Coal FOR Wichita.

EDITOR EAGLE: Permit me TO sug-
gest that the present time would be
most opportune for some of our we'll
TODD citizens and farmers forming
themselves into an association with a
view to boring for coal in the vicinity
or say within three or four miles OF
this city. There can be no doubt in
the minds Of those who have any
knowledge of coal mining and the
oeooraphical strata and surroundings
indicating the whereabouts of this
mineral, that it exists in large quanti-
ties and not far distant from our own
doors. No one man, however, as mat
tiers 90 with us at present, would be
disposed to place all his eggs in one
basket. but there are cogent reasons
for advocating combination to dc
this one thing. There should be nc
half-hearted policy manifested in the
undertaking. There ought to be am
ple funds subscribed to admit of the
test being thorough and unmistakable
The result to all parties would, | am
satisfied. be most cheering. Who will
undertake the business and thus rem
der lasting service to our valley and
city? Yours,
WHITWoRTH.

Another Short Eclipse.

EDITOR EAGLE: would offer the
following apology for my criticisms
that seem to "B. c. W." so 'un Just
and uncalled for:'
Being raised under the instruction
of friend Quakcrs. who believe in
speaking as they feel and always tell
inc the truth, felt like speaking and
of course must tell the truth. | did
not see "B. &. W" between me and
that eclipse" ! hope no one is Of
Tended and that the "cause" of eclip-
ses is not so much disturbed as to
"incline" the moon TO forever miss
the carth's shadow in all her future
revolutions. From this evolves an
idea. in the form of question for
"schoolbovs." II the moons rate OF
motion should be changed (the incli-
nation remaining the same) so that two
of its revolutions exactly equal one
revolution of the earth minus the re.
trograde motions of the moons nodes,
and this ratio remains permanent and
beginning with last full moon. what
figures would express the time and
number of eciipscs that would occur
in the future? Ny arithmetic puts
the figures down 90. y. r.

room works a man by the name OF
Bragg. who is under sentence for APP
propriating express money At Topeka
about six or seven months ago. He
has Young. pretty and accomplished
daughter. who since her fathers dis
grace aud imprisonment. has been liv-
ing with her fathers friends in the
central part of Texas. She has KEEP,

and tried TO stand up brayely under
the blight which had fallen on her
family: but the attempt. il appears.
was not successful. A few DAYS ago
the unhappy father received letter
informing him that his loved daugh-
ter had committed suicide bv taking
landanum. and placed herself beyond
the ?cers and jibes of cruel unfeellng
world. The father is nearly wild with
grief and cannot be comfor,ed for this.

Forney's Opinion.


Col. Forney, being in London when
he received the news of the American
elections, took but couple of days to
digest Ills facts. and promptly sat down
and wrote the Philadelphia Press
about the matter. lie said:
1.-The American people have declared
that they want the means by which TO
live, and this can be furnished by the
simple process of stopping the reduc-
ton Of the public debt, increasing the
circulating medium. and building the
trans-coniincntal railroads"
Forney's head is about level. Hard
times and growing harder. But will
times ever tighten up until greenbacks.
labor. commerce and the people all get
down to tho original gold basis? We
think not. Temporary relief may he
had by imitation, or by holding up on
the debt, but until greenbscks means
gold, times will not take permanent
upward start.

Kansas Counties.

Last week we made mention OF GER
tain valuable maps aud charts being
executed for the next agricultural re-
port for the state by secretary Gray.
Through the enterprise Of the Atchi-
son Chnmpi0a we are now enabled to
give "A valuable table compiled from
the aforementioned statistics, which
show, full let Of organized counties.
the county seats, the area, the per cent.
of bottom to upland and the per cent.
of timber Ia prairie in each. This is
ealuable table especially to those
contemplating settlement in the state.
Sedgwick county leads all the counties
in the state in area of bottom land by
fourteen per cent, one-half OF her
lands being bottom. In size, Sedg-
| wick is the eleventh county in the
state. In timber she is not quite up
to the average, but she is situated on
a valley the lower portion of which is
densely timbered country. A rail-
road TO the Mississippi via this valley
will give us cheap timber and plenty
Of it. The table is complied from of
fetal sources and is valuable:

Our Mennonites.

Another Mennonite colony of three
hundred families arrived in Kansas
last week. The last invoice of these
hardy northcrners will settle near
Halstead, in Harvey county. IIalstead
is little town situated on the Little
Arkansas where that stream is crossed
by the \. T. & S. +. railroad. They
have water power there which is at
present utilized so far as TO run q

A Sedgwick county farmer raised
600 bushels of peanuts this season and
received eight cents per pound for
them. So reports the Wichita EAGLE,
and Marsh Murdoch would not "fib''

But for the grashoppers his crop
would have went over 1000 bushels.

The Eldorado Times says a lot of
Wichita galoots have been in that vi
entity for the past week with pack of
hounds. running the deer all out of the
country. As soon as they run out OF
whisky they will 60 home.
That is the first time that we ever
heard of anybody in Butler county
running out of whisky, while we are
told that the dears around Eldorado
are not much on the run when chased
by fellows from Wichita.
