Judge w. c. Little has been appointed Re-
ceiver of the late National Bank, rice Cullum
resigned. Judge L. received his commission
Monday. The appointment is most excel
lent one. No man, for integrity of character
and for official honesty, stands higher III this
country than Judge Little, and there is
trust his entire wealth to his keeping.
Jno. A. Anderson. President of the State
Agricultural College, has written to Mr.. Har-
sen promising TO come to Wichita some time
this spring and give our Association lee
ture. Anderson is not only grand but lively
eloquent but witty, man that easily enter
tains any audience however intellectual. As
an orator he is second to no man in the west,
regular Bob Ingersoll, minus Bob's pro-
family.
The E!dorado Times points with pride to
man in Butler county who arrived there with
forty-one cents and large family as his sole
earthly possessions. Now he owns 100 acres
OF land, with 100 acres of it in wheat, and is
on the road to prosperity.
We know man in Butler county who came
to Kansas many years ago and did not have
torty-one cents and has not succeeded in get
ting that amount since.
Talking OF Old Settlers there are three men
in the EAGLE Office who will soon come under
that head, namely, Thomas Holmes, John A.
Wallace and Selah S. King. The first Of these
gentlemen has been employed continuously
in the EAGLE office about six years, the
second, nearly four years. and the third over
three years. Mr.. Wallace has in that time
lost but two days. With such meE Its no
wonder that the EAGLE has never missed an
issue or failed to be on time.
General Phil. Sheridan, accompanied by |
Gen. Crook, the commander Of the Black |
Hills region, and Gen. Whipple and Col |
Grant OF his own staff, arrived in Wichita |
last Thursday morning. These officers we're |
from a tour OF inspection of the
military posts In the western part of the Ter
ritory. These distinguished officers spent the
day here and were called upon by many OF
our citizens. Capt Will White of the Beacon
who was an officer under Gen Crook, great
ly enjoyed an hour spent with his General in
accounting stirring scenes and fighting over
their old battles.

rom starvation, attempted or threatened to
