HAPPY HARPER.
70 the Editor of the Daily Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Daily Eagle:
The citizens of Harper are very aux-
ious TO enlist the aid OF Wichita to-
wards getting direct railroad con-
neciion with this city. and there should
be no reason WHY Wichita cannot re-
spond quite literally in helping them
build the road.
There is no better. brighter or more
substantial business towns in all of
western Kansas, than the beautiful
city of Harper with its four thousand
inhabitants: aud direct railroad con-
neciion such as they desire, would in
crease the trade of our wholesale mer-
chants by thousands of dollars annual
~.
In recent interview with some of
the leading business men of Harper.
the writer was informed that their
railroad proposition included two dis
tincl plans. The first one is road TO
Conway Springs, or To some other
available point. and TO such Harper
would be good for fifty thousand dol
lars in subsidies. The second propo-
sition is an air line from Wichita TO
Harper and Anthony. and in case of
this road beng built, the county bonds
and other aid would amount 10 one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The reasons for an independent line
through Harper county are very evil

picion, and brought before A. W.
Snyder, justice of the peace, who
released him on bail until Monday
morning, when he will have a hear
ing.
Our court has large docket to
clear to morrow, there being some
other miner cases pending. and still
there seems to be prospects for more
new cases.
An attempt to blackmail one OF
our best citizens was made last Satur-
day by an individual whose mind Is
evidently crazed, or who is rascal OF
the deepest dye. Particulars about
this probably later.

REPUBLICAN, TICKET.
MR.. GOULC'S KANSAS SYSTEM.

The Times has the following COM
munication from Wichita. II is from
a reliable source, and we commend il
to the consideration of our Kansas
CITY readers:
WICHITA. Has, Oct. 16.-Jay Gould
his sou George Gould, ii. NJ. Hoxic
and j. w. Miller, general manager of
the ST. Louis, For. Scott and Wichita
railway, with other officials of the
Missouri Pacific, passed through This
city last evening on special train en-
route for Fcrt Scott. The party have
inspected the entire line of the s..
Louis, Fort Scott and Wichita railway
from Fort Scott TO Anthony. lis
present terminus. This line will be
built as far west as Englcwood, Clark
county, during next summer, and VIII
eventually extend 20 Trinidad, Colo
RADIO. Building on the Wichita and
Colorado line, new railway from this
city TO Larned will begin during the
next ten DAYS. This latter line will be
another branch of the Missouri Pacific
system in southern Kansas, and, with
the ST. Louis, Fort Scott and Wichita
railway. will form continuous line
from St. Louis to Denver. Indications
point strongly TO Wichita becoming
the headquarters of the Missouri Pa
cific system in Kansas.
Mr.. Gould certainly showed Wichita
marked attention, and after looking
at his Kansas system, which Is brlst-
ling with new line, he went on 10 st.
Louis and Chicago. Kansas City was
left. Is usual, falling to turn TO its own
account any advantage that might
have been derived from Mr.. Gould 5
western trip.
Meantime little of the business in
the territory covered by the Missouri
Pacific in Kansas is going around two
sides OF a triangle TO get to Kansas
CITY. We are too busy buying and
selling real estate among ourselves TO
care a fig about trade. ST. Louis is
toiling her toe-liHe TO our territory
faster and faster all the while.
a plague upon your railroad con-
nectious, Devil take your exposi-
ton, Hurrah for the cable lines and
the consequent boom in real estate.
Down with trade, Up with corner
lots. That is the cry from the kaw to
the Blue.
The sky-rOcket Will 1lZZlc out some
of these days There will be a con-
vulsIon. aud then paralysis will lay its
cold hand upon us. There will be no
trade. for the railroads will center here
only nominalIy; but with lines all
around US. will shut Us out without
redemption. The real estate sp cula-
tors will be whooping it up some
where else, Tut the solid men who
have their money in business will have
TO suffer.
With this fate staring Us in the face,
shall we do nothing to avert it? Wake
up. gentlemen. Shake of this lethar-
gv. Extcrminatc this dry rot that is
destroying u, Unless there is a res
olution here our boosted destiny will
be as "a tale that is told.-kansas City
Times.
Mr. Gould certa inly showed Wich-
ita marked attention" Well, we
should smile: but if the Times only
knew all the attention, what he said
and did, il would make the Times man
turn pale.
Mr.. Gould knows good thing when
he sees il. and the Wichita Il Colorado
line caught his eagle eye and he smiled

