We want Butler, Cowley and Sum-
ner and the counties west to send q
delegation to Philadelpelphia in 1876.
Our portion of Kansas should be rep
resented at the great centennial exhi-
bition, and can we not make arrange
ments to meet i'm Wichita, charter q

cral good time! We are laying away
the onc-ten,h of our slender income
for the purpose of creating sinking
fund" sufficient TO pay our way to
z Philadelphia in 1876. Ii will be q
source of pride rs well as pleasure to
be one of the car load who shall go
from this threc-year-old portion of our
broad country back to the proud city
where American independence was
first proclaimed to an astonished and
doubling world, from Independence

We feel as if 'twould do us some
good to see that ancient bell and hear
itaring out its full mellow tones, call

The time will come ere long, and we
hope to be one of the happy company
who will sally" forth from the Ar
kansas valley, enroute for Philadel.
phia, in. 1876. We speak Of taking the
cars at Wichita; but We are reminded
that the end of the Wichita branch
will be south of that city, and who
knows but Belle Plainc, ere that date,
may be the favored spot? BE that as

Four Years Ago.

Four years ago this month Captain
Norton moved into small log cabin
the first on the town sight OF Arkan-
sas city. The whole county then be-
longed to the Osages there was not q
road. bride, surveyed line. fruit tree,
or frame building in Cowley county.
A few squatter had erected hasty little
cabins along some oft water-courses.
Our broad fertile uplands were empty
and misunderstanding wilderness"
Looking at the country as it is to-
day. these statements seem simply in
credible. Who among the widest of
enthusiasts in those days could have
dreamed that We so soon would see
our rivers bridged, flourishing town
built, schools, churches, large sur
plus of grain. meat and fruit, every
inch OF land occupied. and all the appli-
anccs of civilization established.
The progress of our enterprise is as
tonishing. We have every reason to
thank God and take coursge.-Arkan-
sas II-are!er.

The Sedgwick County Agricultural
Society,

The stock holders, officers and d.
rectors of the Scdgw:ck County Agri-
cultural and Stock association met in
EAGLE Office yesterday for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the
affairs of the society, to elect officers
for the ensuing year, and SO forth.
The president called the meeting to
order, and the secretary read the min
utes of the last meeting. The secreta-
ry reported that, in pursuance to reso-
lutions, he had canvassed for the dis
position of the balance Of the stock OH
hand, and he had met with some COLI
siderable encouragement. 1t being
ascertained that only minority Of the
stock was represented, it was deemed
advisable that when the meeting adj
journ that it be till next Saturday q
week, the 25th, which, upon motion,
was adopted, at which time officers
will be elected for the ensuing year.
1t was suggested by Mr.. Kelley that
steps be taken looking to change in
the law, which would appoint some
time during the winter months for the
holding of the annual meeting, such
time being more convenient for farm
ers than spring.
AS only eighteen Of the stock hold
ers were present, we would respect
fully urge upon such as were absent
the necessity and Importance of being
at the adjourned meeting next Sntur-
day week. Probably no one-year-old
society in the state can boast SO much
accomplished and such fiattering pros
poets as this. AS to the matter of
stock, there is hardly doubt that it
will give handsome return in year
or two. Don't forget the adjourned
meeting

A Pun TO COOP TO BE LOsT.-Ear-
ly in the present century, two distin-
guished divines in England, Jay and
Fuller, both noted for love of fun and
dry jokes as well as erudite wisdom in
things pertaing to the heavenly and
divine, were travelling in stage coach
through rural part of England. In
passing on their way, busily engaged
in the recherche conversation which
would naturally arise, and be kept up
by two great minds thus brought in
close proximity, Fuller, with upturn-
ed eye through the window Of the
coach, espied ali owl perched on the
branch of tree by the roadside.
With twinkle in the eye, and a smil-
ing bland countenance, he exclaimed ::
"My dear brother, what beautiful
jay" the index finger pointing to the
bird on the tree.
Jay, in demure, thoughtful man
ner, surveyed the bird in his perch on
the tree, and replied:
"Brother Fuller, that's not a Jay, it
can't be jay; for it's Fuller in the
head, it's Fuller in the eyes, it's Fuller
all over"

For the EAGLE.
Presbytery Of Emp oria.

This Prcsbytery held its regular
spring meeting at Peabody Oh Thurs
day, April I'd. The opening sermon
was preached by the Rev. w. NJ.
Striker, of Eldorado, from the text,
John 3, Is. The Rev. J. K. Platter, of
Windfield, was chosen moderator, and
the Rev. w. NJ. Stryker temporary
clerk. The forty churches under the
the care of this body were represented
by ten ministers and eleven ruling eld-
ers. Eight new churches were added
to the roll. One of this number, the
United Presbyterian congregation Of
Rock Creek, had unanimously voted
TO transfer their relations to this branch
of the church. During the past year
fifteen churches have been enrolled
and seven new ministers have COM
menced their labors In this field, and 3
number more are expected.
The churches in Eureka. Qucmemio,
Chelsea and Wellington report inter-
esting revivals of religion. In the two
former the membership las been more
than doubled. The presbytery resolved
to raise the sum of $50 tor the board of
ministerial relief, and the churches
were directed to forward their con-
tributions to the Rev. w. NJ. STRIKER,
of Eldorado. The Rev. w. w. Curtie,
of Usage city, and Elder G. w. Camp
bell, of Peabody, were chosen delegates
to the general assembly which meets
next month in St. Louis.
On Friday evening the question,
GLOW shall we secure ageneral attend
ance upon the preaching of the word z"
was earnestly discussed. The follow
ing resolution was adopted, and the
pastors were directed to read the same
from their pulpits:
Resolrcd, That, in view Of the fact
"a that the boards of the church are
greatly in debt, and GU that but few Of
our churches have contributed to all
of the boards, that these churches be
admonished of their duty in this re-
spcct, and that all our pastors and
churches are enjoined to contribute
something to all the benevolent agen-
cics during the coming year.
a cordial vote of thanks was ten
dered to the citizens of Peabody for
their hospitality, and to the A., I. and
S. +. railroad for reduced rates to the
delegates: and the presbytery adj
journed &c meet in Hutchison on Sat-
urday, May 9th, at 1880 o'clock pm.

