South America, and by cutting q
path across this strip of land ships
would save nearly two thousand miles
in the trip to the Pacific. This en-.
terprise seems stupendOus at first
thought, and it is a big project. But
it is no largerth than many other things
man has attemptedond accomplished.
People laughed at De Lesseps when
he began the construction Of the Sue2
canal. They called it the scheme OF
a dreamer. But when the mighty
enterprise was accomplished, the
world dotted its cap in recognition OF
the work.

Of the people who are governed, why
has it not a right to appropriate an
adequate sum to promote this enter
prise that would be a gCdsend to our
commerce and vastly increase our
power?
Northern cities oppose the project
because they see in it an eclipse OF
the Importance of their ports, a
drawing off of business from them.
With the canal in existence New
Orleans would become the largest
port in America, while Mobile and
other southern ports would realize
an enormous increase in business.
In the industrial and commercial
union Of the South and West the
North sees an eclipse of her suprem-
acy, and she will do all in her power
to prevent the accomplishment Of the
enterprise. This is the real secret
Of her opposition.
The canal will be built IN time; If
not with government aid, then by
private enterprise. 1t is too great a
power to put in private hands. 1t
should be under the direct and abso-
Lutte control of the United States
government.

a HEART MESSAGE.
Mrs. Foster Sends Greeting to Her Forme r
Co-Laborer' ana Blessings for
the Children.

To the friends and co-wOrkers at Wichita. Kan:
A member of the 'Children's Home"
board asked me TO send on EAGLES wings
a message OF some sort; so here goes to one
and all of the dear old friends, and es-
pecially to those who are at the helm in
work for. the homeless, friendless little
ones. Never a day have you and they been
out of my mind or prayers or love in the
two years that have separated us; and
rs the time for the annual meeting draws
near and the accounts are to be rendered;
as l remember the poverty. wretchedness
aud restitution that the efficient and
faithful president has met in her visits to
the sin-darkened homes; as l recall the
constant. anxious toll of her noble CO.
workers, and fancy the depleted treasury
in the midst of "hard times" it seems al
most a mockery TO send you only words,
instead of dollars. But the Father knows
my great desire, and may He put it into
the hearts of many more friends to do
largely for the "bairns" and the home
that shelters them, while it is a passage
way to hearts and homes heretofore child

l firmly believe that prevention OF crime
is the duty OF society, and the removal of
causes from which crime springs, its chief
concern. Il civil authorities cannot and
do not attend to the needy, neglected
children that go To swell the great lists of
crime, paupeIism and insanity, then
Christian philanthropy should do it. l re-
jcice that the good people of Wichita real
lze this. Christianity, thank God, Is COM
ing TO be more and more practical IN its
aspects and work. y religion that neg.

neglects her infant with the expectation
that manhood will set everything right.
Genuine goodness Is a working together
with God in this world for the uplifting
and advancement of the human race. 1t
is seeking to lessen the pains and bur
dens of life among the strugglers and toll

children of poverty and want. the helpless
little ones who have been hurled prema-
turely against the life-wrecking problems
OF existence.
Dear friends. beg OF you, do not let the
streams of assistance cease to flow, freely,
lovingly, joyfuly, into that blessed Home
on the Hill, that It may send forth no I'M

old locomotive engineers running into

Then he looked up, as if he wanted to

that he was pounding on the left side,
and if he wasn't careful he'd drop his
ashpan.
But he didn't hear. No one heard
me. Everything was flying and whiz-
zing. Telegraph poles on the side Of

an act of irreverence to initiate these
dances, but we children thought other
wise: therefore we quite frequently
enjoyed in secret one Of these per-
formances We used to observe all
the important ceremonies and Gus
toms attending it, and it required
something of an actor to reproduce the
dramatic features of the dance. The
real dances usually occupied day and
a night, and the programme was long
and varied, SO that it was not easy to
execute all the details perfectly; but
the Indian children are born imitators
I was often selected as choirmaster
on these occasions, for had happened
to learn many of the medicine songs.
and was quite an apt mimic. My
grandmother, who was q noted medi-
cine woman, on hearing of these
sacrilegious acts las she called them),
warned me that if any of the medicine
men should learn of my conduct they
would punish me terribly by shriveling
nv limbs with slow disease.
Occasionally we also played white
man" Our knowledge of the pale-face
was limited, but we had learned that
he brought goods whenever he came.
and that our people exchanged
furs for his merchandise. We also
knew, somehow, LAT his complexion
was white, that he wore short hair on
his head and long hair on his face. and
that he had coat, trousers and hat, and
did not patronize blankets in the day
time. This was the picture we had
formed of the white man. So we paint
ed two or three of our number with
white clay, and put on them birchen
hats. which we sewed up for the occa-
sion. fastened piece Of fur to their
chins for q beard, and altered their
costume as much as lay within our
power. The white of the birch bark
was made to answer for their white
skirts. Their merchandise consisted of
sand for sugar, wild beans for coffee,
dried leaves for tea. pulverized earth
for gunpowder, pebbles for bullets,
and clear water for dangerous Sire
water" We traded for these goods
with skins.-Dr. Charles A. Eastman,

