THE ANNUAL PARADE OF THE FIRE
DEpARTMENT-TnE ORDER OF Process
sIoN-FINE DIspLAY-On Monday last,
the Fire Department had their annual celc-
tion and parade. For some time past, prep
arations have been silently but surely going
on, looking towards this termination. En-
gincs had been repaired, rc-painted, brasscs
FURNISHED, uniforms looked after, and every
thing made ready for the parade. All Monday
forenoon was employed in giving the last
touch to the Engines, and in decorating
them with flowers, which the female friends
Of the frcmcn did with their accustomed
taste in such matters.
At three o'clock, pursuant to the motto,
published in the JOURNAL last week, thu
signal of formation was given, and the fire
men brought up their machines to a posi-

MEMoR1AL DAY-DECoRATION OF THE

MEMORIAL DAY-DECoRATIoN OF THE
SOLDIERS GRAvEs-INcIDENTs OF THE
OccAs1oN.-In accordance with the no
tice published last week, the ladies were
out in force on Friday afternoon at the
Cemetery, to present their annual tribute
of love to the memory of the Confcdcr-
ate Dead, who repose in our midst. Quite
a number of gentlemen were also i'll at
tendance.
The proceedings were begun by prayer
offered by Rev. A. J. Stokes, which was
very appropriate to the occcsion.
Hon. W. z. Lcincr was then called
upon and delivered an address as follows:
lie alluded to the cause OF assembling
here this afternoon; to pour out the llba-
tons of grateful hearts upon the graves
of our heroic dead. The Confederate
soldier was man Of peculiar charactcris-
tics, highest and noblcSt Of Nilichw"s his
devotion to duly Ghc then ra"racl Ger
tain incidents from life which Illustrated
their extreme devotion to dnty:) this de-
votion was stimulated by the noble wo-
men of the South: that the Greatcst
struggles are not those Of the battle
field, but those Of the human heart,
which were fought in the silence Of the
clos,t and in the secret Of the night
watches: that the cause for which we
fought is not dead: the glorious cause of
constitutional liberty was staked in The
issue: it was part and parcel Of our
existence: that the Southernc"s were a
peculiar people, ro,cl tor the grandeur
Of their moral character and the purity
of their social na lure ii is our duly to
promotc the interest Of the cause ior
which we fought, by preserving otr ldcn-
tity as people, and the best way oi
cAcctiug this end is to cherish memories
such as these and by paying such tribute
as we do to-day, and by teaching our
children's children to revere the memory
and emulate the virtues Of The Conieder-
ate Dead.
After this short but eloquent address,
the ladies proceeded to the work ofdccora-
ting the graves of ;hc soldiers, sad and
mournful duty which they well perform
cd.
We have thought of the propriety Of
having an Association among the ladies,
the object Of which should be have a
systematic way Of attending TO the de-
coration and care taken of the graves of
our soldiers. The plan works we'll in
other places. The annual contribution
could beput down to fifty cents, sum
so low that every one could well afford
to belong to the Association, and much
might be done in the relief Of worthy
distressed widows and orphans ofdeceas-
ed soldiers.
We merely throw out the suggestion
for what it may be worth, though we be-
lcve the idea TO be q good one.

made much more 50 by judicious system of
management. At all fires the different COM

Terrible Tornado in Arkansas

MEMPHIS, Sept. 27-The officers of
the steamer Julia, which arrived here
to-day. report terrible tornado at
OsccOla. Ark, yesterday morning.
The tornado struck the town at l
o'clock Yesterday morning, and in a
few minutes there was scarcely house
or building left standing either in town
or its immediate vicinity. Horses and
cattle were blown around the streets
like straws, and the timbers of houses
and fences were strewn in all direc-
tiOns for miles. Cotton fields were all
DESTROYED three churches and six
large stOrehouses were blown down
and the timbers carried away. The
mills and cotton gins were torn to frag-
nents, not vestige of any of them be-
ing left. Two men and one woman
were killed and from fifteen to twenty
persons injured, some of them it
is thought fatally. The tornado cross
ed the river taking nOrtheastermly
direction, tearing trees from their roots
and levcling fences, buildings, and
everything on its course. The steamer
Julia had barely passed its path.

THE JUDGESHIP.

There appears some considerable RI
valry among localities and men for the
position of Judge of the 18th judicial
district. The contest appears To be
between the present incumbent (Judgc
Campbcl0. Eugene l.. Akin. of Au-
gusta, aud }. NJ. Baldcrston, of this
place. We do not believe in tearing
down one to build another up. and
therefore have said nothing dcrogato-
ry to the candidates personally and re.
spcct them all. and knowing them as
We do. have nothing 10 say against any
of them. But not only As Wichita
man. but as am individual. We heartily
endorse the action of the bar of this
city in asking the ejudgcship Wichita.
Mr.. Balderston not only received the
endorsement of the bar. which saws
more for his attainmenis than we can,
but the county convention instructed
their delegates to vote for him. Mr..
r. is yet a young man. Of naturally
strong and aggressive mind, and would
no doubt, If elected, fill the honorable
position of judge with honor to him
self and satisfaction TO his friends.

