DISEASED CATTLE.

| Two or three weeks since, the EAGLE
tie, asserting that we had been reliably in.
formed that such disease was present in
.ome of the herds of the county, ami that
at least there was one instance where dis
eased steer had been sold TO a butcher oil
this city. The article had the effect OF
eral butchers got quite indignant, but
hardly knew whether to visit their wrath
upon us or some one else. We didn't. and
don't blame any honest butcher for at.
tempting 20 sift the matter TO the bottom
for the purpose Of Furnishing the guilty
party, If there was one. The matter came
TO us from very well known and reliable
citizen and s,OckmaB, who would not con-
seat TO the use Of his name, but who desir-
ed the people warned. Because we could
not give our authority was no reason why
we should refrain from telling the people.
IL was our plain duty TO tell ali to keep a
lookout, for that the thing had been prac-
ticed in several cities was notorious fact.
We have seen our informant since, and he
says, while he was told Of such sale by 4
reliable party, he did not learn the butch
er's name nor that the animal was actually
sold but, il there were any further develop
ments of such work, he stood ready to
prove all that the EAGLE said, in that such
an animal was sold to a Wichita butcher.
We believe our article was timely, and if
any sucl work had haeu Ooinr on that

1888.

The old year with its long train OF calam-
tiles and unnumbered accidents, more la.
mentable than the children OF earth in all
past history were ever doomed to bear. the
marked and prophetic year OF 1883 with its
bitter woes and ocean Of Tears, has flown to
that unsounded realm OF the things that
were. It, last hours were typical OF its dire
life and disastrous reign. II died, but not
meath heavens soft lights, famed by ca.
ressing zephyrs and sustained by the bene-
diction Of assuring voices, but expired In
the chill Of a polar wave, and mid bowls
and shrieks that sent shudder OF terror to
the hearts Of the homeless and unsheltered,
vanished In the darkness OF midnight, his
rent and drifting winding sheet scattered
in patches upon the cold bosom OF the earth,
10 which he had broken all his fair prom
Uses, and the torn white of which furnished
but scanty natal robe TO bis successor, the

TEMPERANCE UNION.

A. b. Campbell, president of the state
temperance union, addressed eight or nine
hundred people Sunday night at the Pres
byterian church, the occasion being the
monthly meeting of the local organization.
The auditorium WAS crowded - gallery,
aisles, vestibules and the space in front of
the alter railing. The subject of the dis
course was the right Of the state TO iegis-
late against the sale of intoxicating liquors,
and the duty and power of the people to en-
force their will as expressed in the consti-
tuition and the laws. Campbell's spiritual,
mental and physical makeup are in full ac-
cord, and his address was true exponent
Of his composition. His audience were in
the fullest sympathy with him, cheering fire.

said the same fact would apply TO The city
Of Wichita before the expiration OF year,

ElDorado, now the second city, probably,
In importance in the State southwest of En-
poria. Certainly no town in Southwestern
Kansas, outside OF Wichita, has made so
substantial and marked a growth for the
year 1883 as has the county seat Of Butler.
We had not visited the place for four years,
until one day last week, and so marked were
the changes that we would have failed TO
recognize the place had we simply happen
ed upon it. Instead Of single business
street we found two of about equal impor-
lance upon which had gone up large and
substantial brick and stone business blocks
such as would prove ornaments to the largest
city In the State. Sixteen business houses,
at cost of eighty or ninety thousand dol
lars had been erected the past season, and
nearly one hundred residences at cost of
upwards OF 100000. Instead of being con-
fined TO the little valley skirting the Walnut
rivers, the town has spread out over the
gently undulating hills or prairies, 10 the
west, upon which the more pretentious res
dences loom up in very slightly and pleas
ing fashion, SO that the renewed and grow
ing city il not only substantial but one OF
the most attractive in the State. Among
other noticeable improvements is a three
story brick hotel, s0xIOO feet, Of airy rooms,
open veranda, and a modern air generally,
which will be opened to the public in few
days, aud which is the finest hotel south Of
Emporia. We sincerely congratulate the
energetic and enterprising people of FL
Dorado upon their town, upon its beautiful
location, and upon the many evidences o:
rapid and substantial growth TO be seen up
on every hand. ElDorado il county town
Of which the people of Butler may well feel |

The Leayenworth Times in an article on
the vacant railroad commissionership says
No man in the interests of the railroads i.
fit for the position. Neither is any man
against whom charges of any connection
with the railroads can be brought TO bear.
On the other hand, no man should be Sc.
lected who is known TO be an babitual
grumbler as to railroads or who is in any
way unreasonable in bis opposition to COM
non-carriers.
What is demanded is a heightened, fair,
honorable gentleman, who will devote his
attention 10 the solution of all questions
brought before the board, in justice to all
sides. Such 4 man will inspire the conf
dence Of the whole state and the railroad
people alike. Integrity in the composition
of the commissioners viii have more weight
in the peaceable settlement OF our railroad
affairs than any penalties that can be
brought &c bear, and to secure this is the
duty that is now upon the officers cmpow-
cred to Sc lect the board.
