that he was expecting the appointment as

was sent to the senate early in the morn

faces OF late pedestrians as they
plowed through il and their re-
marks We're not Of the orthodox
Sunday school variety. By hard work the
electric cars We're kept running but they
were al late. Complaint was heard from

MORE ABOUT POST AUGERs.
o the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
The EAGLE, in its issue OF last Wednes-
day, unintentionally misrepresented some
important facts concerning the Magnolia
post anger, inasmuch that it represented
w. L Scott as the inventor of the auger.
The article further intimates that the in
vention originated elsewhere and was
brought to Wichita to be manufactured,
etc Now, while all that we have stated
about the auger and all that has been said
in its favor is true, it is also true that it is
IA genuine Wichita invention, and is the
result Of the inventive genius and skill of
Mr.. A. Miks and Mr.. Scott Jointly, Mr.
Miks being one of the company who have
been successfully engaged in manufactur-
ing wind engines at the old Gilbert pillow
plant.
While Mr.. Miks is not bent on glory he
deems it best that Wichita people should
be properly informed of WichIta's enter
prise in its true light
The Magnolia post auger has budded
and is rapidly coming into full bloom and
promises very prosperous and wide
awake business for Wichita.

BOOMERS RENrING FARMS

A gentleman who was in the city yester-
day from the territory said that the people
in his neigh borhood did not expect TO see
the strip opened for year and many OF
the boomers who have been camped
along the border are seeking places to farm
this year, and as result farm rents in
Southern Kansas have advanced material
ly. He says that these men have teams
and farming implements and that is
about all they have; that they must live
and that many of them have leased farms
promising to pay as much as one-half of
all the grain raised and TO deliver the
landlords share in the market towns.

GLADsToNE's ESCAPE.
The Fact That he Looked Like the
Assassin's Father Saved Him.

London, April 2s,-The Pail Mall Ga
2ctte states that on the day the Irish
home rule bill was passed TO second read
ing William Townsend, the man under
arrest on a nominal charge of having dis
charged a revolver unlawfully in public
place, hut really on suspicion of having
intended to assassinate Mr., Gladstone,
lay in wait for Mr. Gladstone's departure
from his residence with the full purpose
of numbering the premier. Townsend
was armed with Il loaded revolver and
was deliberately prepared TO shoot Mr..
Gladstone as soon as he came within reach.
When Mr.. Gladstone came out of his
residence the wOuld-be assassin's purpose
weakened for the peculiar reason that the
venerable appearance of the premier re-
minded Townsend of his own fathers ap-
pearancc on his death-bed The pistol
slipped from the fingers of the intended
assassin, and he rushed into the park and
sank on a bench and burst into tears 1t
is asserted that Townsend made his way
into the central hall of the House of Com
mons on the same night and vigorously
denounced the home rule bill.
