RABBITS AND CHARITY.

In discussing the matter of turning over
the Mrs. Walden charity concert fund,
amounting to sonnet hing like 5000. to the
Humane society, yesterday, gentleman
who has been very liberal with bis time
and money. related circumstances which
the people ought to know about. The Dad
Fellows of Goddard got up II rabbit hunt
the other day in the interest OF the poor OF
Wichita. Two hundred and fifty fat
fellows Of both species were taken, and Mr.
o. c. Heron was del-gaied to deliver
them. He arrived in town yesterday and
was referred toy some one 30 Policeman
Slower AS an officer set apart to look after
the poor. When the rabbits were offered
to Slower he is quoted as repl ,ing that
it would take thirty miles OF
driving TO deliver such u num-
ber of rabbits to the really
needy, so many of whom live ia the out
skirts of tbs city. Mr.. Heron says he
gave him 10 understand that he, Slower,
wanted nothing to do with them. This
proved discouraging to man who will
have driven more than thirty miles for
charity 3 sake. to say nothing of the labor
aud expense of his lodge in securing them.
He hunted UP Mr.. Cash Henderson and
came to the editor of the EAGLE with the
matter. 1t was finally agreed TO put them
in front of his own store and eudeavor to
see that that they were gwen directly or
distributed to the needy. The deserving
and desiring can go or send there for them.
As the EAGLE has already three or four
several times asserted, it is a diff
cult matter to reach the worthy who
are in need. 1t can't or won't be

THE pARASOI ANT.
How the Industrious Insect Acquired Its
Queer Name.


Queer Name.
The fact that the ''parasol ant" of
the West Indies has grown to- be such
a pest that the government of Trinidad
has had to adopt appropriate legisla-
ton against its ravages draws a.ten-
ton to the remarkable habits of the
little creature. 1t has been definitely
determined that they do not cut the
circular bite out of the leaves that
they bear away so like parasol over
their heads. for the purpose of eating
them, or for nest lining, as has been
suggested. These bits of leaves are
simply wanted as the soil on which to
cultivate certain sort of fungus that
they feed upon; and the ants are ss
expert in its culture as any market
gardener of Paris in the growing OF
his beloved mushrooms. A nest OF
these tiny agriculturists has thus been
described By the director OF public
works Of Trinidad. who has had them
on his study table: Each forager
dropped his portion Of leaf in the nest,
and it was taken up bya small worker
and carried TO a clear space 70
he cleaned. IT was then taken
in hand by the large workers, which,
after licking 1t with their tongues, re-
duced Il TO a small, black ball Of pulp
These balls were built on the edge Of
the already formed fungus bed, and
slightly snoothed down. The new
surface was then planted with portions
of the fungus brought from other
parts of the nest. Each piece is put ia
separately, and the ants know exactly
how far apar. the plants should be IT

THEY HAVE AGREED
CONTEST COURT DECISION TO BE
RENDERED THIS MORNING.
Judges are All Very Reticent and
They Alone Know What the Result
Will Be-There are Some Iudi-
cations That the Decision
is Unanimous.

The decision of the contest court will be
rendered in the Schaup-Webb case at 10
o'clock this morning.
The decision will be rendered orally,
which indicates that it is a unanimous one.
1t will probably be rendered by Judge
Stratton OF the probate court, who is what
might be termed the chief justice in the
Case
What the decision is no living soul
knows except the three judges, and II is
altogether safe to say that no three men
could be found in the county who are more
close mouihed. Il is no exaggeration to
say that fifty men went to them in
hopes OF hearing from their lips some hint
indicating what the decision will be. but
every case was a failure.
Judge B.bb said: 1--WE will give in the
decision at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, :"
That is the way Judge Babb disposed of
every seeker after Information.
Judge Stratton seemed to be in good
humor and would talk quite freely on the
subject of the contest until a certain point
was reached, and then he would freeze
stiff. He would tell one everything de-
sired except matters relating to the
decision and what 1t would be. The
only thing he would say is
that the decision would be orally rendered
and if anybody wanted it he should bring
a stenographsr along.
Judge Wall generally interviewed the
interviewer.
"What will be your decision judge" he
was asked.
what do you think?" was his cold re-
ply.
'Have the judges agreed upon deci'
sion."
"a decision will be rendered tomorrow
moruin5"
"Will it be in favor of Webb OF
Schaup7"
"Who do you think it will be in favor
of? By the way, have you ever seen finel
weather at this season Of the year?"
''No. But that is not the question"
"Well, sir, the question of weather i:
a matter that interests every kansan. Oul
prosperity depends on the state OF th.
weather more than anything else. Oul

The case of the city against Harris. the
outgrowth of neighborhood quarrel, was
called in the police cour: yesterday, and
continued till the 14th.
The bastile is full of tramps and dead

authorities some concern how to dispose OF
them, and it is probable that they will be

There remains yet in the police poor
