There is tremendous irregularity in the
arrival of the WICHITA DAILY EAGLE of late.
During the past two weeks it has not made
connections half the time-sometimes being
two days old, but generally one. This is
greatly regretted, for when received the
morning of its publication, the EAGLE is our
most valued exchange-Harper Graphic.
A very large list of DAILY EAGLES go to
Harper City; they go by the Santa Fe to
Wellington, and from Wellington to Harper
by the Kansas Southern. The connection
at Wellington is so close that when the
Santa Fe is behind time, which it often is,
the connection is not made, and of course
not only the EAGLE but all the state dailies
are thrown out twenty-four hours. We
assure the Graphic and all Others interested
that the paper leave this city regularly.
