The number of prairie ,chooners that
passed through the city yesterday. perhaps
surpassed that of any day, even in the early
settlement of this country. They represent
Missouri. Illinois. Arkansas, Indiana and
Ohio. They are well filed with women and
children. Al the present rate of inmigra-
ton it will not be long before our state is
more populous than some of the old states.
They all bring considerable stock with them
and many of them are pretty well fixed
financially.
Douglas avenue and Main street present
ed a busy spectacle Yesterday. On either
side, all through the day, a bustling busy
sea Of humanity rushing up and down and
and into stores and offices, while the streets
named were damned full of vehicles nearly
all day. We counted nine,y-seyen wagons
nj one time. on Douglas avenue between
Water street and the bridge. Five wagons
loaded with hogs stood in front Of Horace
Carpenters Office at one time, and dozen
loads of grain stood in front ofthe fremont.
Every store was fun of customers and vet
some called il a dull day.
A fine display of artistic photographs is
upon exhibition in one of the cases at Rog-
ers' gallery The subjects were some of the
members ofthe Waite theatre company, who
in character costumes perpetliate TO the mind
Of the observer. some of the scenes that were
engraved upon their memory short time
since and this work of our artist will
compare favorably with pictures of like
character from renowned studios of the east.
Wichita makes brave dash and good
showing at everything she attempts, whole
swine or none being her apparent motto.
W. w. Dill has one of the neatest and
most artistic charts that we have seen IN n
long time. The chart represents the Kansas
delegation at the Republican, convention nj
Chicago. II was gotten up by Mr.. {. j.
Jones, of Garden City. our alternate dele
gate In the center are wood cuts of Blaine
and Logan with the words $4,000 for the
nominee and $4,000 fer Blaine; on either
side are arranged bundles of wheat, corn,
and fruit. while at the base is a representation
of the delegation standing in the hall of the
convention. The design is very neat and the
colors are bright. Ii is by far the handsonl-
est chart Of like character we have seen.
Hon. f. T. Miller. a writer on political
economy. Of New York City, who has been
a regular reader of the EAGLE for some time
and who is the author of late work
entitled, "Follies of Free Trade or Protec-
ton, the Farmers Only Security" writes us
a private letter 10 the effect that Ben Butler,
is not sound on the great question of the
dsv. He gives his views more fully in
communication in the EAGLE which will be
found elsewhere. As We said yesterday
number of Greenhack organs are going
back on Butler. because Of his free trade
views. Among other things Mr.. Miller
