TO ths Eaftor Of the Daily Eagle
Knowing you are always in favor Of any
thing that will advance the business inter-
ests Of our city and help to enhance its
property, desire to offer few thoughts on
the above subject. We already have one
association of the above kind in the full tide
OF successful operation in this city. The
Wichita Building and Loan association was
organized on the first Of March last. Its
capital stock is S2O0,0Oo Nine hundred and
thirty-three shares of 500 each have been
| subscribed to date, on which $40 per share
have been paid and which to-day is worth
Sl4 per share, the association having been in
operation just nine months. At this rate
our stock at the end of the first year of its
business will be worth $40 per share, on
which all will have paid in just Sl3. At the
end of the second year, if this ratio contin-
ues, the stock will be worth S38, on which
We will have paid S26. At the end of the
third year it will be worth about
$500, on which $500 will have been paid;
and by the close of the first year, or before,
the stock will be at par, that is 500 per
share, which will have cost the stakeholder
just $500 per share. This is equivalent to
profit of $500 on an investment of S52, 90
for two years, or over 90 per cent. per an
mum. This is pretty good return for an
investment of this amount.
NJ thar, u opot bor v,baca 20 this anna
ton. The primary object of these associa-
tons is TO furnish 'homes to the homeless"
Our money is loaned to persous to build
houses with, and during the nine months we
have been in operation We have furnished
means to build between twenty-five and
thirty dwelling houses, our funds being Sc
cured by mortgages and insurance policies
on the houses thus erected. No one but
members can borrow of the association, and
all our funds are loaned to the member who
will pay the most for the privilege OF bor-
rowing, at 8 per cent. Our premiums to date
have averaged 22s per cent. or $3.50 on
each one hundred dollars sold. A dividend
Of S225 per share was declared on the first
of September last, being profits to that date.
New subscribers to become members Of the
old association are required to pay this divi-
dend, in ddition to the dues and assess
ments to date, and this prevents persons Of
small means from becoming members.
To obviate the difficulty new sssocia-
ton called the "Forest City Building and
Loan Association" has been organized with
many of the same members Of the old asso-
citation. The new association will COM
mence business on the second day of Decem-
Der, 1884, and will begin under much more
fattering auspices than the old association.
Persons DESTROYS of becoming members Of
either the old or the new, will call on II. NJ.
Piatt, ESQ.,, who is secretary of both organi-
cations, who will give them all information
they may desire in regard to either.

cLEyELANp.s CABINET
The Eagle Names the Secretary of
the Interior

There are great many suggestions and
much advice from Democratic papers,
touching the makeup of Cleveland's cabinet.
Hendricks has made a trip to Albany as have
many other Democratic statesmen to consult
about this all important matter And there
have been meetings Of politicians held in va
rious places, the views and conclusions OF
whom have been duly forwarded in impress
i've form to the great man at Albany.
Among these meetings was one held the
other day in New York in which the boss
and rowdy element were fully and only rep
resented. BY and through these clements
in New York was Grover Cleveland first dis
covered. They made hin governor of New
York and the candidate of the Democracy
for president. While all sizes, shades and
degrees of Democracy elected him the boss
element have their grip upon him and will
hold it. The business men of New York
want man under the influence
Of her Wall street made secretary of the
treasury. But there are no jobs in the treas
ment in which there is any show for Demo-
cratic stealing, and jobs which can be cover
ed up under the forms of law. That de-
partment ia the Interior. Now the EAGLE
wishes to be put on the record as prophecy
ing that these fellows in New York will de-
mand for New York the Interiorship and
that they will get it. The secretary Of the
interior win come from New York, he will
be the son-in-law of Standard-Oil Company
Payne, and his name is w. c. Whitney, the
tool, conference and advisor Of the element of
which we have made mention. The heavy
jawed howlers, the ward trimmers, and the
party coachers who have made Grover
Cleveland and who never suck turnips when
blood is to be had, have resolved on four
years squeeze of the territories and the In
dian business, and they will not be denied.

minds me how thankful we ought to be that

Of man. Truly our pilgrim fathers :elt that
In no other way could they express their
gratitude TO the author of all their blessings,
only to appoint day in which they could
NEE, aud unite in giving praise TO him who
had SO boun,ifully blessed them in all their
efforts TO establish civil and religious free
dom in this new world. am glad that the
custom has been handed down 10 us, their
children. and tina, We can truly aud devont-
IL offer up that same thank offering that we
have free country and can acknowledge
the same guiding hand which brought them
to our shores and filed their hearts with
thankfnlness and praise. am glad that the
day has been SO generally observed among
our business men. \ union service was held
at the Baptist church. and fine sermon
preached by Elder Drury from N. 18th

To the Editor Of the EAGLE:

To the Editor of the EAGLE:
Thanksgiving was generally observed here
by the business men, but our mechanics are
crowded so that they could not stop to give
thanks, and could only say as did the Irish
man, "Them's my sentiments too" Union
services were held by the different churches
at the Baptists' house, Elder Drury deliver
ing the sermon, which WAS very apropos to
the occasion.
The entertainment given in the evening by
the Ladies Union Aid society was a success
as far as they were permitted to carry out
the programme. All the performances, both
musical and literary were very creditable,
especially the Juvenile portion. The action
Of the patres ecclesie in stopping the per-
formance just as the tableaux was all ready
to be exposed, was certainly questionable, to
say the least, if not positively censurable'
after all the trouble aud pains, to say nothing
Of the expense the ladies had incurred in
preparing what would have doubtless been n
fitting climax TO the entertainment. But as il
is neither our province nor purpose to criti-
else, we shall wait TO hear the reasons for
what was apparently hasty and arbitrary
action.
