NEW YORK PILOT DROWNED?
Report of the Finding of Capt. Ait
ken's Body at New London.

The reported finding Of the body OF
Capt. Charles C. Aiken. of the New
York pilot-boat Ambrose Snow, No. r.
floating in the harbor at New London,
Conn.,, last evening. IL the sole topic OF
conversation at the headquarters Of the
Sandy Hook pilots at "A State street to-
day.
1t Is not known whether the Snow has
met with disaster. She was last seen 43O
miles off shore last Monday, under easy
sale. An undertaken has gone to New
London to bring back Capt Athens
body.
arious conjectures are made as to how
Capt. Aitken met death, II, indeed, the
body found at New London proves to
be that of the pilot.
The first theory advanced is that the
Snow fouadered in the heavy gales
prevalent of late, and that Capt. Ait
ken's body was washed ashore. But
many of the pilots scout this idea
claiming that the Snow was too stanch
boat and carried too able a crew to
succumb to any stress of weather that
has been reported by incoming vessels
since she left her moorngs off Tomp-
kinsville. They claim that Capt Aitken
landed a. New London.
The Snow put out last Friday from this
port, having on board besides Capt.
Aiken. Pllots Ed. Braun, Charles Sam
son and Robert Yates, and crew OF
four men.
She would have reached New London
very easily that evening. and she may
have put in there to keep out OF that
nights heavy blow. Two reports have
been received of the Snow at the Pilot
Commissioners-one that she sailed from
New London last Saturday morning, and
the other that she kept on after a brief
stop Friday evening.
A telegram was received from New
London by the Pilot Board, announcing
the discovery of Capt Atkins body
point.
One of the men in the office took the
message to Capt. Atkins home at 254

little or No Similarity Between Might
Hawks and Whip-poor-wiIlA
Upon comparing a night hawk with
. whip-poor-will we find that, apart
from the very well defined difference
these birds exhibit in their internal
structure, and in the general tone and
markings of their plumage, there are a
few external striking features that
ought to enable any person to distin-
guish one from the other at the most
casual glance.
/ refer especially to the long, con.
spicuous bristles projecting from bout
the mouth of the whip-poor-will, a
character almost entirely absent in the
night hawk Further, the tail of the
former is very much rounded. with its
four middle feathers like those of the
back, the three outer ones, on either
side, having their terminal feathers
white. In the night hawk the last
mentioned portions are black. and the
form of the tail is very different Our
night hawk also has a distinctive white
patch on the outer aspect of each wing,
which is not present in the whip-poor.

birds are by no means similar. The
whip-poor-will, with rare exceptions
and under certain circumstances. is
active and feeding from dark until day.

forest all day. the very reverse of this
being the case with the night hawk.
In some localities the latter is known

which it INDUCES while out abroad for

The Gulf and Interstate railroad, the
charter for which was filed last week at
Topeka, is to cost not more than S15, 900
per mile and to be bonded for not more
than $4,000. 1t is expected that stock
to the amount of five thousand per mile
will be taken by individuals, counties,
towns and cities. Income transporta-
ton bonds IN sums of So and upwards,
bearing interest, are to be issued to pay
right of way, grading, etc. The main
line is TO run from the gulf to lake Su-
perior, with branches. The main line
across Kansas is to cross the Oklahoma
line at the southwest corner, of Cowley,
run through Wichita and go out of the
state at the northwest corner of Marshall
county. The capital stock is placed at
millions of dollars.

The extensive shops at Topeka of the
Santa Fe railroad were closed last Sat-

throwing out of employment and into
the ranks of the great army of the idle
twelve to fifteen hundred men. The
following brief statement from General
Manager Frey explains the cause of the
shut down and the general business
situation, and is a sufficient commentary
on the destructive policy of the. party In

THEY ARE COMING.

Persons who are in q position to know
declare that the demand from the east
for western lands at the present tire has
scarcely been exceeded, certainly not if
we except the boom period of 1856.
Nor is the demand confined to the far
east. Farmers in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
and even as far northwest as Iowa, who
have been tilling rented lands and each
year have found it hard to raise enough
produce to pay rent and keep their fam
lilies through the long, hard winters, are
being attracted to Kansas.
Every real estate dealer will tell you
that the demand for farming lands is
rapidly increasing. One great thing in
favor of Kansas is its proximity and easy
access to good markets. This fact is
realized by the farmers in other states.
They are not looking for free or govern
ment lands, but want to buy improved
farms.
To the New Highlander, who has to
spend days trying to get rid Of some big
boulder in order to farm his little patch
of land, the broad and fertile prairies of
the west look like a paradise, and such
it really is when New England thrift and
economy is joined together with tho
natural resources of western land. The
time is coming and that soon when every
available acre Of western land will be
successfully put under cultivation.
The tide is surely coming this way and
it means renewed prosperity for Kansas.

For the Eagle:
TO A BROKEN PEN.

Ne'er again,
o, my pen.
On the thoughts of little men,
Can you hope to vent the spite
Ihave given you to write.
Liberty
You shall see,
Who have long been slave to me,
And with inky cares oppressed,
You shall have unbroken rest.
Not alone,
Nor unknown,
Have your tolls and talents grown,
And your efforts well may claim,
From the world little fame.
But your deeds
Sowed the seeds
OF disaster, and the needs
Or success supplied NO breath
For the lips OF age and death.
For the side,
Once your pride,
And with steely zeal supplied,
Now is broken, bent and crossed,
And the other side is lost.
Slaves are few,
Who SO true
Serve their masters as have you;
For your toll from youth TO age
was suffered to engage.
Once my muse,
Out of use,
i can give you no abuse;
You shall in my window lay.
There to sleep the years away.
Ever you.
Faithful, true,
Sang your song and did your do;
And though broken, you remain
Queen of all, you still shall reign.
Though no more,
As of yore,
Leaving words that lessons hold.
You are dearer far than gold.
Thus, Farewell"
Thee tell.
Who hast ever served me well,
o. my pen, forever laid
In my window and the shade.
