The
Medium.
THE WICHITA WEEKLY EAGLE

Established in 1872 and for twenty-four
years has stood al the head of all Week
lies in the state. There are people in
this county who have read it from it's
first issue and are readers today. Why
do they read it? Simply because they
are after the reliable and latest news
and can only get ii through this medium
1t has more columns Of live reading
than all the WeeklieS in the county.
Business men are approached daily by
representatives and even proprietors Of
these local papers with the stereotyped
expression that they have the largest
circulation in the county. Well, We pay
the postage. They do not. If they
are the local papers they claim they are
hard TO locate. There have been hun
dreds of them in the tweRty-four years
that the Eagle has been in the field and
have died as many more must do IN
der their false representation. You
want a good medium to do your adVtr-

VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY.

You want an established medium; you
want to patronize those who are capa-
bic Of patronizing you. You receive
the benefits from the seventy employees
of the Eagle; you get more circulation
from the Weekly Eagle than you can
anywhere else. The readers of the
Weekly get four times as much live
news for soc as they get from the other
weeklies for S1.00 and $3.50. This is the
time when price and quantity tell. You
get all you can and pay as little as you
can. Therefore the Weekly Eagle is
the paper for the advertiser and reader
alike.

TT BIRMINGHAM STILL AHEADl
Telegraph Company, Has Let the Contract for a Remarkable House.

Mir. Charles w. Carlton, architect is preparing plans for residence for Man. ager Ed. E. Williams, of the Western Union Telegraph company, which prom ises to be remarkable house in several respects.
 One of the principal features will be H music room twenty by thirty feet, con4' meeting by large sliding doors with large reception hall on side and dining room on the other; the whole arranged with special view to musicals and rehearsals. This music room has an octagonal hl- cove, with grill-work arch over it, for the piano and music cabinets;an at one end q similar larger alcove will be the musical; library, where all kinds of rare sheet music and manuscript will be kept, to-. gether with fine collection of works upon musical subjects. In this alcovai will also be a magnificent electrical phot. nograph with cylinders to reproduce all the popular and classical music as playedt by the best bands and soloists in the world !
 Another feature of the arrangement will be the completeness of the electrical appliances. In addition to electric lights throughout the house there will also be gas with automatic lighters, so arranged that at night when any of the outside doors or windows are opened all or any number of lights will be turned on. All the doors and windows will be fitted with burglar alarm connections specially de- signed by Mr. Williams himself, and SO arranged that, if any of the wires should be cut anywhere, the alarm will operat6 the same as if the door or window were opened without cutting the wire. There will be the usual annunciator With cons nections to every part of the house, but the thing which most strongly stirred the reporters emotions was an arrangement by which, when the servant rings af the back door of morning, MT. Wil4 Hams, being awakened by small bell at the head of his bed, will simply reach out and press button which will light the kitchen fire and unlock the back doors while he turns over and takes forty moro winks. MT. Carlton has instructions to put in every known electrical conven4 fence, and the reporter suggested, with tears in his eyes, that if he would only add an automatic arrangement to split kindling, bring up coal and kick trampS off the front porch, he would be worthy of being done in bronze. l.
 "Thats easy enough" laughed Mr. Carlton, "when the tramp steps on the door mat he presses button; this starts the photograph which will yell out: "E won't do a thing to you, if you don't get away from here. Here, Tige!'

1t strikes US that those people who ara
expecting free silver TO sweep the cosIn-
try if put into the Democratic platform
are counting altogether without their
host Its effect will be to drive hundreds
or thousands of votes 10 the Republican
ticket in this section Of the country. That
seems to be admitted. but We are told
that II will act differently at the West.
and send many thousands Of Republicans
70 tho Democrats there. We seriously
doubt Ii. Certainly. outside . few OF the
extreme Western states we have heard
as yet Of no Republicans leaving their
party because OF Its gold platform. The
course OF tho Detroit Tribune. which We
have already referred to. is an instance in
point here. Stay In the party. and fight
It out there" IS the Tribune's advice. and
we expect 1t to be followed. The hold OF
the Republican party upon Its adherents
has always been very strong. and It Is
less likely TO be weakened now. when that
party antic;pates confidently coming into
full possession OF the government. than
in ordinary times. We have before had oc-
casion to remark that there are no ties
cutie 80 strong as party ties-neither so
cial. religious nor even tho ties Of self
interest Of pecuniary sense. There have
been few parties who more strik.ngiy IL
Illustrated this fact than tho Republican
party. The Democrats used to hold to-
vether about as well. but they have failed
an similar cohesion since the days or tho
war Of the rebellion.
