Suddenly horse and surrey went

The Electrical Engineer has a very
simple explanation of the frequency of
accidents in the operation of the trolley.
L contends that the fault does not lie
with the motor. since electricity. while
1T Is the greatest force i'll nature, is also
the most subordinate TO control. The
electric motor acts instantaneously- and
is reversible. Ii would b. the safest and
most effective power for arresting the
motion OF a car and preventing acci-
dents if 1t could be perfectly applied.
The responsibility for failure, the Elec-
;ricai Engineer argues, does not lie with
the electric inventor. but rather with the
mechanical engineer. Safety will be Sc
cured when the electric manufacturing
corporations perceive the necessity FOR
bringing into use the best possible me-
clanical appliances, even if their profits
are reduced by expensive changes in
in plant and the adontiou Of competing
apparatus.

VICIORY IN THE AIR.

There has not for years been county
ticket that has called out SO little criti-
cism as that nominated by the Sedgwick
county Republicans in their last conven-
ton. There has been no soreness over
individual contests, the Offices were well
distributed as to locality, and every man
named is above reproach as citizen and
beyond criticism as a Republican.
Royse, the nominee for sheriff, is one of
our old time residents, a Republican who
has never clamored for Office and in
every respect is cut out for sheriff. OF
John Doran for treasury, S. L. Barrett
for register, N. A. Carvin for clerk and
II. NJ. McCollister for coroner, it is hard
ly necessary to speak. That they have
seldom had their equals in their respec-
tive Offices is fact as we'll known to the
people of the county as to the
EAGLE itself. As fer Mr.. Webb the
nominee for commissioner, if the judg-
ment of his neigbbors and those who
know him more intimately is worthy
anything better man could not haze
been named. He is not only very in
telligent and we'll posted gentleman but
a very capable and careful business man.
As farmer he is industrious and thrifty.
He will make splendid commissioner.
The entire ticket being composed of SUBJ
stantial citizens and of tried and expert
enced men, whose superior qualifica.
tons are known to everybody, there
ought to be no question as to the result.

and predicts disaster for the Democratic
party. He SAYS: The spectacle of the
extra session. and more particularly the
scenes of the last few days and nights, is
enough to call the dead to life IN defense
of the beleaguered interests and party

southern senators obsequiously serving a

their experience and such wits as are

Scarcely railroad in the country has

Scarcely railroad in the country has
failed to largely decrease its operating
force during the past four or five months,
on account of the heavy falling off in
business. Whether this curtailment has
had anything TO do with it or not, it is
none the less fact that never in the
history of railroadng in this country has
there been so many railroad disasters as
have recently occurred and continue to
take place every day. Either the en-
ployes that are retained in the operating
service are taxed beyond their physical
abilities, or else the rolling stock and
roadways have been neglected until they
have become unfit for Use. The public
is beginning To believe that there is
criminal responsibility somewhere for
most of the disasters, and that they
ehould be stopped.

His Cousin the .veerie.''
Many think the hermit thrush IL

slightly larger than our blue bird with
a brown back, red dish on the tail. and
arrow-shaped spots sprinkled over his
breast. He is very like tho Wilson
thrush. or "veerie' as he is sometimes
called. but you can distinguish him by
his size. the hermit being seven and
ffteen-hundredth inches long and the
Wilson seven and a half inches The
latter is also more tawney on the back.
and the breast spots are fainter. In
habits they are quite different. the her
nit living in high, dry woods, and the
veerie choosing lonely swamps near
some pool.
All our thrushes are fine songsters.

having the loudest voice.
In California there is the least hermit.

A Good Newspaper Man.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The Gazette Office was favored with a
call Wednesday from Hon. j. V. Ad-
mire and Mr.. C. NJ Cade of Kingfisher,
Oklahoma. Admire, who was known
all over Kansas for twenty years as
Jake, is the editor of the Free Press at
Kingfisher, and has just retired from
the land office. When Jake left Kansas
he was the editor of the Usage City
Free Press. Like all true Kansans he
held on as long us possible, declining for
some years to vote at his new home, but
shame for the Populist record Kansas
has made forced him to lose interest and
swear allegiance elsewhere. But his
heart is still with us, and he prays every
day for the redemption of the grandest
state in the Union,

The most extraordinary harangue the
senate ever listened to was by Mr.. Martin

tumble of words, without rhyme or
reason, and was filled with such charac-

"the great financiers," whom Mr.. Mar
declared didn't know enough TO last

rained." He called on the senators who
favor repeal 'tto repent and be hap
