all the other towns in Kansas, a town
with quarter of a million people south
of it who are to be fed, clothed and

in that day and age when the commerce
of northwest Missouri was railroad
ties, hoop-pofes, moonshine whisky an d
dog leg tobacco, and the Mis-
sourians refused to trade there because
the word 'sKansas" was in its corporate
name, and to pronounce the name acted
as carthartic on them. Memoranda:

And If we do but watch the hour.

'''Tis this, and all this that to me
proves that some day-some near and
distant day-the wrongs that bind and
fetter Wichita will be cut and it will
then be free to pursue its destiny and be
the arbiter Of the fortunes of others; un-
checked and unhindered by those whose
commercial methods, love of wealth,
prosperity and business maxims, is
guaged by the narrow and selfish doc
trine that prosperity to others is of neces-
sity detriment, loss and damage to
self. To put it plain. The action of the
Missouri towns, in Kansas, is a confess
sion and open declaration that railway
rates extended to Wichita will enable it
to develop trade and become a COM
mercial city. That as their geographical
location prevents their ever being any
thing but towns they are opposed to
having any city in Kansas. ZOK.

HOPE AND PATRIOTISM NO. q.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
1t may be that some of the men who
were "in it" in 1886, and lost thousands
by paying at the rate of 81, 900 per acre
for land worth now per cent of that
"hull-malked" value, may recoup by
buying land Of like character on the
present ''bear market and sell out when
the "bulls" conclude to hunt new graz
ing land in Kansas.
The writer hereof has "faith" in
Wichita, just because it was the only
thing not sold, pledged. pawned, mortg-
aged or put into corporate shares. Sec
ond, this is cheap investment and is
not taxable for local Improvements,
street assessments, general taxation or
ieopardized by the income tax "bill. ="
Third, it does a man good to have faith,
faith in himself, his neighbor, humanity
in general and his own particular world
and home community. This, in one
sense, is local patriotism and has the
same relationship relatively to patriot
ism or love of country.
Patriotism is said, by historian. to
be the duty we owe to stand by the
government that protects us. As in the
older day the vassal took the oath of
feaity to his lord, every man sheltered
meath ''stars and stripes owes fealty
to our government. and i'll a kindred
sense, every one who lives in Wichita is
by the law of analogy. good breeding.
common decency, and patriotism under
bond to do fealty to Wichita, and he is
cross twixt cayotte and polecat If he
don't stand up for us. And even though
he should lie little. as Cicero desired

WHAT WOLF sCALPs COST KANSAS.

Owing to the losses every year of so
many sheep, pigs, calves and fowls from
depredatlons by wolves, coyotes, wild
cats and foxes the Kansas Improved
Stock Breeders at their annual meeting
in January appointed committee to
work fer such legislation as would
authorize higher bounty, at least for
wolf scalps-the amended law Of 1889
authorizing county commissioners to
pay not to exceed So for each scalp. To
aid the committee, at least to the extent
of knowing definitely what has been
done under the new law, Secretary Co.
burn of the State Board of Agriculture
has interviewed each one of the county
clerks in the state as to the amount ex-
pended by his county in each Of the four
years mentioned toward the extermina-
tion of the predatory prowlers.
From the 105 counties 96 reports were
received and 9 counties failed or declined
to report. Seventy paid and %
have not paid bounties. In 1890, 80
counties paid 1910; in 1891. 5S coun-
ties paid $15,233; in 1892, 81 counties
paid S14. .931, and in 1898, 65 counties
paid ST, ,594, The total amount paid in
the four years by 73 counties is S59,66S.
The average amount paid by the 90
paving counties in 1890 was S229; in
1891 by 5S counties was S262: in 1892 by
81 counties was $262, and in 1898 by 65
counties was $27l. The average paid in
each of the four years by the q counties
was $S17.
The largest sum expended has been by
Ford county, which in 1891 so, paid out
81, 443.05; Clark county is second in the
list and has invested $3,5S5.56, and
Trego paid S3,219. Cheyenne headed
the list in 1898 with So, 2,044, while Clark
paid 81. .SSS. so, or more than three times
as much as was paid by any other
county except Cheyenne.
The foregoing figures include the
bounties paid on few fox, wild cat and
rabbit scalps, but in the main represent
wolves or coyotes. In the various
counties the amounts per scalp have
been 80 cents for cubs and from 81 to 50
for grown wolves. Secretary Coburn
saws that the assessors last year reported
157, 900 dogs in the state and he thinks
if these were what they ought to be and
used to the best advantage there would
be less need to pay bountles and fewer
varmints on which to pay them.
