STEERAGE

The most commendable PROPOSE
ton we have yet seen in con-
nection with the Centennial, says
the Alta, is that which indicates
the intention to call together as
many of the soldiers of the late
war next year during the Centen-
NAL ceremonies as possible, with
their leading Generals, Union and
Confederate, and thus show to
the world that we are again a
united people, the Ratchet buried,
and the memories ola hundred
years ago met and cherished as a
common heritage. We hope that
this movement may prove effec-
tive. Let the history of the sui
'ferings, the toll, the. hopes OF the
Revolution bury all the sad me-
mories, and particularly the ANITA
genisms of the late contest, be-
meath them, and as far as oblivion
may be invoked. let its dead wa
tiers cover from our sight and
memory all the sad events of that
dreary time, and our people start
on a new course of empire.

Particulars of Chavez Raid.

From the San Bernardino Times, 18th |
To MIR. Mowray we are indebted
for fuller particulars of the Chavez
robbery, to which we alluded in
our last issue:
Mr.. MOwray is running an ex-
press wagon between this place
and Panamint, carrying freight
and passengers. 1t appears from
what Chavez said that a rumOr
had reached him that there was
one passenger coming who had
$4,000 in his possession and it was
with the design of getting this
booty that he made the attack on
Willow Springs station. 1t was
on Friday, the 5th inst, that
Chavez, with his gang, took the
station They bound the keeper,
Mr. Riley, and laid iu wait for
the coming Of M9wTay. Mr.. NJ.
was delayed from some cause and
did not make his usual time, and
Chavez's gang kept possession Of
the station until F0uGev p she
meantime Mr.. Ducrow came along
with a fOur-horse team, and they
forced him to lay over, to pre-
vent Intelligence reaching Mr..
Mowray. Two foot travellers and
an Indian also came along and
were forced to lay over. From
one of the foot travellers they took
$50 and returned him S., from the
other they took $45 and returned
him So on the Indian they found
SIS leaving him nothing. On
Monday they left the station tax
ing Mr.. Ducrow's horses, and
shortly after met Mr.. Mowrey
about ten miles south of the sta
ton, whom they commanded to
halt and throw up his hands. He
asked them what they wanted
and they told him his money.
They then told him to get down
from the wagon and went through
him taking from his person S128. :
25, Mr.. Mowray said it was rough
on a man to take all he had to
which Chavez replied that he was
only borrowing and would return
it when he got flush. He return
ed him then 81 IS with the re-
mark "I guess l will have to
take your team" Mr.. M. said
"dOn't take my horses boys.

For the EAGLE:
Relief Question, Etc. --From Deiano
Township.

I feel very sorry that Farmer X
does not know how 10 answer those
letters from Morgan. Illinois. | hope
he has not answered them without
ascertaining the truth. According to
his statement, he does not know any
thing about the suffering caused by
the grasshoppers in Kansas. The only
way he can answer those two letters
truthfully is first to go and visit the
settlers personally in Sedgwick coun-
ty, west of the sixth principal merid-
ian. He will then be at no loss
how to answer those letters.
He thinks that some parties in Sedg-
wick county care receiving more aid
than they deserve" 1t is better that
six persons receive aid that do not
need it, than one family.shouid starve.
But we should guard as much as pos
sible against imposition. If he had
personally visited, as l have, the suf-
fercrs, he would be satisfied that be-
fore winter is over q larger number
will be added to the aid list, than at
present, and not imposters either. He
states that our grangers lean afford
fcasts, they are not in need of aid. :"
This reflection falls to the ground be-
fore facts, which are that the granger
feasts were gotten up by farmers that
do not receive or need aid and as pub
lie invitation to those that did. l
think they are to be praised for invit-
ing the hungry to eat with them, one
good square meal, at least they should
not be condemned for such charitable
acts. Farmer X. thinks he will "yet
merit forgiveness for saying that corn
could be raised at fifteen cents per
bushel." do not think that there is
single farmer in southwestern Kan
sas that will concede this. We do not
know, nor do we care, what it costs in
other states to raise corn, but VIC do
know the cost OF raising corn in Sedg-
wick county. l think he had better
not say any more about fifteen cent
corn, unless he has some to sell now !;
if SO we should like to buy from him,
and would besides pay him for crib
bling it, too. If Farmer X. is unwil-
ling to help the cause Of the suffering,
he should at least refrain from at
tempts to discourage others that are
willing, and before he condemns it
again, if SO minded, 1 hope he will
take occasion to visit the settlers in
the western part of the county for q
few days, as l have done. That will
satisfy him l think.
