The Troians have come. seen, con-
quered and gone They made it two cut
of three games from the Dunn Giants by
winning an exciting ten inning game
yesterday.
Conner, who was not good enough for
the Topekas, was too good for them yes
terday. He was easy in the first two
innings, but in the following eight his
pitching was superb. In the fifth innin e
he retired the first three batsmen on
strikes.
Brunner's twirling was very effective
for four rounds, but after that he began
pitching lame balls that made the spec
tators vince, and was hit in every inning.
Troy really won the game in the 7th,
but Umpire Myers would not allow it
Shorty Faulkner slid safely into the
plate on Wakefeld's two Dagger,
but Myers called him out.
Mr.. Myers has made very
few mistakes in the five games be has
umpired here and his work is by far the
best seen here this season.
A new catcher, Clingburg, appeared
with Topeka and handled himself we'll

is superb, but he was rather off in his

Has Tried Almost All Powders, But

A reporter called upon Miss E Tall
man at her residence, 432 Madison street,
to hear what she had to say of Kinks
p Rain Water Maker. She said: II think
Kirk & Co.'s new article just perfectly
grand. don't know when 1 have tried
anything which gives US as much salts
faction as this, although I have tried
them all. It is an ideal water breaker
in every sense of the word, making the
hard we'll water as soft as can be. It
takes all.the hardness completely from
it and leaves it soft and pliable. Not
one of the other powders ever did this,
and by this alone they are completely
outclasssd. Not only does it make the
water soft, but is just lovely in washing
clothes. in which nothing can equal
it They come out clear, aud
when dried were unusually soft and
smooth. It is fine for washing dishes
too, giving them a fine gloss. But the
p best thing it did for me was in cleaning
the paints, which it did in grand style,
completely doing away with all smoke
and dust I think it is the best thing
ever used by far and would recon-
mend it to anyone as superior article"

For the bath or toilet it is indispensa-
BILE, making the water soft and velvety,

For the dishes and general washing

Sedgwich County Farmer Raises . Few
Bushels OF Corn this Year.

II would be hard to find a farmer in
Sedgwick county who is short of corn
this year There has been just as good
corn raised in this county before as this
year but never since the county was
settled was there such large acreage
planted
L. F. Means is one Sedgwick county
farmer who has raised corn enough this
year 10 keep the wolf away from his pig
pens until another crop can be raised.
He brought a sample Of his corn 10
the Eagle Office yesterday and il is
most certainly very fine corn and per-
fectly matured and ne has 200 acres Of
il. And counting forty bushels per
acre he will have $4,000 bushels.
Mr.. Means lives three miles south Of
Goddard, and corn in that section will
make more than forty bushels per acre.
but Mr. Means is modest IN MS claims.
Even 28 eco bushels of corn is a handy
thing 10 have on farm in any country.
He will sell very little Of his corn this
year and he has ordered car load Of
lumber with which 10 build more cribs.
The Sedgwick county farmers who
are able 10 hold corn as arule make
more money by feeding il than by SELL
ing il. Corn is estimated 10 make ten

Is NOT IN JAIL NOW.
Chief Massey Gives Bond and is Relea sed
from Constructive imprisonment.

Chief Massey yesterday received
from the clerk the order of the supreme
court relieving him from the custody
of an officer on the giving of $500 bond
to be approved by Constable Tom Noss.
Chief Massey presented the bond
signed by himself, w. w. Johnson. j.
ID. McEwen and E. l.. Mcclure, which
was accepted by Constabl Voss.
The conditions of the bond are such
that the bondsmen are not only respon-
sible for Chief Massey's appearanc be-
fore the supreme court September 5,
but for the faithful performance of the
conditions imposed by the court.
Chief Massey is not now even con-
structively in jail. He is out on bail. 1t
is understood that another writ of re-
plevin will be issued for the second
stock of liquors seized from the Citi-
zens' club and the reliability is that
Chief Massey will have to give another
bond.
This is not pleasant position for an
officer to be and more especially when
he has 40 interest in the property seized
as damage suits have been threatened
in case the decision is in favor of the
Citizens club.

tice Jones court no second trial for con-

Colonel Sam and Mrs. Amidon re-
turned from their trip TO the mountains
yesterday and Mr.. AmidOn is the best
pleased man in town because his wife
came back with him fully restored 10
health.
Speaking OF the prohibition fight In
Wichita. Mr.. AmidOn related little in
cident which he saw at Kansas City
that exposes this hypocritical cry that
Wichita consumes more liquor 10 rs
size than other towns in Kansas.
when our train pulled out OF Kan
sas City" said Mr.. AmidOn. there was
a whole car load Of bottled beer switch
ed in by the express company. I went
back to that car just 70 satisfy my own
curiosity and sOund the entire car load
was consigned to three owns: Topeka
Abilene and Florence.
Now, | cannot see that that beer
would do any less harm If Il had been
sold 10 these consumers by dealers IN
these towns though perhaps II may be
claimed that the men who drank this
beer could buy 1t in Missouri and not
violate the law.
II wondered when saw so much beer
consigned 70 Topeka whether some Of
the men who are shedding crOckadile
tears over Wichita's sins did not drink
IL. You see this whole thing breeds
hypocrisy"