Terrible Gale.

DETROIT. Sept. 29.-The most furi-
Gus gale of the season set in last night
aud still continues with unabated force
from the west and southwest. Being
unlocked for. its effects on shipping
will undoubtedly be disastrous. Four
vessels are reported ashore and sunk
near the head of Lake Erie. The only
name asccrtained is the bark Annie
Vaught. which had the appearance OF
another vessel lying across her decks,
and had probably been in collision.
The Vaught had the signal Of distress
flying, but nothing could approach her.
Another vessel was near by with the
crew on the rigging. The United
States steamer Michigan, and number
of tugs are at the mouth of the river
ready to go out as soon as the weather
will permit. The propeller Galena. is
ashore on Thunder Bay island, and has
probably gone to pieces.

GIVE Us REST.

AT Wichita last Thursday night a
general fight occurred, in which two
Texans were shot. One of them died
Immediately, and the other within a
few hours. The deceased were men of
the basest character, and even their
fellow Texans regard their demise as a
''gOOd thing for the peace and quiet
Of Southwestern Kansas Common
Weaith.
1t is matter Of no great Importance
to us whether the state paper publishes
lies or truths SO long as it applies
neither to our town. But of such a
monstrOus production as the above
we are compelled to say it is too infer
nal mean for any use. What can be
the motive of the editor in publishing
such wholesale untruths surpasses our
understanding. There has not been q
man killed in Wichita since our resi-
dencc here, nor an attempt to kill one
that we ever heard of. The inclination
to let daylight through the writer of
the above might prove irresistible
should he ever get this far away from
home. But of course man who
writes like the above never gets any
place outside of his office, unless into
a cellar saloon. Whisky drOolings of
the most insane type. So it is with
reference to the respective cattle busi-
ness of Ellsworth and Wichita. Every
day the Commonwealth contains from
one to five locals of the number of cars
of cattle that go down the Kansas Pa
cific, while nothing is said of those
that go over the a., L. 4 :. f., while
he must know that five cars go from
here where there is one from Ellsworth.
Give us rest, and at the same time give
us little justice and not quite SO
much whisky drOOlings.

news received here from Santa Fe rep
rescnts the excitement over the north
western New Mexico diamond districts
as growing and evidences of their
wealth accumulating.
The agent ofthc Pacific diamond and
ruby company this week received
about twenty pounds of beautiful
stones by government blackboard
from Fort Wingate. This lot was but
a small portion of the yield Oft COM
pany's ground. No facilities were af-
fordcd for sending on large amount.
The variety principally consisted of
sapphires. opals. rnbics and garnets.
among which were some exquisitely
fine gems. The whole lot was immedi-
atcly forwarded by Wells, Fargo 4

WICHITA NEWSPAPERS.

Wichita in the past has been some
what unfortunate in her newspaper
enterprises. The Tribune, after short
and fitful life. went out, leaving many
subscriptions unfulfillcd. The Videfte
changed proprietorship or firm name
three times the past spring and sum-
mcr. and with each change, under the
stimulus of fair promises, many per-
SONS were induced to become subscrib-
crs. just after the last change and the
reception of several campaign clubs Of
subscribers, it also ceased to appear.
These misfortunes, or mismanage-
men's. have put newspaper enterprises
in Wichita in bad odor, and hardly a
day passes that we do not feel the effect
of these failures. Men come and say,
well, | should like to subscribe for
your paper very much, but | have been
bit so badly two or three times in
Wichita newspapers, / guess I'll only
try your EAGLE bird three months"
Some will only risk it few weeks.
No one can deplore this state of things
SO much as Ourself. 1t not only affects
our pocket directly, but the usefulness
and influence of this paper. We want
to say to the people of Sedgwick coun-
~, especially to that portion of it who
came here expecting to make this their
home, that this is our home also, that
We have too big, too costly paper,
too much money invested and that we
are too well and soundly established
to burst up or suspend. The EAGLE
is bona .fde institution in this valley,
and will probably daily and weekly
roll from steam cylinder press after
its founder shall have passed away.
Then every subscriber may rest assur-
ed that he will get his full number of
papers or his money refunded.

The Old Excitement.

TITCsvILLE. Pa, Sept. 30.-The oil

The iEtensest feeling prevails over the
movement to suspend the production
Of oil. Dispatches from the districts

universal, andShere are probably not
over fifty wells producing tonight. In
some localities it is reported violence
has been resOrted to in CARRYING out the
measures. Well rigs were burned and
engines destroyed by sledge hammers.
and oil tanks tapped. Some are still
strongly holding out against it, but it
is thought they will yield and further
violence will be avoided. The effect
of the movement is already apparent
