FISHING PARTY.

Gene Schattner, Charles Dangerfeld,
Frank Richards and Bruce Craddock re-
turned yesterday from the Cowskin where
they went on fishing excursion. These
gentlemen belong to the Fish club, which
has for its primary object the preservation
of native fish within the rivers of the state.
That being the case it was not surprising
that they came without any strings what
ever Some thoughtless fellow might ask,
what in Sam Hill took them out there, if
they did not go TO catch fish. Well, the
facts are they went out there for spring
water and to try its effects on mixture they
carried in their pockets. They met DIR
Jones out there and after pulling him
through wire fence and tearing most OF
his clothes off him induced him 10 try the
mixture of spring water and lemons. They
are very silent on what effect it had on them
but are very communicative on the way il
| acted on the doctor. II is related tkat the
doctor alarmed the party several times by
claiming to have caught beaver, but when
it was brought up it proved 70 be portion
of his un lerwear hanging down from the
opposite side of the boat.

A FRUIT PICTURE.

The finest basket of fruit that ever came
to this Office, the finest basket Of fruit we
ever saw, was left in this office yesterday by
NJ. r. Moser, Sedgwick county's great fruit
grower; the man who took the gold medal
at Cincinnati. We wish every fruit grower
in the county could see this particular col
lection. We have never seen its equal IN
the markets of Philadelphia, Baltimore or
New York. Ten dollars would be small
valuation for It. We shall not attempt to
describe it further than to say that it con-
tanned fifteen different kinds of apples, five
kinds of pears, six kinds Of grapes and four
kinds of peaches, all arranged about sill
ver-headed bottle of native wine Such
display OF gold and amber, of blue
black and red, pink and green, probably
was never gotten together before. Friend
Moser said this particular basket was not for
notice but for the enjoyment of hard-work-
ed brother; but he told US that he had mar
keted one hundred and seventyseven wagon
loads of fruit from his delightful. place this
summer. We have come to the conclusion
that hill-fruit beats bottom-land products,
and VIC now predict that in a few years
more Mr. Moser's fruit farm will have a state
reputation. We had like to forgot to than k
him for his consideration but he knows he
has our thanks, not only for the fruit and
the good will but for tie fact that he has
demonstrated that no land-not even Cali
fornia-can beat this valley for delicious and
highly Developed fruits.

A BORROWING WIFE

An EAGLE reporter, while nosing about
after items yesterday, caught onto a story
that has obtained currency in female circles
in this city, which serves TO illustrate the
sorrow of wife at the prospect Of losing
her husband.
As the story goes, the doctors had given
up all hope of the recovery of the sick hus-
band in the case and told the grief-stricken
wife about what time the husband would be
invited TO walk the dark corridors of the
valley of death Determined TO have every
thing in readiness TO give him good send
of. she had her mourning dress made and
trimmed up in a becoming manner. The
morning proceeding the momentuous event
she dressed herself in her mournful gsrb
and after several turns in front of a mirror
repairsd TO the sick room TO show the
spirit about to depart, how charming she
would look in her fresh widowhood. Wheth-
or the husband was satisfied TO yield up the
spirit after beholding the exhibition is not
stated, but at any rate he shufiled off that
night, and the next day the heart-broken
widow dressed in her new robes called
in a photographer to take her photo all
dressed up in her funeral clothes and stand
ing with ore hand resting upon the coffin.
This story is SAID to be positively true.

THEY ARE COMING.

Cash Henderson, manager of the celebrat
ed New York store. who has been in New
York the past three weeks. arrived home
night before last. An EAGLE reporter laugh
incly inquired if he had spent all that time
buying goods.
"well, no, not exactly" said Mr.. Hender.

The foregoing was written in the morning

A GOOD CHANGE.

The school board have instituted q reform
in the matter of copy books this year that
will result in largo saving to those having
children at the schools.
Last year the pupils had to furnish their
own copy books. They bought books with
engraved head lines which cost Is cents
each, and which are not suitable for theSrsc-
teal course pursued in the schools. They
also used exercise books that cost 30 cents
each. OF these each pupil used from three
to five of the lucent books, amounting to
As cents for the term for the lower grade and
IS cents for the higher. They also had to
buy an exercise book costing 30 cents, thus
costing each pupil from IS cents to Sl.05 q
year for copy books. Under the new ar
rsngement, the school board furnishes the
books and pens at cost, thus saving q
large amount to the patron;
Of the schools. They furnish 6
copy-book of twenty-four pages for 81
each, OF which three will be enough for the
year, amounting to 15c also an exercise
book of forty-eight pages Tor loo each, max
| ing 3Oc in all. Now it is estimated tha
the lower grade can be furnished under thi
arrangement, with pens, ink and paper fo
zoe for the whole term and 40c for the high
er grade, while last year it cost 75c for tn
lower grade and Sl.05 for the higher, thu
making saving of 55c for each pupil in tn
lower grade, and Csc for each in the highe
grade. The average number using book
will be about 500. Now supposing tina
to be equally divided between the tw'
grades, we have $50 of each. At 55c savinI
each on the lower grade, the total savini
will be S402.50, and on the whole numbe
in the higher grade, S477.5O, or total saw
ing to the 1900 pupils of $3.50, which is
very important matter.

NO MORE RAILROAD.

Colonel Murdoch has been barely able TO
remain at his post for month past, and,
under the advice of his physician, let up
yesterday and went TO the country. He left
strict injunctions that not even an exchange
should be forwarded to him. Those who
have been of late intimsting to him Il desire
to pulverise his local staff are cordially in
vited to call at their convenience.
The local side of the EAGLE acknowledge
the receipt of ticket TO the grand social
ball given for the benefit of the German
Evangelist Lutheran church, TO come off al
the opera house, Monday evening, Septem-
Der 21st, 1885. The affair is to be one OF
of pleasant enjoyment, and for the occasion
the very best musical talent OF the city has
been engaged, and where the young people
can trip fairy-like in the mazes OF the
dance in unison with charming strains OF
the band.

FRUIT CULTURE.


A reporter met Mr.. Martin Heller, the
other day, who showed him a very fue
luscious almond, which he said he found on
the ground in Mr.. W. 5. Corbet's garden.
1t was a very fine specimen of that fruit and
gave evidence of the soil and climate of this
valley being well adapted to the culture OF
that fruit. Mr.. Heller gave the reporter
lengthy lecture on the subject of fruit cul-
tnre. He referred to the immense quanti-
ties of pears, peaches, plums. cherries and
othar fruits tina. are yearly imported from
California and other places to this city and
maintained that nearly everything in that
line we receive from abroad could be raised
at home and the money kept here. Mr..
Heller's idea is to cut the land in all this
valley up into fine fruit farms, andto supply
not only our own local trade but all the
towns tributary to our city. lie thinks II
would be by far the most profitable farming

The benevolent work of the home, though
only in its infancy, is beginning to be felt.

ry Gayman, whose home is at Elkhart, Ind,
was taken into the home. He had typhoid
malarial fever and was treated by DI. Min
nick, and cared for by the matron of the
institution, until he was able to go home.
He left for his home on the morning train
day before yesterday. He expressed bis
gratitude for the kind treatment he had
received in the highest terms. The people
of Wichita should be liberal with this insti-
tuition

while at the parsonage where they engaged
in singing and social enjoyment, they left
for their respective homes with the blessing
of the grateful pastor and his good lady
The party consisted of about sixteen young
gentlemen and ladies.
