EIGHT MILLIONS.

Wheat, three years ago, was Sedgwlck's 5
delight. For five years our acreage ran from
fifty To one hundred thousand aud thirty-hve
acres. But that love is OFF. Corn is now
king. From corn we get our bread. get our
meat. our sugar and molasses, and. but Tor
prohibition, our whisky. Corn is also cash

The attention of the papers in the State,
that excepted to the EAGLES statement Of
four weeks ago that there were fields oil
wheat in Sedgwickc unity which would yield
from fort" 10 fifty bushels to the acre. is called
TO the fact that W. +. Brewer, of Grant
township, ihreshed forty-seven acres OF
wheat last week, that averaged. machine
measure, for,y-nine bushels to the acre. As
all wheat, this season, runs from eight to
twelve bushels to the hundred machine meas
ure, overweight, it is safe to say that MIR.
Brewers wheat will weigh not less than fifty
three bushels TO the acre.

to us last week that such u school as is con-
templat. by our people, with no rents to

start, and that the board OF regents need
have no fear on that score. Fort Scott has,

Hon. Frank Doffiemyre is out in an an

Doffiemyre can rest assured, and that Is that
the people will endorse the last plank Of his
platform. No man eau be elected to the Leg.
islature from this county who takes any 9TH

GLUCOSE WORKS.

Wichita has secured works of two thous-
and bushels of corn per day capacity, fact
which interests every corn grower in the
county as well as every citizen of this city.
The main building entire, exclusive of bone
dust and other buildings and sheds, is $40
feet long, by l25 feet wide at the widest part.
The main front is 50x60 feet, four stories
high; the next extension 53xl0o, two sto-
ries high, the next projection 125x1oo, one
story high. The engine room is S6x5o feet.

NOT MUCH OF A TUG.

The 81. Loui- Post-Dispateh has got the
Kansas wheat crop up to 10000, 900 bushels.
That beats the most ford Kansas atstical
liar. We should like 10 see the Wichita EA-
GLE man take tug at those figures now
EmpOria te'cs.
You would, ehs Sedgwick county harvest
ed I.750. 900 bushels OF wheat, fact gathered
by the r, St DispateA from our columns, and
true too. There are 100 counties in Kansas
which, multiplied by the yield of sedgwick.
gives just la, 00o, 900 bushels OF wheat. The
only niistske made by the Post-DisPdteh was
in taking sedgwick for an average county,
when IL should have known, as everybody
else does, that it IL the leading county in the
State. The editor Of The 8ews can readily
see what atranseendently great State Kansas
would beif all her counties averaged up 10
Sedgwick. but then they don't, therefore the
blunder into which the Post Dispatch was
innocently led.

Hon. W. 4. Stanley was made the recipi-

He was offered position in the law depart
ment under the Secretary Of the Interior.
A few years of life in Washington. with all
its attractions, advantages, and possible pro-
motions. was hard TO resist. but Mr.. :. con
cluded after fully weighing the matter TO
decline. That be did wisely there is not q
question in our mind. There is not only
plenty OF chances and promising field here
for bright young man like Stanley Geld
broad and rich enough for any however
gitted-but he has already won BY his capac-
ity and industry honorable recognition and
such standing as will be worth more 10
him in the future than any places lac would
probably gain in Washington. Besides, the
Republican party has plenty OF work for him
at home. and the boys can't spare him.

table a copy Of the society's premium list for

creditable one. The pamphlet, which con-
sists of lightweight pages besides the cover,
contains an interesting Introductory, a his
tory of the society, the charter, the bylaws,
and rules and regulations. The premium
list seems very liberal one. II is proposed
to put copy of this list into every home in

SedgWick county To be the greatest and best
county in the State of Kansas. We have
another item that tends to show not only
what kind OF people we have but that the
claim was good. County Treasurer, John
Tucker, informs us that the State Treas
urers books last year showed that Sedgwick
county paid greater per cent OF her taxes
than any other county in the state, and he
has no doubt it will be the same again this
year Another thing, the delinquent tax
lit of SeIgwick county, is not half so large
as many Of the smaller and oldest counties,
which shows conclusiyely that we.are a
prosperous people.
