WICHITA MEN AND INSTITUTIONS.

The editor Of the Newton Republican, who
spent day in our city last week, contribute,
the following commendatory notes of some
Of Wichita's institutions:
While in Wichita on Saturday last we made
il a duty to call on our old friend Morri.
kohn, the merchant prince Of that city. A.
usual we found MIR. Kohn in his store up 10
his eyes in trade and as smiling and affabe
rs ever. lie has perhaps the most extensive
dry goods store in the Arkansas Valley, and
always keeps his custom by square dealing
by any competition.
We also met our big hearted friend Capt.
John NJ. Steele, and are pleased TO say that
he is in the enjoyment of good health and
spirits. lie was making arrangements to re-
move to New Mexico to take charge of the
landed interests of the Santa Fe railroad
company in that territory. of which he has
been appointed land commissioner. Capt.
Steele will be missed in Wichita, as he has
been pillar of great strength in the build
ing up of that city. We wish him abundant
success in his new calling.
The Occidental Hotel, having been thor
oughly remodeled, renovated and refurnish-
ed, is open 10 the travelling public as n first
class house, aud having examined the house
and tested its merits we can certify that il il
now what it claims to be--a first-class hotel.
II Is managed by caterers Of known mcri:
and character. aud no reasonable guest who
tries il can 20 away dissatisfied.
We found the fremont Hotel full of guests,
and without an exception they all claimed
that the fremont gave them full justice and
satisfaction. 1t is kept by Mcssrs. Keller a.
Young. who know the wants of the travelling
public and how to run u good hotel. We al
SO commend the fremont TO public conf
deucc.
We are pleased to say that both the EAGLE
and Beacon printing Offices are among the
very best offices in the State, and are both
doing healthy and paying business. The
EAGLE is adding a first-class book bindcry to
its job rooms and will soon have il i'm run
ming order. We wish both offices the best
OF success.
Wichita is u substantial city, and what is
more il contains many citizens who we know
to be natural born gentlemen. II Wichita
does not become the great metropolis of
western Kansas it will be because it is too
near Newton

SPRING CREEK wAvEL ITs.

To the Editor efthe Eagle.
Christmas festivals are over. Good old
Santa Claus generously remembered Spring
Creek and made us all happy.
Frozen ears, toes and noses, are getting
quite common. Mr.. Cantril frOze his ears
quite severely some time since. He now
wears mittcns on them. MIR. Whaley, Thos.
Hough, J. Law and your servant have suffer-
ed likewise.
DIR. Tucker performed very painful surgi-
cal operation on Mr.. John Dalan's shoulder
shoulder good many years ago, but it had
healed and he had anticipated no more trouble
with it. DIR. Tucker says it might have
proven fatal had he been called a little later.
A very serious kind of sore throat is very
prevalent on the Creek. 1t begins with n
slight cold, comes very sudden, and is very
painful. 1t seldom lasts more than three or
four days. but few escaped.
A little child died in Ell Paso last Tuesday.
The FL Paso Literary is making rapid strides

erary paper is read every week containing
''fun alive" and spicy exaggerations.
A series Of religious NEE tings are progress
ing at the Stafford school house under the

est is being awakened already aud appear
ances indicate that the church's ambition to
get goodly number of converts will be
gratified.
4 small but ight-hearted company of young
folks met at the residence of Mr.. Morton's
last "Wednesday evening and spent u few
hours most delightfully."- in social chat and
frclic. Our host and hostess Mr. aud Mrs
Norton, and their three charming and en-
gaging daughters, Jennie, Amy and Ida,

Inequalities, also our best wishes for their
