The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1879-05-15

II respects the prestige she now enjoys and
IL true to herself in utilizing the oppOrtuni-
| ties now presented to her in properly foster
ing these railroad developments. Then to
| you citizens OF Wichita l sOlemnly declare
| the connection of this available prosperity.
centering in Wichita. il on the 30th Of May
we vote the bonds that will secure the con-
structfon Of the east and west railroad, Civ
ing US direct connection with the coal and
lamber region of the southeast, and an outlet
for our agricultural productions to the Gull.
II, upon the contrary we, by opposition or
neglect shall defeat the immediate construe-
ton Of the road the doom Of Wichita Is seal
ed to the dwindled hamlet from which she
has SO suddenly sprung. The railroad devei-
Opments which she is now cireumventing are
either for her or against her. The securing
OF the Selligman road secures without fur
Their cost-as necessity to themseives-ai!
the rest. The losing Of that road is farewell
to Wichita and all the bright promises now
offered to her. 1t is for her own people to
determine on the Goth Of this month. On
that day comes directly home to the man
who has any thing to buy or any thing to sell
any labor to ask or any industry to sell
any property to own, to rent, or TO sell; any
profession to promote or trade to cherish.
Every individual interest OF the city except
the buyer of tax titles is directly called upon
on that day to determine by his vote whether
these interests and labor shall have future
value in Wichita. or whether they shall be-
come future dead weight and burthen upon
business. He is more than q thief who fails
to protect his own interest and household.
Shall this be said Of Wichita; or shall it be a
gala day of devotion to our every vital inter-
est. issuing in the new era of a brilliant flu
ture prosperity. Let us now see: Remem-
bering this. that without the enthusiastic
support Of every voter of Wichita it is day
Of unspeakable peril to this city.
Ed. EAGLE have been chosen by some
Of our citizens who are friendly to 4 cavalry
organization to try the strength Of Wichita
that l have talked to the Adjutant General
who promises to equip in good shape COM
pany if raised. 4 good cavalry company
this town would be proud of. / will do all
in my power to raise the company, and if
aided by the boys, we will succeed. So
leave your names as early as convenient.
Those from the country will please call ON
next Saturday. the 18th, at d. A. Mitchell's
Office. 1t will take but few days to get Il
fair estimate Of the strength Of our cavalry
men. A good cavalry makes good street
parade, and their parade is not only confined
to the narrow streets Of city, but we can
have the benefit of 4 trip to the country.
Each man is expected to furnish his own
horse. The suits can be obtained i'm the same
manner that our infantry got theirs. As
soon as enough men are in the company we
can proceed to elect our officers which will
presume be by the voice of the majority Of
the recruits. / have the promised support
of some veteran officers which think would
be best to have for leaders, having a good
schooling in military tactics. Fall in boys.
