and generous treatment of Cuba. His
strong and impressive message brings the
question again to an immediate and direct
issue. The President, without doubt or
wavering unhesitatingly rises to his full
obligation. Congress must now face its
long delayed duty, and either faithfully full
fill it or let the responsibility of defeat fall
upon those who choose to take it.
The Republican Boxers"
From the New York Herald.
In sending his special message to Con-
gress urging prompt relief for Cuba the
President has defied the threats of republi
can boxers and done his duty regardless
of political consequences.
1t is a ringing and persuasive presenta-
tion of the case. If the gentlemen conduct
ing the boxer campaign are as shrewd as
their success in politics and in the manage
ment of corporate trusts would indicate
lean people.
The Will of the American People.
From the New York Tribune
The President has pleaded the case so
directly and SO strongly that he should
have the unhesitating support of every
member of his party in Congress. If there
are those who will still hold out against
the administration" deeming that light
thing, it will be well for them to take heed
lest they find themselves holding out

Chance for MAKING Money.

1t IS q matter of tact that very few
Of the first settlers in this valley ever got
TO be very rich. There has been millions
in the advance of real estate. but the
early settlers mostly sold out before II

for the Eagle why II was so. He said

Col Lee came to Wichita in - and
bought forty acres of land south Of town
for $3.50. He believed that this would
some day make a city and MS land would
be valuable. The old timers gave him
the horse laugh for paying such a fabu-
lous price for forty acres OF land. He
bought the tract OF Albert Prattcl and
he was confident that forty acres Of
land would make him a great fortune
It is now bounded by indianapolis avenue
and L awrence. Lincoln and Water
streets. The same ground today at low
valuation would be worth $4,000. and it
would have brought many times that
during the boom.
Col. Lee said there was never time
after he bought that land that ne did
not think II good for a large fortune.
but ne made up his mind that he would
have to wait too long. He WAS living
today and not in the future and he sold
his land. Others bought II and refused
20 wait and the profits was divided along
the line and nobody got rich from It.
He thinks there Is just as good chances
10 make money in Wichita as there ever
was, but the people here are no. will

Entertained Frank James.

Judge .. 4. McCandless believes that
men sometimes entertain desperadoes
unawares. as well as angels. and his
opinion is demonstrated by his own ex-
perience.
In 1883 the judge was running hotel
in Medicine Lodge. Kan, and one night
the institution was crowded with cat
tie men. Mingling with them was q well
dressed fellow who registered as MIR.
Howard and who was guyed great deal
by the cowboys.
When the stranger signihed his readi-
ness TO retire. Judge McCandiess accom-
panied him to his room and apologized
for the rude conduct of the other guests.
The stranger said that he did not care
for their jokes and began to undress.
Hidden under his coat were two revol-
vers. which he placed on the bed. Judge
McCandless took hold of one of he re
volvers. out of curiosity. but no sooner
had he done so than the stranger quickly
laid his hand on the other weapon. 10
did it in such manner that the judge
thought it best TO leave the reyolvers
alone.
Judge McCaudless afterward learned
that the stranger was Frank James, the
noted outlaw.
