worth while to make such treaty. If
we are to have war with Spain, there
will be no such treaty negotiated, and
if we recognize the independence of
Cuba, we should thereby officially de-
clare that Spain had nothing more to
do with Cuba. These Commissioners
may be entirely honest in their inten-
tions, but the administration has not
forgotten Senior de Lome's advice
that these negotiations be pressed as
blind, nor the statement made on the
floor ofsthe Senate few days ago by
Senator Proctor, showing the weak
ness in Cuba of the So called govern
ment that these Commissioners rep
resent. In plain English, these Com
missioners are being treated with
every courtest due them, but they are
not throwing any sand in your Uncle
SamuePs eyes.

Woven Wire Fence.

Whoever builds a wire fence without ade-
uuate provisions for contraction by cold and
expansion by heat, builds his house on sand.
It's strongest claim upon public favor-lts
elasticity. The coil running the entire length
of every horizantal bar enables it to adjust
itself to heat and cold as no other fence viii
do. Experience is proving it to be the most
durable and hence the cheapest.
It requires few posts.
1t is entirely adapted to rough ground.
It is made from the very best hard steel
wire.
Tt turns everything from rabbit to an OK
Those who have used it recommend it.
When you get it you have what yon want
More of it is manufactured and sold than
all other woven wire fences combined.

LITTLE GEORGE BLECKLEY
Entered the Long silent sleep sunday
Morning.

Mr.. and Mrs. E F. Bleckley buried
thei: infant son yesterday. laid him away
from their sight forever, and today their
arms are empty while their hearts are
aching. The love of their warm hearts
nor the protection of their enfolding arms
could avail to stay the life which went
out softly as the breath of the morn, as
gently as fades the light of sunsets hour.
He died in the early morning Sunday,
after a ten days struggle with an in
dammation which involved his throat and
lungs. George was their youngest,
beautiful and promising boy, a bright
tot" who had but commenced TO walk
and try to talk. the joy OF his mother and
the the especial pride and sOiicitude Of his
father who. because Of the child's sweet
DISPOSITION. was ever holding an I'M
known apprehension that he was not for
earth. No words that we can offer our
friends can give sUrcease TO the dumb
ache OF their breasts. nor can anything
be done 10 bring hack the light 20 those
beautiful eyes now closed forever They
viii hear his little prattle, catch the echo
Of his toddling footsteps for many days,
and rnayhap hear his little moan in the
oppressive hours Of the all too quiet
night. but all that they may retain Of
the brief life that's gone. Of their little
George. will be sweet memories, sveeteT
for their sadness.
But OH for the touch OF vanished
hand.
And the sound OF voice that is still"

COUNTY Ne WSPAPER
Commissioners Think County
Can Do Its Own Printing.
MAY BUY A PLANT
Chairman Wilson Of the Board
Has a Plan.

It is now probable that Sedgwick county
will own its own printing plant or hire
man with material to do the work. The
question of buying plant has come up
tor consideration and the new board of
commissioners are going over the situa-
ton. The county printing in Sedgwick
amounts to about $1,000 per year. Chair
man Wilson of the board estimated that
a paper with the required legal standing
can be bought for at least two or three
hundred dollars, maybe as low as one
hundred and fifty. To this two or three
hundred dollars worth of type could be
added and a man hired to do the work
OH salary of from sixty dollars to one
hundred dollars per month. The commits
sioners have figured that the necessary
amount of material can be secured for
thousand dollars, and that labor and in
cidentals TO the amount of two thousand
dollars will be sufficient to do all the
work OF the county. The commissioners
estimated cost of doing the county's work
with the county's own material or under
contract would not exceed at most one
half the sum now expended for the work.
Deacon Wilson says that the county will
save at least two thousand dollars year
in clean profits. Mr.. Wilson assured the
reporter for the Eagle that this is no
Populist chimera. but a plain business
proposition which means thousands Of
dollars TO the county every year. There
is some question as TO whether the COM
missioners can buy and own the material,
but they say there is no law against hir
ing man by the month who has the ma
terial to do the work.
There are at least two papers in Wich
ia that could be procured for the PROPOSE
ton and not less than three in the coun-
Try at different towns in the county. But
this is not to be construed to mean that
there is a newspaper in the county that
could Deb ought for $50. The proposition
will be watched.

