There are the doubtful aud skeptical to BE-
found all over the state when it comes to the
wonderful growth of the future city of Kan.
sas. Understanding little Of this valley and
its actual magnitude, little of the location o.
the city or its environments and less of the
spirit of its people, they cannot comprehend
why it is that Wichita should make such
wonderful strides in such short periods
therefore doubt the facts and figures so otter
given them by the EAGLE. 1t is the SAME
way with reference to the productions snt
wealth of this valley. The undisputed fact
Sedgwick did actually, within weeks no
tice, contribute, donate, deliver and ship
thirty-one car loads Of corn, Il, 400 bushels,
to the Ohio river sufferers, failed to convince
the people of other portions of the state that
this was so wonderful corn country until .
few bushels of ears were sent to the state
fair for actual comparison with the nubbin,
of other localities. As to the increase Of
Wichita's population only those who come
and look at the town for themselves are evel
convinced. Everybody said last spring that
the idea that Wichita had increased foul
thousand in population in about thirteen
months was preposterous. Not that we e1.
pect to convince any nonresident, but sim
ply to keep up the record, we will announce
that the rolls of the public schools, which
opened this week, show upwards of five hun
dred new scholars since the schools closed
last June. What or how much of an addi-
ton to our population this fact would indi-
cate we leave for those interested to figure

A WORD ABOUT WHEAT.

A good solid rain that would wet up the
ground TO the depth of ten inches is now
very much desired on account of fall wheat
sowing. We don't know as many of oul
farmer readers noticed it, but the condensed
report telegraphed to the morning papers Of
the country, the first part of the week, fully
carries out the idea put forth by the EAGLE
that the wheat crop of 1884 had been
largely overestimated. The department fig.
ures show an over estimate of at least forty
million bushels or about twelve per cent
more than was actually harvested. The
London agent of the department, after care
full statistical investigation, cables that this
year will not prove one Of superabundance
in Europe; and that the figures show that
Europe will have to have one hundred and
eighty million Of bushels of our wheat
Therefore, as we said two or three weeks
ago, we think wheat will advance. How
much would be hard to tell, or when, but
W ould guess several cents. But this is not
what we started out to say. The low ruling
price of wheat, and the idea Of large ex-
cess in the markets, will, no doubt, have the
effect in the fall wheat growing states, of de-
terring wheat growers from sowing the usual
breadths. No doubt, in many localities, not
one-half Of the usual acreage will be sown.
The logic of this is plain enough that next
year wheat will be scarce and high. There
fore the wheat grower who keeps right along
without reference to the surplut Of this year
or the low prices of this year will come out
all right.

WIcHITA'S WITcHING WOMEN.

Il has been discovered that women who
desire to be beautiful must eat mutton.

And at last we have discovered the secret
of so many beautiful women in Wichita,
beautiful of head and heart, beautiful OF
form and feature II must have been mutton.
By reference to the report of the state fair
Just published, it will be seen that Sedgwick
county took all the best premiums on sheep,
SO the better the mutton the more beautiful
the women, the finer the wool the softer the
complexion, the heavier the fleece the more
lu1uriant the hair, the more stately the buck
the more sylph-like the movements Of our
graceful Hebes. Ravishingly lovely and
languishing our maidens are, tender and
loving our discrete wives, noble and self
sacrificing our mothers, but all beautiful
mutton or no mutton. Such babies Is are
born, such lisping dainty buds as bound
along our streets. such statuesque witches a.
pose in Mother Hubbards clinging gowns,
these are the glory and eternal dover Of the
kingdom of Wichita, the sovereigns Of every
manly heart that beats in truth nd honor.

A STREET MATINEE.

