CLEVELAND.

The Monroe doctrine finds Its rccogni-
ton in those principles of International
law which are based upon the theory that
every nation shall have it's rights pro-
tec'ed and Its just claims enforced.
OF course this government is entirely
confident that under the sanction of this
doctrine we have clear rights and un.
doubted claims.
The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1895-12-22

The doctrine upon which we stand is
strong and sound because its enforcement
is important to our peace aud safety as
nation, and is essential to the integrity
OF our free institutions and the tranquil
maintenance of our distinctive form of
government. 1t was intended to apply
to every stage of our National life. and
can not become obsolete while our repub-
lie endures.

WOMEN NEVER DID KNOW.
Mr. Stoner Intends Well bat Makes Great
Mistake and Repents.


When Mrs. s E. Stoner yesterday
concluded to go out TO Kingman to visit
some of her friends she said she could
go down and take the train all right
and her husband need not be detained
from his business.
Mr.. Stoner would not have it that way
He said women never did know how TO
travel alone and that he would not trust
his wife to go TO a depot and get on a
train.
Then Mr.. Stoner surmised half doz-
en- things that might happen. A tramp
might steal her satchel, or she might
get on the wrong train and find herself
away out on the flint hills or somewhere
else While he lived and his strong
right arm did not fail him he would
never send his wife TO a train alone.
Mrs. Stoner thought she was FORUM
ate 10 have so kind husband and when
she arrived at the depot and there were
several trains there she at once realized
the superior wisdom of her husband
and she knew everything would be all
right.
Mr.. Stoner bought ticket for King
man and when he had seated his wife
in the car he bid her good bye and
walked out with the assurance of a
man who knows his own businessa and
Mrs. Stoner gave him a look of admiTa-
ton as his manly form disappeared
from the car.
And when the train was laundering
down along the Big Arkansas toward
Mulvane the conductor took Mrs. Ston-
er's ticket and said, sorrowfully: Lady
you're On the wrong train"
Mrs. Stoner telegraphed her husband
from Mulvane and when she came back
on the next train Mr.. Stoner sent a
hack for her and he waited for the
atmosphere to cool off before going
home

STILL ON THE TRACK.
The Anti-RaiIroad People Send Mr.. Stanley
to Topeka to Guard the Legislature.


The citizens who took part in the anti
railroad meeting have not given up the
fight but still have their men on guard.
The announcement was made at the
Monday night meeting that the propos-
ed law which was published In last
Sundays Eagle would not be presented
to the legislature and it was supposed
that the whole matter would rest right
there.
It. however, appears that the men
who took part in the opposition meet
ing We're suspicious and thought the
surrender of the railroad party was
too complete. and they suspicioned
that there was something in the wind.
One of the managers of the Monday
meeting said yesterday that they were
afraid that the oTiginators OF this rail-
road scheme We're intending to trick
them and some day spring their bill on
the legislature and have 1T rushed
through before the opposition forces
could get into line to oppose 1t.
It is claimed that to prevent a sur
prise OF this kind W. E Stanley was
sent TO Topeka and will remain on
guard until the legislature adjourns so
as to prevent a surprise. Some OF the
railroad advocates who are personal
friends Of Mr.. Stanley repudiate this
story and claim that Mr.. Stanley is on
business connected with the appellate
court. and that the railroad business
will be allowed TO rest for the present

THEY ARGUED THE CASE.
Business in the District Court Goes Right
Along IN the Absence of the Jury.

Along in the Absence of the Jury.
Since Judge Reed gave the jury va
cation business goes right along in the
circuit court.
Some of it is very important business
but ii does not interest very many peO-
pie and the crowd that frequents the
court house when jury trials are on is
absent now.
A reporter for the Eagle opened the
door and peeped into Judge Reed S
court yesterday and there were just
four people present.
Judge Reed sat in one of the jurors
big arm chairs in the second row with
his feet over the top of a chair in the
front row. r. K. Vermilion leaned
against table and read to the judge
decision of the supreme court. Up.
Campell sat in a chair beside the ia
bile his bald head just above ii and
Peter Getto was reading some of the
information in the case and learning
some ancient history in connection with
Wichita.
The boys in the district clerks office
were talking OF Catholicism and Free
Masonry, and if il had not been for
the cheering that occasionally rumbled
I'D from the Appellate court room
where the grand lodge y. o. L. w.
were in session one would have won
dered what is the use in having court
house anyhow.
Judge McCanless sat alone in the coun-
ty attorneys Office and when the report
or went in he took a piece Of apple pie
out of a basket on his desk and put
the cloth back in position TO keep the
flies out if there had been any flies,
he said: Il have never seen such a
dull week in court since ] have been in
the county attorneys office. Every
body seems to be satisfied this week. L
did go down this morning to prosecute
Jim Fai.ey before a justice OF the peace
for selling whiskey but | lost the case.
Il thought l had a cinch on tnat case
but L didn't. Deputy Sheriff Williams
swore that he saw two men call Tor
whiskey and Fahey set 1t up to them
Then l put the two men referred 10 on
the stand and they both swore that
they called for whiskey but that Fahey
gave them ginger ale and every body
knows that is not intoxicating ana 10
this hour 1 cannot tell whether those
men lied or whether they put UP game
on Williams.

