Commissioner s.eenrod and waiter and

COMMISSIONER Steenrod and Walter and
County Clerk Dorsey. in rendering the sp-
pointment Of county commissioner to A.
w. Oliver, in place Of J. u. Steele, resign
ed, did very wise and acceptable act.
Probably the appointment Of no business
man in city could have given such universal
satisfaction. Mr.. Oliver Is the head OF the
City Mills and Elevator nrm, and president
Of the board OF trade. He is ciear-headed
and wide-awake business man Of strictly
business methods and 10 not easily misled.
Not only the interests Of his constituents 10
this city, but the interests OF the taxpayer
Of the entire county, will be faithfully look
ed after by him, for he is the kind Of man
that always studies first to know what his
duties are and then does them. Mr.. Oliver
objected to accepting the place, but his con-
sent will insure his nomination and cleo
ton 30 that the time and pains necessary to
familiarixe himself with the business Of the
county will not be wasted.

STATISTICS OF sEpewIcx COUNTY FARMS.

The EAGLES table Of last week showing
the aggregate acreage, assessed valuation
and population, by townships, omitted
several items of interest. We now give
some grand totals in q shape that will be
readily understood, and in which shape
they will be more handy for reference, for
the county as whole. This table shows
that Sedgwick county stands far in advance
of many agricultural counties in the older
States in number Of acres under cultiva-
ton, and that, il 1t is not already, 1t soon
will be the leading county OF Kansas:

The nest Of house-breakers and sneak
thieves, who commenced their work some
two or three months ago, are still with us.
There is no doubt but that they belong
here, and the police ought not to rest until
they have been spotted. Attempts to enter
two or three houses have been made with
in the week. The best protection against
such robbers is to keep dog in the house
at night, no matter how small only SO it
makes a lively noise. Next to u dog is a
convenient revolver. When q man 10 dis
covered fooling with door or window after
midnight never stop to ask questions but

A connection, for fire purposes, having
been made between the water-works and
the Little River, the engineer made test
of the capacity or supply last week. He
says, If necessary. he could run six or eight
fire-nozzles at full capacity for two days and
nights or any length of time. But it is
thought with the greater capacity and
greater depth being made to the well that it
is very doubtful IL ever the valve of the river
connection will be opened. A large num-
Der of additional points are being put down
at the bottom OF the well for the purpose
of getting the purest waller to be had.

city made mistake in allowing the use Of
magnetism lime stone in guttering and

played out, aud one half Of the curb stones
split and crumbled. The city should allow
no more of this stone put in for the pur-

The committee OF arrangements for the
Fourth, have, without so much as "by
your leave, SIR" or ''permit us to confer
the honor" made the editor of the EAGLE
president Of the Day." and so put IT on
the programme which was the first intima-
ton that we had OF the distinguished con-
sideration. II has only been a few years
since We did ill that place, or tried to, and
it should have been somebodyelse's turn.
We don't know what the committee were
thinking about. The proper pivo, about
which the Declaration, orators flags, fire
works, and twenty thousand people should
revoive would be roaring mouthed, deep
chested, broad-shouldered gentleman with
rotund bread basket, and unique view Of
whose swallow tails would at once forcibly
remind the congregated patriots Of the
compass OF a Daniel Webster or David
Davis. Dapper little gentlemen do well
enough to swell the procession, or in .
pinch To twirl the old bird time or two,
but for the head Of an august diguihcation
Of flourish and glory, never.
