daughter OF our fellow-townsman, Mr.. NJ. Z.
: Barnes, with her three children, arrived last
week for few weeks enjoyment of the
health-giving zephyrs OF this sunlit valley OF
unboundcd horizon aud green rolling swells.
Since their arrival grand pa Barnes house on

three miles north of the city, visit. Mr.. T..

business and his health. He will be in this

o. Martinson prides himself on raising fine
horses, and well he may. On Tuesday even
ing he brought one of them into the city to
let the boys see what he calls fine colt. Ii
was two-year-cld sorrel FLY that weighed
judge we will unhestatingly say that 1t is
the finest colt of its age ever led into the
city. 1t was sired by Luke Braadhead, n
horse formerly owned by COL TarltoB.
There is rumor in the city that the Adams
express company is to be withdrawn from
the Santa Fe railroad, or, in other words.
that the Wells Fargo and American will abb
sorb it, change greatly to be regretted by
our business men generally. The effect can
be readily seen, more especially in our Colo
RADIO and New Mexico business. They will
regret also very much to lose Mr.. hartman,
who SO ably represents the interests Of that
company, and accounts for IFS great popular
ity among the business men generally

Mr.. +. +. Price, the proprietor of the
Globe iron works, of this city, who put up
our new press. is master mechanic in every
particular. not only an accomplished ma
chinest, but possessing talent in that direc-
ton that crops close to genius. There is
nothing about complicated machinery that
he don't comprehend at almost Il glance, and
as workman he is finished. Those desir-
ing fine jobs executed can do no better any
where than by taking their work TO Price,
Wichita's prince mechanic.
We hear it rumored that on June LIST the
Adams express company withdraws from the
A.. Il. 4 $. +. X. Il. company, the Adams
still retaining all its territory in south Kan
sas. Such II change, we are afraid. would
necessitate the removal of one Of our most
popular citizens, Ed. Hartman. Ed. has been
the agent for the Adams for the past fifteen
months. and by his straightforward dealing
aud gentlemaniy department has made host
Of friends. We hope the company will take
into consideration these facts, and retain
Ed. with us.
Mr.. .. Nj. Sherman, who has not been back
TO his old home Tor ten years. suddenly drop
ped his corn aud wheat deals, and his live
stock buying, and taking Mrs. S. and his lit
tie girl, lit out on Friday evenings train for
Oakfield, Wisconsin, TO eat Strawberries and
have six weeks of good time at Mrs. SIS
old homestead, where her father conducts
fine dairy, providing they don't get tired be-
fore that, and start for sunshine and the
praires. We wish them all a jolly good
time, also the pretty sister, with a far
away look in the shadowy picture.
| Mr.. John c. Murphy leaves our city with
his family in few days for Bellevue, Iowa,
where he will engage in milling in eonnec-
ton with his father-in-law. Mr.. Murphy has
been quiet but enterprising citizen and
| will leave many sincere friends behind. He
came to Wichita eight or nine years ago and,
| in, ,,-itI, for
years carried oil successfully large whole
sale and retail grocery trade. Selling out
his stock he. some three years ago, invested
| about $4,000 in the Wichita Brewery, which
has been interdcted by law and by which he
loses nearly all. If Iowa does not prohibit
fermented bread and light biscuit he hopes
| in few years TO regain some of his lost
money in making -four for the Hawkeyes.
A stop must be put to FASTING bills on the
floors of bridges. Horses, especially young
horses, invariably get scared at the white
paper, and several accidents are reported.
| The last one is Mrs. C. Il. Campbell, who
| was in the buggy with her husband last FRI
day. The horse reared at the bills, and
became unmanageable, going over the side
|
to save herself, broke her leg, and now must
be laid up for weeks. Mr.. &. tells us he will
prosecute the next man who pastes any bills
on the bridges over which he must drive.
Immense quantities of garden vegetables
are being daily expressed from this city to
points in Colorado and New Mexico, taking
| the place OF eggs, chickens. ETC., of the fall
| and winter But what surprised not "A
| little was to see number OF baskets of rad
ishes, asparagus, etc. directed to Winfield,
Wellington, Arkansas City, and other points
| south OF us. Why these places can't raise
such "truck" just rs early, As tender, and AZ
snccucnt the soil about the coniiuedce of
the Arkansaws, is what gets us. Wealways
thought shiftlessness attached to the
| thriftless denizens of the burgs named.
| Mr.. G. J. +. Little, of Kewanee, Illinois,
and vile. are visiting the family Of Judge
| w. &. Little, their son. They are accom-
panied by Miss Ida Griffin, niece. Mr.
| Little was one of the early settlers of ILL
nois, and he says the first settlers OF this
valley have little conception OF what really
hard times means. For fifteen long years
the earlier settlers of Illinois were subjected
to all manner OF hardships, Of drouths, of
floods and sickness, with no marke for what
they did raisa and no money to be had on
mortgage or otherwise. lie thinks this
county, with its improvements, railroads,
| health and crops, already made-already
| rich and we guess he is right
A grand united temperance rally is called
for next Sabbath evening at the NJ. l..
| church, 10 which all friends Of temperance,
whether they believe in prohibition or not,
are cordially invited. The principle address
| of the evening will be delivered by Rev.
Harper. who, having had no lot or parcel in
the old struggle, will come fresh, and un-
hampered by prejudice or notions begotten
of an unseemly political strife. He is repre-
scented an eloquent gentleman, whose
mode of reasoning is more than ordinarily
attractive and effective. We are assured
that there is no st. John and no politics in
il, although 1t happens TO come under the
head or programme published by the EAGLE
last week, as emanating from His Excellen
ey.
