SEDGwICK AND SUMNER COUNTIES ENTHusl
WITH lis

WITH lS
Tuesday was day long to be remembered
by our citizens. Long before the time adyer
tised for the arrival of the excursion tram,
the ground around the depot was crowded
with Conveys people waiting to welcome the
people of Sedgwick and Sumner who were
coming to celebrate with us the completion
OF our first railroad. The city officials were
there marshaling their committees TO take
charge of the ladies', every available vehicle
in town being pressed into service TO accom-
modate them. All were on the tip-toe Of
expectation when the news flashed over the
wires that the tram had passed Mulvane and
that there were four hundred ladies and
twelve hundred men on board, with the We'll
lington train just behind with as many more.
Then it was that our people realized the full
extent OF the inundation about to take place
Arrangements had been made TO accommo-
date about five hundred people, but when
they began to drop down on us one and two
thousand at a time all these arrangements
were upset. and majority of the people had
to get off the train and make their way to
town the best way they could. The process
sion was formed at the depot. headed by the
Wichita Guards and the Wichita Fire Com
pany, followed by carriage containing the
orator Of the day, then the city authorities of
Wichita, Wellington and Winfield, followed
by the Wichita cornet band and ladies in
carriages. The procession was fully mile
long. At the grounds Judge Mcdonald de-
livcred speech of welcome, which was high
~ spoken of by all who heard it and fully
sustained the high reputation which he has
won as an orator. After the speech the
crowd dispersed for dinner. A table had
been prepared for the militia and fire compa-
ny. and the crowd repaired to the barbecue,
where there was plenty for all. After dinner
there was grand drill by the Wichita Guards
under Captain Woodcoek. who acquitted
themselves nobly. The dance in the evening
for the benefit Of our visitors(. was well at
tended. a good many OF the Wichita people
being present by virtue of an invitation by
the ball committee that their uniforms. would
be their passports" but which proved to be
preteXt for making dollar apiece out of
them. With the exception Of the ball. and
the change in the time ofthe Ccwley county
excursion train, everything passed of pleas
antly. We are sorry that our space does not
permit OF more extended account OF all that
transpired. The crowd from Wichits and
Wellington WAS estimated at four thousand.

pared TO behold with indifference an

prevent similar cheats hereafter.
Should such q course be adventur-

seek for the s'peace and rest of free

AT the meeting held on Monday, in
this town, for the purpose of oiganiz-
ing an Audrain County Immigration
Society, the opinion was expressed
by a majority of those that addressed
the assembly that it was essential
that something should be done to re-
move from the minds of persons dis
posed to come West the false impress
sions tat had been made by certain
papers published in this state. 1t is
too bad that many have been and are
still prevented by press-misstatements
not only from settling in our midst,
but even from stopping temporarily
to make inquiry into the inducements
offered them by the conditions OF
our society and real estate.
What we wish to say in regard to
this matter is that the newspapers
which have been guilty Of such coun-
duct are unworthy of either conte-
nance or support, and we appeal to
citizens interested in the welfare of
the communities in which they re-
side, no matter to what political or
CARNATIONS such papers belong, vheth-
err they claim to be Democratic, Re-
publican or Greenback, to withhold
all manner of patronage from them.
ALI are interested in developing the
state and all without exception will
be benefited by its progress, and all
candid persons must admit that tn.
time has long past since mere party
difference was sufficient to seperate
neighbors.
From time to time there have been
m~isstatements, exagerations and ter
giversations on the part of certain
papers that could he named that were
wholly due to disappointment, vim
dictiveness and a rule or ruin spirit
INDUCED without regard to facts or
consequences. There have been
false statements in regard to the mo-
tives Of offenders and misrepresenta-
tons as to the disposition of society
to shield them. No doubt such
publications were designed wholly
for readers at home, but they seem to
have been widely caught up by the
partisan papers Of other states de-
string to interfere with immigration.
Minor errors have been also commit
ted, for party purposes. The condition
of industry has been misrepresented
until such an universal picture OF
financial misfortune and impover-
ishment has been drawn that parties
ignorant of the true state Of affairs IN
u midst and putting faith in what
was published could not but conclude
that their welfare would be best pro-
NOTED by going to some other state.
Our citizens can control this mat
ter. Let them follow the advice
given and these manifest outrages
will soon be brought to an end.

About 8 O'Clock last Tuesday eve.
ming Philip Kramer, Jr discovered
the engine room of the Farmers Gus
tom flour mill, situated on Sixth
street, GEAR Missouri avenue, on fire.
He alarmed the neighborhood, but
before any service could be rendered
the entire structure, which was q two
story frame building, was enveloped
in flames. So rapidly did the blaze,
which was famed by . strong west
wind, extend through the mill, that
efforts to rescue any portion of its
contents proved Intellectual.
The building and machinery, which
are a total loss, were owned by j. w.
Carson, Of Mexico, Mo, from whom
it wa rented by A. Vandevender, an
enterprising and industrious citizen
Of East st. Louis. Monday he had
on hand 140 barrels Of -four, 700
bushels of cora and $50 bushels oil
wheat. all Of which were destroyed.
The wheat was sold last week to Mau-
rice Hetzel, the proprietor of the
brick -four mill, but whether Mr. Het-
eel, who was to have the wheat hauled
himself, has to suffer the loss, Mr.,
Vandeyender did not know Tuesday
evening. The loss ON the building
and machinery Ii estimated at %, 900.

THE MESSAGE.

The Presidents Message is quite
short, and without the concluding
sentence might have been unobjec-
tionable. That remarkable portion
is as follows:
"Regretting the existence OF an
emergency, which requires a special
session of Congress, at a time when
it is the general judgment of the coun-
try that the public welfare will be
best promoted by permanency in our
legislation, and peace and rest, /
recommend these few necessary
measures to your ~considerate atten-
ton"
Where, we should like to know,
are the evidences that this nation de-
sires that the partisan enactments Of
the Republican party should stand
unrepealed7 Who, but a politician,
could assert after the late elections,
that the votes then cast for Demo
cratic representatives did not express
dissatisfaction with Republican mis-
rule and demand change in the poll
cy Of the nation, Or that if such al
teration wal contemplated by the
people as advisable in December, any
good reason existed for not carrying
it into execution In March. The
President, If honest in his expires.
sions, has deceived himself and would
deceive the people. There is moth
ing better ascertained than that tbs
nation does not sfavor laws that pre-
vent the summoning OF impartial ju
rors, neither does it desire to see ma
turalized or other citizens deprived
OF their right of suffrage by supper
visors or m~arshals, or through th'

Union, either Republican or Demo
cratic, that admits its inability Il
