Notice.


All persons are warned not to
sell my son, James Grew, any in
toxicating liquors. Those doing
so will be prosecuted to the full ex-
tent of the law.
MRS. GEoRGIANA CREW.
Be 1t known that these notices
are published in a csg1Jized COM
munity, by anxious and agonized
parents, in a forlorn and desperate
hope to save their children-from
what? Why, from legalized death
traps, deliberately set by authority
of a civilized government, and cum
ningly baited by the trappers who
are sold the privilege of catching
and destroying the people for the
sum of 800 a year. IF anybody
says these trappers are not al
lowed by law to catch the boys, we
answer that those granting license
to saloons, know full well that sa.
loonists will sell to anybody that
can pay. If this be a civilized
country, then we say it is a ciuil
lied barbarism that eompels moth
ers to resort to the courts to pro-
tect their boys from legalized death
traps.

ARa,LnoAp GUESS.

For year or two past there has been |
considerable conjecture and no little fgur. |
ing xs to what the Santa Fe people would
would lay her branches to control, practi-
calIy, the richest territory of the entire
state. Besides the main line and numerous
branches, that interest owns, absolutely,
the Leavenworth, Lawrence l. Southwest
ern, the present terminus OF which is at
Harper city. Said people also control and
will soon own the st. Louis Il San Francis
co road, the present real terminus of which
10 at Wichita. Concentrations ofpOpulation,
trade, traffic and manufactures are against
the interest OF anv given railway system,
as such concentrations surely tend to the
construction of competing lines. Now for
guess. The Santa Fe will construct the
LeavenwOrth, Lawrence 4 Southern
from Harper little north of west. crossing
little corner of Kingman, little corner of
Barber and little corner Of Pratt and q
little corner of Commanche and a little cor
ner OF Edwards, making a straight line
from Harper to Dodge City. The Wichita
man 10 junction with the above road in
Pratt county, which makes another
through line via Wichita to Dodge. Start
| ing at point dozen miles or such a mat
ter west ofHarper City another branch will
be run down through Barber to the Indian
| line, thence west along the CimarOn river
| and the border for one hundred and fifty
miles or more, eleanly and entirely catching
| the cattle trade OF that country.
When this system will be built
or when finished would be hard
to guess, and whether the Wichita Il West
ern will be first built or the other; but that
that is the programme We have little doubt.
The line from Dodge east by Harper and
the Leayenwortb, Lawrence 4 Southwest.
ern to Oswego, and thence east by the
Frisco to st. Louis, is AS direct and straight
or more so than from Dodge via Wichita to
Oswego and st. Louis. Within five years
after the completion Of these lines Wichita
won't be forty mlesSout and west of the
center of population of the state.

BADLY BURNED.

Lille Thornton, colOred young wo-
man working as domestic in the family
Off. A. Wallace, who reside on Lawrence
avenue, met with very painful and what
may prove serious accident 1T an early
hour yesterday morning. She arose as was
her custom, and began preparations for
getting breakfast. On lighting the burner
on the gasoline stove she discovered that
there was but little oil in the tank.
She then got the can containing gasoline
and attempted to fill the tank. forgetting to
turn of the burner. The natural
results followed. The flames caught the
gasoline being poured into the tank, and
she dropped the can which spilled consid-
cradle oil on her clothes. In moment her
clothes were on fire, aud before the family
could come to her aid, she was very badly
burned on the right side, on the arms, neck
and face. DIR. Croskey was called and rem
dered such aid as was possible, and thinks
that Miss Thornton will recover. Her
case, however, is very sad and painful
one at best. aud should be warning to all
careless handlers Of gasoline.

CLARK COUNTY. KANSAS.

Clark county, which has been for some
time attached to Fsrd for Judicial and 9TH
er purposes, will soon be keeping house for
itself. 1t is a. splendid county, probably
the best county in that section Of the state.
town has been laid out near the center OF
the county and named Clark City. Robert
Z. Marquis, the business manager OF the
new town, who came in yesterday to get
some printing done and to make arrange
ments to lay before the world the many adj
vantages Of the county OF Clark, says set
tiers are rapidly going into that section.
He says the rain fall has been abundant,
and that settlers who have Deen there for
two or three seasons have splendid crops
of wheat. oats and corn. Clark City is on
the trail from Texas to Dodge City
thousand head OF cattle have passed
through that place for the north this sea-
son. The town 10 situated on section 81,
township 3s, range % west, and it is ex-
pected that 1t will make hourishiDg
town for business. Business men and me-
chanics are wanted. All letters addressed
to Robert G. Marquis at Clark City will be
promptly answered, the town being on the
daily mail line between IT. Dodge and
Camp supply. The town company has
been duly incorporated and will be the
county seat without doubt. The nearest
point to railroad is Dodge City, forty
miles distant.

