OF the building being defaced. and the
grounds Injured. Miss Isabel Maury, tke
accomplished house regent, sought the
ald OF the little folks OF the neighbor-
hood In securing the protection until
the time the policeman came on duty.

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
Having sought in vain for the office OF
the Humane society, I make bold 10 ad-
dress you Although I have visited nearly
every place of note in this broad coun-
try, your city has the distinction of be-
ing the place where I witnessed the most
disgusting spectacle ever ones i'll fortune
to sea burly negro encouraging vi
cious bulldog to mangle very small dog
that was running along in a most limo
cent manner. And I am toll that your
city fathers not only encourage. but pay
this brute in human form for just such
cruelty. When 7 asked a bystan1er: us
there no clergyman or humanitarian in
all this beautiful city who t1s influence
enough to stop this?" I was given the
name Of Colonel Murdoch. AS Eazed
upon the crowd I could no longer wonder
that some children are cruel to animals,
and If 7 had been a man I would have
taken the negro and thrown HIM just
where he threw the little dog. Rea7eCt-
fully, MRS. L. r. ARNOLD.

RUST IN THE WHEAT
Number of Farmers Talk of
the Crop
LITTLE DAMAGE YET
But Rust Has Set in on Many
Fields.

There has been no little alarm auaong
the farmers and business men about the
possibility OF rust setting n on the wheat
The heavy rains of the last month have
been conducive 10 such a condition IN the
early crop and for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the truth in regard to the matter
a representative of the Eagle inquired yes

EX-County Treasurer Tom Cartwright,
who lives eight miles southwest of town,
said that rust had set in in nearly all the
helds. but had as yet done no serious dam

he said, and unless further rains run the
rust into the stalks and sap the plant
there will not be any serious cut in the
yield However. there is a chance that the
damage will be great The early varieties
will be ready TO cut now within two or
three weeks and any great amount OF
rain will increase the rust affection until

]. r. Sites, who lives ten miles north
west of the city. said:
There are very few fields OF wheat IN
my section that are not affected by the
rust. but It is not serious yet There will
be slight damage OF course, but nobody
is dreading the rust if it does not get
worse than now"
VIII Schamp. who lives near Bayneville,
says there is not a bit of damage from
rust yet and he doesn't think there will
be. He says there are a few fields touched
with rust, but no probability of any diff

Two or three farmers were seen from
the ca st side. They thought that there
would be bat very little trouble from
rust though few more rains would lay
the crop liable Reports from Kingman
and Harper counties have II that the ear
Iy crop will be ready to harvest In about
ten days, and no damage is anticipated
from rust. In only a very few places has
there been any damage from hail and most
of the farmers thinks there Is little doubt
