DISASTROUS PRAIRIE FIRES.

About eight thousand acres of farm
ing and pasture lands in Southeastern
Reno and western Harvey counties were
devastated by fire Sunday. Several
dwelling houses, barns, stables, ETC.,
were consumed together with their con-
tents, though no casualties to human
life are reported. The fire originated
from a spark from locomotive on the
Rock Island road, the high wind driving
the flames so rapidly that it was impossi-
bic to successfully combat them. Large
quantities of grain and hay were de-
stroyed, and also small stock and fowls.
Further west even greater destruction
was wrought the day before. The
Hutchinson News of Monday afternoon
contained the following:
Passengers from western Kansas to-
day report the most destructive prairie
fires in the history of that section, as
having ragged last Friday and Saturday
How the fires originated is net known
A furions gale was blowing from the
north on both days. and large portions
of Cove, Lane, Ness, Hodgenan and
Garfield counties were swept By the
flames. Three lives We're lost III Ness
county in the efforts of the farmers to
stay the terrible onward sweep of the
destroyer, but the names were not OBJ
tanned. Doubtless when details of the
devastation are at hand the list OF casual
ties will be larger. The little town OF
Hadley on the Missouri Pacific, was only
saved from destruction after desperate
struggle. The financial losses sustained
by the farmers cannot be estimated"

Kane's own application. said he, '.Ad-

desperate enterprises equally ready to
preach the Gospel or lead forlorn
hope on the enemy's breastworks-

SHALL OKLAHOMA EXHIBIT.

Ore of the arguments advanced why
there should be no appropriation made
by the legislature for placing Okla
homa's exhibit in place and maintaining
it at Chicago, is that "We do not want
any more people in this territory"
Surely no man who has duly considered
and reflected would advance this argu-
ment seriously. 1t may be true that
Oklahoma farming lands are all occu-
pied, yet would it not be for the benefit
and advantage of the farmer to have an
increased population to supply. To have
populous cities which would enable him
to market his products at home instead
of shipping them to such remote locali-
ties that their value is consumed by
freight charges? This argument if lit.
orally carried into effect means that that
beautiful and rich country must stop
where it is. instead of inviting people
and capital there to aid them in building
up rich and populous state.

How Some Of Them Have Been Obtained
by Persfstent Seekers.
People sometimes obtain work from
Uncle Sam in peculiar ways. Not SO
very long ago a poetess of passion in .
far western state became an ofice-seek-
er, adopting novel method Of pursuing
he- object. She appealed to a United
States senator, bombarding him with
poetry by mail. Once week regularly
he received from her a long letter in the
shape of poem. Sometimes he got
two a week. The poetry was proba-
bly, the worst that any poetess of pas
sion had ever produced At first he
paid no attention to it; but, at length,
it began to prey upon his mind When
this sort of thing had gone on for five or
six months he became desperate. So
finally he wrote to her, saying:
"Your poems have proved 70 me that
you are unfit for any public Office. New
ertheless, if you will cease writing and
sending them to me will get you o

a man appointed sixth auditor of the
treasury, subject to examination, was
asked to state the distance of the moon
from the earth. His written answer
was simply: ''Not near enough to affect
the functions of sixth auditor" He

WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PAPERS
SAY OF CLEVELAND AND
HARRISON

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
The New York Herald and Sun were
both staunch supporters of Grover Cleve-
land, as the Democratic candidate for
president. last fall. John Russell Young
has this to say of Mr.. Cleveland:
'If Mr.. Cleveland's conception Is cor
rect, then Washington was wrong, and
Adams and Lincoln likewise. Then for
the first time in our history we
understand what the Office means. We
see in it czariSm as exemplitied by 40
car since Peter the Great.
1.-The president begins with q free, dar-
ing hand. His experiments will awaken
affectionate interest, for as people we
love novelties and change. Republicans
for themselves wish him well with this
Gresham grating or any other expert
ment which will demonstrate the strange
infatuation of last November-an infat-
nation which, in the very spirit or
wantonness, threw aside one of the
wisest and most patriotic of administra-
tons. We will then understand the
full meaning of that delusion with
which nation, with its granaries tenn
ing with plenty and every point of the
horizon beaming with prosperity, could
invoke the destiny which now begins its
ominous march in Washington"
1t would seem from this, that the
Herald thinks that President Harrison
administration was lone of the wisest
and most patriotic" in the history of the
country, and that with the granaries
teeming with plenty and every point of
the horizon beaming with prosperity"
the people who voted for a change must
have been laboring under "delusion. ="
What pity they did not discover the
.'delusion" before election.
The New York Sun says of President
Harrison:
"Whatever may have been his mis-
takes or shortcomings il other respects,
he has never wavered in his
fidelity 10 tie flag that is
the glory and the pride OF our sixty-five
millions OF people. His country's busi-
ness with o.her nations OF the earth has
