For Auditor OF State.

Now and then we notice some spec
ulation as to probable candidates fol
auditor of slate. The EAGLE is not
in the state business. but that there is
the least possible show to beat Wilder
we cannot understand. And even il
there was the republican party OF Kan.
sas cannot afford TO set him aside this
fall, however great the pressure from
old politicians or however strong the
claims of locality. We should almost
feel like kicking out of the traces If his
claims were ignored in the state con.
veniion. The state can as lily afford
TO spare him as the republican party
ID. W. Wilder will be auditor of state
two wears longer.

An Arkansas Valley Congressman.

The Hutchinson NewS copies in full
our article touching the necessity and
possibility of electing congressman
from the Arkansas valley, and com
ments in the following broad-guagcd,
liberal and sensible manner:
We clipped the above article from
the Wichita EAGLE, one OF the best
conducted and most influential papers
in Kansas. In said article the EAGLE
hit the nail on the head. Southwest
ern Kansas is an immense country in
area, resource and is fast becoming inn
mense in population. Her interests
are more extensive and profound than
those perhaps of any portion of the
state. and thus far they have received
less attention. She does right i'll in
sisting that a man go to congress who
fully understands and is fully identi-
fed with all her needs. In other words
she should unite on a Southwestern
man rather than one who lives and has
lived at Topeka or in Central Kansas,
provided she has men SO located, able
and honest. These we have, and none
possess istellectual and moral strength
in higher degree than the two dwelt
upon by the EAGLE. Mr.. Sluss We
know to be a good lawyer and an ac-
complished gentleman-in fact. all the
EAGLE claims for him.
As to Judge w. II. Brown, too much
cannot be said in his favor. Where
he is known best he is admired most.
AS jurist and as a man he is the peer
of any Though comparatively young
in wears. he is old in experience and
thought. BY habits of unremitting
study. by an unusually executive turn
and by his sterling integrity, he has
attained position of great weight in
the extensive district over which he
has long and creditably presided. If
he is induced to make an active canvass
he will receive solid home support
and the most favorable regard of the
counties east and west of us. Without
any disparagement to Mr.. Sluss and
MANY other competent men, we express
il that the third congressional district
could not do better than to select
Judge Brown As its first representa-
tive. Ife,ected he would attend strict
" to business. with a thorough knowl-
edge OF the wants and wishes of his
constituents. with no bad habits TO
to waste his strength and with no as
ssciations of such character as to warp
his action. He il indeed an excellent
man for the plaee.-Hutchison Meas.

Stock Report.

EDITOR EAGLE: BY your permits
sion thought | would furnish your
valuable paper with a few cattle items.
In the month of June. 1872. there was
shipped from this place ll9 cars of cat
tie: IN June. 1873. So cars. and in June,
1874. 2ll cars. The 2il cars shipped
in June. 1874. was divided among the
several points as follows: To Atchi-
son. rs cars 10 Kansas City. lo2 cars:
to ST. Louis. seventeen ears: 10 Law
renee. four cars: to Leavcnworih. two
cars: TO ST. Joseph. one ear. Quite Il
large number of the cattle have been
shipped by second hands. and good
many changed hands in the yards here.
Quite a number of the cattle shipped
TO Atchison were forwarded on to Chi
cago. The sales from there have been
very satisfactory TO shippers. The
quality of stock shipped the last ten
DAYS has been much improved 10 that
of the fore part OF June. Business for
a few days back has been rather dull
on account of the Fourth. but we are
expecting lively market after the
buyers get over the Fourth and return
to business. Yours, JOHN CLINE.

Richard Stevenson. chairman of the
board of county commissioners of sum-
ncr county, came up Yesterday. lie
was on his road up to the capital 10
see the governor. When he left Wei
lington many farmers and settlers were
coming into town. All they wanted
was arms. Several companies were
organizing. Some twenty well armed
men started down the trail the night
before from Caldwell ts relieve Lafl
Inns train.
There is but one solution of this
whole troublesome question. The
government policy towards these lousy,
thievimg. numbering red devils is all
wrong aud has been wron. for years,
and is so understood by every western
man of experience. The people of
Southwestern Kansas cannot afford TO
let things 90 Oh this way, even if the
government and the Quakers Of the
east can. These raids made by these
small band. must be stopped. The
only way to deal with an Indian when
found off his reservation is to kill him.
There is no good in them. Ii is an IN
dams ambilion-his whole lifc's de-
sire. to murder aud steal. lie knows
nothing else, and will receive no other
instructions. Missionaries, preachers,
bibles, priests and Quakcrs are thrown
away upon them. Their destiny Is
extinction and the quicker it is done
the better tor all concerned.
LATER.
This "Wednesday afternoon we are
in receipt Of two private dispatches
from sumner county, and DIR. {. {.
Bond, just in from Medicine Lodge,
wa, UP 10 see US. The people of sum-
ner county are somewhat alarmed at
reports. but no Indians have been seen.
News received at Wellington from the
territory show that the indians are
harrassing travel through TO FIT. Sill.
Or. Bond says no Indians have been
seen in Barbour county since the muir
der three or four weeks ago. The DIR.
is living on his farm, thirteen miles
above Medicine Lodge.
II looks now as though the big In
dian war will amount TO nothing more
than a scare.

The Ministerial Association.
WICHITA, June S0th, 1871

WICHITA, June S0th, 1874.
The first district ministerial assOcia-
ton for lie present ecclesiastical year
just closed Il pleasanc session at the NJ.
E. church in this city. There were
present some fourteen or sixteen miii-
listers from abroad who were members
Of said meeting.
The opening sermon was preached
BY Rev. Walter Oakley from John II.
-, on the power of the cross. The
childrcn's meeting on wednesday eve
was not a decided success. For some
reason it was not largely attended by
the children.
The addresses were not as rich in
thought, juicy in matter, or as attract
in manner as hoped they would be.
We had very good ministerial
PRAYER and experience meeting on
Thursday eve. The lay brethren were
as dumb as frogs in dog days.
The design of this and all similar
gatherings is for mutual profit and ed
iiication; also to discuss various mat
tiers of interest TO the churches and
Sunday schools. The representation
Of the present condition and prospects
OF the different charges was of cOnsid-
cradle interest The essays and adj
dresses exhibited a good degree of
earnestness. intellectual culture and
moral powers. Some of them might
be called superior efforts. ii. j. Walker
wrote a very fine essay on church and
Sunday school music, which was re-
quested 10 be published in the Central
Adc0cate, of St. Louis. DIR. Oakley
wrote an able essay on the preparation
and manner Of pulpit effort. The
brethren, old and young, will do well
to heed its instructions. No man can
succeed to-day who fails to make thor
ough preparation, or who fails to cul.
tivate pleasing manner or style of
delivery. Other essays were good.
The meeting, | think, was regarded by
those present rs a success. 1t closed
Thursday eve, the oath inst, the next
one to be held the first Tuesday of No
vember at Newton.
