and prosperous farmers Of Sedgwiek
county, yesterday presented bis wife 8
splendid white. curled hair mattress, from
the Wichita mattress factory. which is the
first and best mattress of the kind ever
purchased In the city. The comfort and
health giving properties OF this bed are
only felt by those who have enjoyed them.
We spend one-third Of our life In bed, and
why should not that oft sought resort be
one of luxury and comfort.
Mr.. Winston and family are now In the
way and are fully disposed to surround
themselves with all .he comforts of home.
They have commenced at the right place,
and soon there will be few OF our farmers,
such as they are, but will avail themselves
Of the present opportunities offered of Sc
curing the best goods at the best prices, at
the factory.
We are prepared to turn out at least one
every day of these fine hair mattresses for
the next year.
We cordially invite all, especially the
ladies', to call and examine our hair goods
Of all grades. Also wire mattresses, wire

THE MosER FRUIT FARM.

Last evening when X. A. Medley, our eff
fcient and gentlemanly street commission
er, invited the fruit editor Of the EAGLE to
take ride with him to Mr.. Moser's farm
two miles east of the city, the invitation
was promptly accepted. As we rode along
the wide road east Of the city, which is the
extension OF Central avenue, shaded by its
rows OF cottonwood and box elder trees,
and on either side Of which were neat and
tasty residence houses, surrounded by
shade aud young fruit trees.
During the ride we talked of old frontier
times away back in 1871, when the prairies
all east of this city were covered with
prairie grass, and the large Texas herds
wound their serpentine forms around the
streams east of town, and Curley Marshall
and other Wichita notables, ornamented
with couple Of navy revolvers,
would ride out to see the droves,
and every good citizen of the fu-
ture city deemed it a matter of self
preservation TO vote for ''Hope and the cat
tie trade" Mr.. Neeley pointed out several
valuable farms that twelve years ago were
one-half, eighty acres, sold for two hundred
dollars, the requisite amount to pay "Uncle
Sam" for the quarter section. When we
remember that in 1878 the sod was first
broken on Mr.. Moser's farm, and th at pre-
vious to that time its only product was prai-
rie grass and its only inhabitant the howl
ing prairie wolf, it seems strange to think
OF the contrast. To-day here is comfort
able brick house Of two stories, good
barn, at the back of which was a nice shad,
grove Of box alders some thirty feet high, |
under which were n drove Of as fine Poland.
China hogs as we have ever seen. But the \
most valusble part Of Mr.. Moser's farm is |
his farm containing about twenty acres |
he has apples, peaches, pears, ounces /
plums and crab apples in great abundance. |
Ii is grand sight to look !
over the long rows OF trees loaded with |
their fine fruit. His vineyard Of two and /
half acres will pay any one TO go and see,
who entertains the least doubt that this |
valley is the best grape country in the
world. At one side of the vineyard were /
40 baskets Of grapes ready to be sold on the |
Wichita market to-day. Mr.. Moser says l
he will this year market 10000 pounds of |
grapes. Our attention was particularly /
directed to one variety of apple, the Rollo |
Geniten. OF this variety there 800 trees /
full of apples, and from appearances now
when they are matured will be excellent.
Another very fine apple we noticed
was the Alexander, which is \ large red APP
,ta a & 81
MUM over 1000 other varieties at the GEN.
tennial exhibition. To tell everything
about the fine fruit on the Moser farm and
describe each variety will take too much
time. Mr.. Moser, however, seems to be
very well satisfied with his situation, and
says the product of his farm and orchard
this year will pay hired help and family ex-
penses, and leave a surplus sufficient to pay
interest on $40, 900 and that is enough.

sEDGwIcK COUNTY AT THE STATE
FAIR.

