WICHITA VS.. UNITED STATES.

W Jill "a ' - ~ j 1 LII = n 1-to-
1t has been always an established be-
lief III the Eagle office that the advertise
ments written in Wichita were for the
most part unexcelled anywhere in the
United States. There was always, too,
doubt that vanity had put a deceptive
focus in Wichita eyes, and that perhaps
the advertisements were not up to the
New York. Philadelphia and Chicago
standard. But now comes substantial, in
controvertibe proof that Wichita is in
the van Of the procession. Here is the
evidence: Last March the Schilling Cor
set company OF Detroit offered three pri-
yes for the best advertisements written
IN the American Lady Corsets. The best
was TO receive 800; the second, So, and
the third. $50. Charles 7. Root, editor in
thief and the editorial staff of the Dry
Goods Economist We're the judges. Five
hundred contestants appeared. All the
big city newspapers with their corps Of
high-salaried artists, engravers and e2l-
pert ad-writers took part. Out here in
Wichita Mr.. Clarence Sousley, the adj
Vertisement man of the Boston Store,
wrote one. Mr.. Ed. Ebenhack of the
Eagle force put it into type and it was
published in the Eagle. Day before yes
terday the Boston Store received a check
Tor $50. Nj. Sousley having taken the
third prize. The letter says further: I'VE
think Mr.. Sousley can congratulate him
self as being one Of the winners out Of 500
advertisements submitted"
The advertisement appeared in the Eagle
last March. Il was no better than Mr.
Sousley's other advertisements which ap-
pear in the Eagle right along, and if there
was a-contest on all the time, Wichita
would make a daily winning.

Not a Candidate for congress.

We notice a dispatch sent out from
Columbus which says that Hon. Charles
A. Leland has been given leave of abb
sence from the Legislature and that he
is at home looking after his political
fences as candidate for Congress, 1t
is fact that Mr.. Leland is at home on
leave of absence, but is confined to the
house by sickness, and were not this
true he would be at Columbus attend
ing to his duties as a member of the
Legislature, as he never neglects duty
TO look after self interests, and herein
is one secret of his success, and by
which he has gained the confidence of
his constituents. We have never heard
him mention the matter, but are safe in
saying that Mr.. Leland is not a candi-
date for Congress at this time, but, if
at some time in the future he should
decide to enter the race, it will not be
necessary for him to look after any
fences in Noble county, as he will re-
ceive the solid upport.-Caldwell

SLEEP, WORK AND LONGEVITY.
Proves That the Idea of Eight Hours
Rest Is Erroneous.

Proves That the Idea of Eight Hours
Rest Is Erroneous.
Some Of the greatest workers of our
day have done with much less than
eight hours of sleep, says the British
Medical journal. DIR. James Legge,
professor Of Chinese in the University OF
Oxford, who has just died at the age of
80, was, it is said, in the habit of rising
at three a. m. and allowing himself only
five hours Of sleep. Brunei, the famous
engineer, for a considerable part of his
life worked nearly 20 hours day. Sir
George A. Elliott, afterward Lord
Heathfeld. who was in command
throughout the great siege of Gibraltar.
which lasted four years. never during
all that time slept more than four
hours out of the "a. "As get old" said
Humboldt, II want more sleep-four
hours at least. When I was young.
two hours of sleep were quite enough
for me-" On Prof. Max Muller limiting
that be found this hard saying. Hum
boldt said: "It is quite a mistake.
though it is very widely spread. that we
want seven or eight hours of sleep.
When was your age simply lay down
on the sofa, turned down my lamp. and
ntfer two hours sleep was as fresh as
ever" He lived to be 80, These eS-.
amples are, to use the consecrated
phrase of the photographers, more fer
admiration than for limitations; but
they serve to show that longevity and a
small allowance Of sleep are not in all
cases incompatible.

shall W. e. Mason, using butcher
knife in his horrible work, is at last in
custody and on his way to Marietta
with Marshal Dye. For almost two
weeks McSweeney succeeded in elud-
ing the authorities, and until Tuesday,
the day of mis- arrest at Logan, w. Va,
not the slightest trace of him could be
discovered, After the cutting he van
ished as completely and mysteriously
as il the earth had swallowed him.
Day after day he was seen at all points
of the compass by imaginative persons,
and the supposed clues thus given
were run down by police and reporters
to the same end-nothing.
AS related in Wednesdays Leader
Marshal Dye received Tuesday evening
from Dingess, w. Va, telegram stat
ing that McSweeney had been captured
at Logan, sixteen miles distant, and
had confessed his guilt and identity.
The message bore the imprint of
truth and Marshal Dye left at once for
Logan to solve the problem. The sus-
pect was McSweeney, as the following
telegram received Thursday night in
dicates:
Dingess, W. Va, Feb. 3.
Mayor Ieisenhelder, Marietta, o.
Have original Morgan McSweeney under
arrest. We will walk fourteen miles to
railroad station. j. II. DYE.
This message was evidently tele-
phoned from Logan to Dingess. the lat
ter place being railroad station. The
road between the two towns is noun
tain path and it will be readily seen
that the Marshal's trip with his captive
will not be the most pleasant one in
the world. The country in that sec
tion is wild and rough, and McSweeney
appears to have been carrying out his
threat to join the Hatfield gang of des-
peradoes.
Whether or not he will allow him
self to be brought back to Ohio with
out requisition papers can, of course,
only be conjectured, but it is the gen.
eral belief that he will make no
trouble.
When the news leaked out Thursday
evening that McSweeney had been
captured it caused considera BILE excite
ment. The failure of the many clues
to lead to any definite information of
his wherea bouts had lead many to be-
lieve that he had made good his escape
or had drowned himself in the Ohio
riYe-, His arrest will occasion a gen.
eral feeling of relief from the prevail
ing uncertainty.
Should McSweeney agree to come
back peaceably with Marshal Dye they
may be expected to arrive this even
inU.

A WOMAN'S COMPLAINT.

II know that deep within your heart
You mold me shrined apart from common
things
And that my step, my voice, can bring to you
a gladness that no other presence brings.
And yet dear love, throughout the weary days
You never speak one word of tenderness
Nor stroke my hair nor softly clasp my hand
Within your own in loving, mute caress.
You think perhaps should be all content
To know so well the loving place hold
Within your life, and yet you do not dream
How much long to hear the story told.
You cannot know, when we two sit alone
And tranquil thoughts within-your mind III,
stirred,
My heart is crying like tired child
For one fond look, one gentle, loving word
TITS not the boundless waters ocean holds
That give refreshment to the thirsty flowers,
But just the drops that, rising to the skies,
From thence descend in softly falling show
What matter that our granaries are filled
With all the richest harvest's golden stores
If we who own them cannot enter i'll,
But, famished, stand below the cloye barred
doors?
And so tits said that those who should be rich
In that true love which crowns our earthly lot
Go praying with white lips from day to day
For loves sweet tokens and receive them not.

that such weather was of incalculable
