GREAT heaven, AND TOPEKA.

But for individual ambition great men
would be an impossibility, or, if great,
would perish unheard of and unsung.
The application of such test reveals
more great meu in Topeka than IS
boosted by any center of population
large or small, on the globe. But the
publication OF such fact would hardly
disturb the great men of Topeka because
of their own recognition of the truth
that their greatness is inherent. Not
withstanding that town boasts two
United States Senators, a congressman
and federal officers and receivers galore,
Sundays Capital appears with the an
nouncement that Judge j. B. johnson is
a candidate for the United States senate,
General j. c. Caldwell for congressman

Hughes for secretary Of state, Hon. p.
G. Noel for state treasurer and Colonel
John NJ. Brown for auditor of state.

the list, but seems 10 regret the with
drawal of Rev. Bernard Kelly and the
farther unexplained fact that more of

A WEARY WALL.

The Kansas City Star attempts in n
weary article TO show that grain cannot
be exported as cheaply via the gulf
ports as via Kansas City and Chicago
and New York. The Star man is as
much DIT home in writing on The freight
question as humming bird would be
at the north pole. The statement is made
that grain can be hauled from Kansas
City to Chicago. distance of 500 miles
for cents pei bnshel, aud that it can be
hauled for cents from Chicago 10 New
York, a distance of 1000 miles.
Wheat is now being hauled from
Wichita to New Orleans and
Galveston fer II cent per bushel
while it costs abous 8 cents to deliver 1T
at Kansas City, making wheat worth at
worth in New Orleans or Galveston. 1t
was well understood when the grain
and trade congress was called that Kan
sas City would do all in lis power to de-
feat the purposes for which it was called,
and for that reason they were not asked
to participate in the meeting. But it
was expected that they would present
their side of the question in a manner
that would lead TO discussion OF the
question. But the bald statements
of the really young man on the Star
are too absurd for rsfutatIOn. There
were at least 200 solid business men in the
who had studied the Ques-
ton Of the long and short haul; who
have had a large experience in freight
matters. and they are called down by
that never saw bill of lading,
freight bill, or anything else emanating
from railroad, unless ir Was a free pass.
The trouble is that Kansas City is going
to lose large slice of her grain trade.

Kansas City who are practical shippers
are now negotiating 10 get a lien on the
southern export trade, realizing that

THE KANSAS JUDGESHIP.

John Martin, Pop United States sena-
tor from Kansas, of Democratic ante
cedents, who, if his case before the COM
mittee on elections is ever reached, will
lose his place, is lndustriously urging
the passage of a bill to retire United
States Judge Foster on full pay. This
persistent effort of his comes from no
love or consideration of Judge Foster,
but the incentive is his own ambition to
succeed Judge Foster in life position
of S., 600 per year. In the meantime to
make himself solid he became cuckoo
of cuckoos and for months it has not
been necessary for Mr.. Cleveland to ask
what Mr.. Martin would do. Judge Fos-
ter is a very sick man. For months he
has been in Galveston, but he has been
growing so frail of late that Mr.. Sbarritt
went down last week to bring him home.
1t is not likely that he will ever hear an
ether case. Even if he should regain
his health he will resign upon the pass
age of Mr.. Martins bill.

TIE RAIN-MAKING FRAUD.

1t should be the duty of some one to
expose the rain-making fraud. The
EAGLE is not engaged in regulating the
weather, nor in interfering with legiti-
mate private enterprises, hence has had
little TO say about it. We have believed
it was humbug from the start, and the
repeated failures of so-called expert
ments only confirm the opinion. 1t is
unscientific, for the reason that no posi-
bic agency can be employed at given
point which would create condensation
over large areas and within the cloud
radius. Theories are cheap enough, and
the stuff of which they are made is
cheaper still. Given a certain amount
of gall, with a corresponding lack of
moral rectitude, and they multiply with
the fecundity of sand fleas. AS long as
human credulity furnishes the gullible
dupe, so long viii the theorist supply

The party most culpable in
this business is the so-called professional
or itinerant rainmaker. Like most men

Pacific extension, and the Missouri Pa

THE MED OF SLEEP.

1t is difficult for on who has had nc
occasion to familiarize himself with
the subject to appreciate the conse-
quences which attend depriving the
body of the necessary amount OF sleep.
The symptoms which follow such de-
privation afford a striking example of
the intimate relation of every part OF
the body to every other part.
1t may be that the sufferer has been
placed in circumstances under which
sleep, owing to the demands made upon
his time by other matters, is practical
~ prohibited; or perhaps he has
nerved himself to perform certain
task in a specified time, and does not
obey the dictates of nature. In either
event the result is the same. The I'M
happy victim suddenly finds that he
does not feel the need of sleep. He
may at first be inclined TO congratu-
late himself. but this period of excita-
ton does not last long. for, try as he
may. he can not bring back sleep TO his
now wornout'b body.
From this point the trouble rapidly
increases. Especially is the fact dem
onstrated that the need of sleep is felt
by the entire system. 1t is true that
the entire symptoms .predominate, and
that. if the condition OF the patient is
not ameliorated, the case soon becomes
one of nervous prostration. But every
organ of the body suffers equally with
the brain The stomach is upset. the
appetite impaired-and emaciation and
debility follow.
The treatment of a person suffering
from lack of sleep is unfortunately
much compromised by the efforts of
the patient himself. Under the i'm
preston that an opiate is required he
begins the systematic administration
of some sleep-producing powder. Moth
ing could be more pernicious, as Is seen
when. after having tried in turn every
remedy, the sufferer finally finds il
next to impossible to obtain any res.
except by such unnatural means
Healthful sleep is needed, and this is
TO be obtained only by careful and pro-
longed treatment under the guidance
Of skilled medical adviser.
Opiates should seldom be admins
tered by the patient himself. and never
with the object Of directly producing
sleep--Iouth's Com paBion-
