MORE ABOUT SHEEP.


Reuben Hoffman, sold in this city few
days ago the wool from 225 sheep that
SHARED eleven pounds to the head. This
lot Of. wool sold for sixteen cents here and was
bought by Mr.. Keneda for Langenberg
Bros. & Co., of st. Louis. These sheep are
part of the flock bought of Fox & Askew
and are about as good sheep as are raised in
Kansas Mr.. Hoffman is one Of the mos;
successful farmers in this county and his
fine farm in Minneha township, consisting OF
three hundred and twenty acres, is worth a
small fortune. Mr.. Hoffman's success shows
the importance of raising good stock. This
is hard year on the sheep men but Mr..
Hoffman will not be likely TO loose much
money. One dollar and seventy-six cents
per head for the wool from each sheep and
the increase of the flock still on hand does
not look so bad after all.

DEATH OF SAM KIRKwooD.

Silently and unseen as the pale messenger
himself, came creeping over the wires that
reach to the Golden Gate the sorrowful
news that Sam Kirkwood died yesterday
morning.
Only a few short weeks ago, in company
with his father, he left his home in Wichita,
hopeful that the more congenial climate of
the Pacific coast would restore him to per-
feet health. But alas how many blighted
hopes, how many broken hearts those sunny
skies smiles down upon.
Sam was so well known in Wichita that
it is almost superfuous to write aught of
him, save that life so noble, a character
always lovely, but made perfect through
suffering, is well worth more than passing
mention. As a lad Sam had strong,
handsome physique and brain that was his
birth-right as Kirkwood. Added to these
was generous, manly spirit, the courteous
manners OF a gentleman, and the love and
charity that mark the christian. In the
midst OF his college career that promised to
be brilliant in the future, that insidious foe,
consumption, laid its touch upon his lungs
and ever since waged unequal warfare, until
yesterday the foe was victor. The blow falls
with crushing weight upon the lonely moth
er who idolized her boy. II is doubly hard
that she was denied the parting glance; the
last pressure of his cooling lips, and the as
surance that as the light grew dim over the
broad water outside the Golden Gate, a
broader stream Of radiance greeted his up
lifted sight shining through the Golden
Gate of the New Jerusalem.

panied by two children met representative
of the EAGLE and seeing that he wore a
badge, she enquired if he were not police
man. She said her name was Mrs. Doug.
erty and resided on the Little river, about
four miles from town. Her husband, Isaac
Dougherty, had been working on the rail-
road the last four or five months and last
Tuesday he was at home, but in the after
noon came down town, ostensibly for the
purpose of renting livery stable to go into
business, but she had not seen him since
She heard be was town but did not believe
it. She said he had some money and per-
haps he had been killed and thrown into
the river. She represented herself to be in
destitute circumstances.

regular star of this class of artists held down

Fourth and the Santa Fe depot. before a
large and highly delighted audience. The
great performer was the nigh-horse OF a dray
team, and although coaxed and petted with
a huge blocksnake whip, he refused to bulge
an inch. A strong cord was procured
and another team hitehed on in front to the
end of the pole. They were started up and
pulled the balky chap and his mate, wagon
and all along few steps but the great"stay

fell down and rolled over on his side. Tho
coaxing apparatus was again vigorously APP
piled to his ears and he sprang to his feet
but only to go down again as soon as the
front team started. Finally he was got on

OUR SHEEP INTERESTS.

The last few years have not been profta-
BILE to the growers Of wool in the western
states. A reasonably fair quality of wool,
say one-half to three-quarters Marine, has
sold this spring on this market at twelve to
sixteen cents per pound. These prices are
not encouraging to the producers Of wool,
and the results are that many farmers are
trying to dispose Of their sheep. Quite
number of these indispensable animals have
been fed in this county and shipped east and
sold for mutton at prices that left the raisers
no profit whatever. We were yesterday in
formed by gentleman who had recently
visited some of the best sheep counties in
PENNSYLVANIA, that the farmers in those
counties were getting rid of their sheep,
some OF The very best bred Mcrinocs being
sold at very low figures for mutton. This
depression in this branch of industry will
most certainly be followed by higher prices
and prosperity for those who stick to the
business. Last summer when wheat was
being sold at forty cents per bushel We ex-
pressed the same views in regard TO that
branch of industry and advised our farmers
TO hold. We now venture the opinion that
farmers who hold on to their sheep will in
the next few years have cause to congratu'
late themselves on their good luck.