WENT TO THE TOP.
Bone Fox Finds IT Easier TO Climb Up Than
DnIxn.


Bone Fox thought that he would go
up into the tower of the court house
yesterday and look over the country
and see how things appeared after the
rain.
The last fifty feet OF the ascent TO the
tower is made on a ladder, steps having
never been put up. Fox went up the
ladder like an old sailor and surveyed
the country from the tower with great
complacency. 1t was nice scene 70
behold.
1t was all different when he turned to
come down. Fox looked down the lad
der and there seemed to he bottomless
pit below him. he trembled and his
stomach turned upside down and the
boys about the court house got lone
rope and went up and tied one end of
il around Foxs body and let him down
through the hole in the tower TO the
platform below.
Mr.. Fox said the scenery from the tow
er OF the court house is magnificent
but that hereafter he viii take MS obsev

HAD GLORIOUS TINE.
A. O. Z. w. Ball Last Night Was One of sthe
Pleasant Events of the Season.


The a. o. U. w. ball last
night was one of the most
pleasant affairs of the kind this
season. Long before the time an
nounced for the ball to be set rolling
the a. o. U. W. hall was filled with peo-
pie Old and young alike participated
in the pleasure of the evening From
the little girls who danced together
TO the jolly older people there was an
air Of complete content. Before the
ball opened the guests were favored
with drill by the crew. 1t was Strlk-
ingly beautiful performance, showing
great degree Of proficiency IN the In
tricate movements. At O'Clock sharp
! the orchestra sounded the grand march
Immediately the large hall floor was
covered with gentlemen and ladies
anxious to commence the festivities.
Seventy-five couple marched to the
music of Shaw's orchestra. After the
march the ball was in full sway. Pro-
fessor VIII Ford performed the du-
ties of floor manager. At IL O'Clock
the audience was informed that Pro-
fessor Horace Huron, prominent a.
o. L. W. man as well as an excellent
musician and impersonator, would rem
der his popular "Steeple Chimes" on
the banjo. The audience, most Of
whom had never had the pleasure of
hearing Professor Huron before, were
perfectly delighted with the perform
ance. Although the professor stated
afterwards that the damp weather
prevented his banjt giving perfect
tunes, the audience would not believe
that his rendition could be improved.
| The applause following the selection
was almost deafening- After Profess
SCR Huron'S entertaining selection the
ball was once again started and kept
up till early morning. 1t is super
fous TO state that all We're pleased.
One look at the gay assemblage would
have satisfied and doubtor. All desire
a repetition of the pleasure of the
evening and extend to the a. o. L. w.
their best wishes.

audiences of the season The clever
production has played engagements
here during the last three seasons. and
at each return visit the business has
been larger than on the preceding
trip. From all present indications this
engagement Will prove no exception,
and in all probability people will find
it difficult to get seats for the remain
ing performances. OF the members of
the cast il Is sufficient to say were all
capable and reflected credit upon the
judgment OF the management in max
ing the selections One of the fea-
lures which adds much to the general
effect OF the production is the perfec-
ton Of the stage appurtenances- The
scenery used is appropriate and in
genious, and in connection with the
electrical appliances. calcium and me
chanical effect, combine 10 make a
production the like OF which is rarely
seen on the stage, The Broken
Scene in the fourth act, is marvel
of realism and sight once seen is not
easily forgotten. In this Mephisto is
discovered upon craggy height-the
entral figure-in a shower OF falling
I eteors. directing with a star-tipped
wand the revels of the imps and lost
spirits. The costumes throughout are
elegant and up to the general high
standard of the other appurtenances-