The people in the immediate neighborhood
of Coverdales clothing house were treated
to free show Saturday afternoon. Two
young men by the names Of Charles S. Sew
erance and John Carver, who had imbibed
a little too freely, suddenly took a mutual
dislike to each other and declared war. The
trouble arose over some drinks they had
been enjoying. They each possessed good
sized jackknives and, after tongue-lashing
sufficiently to get considerably excited, pro-
ceeded to open them and get down to BUSH
ness. From the threats made it was inferred
that each intended to "carve" the other but
for some unknown reason there was hitch
in the proceedings and it wasn't done. Con-
stable Thomas finally appeared on the scene
and escorted them to Justice Thomas Office.
They were arraigned before his Honor for
disturbing the peace. Carver was too drunk
to know whether to plead guilty or not, but
finally concluded "if the other fellow was
guilty he must be, too" He afterward de-
cided that he was not guilty, however. The
sother fellow" was sure he was not guilty,
and was anxious to have the Judge try the
case at once SO he could make the FIVE
o'clock train, as he was hotel drummer.
Squire Thomas concluded that by nine
o'clock Monday morning they would both
be in better shape for trial. They started to
go, and told the constable where he would
find them on Monday morning, but he gently
informed them that he expected that he
would find them in the lookup. So they
were marched to the city's refrigerator to
spend the Sabbath.

A SENSIBLE MAYOR.

Mayor Murphy, of Wellington, resigned
day before yesterday because the city coun-
Gil partially accepted the water works sys-
tenn lately planted there, before the system
still incomplete had been properly in
spected or tested. From what we could
gather from an expert few weeks since we
figured it out that their pressure would not
throw a FIRE stream or water from FIRE noz-
zle to exceed fifty-four feet high. We don't
know Murphy but he has our endorsement
in this action. Wellington is not the only
city in this section that through its
city councils jobbed-of and thrown away
valuable franchises and accepted half per-
formed contracts for which the people must
pay in full. The people of Wellington
should not forget that $4,000 per annum
pays per cent on 100000, and that il
paid for works which cost but $25,0O0 there
is left margin of $4,000 to be watered up
as per cent stock. OF Murphy's resigna-
ton the Press says:
people were surprised yesterday to learn
that Mayor Murphy had rendered his resig.
nation. The reason for this action on his
part was the passage of resolution by the
council making partial acceptance Of the
water works, by request of the contractor
The resolution may be found under the
head of of council proceedings. The mayor
claims that this resolution is in violation o.
the ordinance adopted for the construction
OF the works; that the council does no
know whether there are the number o
hydrants claimed by the contractor, q
whether they will perform the work FOL
which they were constructed, as there has
been no test of the works, as required by
ordinance before there can be any accept
ance. He believes the people have no pro
lection so far as their interests are affected
by this resolution. His position seems to u
well taken. We trust that the difference be
tween the mayor and council may be amica
bly, adjusted and that he will conclude to re
main in the important Office which he holds
The resignation will come up at the mex

DID NOT KNOW GREEN.


d. r. Green, the famous liveryman and
stage proprietor of kingman, told our re-
porter funny story about his visit to the
Beacon Office.
Mr.. Green went into tho Office to give an
ad for the cannon BALI stage line. He
found the Beacon man in his den, and told
his business, when the editor or manager
Green did not know which-asked what road
he represented and what was the Cannon
Ball line. Green said, My God, how long
have you been here, Have you not heard
of the Cannon Ball line of stages that runs
from Kingman to all the important points Of
the Great Southwest, No, he hadn't. Well,
what have you heard of anyhow? Have you
heard of Gould or Vanderbilt or Maud s.,
or have you been shut up in this den all
your life and heard nothingi Green said the
Beacon man then looked him over and sized
MIN up; looked at the check he had given
him ia payment for the ad and asubscrip-
ton, snd he supposed it was all right.
Green's check is good and we know it.

The city council, about two weeks ago,
adopted the Philadelphia system of number
ing buildings in this city, and their author
lied agents are now plating the city for the
purpose of carrying out the plan. Many
houses are being numbered every day, yet il
is very important that the work be done a;
once for the benefit of all who transact bust
ness in the city. To insure the correct num-
Der in the forthcoming directory and to
facilitate the establishment of letter carriers
and delivery of daily papers, the number OF
each house must be put up in compliance
with the ordinance. The most convenient
place in the city has been selected for peo-
pie to find out their number, viz: l24 North
Main street, next to the postofice. The sys-
TEN of numbering one hundred to each
block is the clearest and most simple in use
and enables anyone to find a numbered
house without delay. Call and get your
number and put it up.
