A CHEEKY FRAUD.

! A gay young man came here short time
ago and pretended to be a capitalist, de-
tective, Snowman, and lots of other things
in short, he was going to make thugs lively
in Wichita. He began to agitate a variety
show boom, and it will br remembered tina,
two or three communications appeared in
the BEACON on that subject. He began op.
erations by hiring the matchmaker who
works in VIM. Kassel's jewelry establish.
ment, to be his business manager. He was
willing 10 pay liberal salary. but required
his employee 10 put up small sum-S25 as
an evidence of good faith. This the new
manager did, as the story is told, and the
bargain was made. He gave the manager
instructions to hire girls and launch the va
riety troop-to buy lumber to fix up the
hall, which he said would be in the building
occupied by Harding & Fisher. We under
stand he went to the Chicago Lumber Co. IS
Office and bought SS4 worth Of lumber. He
city, but paid nothing on it. He next rented
it and obtained SO forfeit from the renter,
but here his brilliant career ended. for when
the renter went to look about his farm, he
found that the fellow had no title to it. He
was arrested Yesterday on the complaint of
his would-be tenant and brought before
Justice Thomas. The case WAS adjourned
until the 9TH inst, and in default of bail q
mittimus was issued and the big Snowman
and real estate owner now lsnguishes in
John Fishers bastile. Too bad.

KIN0MAN:KERNALs.
KINGMAM, KS, Jan. 5. 'so.

KINGMAM, rs, Jan. 3. 's5.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
The Courier keeps insisting that Joseph
Chesterfield Mackin, the Philadelphia bum,
bar tender, confidence man, and political
tricster, and Under indictment now in Chica-
go, for fraud in the 18th ward of that city,
is brother of Mrs. Carter II. Harrison.
Nothing could be more absurd. Mrs. Harri-
son is the second wife of g. II. Harrison and
the daughter of Marcus C. Storms, an old
and wealthy citizen of Chicago. The writer
has known her family for nearly thirty years
intimately, and knows whereof he speaks,
and no lady stands higher in Chicago than
Mrs. Carter Harrison and she should not be
associated with so low character as Mack
lin.
The adjourned temperance meeting of two
weeks ago, was well attended tonight. The
house being crowded even to the standing
room DR.. Graves read very interesting
paper on the physical effect of spirits upon
the human system. He was followed by
Messrs. Leslie, Bacon and Kinsie. Music BY

VIM. II. Bushnell was arrested on Friday
and fined for disturbing the peace. His un-
called for assault and obuse upon an old
friend is something to be deplored. That his
eyes are in mourning is to be expected.
That it will take several days before it will
be necessary to remove the Grape can be &C
counted for from the hitting qualities of the

NEW YEARS DAY.

The new year was ushered in bright and
frosty. The day was pretty generally OBJ
served as holiday.
Most all the retail stores were kept open
during the forenoon, but The volume of
trade was exceedingly slim. The amuse-
ments were principally calling, which we
believe was pretty general, and sleighing.
1t was surprising to see the number Of
sleighs out and amusing TO witness the
variety of styles. While all manner Of crude
rigs could be seen dashing along, the occu-
pants muffled up like Lsplanders, being
done up in furs and soft wooden wraps, be-
nice turnouts of the genuine northern style,
and many temporary rigs, in the makeup
of which much ingenuity was exhibited.
On several of the streets the sleighing was
very good, and there were numerous hot
dashes and trials of speed. The sleighing
was the great source of amusement and
everybody enjoyed it.
Not thing occurred to our knowledge
that the most vivid imagination could por-
tray as an interesting item Of news.
Aside from the New Years calls ard the
sleighing, there was nothing at all Of gen.
eral interest At the rink there were num-
Der of skaters and bicycle riders enjoying
themselves, but it didn't interest or amuse
the deponent. Last night local and a
visiting team held skating contest for q
medal and the state roller skate champion
ship.
A very few farmers were in the city, and
there were no markets to speak of. The
wheels of the justices courts were locked;
the justices were taking a day off and the
lawyers were out hunting jack-rabbits.
One real business limb Of the law came in
just before dark with very nice string of
rabbits, wild geese, coyotes, prairie dogs, a
reindeer, two buffaloes, six wild cats, one
hyena, grizzly bear, boa constructor and
two Indians. The rest have sent in no re-
port yet, but surely they must have done
better than that.
Johnny Clayton's bull pups grabbed
loose of big New Foundland dorg and
made him howl, and Fritz Snitzler's mon
key freed chap from the Indian territory.
Happy New Year.

