Take too Little Rest.

There is much truth i'll the follow ing paragraph. fnuud in m exchange:
 Americans take too little rest They concentrate th ir Strength up0na few years strugelef9r wealth, and when they haveattainea sueecss they find they have exhausted their vitality. They have been prodigal of their splendid. powers Bf youth and prime. When it is too late they discover that they have risked their health for what is no recompense, and that they have really thrown away the opportunity of enjoying a long existence. Bnt the fact is not all that of iqdividuals The exac- tions of these latter days make men slaves. They have so many things to do and have to do them in such a rush that they have no chance to reeuperate They are the viptInls of conditions that are undermining the nation."

It has been drawing aa ash cart of late years, and the other day went by the enginehouse Engineer Loring, who know the horse well, since they came to that engine in the same year and were there together for six years, fell into conversation with the driver and told him that he hadn't doubt that if the old horse was put in his old stall and the gong was sounded he would rush far his place ip front of the engine, just as he used to do. The driver doubted this, and they agreed to try it, The horse, now fiji, teen years old, was put in his old atall, where he hadn't been for five yeara
 At the first sound of the gong he starb ed for his old place under the harness in front of the engine. He tried to go quickly, but made q sorry exhibitior ef nimbleness compared to bis tcrm@r

THEY WON BOTH CASES
Bully Ike Gets First Money and Chandler
Reinstafed.

BY a telegram received from Chicago
last night il seems that J. B Chandler
the well known horseman. residing in
this city. has been re-inStated in the
American Trotting association from
which he was suspended a year ago for
entering two horses alleged 10 have
come from the same stable in one race
and for monkeying with the horse Bar
ondale in an exciting race. At first u
looked as II the suspension OF Mr.. Chan
der was warranted under the associa-
ton rules but his friends never did be
lieve that ne was guilty. When the
time came for his defense in an appeal
10 the higher association he presented
overwhelming evidence favorable 20 his
cause and his innocence and from the
tenor Of the message he had 10 trouble
in being re-instated by the supreme
association at its session IN Chicago
yesterday.
The associa ton also found the appeal
taken before Il by Cash Henderson and
promptly decided in his favor thus giv-
ing him a stake OF $3.50 lawfully won
by his horse Bully Ike at St oJseph-
At the St Joe races Bully Ike was
awarded third money but should IN all
fairness have first money as the other
two horses were entered n a grossly
irregular manner. The action OF the as
sociation gives Mr.. Henderson a clear
gain of 81 .ee9. He is 70 be congratulate

What Che Has TO Say Concerning the Sus-
pension of Bessie Quintin.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Wichita is justly proud of her public
schools, but recent events have demon
strated the fact that the system is not
perfect. II the rules are of the cast
iron sort, leaving nothing TO the teach
ers discretion in judging extenuating
circumstances, they ought to be pub
lLshed, that parents may know what
treatment their children are 10 receive.
Was the shaking, Jerking, dragging
about, and the harsh, angry words
with which the lady principal terrified
and bewildered Bessie Quintin neces-
sarily included IN the act OF suspension
which the rules called for? If o.shouli
there not be some regulation rules for
the same? And If the woman exceed
ed her authority in thus torturing the
culprit upon whom she was about to
visit the extreme penalty OF the law, az
ter the manner of the barbarians who
scourged the victim before mailing him
to the cross, does not the dignity and
welfare of the schools demand that she
be made an example OF the same as in
the case Of an offending pupilT Have

To sum up the case in brief, It has

DR.. Jones will be released from jail be-

charge Of causing the death OF the baby

ing in the eyes OF tfhose who do not

release him from any serious criminal
responsibility. The fact is the doctor is
a good hearted old man and il looks
like his action all the way through
was done for the purpose Of shielding
the girl He really did not get any pay
for his last services He probably al
lowed his heart rather than his head
TO control his actions in the premises.
Nobody believes that he would deliber-
ately aid in the drowning OF the body

not likely. through any other motives

he does not think he committed an inten-
tional crime from evil motives. On the
contrary if John Davis thinks other
wise the gray hairs of DR. Jones and the
general good feeling towards him will
not save him.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Sept. 10.-The mill
tsry maneuvers were resumed at Goerlitz
to-day, both armies beginning to move at
6 o'clock in the morning. The right wing
of the Prussians pressed the Eighth Saxon
Division back upon Schaffberg, whereupon
the Thirty-second Saxon Division came to
the aid of the Eighth Division and stayed
the advance of the Prussians.
In the meantime the right wing of the
Saxon troops drove wedge into the Prus-
sian Sixth Corps, while the extreme right
of the Saxons outfanked the Sixth Corps
OF Prussians, getting the latter under a
cross fire at Kopschuetz.
AT this iuncture the Emperor called a
halt, and the Sixth Prussian Corps then
reformed and the operations were re-
opened. At IL o'clock in the forenoon the
Prussian Sixth Corps had driven back the
