TUESDAY MORNING. ATOIL 27.
HUTCHINSON'S MO. PACIFIC
The Wichita Eagle lat week wns
alldohiy ami painfull' i-iletit about the
exleii'ion of the 3Ii-eotin Pacific
railroad io iliis city. Tliis silence i
iudirativc of dorp fueling. It ii
evident (list while enerally suc-ces-ful,
Wichita is busted in this.
Hutchinson Interior.
We :ucis you didn't read the Eagle
very clnseh , which spoke very plainlj
and meciutly of tlif iiropoitiou. Wv
are not aware of any deep feeling
touching the mifter. Wichita's prin
cipal dcjirc now is to hook on to all
the prominent cities and towns of the
southwest, and with the competing
lines, where it is possible. An exten
sion of the Mi-souri Pacific from
Wichita to Hutchinou would give us
two lines to Hutchiu-on, and force
the Santa Fe to operate a daily traiu
from Wichita to Hutchinson, provid
ing the business of the latter place
should warrant it.
As for the Interior's disposition to
crow; or its declaration that Wichita
is busted in that extension, wc will
remark, for its better information,
tion, that the Wichita and Colorado
its course and route is absolutely in
the hands of Wichita men, and wc
know what we arc talking about.
The company or its contractor couldn't
prevent the building of a plug up to
Hutchinson from Haven or Lincoln
townships, probably; but a? to
whether the main line shall run by
way of Hutchinson, or straight
through Ketio county west, the Wich
ita incu aforesaid have the sole say.
A MATTER OF TAbTE.
In fact, to use one of Harry Nor
ton's suggestive idea, it would be
more creditable for a respectable man
to be hung in Emporia than 10 die a
natur.il death in Wichita. Emporia
Republican.
And that's what's the matter with
Emporia. She is so hide-bound that
hcravcragccitfccn would rather starve
to ildtlli than see their place flourish
as Wichita flourishes'.
The lecture of Mrs. M. E. Lease,
delivered in Wichita the other even
ing, inut have been remarkably fine
and convincing, for the Eagle, which
holds that woman's sphere i-i to keep
house, look pretty and keep out of
pontic-;, compliments it highly. w m-
lield Courier.
The Eagle holds tint man's sphere
is not woman' sphere, and vice versa.
As for keeping house and looking
pretty, the-e have never necn de
manded of either wwnan or man by
the Eagle. As for the political field,
wedoii'i believe it is one tint can lie
occupied harmonioHsly mid profitably
by both M-es at fie same time, but
we don't nmember of having ever
sal 1 anything again-t the proposition
of giv'ugit upcutin-ly to tins women.

