In the Sweet By-and-By

Cannot but be the happy thought as the for
tunate recipient Of the s'Rocky Mountain
Tourist scans its wonderfully attractive
pages and peruses its fascinating descriptions.
Most beautifully embellished with new and
highly artistic engravings, its lctter-press a
model OF typographical richness, and the ar
rangement throughout simply superb, the

the remarkable ruins, the springs, the mines,
and, in short, to every point ofinterest to
tourist, agriculturist, capitalist, miner and

Guide keeps fitting company, and the two
publications are mailed free to all writing for

The county has secured a place for her
county officers, papers and books, by the pur-
chas e OF the late National Bank building, and
rents are at an end. The building is a splen-
did one: solid, centrally located and wertb
very much more than was paid for it. The
investment was wise one from reral other
cons deraiions. Its style and location will
warrant Z good price when the county gets
ready to build a permanent building. 1t has
splendid hre-proof vaults, and no more unea-

How We Arc Making v.lusble homes.

1t gives US peculiar pleasure to make record
Of permanent improvements within our
county, especially Of such as tell Of future
valuable farms encompassing inviting homes.
Many business men of Wichita have caught
the spirit OF making homes in the country, to
which, after while they can retire to enjoy
its profits and fruits. In this particular we
have discovered some little emulation, while
ii is well known fact that many citizens OF
Wichita have made snug sums of money out
OF their wheat crops, We incidentally asked
o. c. Daisy, well known in eur city, how his
little farm, out in Illinois township that he
told US all about two years ago, was getting
on. His answer, while 1t surprised us, shows
what young man, without family even can
accomplish. He says he has four miles Of
hedge that viii turn all description of stock.
The stand was SO perfect that cut Of $4,000
plants set only eighty-seven failed to grow.
The place Is ornamented and protected with
four miles of rIapie trees, standing ten feet
apart ard growing luxuriantly, besides four
avenues, eadng from the house, are lined
upon either side with maple and other dige
nous trees; $500 fruit trees; one and one-half
acres OF grapes; comfortable house and
barn, aud cribs, and coops. ell well finished;
and one hundred and thirty rcres OF wheat that
promises anywhere from twenty to thirty
bushels to the acre. A nelghbor of Daisy's,
S. J.. Pope, another young man, has seven
miles OF hedge equally as good, and other
things in proportion. ledng man, contem-
plate the picture. Jest figure up what such
places viii be worth Ia a very few years
Where aI,Pc,-s the triumphs OF the mediocre
professional, or clerk, or bookkeeper, in COM
parison, with such results. These are only
enc or two out OF the dozens OF places daily
growing into valuable homes and profitable
farms from what was wild prairie four and
five years ago.
''Iet us, then, be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
Stll achieving, still pursuing,
Learn TO labor and TO wait

The Mystery Explained.

The mystery is explained. We have oiten
wondered how the benishted ROSTERS at
Wichita got 4 living. We have been at 4 loss
to account for the continued existence of the
animated Murdocks, the oiiagenous Steele,
and the uHctious Gridenslein. Bat it was for
. county editor. somewhere in Kansas, to ex-
plain the matter. Tho EAGLE calls him the
pig-eyed idiot OF the Beloit Gazette. We viii
look on the map when We gel time and find
out where the ''upper Solomon Valley is,
that has done all this kindasss to Our Wichita
friends. At present the ''upper Solomon
Valley must be content with oar feeble
thanks. We feel great interest in the sal
vaiion OF the Wichita boys. "-Emporia Neses.
Don't fret your righteous soul. Mr.. Nel0s,
over the salvation OF the Wichita boys. Wlch-
ita can not only take care of herself, but find
plenty of time to stir up her narrowguage
and bob-tail ncighbors. Anyhow. the editor
of tine Gazette says lie has cooled down and
signed the pleGge-that no longer will mis-
heart ache tor blood or his paper be so
spoancy.

Mr.. EDITOR In re ference TO my article in
last weeks paper, AN glad to have the op-
poTtunity of correcting the impression grow
ing out of ii, that Major Dunaing and Richard
cogdell or either OF them had any thing what
ever 10 do with furnishing the false informa-
ton referred TO in that article by me. And
while lam perfectly willing TO oxonerate them
l am just as willing that it shall stiff rest on
the party to whom it belongs. Mr.. Dunning
and Mr.. Cogde hold in hish esteem, and
while believe they would net hesitate to
perform their whole duty, am equally sure
they would not stoop to inisrepresent the
truth in order to wrong any one.

An important enterprise for Wichita, and
one The feasibility and proitabIeness OF which
we have often set forth, is again talked of.
Colonel ii. w. Lewis has received letters
from friends Of his in Mississippi, who will be
here in few days to determine the feasibility
of beef packing at this point,-for the slaugh-
tering and shipping of fresh meats in resrger-
atipg cars. In short time the largest per
cent. oil meats designed for eastern markets
will be transported in this manner. All
shrinkage is by this method avoided, while
the meat is more wholesome, and better in
every particular. No point in the west offers
the natural Inducements for such an enter
prise as does Wichita.

Last week we reproduced an item from the
Sumner County Press which stated that Com
missioner j. A. Nelson had given it as his
opinion that the coal discovery in Sumner
was valuable, etc. Mr.. Nelson, in the first
place, did not say that valuable vein lay
near the surface, but on the contrary he
thought the existente Of coal in that locality
extremely predetermined, and IN the next
place Mr.. Nelson is not now nor ever was an
experienced miner. The entire article was q
mistake and did injustice to Mr.. Nelson.

Ne tongue can tell, no words express,
Fen halt the JOY thy message gives.
Loves potent spell now confess;
Look kindly. dear, on him who lives
Inspired alone by thoughts of thee,
Enthraled by thy sweet witchery.
Nay heayn's choicest gifts be thine,
And lie's brief journdy free from care;

Such trust ennobos and Is rare.

And look for future happiness
Love gives me joys that ne'er abate,
Lingering joys that comfort and bless.
