There is a remedy for this imposition,
this delay of the mail. Let each mer-

ope State the case plainly and briefly.
with request that their mail be dis

the Missouri Pacific with her Chicago
connections will deliver Chicago and
eastern mail early In the morning in time
to be read and answered for mailing on

doubt but that a general, steady protest
from the business men of this place to
the department, showing the inconveni-

will be remedied by the department Off

lines at Kansas City. The remedy lies in

This morning at l o'clock Mr.. Hubert

Eagle reporter went to the city building
Immediately, where Mr.. John Fisher and
Mr.. Charley Wilson, the engineer OF the
building. corroborated NJ. Childs' state
ment They all said that the building
swayed and the windows ratified and
there was a rumbling noise. Mr.. Wilson
rushed down stairs to the boilers, think
ing that something must be wrong with
them. He returned in few minutes and
said they were all right. Mr.. Childs and
Mr.. Fisher went below stairs where me
prisoners are confined and asked them
IL they had felt the shock. All OF them
said yes, and several OF them were badly
frightened. Nothing was felt al the
Eagle office, nor had either OF several
partits on the stree. noticed or heard any
thing strange. All OF the gentlemen at
the city building said that it was no fake
nor were they trying 20 perpetrate a
joke. The incident Is given for what II

In the district court for four days, and
grew out of the failure of the Campbell

nection with this institution and a large
number OF witnesses were subpoenaed
from Douglass, Kan, and also from 9TH

relations OF the bank with that COM
pany, and aside from the witnesses
there was large amount of documen-

the bank Of Douglass. The case involved
a great many intricate questions of law,
involving the liability Of banking cor

aside from the regular banking business.
The instructions Of the court were very
able and exhaustive, covering all the
various details of corporate liability

Honored Sir. You doubtless are aware

Of my men, or myself, to act in defiance

nave the rigat Of free born American
citizens to expect consideration from

With all respect 10 the exalted position

know On what grounds you forbid the
miners Of this country from operating
according to ar at OF congress ap-
proved May 10, 1872. A man who is not
open TO argument, is somewhat narrow
minded. and / can assure you that most
OF my men are about as broad minded
as those VINO pessimisticaily oppose us.
If You will kindly condescend to argue
tais affair with me, l will greatly ap-
prec'ate the honor. II may save much
expense TO this nation.
Do you moi love your home and fire.
slce? The miners of the Wichita's would
ike 10 enjoy the same privilege. Your
r@fusal TO allow a deputy surveyor to oe
appointed for the miners in Greer county,
Oklahoma, has almost beggared them
If, Sir, You can prove, and I am always
open to conviction, that your course
then was right. and your course now is
based On the letter and spirit of the law,

asDersions. etc, and gladly order my
men 70 disband. l love the dear old flag

Within Day or Two There Will be Train

bxma aud Today There Will be Train
Load of Texas Calves Sold at the Union
Stock Yards-Hog Market Was De-
moralized Yesterday aud the Receipts
Were Cut laterially-Fifty Per Cent
More Now Than a Year Ago.
Mr.. ". NJ. Paugh of the W. VI. Paugh
& Co, live stock commission merchants,
yesterday received word from Mr.. James
Sparks, who resides at Conway Springs,
saying that ne would snip today train
load Of cattle from Birmingham, Ala
which would be sold on the Wichita
market as soon as they could get here.
The George Holmes Commission COM
pany Will have a train load OF Texas
calves which viii be sold at the Union
Stock yards today. The demand for cat
tie is quite brisk and the shipments to
this market are increasing every day.
The market on poTkers was off 10 cents
on the hundred yesterday which cut the
receipts here yesterday 10 about. which
was most decided falling off. Hereto
fore the receipts have been running
about LOCO head OF hogs a day. The
cause Of the big drop in price was that
there were $1,000 hogs sold on the chi
cago market yesterday. AS that is the
governing market for the United States
the decline vas felt instantly al over
the country Word was received at the
yards yesterday afternoon that Mr.. VIM.
Garland of Kiows and Mr.. Chas. Blake
of Mount Hope would each have a car
Of hogs on the market this morning. The
decided decline will probably have the
effect to keep a good many of the small
er shippers from selling but according
TO the advice of the best posted men
about the yards this viii be a grievious
mistake on the part of the farmers. and
others who have been raising hogs for
this years market.
Mr.. R. T. Bean said yesterday that the
number Of hogs on the market was so
per cent greater now than they were at
this time last year. Especially was this
true at the four largest packing points,
which are Chicago. ST. Louis, Kansas
City and Omaha. Continuing Mr.. Bean
said: people who are holding for high
er prices will evidently be disappointed.
There was prediction made some time
ago that hogs would be bought in Chi
cago at 1925 per hundred and it looks
very much as if the prediction would be
fulfilled"
There were several prominent stock
men at the yards yesterday who were
calling on friends or over looking the
pens and yards. Among them were: Mr..
Ben Garland OF this city, Mr.. Charley
Johnson of Hutchinson, Mr.. A. P. John
ron Of Elmer. Mr.. George Thrush OF
Bentley, Mr.. Dey of Almedo, and NJ.

