For the Eagle.
BRING FLOW ERs, SWEET FLOWERS

Bring flowers. bright flowers; none are too
sweet.
To deck the graves where our brave soldiers
sleep.
0, tender blossoms. yield richest perfume.
As gently you twiue around each sacred
tomb.
Ring out, sweet bells, upon the scented air.
Praises Of our brave dead, and from the
trees
Ye little singing birds, chant a soft refrain
Above the graves where rest our NOBLE slain.
Bring, O. bring garlands. fragrant, rare
Of beauty Unsurpassed; none are too fair
Tc drape o'cr the marbles cleaning crest
That marks the spot where heroes are al
rest.
o. come ye cooling hreezes from the north.
And balmy zephyrs from the south, come
forth,
Mngle, and breathe requiem DER each
grave
Where, meath the flowers, calmly sleep the
brave.

CONCERNING TIE STRIP OPENING

The following correspondence will ex-
plain itself. The interest taken in the
matter by Mr.. Bunce and others will, 1t
is hoped have the effect Of providing
proper restrictions against the practice
of frauds through undue advantages
secured under the cover of special
privileges granted ostensibly for the
public convenience and benefit:
HCNNEwELI4, Kan, April 20, 1893.
Secretary OF the Interior. Washington, D. d.
In presenting to you heretofore the
various classes of frauds that the honest
settler has to contend with | omitted
one class which | herewith submit, viz,
merchants who obtain permission from
army officers TO 90 into the country the
day before in oder to be ready to do
business as soon as people reach the
tOwnsite. Those merchants have with
them scores of clerks, teamsterS and not
few friends, who are only too willing
to take advantage of being on the
ground. If tOwnste are open tor foot
race, those who have ridden twenty to
twenty-five miles in two to three hours
are not able to compete with those who
have been on the ground from twelve to
eighteen hours resting up and getting
pointers from the soldiers.
Next, allow me to call your atten-
ton 10 the border quarter question
They should be reserved for camping
ground and starting place for the pros
pective settlers. They should be taken
by filing, not by settlement. If this
can't be done, open them say two hours
later. The president has power ''tO
open any or all, and have them taken
by retracing, that is, stake them from
the opposite side of quarter. This will
leave them to be taken by people who
are not able to enter the arena and com
bat with the strong. 1t will give them
to women, cripples and men who are not
physically able to make the ride. 1t is
absolutely necessary that the border
quarters be reserved for camp ground
and place to start from. There is a
strong four to eight wire fence all along
the northern border of the strip. Public
highways or lanes will be packed full
for a mile back. There will be a water
famine. riot and b!oodshed will reign
because the farmers will not allow their
fences to be torn down and their crops
tramped into the ground.
Very respectfully
j. \. BUNCE.
To which foregoing letter Mr.. BuEce
received the following reply:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR.
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May ), 1899. !
SIR am directed by tne secretary Of
the interior to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the Goth ult. relative to
the opening of the strip, and to inform
you that the same has been referred to
the commissioner of the general land
office. Very respectfully
EDWARD NJ DAWSON,
Chief Clerk.

II Is pretty generally understood that
the cause of the failure of Hon. Charles
Foster of Ohio was on account of his
overeaching himself, but the absence of
anything dishonest or dishonorab!e in
his transaction, together with the fact
that his efforts were mainly in the direc-
ton of aiding manufacturing enter
prises, thus providing employment for
many who otherwise would have been
idle, draws towards him a large vein Of
universal sympathy.

mills. By the way the,milling industry IS
the largest in the state there being some

4 SUMNIERLESS YEAR.

a year without a summer would be a
very disagreeable occurrence, to say the
least of it; Yet there has been such a
year within the memory of persons now
living, and whether history is to repeat
itself this year remains to be seen. Ger
tainly the weather this year all over the
United States has been unusual, and
even in Kansas, the sunny land, old
winter has sat heavily in the lap of spring
and at the present writing shows little in
clnation to vacate his berth and give
the yernal season a chance TO unfold and
spread itself according to long estab-
ljshed custom. In regard to the sum-
merless year above mentioned, the fol-
lowing description of it is taken from an
article contributed to the Reno journal:
January and February of 1916 were
springlibe. March was cold and stormy.
Vegetation had gotten we'll along in
April, when real winter set in. Sleet
and SNOW fell on seven different DAYS in
May. In May there was either frost or
snow every night but three. The snow
was five inches deep for several days in
succession IN the interior Of New Aork.
and from ten ipches to three inches to
three feet in Vermont and Maine. july
was cold and frosty. Ice formed as
thick as window paues in every one of
the New England states August was
still worse. Ice formed nearly an inch
in thickness and killed nearly every
green thing in the United States and
Europe. In the spring of 1917 corn
which had been kept over from the crop
of 1915 sold for from - TO $40 a bushei.
the buyers purchasing for seed. On
May 10. 1885. snow fell 4 foot in James
town, Va. and was piled up in huge
drifts III most Of the northern states.

Wichita does not seem to be much of an
educational center. There were only thir-
ty-one graduates of the High school there
this year, Nhile Lawrence. which Wichita
peopie are proud of clubbing a sleepy old
New England village, had seventy-nine.-

Your comparison emphasizes what YOU
charge Wichita people with saying.
Wichita's High school is a strictly local
institution, while the Lawrence univers-
lily comprehends the state, and even
draws from the regions beyond.

corralling the wild genus porcine that
roams the su arms and slashes Of the