OUR BANKS.

Two more of Wichita's banks publish ii
this issue sworn statements of their condi
tons in pursuance of call from the comp
troller of the currency, the Wichita Nation
al and the Kansas National. Despite the
growing about prostration and close times
it is an undeniable fact that there is no lack
of money, so far as the banks are concern
ed. The present stress has nothing in COM
mon with the depression of 1873, when so
many banks and firms went to the wall.
Then money could not be had at any price
or any security. Now bank vaults almost
everywhere show a surplus of currency. Mr..
NJ. W. Levy, the cashier of the Wichita
National informs us that the national banks
of New York city alone, last week, had on
hand S45,OOO,OOO more money than their
resources, under the law, called for. 1t
seems to us that all that is necessary to re-
vive business and start in renewed era of
good times all along the line is little more
confidence in the future, some guaranty
that the Democratic party will do nothing
rash touching the monetary system and the
tariff laws of the country, but an assurance
of a conservative course of policy.

For the EAGLE
TO MRS. n. Z. LEASE.
My sister the bright streams of Erin,

My sister the bright streams of Erin,
Have some hope in their sparkle and shine
The shamrocks glad green are wearing,
In the land that is mine and is thine.
The lark from the green sod upspringing.
Heavens light on his fiuttcring wings;
Feels gladness in soaring and singing,
For it is a new song that he sings.
No longer with sore lamentations,
Erin sits with her green banner furied;
She is heard in the congress Of notions,
In the parliament Of the wide world.
Her voice will grow louder and stronger,
SO that right will prevail over might;
What hsc been can happen no longer,
Wrong dies when dragged out to the light.
Erin lifts up her head with the living,
Maker Of the dumb anguish of year;
And the daisies look up with thanksgiving
Blushing crimson with joy through Their
tears.
If VIC have but one word of cheering,
Verse to write, deed to do, song to sing;
For the love of our dear mother Erin,
Let us hasten our tribute to bring.
Let us carry our colors about US,
Plead her cause through applauses and
frowns;
Lest the laurels be gathered without us,
And we share not the palm-woven crowns

ANOTHER STREET RAILWAY.

For some time past it has been known by
at least few persons that there was hen
on, and that the animated incubator was
liable to hatch and bring to life another
street railway. Yesterday the scheme was
perfected far enough to give the facts to the
public and it can now be announced that d
line of street railroad will tap the main line
at the intersection of Main street and Doug
las avenue, will run south on Main to Lin
coin, thence east to Lawrence avenue, re-
turning over the same route.
Major Powell is at the head of the move
ment and is ably seconded by property own
ers along the proposed line and others, some
of whom are persons of means. The money
necessary to be raised for this
purpose is nearly all subscribed, and it will
be pushed to completion by the first of
June.
AT the present rate of bringing forward
street railways our city will soon be COM
pletely surrounded and thoroughly provided
with this cheap and convenient means of
progression, the value Of property will be
enhanced thereby and the city will have
made another step in the way of metropoli-
tan progression.

PRArTLINGs FROM PRATT.