New Mexico.

the admission of New Mexico into the

interesting facts concerning that ter
ritory witch are not generally known.
New Mexico WIS acquired from Next

1850, il was constituted q territory.
with an area of 2l5,S07 square miles.
In August, 1854, the territory acquired
from Mexico by the Gladsden treaty
was annexed, making the total area
26l, Si2 square miles. In 1861, $4,000
square miles were set of to Colorado,
and in 1853. l26. l4l sQvare miles were
cut of and organized into the terrific

Iu New Jersey many years ago

his wife would check him thus:

"Now, William, let the girls alone

Pens for Pigs.

Farmers, in great majority Of cases,
have less pride in what they do for
swine than any other labor upon the
premises. First-class barns for horses
and cattle. convenient sheds, etc, for
sheep, are numerous, but it is rarity
to see nice, airy and really conven-
lent pig-sty. The reason Of this is
doubtless attributable to the general
idea that hog is filthy animal and
not fit to occupy decent place: but
the fact is, swine are made more filthy
than il is their nature to be by being
confined in UNIV olesomc and unclean-
ed pens.
A pen can be easily constructed so
that the floors of the different depart
ments may be kept dry and wholesome.
The floor should be tight, on little
decline, and kept Uttered with good
absorbents. In the construction Of
pens there is q general fault of having
them too low between joists, most of
them not being over five feet, when
there should be not less than seven, SO
that . man can stand erect in them.
We have seen expensive pens having
this fault, and the swine therein abse-
lutely neglected on account of the back
aching work Of cleaning the different
sections out.
Every sty should have q good yard at
one side, SO that the swine may be al
lowed to get ut the earth, but they
should not be allowed TO run therein
1T will, nor should the cleanings Of the
pen be thrown into the yard 10 be
mixed with the soil by the trampling
and roofing Of the hogs, for it is one Of
the most valuable msnurcs that can
be produced upon stock farm.
The mar who makes most money
from pork raising is the man who not
only is careful in the selection Of
breeds, but particularly careful to have
good commOdicus pens, and give the
swine ali the attention required TO
grow and lay on the fat rapidly. When
we see fattening hogs in rail pen.
with the earth for floor and the sky
for roof, our opinion is at once formed
as to the chances Of that farmer to
prosper, aud they are decidedly unfa-

CklahC mail he Indian Territory.


Two or three weeks since our views
were given touching the bill introduc-
ed in congress for the opening up to
settlement of the Indian territory. Our
idea was TO deal with probable results
In the event only of said bin becoming
. law. Expressions and many inqui-
rics from citizens of this an adjoining
counties has convinced Us that conclu-
sions have been arrived at differing
widely from those attempted TO be
conveyed in that article.
We do not believe now, nor did we
then. that the chances are ut all favora-
bic for the passage of the bill At any
time in the immediate future. BY
strong combination of interests it
might become a law in June or July,
vet the chances are against any such
radical change in the administration
of Indian affairs taking place at this
session of congress. The bill could
hardly go through the lower house
without amendment, which would be
equivalent to defeat Besides, as far
rs the chances for settlement in that
territory are concerned, or opening FOR
speculation, the present bill is practi-
cally n complete bar, even should il
ever become law. One Of its main
features is that Of allotment of land 10
individual Indians, or setting apart of
head right TO successfully consumate
which il wonld take many months, if
not years. But that is not all. II ex-
pressly provides that these allotments
shall be inalienablc for ten years after
they have been duly made and record
ed, that is, no Indian shall be allowed
TO sell his right in his land until after
ten years shall have expired; that any
deed or sale before that shall be void.
Now. when we take into consideration
the fact that the different tribes will in
this way hold about seven-tenths of all
the valuable lands Of the territory, and
into the consideration the poor
chances Of the bill ever becoming q
law, it can be readily seen that it is
extreme folly for any Sedgwick coun-
~ farmers to talk Of or calculate for
the present upon anything looking to-
wards removal to the Indian terrific
ry. The government is bound to guard
the interests of these Indians, and the
EAGLE will not fail to keep its readers
posted upon this as upon all subjects
In which we ms a people are interested.

The Need Of Kansas.

The Lawrence Journal, in the course
of an excellent, timely article, says:
For the last six years we have been
living to great extent on the money
paid out in our state for the building
of more than two thousand miles of
railroads. At cost Of only $40, 1000 a
mile, these roads represent an expen-
diture of $40,OO0,OO0 1t is true that
not all of this sum has been expended
in the state, but a large portion Of 1t
has. and it has kept money plenty and
times easy. Now railroad building has
ceased, and we must come right down
to the hard-pan Of production. We
need more corn, more wheat, moro
cattle, hogs, sheep, horses, mules; more
butter and cheese, and more products
of the soil generally. These are what
will bring money into the state. 1t

increased hundred millions if we had
nothing to sell. 1t is the having things
to sell, and selling them, that makes
money plenty When Kansas turns off

good chin should neither project nor
retreat. A retrcating chin denotes
weakness; projecting one, harsh

ness o soft, fat double chin, . love of
