Whittemore School District.

A correspondent oftho Register writes ::
The exhibition which came off Saturday
evening, March LIST, was, in every re-
spect, complete success. 1t was princi-
pally got up by the scholars in the dis
trict; they had, however, some help
from older members. 1t is very seldom
that we find district with no more adj
vantages. that can do itself the credit
that this has won. All the parts we've
exceedingly well performed, and showed
hard study and thorough drill The
dramas entitled I'm want oil Male
Cook" 1.-The man with a Demijohn,"
and 1--WE are all Teatotalers, were very
interesting and performed in a manner
highly creditable. and the music given on
tho occasion, was excellent. This ex'
bibition made the close OF very protita
bile and pleasant term OF school. MIR

man and fine teacher. winning the re
spect and love of all with whom he
meets. We learn that he is to enter

The Cider Lar.

The Legislature repealed all the laws
Of last year relating to the sale of cider,
and restored the law as il formerly was
upon that subject. The restored law is
section % of chapter IS of the revised
statutes, and is in these words:
SEC. % The provisions OF this chap
ter shall not extend 10 the manufacture
and sale OF unadulterated cider in any
case, nor 10 wine made nom fruit grown
in this State, nor 10 the sale by agents
appointed under the provisions oil this
chapter, of pure wine for sacIamenlal
and mechanical uses.
Such is the law OF the manufacture and
sale of cider, and it is all the law there is
upon this subject.
To be sure there is law which pro-
yides. that il any person makes his house.
shop, or place nuisance by the sale
therein of intoxicating liquors. such
nuisance may be abated.

school. not exceeding $500 from the
State to shy one town the appropriations

qured by law for common school pur-
poses. When two such schools are main
tanned, the town is entitled to receive the
same State aid as If the expenditures had
been made for one. Two or more adj
joining towns may unite in maintaining
one school and receive the same aid as if
"a single town We're concerned. Districts,
even, may unite, and become the bene.

Thursday evening, Rev. George w.
Bickncll. OF Portland, gave the first OF

Correspondence Of the Eagle

EAGLE. Kansas, July lst. 1873.
EpITOR EAGLE: We had rather severe
storm here this morning, which did considera-
BILE damage in the way Of tearing down houses
and blowing down grain. The wind was ac-
companied with considerable rain and some
hail. The damages to buildings as far as can
learn are rs follows: The house of Clark
Camp, jr, was totally demolished. Fortunate
ly it was unoccupied, Mr.. G. having gone to
Iowa for bis family. The next we notice is
that the barn of Mr.. VIM. VanBuran has the
roof torn off and the south end bowed out,
leaving it but little better than a total wreck.
The house of Z. ii. Clark, esq, was moved off
the foundation some sixteen inches. The
house of Mr.. McEl,ain was blown down, but
it was also unoccupied. There were several
buildings moved OFF their foundations in Sedg-
witch City, but as yet no personalinjuries have
been made known There has been consider
able damage done to the crops by the wind and
hail. Wheat and oats are beaten down some,
and the corn is badly ''miXed'' and the leaves
literally torn to ribbons Crops looked fine
before the storm. but not so good now, yet we
hope TO have fair crop this season. We had
another soaking rain this afternoon. How are
you drouthy Kansas. j. W. CAMP.

AWORD TO TRAVELLERS We have word
to say in favor of the Missouri Pacific railroad.
1t was the ''pioneer" line westward and is the
cold reliable' route to St. Louis. With the
improvements which have been made during
the past year, we believe that the Missouri Pa
citic railroad has the best track and the finest
and safest equipment Of any line west of the
Mississippi. 1t is the only line which runs
three daily express trains of fine coaches and
Pullman sleepers, equipped with the Miller
platform and patent AIR brake, from the lead
ing points in the west, through Kansas City,
Sedalia and jefferson City without change,
connecting at st. Louis with eleven different
through routes to points north, east and south.
Particular information, with maps, time Ia
bles, etc., may be had at the various Through
ticket railroad stations in the west, or upon
personal or written application to G. ii. Bax-
ter, western passenger agent, Kansas City,
NO., or f. A. Ford, general passenger agent,

The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1873-07-10
Our town was noticeably quiet and orderly

Our town was noiiceaby quiet and orderly
last Sabbath. All saloons were closed, rs also
nearly all places of business, and no disturb
the day. In conversation with Mayor Hope,
on Monday, be said that he was determined it
should be so hereafter. for which, if successful,
he will deserve the thanks of the entire people.
The truth of the whole matter is, that we as q
people have been unitedly working together
for the Texas cattle trade, knowing full well
that there were some disagreeable elements
connected with it, and the very best thing we
can do, under the circumstances, is TO keep
such elements within the bounds of reason and
decency. That the authorities, backed by the
moral sentiment of the community, can do SO
much we have not the least doubt. while the
possibility to do more is exceedingly uncer-
tain. There are certain disreputable things
that should be kept beyond the city limits. and
others that should be tabooed outright. And
they can be. The way TO do il is not by bazoning
such vices and outrages upon decency through
the press. but by that surer and more effectual
method, the quiet yet powerful arm Of the law.
The larger proportion of this paper goes TO the
homes that are to be found throughout this
valley and to people in eastern states who con-
template casting their lot with us, and we
cannot afford to fill its columns with disgusting
details to the end that the proper Indignation
may be evolved; but for the suppression Of
crime and vice in a proper manner, whatever
of influence we may have will be cheerfully
given.
