WINFIELD FREIGHTS.

"a. +. & S. f. II. R.-This road is
within forty miles of Winfield, and it
would be but natural To suppose that
goods could be shipped TO this place
by that route great dca, cheaper than
il has cost heretofore. when the rail-
road was scvcnty-fivc to eighty miles
distant. We have been told by some
of our business men here tina; it costs
less to get goods to Winfield by way of
independence. than il does to Wichita,
over the Atchison. Topeka Il Santa Fee
Road. With the present management
independence is carrying off the laurals
that Wichita as a shipping point ought
To wear. 1t would be well tor the men
who have the interests of Wichita at
heart To look into this matter. and
bring about Il change that will be BEN
cficial To their welfare as well as ours
Umfetd Messenger.
We are happy to inform the -Hessen-
ger and the people of Winfield that we
understand that satisfactory arrange
mcnts have been made with the man
ayement of the road in question where
hy il will be TO the interests of the
merchants of Winfield to ship to and
from this point.

SEDGWICK COUNTY SCHOOLS

EDITOR EAGLE: a few lines in re-
latiOn to the condition of the schools in
Sedgwick county may be of interest to
YOUR readers. Although our county is
new and but little has been done COM
pared with what yet remains to be
done, there is arcadv lively interest
awakened in regard to schools: and
will report from time 10 time through
your paper the progress of the different
districts in the county.
DISTRICT NO. |.
This district formerly comprised the
city of Wichita and a portion of the
adjoining country two miles wide and
four miles long. When Wichita be-
came city of the second class the dis
trict was narrowed down. aud its pres
cnt boundaries are co-eXtensive with
the city limits. The school house is
situated on j. L. Meals addition, is
centrally located. and is fine two,
story building -urmountcd by bcltry
which contains good sized, clear
toned bell.
The house was built be the city.
which voted bonds to the amount of
five thousand dollars for its erection.
1t contains three rooms-two below
and one above. These are high, well
lighted. and. with the exception of the
upper room, which is but temporarily
furnished. are provided with the best
of furniture. and are comfortable and
pleasant. The teachers are provided
with desks. chairs. bibles and daily
registers. Mr.. III. q. SHOWER has been
in charge of the school durin" the past
wear. and received seventy dollars per
month. He was assisted by Mrs. West.
who received forty-tive dollars per
month. and by Miss Emma Sharon.
The whcIc number of scholars enroll
ed is one hundred and forty. These
are divided into three grades. The
teachers are workers and looked well
to the interests of their pupils, who APP
peare,l 10 be diIigcnt and making good
advancement in their respective
branches of study.
Good order prevailed throughout all
the departments. The following text
books were used. put we expect a
change for the better viii be made and
some series of text books adopted be-
fore the commencement cf the fall
term: The American readers, Martin
dale's spoilers. Rays arithmetic. Mitch
ellis Geography. Harvey's grammar
aud Goodrich's history. Although
much has been done To advance the ed
ucaiionai Interests of our city. yet we

THE JUDGESHIP.

We see by the Winfield Messenger
that a call has been issued to the bar of
the Thirteenth judicial district for a
meeting at Winfield in which to rec
ommend to the people a candidate for
judge. This call is signed by quite a
respectable number of the lawyers Of
Butler and Cowley counties. This ac-
ton may be well advised. but we suy-
gcst that there are other counties in
the Thirteenth district. among which
is Sedgwiek, with bar full thirty
strong. composed of men than whom
in legal lore and judicial acuincn no
greater can be found in the district.
BESIDES. we opinc, that Sumner aud
Sedgwick will demand large per cent.
of the time of the Judge during the
next term. We have not consulted
the bar of Wichita for their judgment
touching this movement. but if that is
20 be the programme let there he
concert of action by the entire bar of
the district.
As a rule the lawyers Of any given
district are the best qualified to select
the one of their number possessing
the character and requirements for the
honorable station under consideration.
and as rule, too, the people are salts
fled TO abide their judgment in such
choosing. provided there be any de-
gree of unanimify; but when sectional
animosities and ambitions divide and
distract the bar the chances are that
Nh unworthy and inefficient judge will
be chosen.

THE FIFTH PARALLEL.

Union says:
The right of way having been Sc
cured for mile or two, the work of
grading on the above road west from
Humboldt was commenced last week.
This is being done in compliance with
the requirements of the Greenwood
county vote. that the work shall COM
mcmcc before July 1st II only now
depends on Woodson county whether
il shall be pushed through without de-
lay. The county bonds are undoubt-
cdly defeated; but if the other town
ships will follow in the lead Of Center,
there will be but little delay III its cX-
tension through Woodson county.
Parties are waiting with the money
to invest in the contract. II the town.
ships through which it is proposed to
run the road will subscribe to the cX-
tent of their ability. the road bed will
be ready this fall bat if that is not
done we cannot say how soon it will
be extended beyond the western line
of this county. nor what direction it

THE COUNTY CONVENTION,

Is il not time that the republican
central committee of Sedgwick county
was making its call. by reference to
the state call it will be seen that little
time enough intervencs between this
and the last Thursday in August for
general notification. We want every
precinct in the county represented in
county CONVENTION to the end that good
and true men may be sent to represent
us i'm the state conventions that meet
on the 4th of September. OF the names
Of the gentlemen composing the rcpub-
licau central committee of Sedgwick
we are not advised. otherwise we
would give them in this connection,
but we expect they are warm in the
cause.
The voice of Southwestern Kansas
shOald be heard i'm both conventions

Some of the English medical men
appear 70 believe that thoro aro bovor-
ages consumed BY the laboring poor
nearly as injurious to their health as
those which come under the general
name of alcoholic drinks. DIR. Alridgc,
of North Staffordshirc, one of the pot
terry inspectors acting under the home
Office. writes that there is a lamcntable
amount Of sickness among the women
of the working class in the pottery
districts. consequent upon the abuse
OF tea. These women make ii u prin-
cipal article of diet. and drink it. u>u-
ally without milk or sugar three times
a day. At most meals bread and butter
is the only solid accompaniment. To
this excessive tea drinking is ascribcd
a general deterioration ofhcalth among
the working classes and lowered vi
tally in the rising generation.

The New Town.

Quite number OF the monicd Iaen
of this town. in connection with q
number of the citizens of Little Wal
nut and Hickory Greek. are making ar
engagements 70 lay out Il new town
near the junction of the above streams.
From what we car learn we conclude
that these gentlemen are in earnest,
and that it is proposed to make the
new embryo city d success. Judging
from the country lying adjacent there
to, and from the class of citizens who
inhabit that part of the county, we
conclude that very substantial town
can be built up there. If the people
of the vicinity take hold of the matter
we can see no reason to apprehend Il
failure. As soon as the site is selected
and the organization of the company
is completed we will make a full re-

The EAGLE, of Wichita, asserts that
not more than 1000 bccves have been
