MAY THEY LIVE FOREVER.
Fourten-Year-Old Girl Surroundec with
Flowers Forgets Her Sickness

81 must drive away up above Four
tenth street TO see a little sick girl,
said DR.. St. John last night, 'and
guess l have a case of typhoid fever"
There We're four men present in that
crowd who were enough interested in
what the doctor said 10 draw near and
enquire about the case.
One and perhaps two of those men
who interested themselves in that little
girl have been abused by influences in
the good citizens meetings.
What is the little girls name?" ask
ed one. Her name is FLORENCE Ander-
son." answered the doctor, land her
father is in distant city where he went
to get work" And one of the four men
proposed 10 send the little girl a nice
boquet and each one said he would send
II and the consequence was that four
boquets We're ordered.
Come and take ride said DR.. st.
John TO an Eagle reporter and he drove
TO the home of William and Lavenia
Anderson. There on a clean bed lay
Florence pale and thin. her pale white
face made to appear more white in con-
trast with her luxurant black hair.
Some friends have sent you some
medicine that I think will help you
said DR.. St. John. as he removed the lid
from paper box, the fragrance from
the beautiful flowers rising and filing
the room.
Quick as thought that little 14-year-
old girl was sitting upright in bed and
she extended her delicate thin hands
and while her black eyes sparkled with
delight she said: 20, wish they would
live for ever No man who had ever
emerged from poverty TO comparative
wealth was ever better pleased than
that little sick girl.
Sometimes il does not cost one very
much to make people happy. Those
flowers cost something because they
were the finest that could be had but II
those four men could have seen that
grateful little girl il would have re-
quired fortune TO have Induced them
to take those flowers away from that

ALL MUST PAY II.
Comfy as Well as City People Must Pay tn
Piper

F. L. James, a farmer from The ba axis
of the classic Cowskin, called al the
Eagle office yesterday 20 tini cut
whether the county as well as the city
has TO pay the costs in the prohibition
prosecutions now going on.
There seems TO he a differed = of
opinion about the subject, many Of MS
neighbors holding that as :he eases
are tried before the police judge the
costs Will fall upon the city. That
however, is a mistake; the cos'S viii
fall upon the farmers and city people
alike. The cases are not brought ur-
der the city ordinances for they have
been repealed and they are being tried
before Judge Hatton not as u ;.oIce
judge but as a justice Of the peace.
If Judge Hatton was trying the cases
as q police judge merely he would have
no power 10 call upon the farmers to
serve on the jury. No, the cases are
regular state cases, brought and pro-
secuted by Mr.. Campbell in the capac-
ity of assistant attorney general Tor
the whole county and the costs will
fall on all alike, toWnspeople as well
as farmers.

The third paragraph of the third
chapter of the proceedings growing out
! OF the Citizens club case has been COM
pleted. 1t is a farce.
Yesterday was the third ay of the
trial Of the defendants. and II the pro-
ceedings tended 20 convince anybody
that Assistant Attorney Gneeral Camp
bell and his hand full of impractical bles
are are promoting the material and
moral interests OF Wichita or OF Sedg-
wick county by these prosecutions he
kept that fact a profound secret.
The disgust not only broadens but
deepens as the farce continues and It
was very apparent yesterday that this
feeling Of disgust has taken hold OF
Judge Hatton.
When court was called to order yes
terday mornig the ten jurors were In
their places and two empty chairs pro-
claimed the impotent attempt that was
being made to secure jury.
Citizens were called from the large
crowds present who promptly filed the
vacant chairs, and then Just so prompt
" vacated when the assistant attorney
general fired a few questions at them
In regard 10 the case and the law. They
had either formed an opinion or the
penalty provided was too severe
Judge EattOn gave up in despair and
he announced that special venire was
being summoned from the country and
that there was no use in bringing these
men after the jury was completed. He
said they would appear in court at
$50 o'clock this morning and he would
adjourn court until that time.
The men who were subpoenaed from
the country are as follows:
Waco township. y. Atwood, G.. L.
Blood, l.. Bigelow, Steve Balch. /. ".
Dean. 2. K. Gish. Ed HOrner, s y.
Hazen. Frank Rogers. Grant Tyson.