To The Editor OF the Eagle.
In keeping with my desire to write
alone of GOOD times and that which
pertains To- the welfare and prosperity
of our little town. have with pain
full anxiety awaited the long wished
for and welcome termination and exit
of the last dull and dreary day of this
stagnaiion for the dawn of brighter
day that is sure to come sooner or lat
er. The cheering and hOpe-inspiriDg
presence of the honest yeomanry has
been withdrawn to the wheat seeding
and the corn husking fields, we think,
long enough, and, although the hog
market forms no induccment for them
TO leave their retirement, yet the
price offered for new corn has brought
about few sales, which will be deliv-
cred in the near future, thank the
Lord and joyfully will we how-d'y'-
do them. l tell you our energetic and
rustling firm of swine dealers, Messrs.
Fleshman g. Whitmore, who have
been for the last month
or so, punching bovines aud feeding
swine will then return TO the scales
and then the old steady and reliable
firm of cattle, hogs and grain buyers,
Messrs Henderson, Barwiste & Sans
will, has something TO keep the blood
in circulation.
improvements are still going on
Notwithstanding the gloomy moments.
The spire of our nice new Baptist
church lifts its finished head looks out
across the beautiful distance inviting
attention. Several private residences

the Presbyterian church is Row in
progress at said church here We are
informed he is to be the pastor OF the
Presbyterian church of Derby. and
from what we are enabled TO learn of
him we must congratulate the church
upon its good fortune in procuring
him.
Our town was enliveued on Satur-
day by the gayesf, handsomest and
most courteous group of drummers
we have had for quite while, among
whom was the fine-Iooking represen-
tatiye of the popular McComb Bros.

LOVES REASONS.

Why do love my darling so?
Good faith, my heart, ! hardly know,
have such store of reasons;
'Twould take me all summer day
Nay, saying half that could say
Would fill the circling seasons.
Because her eyes are softly brown,
My dove, who quietly hath flown
To me as to her heaven?
Because her hair is soft, and laid
Madonna-wise in simple braid,
And jetty as the raven?
Because her lips are sweet to touch.
Not chill. not fiery overmuch,
But softly warm as roseSf
Dear lips that chasten while they move.
Lips that man may dare to love
Till earthly love-time closes2
Because her hand is soft and white,
OF touch 80 tender and SO light
That where her slender fingers
Doth fall or move, the man to whom
he guards of Eden whispered Como 4"
Beneath its spell might linger?
Because her heart is women-soft,
So true, SO tender, that oft
Do marvel that a treasure,
SO rich. so rare, to me should fnll,
Whose sole desert-so small, so small,
Is-loving past all measure2
Because she has such store of moods,
20 archly smiles, so staidly broods,
So lovingly caresses;
So that my heart may never tire
OF monotone, or more desire
Than she, my love, possesses?
All, me what know or what care n
Or what hath love TO do with "why2"
How simple is the reasonl
! love her-fOr she is my love,
And shall while stars shall shine above,
And reason fellow reason.

say they cannot, as thousands of cases

In compliance with regulations, and
pursuant to the custom of our order.
Saturday, May Both, will be observed
by the Posts of this Department as a
Memorial Day, in commemoration Of
the glorious deeds of our fallen com.
rades. On that day, as we assemble
in the 'silent camping grounds" of
our dead, to garland their graves with
springs brightest flowers, and again
raise above them the flag their valor
saved from dishonor let us also re-
member that great army of heroes
who sleep in unnumbered but not
forgotten graves, in the tangled
thicket, on the rocky mountain side,
or by the stream where they fell. And
as we recall their tolls, their suffer
ings and their heroism, let us renew
our pledges of fraternity toward each
other of charity for the widows and
orphans they have left as a sacred
charge upon a nations gratitude; and
of loyalty to our country, and to our
glorious flag, whose broad stripes and
bright stars are an emblem of liberty
to the oppressed, and beneath whose
folds every union soldiers grave is an
altar of patriotism"
1t is recommended that arrange
ments be made for Memorial Ser
vice in some one of the churches on
the preceding Sabbath, which the
Post can attend in body; and that
an invitation be extended to all sol.
diers, Sons of Veterans, Woman's Re-
lief Corps and citizens generally, to
unite with the Grand Army on that
day in paying tribute to the memory
of those who fell in defence of ma.
tional unity.
Post Adjutants will forward to these
Headquarters, a copy of their local pa.
pers, reporting the observance of the
day, with such other information per.
tanning thereto as may be of assist
ance to the Department Chaplain in
preparing his report for our next an

pany and regiment of such comrades
us may be mustered out by death dur.
ing the year, with brief sketch Of
their lives, military and Grand Army
services, should also be forwarded fol

order.
Comrades, do not neglect this i'm
portant duty for soon the last vete
ran will hear the sound of "lights

We are glad to welcome Mr.. II, B.
Shaw, of Chicago, once more to Island
Pond, and trust his stay here will be a
pleasant and enjoyable one. Consid-
cradle skill is necessary this cold
weather to entice the trout from their
quiet hooks, but Mr.. Shaw, however,
rarely gets left, and the big string
brought in by him last Tuesday shows
that he has not yet forgotten the art
of angling.
