THE W. c. T. q. CONVENTION.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Some little time has elapsed, yet IL may
not be too late to inform those who could
not be present on account of illness, of the
pleasure they missed in not meeting the
hospitable entertainers of Valley Center
Wednesday. at the opening Of the conven-
ton. Much disappointment was felt when
it WAS known that Mrs. Fellows could not
be present to lead in the evangelistic serv-
ice, but from the emergency hand bag
came forth several of Hannah Whitall

the ranks were thinned from Ia grippe and
a telegram was handed to President
Boyle, saying that Rev. Nusbaum had sue
cumbed to the prevailing disease, and
could not be present in the face of the
Bible lesson. No one could be discouraged
and arrangements were soon perfected for
the evening service-committees were ap-
pointed and Mrs. Kate Clark of Valley
Center was elected secretary for the bal
ance of the year, taking the place of Mrs.
fuller, who had resigned. After the noon
tide hour of prayer, most bountifui din
ner was served in the church, in which hot

Kansas was not the land of plenty. The
genial presence of several gentlemen added
TO the enjoyment of the dinner hour.

THE COUNTY JAIL.
Interesting Facts About the Prisoners Con-
aned Therein.

A few days ago Hon VIM. 7. Harris Of
the bureau of education, department of
interior, forwarded to Sheriff Ault of this
county a blank to FL out with informa-
ton relative to the prisoners confined in
the fail of Sedgwick county with view.
evidently, of ascertaining the principal
cause; of crime. Sheriff Ault accepted
the task and has compiled very lengthy
report which contains many interesting
facts.
1t is general prevailing opinion that ig
norance breeds crime, but in this instance
the facts do not bear out this idea for
only five of the whole number of persons
IN the iaiI cannot read while only twenty
four cannot write, and of this number
twenty are Indians. Two of the whole
plumber are college graduates, ten are
graduates of high schools and academies
and the balance attended either private or
public schools all the way from nine
months to five years.
Thirtv-one of them are identified with
religious sects OF this number two are
Catholics and twenty-nine are Professionals,
the balance having no religion. Five OF
them are Kansans, twenty belong to other
states. two are Irish, one German, three
Canadians, one Swiss, twenty Indians and
seven negroes.
Eleven of them committed offenses
against persons, rwenty-one against prop
.rty, five against public morals and six
teen against government.
The idea that idleness produces crime is
also disproved to certain extent, for two
thirds of the prisoners had regular en-
ployment when arrested, twenty-one OF
whom had learned mechanical and manu-
featuring trades. Eighteen of them were
children of poor parents, thirteen Of them
children of parents in comfortable circum-
stances, while three are children of
wealthy parents. Twenty of them were
raised in the country and twenty raised ia
the city, so it can be seen that the tend
sncy to commit crime in the country is as
great as 1t is in the city.
The average age of the inmates is %.

ACTIVITY AT THE STOCK YARDS.

The past week has been good one for
the Wichita live stock market. Elk
cepting Saturday, there has been no day
this week that the receipts of hogs ran I'M
der 200 and rs these sold every day as
fast as they came in, testifies to the good
condition of the markets and the eagerness
of the two packing houses for hogs. The
quality of the hogs on sale have been an
improvement over the previous week,
some choice stock having been sold to the
packers the past week. The total re-
ceipts of hogs for the past week have been
1882, which shows an increase over the re-
ceipts of the same week last year.
The hog market is getting better every
month and as the demand for hogs is in
creasing, (the packing houses running at a
large capacity the receipts will grow in
proportion. When the project of estab-
fishing the yards here was at first dis
cussed, many thought that the country
could not furnish sufficient hogs, but the
past few years has shown the fallacy of
this reasoning. The country is proving
equal TO the demand, and since the good
corn crop, many farmers have turned to
raising hogs. Since Dold commenced to
pack hogs on November /, 1888, and Whit
taker started some eighteen months
later, there were packed in this
city, 594,230 head Of hogs; over
half million of hogs With this number
of hogs shipped here by farmers of the
surrounding country, the question Of the
sufficiency of the supply is settled.
One of the most prominent commission
merchants at the yards yesterday stated to
an EAGLE representative that the proposed
reduction of rates wonld prove boon to
this market. The benefi, of this move. he
said is not received by the commission
merchants or the shippers themselves, but
the farmers who raise the stock are the
class that receive therefrom the great
est benefit. Shippers will by this re-
duction be able to pay the farmer
a higher price for his hogs in consequence
OF the reduction The commission men in
general attach much Importance to this
rate business and believe it will be the
means of securing, in time. almost double
the amount of hogs at these yards than
are now coming in. One prominent COM
mission man ventured TO predict that
5000 day would come IN at these yards in
side Of year However this may be- all
agree that it is good thing for the mar
ket. The cattle supply has been some
what meagre this week although the de-
maud for good cattle i strong. One
thousand more head of good heavy stock
steers would have found ready sale here
the past week.

Soap

What is wanted of
soap for the skin is to

that. This IS why we

when We say pure, we