PRATT CENTER, Dec. 81.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:
We heartily sympathize with the man
who came into store mouthing to himself
Tropical, tropical climate! Southern Kansas,
tropical climate. Thursday, the Both, was
the most disagreeable, if not the coolest day
of the season, it showing and drifting the
entire day. Notwithstanding the severe
snow storms Green's Cannon-ball departs
and arrives on time, distributing the mails to
the several Offices along its route with a reg
ularity for which it deserves credit, bringing
us Christmas and New Years greeting from
many and dear friends, among Others the
newsy EAGLE, with its Christmas stories,
pleasant puns, and last, but not least, the
laughable illustration of its Christmas tur-
key. Long may he be waited on his grand
and noble mission westward-(not the
turkey, but the EAGLE).
The winter frosts bring them to IT, Mr.
Grist Carlander, our gentlemanly banker, if
rumor is true, has gone to Mcpherson with
the intention of returning with a helpmeet,
having concluded at is not well for man to
be alone" We tender our most cordial
congratulations.
We understand that all the saloons in the
city of Pratt were closed yesterday. The
cause seems to have been selling liquor to
the wrong man.
We are going to have skating rink on
short notice-if talking will build it.

TIE FRISCO waEcx.

Further particulars of the wreck on the
Frisco road near Severy, mentioned n yw-
terday's EAGLE, are to the e6bst that no.
body was killed outright although the IN all
agent and another man Win probably die.
The train had just left the station and had
got under full speed going down grsdr. At
that point is an embsnkment of considerable
hight, where the train left the track. The
cause was broken axel, and the whole
train, except the engine, left the track and
was precipitated down the embankmcnt
and almost all demolished. The mail car
took fire and was consumed with its con-
tents. Several rods of the track was torn
up, which ives the cause of delaying the
west bound train.
The mail agent, the news-boy and 4 pas
senger were severely injured, while num-
Der of others were more or less seriously
hurt. One who visited the scene Of the &C.
cident yesterday said it is . matter Of grea.
surprise that large number Of the passen-
gers were not killed and MANNED. 1t APP
peared almost miraculous that SO few were
seriously injured.

RESOLUTION OF RESPECT

The following resolutions were adopted
by the Burlington Ministerial association, at

WHEREAS, Our highly esteemed brother,
Rev. Joel Harper, has been called to take
charge of another field of labor, and is
about to remove from our midst, therefore

sellor and active co-laborer in all our I'M
dertakings for the good of the cause of re-
ligion in our midst and in all our plans for
the moral benefit of our community.

lations to the religions, moral, social, educa-
tional and benevolent enterprises of our city,
he has won the esteem of all those who have

ole spirit has endeared him to the members
of this association as brother whom we
shall eve. remember with the warmest feel
ings of confidence and affection.

qualities for usefulness may find ample OPP
portunities for exercise, and those to whom

HATFIELD HAULS.
To the Editor of the Eagle

To the Editor of the Eagle
HATFIELD, Kas., Jan, /, 1885.
send youa few items from old Unior
hoping they will interest some of your many
readers. This weather is exceedingly colo
for Kansas. The thermometer marked Il
degrees below zero this morning
A good many farmers are burning corn
They think it cheaper than coal.
We are all complaining of hard times
with graneries and cribs full, but prices are
so low we do not sell unless obliged to,
hoping that after the 4th of March every
thing will boom.
One of my neighbors had what he called
good luck (but 1 should call it bad). He
bought three gallons of McPrier whisky in
Wichita that cost $1,000. On his way home
the demijohn broke and away went the con-
tents. He says he made vow that he would
never buy any more whisky.
notice that the citizens of the west side
of the Arkansas river are wide awake to
their interests, as there are two or three pc
titions in circulation protesting against the
county board granting the right of way to
street car company across the county
bridge at Wichita l don't believe there are
ten men west of Wichita but what will sign
the remonstrance if they have an oppor-
tunity.
The little town of Hatfield is still growing.
Mccain has built a building, put in a
French burr and is prepared to grind corn
for meal and wheat for Graham -four, which
makes it very convenient.
The contract is let and lumber on the
ground for hardware store 25x4O, two
stories high.
We have upwards of twenty buildings.
We need drug store very much.
We have two doctors and but little sick
ness. They would hav ample time to write
prescriptions for those who are in need of a
little something to keep out the cold, then
the Greedy township boys could come this
way instead of st. Marks to warm up.
We have an organization called the Union
Township Mutual Protective society. 1t is
made up of some of the best men of the
township. The intention of the society is TO
give to all thieves their just dues, especially
those that steal halters. All horses that are
by the society are registered and
branded on the front fore feet with letter
). The society meets once month at |
Hatfield.
We feel confident that VIC will see the iron |
horse glide through Hatfield by the LIST of
June. OBSERVER.

