HOW TO DWARF WICHITA

If Wichita man goes to Topeka. ne
win find that the Kansas City newspa-
pers circulate He viii find lot Of one
horse stores which sell pins ard needles
to local customers who buy their silks
and satins of the retail stores in Kansas
City.
If a Wichita man goes TO Emporia he
will find that the stores there have for
years been fighting for bare existence;
that they have pleaded, protested and
wept, trying to keep the people of that
place from buying all their best goods
in Kansas City. He will find that the
Kansas City papers circulate there.
The minute you strike Wichita and in
every town south of Wichita you find
large, prosperous stores, big plate glass
fronts, busy hives of clerks and custom
ers. thronged streets and universal activ-
ity. The Kansas City papers do not cir
culate here.
The Kansas City Journal is very
hilarious over the fact that Kansas will
have large amount Of money with
which to build up Kansas City this year.
Building up Kansas City means the
subordinatiCn and dwarfing of Wichita.
Aiding Kansas City in any way, is as
good and as effective as destructive
enmity to Wichita; IN fast, it is better,
lust as treason is mole destructive to a
cause or city than open antagonism.

SUBSCRIBER AND ADVERTISERS
Eagle is Equally the Friend and Medium
of Both.

If you fail to get your Eagle any of
these cold morning don't blame the car
rier a. being done by him Intentionally.
The unexpected and overwhelming in
crease, under the popular price OF ten
cents has been somewhat confusing 10 a
number of the carriers who must learn
the new places on their routes, so if you
have subscribed and don't get it, call or
telephone us and We will see that you
do. Don't hesitate to do SO, for we want
you to have the Eagle in your home
every morning TO read. There is no
reason why the family-father, mother
and the child1en-shoud not know what
occurs in the city every day, and know
also what is going on the the entire
world every day. Every parent owes it
to himself and to his children to keep
pace with the current events OF the COM
munity and the important and current
events OF the world. They should read
newspaper-and the Eagle is an up-to-
date paper-contsining when it reaches
your home each morning, the news from
five to ten hours later than any other
publication of any kind, good or indiffer-
ent. The housewife can take the morn
ing Eagle and can by reading the adj
veftisements, look up any item or article
that she wants TO purchase for wearing
apparel or the table, and can learn from
our adveI tisers where she can purchase
the articles she wants at the best ad-
vantage. She can save enough by buy
ing from one of our advertisers-even
in an item that win cost less than one
dollar-to pay for the Eagle week, and
larger amounts in equal proportion, for
1t is a settled, undisputed fact that the
reader knows the advertiser is the man
who sells the cheapest. 1t will pay any
family whose curI ent weekly expenses
are five dollars a week or more to take
the Eagle and sean each morning its
Advertising columns fog what they want
10 purchase for that day In groceries
they will save the price ot the paper for
week in the purchase of a peck Of po-
tatoes-or a months subscription in a
sack of -four and in wearing apparel in
larger amounts. No one ought TO buy
suit OF clothes or a cap. a nat, gloves,
SHOES. or anything pertaining to home
life and comforts without cleaning the
advertising columns Of the paper. That

Some time last week Yves Plummer and

Fiummer was on the left hand side OF
the wagon when Vanetta jumped off on
the same side to. keep from being cut by
Plummer's knife, and Plummer thought
he had 10 do something in self defense,
50 he used his knife just as Vanetta
jumped off on that side TO prevent him
from doing. Plummer says that mis- war;
fare was in self defense and Vanetta
says il was an assault with intent 20

hit him two or three times and that the
boy did the same thing. Vanetta swore
that he didn't hit Plummer, but when the
son of Vanetta got on the stand ne said,
as truthful boy should il ne was telling
the truth, that he hit Plummer once and
in trying to nit him again ne hit his ia

When the evidence was all in Judge
E1och decided that he could not hold
Mr.. Plummer for an assault with intent
