"Now, want to tell you something, and
l don't care if you give it oway either" said
an officer TO an EAGLE reporter yesterday.
"All right, fire awayw said the scribe.
"Well. you see, some time ago there was
a big kick made about SO many joints run
ming, and the county attorney tackled the
probate judge about his druggists and
granting permits, and all that. Now
said Mr.. Balderston, If the druggists don't
sell liquors to these joint keepers, they will
be compelled to close up All right said
Judge Jewett 4 will try and put a stop to
that
"The probate Judge then had two promi-
nent druggists brought up and be informed
them of the state Of things and told them if
they continued to furnish the joints. be
would revoke their permits in thirty days
without further notice. These druggists
have not since supplied any Of the joints,yet
there are as many, if not more, joints on tap
now than ever before.
Il tell you, the suppression of theee joints
is out Of the question so long as the rail-
roads continue to deliver full, undisguised,
barrels Of whiskey TO men who are well
known to have always been in the saloon
business, simply on their affidavit that it is
for their own use."

THE BOOMER HIEF.

Capt. w. l. Couch, the well-knowr
boomer chieftain, accompanied by bis lieu
tenant, W. F. Brown, passed south on the
Santa Fe yesterday morning.
captain, how are the boomers" asked Q
representative of the EAGLE.
20, we are feeling first-rate," said Couch
II think everything is working out all
right"
"Has the organization disbandeds"
by no means; we have dispersed tempo
rarily TO await developements.b but the organ
ization is on as solid footing, and perhaps
better than ever before"
"In answer to question be said:
II have been in Missouri, Illinois and
Iowa, and our friends all look confidently to
the opening in the near future, not only of
Oklahoma, but Of the Cherokee strip and
all the unoccupied lands Of the territory, for
settlement, not particularly in the interests
of the boomers, but in the interest of all
citizens desiring homes"
81 regard the action of the government in
expelling csttlemen as q step IN the right
direction. 1t removes the only interest pre-
judicial to that end and am confident the
administration intends following up that
step until tue desired end is reached. The
cattlemen were intruders - well as we and
as long as they were allowed there. was
determined TO keep booming, knowing that
we were nc more trespassers than they.
Now that they are removed we are satisfied
to wait"
Don't you think that it will require an
act Of congress to open the Territory for
actual settlement
Mot in the case Of Oklahoma. / think
the commission will decide that it is part
of the public domain and that the title is
not in the Indians. / am satisfied from
what learned Of the Indian policy of the ad-
ministrstion, while in Washington and since
that Mr.. Cleveland intends TO open all the
Territory, not set aside by special treaty for
the benefit Of such tribes as the Cherokees
and few Others who cultivate their lands
aud have occupied them for long time, for
actual settlement and the president has said,
that whatever else be may fail in he was de-
termined to stick TO bis Indian policy"
Couch said said further, that the admins
tration nor the party could afford to lose
this opportunity to make them solid with the
masses. The only thing be appears to dread
is that congress may declare the leases valid.
Should such be done and the csttlemen be
allowed 20 contidue in the enjoyment Of
their leases, tden booming will begin streng-
er than ever.

PooRHousE PICTURES,

| We have frequently had occasion to speal
Of our poorhouse and of those who gain ad
mission there, many of whom expect much
more than they ever had outside its walls
A large and hrgaly interesting book nigh,
be written on the subject. During the past
three weeks or possibly month, two young
men named VIM. and John Hanley have
been occupants of this hospitable institution
and yesterday gentleman gave an EAGLE
reporter an interesting sketch of the pair
and the presumption Of one Of them. 1t
will be remembered that about a month
ago the trustee at Cheney sent VIM. Hanley,
who was then quite sick, to the poorhouse
in this city. He was accom-
panied by his brother John,
who was admitted to the institution
to take care of his brother. The gentleman
referred to said it was learned that the man
got sick in Cowley county, where he had
liyed for some time and that he went from
there to Kingman where he remained for
some time. From Kingman he came to
Cheney where he had been only couple of
days when application was made for re-
ceiving him into the county institution an
accordingly he was brought here as stated
accompanied by his brother. Now if this
story be true he nor his brother had no |
claim for support on Sedgwick county.
But to cap the climax, Mr.. Stewart, the |
Of the poor house informed
the brother John the other day that his
brother WIS now able to take care
Of himself and that he had better
look out for himself and get something to
do, whereupon he asked for pay for taking
care of his brother. This Mr.. Stewart very
properly refused. when the fellow told him
there would be trouble if be did not get
pay. 1t is further said that he came down
town asking DR.. Mccullough and A. w.
Oliver to sign paper granting him pay.
This our informant thought this was the
cap sheap of presumption and indeed it
looks that way in the light of all the circum-
stances

o. H. Bentley returned Sunday morning
from Dodge City where he had been called
on business connected with the Cattle King
railway. This is new line which the cat.
tlemen propose to build from Dodge City
to Englewood. Mr.. Bentley is the attorney
for the company. This line will be fifty.
one miles long and will be almost purely 9
cattle road. 1t is believed that its yearly
shipments will aggregate 100000 head.
While in Dodge City party was made up
which visited Englewood, the new town on
the Territory line in Clark county. Engie-
wood Is laid out on the plan of Wichita, it
had the Douglas avenue and Main street.
The town contains at present sixty-two
buildings, among others the Cattle King
hotel, containing forty rooms and costing
$500, Englewood was laid out by Messrs.
Friend & Osborn, of this city,. Many
Wichita men are now there. E. A. Reinan
is running thrifty real estate Office there
and Mr.. John Gordon is building two fine
business blocks in the town. Clark county
is growing fast; thrifty and prosperous towns
are growing; Ashland, Englewood, Vests
and Appleton are prosperous and growing
trading points. Mr.. Bentley saw sod
corn growing in Clark county
which will yield forty bushels
per acre. Mead county, directly west of
Clark county, is growing very fast. r. L.
Walker, Of Wichita; Mr.. Lindsey, of An
thony; Capt Nip, of Winfield; Hon. F. E.
Gillette, OF Kingman; Hon. Radolph, Hat
field and many others ia Sedgwick, Butler.
Cowley and Summer counties are actively
interested in Clark and Mead counties,
have properly interests there, and real estate
in the growing towns. The soil of CLARK
and Mead counties is apparently - fine as
Sedgwick caunty, and the rainfall this year
in these counties has been greater than in
Ssdgwick county. Among the party from
Dodge City to Englewood was Messrs.
Severy and Purcell, directors of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, with
their engineer. The Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe evidently proposes to occupy that
territory. They had driven carefully over
the line from Dodge City to Englewood -
surveyed by the Cattle King railroad COM
pany's corps of engineers.