THE CITY LIBRARY

A lady writes rs that but for the lack of n
little time she would have walked up an
EAGLE reporter as well as correspondent
of the Beacon on the city library question.
Fiction and boys books indeed" she
writes, there is heavy reading enough in
that library to floor all the divines, lawyers,
doctors and Woman s-righters in the town"
Our fair correspondent is correct and but
for the same want of time we should have
set right ere this the false impression left by
our reporter, who even got the location of
that institution in the wrong building. The
library contains several hundred volumes,
in which history, the arts and sciences, and
religion are all well represented. As to the
line of miscellaneous works, large per cent.
were selected by one of the finest and most
acute literary men that Kansas affords. As
for the management of the institution, we
believe ii is above criticism. 1t was set on
its feet by well known prominent
gentlemen of this town whose enthusiasm
for its success died out years ago. But the
ladies took up the cause and by great sacri-
fees and much gratuitous labor, through
entertainments given and donations made,
have not only practically increased Its size,
preserved the original stock in wonderful
manner, but kept up the interest among its
patrons. And there are more people who
have an interest in that library than the av-
erage new conner dreams Of Ii
is located on one side of the
the reception room of Baldwin & Ostegren's
photo rooms, in very pleasant and nicely
furnished quarters where on Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons of every week, winter
and summer, not only the librarian but one
or more of the lady directors can be met.
To these. who have never allowed their in
terest to flag and who have never complain
ed Of the work or responsibility the city is
indebted for so much as thanks if not graf
itude. In conclusion We say the
EAGLE is for the old library, for its mana
gers and in favor of not only supporting but
building it up into much grander proper
tons. We care not how many Libraries and
reading rooms may be started in special in
terests, the fact still remains that the old is
the first love and in every way worthy the
and support Of all unpreju
diced citizens.

UDALL UTTERANcES.

| UDALL, Jan. =, 1885.
| To the Editor Of the Eagle:
1t is estimated that $4,000 were invested
in Udall during the year 1884.
The G. A. r. Post ofthis place gave q ball
and supper at Aker's hall New Years
night. 1t was largely attended and grand
time was had.
The thermometer indicated ten below zero
early last Thursday morning. 1t was the
coolest it has been here this winter.
The contract has been let for building a
Touring mill at Kellogg, little village a
few miles south of Udall.
here this spring. 1: is to be hoped that the
worst of the hard times is past.
A party of Liabilities left during the week
for the territory on hunting bout.
Their most ardent hunting will likely be for
comfortable quarters and warm fire.
Smith & Hildebrand, general merchants
have been shipping vast quantities of game.
Our hunters bring in chickens, quails and
rabbits by the wagon loads.
A skating rink would do well here.
Several of our young ladies gave leap
year party at the residence of Jas. T. Dole's
New Years eve. The young gentlemen
greatly enjoyed the novelty of being escort
ed around by the gentle sex. As vet we
have not heard of any of the young ladies
taking advantage of the year and making
matrimonial propositions to the young men.
Our business men are invited by the city
clerk to meet him at the city hall, Saturday,
January 8, to pay their license tax, as re-
quired in ordinance IL.
Mrs Frank Saunders, who has been very
sick for some days past, is now GONZALES
cent.
There is an opening here for some GO
ahead parties to put up ice for use next
summer.
Master Masons in good standing are re-
quested to meet at DIR. G. f. Knickerbock-
er's Office next Wednesday evening to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of organizing lodge