We now have eight daily passenger

our railroad advantages will be better

PRATT CENTER ITEMS.
To the Editor of the Eatfe.
It is a fond hops of tho enthusiastic
Pratt citizen that our town sonic day
will be a second Wichita. I .mean a
second Wichita iu regard to' rapid
growth, business enterprise and town
lot booms. Probably this somewhat
extravagant theory is intensified from
Um fact that it is a nataral and com-
mon remark for every stranger to
make when he visits our live and beau
tiful little cit aud observes the
natural advantages which we enjoy
'size? up" the magnificent farming
country all around u aud becomes ac
quainted with our enterprising Ui
zcus: "Why you cannot help but be
another Wkhita before long." The-e
-imc parties always stamp their ex
pression of faith by investing largely
m city property. Aotwithslamniig
thc-e times when the east is all "broke
up" over strikes and labor troubles,
and the extreme west crowded with
pauper tourists, our own fair state,
especially southwestern Kauas, is en
j 'i'tug the most remarkable boom in
tier history. It is no wonder then,
that when a stranger comes here from
the sleep' old villages ot
the eat and counts over
one hundred farm wagons on Maiu
street at one tunc during an average
business day, meets two or three
dozen real estate agents in the course
of 6ix hours, to renounce allegiance to
the land of his fathers, invests largely
in city lots, pulls ofl his coat and be
comes rich as fast as the rest of us;
consequently, out of every five
strangers that roll in hero on the can
non ball from Kingman four make up
their minds to identify themselves
with the interests of our town, aud
either locate permanently or tie up
soirc city property.
District court adjourned Tuesday
evening. Judge A. K. Clark gave
complete satislaction to both lawyers
aud litigants, by the fair and impar
tial manner with which ho presided.
Our town was visited with a $4,000
fire on Wednesday evening of last
week. The principal loser wa3 M. A.
Carlisle, dry goods merchant, former
ly of your city. His loss is partly cov
ered by insurance. Mr. M. Eange's
barn was alo destroyed by fire a few
days afterward; he could ill aflord the
loss aud our citizens generously rcim
btirml him by a public subscription.
Our city now boasts the possession
of a large and latest improved street
sprinkler, the expenses of which aro
defrayed by the merchants on Main
street.
A new bank with a capital of $30,000
will be in running order iu a few
weeks. The incorporators arc some
of our most substantial business men.
This will make the third bank aud
still there is room for tniir'.
The l:irj;o number of rc-ideiices be
ing built in all parts of our citv this
spring encouraged the organization ol
another building and loan association
and accordingly a new one with a
large membership was chartered this
week.
There are net many towns, even in
Western Kants, that rati boast of two
similar organizations.
Last M md.iy the uevva'id hand-onic
Ma-ouic hall was dedicated. The lady

PATRONS QF THE H1CHEK EDU
CATION. The recent noble gift of !2.r,000
nisde by C.'lonel II W. Lewi', of
Wichita, to the I'rcsbyicriau academ
of that city is worthy of special notice.
It probably has no paralleTup to tins
time in the state ol Kansas. (Jills
ranging from one to live thousand
dollars have been given to institutions
of learning iu this commonwealth, but
the splendid benefaction tendered to
Wichita academy stands thus far aloue
iu its conspicuous liberality.
Colonel Lewis is to be congratulated
for his enlightened views, his broad
sympathies and his generous prompt
ings Such a gift as he has made en
titles him to beheld in lasting remem
brance by all the good people of our
Mate.
It is to be hoped that this splendid
example will stimulate some of the
wealthy men of Emporia to do a like
generous act for our own young and
ri-ing college. We have men iu our
midst with larger means than Col
Lewis. Why may we not hope for
large gifts from tonic of them?
One haudsome contribution, such as
that given to Wichita, would set our
college on the high road to permanent
prosperity, fiuch a gilt always in
spires confidence, and besides it stim
ulates others to imitate the good ex
ample. A few years ngo Dr. Cornell
gave a very largo sum to the univer
sity that bears hi- name. Soon Mr.
Sago followed with a princely gift;
then Mrs. Fiskc, then others, until the
the trea-ury of Cornell university va
full lo repletion.
Let sonic one ot our leading citizens
in the near futtiic endow a professor
ship in the College of Lmporia, then
at once gifts would begin to How in
upon u, aud in a few years wc miirht
hope to take rank with the be-t iusti
tutioiis of the west, it is not ct two
ueeks since Col. John U. Anderson,
ot Manli.ittnn. said iu our chapel, in
an sddre to the students: "I expect
to sco this college take rank with the
bet in the land." ho w ill In our
Col. Lewis? We wait to hail and

