DIED ON TINE ROAD.

Yesterday morning very sad scene was
presented at the fremont hotel, it being
the arrival Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. +. Walton,
bearing in coffin the remains OF their lit
tie child. Some days ago Mr.. Walton had
set out with his family from their home at
Humansville, NO., overland TO visit.his
father who live at Garden Plain. On
reaching Humboldt, Kan, their little child
was taken seriously III, and in spite OF theii
best efforts and the skill Of The doctors, the
little one only fingered a short time before
dying. The remains were enclosed in 8
casket and brought with them to this city.
After resting a few hours, they secured q
buggy and driver and again renewed their
journey, desiring to take their child to the
home Of its grandparents for interment.
Mrs. Walton was nearly i'll with grief and
the effects OF the journey, but We trust
they reached their destination without
further misfortune,

SILK WORMS.

That silk can be proftably grown in
Sedgwick county and Wichita, is now be-
ing proven by Mrs. y. J. Cotter, late
~ from Burlington, Iowa, with very
satisfactory results. Mrs. Cotter lives on
Emporia avenue, between First and Second
streets, and il viii largely repay any one
who Is not familiar with silk culture to
give her q call aud see the hundreds Of
worms busily at work. Last May Mrs.
t,otter secured one ounce Of eggs, and she
now has nearly 10000 worms in all stages,
from those just Matched up 10 the older
ones which have begun spinning or
forming eocoons. Thus far very few
of her worms have died. the most OF them
seeming TO be very healthy. She feeds
thempn Usage hedge leaves, OF which they
eat large quantities, especially just prior TO
spinning. The worms are arrange don large
trays and present very novel sight.
should these worms do well, Mrs. Coiter
will better prepare herself for taking care
of them, and we should not be surprised IL
she iually made handsome thing, hnan-
ciaily, out Of the experiment. That the
cuiture Of silk is very profitable is general
n conceded, and Mrs. Cotter has demon
eerpssd he fact that the worms willliye and

A SAD PICTURE.
"Oh. 1t was pitiful,
Near O whole city full
Homes they d ad none.

One Of the saddest commentaries on the
frailties of life, one of the saddest pictu res
Of its darkest side, was seen at the police
court room in this city Tues
day morning. where three girls,
mere children were arrsigned for
lewdness and disorderly conduct. Three
little girls, homeless and victims OF the
brute in man, the youngest but ten and the
eldest only fifteen years old, brought
to face 3 crowd Of loungers-the young
est with wondering eyes and the
others with checks crimsoned with
shame they could scarcely comprehend.
We will give no names, but two Of the girls
are sisters whose mother LEFT them without
anything to eat and little to wear. All
three had been found huddled together In
the corner OF an elevator near the
railway track. The tale Of these
young tender lives ~ told BY
themselves was sadder thsn any words,
because neither their own words nor any

The Center Of k.nsas' pe,sIa.Iea.

Many years ago the editor Of the EAGLE
wrote along article on the future center Of
the population Of Kansas, In which, among
other things, was set forth the probable fu-
ture density OF the population Of the south
western counties, and the result as touch
ing the material and political interests Of
the state, and the location Of the state cap
ital. Another thing asserted in that article
was that cut the state in eight equal
squares Topeka would be found
within five miles Of the center of the north
east eighth. The article called out consid.
cradle comment Of assent and dissent.
General ID, W. Wilder, then editor of the
Fort Scott Monitor, took up the PROPOSE.
ton and In connection with his comments
published a diagram showing that we
were correct.
The convictions and calculations of then
have been more than realized. The Dor.
ders Of what was then denominated the
great southwest have enlarged, embracing
several counties then counted rs mere cat
tie ranges, but now known TO be as fine az.
ricultural counties as can be found in the
state. A gentleman who had just return
ed from an extended trip through the coun-
ties ofkingmap, Pratt, Barber, Edwards
and Ccmanche. informed us yesterday that
rs fine oats as he ever saw he found grow
ing.one hundred and twenty-five miles south
west OF Wichita, and that the new county
OF Pratt is dotted all over, upon nearly
every quarter section, with pioneer cabins
and improvements.
1t is no longer questioned that the lands
lying south of the main upper Arkansas
valley are richer, better watered, and more
fayorably situated for rainfall than the
lands composing the immediate valley.
We don't know where the center of the
states population is today, but it must be
several miles west of Emporia, farther south
and west OF Topeka, probably, than Topeka
is west from the Missouri river. Counties
that had, when we wrote that article, but
a few hundred each Of population, namely,
Butler, Cowley, Sedgwich, sumner. Nc
Pherson, Harvey, Kingman, Harper and
Barber now have population aggregating
one hundred and ninety thousand (l9O, OO0)'
people. The four first counties named
nave upwards of 1880 population.
What does the northwestern portion Of
the state think Of these figures, anyhow
We confess that they astonish the writer,
who has witnessed the entire development

and when, They didn't come nor were
they brought by anybody. Less than 10
per cent Of that grand total was ever
brought here. 1t has been made right here
and for the most part in dozen years.

cultivation, viz: 1887, followed by Grant
with i7.Gll acres, then Attica next with 49,

under cultivation. Attica has the largest
per cent of her lands under cultivation
being two-thirds OF her entire area.
Wichita township lands average the high
est in value, being fraction over Si., or
