elling's explanation Of why he voted foi
the measure.
Lewel.ing filed the following explanation
of his vote. for record in the senate jour
nal:
1T is my purpose to vote for this bill
but would not be just to my constituents
and the people Of the state if I did not say
in doing so that the bin is far from what
L had expected at this session.
I'VE are assembled here at the call OF
the chief executive. for the express pur-
pose of passing railroad bill, and with
all our study of this question and expe-
rience in the past II would seem that We
are well qualified for this important duty.
The national board of railroad commission
ers has outlined its idea as TO the kind OF
bill which would be most efficient; the
state board Of railroad commissioners, of
which I have the honor to be a member
has given in its report its concept of a
railroad bill which would best serve the
interests Of the people Of Kansas. The
opinions Of these gentlemen, If l may be
excepted, are at least worthy of considera-
ton, but the members Of the majority body
Of this legislature are at present forced
to support this measure for the reason that
if it is not passed we will be unable to
obtain railroad legislation during this ses-
sion.
Neither the committee. the caucus, nor
the legislature framed this measure, and
il is impossible to ascertain who gave it
birth. It increases and complexities ma
chinery for the enforcement Of railroad
legislation II burdens the people with new
Offices; II cripples its own efficiency by
surrounding the power for the enforcement
of its orders with the dilatory methods
common to courts Of justice.
Being simply and only a court for the
determination OF questions, I cannot I'M
derstand how IT can do more than pass
upon the simple proposition as TO whether
rates are too high or too low without the
power to make or enforce a material re-
duction of rates when it has been decided
that rates are too high.
1t is more expensive and less efficient
than a board Of commissioners would be,
such board TO be clothed with the power to
give notice of hearing, and after hearing
to make and enforce its orders. It is not
in accordance with the principles of the
party of which I have the honor to be a
member. for the reason hat It muItiplies
and increases the number of judicial Of
fees. I trust it may prove to be for the
best interests Of the people. but If I could
escape from the bonds Of the caucus 1
would take pleasure in voting for a com
missioner bill in line with the recommends
tons Of both the national and state board
Of railroad commissioners. AS I cannot do
this without violation of pledge already
made 7 VOtA aye.U

DOC AND EAGLE MIX
Eagle Attacks a Dog and Is
Captured.
BLANKET THROWN ON HIM
He Is Purchased by Fred
Waffle of Wichita.

A fine specimen of golden eagle may be
seen at the Summit, on North Main
street. The golden eagle is rare in this
country. This specimen is one year old
and measures 7 feet inches from tip &c
tip Fred Wolfe. the proprietor, is the
owner Of the bird and it has history
He obtained it from Mr.. J. ]. Belrose. a
train man working on the Missouri Pa
cific, who makes the run to Kiowa, in
Barber county.
Mr.. Belrose tells this story Of the cap
ture Of this eagle. Last Monday he OBJ
tanned the eagle from a farmer living
south Of Kiowa and brought il 10 Wichita
yesterday. The farmer said:
ION Saturday noticed the eagle flying
low and thought that it intended to al
tack my sheep. My dog was with the
flock. and the eagle swooped down and
attacked he dog. There was a fight and
the eagle stuck his talons into the dog.
The dog and eagle mixed upon the
ground, and it was difficult to tell what
was going to be the outcome.
Il took blanket and went 10 the res
cue of the dog. The eagle did not see me,
or else his claws were fastened TO the
flesh of my shepherd dog. At any rate
came up to them, threw the blanket over
them and captured the eagle. He is a
good speciment Of golden eagle, about a
year old"
Mr.. Belrose bought the eagle Of the far
mer, and Fred Wolfe purchased it from
Mr.. Belrose. He appears to be in good
condition, and yesterday ate his dinner of
jack rabbit and investigated his cage,
making frequent efforts to escape. The
eagle was the attraction of spectators all
day in front of the Summit, hundreds of
people stopping to wonder and to com
ment. Mr.. Wolfe paid $50 for the beau
riflIl bird