LABOR ACAINsi LABOR.
It is proclaimed somewhat ostenta
tiously tint the preent content is be
tween 1 ibir and capital, but develop
iiHtitsshou that it is lirucly labor
against labor the members of se
cret labor organizitiotis against tho-e
laboiersuho prefer io be indepen
dent 1'ul to the actual count, the in
dependent outsiders among the bread
winners aro much greater thau tho-i
who are members of secret orgauiza
tiou. The great effort now is to force
all io mine into these organizations
'I lint is the great effort ol the ngita
tor now. For the time being all mi
nor differences are put aside and each
man devotes himself to the common
object. For that purpose capital is
bulldozed to prevent it from emplov
ing an body w ho has not the endorse
ment of the unions, and the independ
ent laborer is bulldozed to prevent
him from going to the aid of capita iu
jeopardy from strikers. Capital 1 uot
only timid but cowardly, aud the in
dependent laborer, unsupported by
organization, is fearful lest, after he
goes to the relief of capital, he will be
deserted by that cowardly clement.
Such has been the experience in the
past, and why mar it notin the future?
Thn it is thst a comparatively smalt
minority of the people, organized for
the purpose, is keeping the whole
country in a ferment, blockinj the
wheels of commerce, and hushing the
hum of industry Chicago Inter
Ocean. "
Mr. J. W. Miller, who his tilled the
position of general manager of the St.
Louis, Fort Scott & Wichila railroad
with such- signal ability and success
for three years, has accepted the posi
tion of general manager of the New
York, Stonington &r Providenrc rail
road and line of steamers, with head
quarters at New York City. Mr. Mil
ler took charge of tho Wichita road
without experieuee as a railroad man-
ager, and may justly look back to bis
'ichicvemciits'iu Kansas with satisfac
tion. He not only proved himself
master of the difficult task assigued
him, ot mauagiug aud putting into
operation a new line of road among a
-trmigc people, but made trieuds up
ou every hand, by his agreeable man
ner to the public, and kind treatment
to thoce subordinite to him. The

abundant prosperityand success in the

QUESTIONS.
We qnestion of tho silence vast,
Ot ioqIs that peop'e distant spheres;
What of their future an 1 their put!
Have they our sorrows, joys and fears?
Do the same flowers maia glad their sightl
The same Lints sing) On their great seas
Do ships like ours, with canvas white,
Move stately, answering the breeze'
Have they their Christ, their Ctrotma
Day?
Know ihey Mahomet? Buddha? One,
Or iH ornonef And do they pray?
And have they wrought as we have done?
We can not gue-.s 't is hard indeed,
Our or.n orb's tale cf its dim past
Through centuries untold to read,
And who its future shall forecast?
We know the hand that holds in checlc
The whirling world, ca-h in its course,
And sives th univcrs a from wreck
And peril this tremendous force
Holds HLewiso all our little lives;
The suns and fctars do all obey
His bi iding nover planet strives
To swerve from its appointed way.
The dancrouj boon alone to us
Is given to choose "twixt ill and we'd,
Rebellion or obedience thu3
To build our heaven or dig our helL
But on j great thought our strength up
holds; Nothing shall perish! Though His rod
Smites sore. His mercy still enfold
His own God's souls are safe with God.

