'SOME FELLOW BY ME NAME OF W. E.
STANLEY."
To the Editor of the Easlc.
"Some fellow," over the signature of "TV.
E. Stanley," (thinking perhaps the name
would add weight to his sentences) has ad
vertised as the local attorney of
the Fort Scott and Rock Island railroad
companies, for all of which is
grateful.
The Eagle having permitted to
write, anil permitting "somo fellow,"' over
"sij"' of "W. E. Stanley,"' to criticise, can
not well afford t) permit a newspaper cor
respondent, which will become oITensive to
the public, and in nowise direct public at
tention, to the matter of "public interest,"
and winch will in a measure reflect on the
Eagle. Henco does not wish or
desire a personal wrangle in tho Eagle
with "some fellow"' who uses tho name of
"Y. E. Stauley.'
' has no personal interest in any of
the matters mentioned in his article, and de
voted no more spaco to street railway than
heretofore devoted to the "double bridge"
and the "market houe,"' and simply gave an
opinion on tho street car bu-iness.
As to Riverside Park,and its president, J.
O. Davidson, the park is admitted to bo a
necessity, and Davidson admitted to bo a
"shrewd financier," an average banker and
a good citizen.
frankly admits that a street car
line to Riverside park, if not now a necessity,
will be shortly.
- reiterates that what "Wichita de
mands now is as follows, viz:
1. Settlement of railroad right of way
through the city, and that the extension of
Rock Island avenue is one way to do it. This
is now the important measure beforo tlie city
council.
2. 3Iarket house.
:. Double bridgo on Douglas avenue.
1. Frauchisos granted for the "public
good' not the individual gooi. If any
franchise asked, after consideration's shown
to be for tho "public," grant it.
- .; jias never been interested in
any franchise, that tho public has not ap
proved. The facts are that the "West Sido franchise
was obtained to compel the present streetcar
compeny to build en tho "West side to the
fair ground in time for the fair last fall, and
as soon as this was dono tho f ranchiso was
turned over to the company.
Riverside might do the same thing. This
statement can bo verified by Robert Law
rence, F. G. Smyth, Sr., N. S. "Woods, M.
W. Levy, N. F. Niederlander and A. "W.
Oliver.
CONCLUSION.
Let us keep ud the "boom,"' and discuss
those things that will keep up tho boom. Tho
diseussion of "tas; titles" and tho average
profit on purchase of same in a given term
of j'ears is not of any interest to the general
public and will bo omitted in this article.
"What Wichita wants is a discussion of
methods to accomplish ends, not crit
icism. Tho best methods should
bo adopted, to the end that tho
tho "boom" bo upheld. "Whoever has a
method let it be suggested.
"Carping criticism" can do no good.
"Somo fellow" might writo an article,
"somo fellow" criticise it and bring "somo
follow" into being, noticed by the "public,"
which "some fellow" does not deserve, and
yet all this might not do any one any good.
Michael Angelo criticised by creating, not
by sneers.
So far as being ashamed of my name
can onl say that when cue lealizes how little
weight is attached to the signature of even a
"great man," ono can bo pardoned for using

Tho Wichita City Medical Society held its
monthly meeting on Tuesday ovening, De
cember 7.
Being deprived by death of ono of its old
est and most useful members, Dr. John II.
Russell, tho socioty deemed it necessary and
befitting that a committee bo npixrinted to
draft certain appropriate resolutions con
cerning tho loss which tiio society had sus
tained in tho demise of Dr. Russoll, and that
tho same bo printed in tho daily papers of
Wichita and a copy be sent to tho beroaved
family:
Whereas, It has pleased the Great Physi
cian in his inscrutable and all wita provi
dence to remove from our midst by the hand
of death our Iriuud and co-worker, Dr. J.
H. Russell, who enjoyed tho ro.-pect and es
teem of his colaberers and col
leagues as well as tho love of
a very large circle of friends and
acquaintance, and who had lon since reach
ed ii nd over maintained the highest standing
in the community both as a prolessioual man
and as a gentleman m tae fullest muco of
the ord. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the members of the
Wichita City Medical society, deeply feel the
great los-. which we and tho entire communi
ty havo sustained in the death of our brother.
Resolved, That we sympathize ith, and
express our condolence to the sorrowing and
bereaved family, lervently trusting that the
mimen ot amiction may not be to gieat for
them to bear. "
Resolved, i hnt tho memorv of him whose
(1wth we mourn be ever fou.flv cherished bv
this society, and that his lauhfulne-s to his
calling bo "held in lasting remembrance.
ite-oiveu, limi tnese resolutions oe print

