MORE ABOUT SHEEP.

Reuben Hoffman, sold in this city few
days ago the wool from 225 sheep that
sheared eleven pounds 10 the head. This
lot Of wool sold for sixteen cents here and was
bought by Mr.. keneda for Langenberg
Bros. ~ Co, of II. Louis. These sheep are
a part of the flock bought of Fox & Askew
and are about as good sheep as are raised in
Kansas Mr.. Hoffman is one of the most
successful farmers IN this county and his
fine farm in Minneha township, consisting Of
three hundred and twenty acres, is worth a
small fortune. Mr.. Hcifman's success shows
the Importance of raising good stock. This
is a hard year on the sheep men but Mr..
Hoffman will not be likely to loose much
money. One dollar and seventysix cents
per head for the wool from each sheep and
the increase of the flock still on hand does
not look so bad after all

THE SCHOOLS.

a reporter of the EAGLE, in company
and the Fourth ward school, and took n
look over the work being done in each
grade. The closing examinations for the
present term are now in progress in all the
city schools, and the proficiency displayed
in written language, which was the subject
under consideration yesterday, is an excel
lent criterion Of the management Of the
schools As well as the ability of the teachers.
We have not the time to go into details, but
will say that the array of questions which
We saw prepared, III all branches, was ad
m,rably adapted to test the knowledge Of
the pupils in the various branches Of an
English education. In the examinations
yesterday the accurate answers given by al
most every scholar, evidenced thorough
training. The answers were very accurate,
the composition good and the penmsnship
wonderfully fine. Even in the lower grades
the writing is far superior to that of the ma
jority of business men. Parents, patrons
and every one interested in the cause, who
can spare an hour should visit the schools
during those examinations. In TIE High
school Prof. Steffee was found drilling
class of bright young men in the mysteries
Of the Latin language, and they exhibited
wonderful knowledge of the language of
Virgil for scholars SO young. They trans
lated very complicated sentences with as
tonishing readiness.

DEATH OF SAM KrRKWoop.

Silently and unseen as the pale messenger
himself, came creeping over the wires that
reach to the Golden Gate the sorrowful
news that Sam Kirkwood died yesterday
morning.
Only few short weeks ago, in company
with his father, he left his home in Wichita,
hopeful that the more congenial climate of
the Pacific coast would restore him to per-
feet health. But alas how many blighted
hopes, how many broken hearts those sunny
skies shine down upon.
Sam was SO well known in Wichita that
It is almost superfuous TO write aught Of
him, save that life so noble, a character
always lovely, but made perfect through
suffering, is well worth more than passing
mention. AS a lad Sam had strong,
handsome physique and brain that was his
birth-right as a kirkwood. Added to these
was generous, manly spirit, the courteous
manners of gentleman, and the love and
charity that mark the christian. In the
midst of his college career that promised to
oc Di"A'ai' III the iutuie, tiIaL iasiuioHs Toe,
consumption, laid its touch upon his lungs
and ever since waged unequal warfare, until
yesterday the foe was victor. The blow falls
with crushing weight upon the lonely moth
er who idolized her boy. 1t is doubly hard
that she was denied the parting glance; the
last pressure of his cooling lips, and the as
surance that as the light grew dim over the
broad nature outside the Golden Gate,
broader stream of radiance greeted his up
lifted sight shining through the Golden
Gate of the New Jerusalem.

To complete the surroundings of a bust
ness house, or especially a residence, it is
necessary to have nice, handsome sidewalks
and drive, garden and yard walks. There is
nothing more durable Or more handsome

for walks, drives, roofing, etc. They are

WHO STARTED THE COLLEGE

The kingman Leader says that Wichita
was the protector and leader in the new
Methodist College movement. That paper
is correct. The idea at least originated with
Wichita men who bought grounds and al
forwards purchased some lots and build
ing costing $4,000. and actually opened out
one or two departments. As to the site now
proposed the conference demands twenty
acres of land and such an area cannot be Sc
cured within the corporate limits Of this
