The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1900-07-01

To the Editor of the Eagle.
I would plant ivy extensively around
the school buildings, churches, colleges,
public buildings and the county build
ing and require the janitors and sections
to take special care in cultivating, fer
tilizing and Fastening its growth.
I was at Charley Sings laundry the
other morning and found five Cinnamon.
/ asked Charlie what he was doing with
those Boxers One of them Indignantly
said: me no Bloxer; me visit Charlie.
Me no livee here; me tIakee next tlaIn
Oklahoma
Did you ever? The Oldest money loaner
in the city sits around and growls be-
cause he can't make what he calls de-
cent living. One thousand dollars. per
cent, 4 per cent commission on one hun
dred, and sixty acres of land.
1t is not considered good form to sit on
the front porch Of evenings, draped in
paJamas.
see some Of the McAdams toboggans
are gone. They all ought to go.
see the lake in Griswold park is being
fenced I presume it is to be used as
zoo. Who viii be the first to contribute?
swans deers, rhinoceroses, monkeys and
the Ike. There ought to be an island
in that lake, with a fountain.
I heard a story going around that one
of our leading business men had made
two thousand dollars on wheat specula-
ton, and another business man had made
$4,000. I chased the reports down; in the
first instance the business man had never
been in a bucket shop in Wichita. In the
other they said he did make about SIS
in a deal.
l see that the beauty Of some Of the
handsonest squares in the city is marred,
in fact, spoiled, by spite fences.
1 would place a watering trough near
the avenue on Topeka or Emporia SINH
lar to the one on South Market And do
1T at once.
I would like to know what has become
of the Humane society. There is work
for them every day. 1t is a crime the
way some horses are tied on the streets
and left to fight flies all day long day af-
ter day.
Have you seen that finely mounted,
well caparisoned, handsome policeman
that patrols North Lawrence Of evenings.
You are feeling comfortable and happy
this morning; next Sunday morning you
may be short an eye, a finger or several
inches square Of cuticle. Meantime the
glorious Fourth of July and Teddy Roose-
welt will have come and gone.
I would give the street cars permission
TO stop on either side Of the street when
ever the notoneer wants to or thinks
best. Some cities compel cars 10 be
stopped to take on and off passengers be-
fore crossing the street, and others after
crossing.
I see the council has taken action re-
garding the cottonwood trees. One Of our
citizens says if the cotton bearing tree is
trimmed up limbs cut back. giving the
tree shape it viii take from four to five
years before they viii bear again.
The fire company made q run yester-
day morning for North Main street. and
as No. reached Main street a North
Main street. car was standing there.
Everyone no saw it was in suspense I'M
MI the team passed The car. In cases Of
this kind street cars should move away
at least a hundred feet from the juno
ton.
/ did not dream of the interminable
position L was being placed IN when L
reported the result Of the ballot of thir-
ty ladies on who was the nandsomest
man in the city. At a meeting Of
number Of prominent young men Of the
city to take action in regard to it. AT
ter heated discussion | have been asked
to see these ladies and learn if possible
what's the matter with Bruce Priddy,
Ike Goldsmith. Mr. Richie Nell Harris,
Delaney. Mr. Fulton, Fred Dold and Mr..
I think they have just claims,
but gentlemen Of the committee. it is for
you and the ladies TO settle. BY the way
q person may be handsome and not be
distinguished booking Mckinley and
BRYAN are both handsome men and at
the same time distinguished looking.
Place them in a crowd of men Of superior
mold and they viii loom up with a dis
1inctive lcok and bearing over the rest.
Nav I ask who IS the most distinguished
looking citizen in the city. BY the way,
did It ever occur to you what a hand
some. cultured looking lot of men the
ministers of our city are?
[ would not allow a dog to run the
streets for the next sixty days without
a rnUzzle over his mouth, Of course. Sam