| A few weeks ago the residents living
on North Lawrence avenue between
Thirteenth and Nineteenth streets PIE
sented a petition to the city council
car company 10 put in their tracks on
Lawrence avenue between Thirteenth
and Nineteenth streets. The petition
was referred to the proper committee,
who have as yet failed 10 report. In the
| franchise which was given the street
car company they were given the priv
ilege of putting in track on the ave-
nue. from which the property owners
now demur.
Mr. George Cuobon, who has property
on the corner Of Lawrence and Eigh-
teenth streets, said yesterday: Every
| property owner between Thirteenth and
Nineteenth street, with the exception Of
one man, has signed the Petition pray
| ing the council not to grant the car
company the right to put their track
down on Lawrence avenue. North Law
renee avenue is used more for driving
tilan any other street. in the city, and IL
the car tracks are laid there then the
driving on our street will cease. Posi-
bly, a good many would not raise any
objections If the street was as wide as
it is southrof Thirteenth. But north OF
Thirteenth the street is only sixty feet
wide, which with a car line running
along the avenue makes it entirely too
So pfx fhA
company attempts to put their track in
an injunction will be asked for. At
torneys have already been consulted and
some OF the property owners have prom
ised to raise enough money to prosecute
the case to the fullest extent. If the
car company insists on laying the track
on Lawrence avenue they will find before
they get through with it that it would
nave been far cheaper for them to have
gone up Topeka avenue as they do
now"
81 saw recently Mr.. j. w. Skinner, the
township trustee of Wichita township,
and he il with us. The matter has also
been placed before the county commits
sioners, who, I understand, will support
Mr.. Skinner"
When asked what the county commits
sioners and the township trustee had to
do with IL, Mr. Cubbon replied: Nine
teenth street is the north line of the city
limits and as the car company propose
going TO Twenty-first street they have
the q anting Of the privilege. Mr.. Skin
ner told me that the car officials said
that if the county would not allow them
to go up Lawrence avenue after they
reached Nineteenth street that they
would turn at that corner and go east
until they reached Topeka avenue and
would then go UP that avenue as they
do now. Mr.. Skinner informed them IL
they should attempt anything Of that
kind that ne would fight them from go
ing up Topeka avenue to the packing
houses"
Mr.. Church was seen last night and
he said if the car company paid attention
to every little wnim presented there
never would be no car line built Furth-
er than this he declined to discuss tine
question. There is no question that the
property owners residing along North
Lawrence are determined and if they get
ont an injunction there may be an inter
esting law suit.

SarsapariiIa.
Yes, Scrofuls, II fanything, may be called
the advertisement Of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge Of the world offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendurable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
taint from the blood.
There Is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far Is We
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of taint, and the rsvages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this: >
any daughter was afiicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsspa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per
fectly cured after taking o few bottles.
She has had no symptoms Of scrofuis