NORWEGIAN WHALE HUNT
EXCITEMENT OF A CHASE AFTER
THE MONSTERS OF THE SEA.
In the Middle or a flock of Giants ot
tlio Sea An Enormous Ulne Whale
"Full Speed Ahead!" A Shot at the
Game A Widowed Whale.
Wo are in the middle of a flock of giant
of the sex The enormous brown and bluo
bodies rise out of tho sea; the back is bent
upward, it looks like the bottom of a cap
sized ship; it disappears; but the saa be
comes almost calm where the whale went
down, and several minutes elapse before the
naves are able to conquer the calm. From
time to time Jeop-duU snorts aro hoard,
thundering and trembling, as il tin deepest
strings of a dou.n double-basses were being
plajed down below; anl at others, a sharp
su ishing sound, like an enormous fountain
suddenly set to play, aud a. column of
crystal spray ascends some thirty feet into
the air. The gigantic, glutening body ap
pears on the surface; the back Is bent up
wiinl a socond. and it again disappears. It
look as if tho whalo wn arm and com -
' lortable enough, t"e ea water, to m look
ing so cold, plays pkas-intly arouna it; not
steam issues from its dilated nostrils, and it
wins like a man enjoying a reiresning
morning dip. During the last quarter of
an hour wo have teoa some forty whales,
but xuaj have o:ne within range. The
gun hs no certainty much beyond thirty
yards, S3 tint tho wlmlo must bo nearly
under the ship's bow vthen firing.
A GREAT COLUMX 1V IJAMPXESSL
As wo stan 1 looking at this magnificent
spectacle, the wator cloj) around the ship
suddenly becoaies light green in color, and
Eoni3what calm. Then a deep, heavy thun
dvr; the ship trembles from stem to stern; a
great column ot dampness is shot into the
air, drenching us all; a dull snort, anl an
enoru.ous blue whalo rises out of the sua a
few j ard on our starboard side Xow the
captain -vt ill fire, we think, involuntarily
hold.ng on to tho w ire r.gging: but Foyii
stand i by his gun v. ithout inakin tho least
i nioieuunt, and tho neit 6ccond the whalo
ruugo ua3 prolably not a good one. A
low minutes after tho same thunder, tho
same sensation, the ramu column and tho
saniis'icrt another whalo appears on the
port side. The captain turns tLc gun. while
wo wat.'h with beating hearts tne move
menu of ths animal as well as his own.
Kery ssconJ teems an eternity. Ha raises
the gun, aimil Alas! a heavy soa strikes tho
tesM-I, heels her over; tho gun is lowered,
but tho w halo is gone. They seem all to
have disappeared now, nut a pa.T to be
ccn.
We stand and talk about tho incident,
nnd somebody suggests to go aft and "have
asmoke;'' when suddenly two whales are
seen (omo distance oir, now going side by
side, now behind each other. The holm is
turneJ, and w e follow them in hot haste
through win I and waves. A complete
silenre reigns on board during tho pursuit,
only now an 1 then broken by the captain's
short words of command, who stamls calmly
watching tho animals. Now the vessel
heels o-er tho whales aro within range.
"Stop," sounds in tho ongino-room. But
the speed was too great and we shot p.st
them. "Full speed ahead,1" sounds again.
"Two men at the holmr The cal turns
swif tly, and wo separato the couple. Tho
whales disappear. Wo follow tho direction
they are taking, and look! a little before
as the sen becomes emerald groon. "Slow,"
again. Tho vessel moves slowly forward,
and tho whale reappears twenty yards off.
"Stop," shouts tho captain.
A KEPOrtT HENDS TUE AIR.
Tho gun is turnod, rabod, and again low
ered not a sound U beard on board tho
whale has puffed the back is bending; the
captain aims and a thundering report rends
the air, and makes tho vessel tremble In
e ery section. We ha o watched all this
with otery nervo strained, and hardly feel
tho icy foam of tho sea which bedews tho
cheek ami benumbs the hands.
"Did you hit himH wo shout to tho cap
tain. "Don't know," is the laconic answer. "Al
most absurd to attsinpt it in such a sea; on
rUks losing the gear and frightening tho
w hals."'
In tho mcantimo all the crew are busy
clearing tho lino of the harpoon, and we aro
still in doubt whether wo hao hit him. but
the supens does not last long, as immedi
ately a -look cut" is shouted by the captain,
and tile lino runs out with tamllc speed and
a great noiv. "Full sjwaI ahead," is shouted
talow; but the ship is running double her
highest sjeed, such is tho strength of tho
w halo which has her iu tow. Tho animal Is
t'.i in; at the top of its spool, and we follow
riut through the breaking seas. Ten min
utes pass ly they stem ten hours when
suddenly a blood-stroiked column of water
if seen on tho horizon. It is our whala!
Another moment, anl a clear ons Is s-on.
It is his conpan.on which follows hrr

dcsM not run so fast, tho wounded whale

The w bale is dead. After a while the haul-Ing-m

work in asvuring the monster to the vmI
with chains and ropes, th course l shaped

"VLat do you think of it, captain!" I ast
"Not bad," he answered simply. "Steward,
give the crew a drink all around! And let
us ha e something to eat,"
The whale measured more than eighty
feet in length.
