H IT MIST BE SOLD
Suggestion as to the Disposal of Y. Nj. C. A,
Building

To the Editor of the Eagle.
If the Y. VI. c. A. Building must be
sold 1t is important that it go into the
hands of those who can permit the Y.
VI. c. A. to still occupy the basement
and the gymnasium and have the benefit
of the bath rooms, etc The way to do
this is TO sell 1t to the state for a nor
NAL schooIbuilding. This can he done,
as it viii only cost half as much as the
University building. Yet it is large
enough for normal school purposes; in
fact, is well arranged for that. Let it
be generally known that this can be
done in a very short time. This is the
way TO give the young men chance.
The public school library might then be
put in the l5uilding also. Respectfully,
J. S. JENNINGS.

MORE HOGS WANTED
STOCK YARDS DOING MORE BUSI-
NESS THAN FOR FOUR YEARS.

Mr. George Dold of the Doid Packing
Company is Using all the Porkers He can
Get, and Although There Are Between
Six aud Seven Hundred Shipped Here
Every Day the Supply Does Not Exceed
the Demand-Men Who Formerly Ship
ped to Kansas City Are Now Finding 1t
More Profitable to ship to wichita
During the past four months no con-
Germ has felt the revival Of business any
more than mas the Union Stock yard
They are now receiving between six and
seven hundred porkers every day. This
is an increase of SO per cent of what it
was four months ago. There is very rea-
son to believe that shipments here viii
increase. Mr.. Dold is buying all Of the
hogs he can get.
Mr.. W. R. Dulaney, superintendent OF
the yards, said last evening that snip
pers within radius Of forty miles OF
Wichita can ship hogs in cars to the
amount of about $4,000 pounds without
suffering much loss from shrink ana the
number of dead hogs in the car VIII be
at the minimum. On the other hand, II
they ship to Kansas City in like quanu-
ties the numbers Of hogs that would get
killed in transit would amount to from
five to ten besides very heavy sfrink-
age. The shippers have begun to reallze
this fact and as consequence the snip
ments 10 this city have increased Won
derfuliy, although this market does not
paw within is cents of what the Kansas
City market does When the number o.
hogs killed and the shrinhage is figured
it is found to be money making invest
ment to snip to this city.
Many OF the largest shippers in the
Kansas City territory are now regular
shippers ID Wichita. Big shipments a'e
being made almost daily from as Ear
north as Lyons and as Ear east as Beau
mont. which is in the Kansas City terri
tory. OF course tde largest shipments
come from Southern Kansas. Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory. The Shippers
in this section of the country find ii Of
a special advantageous nature TO do BUS
mess at the Union Stock yards, as they
can load their hogs in the morning in
their own town, ship to Wichita, sell ana
return home on the same day, thds
making a saving in their expense ac-
count.
The yards are on a better bases now
than they have been for the past four
years and there is every Indication that
before the winter is over that there will
be 1000 hogs shipped to this market

harvesting weedy Pot.,oe..

That sins of neglect will follow
a man until he is duly punished is never
more conclusively proven than when
the neglected potato field comes to be
harvested. Not only is the crop greatly
lessened, but the labor of harvestinr
has been increased. AS a matter of
fact. the farmer who can and does keen
mis- potatoes free from weeds saves Ia.
Dor by the operation. Sooner or later
the weeds have to be uprooted. 1t costs
less to do this while they are small. If
done then the yield of marketable tu-
bers is SO much increased and the ex-
pense OF harvesting is decreased. so
that it really costs less to harvest a
large crop kept free from weeds than
to harvest crop failure made so be-
cause overrun with weeds.

Don.t DInme the we.th.,

Don't blame the wet season for the
condition of many of your roads. See
that your candidates for local offices
favor good roads, and then supply them
with the information that will enable
them to know how to get and keep
them. Most people are all at sea on
these subjects. The heavy rains of
the summer have given startling object
lessons to road-builders and superin-
tendents in some sections of the coun-
try. Roads that were nearly fat and
which lacked proper drainage were
swept over by the water. In somes spots
the surface was torn away; in others it
was covered with stones and earth.
This did not happen where roads were
suitably crowned and drained.-L A.

the matron promise to show a marked
difference this season, both in materials
and cut For the latter the handsomest
of materials are used, in all the rich col
orings which would not be at all suit
able to a girlish face and figure. The
most beautiful are of velvet, a material
shown in a great variety of weaves and
the most bewitching of colors. Many
of the gowns are made perfectly plain,
while others are combined with pail
lettes and brilliants, and some with
rich old lace. The skirts all have trains.
even for dancing, and the boIices are
fitted with bias side seams and small
straps that serve as sleeves.
For the young girl gowns are much
simpler. Satin, both plain and bro
caded, is used, and in combination with
| chiffon or net makes some very effective
gowns for the young girl. a very old
gown is of yellow brocaded satin, with
! black lace insertion forming an X on
| the front gore of the skirt. The blouse
is covered with perpendicular bands
| of the same. Black lace is gathered
| about the decolletage, forms the short
sleeves, and is gathered into stiff
| bow in front.
Garnitures of artificial flowers will
be much worn. A pretty notion for net
gowns shows a spray of blossoms on the
left shoulder, yelled by net drapery.
On many gowns another spray is placed
on the right shoulder, but remains un-
covered.
Large. full sleeves are not worn. Arm
coverings are of two kinds-a narrow
band or small puff formed of lace, gen
neck fiounce.
A loose bodice CT jacket for the house
should form part of every thoroughly
equipped wardrobe. 1t is even more
| comfortable than the house gown, and
to the modern business woman it is a
boon above all other garments.
The loose bodices are ordinarily ac-
Gordon plated. Some very pretty ones
are made Of plain silk, gathered in full
at the neck and left to hang as they
will. Holes are cut for the arms, and
accordion plated sleeves are inserted.
These sleeves, too, are very wide, and
are gathered into a band at the wrist.
A small, turnover collar Of lace finishes
the neck
A model that is rather more elaborate
has color scheme of blue and white.
The jacket proper is made of blue silk,
with insertion and edge of white lace.
\ broad collar is also Of lace, and be-
meath it form draperies of blue silk.

i was standing on the sidewalk with

team came down the street, scattering
the vehicles and humanity in every di-

| Jobson, like nearly every other man
| IN sight, took off his hat and yelled

Circus was in town." said Jobson,
| ''and the streets were packed to see the
procession. Just as the elephants
came along I noticed a good looking
young lady on horse back who seemed to
be trying to make her way through the
| crowded street. She wore beautifully
fitting plain black riding skirt and had
| the loveliest figure and face in the
world.
Just as she came opposite where I
was standing her horse appeared to
take fright at the elephants, as horses
will and began to rear on its hind legs
and plunge about at a terrible rate.
The young lady was very pale, but she
kept her seat wonderfully well, and
| did her best to hold him down.
81 saw the danger she was in and
rushed between the jam of vehicles and

me up about nine feet and paved the
skin off my shoulder, but held on like
grim death. He must have dragged and
slammed and jerked me along nearly a
whole block before 1 got him compare

kind of smile other heroes used on
such occasions, hoped the young lady
was net frightened.
''She gave me the sweetest kind of a
smile, murmured her thanks and hand
ed me her card.

said, with a look of gratitude that
made my heart jump. and she rode up