c. Cooley, r. S. Cook. Robert Darrah.
A. c. Disbrow, j. II. Gould. George s.
Hutchinson. Q. D. Kirk. William Mat
thewson, o. III. Reed. J. W. Skinner.

y. Mccormick. +. o. Martinson. Jas.
Pickens, sr., E. L. Simpson. A. c.
Stearns, p. A. Weyrick, w. J. Wey-
rick.
IneSe men. VINO VIII De brought IN
from the country, are good men. and
for the sake of soon stopping the ex-
pense a good many people hope that
jury will be secured. Oothers claim
that it makes no difference because
Tiger Bill intends TO keep the machin-
cry grinding anyhow and it might as
well grind on this case as any other.
The question has been raised as to
where the next jury is to come from.
Every man arrested will now doubtless
claim ajury trial and this one has dem
onstrated that no business man will
sit on one OF these cases IL he can find
a hole to crawl out Of.
Bushes men refer to this fact and re-
mark that il is burlesque and farce
10 continue prosecutions in eases that
nobody are interested except citizens Of
Wichita and then be compelled 10 go
outside of the city for jurors.

for him in a few days"
In what capacity?"
Il am not yet prepared to say"
DO the commissioners propose any
further prosecutions"
Give us time and we will show you.
We will make you fellows believe that
we propose to enforce the law when we
get around 10 it,
1t is almost an act of cruelty to in
terview Mr.. Lieurance. He is very
supicious and in trying to avoid GER
tain admissions he runs into them and
reporter, unless he is too mean, helps
him out for comparisons sake rather
than push him deeper into his embar-
easements.
MORE CHANGES WILL BE MADE.
When asked whether any more
changes would be made in the police
force he said that several changes
would be made in short time and that
the commissioners had enough applica-
lions now from good men to fill up the
entire force. He said that they would
pick out men on account of their eff
ficiency.
viii the chief of police recommend
the dismissal of some of his men for
lack Of efficiency"
We will attend to that ourselves"
Well, are you people VINO are new
at this business competent TO pass on
the efficiency of officers without con-
sulta ton with the chief?'
I'VE near z great deal about outside
people and we will be responsible for
what changes we may make If they
are not wise we will be responsible for
them
PARK TO BE FIRED.
The fact is that the commissioners
have under consideration the disnis-
sal of Chief Massey and it need sur
prise nobody if his head falls off before
the month Of September is a day oil
1t IS said that Lew Aspy was put on
the force for the purpose of making
him CHIEF Of police. He was crCe
made chief Of police by Colonel Lewis
when that gentleman undertook 70 en-
force the law and it is an open secret
that Colonel Lewis wants him a the
head of the police department again
Charlie Burrows is mentioned for the
place but he will have a hard time get
and Billy Smith, who. il appears, are
the real power behind the throne
since the commissioners expressed
their feeling towards Mr. Colt IL such
a pronounced manner.
At present Mr.. Downing is construct
lively policeman. He draws his ray,
or rather he is on the pay roll IS usral,
but he is not doing duty which, acco, d.
ing to the ideas of the commissioners
is IN the interest of economy.

revolutions per minute, and struck him

bowels. cutting them badly. DR.. Wood
from your town was telegraphed for at
once but he was powerless to help him,
as his case was beyond all human skill
He lived about hve hours and was con-
| scious 10 the last. His father came
from Wilmington to accompany the
remains home.
Mr.. MAYO was general favorite with
all the operatives, as we'll a the people
Of the town. and his sad death has cast
considerable gloom over our town.
The superintendent said Mr.. Mayo WAS
one of the best young men ever III his
employ. Our town extends its deepest
sympathy to the bereared and grief
stricken parents.
In a wrestling match between two
negroes last Thursday, one had the
misfortune to get his arm broken.
Miss Lou Smith of your town has

Their efforts are appreciated ana their
GOOD work Is telling in prospects Tor

They have obtained two scholarships
for the school one from Washington and

the other for Wake Forest college.
The scholarships will be given as prize
for the most efficient work IN certain
lines which Mess. Prince q Wilson
will announce at the opening OF the
next session. The scholarship at the
Washington and Lee University VIII
