The Wheat Showing.

Since our last issue we have talked with u
great many of our farmers from all parts of
the county. We had put into shape the
names. statement and judgment Of each one,
but the taX-llst crowded it out. OF one thing
we are satisfied there will be fifty per cent.
more wheat shipped from Wichita this year
than ever before. Ii should have been hun
bred per cent. 10 give an idea of how fields
are turning out, we select at random, state
ments of few growers: w. A. Ransom's
field not worth cutting; Hon. VIM. Ross, Of
the NInnescah, quality good, yield twenty
bushels to the acre; Col. jenkins, Col Joce-
Ign, G. +. Hargis. large growers, each from
10 TO % bushels TO the acre, fully one-half of
which will grade ,. e. r. Miller and Senator
John Kelly, some excellent some poor, yield
varying from IL to is bushels, varieties-May
and Walker; Frank Slower. 13j acres Of
Lima wheat, full three thousand bushels !;
Major Dunning, twenty-five bushels to the
acre, No. 2; Trickey Bros. IS bushels to the
acre, quality good j. MeBee, % bushels to
the acre, quality good to prime; Gree nlee,
Tuils and Buck ston not to exceed fro m to 8
bushels, quality poor; Matthews, ID bushels,
number =; Rhodes poor-not worth cutting;
]. b. York, 10 TO u bushels, fair quality !;
Horace Carpenter 20 acres splendid, 20 acres
middlng, 20 acres not worth cutting. We
have some reports that reach 30 and So bush
els TO the acre, but prefer to wait and hear
again. Upon the whole we set down wheat
which promised four weeks ago to so over an
average. at abont two-;hirds of all average,
or say about zoe 200 bushels for the county.

EDITOR EAGLE Permit me to notice
through your columns the death OF an ines
Unable neighbor and prominent citizen, Ar
chibald McYicar. MIR. NJ. was forty-one
years of age, was born in Canada, from
whence he emigrated to Kansas and seven
years ago last April cast his lot with the early
settlers OF the Arkansas Valley. Those seven
years have been years Of cheerful toll devoted
to the opening up OF farm in our midst, and
diligently watching the comforts and caring
for the wants OF his large family. only few
DAYS before his death he left the harvest field
for his sick bed. Last winter he suffered
from siege of lung fever, relapse OF which
caused his rather sudden death. He died on
the Sd inst, and on the 4th large gathering
OF friends and relatives followed his remains
to their last resting place. Deceased leaves a
wife and eight children who have the SYM
pathies OF many friends and neighbors in

Two Serious Mishaps.

On the morning of the Fourth A. A. Lamb.
the above hotel, were driving a pair Of young
horses attached to a buggy. down Main
street, when nearly in front OF the county
building the team SHE'D and bit TO one OF
the brides gave way and the team started to
run, bringing UP against PAIR OF hay scales.
Mr. Lamb attempted to jump out just as the
vehicle was checking up, lighting awkwardly
or on a twist. His ankle bone was broken
and the joint injured. Dumont, in attempt
ing to catch Lamb, was thrown out also, the
carriage passing over his arm and breast and
otherwise bruising him. DR.. Stipp, who was
present, had Mr.. LAMB carried into Aliens
drug store and from thence back to the hotel.
where, assisted by DR.. McAdams, the limb
was put into shape, and under the care OF
which two he has been doing as well as could
be expected
On Saturday Mr.. Enoch Marsh took his
two little girls, aged respectively twelve and
seven, into his wagon and drove up north Of
town half mile to cut some grass. Leaving
the children in the wagon he proceeded with
TO get on one of the horses, which frightened
the team, starting it upon dead run. Ole
was thrown beneath the feet of the running
animals, her arm broken in two places be-
tween the elbow and wrist, and her clothes
nearly torn from her person. The horses are
powerful animals, and as they crossed the
railroad in 4 full run, the wagon and bed re-
bounded ten feet or more from the high rails,
but, strange to say. the other little girl. who
was still in the wagon, was not thrown out.
The accident occurred near the residence OF
the writer, who witnessed the mishap. The
horses becoming eniangled in their harness
were brought TO stop, when We, with Mr..
Thomas Sargent, went TO the assistance OF
the father, who had come up to the wreck.
The little girl in the wagon was more scared
than hurt, but not so the brave little Ole,
who came walking down the road very pale
and sick aid sustaining her broken arm
with the sound one as best she could. The
father carried his suffering child to the home
OF DR.. Fabrigue who, assisted by DR.. Hen
erickson, fixed her arm and made her as
comfortable as possible, since which she has
done we'll.

Got III. B.lly.eh. Bad.

Our Democratic neighbor, the Beacon, an
noanced to its readers last week that it had
presented bill to the County Commissioners
who had refused to pay, and that it would go
for them. or words to that effect. The sore
headed threat is inside good In its issue of yes
terday. The sad-eyed, weak-voiced city or
gan Just stands on its car and bites its own
back, it's so mad. The Commissioners are
annihilated, the EAGLE plucked and swallow
ed raw without benefit OF clergy and its last
tail feather left adriit in lmitless space. The
higher the monkey climbs the palmer he
shows his tail. The world seems graveyard
with the city organ left alone to make up the
funeral procession.
lCandidly, such an exhibition of boyish pet
tishness as is made by our contemporary would
be amusing were it not disgusting. What
cares the public for the mere private affairs of
individuals. When through the want OF
good faith upon the part OF the Beacon two
years ago, the EAGLE was compelled to do the
county legal printing for an entire year for
nothing. at loss Of quite sum, did anybody
hear any squeallng from the EAGLE? Not
much. Is anyone simple enough to suppose
that when the Beacon for months was loaded
to the muzzle with personal abuse of the cd
itor OF this paper that be or the EAGLE was
detrimentally effected. Hardly. If our CO.
temporary finds such matter profitable, or
that it Is enjoyed by its readers, it has our
consent to load every issue to the guards
with it. AS TO the County Commissioners,
they are all square, upright, honorable men,
known to be such by the people Of the coun-
ty, and whom no newspaper abuse can sink.
They have rot defrauded our contemporary,
nor would they. They have acted upon their
best judgment for the interests OF the county
in everything, and the records will show that
they have acted wisely. They never paid the
EAGLE a cent more than it could have col
lected under the law. As 10 the particular
case, about which the Beacon is putting on
such airs and making such pitiful mouth,
the Commissioners had two court decisions
made this spring covering the precise ground
and they could MT have COTTON out Of the pay
ment had they so desired. In all their lawful
and honorable actions the EAGLE will defend
them, as it will any one wrongfuly accused.
But for the injustice done these gentlemen we
would not have SO much as noticed the boohoo
set up by that pale etfulgence, the city organ.
As 10 the EAGLE it needs no defense, and
whatsoever don't like il can fight it or let it
alone. 1t has more friends and more readers
than any paper. south and west OF Kansas
City, in the State. It owes no man dollar
that it cannot pay in two minutes. 1t can.
outside Of any federal or party patronage, or
without the city printing, do the county
printing for nothing, and live and flourish,

the people together and introduced Miss

Lecturer of the State Grange, and editor of
the Spirit Of Kansas, who was orator of the
day, and the way he pitched into the farmers

outsider. His principal theme was eo-opera-
