Among the many pleasant events OF
Christmas observances was that of the
celebration, Thursday evening, at the Re
form School The spacious chapel had
been very tastefully decorated with ever
greens for the occasion. Christmas trees
covered the stage, and from the branches
of each hung every variety of Christmas
gifts. The parents of siNty-seVen boys
and seventeen girls had been invited by
Mrs. fairbank To remember the children
on this occasion, and from the generous
response we should infer that most of
them had improved the opportunity to
add TO the pleasure Of the boys and girls
With thoughtful consideration for those
who had been overlooked, Supcrintend-

We have just heard that that
veteran soldier and pripce of gentle
men. r. l.. Walker. has been removed
from the land Office al Wichita, to
make room for that moss-back, Frank
Dale, whom we have known for years
as low grade Democrat, and tenth
rate man, who, after filing on claim
in Sedgwick county, found he was too
lazy 10 work, loafed around q lawyers
awhile and turned out an orator. But
the topknot of this red headed
pettifoger has been bobbing up in
every Democratic convention for the
last ten years, and to rev ard him for
his work he had to have a place, for
that purpose. X. l.. Walker, q man
that, when a boy, served his country
four years and six months rs a SOL
der, promoted for his gallsntry, and
now carries rebel lead in his body had
to be removed. We suppose had
Walker carried the rebel lead in his
cartridge box instead of receiving il in
his young flesh for his couhtry's sake,
he would not have been removed. But
perhaps ingalls, and Plumb won't have
something TO say about the confirma-
ton of this red-hesded galoot, and
that mountain of flesh is not sure OF
the place yet-Stafiiord Herald.

Charley Murphy tells us that in a
rise.of the Smoky Hill few weeks
aeo, fully four hundred dead hogs
hoated by his place. II seems TO lis
that farmers living along a stream
ought 10 be mutually interested in
suppressing THE outrage. There is an
unusual and general fatality among
hogs all thu ough this region, and es-
pecialiy so on bottom farms, and Who
knows but that this practice is respon-
sible for the whole of it. Murphy
burns his dead hogs. and he is getting
out of patience with class of farmers
who load the streams with carcasses,
spreading disease along their whole
length. If an example was made of a
few il might call the attention of all
to the Nervousness of the oficnse.

CHENEY GATHERINGS.

CHENEY. Kas., Aug. 10, 1885.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
More through neglect than for want
of news Cheney items have not ap-
peared for nearly week. Nothing
of grea. Importance has happened
during this time except the fact that
we had nice shower Saturday night
which certainly did much good for
the corn. Farmers northwest of us
complain about the corn drying up,
while in any other direction the crops
look fine and promise an abundant
yield.
We are glad to say that business is
also increasing here. MIR. Howe, the
successor of ID. j. Chatfield, has now
taken charge Of his store, and we ex-
tend to him hearty welcome, wish
ing him success in business.
Mr.. Wingert, who was formerly in
terested in the POstOffice drug store,
has purchased half interest in ID. T.
Tull's furniture store and skating
rink.
Your correspondent, "NemO," at
Goddard was entirely mistaken in the
belief that the umpire at the base ball
game played last week at Goddard,
between the Cheney and Goddard
boys, had any bets made. We are as
sured that he has acted square and
fair, as his position required, and We
do not doubt that the Goddard club is
fully satisfied about it now.
The Second nine, of Goddard, was
here Saturday to play game with the
Cheney second nine, which latter
came out considerably ahead.
The memorial service yesterday was
ably conducted by Rev. SandersOn,
but only fairly attended. The stores
all closed from 2 O'Clock to4.
Mr.. Hays, of Haysvillc, was in town
looking after his interests in the mill
here. The property has been lying
idle for some time, but Mr.. Hays
thinks something will be done to start
the mill up in the near future. A
good mill is what we need.