MEETING OP CITV TEA CHEKS.
The city teachers held their regular month
ly meeting last Friday night at the high
school building. Speeches n ere made by a
number of teachers and the superintendent
discussed a number of topics of interest.
Some of the members of the school board
were lso present and gave assurance that
unless something unusual happened tho
guillotine would not be stained again soon.
CITY COUNCIL-
Held a Quiet Meeting Last Night and Settled
the Right of Way Question of the
Kansas Midland.
A special meeting of the city council was
called last evening at 7:30 o'clock for the
purpose of considering the question of grant
ing the Kausas Midland a riht of way into
the city. His honor, the mayor was in the
chair and Councilmen Healy, Caroy, Harrii.
Stone, Richey, Brown, Allen, Kenyon and
Hoff, present
It seems that it was not intended that the
public should know anything of the meeting
so that as little excitement should prevail as
posdble. But few besides those interested
in the road wore present.
It will bs remembered that the ordinance
submitted by the company asked a privilege
to select a right of way from the following
streets and avenues: Wichita street, Fourth
avenue, Washington avenue and Hydraulic
avenue.
Ever since that ordinance has been before
the council each member of that body
has been daily besieged by people w ho op
posed allowing that company so much free
dom and further seemed anxious that no
more streets than what was absolately neces
sary be set apart for the use of railroads
This public sentiment caused tho railroad
committee to refuse the company any or the
streets and avenues mentioned in tho ordi
nance. Tho committee decideded to recommend
Mosely aveuuo and acted accordingly. Tho
report was adopcen by the council without a
dissenting vote. So as it stands the Kansas
Midland will enter the city by Mosley av
enue. Tho route as specified iu tho
ordinance allows tho road to
enter tho north limits of the
city on Washington avenue until it reaches
tho Frisco road. It then goes west on Dover
to Mosley avenue, and Ninth and Mosley to
the south limits of the city.
It is intimated in counoil circles that an
other important road will also bo given Mos
ley avenue as a right of way. In other words
the idea of inviting two or more roads to
use one street seems to be gaining ground.
Already Mosley avenue has been granted to
two roads, with indications that it will bo
granted to another
POLICKCOUKT.
W. J. Thompson was before his honor,
charged with being drunk. Ho acknowl
edged the corn and was lined So. As he had
not calculated on this additional expense to
his carousal, he did not have anything with
which to keep himself from the cooler and
was escorted there by the officer.
W. J. Foley had evidently been having a
vary largo time as tkero were two charges
against him, drunk and disorderly and re
sitting the officer. For each offense he was
finuil ?7, but more fortunate than his prede
cessor, he had money enough to keep him
self from the cage.
Frank Collins had been drunk, was assess
ed tho usual fine, but execution in his case
was suspended.
John Phipps was a bold, bad, bloody man
who was trying to get up a little whow at
the museum. Two charges wero put in
against him by Officer McKee, disturbing
tho peaco and carrying concealed weapons.
KINDClUiAltTEN.
Tho method of teaching by tho kinder
garten system is attracting tho attention of
all thoughtful parents and observing per
sons in general. Mrs. Ifoble Piontis in her
interesting notes of tho recent social club at
Emporia, saj-s: "The future of the normal
school which attracts tho attention of wo
men is, and alwa3's will bo tho kindergarten.
Much has boon said about this mothod of in
structing littlo folks, and numerous as have
been tho experiments, it is ?afe to say that
no one can fail to learu something from a
visit to the normal and a talk with tho ac
complished Miss Emalo Kuhlmau." Tho
kindergarten in Wichita is finding favor
though it is so now an institution tho pa
rents of the pupils b?ing highly pleasjd with
tho progross made ueder Miss Aalsey's in
structions. THE DARK Hinrc OF WICHITA.
Tho Rev. Chas. J. Adams has lectured on
"Th'i Disease" and "Tho Caiue," tonight ho

what he thinks in thi3 matter let it hit whom
it may. Ho thinks that many of our math
ods in reform are hurtful rathor than help

John's church this week, with capacity to
make tho church warm in tho coldest weath-
SIIOW AND OPEN, NO.
The incandescent electric light company
havo received a car load of material from
New York city. Eight hands aro at work
making cells aud rolling zink aud getting
everything ready for starting a plant.
Tne first plant they will start will be at
Gandolfo's. They will have it n?ady to start
on Christmas day.
Gandolfo has decided to defer opening his
building until that time. Ho intends to
make the affair ouo of the best that has ever
been given m the city.
A HAZOK AND A HCN.
A couple of coloi td gents at one of the
lttading hotels of the city got into a slight
disagreement yost-rday aud soon one of
them exhibited his time-honored razor. The
other, strange to sny, was not armed, and
sought safety in flight. They made things
pTcly for some tune but no blood shed.
Ed. Reed is the name of the hero of tho
occasion, aud a warrant was issued in Bar
rett's court soon after the row for his arrest.