SEDGWIcK COUNTY AT THE STATE
FAIR.
The fact that Sedgwick county has such
an abundance Of fruit, equal to any in the
world, suggested the desire. to be repre-
scented as a county in our state fair. We
feel assured that it will require but little
effort on the part of the fruit growers of
this county to make display that will be a
credit TO the county. The Horticultural
department of the state fair is taken charge
of by The State Horticultural Society, OF
which j. G.. Sampson is vice president for
this county. He will see that all fruits left
at Smyth & Sons implement store on Doug
las avenue, who have set apart ten feet
square and who have kindly consented to
receive and care for all fruits lief. until the
time to transfer them to the state fair. Ii
should be remembered that the society re-
quires at least five specimens of each vari-
ETY. when brought in competition for pre-
MUM. Preserve the stems on all fruit and
wrap each specimen in tissue or other pa
per with the name of the fruit. Fruit can
be left until Saturday the 9th of September,
when it will be taken to Topeka and pro-
perry exhibited.

wards married. He was also
converssnt with the affairs OF the Female
institution at Millersburg, and knew the
teachers and scholars OF the institution,
Mrs. McKim herself being then a young
lady aud attending the institution. In
answer to our reporters question, Mr..
Mckim stated that the charge made to the
effec: that the Millersburg institute sus-
pended on account Of any "notorious con.
duct" on the part of Blaine was entirely
false. He said that the school up to the
time Of the death Of Col. 7. F. johnson,
who was its founder, was prosperous, pop
ular and influential, and an instrument of
great good and that he never heard the
suspension Of the academy attributed to
any other cause than that of the demise Of
its founder. Further along in his talk Mr..
Mekim said although he was a Kentucky
Democrat and that OF course the politics of
Mr.. Blaine could not in any way ever ac-
cord with his, yet be desired to say that IL
the Republican party is again to triumph,
Blaine was king In that party and from
his knowledge Of the man, both as youth
and as matured statesman, no man could
suit him better.

SEEDING PEACHES.

The attention Of Gilman Blood, of Waco
township, who has annually, almost, made
contributions OF fruit for the EAGLE to
blow about, is called to the fact that Perry
wilkins left in the EAGLE office, yesterday
evening, a pail full of seeding peaches,
consisting Of three varieties. Our friend
Perry has not been in the haiti of Dragging
about his fruit, but he says he will take no
dare from any Waco township fruit grower.
The pail OF peaches will be hard to beat.
In fact we never saw finer seedlings, and
wilkins Says they are seedlings undoubted-
ly, as he knows they came from seed
brought from Missouri. All three varieties
are large, but one Of the largest of one
kind measured ten inches and one of an
other kind measured nine and one-half
inches. The choicest variety of the lot
though, a deep melting, pinkish-yellow,
measured only eight and half inches, be-
ing ali Of very uniform size. Perry says
that none of the fruit growers Of this val
ley can scare him out when il comes 10
fruit and we believe bin.

The VOICES OF NIGHT.

To the Editor Of The Daily Eagle:
Night has eome-cold, damp and star-be-
grimmed. She gives this time for those who
may to hope, but by her dingy light the
world reads off its doom. she bears on will
ling wings pale death, the king of all. Hat
ed by his subjects he is imperial still, and a
weapon is his word. Darkness is this king
fiend's steed and the night winds furnish
him with thousand tongues. Listen TO
them now They whirl around your house
and whisper TO you OF the time when last
you saw your mothers face OF how that
look of love which rested there was all that
said "My boy. my love, my pride, good
bye" and of those dearest lips that could
not move TO meet your farewell kiss. Or,
if this ordeal has been withheld from you,
then listen to the breezes which stir the lazy
orchard leaves. They are prophesying Of
it. They say, too that that their master
will soon rend your home, and jeeringly
they view you try to stay the time.
Yes, it is night, but then day is coming
of another night. Life is light. But it al
ways speaks OF darkness and OF death. We
wend our way among the tombs until We
find the one designed Tor US.
Yes, night has come, and underneath her
inky cloak she holds pen, and with it
draws the line which must divide the rab
BILE from the great. She puts the drowsy
herd to sleep and stirs anew the pulses OF
the genius. Think of it 6, SAB ,0l3 human

and / are wide awake, vigorously prosecut-
ing our work. This common elevation
makes Us kin, and makes you gobble up
what stray return postage your gifted
fingers fall upon.
All, il is wonderful to think Of! The
average human snore always did puzzle me.
1 sometimes wake up at night and listen TO
il and study it. That part of the snore
which is audible attracts the most attention.
How many, many million SHORES are shed
nightly And yet We never think Of
utilizing them. We never try to discover
a means by which we may preserve them
for use during the day. How wonderful
And think, while millions Of these little
dewberries are ripening and falling from

friend, are at our labors, making ourselves
