"PEOPLE ARE MIGHTY SMART,
How the Court House Impresses an Old
Fashioned Lady.

I'm past my three score and ten.
away yander.' said an old lady yester-
day as she sat on one of the court house
stairs smoking an old-fashioned clay
pipe. with a long, straight stem, "and
I never seed so much finery. Things
nave changed a mighty lot from what
they was when l was young. l never
seed a court house till 1 was nigh sew
cnteen. and law me. 'twasn't any such
a house as tlis-marble floors in :hel hall
and carpet AMI cushioned chairs and ice
water at your elbow-but. sakes, 'taint
no such water as we had in southern
Illinois. We had 10 carry it about half
a mile from the spring-a little unhan-
dy, but it Was mighty good water. And
Ne had gourd down at the spring,
hung On limb not three feet from the
water. and folks used to come for two
or three miles in hot weather 10 get a
drink Of that water from that gourd.
This water that runs out of the wall

refreshing like the water from our old
spring, even if it has got ice in it
Here she took some tobacco from an
poke she carried on her
arm. re-filled her pipe. lighted it avk-
wardly with a piece IF paper and
match. and went on:
This court house I'll warrant cost
nearly ten thousand dollars-it's bound

water buckets on the wall. And they've
even got a clock up in the top; it's
wonder il doa't fall Or some one don't
steal il. is lots different from what
it was in southern Illinois, when / was
young. People are mighty smart these
days"
And as she sat there smoking, she
looked about in amazement, remarked
about me printing machines in all the
offices. and what a sight of men It took
10 collect the taxes and do business for
the county. ana how hifalutir some OF
them talked. and said again and again

late court yesterday on appeal taken
from tie district court Of Sumner county.
John Tegder is the name Of the genie
mar who has taken the appeal and IL is
name closely related with al the efforts
made in Sumner county 10 enforce the
law. John had a saloon in Wellington,
or perhaps in Caldwell when the prohibit
Org law went u-to effect, and he could
never see the justice of being iegislated
out of business. He continued 10 do bust
ness regardless of the law. and has been
at it ever since. or that, at least, is what
the reports say. He came honesty by his
e entagonisn TO that law, for it was his
father who owred that brewery in Kan
eas that resisted the prohibitoTy idea so
long. Regardless Of the fact that John
is generally reputed TO be in an illegal
business he is a splendid fellow and an
public-spiTited citizen of
Wellington. If he had gone 70 a license
state when the law Went into effect in
Kansas he would be rich now, for in
reality, he is a very good business mar.
In tne case which he has appealed there
is long row of figures representing fines
and costs. all Of them aggregating prob
ably 81 900 and several months in jail.

SEAY HAS HIS SAY
And He Says That Asp of Oklahoma Talks
Through His Htt,

Ex-Governor A. ]. Seay Of Oklahoma
arrived in the city night before last on
the late train.
Judge Seay was in a most felicitious
frame of mind and he talked 10 the col
ored porter on his way 10 the Carey ho-
tel that made the colored gentleman ex-
press the proposition that the man from
Oklahoma was " pow'ful fine gentle
man" The ex-governor smiled all over
the hotel office and retired 10 bed feeling
in splendid hmnor with himself and all
the world. He did not feel 50 well in
the morning when the Eagle was placed
before him on his breakfast table and
he read in il the interview of Henry Asp.
the territorial Republican national COM
mitteeman, in which Mr.. Asp stated that
he had not yet given up hope of Flynn
being the next governor of Oklahoma.
That challenged the attention of Cover
nor Seay and as ne read ii the hair
stood straight up on the top of his head.
He didn't do a thing but quietly come
out of the dining room and ordered the
clerk - call up the Eagle office. After
getting this office, Governor Seay said:
You can say for me that Henry Asp
is talking through his hat
Without another word Of explanation
the ex-governor rung off and that is the
last thing heard of him. An hour after
he was seen TO board the Frisco train FOR
the east, having gone direct to Washing
ton or else 10 s.. Louis for the purpOss
OF holding a conference with Dick Kernes
the Missouri chairman.
Ex-Governor Seay's remark concern
ing Chairman Asp is cause sufficient for
a duel. The idea Of a Aiissourian stat
ing publicly that the solicitor of the great
Santa Fe road and Republican national
for Oklahoma talks
through his hat is a daring piece Of bust
ness. and one that Mr.. Asp ought 10 re-
sent. Perhaps the fact that Governor
Seay is travelling over the Frisco has
something 10 do with his criticism OF
the Santa Fe solicitor. The ex-governor
should not be blind 10 the fact that an
ASP can sting when he is irritated An
other very inappropriate thing about
Judge Seay's remark is that Henry Asp
has not had a hat on since thee oriu-
roy cap age set IN. and hence could NO.
have talked through il.

HEARING THE CASE
John v. Cunningham Will be Duly Ar
raigned for Examination Today.


This morning al 9 O'Clock the prelim-
mary hearing Of the case OF the state Of
Kansas against John V. Cunningham, on
a charge of murder, will come up for
hearing before Justice of the Peace @.
". c. Jones, and as quite a number of
people are expected to attend the hear
ing. as witnesses or through curiosity,
Justice Jones has asked his constable to
secure the appellate court room for the
occasion.
The case was 10 have been tried before
Judge A. A. Glenn. but he was little
delicate about handling 1t and requested
the county attorney to give the case to
Jones, and make it his last case before
leaving Office. The objection Judge
Glenn held to hearing the case was the
fact Of his Masonic relations with the
two men. Judge Glenn is both knight
Templar and Scottish Rite Mason and
as the defendant belongs to the knight
Templars and the deceased belonged to
the Scottish Rite, Judge Glenn thought
that no matter what his action would be
some one would be dissatisfied. Whether
Judge Glenn wished to be understood TO
mean that there is a clash between the
two Masonic bodies is not known, but
that probably was not his meaning and
ought not TO be interpreted that way.
The fact of the matter is there are but
few Knight Telnplars in the city who do
not also belong to the Scottish Rite
Both bodies heretofore have maintained
friendly relations and probabably are on
the best of terms.

Will be made was sworn TO by Lenora

FOR ANOTHER FLOUR MILL
Board OF Trade Looking After Another
Industry for Wichita.

Along with the work OF establishing
the annual fall fair the board Of trade
has considered a proposition from Messrs,
Carr and Kelly Of Great Bend TO eStab-
iish another big -four mill al this place.
These gentlemen submitted their plans
and have asked small bonus, which
President Cohn says can be managed
with ease, but there seems to be one diff
Guilty or at least a seemimrg difficulty to
the mill men. On looking over the ground
they say that many Of Wichita's mer-
chants go outside of the town 10 purchase
their breadstuff supply and probably
would not sustain another mill of any
considerable capacity. President Cohn
argued that in this they were mistaken;
that if they produced a good article of
-four, merchants of this city would stand
by home industries loyaLy. Probably
enough wheat could be hauled into Wich-
ita by wagon TO supply a mill OF 150 to
200 barrels CAPACITY daily