BASEBALL THE RAGE
MANY FAVOR A NEW LEAGUE
Several Persons Give Their Ideas as
How to Run 1t.

Several Persons Give Their Ideas as
How to Run IT.
II brains, energy and enthusiasm will
obtain baseball league in southern Kan
sas this year, it is safe to say that Wich-
tia will be strictly in it. Recently there
has appeared two articles regarding the
formation of a league in the Eagle, which
have got all of the fans and cranks start
cd Yesterday the following letter was
received, which bears on the subject:
Wichita, Kan, Jan. II, 1898.
ITO the Editor of the Eagle.
Seeing that an amount OF agitation is
being stirred up over a proposed baseball
league, desire to take hand in the dis
cussion, with the Eagles kind permits
sion
The first point we will find in the cities
to compose the league. L think Mr.. Alex
ander, who IS endeavoring to promote
thel eague, is a conscientious, scrupulous
gentleman, but evidently heb as been
misinformed regarding certain towns he
proposes to have as members of his as
ISOLATION. Such towns as Wellington, Ar
kansas City, Enid, Ell Reno, Guthrie and
Oklahoma City are either too small or
dead rabbits'-to speak baseballically.
Now, the right towns to form this league
are TO be found right here in Kansas.
The rivalry would be much greater, and
as an advertisement it would be to the
states own credit, no sharing of towns.
Atchison, Leavenworth, Topeka, juno
ton City and Emporia are good towns to
selectf rom in the north Hutchinson,
Newton, Wichita and Winfield in the
south would form a splendid, compact
circuit The mileage would be small.
1.-The second point I wish to discuss will
be thes alary limit. Mr.. Alexander must
know that $500 limit is too much for a
state league in its infancy. Make it $500
and pay as you go. and you will have a
permanent organization, but with $500
you would be 'swamped' inside of six
months.
Il will discuss no more points in this
letter. but will Iawait developments. I
think the few hints here will be taken
as they are given-for the best.
u also desire to challenge 'Hindoo' or
Winfield 10 a series of three games TO
decide which city has the better team of
the home players This challenge is sent
on behalf of Donovan, Burgess. Clarke.
Dixon, Taylor, Hoover, Montgomery and
others.
Let us hope that the greatnationaf game
will be with us during the long, sultry
summer days. Respectfully,
SUCCESS"

Tie police commission muddle gets

NEW HOUSES
CASH HENDERSON TO MOVE
Row of New Brick Houses to be Built

Row of New Brick Houses to be Built
III May.
Mr.. Cash Henderson will probably lease
the new Sheetz building for his dry goods
store. He has been dickering for it for
some time and although the deal has not
yet been closed it probably will be with
in the next week. Mr.. Henderson said
yesterday that he did not intend to stay
in his present quarters when the lease
expired, which will be within a month or
so. The Sheetz building will not be large
enough to accommodate my stock of
goods but I may have two stores. IF not
two, I will have a large warehouse. 1
have been in communication with Mar
shall Field & Co. of Chicago and may
get the place recently occupied by Innes

That would give me a ffty-foot front two
and a half stories high. 1 am very de-
sirous of getting the Sheetz building as it
is new and fresh and would be very

There is some talk that there is some
eastern man in the city who wants to
buy the property just acress from the
postoffice known as Ed Taylors' livery
barn. 1t is said that if he gets the place
he will construct a large and handsome
office building there. Next May all the
little dinky old buildings between the
Sheetz building and Lawrene avenue will
be torn down or moved out and hand
