UNCLE SIDNEY'S VIEWS
By JAMES wHITCoMB RILEY.

7 hold that the true age Of wisdom is when
We are boys and girls and not and men
When as credulous children know things because
We believe them-however averse to the laws.
1t Is faith, then, not science and reason. ] say,
That IS genuine wisdom-and would that today
We. as then, were as wise and ineffab!y blest
As 10 live, love and die, and trust God for the rest
So ! simply deny the old notion, you know,
That the wiser we get the older grow;
For IN youth all we know certain Of. Now
The greater our knowledge the more allow
For skeptieal margin; and hence / regret
That the world isn't fiat, and the doesn't set,
And may not go creeping up home when die
Through the moon like round, yellow mole IN the sky.

Baby Stars,
By RICHARD LIE GALIIESNE.

The souls Of little girls who die
God sets up shining in the sky.
But what becomes OF little boys?
Ask OF nurse, and she replies
That little boys are born without
Just born TO scufTie and to shout.
To play rough games, hit hard and die
I'm glad I'm not little boy

If God would set me not too far
Away from d8ddy-so that !
Might send him kisses from the sky.
And shine upon his bed at night
With such lovely little light:
And If he felt too lonely there.
ia unwind all my golden hair,
And make a little shining stair,
For him 10 climb and SIT by me
Oh, dad, how lovely that would be!
And perhaps If Id ask God for you,
He'd change you TO star, dear, too!

many topics on which the people who
do not know how 10 write such let
ters. or are too much occupied to do
50, held quite different opinions from
the letter writers, and on occasion viii
express them. Great mistakes have
been made IN the conduct Of public
affairs from disregardiug OF ignoring
tins great silent majority.
Another thing which is proved by
this incident Is that a very good way
to impress ones wants upon public
men. or upon the public for that mat
ter, Is by means Of judieiously writ
ten letters. There are comparatively
few people who know how TO write
an intelligent and impressive letter
on any public question, and if those
who lie understand this art happen
to take the trouble to do 1t, the ex-
preston Of their views has an un-
doubted influence.
And a third truth to be dedgeea
from this experiment Is that there IS
no way of making absolutely reliable
predictions about weather or poIi-

TO STAMP OUT TEXAS FEVER
CattIemen and Railroad Men Confer
About 1t.

Mr.. Price. live stock agent of the Mis-
soIpi Pacific, has been in the southern
part of the state since the first OF the
week, comforting with cattlemen with
reference TO stamping out the Texas fe-
yer along the southern border. Yester-
day morning a meeting was held in
Arkansas( City and some valuable
agreements were reached The cattle
men went TO Arkansas City with the
plan of doing away with the stockyairds
at Davidson and Elgin. on the Missouri
Pacifc, but before they had finished
their meeting satisfactory arrangements
had been made and the yards will still
be used About a month ago the fever
made its appearance in the herds of the
Kansas cattlemen and caused Them to
lose a great many head. 1t is claimed
that on account OF the wet weather this
spring and early summer, the fever ticks
have been washed over the line to the
state. and native cattle have been af-
fected. thereby causing a great loss TO
the Kansas men.
The object of this meeting was TO rem
edy this difficulty. and Mr.. Price was in
attendance. and he agreed to have the
road observe the quarter Of a mile line.
It appears that heretofore the cattle
have been run along the Kansas fence.
and now the Texas cattle viii be kept
quarter OF mile away from the line
This is done with the consent of the
Indian agents. 1t is believed by this
arrangement all danger Of the fever
will be overcome and the cattlemen are
feeling good over the plan. William
Greenwich of Dexter was appointed spec
@ai cattle inspector. and Will inspect
al cattle brought north of the quaran-
tine line

BUILDINGS ARE
FIRST CLASS
For the Use OF a Branch Cas-
ket Factory
SAID PRES. W. H. ANTES
Of the DeS MoineS Company
Which Wants to Come Here.

W. H. Antes, president of the Des
Moines Casket company, arrived in tbs
city yesterday morning and during the
forenoon was driven over the city and
In the afternoon was taken around to
the business houses that were thought to
be suitable for a branch factory Of his
house. He found two buildings that are
suitable for his company to use and to-
Gay the Chamber of Commerce and Mr..
Antes will see which one of these build
ings can be leased for a long term, as
the company viii come here and remain.
as they intend to handle all Of their bus
mess in the southwest through the Wich-
tia house.
MIR. Antes stated to a reporter for the
Eagle last night that ne could not say
Just what his company would do until
it was learned what they could obtain
the building for and just how much in
terest the business men take in the con-
Germ. Mr. Antes and his company de-
sire that some Of the local business men
take some stock in the branch house
here. Inc DeS MONIES company Noutu
furnish the machinery and some expert
men, with a superintendent and mana
ger, but the local house would practi-
caliy be under the control of Wichita
parties. Mr. Antes has not gone into
this matter with the business men as yet,
and viii not until he secures the building
which the company viii use, but he has
given out that this would be the only
bonus required. He has statements that
show that this would be profitable in
vestmen for those who go into it.
1Mis is the first visit Mr.. Antes has
made TO this city in twelve years. He
was at one time a travelling man cover
ing this territory and in this way be-
came personally acquainted with Mr..
Finlay Ross, and it was through the
latter's efforts that Mr.. Antes was in
duced 10 come to this city. He stated
last night that he noticed a great i'm
provement in Wichita since his last visit
here, and although he would give out
nothing definitely as TO his intentions he
spoke favorably of the proposition of es-
tablshing a branch house in this city.

ne newest thing n the market in the
vegetable line Is celery from Colorado.
The stalks are very crisp. and although
not very large sell readily ~ 10 cents
per stalk.
Sweet potatoes sell at 5 cents per
pound. or 81 cents per peck. and the
demand Is greater than the supply. The
potatoes are nice large ones and are

gardeners are making lots OF money
this year especially those who rae

THERE ARE FINE PROSPECTS
p, v. Healy and -. w. Bridseman Re-
port FavOrabIy on Ohio Oil Fields,

P. V. Healy and S. n. Bridgeman have
just returned from visit to the oil
fields of the Ohio Southern Oil company,
and report a splendid trip and are en-
thusiastic in their praises of the prop
critics held by that company.
While the company is a new one and
has been working at development work
but very short time, their prospects
warrant the enthusiasm manifested by
them. The three wells completed all
show good quantities of high grade oil.
Also the three others now under way
give every prospect of being as good
II not better. These gentlemen pronounce
these oil fields as far beyond their ex-
pectations and especially the properties
held by the above-named company
A message yesterday stated that a
well nearly completed at the time Of
the visit of these men has since been
shot and yields IS barrels of oil per
day
Wichita people have quite an extern
sive block of stock in this company and
Messrs. Healy & Bridgeman went to
Ohio to look into the lands.
