Sedgwiok County Men Reported Lost.

Several well known men, living IN Waco
township, Brownback, Greggs, Bliss and
Greary. started out some Fifty days ago for a
buffalo and deer hunt. The party took teams
plenty OF feed, also food and clothing for
themselves, but as nothing has been heard OF
the party their wives and families are becom-
ing extremely anxious, SO much so that un less
something is heard to-day they intend 10
start party out to search. The party in
tended to make Medicine Lodge their head
quarters. leaving their feed and extra bag
gage at that point. We are inclined to think
that there is no cause for apprehension. 1t
has been SO stormy that much OF the time the
party, no doubt were compelled to stay in
camp, which would make their stay that
much longer. We hope to hear Of the safe
arrival of the party before another week.

The Presbyterian Church and Pastor.

The annual circular of the Firs Presbyte
p. Harsen, is before u.. In addition to the
names of the officers and members of the so
ciety, it contains, on the first page, the golden
text for 1871 'And be We kind, one toward
another, tender hearted, torgiviug one an
other, even as God, for Christ's sake hath
forgiven you " We note further by the cir
cular that the Church takes up eight collec.
tons annually for the following purposes
Foreign Missions, Education. Sustentation.
Publication, Church Erection. Ministerial
Relief, Home Missions and Freedmen. The
front page OF his circular Mr.. Harsen deyotes
timely that we quote
"Wben you come 10 the house of God. do
not SO dress that your poorer neighbor will
wish she had staid away. Remember, that in
this way the poor are virtually excluded
from hearing the gospel. Hand shaking is a
means OF grace. When you meet your breth-
rem and sisters, be sure to exchange greetings
with them, for the expression of feeling in
tensifies it. Each member of this Church is
hereby appointed a committee OF welcome, o
make the acquaintance of strangers and TO
make them feel at home in our fellowship. As
a Church we have given more the year past
than any previous year of our existence, and
we are none the poorer or weaker TOR SO do
ing. Churches some time, die, because they
do not give enough, but from giving too
much-never"

The Coal Shaft.

Mr.. Thomas McCampbell drops us the fol-
lowing note, which plains itself:
IN. NJ. MURDOCH Il have commenced
work on the coal shaft again, and il the people
OF Sedgwck, or other counties, will stand by
me in furnishing money, or anything that
can be used in sinking the shaft, / will find
Goa! il l have to go 1000 feet, and all money
TO be paid back in coal to the pant ties who
contributed, after the discovery Of coal.
"Yours, THOMAS MCCAMPBELL."
The question of cheap fuel is one of the
greatest Importance to the people OF this city
and county. Upon il hinges our future i'm
portance as manufacturing town. Few
realize the amount OF money annually sent
out Of this town for coal. 1t runs away up
among the thousands. The Mct,ampbell shaft
is already 240 feet deep; size 6x10 feet. For
the want OF means operations in it have been
suspended for some months. but now it seems
it is proposed to go on with it. Every cti-
zen in the county is interested in the test be-
ing made, and we are proud of NcCampbelPs
pluck. When he ceased operations a strong
current OF coal gas came up from the bottom
Of the shaft. That current has not diminished
but continues to bubble the wafer at the bot
tom-a strong sign OF coal.

For the EAGLE.
First National Bank Building as Court House.

WICHITA, KANSAS, January 6, 1877.
MIR. EDITOR Some of our most prudent
tax paying economists favor the purchase of
the First National Bank building for the use
Of the county us a court house and office
building. as it won be ample in each, with
two fire-p-oofvaults for the security of all
papers and records and part of the indsbt-
edness OF the bank TO the county thus Sc
cured. 1t is suggestion worth the due re-
Election of all the tax payers of the county.
TAX PAYER.
The above letter suggests an unthought of
idea, as far as we are concerned, but that the
suggestions are worthy some attention we are
inclined to believe. The vaults, safes. and so
forth, are very superior, the location as GEN.
trial as we could expect to have court house.
The only objection that suggested itself to
our minds was the smallness of the building.
True, in time, an addition could be built on
the north side and the whole upper floor be
thrown into court room, when SO built,
while doubling the room below would amply
accommodate the county officers; still there
might be objections, while upon the other
hand it might be very cheap and satisfactory
way of getting county building. We pub
lish the communication for what it is worth.
having perfect faith and confidence in the
wisdom of our county commissioners, who
would have to act upon any proposition.

of Lectures,

That the success OF the Library is assured,
and that as a result the people of Wichita will
be permitted to listen to several very fine lee.
lures This winter, there is no longer doubt.
To few gentlemen-a very few-are our peo-
pie indebted for the promising outlook of this
important movement, an enterprise in which
every parent in this city is, or should be.
deeply interested. With but few amusements
and even those Of doubtful character, and in
the absence of allpure!y intellectual pastimes
OF public character, there is now chance
TO render border life more endurable. The
next lecture will be on the evening of January
11th-next Wednesday-and will be delivered
by Hon. Dudley Haskell. Member of Congress

lecture is one which he has delivered several
times to large and fashion able audiences and
the title Of it is sold Shoes" Following him
will be Hon. INV. Reynolds with his "Nule."
In answer TO a letter addressed to him upon
the subject, he writes back to us as follows:

The Financial History Of ssdgwiek County.

John Tucker, Clerk of the county of Sedg-
wick, acting upon the idea that fer present
satisfaction to the tax payers, as also for a
matter OF convenient reference for all time 10
come, procured wide blank book properly
ruled and headed, in which to keep the fnan-
cia history ofthe county in a condensed and
tabulated form. The book shows the amounts
OF Itemized accounts of all officers fees and
salaries, expenses OF elections, courts, juries,
and in fact, every thing which involves ex-
penditure by the county. As the EAGLE
claimed some few weeks since that the pres
ent management of our county affairs, under
its present officers was mere economical than
by any set heretofore having control, we
scanned this book OF finance with a great de-
gree OF interest The county was organized
some time in 1870. For the balance OF that
year the entire expenses amounted to Sl,6lS.-
so. The most expensive year was 1874, the
season, in which our total county
expenditures reached the sum of S2S,5l2 GA.
The following table shows the gross amount
Of expenditures for all purposes from the or
sanization Of the county up to and including

By the Franklinville IN. " Argus we see
that Mr.. John HUFF. the father OF Wilbur
HUI, OF Salem township, IN this county, died
on Tuesday, December 10Th. Wilbur was
summoned by telegraph and reached the bed
side OF his father before his demise. He will
return in few days, bringing his mother and
youngest brother to Kansas. The Argus saws:
'Mr. HUFF was sixty years OF age, and had for
over forty years been a useful and consistent
member of ihe NJ. f. Church. During that
time he filed many Offices OF trust with great
acceptabiity. He was for years superin.
tendent Of Sabbath schools, for thirty-one
years class leader, and for nearly forty years a
steward, in all of which relations he sought
TO acquit himself as man and a christian.
The funeral service was held at This home on
Thursday, conducted by Rev. T. E. Clayton
his pastor, who was assisted by the ministers
of the other denominations IN town. The
body was oneeyed on Friday to Belfast the
place OF the former family residence, for in

is that there is no position harder to fill, to
