occasion was the gradu-
alton of six, from the class of elocution-
Mrs. f. E. Shafer, Mrs. U. N. Lawrence,
Miss Minnie Pedigo, Miss Clara Gehring,
Miss Imo Creditor and Mr.. Charles E.
Prather.
The evening exercises consisted in we'll
chosen remarks by DR.. Hoss, congratu-
lating the class on their attainments. and
formal Introduction of each to the other
classes present.
Miss Minnie Pedigo recited THE Spin
ming Wheel" in excellent and beau
tiful style delighting all who were
present with her singing and
presentation of the piece. Miss limo
Creditor recited "Prince Bricks Christ
Maid" and it was done in grace, sweet
voice and perfect enunciation. These
young ladies are amongst the most &C
complished and best elocutionists of
Wichita, and are an honor to the school,
and show what can be attained by study
and training.
Mrs. f. E. Shaffer read class poem

given by NJ. Brandenherg on the either.
DR.. Hoss then invited the company into an
adjoining room where elegant refresh
ments were served in fine style. The
tables were richly decorated with boquets
of flowers. arranged in fine style Mrs.
Hoss made the evening delightfully."- pleas
ant and enjoyable by her graceful and
pleasing manner, as hostess and every one

made the hours pass too rapidly away and
the many present regretted to say good

but upon rejecting on the predictions of
the chairman who had the appointment or
the committee, they thought best to refer
the matter to the central committee to
prevent the Democratic bosses from run
ming the whole machine. When the above
resolutions were passed two or three voices
from different parts of the house suggested
that they be given to the EAGLE for publ
cation, which suggestion were adopted.
The clerks not being ready with their
tally sheets the interim was occupied with
speech making. A. Clark, the colored
man who was candidate for coroner last
year. was the first one to express his views.
He said he thought all the time until
he Joined the Alliance that the Union
soldier enlisted to fight for the freedom of
the slave, but his eyes were opened when
he joined the Peoples party and he claim
ed to know better now. He was followed
by old Abei Trembling, an aged colored
man, who made a speech on the slavery
question something after the order OF
Clark. Uncle Abe gave the convention
some original plantation logic, and when
Farmer Doolittle offered to correct one IF
his errors he got sat down on most beauh
fully by the aged colored orator. Other
speeches were made. including orations
from Messrs. Cone, Babb. Campbell and
several more ex- Democrats.
Th1 following are the delegates selected:

One man at the convention did nothing
else but ''Hurrah for Jerry" while nobody
else was talking.
Out of the 100 or more delegates present
thirty-nine of them wore "boiled shirts"
Rufe Cone concluded his speech with
exactly the same words used by General
Charles Blair, at the fusion convention at
Kansas City, Kan, day or two ago.

able of an exhorter He made some strong
arguments on the freight rate question.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRADE.

In view of the fact that the board of ed
ucation have recently reduced the salary
of the superintendent of the public schools
of this city, and while there is no doubt
but their action in this matter was done in
good faith ana with the best of intentions,
looking only to retrenchment in their ex-
penditures, yet many of the leading citi-
zens and largest taxpayers OF Wichita be-
lieve this reduction unwise. and the ext
gency of the case does not call for it
especially when it is likely to lose to this
city the services of so able and eminent an
educator as DR.. Stevenson. A man of ma
tional reputation, whose official position
in the Teachers International association
of the United States and Canada brings
to the notice of every teacher in these
countries the city of Wichita, and there
fore makes it a matter of legitimate bust
ness for the consideration of this body.
For these and other reasons the board of
trade is called to meet in their ball in the
Sedgwick block at 10 a. m, sharp, on Mon
day, June 6. 1892, to take such action as
will express their views in regard to this
matter. 1t is especially urged and re-
quessed that there be a full attendance of