TINE SECOND WARD ELECTION.

Some days ago the EAGLE made mention
Of the tie election for councilman that had
occurred in the Second ward, and that the
matter had been taken to the district courl
for settlement, hence the following opinion
by Judge Sluss will be OF general interest
IL. G. Toler, ct al. vs.. NJ. Zimmerly. act
ing mayor, etc.
At the regular annual election for coun-
Gilman in the Second ward OF the City OF
Wichita, II. q. TOler and +. g. Smith were
the only candidates and the vote was q tie
between them; the judges Of the election
did not determine by lot who WAS elected,
but simply made return of the vote as cast
TO the city council. The council passed a
resolution declaring that there had been
no election for councilman OF the second
ward. The question now is what is the
remedy OF the electors Of the ward.
In my opinion 1t is the duty of the
judges Ofthat election to meet and deter.
mine by lot who was elected. That the
resolution Of the council that no election
was held is void. that whoever the judges
Of the election determine by lot to have
been elected will be entitled to the Office of
councilman for tho second ward for the
term to be filled at that election. That,
therefore, there is no occasion or authority
for n special election. and that the man
damus to compel the mayor TO cali II must
be denied ii. {. SLUss.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic national convention
meets at Chicago july s. Excursion par
ties are now being formed in nearly every
county in the state to go to Chicago. 1t 10
desired TO have the fullest possible repre-
sentation from this county at Chicago. aud
arrangements have been made with the
management OF the Atchison, Topeka 4
Santa Fe and Chicago 4 Alton railroads
whereby excursion tickets can be secured
to attend the convention upon the most
liberal terms and advantages. The excur-
sion party will leave Wichita on Saturday
morning, July 5, making connection with

strain, named Legoupie, weighing 1.6O0
pounds, magnificent animal Of immense
powers. Both OF thess horses are from
pure strains and thoroughbred, recorded
in the French stud books, and both equally
valuable in their directions. There are
other horses kept BY Howard 4 Co but
these two, Daplon aid Legonpie, are said,
by judges, TO be - hne specimens as can
be found in the United States. They were
selected without regard to cost and are
very valuable to the county.

the KANSAS NATIONAL.

solid banks are the safeguards OF city.
interests in times Of financial trouble. For
several weeks times have been squally all
over the country, but the Wichita banks
have been prepared for the worst. and no
business man would have been closed up,
no matter what the panic, for the want OF
his funds. Yesterday We published the
statement OF one Of our national banks, and
to-day that of the Kansas National. 1t will
be seen that 1t has surplus and undivided
profits of $4,000, and In other banks and
agents upwards OF esq., 900. besides about
$4,000 in specie, in legal tender and bank
notes in its vaults. As with our banks, so
with the business Of the city. all seems on
sound and prosperous basis.

A spy.

Some one signing himself "a Spy" fur
nishes us with a most humorous account
of the Republican primary held at Garden
Plain, which is not published for the prin-
cipal reason that "A Spy" didn't send the
editor his name. But the way "Billie Tay-
lor and Dan Williams thronged in, follow.
lowed by multitude Of two more" and
how "thsse greeted the appearance Of Null.
Ky with round after round of tumutuous
applause" and then Mulky's speech re-
turning thanks, etc, is all good. Our cor.
respondent winds up by saying that three
cheers were given for Blaine and Logan,
neither of which gentlemen were present.

their carriages aud returned home.

THE SHORT LINE.

Surveyor ii. l.. Jackson, with his corps,
have finished permanent survey OF the
Wichita a. Florence short line, arriving
home night before last. Instead of any
troubles or difficulties being encountered
the line was found smoother, more prac.
teal than the first trip across the country
had warranted. The grade is light, the
line direction straight and the distance
is sh ortened by eleven miles. The route
defects but little from straight line and
the measurement is but twenty-five hun.
dred feet longer than an air hne between
the two points. MIR. Jackson is now busy
at work on his field notes and within few
days will have profile OF the entire route
made up. The Wichita short line is look
ing up-looking as IL It would soon be an
assured fact.

We are informed that Gen. Hatch now
has six companies of cavalry in the Indian
Territory, and soon proposes to make a
raid on all intruders both in the territory
and Oklahoma country, and remove them
ut all hazards. There are some 1, 200 set
tiers on the southern line of the territory
who have been there ten or twelve years.
Those are mostly Texans, and Gen. Hatch
expects to have some trouble in removing
them, but he anticipates little trouble in
driving of all Oklahoma boomers.
