EDITOR EAGLE: While our enierprising
builders up of the city are putting forth very
praiseworthy efforts toward making Wichita n
permanent and substantial town. there appears
to be an important measure to success that Is
overlooked. This is done. in my humble view
OF the matter, in not using more efficient means
to make the place more healthful. We herald
abroad the idea that Wichita is situated in a
healthftil locality. There is no doubt that in
freedom from sickness, from whatever cause,
our growing city will compare favorably with
any other place in Southern Kansas. yet the
fact that there are among lis victims 10 malarial
diseases. is patent to all Observers such NAL
aides are. doubtless, 10 be found in all newly
settled prairie countries, but that fact should
not lesson our efforts to overcome, as far as
possible some defects, both natural and arti-
fetal. incident to the place. one principal ard
very plausible defect is a want Of better drain
age of the land on which some parts of the city
lie. would beg leave to call attention espec-
ially to the condition of the drain that Is sup
posed TO lead the surplus water away from the
south part of Topeka avenue. From Douglas
a, enue south the ditch already made is too
deep. or rather the water course in the slough
leading south from English street is not deep
enough The water now stands in the drain,
before mentioned. at depth of several inches :;
and until better facilities are afforded for car
rying of the water that accumulates there dur
ing each heavy rain. it will stand until il sinks
slowly away through the earth. or just a slow
" evaporates. filling the surrounding atmos-
phere with poisonous miaSna. This can hard
" fail to produce state of affairs imD,sdiafe'y
profitable TO the druggist. but not very condu-
Give to the wcll-being Of the residents in the
vicinity. nor very inviting to the emigrant.

Henry Tsdale. the superintendent Of the
Southwestern stage company, arrived here on
last Monday from FIT. Sill. From him we learn
that the Osagcs are the only Indians that are
showing a warlike disposition. In killing
Sadawali, the Wichita chief, they have incur
red the displeasure of not only the Wichtas.
but of the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe tribes
also, all of which tribes are making extensive
war preparations, with the ayowed determine

Objectionable in all this. We think it would

Mr.. W. n. O'Nealey had 4 pair of finely
matched farm horses stolen frGi2 his place, two
miles southwest Of Wichita. on last Tuesday
night. Both animals were very valuable. Mr..
O'Nealcy tracked the stolen stock nearly to
the great bend, where he could hear nothing
further II is very evident that the time has
arrived when stern and summary measures
should be adopted to put stop at once TO TINS
horse stealing. Farmers are becoming alarmed
for the safety Of their horses. While we ordin-
arily deprecate anything that smacks of mob
law, yet if there is any more horse stealing IN
this vicinity. we would counsel the farmer,
and stock men to Immediately organize and If
necessary make fearful example of few
guilty parties as soon as caught.

Judge A. J. Greenway, whose place is just
below town. has been resident Of this coun-
try for twenty-five years. lie came out here
a. trader to the Osages in 1882, at which
time his brother was agent for that tribe. The
Judge is thoroughly acquainted, not only with
this country and its climate. but with the
character of the Indians who roamed this
country. We hope he will contribute TO these
columns "reminiscences or his life among the
red men. lie speaks the language of the
Osages very fiuenty. We have no doubt his
recoections Of this country in am early day
would prove interesting to those of US who eX-
pect to make this our future home.
