opening which viii soon occur. They are
large and beautiful, being placed against the
wal like wardrobes, which they in size re-
semble, though they are glass with heavy
carved walnut frames and are rich and hand
some pieces Of furniture.
Officer II. c. Brasicr reported a singular
case of pocket picking about eleven O'Clock
last night A one armed and one legged
man knocked man down with his crutch
and was in the act oc going through his
pockets when the officer came upon him and
pulled him in. There seems to be a good
many hard cases in the city at present but
the police are on TO them and they will all
probably find their way to the cooler.
LII was quite amusing to see the Noble
Redskins trading horses at Harry Hills sale
stable yesterday. After the trade was made
Harry threw in an old set of harness to make
the trade good, then poor Lo wanted few
more brides and straps and after he got
these he went away but soon returned and
wanted another set of harness Verify the
noble son of the plains has not much gall.
Harry SAYS he expected him to come back
and ask for his barn.
The Sunfower road has made numerous
Improvements aOllS kiitli AsSh
about this city. They have done good
thing for the city in clearing and grading
Wichita street for half mile north of their
depot while they have spent a largc .rnount
of money in filling up the low grounds IN
the yard on the west side of the river, also in
widening the road bed from the bridge TO
the west side depot. This company is de-
serving of grea. praise for running trains 10
the fair for the accommodation of our citi-
zens at loss to the company.
The Beacon tries to belitile the Republic
can demonstration Of night before last, and
SAWS there were sixty-four torchmen in line.
There were one hundred and fiffy-four suits
and lamps given out and We guess none of
them covered the backs of sneaks nor of
Democrats Just wait until the Beacon's
Kazoo club puts in an appearance on our
streets. The only fear is that the Kazoos
will take UP the hours between midnight
and daylight in which to appear, when all
honest folk are in bed except the EAGLE
force which stays up all night just to watch
Democrat maneuver.
There lives in Sedgwick county quiet,
unobtrusive and prosperous farmer, who
came TO this valley in ali early day az a DEM
ocrat and who has voted the Democratic
ticket ever since. He has taken and been a
constant reader of the EAGLE for well on to
twelve years. We don't know TO what ex-
tent be has been influenced by the matter of
this paper or whether at al or not but in
settling up his subscription account and ar
ranging for future delivery he said: 81 shall
vote with YOU this fall for the first time, in
fact / have voted my last Democratic ticket"
His name and status are too well known,and
=. Mill not 40 any na,noryaf any pnad IN da-
nounce it as Republican lie for it is
wholesome truth emerged from Democratic
darkness.
Mr.. J. L. Waller. editor of the Western
Recorder. and who has been appointed
commissioner from Kansas TO the Worlds
Exposition at New Orleans, will address the
colored people of Wichita this evening at
the AN. E. church, NJ which time he will go
into the merits of the fair, and what he is
expected TO do, and what Kansas ought TO
do. Mr.. Waller is said to be a very enter
tanning and interesting speaker. II is de-

will honor themselves and their race at
New Orleans. Mr.. Thomas Glover, of this
CITY. has been appointed assistant honorary

upon the Recommendation of Mr.. Waller.
Mr.. Bruce is the national commissioner for
the colored race.
The Wichita land and loan company re-
Gently sold piece of land situated one mile
beyond the east end of Douglas avenue for
$3.50 per acre. Is there anything strange
about eastern capitalists investing in land
ten miles out of town at from Sl0to SO per
acre, or that hundreds are going daily to our
tn Kansas land
at Sl.25 an acre. There is a mammoth en-
igra;ion pouring into this state-greatert than
to any other in the union. The lands cam
not always last and at the present rate the
state will soon be filed up and all public
land will be gone into the hands Of settlers.
Come soon or get left.
A party of men came up Douglas avenue
Yesterday driving a lot of horses, which, they
had brought through from ElDorado, thirty
iiue miles away, from 10 O'Clock until 4.
The horses were SO fatigued with the long.
fast drive that two ofthem-a mare and colt,
gave out when in front of McComb Bros
store and required some doctoring before
they could proceed any farther. The mare
managed TO get onto her feet after some de-
Law and slowly drag herself over the bridge,
which the colt was unable TO do, IT had
10 be loaded into a wagon where, il Is
thought, If will die. Some suspicion was
aroused as to the cause Of the forced march,
and an officer made some investigation, but
rs vet nothing Of a sensational character has
developed
Married by Rev. G. NJ. Kelly, at the
Catholic parsonage, at o'clock last even
ing, Mr.. Harry NJ Roach of Wichita, and
Miss Louise 5. Wagner of Atchison. Father
Kelley telegraphed us few minutes after
the happy event, that he wished the worthy
couple much JOY and happiness, and we
are sure that the EAGLE joins him in the
wish.
Mr.. Roach is the new manager of the
Western Union telegraph Office at this
point, and very intelligent and accommo-
dating gentleman we have found him TO be-
Mss Wagner is one Of Atchison's most pop
ular bellies.
Mature, in sea. for human amity,

Joy is an inpart; Joy is an exchange,

The Observation-Disclosures Than Thou, as
sisted by the Democrats, are flooding the
country with circulars. The material
they've chosen don't seem TO be worth a
darn. Now, we'd like TO give them some
thing that1l count. We know il will. We
are certain of il. On the LIST of March, 1873,
there was q vote in the house on an increase
Of salary, dating back. Mr.. Blaine was
speaker, and was in the chair. The bill
provided that the salary Of the speaker be
increased from 5000 to $4,000. When
the veto was announced Mr.. Blaine made n
little speech. Here is what he said:
The chair now desires 10 make statement
TO himself In reading the bill the chair
presumes the language Of this amendment
would make the speakers salary $4,000 for
this congress. The salary of the speaker the
last time the question of pay was under con-
sideration. WAS adjusted TO that Of the vice
president and members of the cabinet. The
chair thinks that adjustment should not be
disturbed. and the question which he now
raises does not affect the pay Of other MEM
bers Of the house. He asks unanimous con-
sent to put in the word hereafter TO follow
the words shall receive. This will affect
whoever shall be speaker of the house of
Representatives hereafter. and does not affect
the speaker of the house. but leaves him on
the same plane with the vice-president
and cabinet officers upon the salary as be-
fore adjusted"
This mignt DE pot hie crctliar iorin anu
sent broadcast, and a postscript might be
added something after this style:
p. S.-We have examined the records and
have failed to find single place where
Blaine made money as a public man. or
where he used his position for his gain. We
are a set of disappointed asses
Let all rejoice. The good news is re-
ceived that the Edwin Clifford Dramatic
company will be here on next Friday and
Saturday. October 10th and 18th, and will
give our people q treat in the production, on
the opening night, Of PERL, or a Irritation
