companied by VIII c. Woodman, of the
First Arkansas Valley bank.
J. A. Ask was yesterday changing his
place Of abode from River street, to near the
Fort Scott depot. This shortening of dis
lance will no doubt be appreciated when the
middle Of January makes the longest way
around much the lengthiest route home.

tate and brokers firm, at Anthony, Goss &
Evans, called yesterday evening. Mr.. 4.

As will be seen by special notice of the
Wichita Gas company are offering coke a,
the low rate Of Il IL cents per bushel. See
what they say about it. OF course in many
respects coke is a nice fuel there being no
gas nor sulphur left in it. 1t is said TO burn
splendidy in hard coal or anthracite
burner with a very small per cent Of an
thracite mixed with il for extraordinary cold
days.
Thomas Baker and Calvin Deal and fami-
lies left for Edwards county yesterday,
where they have claims. They go in better
shape than most emigrants do. They took
ait unusually large supply ofeverything cal
culated 10 make them comfortable, also a
number of good horses and other stock.
These are good citizens and Edwards county
is TO be congratulated on such an acquisi-
ton. Their postotiice, we believe, will be

NJ. A. Denny is a man of great tenacity OF
purpose and perscvering effort. Twice he
raised bunyons on his instep tramping for
the festive .'malard" which he saw not.
Yet he would not down, and on the day es-
peciallv intended for giving thanks, he
grasped his fuzee and rushed frantically once
more among the feathered denizens of the
wids of Sedgwick. Eureka.-he found the
only squirrel in the county and broke its
back before bis ammunition WAS half gone.
Well, yes, he did get eighteen quails at one
shot, but of course that don't count
Messrs. Newton. Essex and Fisher, who a
week ago went to the territory on hunting
expedition. returned to the city yesterday
with game of all kinds, from quail to an an
ielope That is. they would have come that
way but that the storm Of last week caused
al! the bears 10 retire into winter quarters
and the small game to migrate to South
America. Such is life, and we exist at any
rate, but TO see our fondest hopes decay, SO
as this makes much company for all MIN
rods. we hope the above worthy gentlemen
will be able 20 survive their grand left hand
ed success
We have been informed that we were in
error in stating that Jake Eckhart returned
with Fritz Snitzler and the Others of that
party who attended the Bottlers' convention
in c ncinna,i. II now appears that Jake
made mash on the president Of the
Botilers' association. who is New York
man and in cahoots with President-elect
Cleveland and that he promised TO get Jake
a sob on Clcveland's cabinet. In view Of
this Jake has gone on to Washington TO Sc
cure suitable residence. Be this AS it may,
Jake has actually gone TO Washington eny
how.
Mr.. Ed. ID. Massie, who has filed the po-
si;ion of delivery clerk AT the postoffce for
the past Eve months with exceptional popu-
larity, left the city yesterday morning for
Fl. Scott, to assume the duties of postal
clerk on the St. Louis, Fl. Scot, & Wichita
railroad, 10 which position he was recently
appointed. Ed. was particularly efficient
clerk, pleasant, even tempered and thorough,
and had won bis way TO popularity with the
public, who will doubtless miss him from
the old accustomed place. All his friends
will doubtless join the EAGLE in wishing
him prosperity in his new field Of enterprise.