Many of the delegates from the southern
tier OF counties arrived in the city yester
day enroute to Newton. They were al
iusty Long champions and, of course. re
! allied that he will be nominated on the
first ballot as il is generally understood
| among them that he has already secured
an acknowledged majority of the delee ates
The news circulated that Jerry Simpson
was dying yesterday caused no little inter
est among them for if Mr.. Simpson died
during the night as some expected and as
reports Indicated, today's convention
would have another duty to perform and
that is the selection of candidate to fill
his unexpired term of Office which would
last till the fourth day of next March.
III such an event occurred some thought
that Chester /. Long would be the nomi-
nee for both the long and the short term.
while Others thought that strong pull
would be made for Nike Sutton. This
latter prediction was made upon the
theory that as the election for the long
and short term would take place at one
time it would be better to have two men
In the field, one from the eastern and one
from the western part of the district. thus
giving the Republicans double strength
IL the campaign.
1t was the general opinion that in the
event of Mr.. Simpsons death, Harry
lands of Medicine Lodge, who Is state
senator, would get the Populist nominal
tlon. This nomination would be
pleasing to Longs friends, rs Ian
dis would have no show whatever
Tor the Democratic vote. He is an ex-
Republican and has always been since he
has been in politics fighting the Demo-
cratic party. Barber county used to be
very close, particularly few years ago,
and Lands WAS always on the side of the
party arrayed against the Democrats when
they had a fair fighting chance and when
every man counted.
Then again the Coxey movement will
cut big figure in Kansas politics this
year: People generally DO not think so.
but 1t is fact nevertheless. IL will be
the means that will open up chasm be-
tween the Populist and Democratic par
ties that no amount of taffy on the part of
the Populists will bridge. Think
ing Democrats are beginning to
suspect the Populists OF being
the real backing of the Coxey
movement. and that their purpose is to
embarrass the Democratic administration.
Certainly no other party, but the party in
power, can be unfavorably affected by the
movement. 1t does not then require any
great amount of discernment to see that a
deadly blow Is being aimed at the Demo.
cratic party DY the PopullSts. On the
oGher hand. the record of the administra-
ton is such that the rank and file of the
Democrats will be very Indifferent about
its success, and the result Will be a very
heavy Democratic stay-at-home or GO
fishing vote next November.
Last Saturday night, when the Coxey
movement was held III this city, it was
actually contemplated and planned by
leading Democrats to stuff the hall, and if
unable to indorse the administration, to
break up the meeting

Wife Applies or Divorce on the Ground OF Cru
city and Neglect.

Mary c. Crow has now become dissatis-
fed with being called the better half of
Edgar o. Crow and yesterday petitioned
the district court to allow her to sever the
matrimonial knot
She alleges cruelty and neglect. During
April. 1890, she claims that he struck her
on her arm with his boot and on her shout
der three times with mis- fist. b-uising and
wounding her. She also charges him with
drunkenness and rioting.
While he is in good state of health and
bodily able to work. she continues, he is
not willing to do so and has refused, and
refuses to support her. The quarrels
arising, she AYERS. from the fact tnat she
refused to support him.
They have been married eleven years
but have no children. She therefore asks
the court for an absolute divorce and the
restoration of her maiden name, Mary c.

ROBBED A DUMMY.

G. B. Wade attempted TO procure q coat
for nothing yesterday. He thought long
about this and as he passed along in front
Of the Famous clothing store his longing
eye rested on dummy who sported q coat
all for show. .'You dude" thought Mr.
Wade, "I'll teach you to dress up for
nothing bnt show"
With such thoughts he stripped the
dummy and disappeared up the stairway
just west of the store, thinking to mud u
back stair, but his calculations were cut
short as be came against rear PARTON
just in time to bound back into the
clutches of the storekeeper, who delivered
him over to the police for safe keeping.