AT THE G. A. R. HALL.
Mr. Cope gave another of his most delight
ful elocutionary entertainments last even
ing. The attendance, however, was not
much larger than the first performance; the
ten cent opera and the dime museum proving
too strong attractions for this superior en
tertainment to compete -with.
"How Ruby played the piano," was a very
amusing recitation and heartily enjoyed.
Mr. Cope afterwards gave a selection from
Julius Cffisar; the scene in which Cassius en
deavors to work up the noble Brutns to tho
point of taking Ccesar's life. It was a fine
rendition of ihis magnificent scene, and was
the best feature of the program.
After reciting the '-Fall of the Pemberton
Mills,"' h concluded with the amusing skotch
from Mark Twain, "Uncle Remus' Appara
tion.'" Mr. Cope has made a most favorable im
pression as an elocutionist, and the applause
received from his audiences was a merited
testimonial to his worth.
AT THE OPEKA HOUSE.
Tho Casino Opera Company la
closed their week's engagement in
evening
this city
with the Mascotte.
The house was, as on the previous perform
ances, well filled, and the play well received
by tho audience.
Miss Harvey, who last evauing had the
character Bettina; Miss Hatcher that of
Premier Liannetto, and Mr. Dixon, who rep
resented Lorenzo have ninds a very decided
hit in this city, and havo won an enviable
placa in the estimation of theater goers.
THK ilCSEUM.
The museum last evening drew a large
audience. This pleasant resort appears to bo
growing in favor.
Tho freaks in the curiosity hall appear to
have made a number of friends, and have
during the past week accepted several invi
tations to diuo out. The Dufranos, the glass
eaters, wero up to the Manhattan the other
day at Mr. Roberts' invitation, and somo
cruel minded guests said thoj- devourod all
the goblets for dessert.
There will bo several now and striking
cariosities introduced during tho coming
week.
The organization of tho stock company for
dramatic performances is almost completed,
aud when all the ueces-sary arrangements aro
conoumated somo very pleasing entertain
ments will bo given upou the neat and com
plete little stage in the audience hall.
ADELAIDE JlOOKE.
The fashionable dramatic event of tho sea
son will be tho return of the beautiful young
English actress, Miss Adelaide Moore, who,
supported by her own superb company, will
appear at the opera houso on next Friday
and Saturday nights, with a special ladies'
matineo Saturday afternoon, producing on
Friday uight a grand double bill, consisting
of Gilbert's charming mythological comedy
of Pygmalion and Galatea, and the spark
ling comidetta of the Tho Happy Pair; and
at the Saturday matineo Shakespeare's beau
tiful love story of Romeo and Juliot: on
Saturday night Bulwer's romantic drama,
Tho Lady oi Lyons. Miss Moore and her
magnificent company aro so woll remem
berod by Wichita theater goars that to speak
of their abilities would bo to say tho least
superflous. Miss Mooro will display some
magnificent new dresses which sho has just
received from Worth of Paris, aud hsr col
lection of diamonds repi osonts a small for
tune. Miss Mooro travels in her own gor
geous palace car, which was built expressly
for her at a cost of $52,000, and is conceded
by experts to bo the finest railroad car in
America. It is finished in embossed leather
aud araarantb wood aud satin wood inlaid
with mother of pearl and ebony. Tho car
will arrive in tho city next Friday morning
and be sidetracked at tho St. Louis, Fort
Scott and Wichita railroad depot. It will
be open for inspe-tion from 2 to 3 p. xs. The
public ara cordially invited and ladies will
bo made especially welcome.
Tho sale of seats will open on Monday
morning at tk union ticket ofllco, and it is
safe- to predict a succession of crowded
houses.
THE CONCEBT.
A grand concert will be given by tho choir
of St. John's church, Friday evening, Dec
ember 17th, at G A. R. hall, assisted by the
best talent in the city. They havo also se
