he hiwselfis Mahdi, or the new prophet
Of Islam. The celebration Of the mystic

THE ASSESSMENT.

The assessment still continues the subject
uppermost in the minds many taxpayers
and its discussion is carried on everywhere
and without erd. We believe the EAGLE
has given fair and iull statements OF the sc-
ton and the presumable results. Still we
are almost daily questioned with regard to
the matter. One prominent merchant who
gave In his stock AT its invoice figures said
10 us Saturday last that he feared that he
had made II mistake, hut be hardly knew
how 10 determine the problem. We made
him this answer and we make il TO all others
aud it is the only satisfactory one We can
think of: THE gross amount of taxes to
be raised by Sedgwick county the coming
year can be no greater than that of last year
therefore taxpayers who have no more
property than they had a year ago should
not be compelled TO pay larger sum than
they then paved in gross. if they are they
can decide at once that iie new system is a
hardship. In other words when the county
DO I'D shall have determined the per cent. OF
the levy, figure up the sum total you will
have to pay and then compare it with your
last years tax receipts upon the same prop
erty. II there is any material difference
and the assessor did his full duty last
year then the new rule will be truly proven
n hardship.

4 YrRI.

A vigorous alarm OF FIRE was sounded just
Of the fire bell was augmented by several
whistles and bells and In few minutes two
or three thousand people were at the scene
| OF destruction. The fire seems to have orig
mated in q livery stable owned by NJ. +.
Barnes. on the south side of Douglas Avenue.
A brisk breeze was blowing and the fire
spread 10 an adjoining one-story frame occu-
pied rs barber shop and restaurant, next
to the Union Hotel kept by n Mr. White,
who had sold out his interest two
hours previous, the purchaser hav ing
| taken the train for his home in Missouri,
few moments previous to the alarm. The
hotel building, two-story frame, belonged
to Mrs. W. d. Russell, but was in litigation.
The insurance had run out about three weeks
ago, and her offer 10 renew was rejected.
Considerable clothing and some furniture
was burned in the hotel. The next building
was the blacksmith and wagon shop of Nc
Grit Buckridge, insured we believe, but
the stock and tools were burned, Us also the
tools Of Mr.. Cooper. East OF the shop was
the livery stable of y. r. jackson which was
burned after nearly everything of value had
been taken out. The stocks of two nurseric,
being held for delivery, were in the same
block and contiguous to the fire. Mr.. Nixon
Elliott, it il stated, had $1,000 in fruit trees
ruined, and the Fort Scott Nursery a large
amount. But We can't youch for these esti-
mates. Guy McCandlcss was running the
livery stable in which the fire originated.
The well-directed efforts of citizens saved
the north side of the street and much other
property. A little boy was quite severely
hurt by falling chimney. A woman at the
Union uotel would have lost her life but for
the presence Of mind of j. NJ. Steele who
rushed up through the smoke and fire and
got her safely out.
Now look out for more fires right away, as
these disasters always go in waves.

TIE BOYS OF THE BLUE.

Garfield Post of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, of Wichita, had a grand muster
one night last week. Enthusiasm ran high
and Chaplain Woodcock was at his best as
were the other officers. General Eggleston
the only real live general in this section, was
initiated, and the boys in their songs and
minds followed Sherman TO the sea, Grant
through the horrors OF the Wilderness, and
ran the blockade at Vicksburg. Judge Ad-
vocaie Lang, Of Caldwell and that old vet.
eraH Clutch" of Caldwell, honored the
ground up" with their presence Twenty
odd names were added to the Posts roll and
many more applications received. Around
the campfire ut the close OF the scrmmage
the veterans were served by two Ben Butler
contrabands OF war to sow belly, hard tack,
coffee and beans, and midnight found the
jolly crowd breaking ranks for their home
biyouacs. We congratulate Col. Stewart,
Post Commander. on his eminent success in
the organization of strong and fiourishing

TIE PROMPT FRISCO.

There is one point in favor OF the st. Louis
Frisco Railroad, an advantage that has
already been dropped on most satisfactorily
BY our merchants, aud that is the prompt
ness of its freight liaes and trains. When \
merchant or manufacturer receives a letter
containing shipping bill Of this road he eau
count on his goods following on the next
freight train. A letter received in the even
ing is generally followed by the goods next
day. Many OF our merchants have spoken to
us Of this Is being great and satisfactory
advantage which, we have no doubt, IL is.
Goods, by tin way of Kansas City, owing to
complex system of handling, are often de.
layed days, and even weeks, in some in
stances. The Frisco seems to be growing in
the estimation Of our people, aud some day
we predict thnt Wichita will be the pet and
boss town OF that corporation.

To the Editor Of tie Eagle:
For some time have been perusing the
columns OF your valuable paper, not only
welcome TO me but 10 other members Of my
family. We enjoy particularly reading OF
the future prospects Of your beautiful country
especially OF the valley of the Ark nsas, the
most beautiful landscape my eyes ever rest
ed upon. Standing, as did several times,
upon the rise Of ground east Of your city In
early morn and at dewy eve, never did any
eyes rest upon more grand sight. The city
with its lofty spires and beautiful school
houses of m dern style, its humming mills,
and the busy throng around them, all tell OF
the enterprise and drive ahead Of it's business
men. No wonder we look with eager eyes
for the EAGLE which soars away to describe
the wonders aud thrift OF country which il
not. as yet, half developed, and sinks down
and gives up the task in despair.
Enough OF the above. Enclosed you will
find renewal of my subscription. Yours.
