of the structure and appearance of
wood in which the elements of wood
structure and the most important
properties Of grain and color, weight,
shrinkage, strength, chemical compo-
sion, durability, and decay are duly
considered. The relations of weight
and strength to structure, to position
on the trunk, to age of tree, to condi-
tions of growth, of moisture, ETC., are
pointed out. The subject of season
ing is discussed and some of the special
uses of wood as in dry distillation,
manufacture of cellulose, charcoal, etc
it's value as fuel, are briefly outlined.
A key is supplied for the Identification
of woods based on the structural fea-
lures and appearance of the cross Sec
tions which it is believed will substi-
tute for the present empirical method,
based on certain impressions resulting
from years of experience, a scientific
method, based on a knowledge readily
acquired of certain invariable features.
Eleven pages are devoted to a list of
the more important woods of the
United States. The bulletin consists
of 88 pages, illustrated by 40 figures,
and may be obtained upon application
to the Superintendent of Documents,
Union Building, Washington, D. c.,
for the sum of 10 cents per copy.

WHEAT CUTTING COMMENCED
Salem Township VIII Claim the Honor fol-
This County

Harvest will commence today in this
county. Out in Salem township the
reaper will commence in field of wheat
and the hands will be treated TO new
potatoes for dinner; the spuds to fbe dug
out of the same farm that the wheat
viii be cut on.
Mr.. Starr who was in the city yester-
day said that this is the earliest harv-
est IN the history of this county. In
1873 the harvest commenced on May
% and that was the record breaker up
TO the present time.
Mr.. BarWise of this city says he met
farmer last Friday who said that he
was then harvesting in which event he
is the record breaker. but Mr.. Starr
thinks this is a mistake, that the wheat
cut last week was over the line IN Sum-
ner county and that Salem township
will ave the honor of cutting the first
wheat in Sedgwick county.
Mr.. Starr thinks the wheat to be cut
today viii run about twenty-five bushels
10 the acre or more. Mr.. Barwise says
that his man would have thirty-five
bushels to the acre.
Judge Wall who was down at one Of
his farms yesterday says that the fields
OF wheat that Will go thirty-hve or even
twenty-five bushels to the acre are
mighty scarce. He has several acres
Of wheat and although il looks as we'll
as any average field that he has seen
ne thinks that IL will not go more than
fifteen bushels if II goes that much.

there is E. Bee Guthrie of Perry. That
young man is a bright fellow, a good
taiker and mark my puredictfon when
l say that he will give WHISKY skin
ming today that will be sensational.
Guthry is a regular fire-eater and he has
legitimate grievance against Wisby.
I'd give ten dollars 10 be in the conven-
ton for just as long as Guthry's speech
viii last OF course Wisely will do a
little skinning in return and that will
be the signal for the federal officers to
throw the harpoon into him My i'm
preston is that the statehood conven-
ton was a mild affair compared with
today'S convention.
"SupposIng Wisby wins and gets the
nomination for congress-
There is no chance for him 20 win
anything in today's fight and il he gets
the nomination Flynn will wipe the
earth with him as he did before but a
great deal worse"
But If he is a fusion candidate7"
"Irf he is Flynn will beat him 5000

any circumstances whatever He has
no friends among the leaders nor has
he any among the fellows who are in

Wants to be Fusion Candidate.

Wants to be Fusion Candidate.
A prominent politician OF Oklahoma
was in the city last night and dropped
into the Eagle Office to find out wheth-
er any news had come from the Dem
ocrstic convention.
Look out for knives tomorrow" said
he with a sly wink. 30 Wisely VIII
never know what happened him. The
boys have dose fixed up for him that
will make him wish he had never been
born"
Whats the matter with Joseph"
'Oh. Joe is all right, but there are a
great many Democrats down there who
think he is too fresh and they will sit
down on him. know of a bout twelve
persons who have knives in their boots
for him and they will stick 'em under
his rib clear up to the handle
10 has been talking a great deal
with his mouth and he has been writing
letters. At Guthrie Saturday he talk
ed with his mouth. He jumped on the
federal office-holders and called them
everything short of horse-thieves. Now
IL so happened that when Mr.. Wisely
ran for congress he had a great many
friends among the federal office-hoIders
and II IS even intimated that they spent
a great deal OF money in his interest
Then he had no objection a few months
ago and even later 10 be a federal office
holder himself
OF course he seems TO be egainst Pat
Maggie too. but the fact is he is as thick
as seven in bed with the new marshal
and was at the time his boy was draw
ing good salary from Ed Nix and
had his entire confidence. 1t is charg-
ed that 10 is playing fast and loose
with everybody politically for a pur-
pose"
What is his purpose?"
He wants to be nominated for con-
gress on the Demo-Pop ticket. He is
playing a desperate game for this nom
nation as dark horse"
You know, l suppose, that the Silver
question was presented to the Demo-
Gratis at the primaries. That was 10
Wisby's work to get himself in line
with certain elements for the same
purpose he attacked the federal office
holders which is large and influential
element in the Democracy of the terri
tory. The fact IS Virgil Hobbs of
hinghsher is the man who will be first
presented for the nomination for con-
gress. The Pops don't like him and
they will refuse to favor his candidacy.
The Pops will then present the names
of Callahan Of Kingfsher, Bennett of
Ell Reno, De Los Walker OF Oklahoma
City and Poilium OF Logan county. None
OF them will be satisfactory to the Dem
CORA Is and there is where 10 Wisby ex-
poets to be able TO get IN his work as a
compromise candidate. That plan may
work all right il the Pops are not train
ing a man for that contingency them
selves. Leo Vinvent IS their dark horse
There are hints, however, that Vincent
could be induced to get out of Wisby's
way at the proper time and with the
proper inducements presented to him"

the convention today?"

PUT UP THE RATE
How the Railroads Want to Do Justice to
Kansas City.

A telegram was received by some of
the Wichita commercial houses last ev-
ening stating that the railroads had
adjusted their rate sheets in compliance
with the decision of the interstate COM
merce commission. The way they ad
justed them was not by putting the
rates from the Gulf to Wichita down
to the Kansas City figures but by put
ting the rates TO Kansas City up tothe
Wichita figures. If the raise on the
Kansas City rate is honest it will be a
help to Wichita inasmuch as Wichita
can then compete with 1t, but if it is
not honest then the matter stands ex-
actly as il did before.

a VERY CONTEMpTIBiE PAPER

When the Chicago exposition was
opened in October. 1892, Miss Harriet
Munroe wrote the opening ode. The
New srrk World surreptitiously OBJ
tanned possession of Il copy of the ode.
When this fact came to the knowledge
OF Miss Munroc, she t~elegraphcd to the
World and warned the editor not to
publish it. The editor replied thai he
would take his chances and published
II ode all the same. Miss Munroe
brought suit for d~amages.on the ground
that he World had violated her com
mon-law rights. Under the law an. I'M
published manuscript is the property
of the writer. and cannot be published
by another without his or her permits
sion. Miss Munroc brought suit to re
cover judgment in the circuit court of
the United States for the southern dis
triCt of Illinois. The World then ap-
pcaled the case to the circuit court of
appeals, which affirmed the Judgment
of the court below. The World then
appealed the case to the supreme court
of the United States, and we note with
great pleasure that the highest court.
the court of last resort. has affirmed
the judgment of the two courts below.
An editor who steals the product of a
woman's brain. who makes money out
of the theft, although warned not to
use the stolen goods. who then persis-
tently refuses to make any compensa-
ton Il fights the case for years up to
the highest courts of the land-such
tempt OF all honest and honorable men.