Mr.. Katz of the Philadelphia store, who
returned yesterday from little run out to
Colorado in company with some old friends,
says there is great depression in the min
ing towns and districts. The party went up
into the mountains as far as Georgetown,
once the center of the silver mines. In re-
turning they stopped over one day at
Pueblo which place is seemingly dead be-
yond resurrection. That place is backed by
no agricultural resources and year by year
the mining intests and localities get farther
and farther away until now the once bright
Quitting point is left on a high and barren
plateau with very many of its finest bust
ness rooms bearing the death-telling legend
"for rent" The great hotel built there O
year or so since at cost Of S150,O00 has
never been opened and stands unoccupied
This fate has been predicted Of that place by
almost every disinterested observer. Pueblo
is too far from agriculture, too far from the
he minee--too far from any place.

WHO STARTED THE COLLEGE I?

The kingman Leader says that Wichita
was the protector and leader in the new
Methodist College movement. That paper
is correct. The idea at least originated with
Wichita men who bought grounds and af-
forwards purchased some lots and build
ing costing $4,000, and actually opened out
one or two departments. As to the site now
proposed the conference demands twenty
acres of land and such an area cannot be Sc
cured within the corporate limits of this

The METHODIST COLLEGE.

The Wellington Daily Press gives us q
column and half article on the subject of
the location of the Methodist college in
which it endcavors to show that Wichita has
no single advantage over Wellington or any
other town of the conference, desiring that
institution. There are none so blind as
those who won't see. Now mark us, follow
closely the words we write: The conference
in laying down the instructions which must
govern the locating committee in making
the selection of a point, by resolution en-
phasized three prerequisites, which require
ments have already caused two places TO
withdraw from the contest, to-wit, namely,
central location" accessibility" and "prob-
able local support" Wichita is the only
prominent town in the conference
that comes anywhere near meeting
these requirements. She is central, is ae-
cessible and can afford the greatest local
support. VIII the Press please read that
resolution. Wellington is a splendid town,
the biggest in this section outside of Wich-
tia, but she is situated within twenty miles
of the south line of the conference. Win
field is pleasant city, but lies in the south
east corner of the conference. FL Dorado
lies within eighteen miles of the east line of
the conference. Newton and Hutchinson
lie within twenty or thirty miles of the north
line Of the conference. Hutchinson. nor
Newton are so accessible as Wichita. In
other words, my dear sir, if the locating
committee don't lose sight of their instruc-
tons the college will be located at Wichita,
where the idea of the enterprise first orig
mated and where the conference expected
that it would be located. The EAGLE is for
southwest Kansas, but for Wichita first.

One of the most distressing illustrations Of
the evil of intoxicgtion that has come under
our observation for long time, was seen on
Main street yesterday afternoon. The man
who was evidently farmer, was trying TO
walk and lead horse, off which he evident
ly had fallen, judging by the looks of his
garments. He fell down in front of the horse
about every rod he went, and rolled in the
mud. The horse would stop and look at
him every time ne fell. A crowd gathered
near the Occidental to see him. At length
he fell in front OF the Occidental grocery
and the proprietor took and tied the horse
while the bystanders picked the poor fellow
up and carried him behind the store, put
ting a bunch of straw under his head. He
could not talk and the general opinion was
that he had been dosed. A search revealed
the fact that he had about $50 on his per-
son. The money was taken from him and
put in the care Of the storekeeper. On ac-
count of being so far up street the police
missed him.
