Whereas, it being the spirit and inten-

bN Of school days, and
Whereas, Under the present manage

almost impossible to do so, as the teach

PULLED FOR FIGHTING.
Joe snyder and q. ~. Sullivan Fight here
Last Tuesday.

The quietude Of our little town
was rudely disturbed Tuesday by a
tditiiculty between Joe Snyder, an
old man and brother of Mrs Har-
riet Farmer, and @. II. Sullivan.
From the best information we
could get the difficulty grew out of
o dispute over an account alleged 10
be due Sullivan, and Snyder, who is
a one-armed man, struck Sullivan
tin the face with his stub. Friends
interfered, and Sullivan left the
saloon of Dwyer d 90, where the
trouble began, and secured a gun,
but fortunately he could secure no
shells. Coming upon Snyder, who
WAS seated in front Of Beaton & An
derson ssaloon, Sullivan struck him
with the gun, telling him to his
Knees, and followed the old man
into the saloon striking him as they
went Frank Beaton caught Sui
liyan and held him until the old
man could get outside.
AT this moment Marshal Flow
ers appeared upon the scene, and
took Sullivan in charge.
7 They plead guilty before the re-
corder and each Of them was fined
S5 and cost
1t was thought that the old mans
injuries were quite serious, but he
is able to be on the streets. Both
parties were drinking.

The relatives, friends and old ac-

deceased, to the number of several
thousand people, gathered at Pilot
Knob, in the tenth district, Sunday,
a large number going from here.
1t was the request Of Mr.. Pafford

that his funeral be preached on the
summit of Pilot Knob, and this re-
quest was carried out Sunday by
Rey. ~ r. Waters in an able and
impressive sermon. Basket dinner
was served on the ground, which
was free to everybody.

is situated nearly mile west Of
Tennessee River and about 2 miles
below Johnsonville, and from its
summit the observer can get a good
view of the country for miles in
every direction.

WHISTLE ANNOUNCES BEDTIME
Blast From the Monster Throat Now
Heard.

The big Dold heavy horsepower whistle
commenced its regular and permanent
blasts at o'clock each night on Wash
ington's birthday and will continue them
from now on. This big whistle has a
history, which has been recorded in the
Eagle. as announcing all the prominent
features Of the late wharf.-the declaration Of
war by congress, the victory at Manila bay
by Dewey, the sinking of Cervera's fleet
by Admiral Sampson and the final peace
treaty. Now it will sound what in COM
mon parlance among military men as
taps" and in a more polished term for
the especial application may be designated
as good night" peaceful dreams" or
lights out"
Promptly at o'clock each night the
whistle will be blown, as well as the
"reveille' at o'clock in the morning The
new regime was commenced on the tenth
anniversary of the establishing of the
house in this city; that is, the finishing of
the tenth fiscal year and the ushering in
of the eleventh. Residents of the city
may set their clocks and watches by this
whistle from now on, as it will follow sun
time accurately.

not sacrifice their western holdings. which
for the most part are now all right. South
west Kansas lands and realities are esti-
mated now as gilt-edged securities. It is
only a question of time. probably a short
time, when the speculative values of trust
shares and stocks and bonds will col
lapse and in collapsing may precipitate
panic. But the west, outside of the larger
cities having kept its fingers out, will be
little affected except in a reflex way. The
realty values of the west, so long and so
unnaturally depressed. are all going to adj
vance for years to come. Home owners

TOO MUCH RECKLESS DRIVING
Police Should Give some Attention
to the Danger Existing.

There is too much fast and reckless driv-
ing along the business streets of the city.
This holds good, especially, as to smart
Alecs who have no eyes or concern except
for their supposedly fine moving animals.
1t is also more or less true of hacks, de-
livery wagons and the like. Hardly day
passes that someone is not in unusual dan
ger of being run down. The asphalt is not
a speeding course, and the police would
do a very simple duty If they would step
out in front of these reckless drivers and,
in checking them up, give them a hint of
what they may expect Any back talk
could be answered before the police judge.
The pedestrian has the right-of-way across
the street at regular street crossings. Es-
pecially is this true of women and children.
