BUSINESS.

Yesterday was genuine old fashioned
business Saturday. A large number of
farmers were in town and more grain and
farm produce than on any day during the
month. The streets were thronged all day
and all the stores did splendid trade.
Mr.. F. T. Ives, of Meriden. Conn.,, who
has been guest at the Occidental several
days, said to representative of the EAGLE
that he Just wished he had his wife here yes
terday to witness the rush and hustle and
life Of this city. Mr.. Ives owns considerable
real estate in this city and other portions
Of the state, also in nearly all the
western state. He says no
one need be afraid of business depression
here. for if it is little dull one year, its
ability to recuperate is beyond that of any
place no is acquainted with. He has trav-
eled good deal in this state and has heard
people on the trains and at hotels talking Of
Kansas towns. of Atchison, Leavenworth,
Fort Scott and Topeka, but when some one
speaks of Wichita, they all say, 40! Wichita
is the Chicago of the southwest. 1t is beyond
all question the Invest city in the state"
Wehave frequently written in praise Of our
city and perhaps some may think we carry
the subject too far, but when gentlemen Of
such travelled knowledge of the whole
country as Mr.. ives and hundreds of Others
express themselves in such unmeasured
concentrations of the superiority Of our
city over all others they visit, we may be
excused for commenting on what they say.

WINNING WICHITA.

The Results ola Years Growth.
CITY Assessor W. +. Green furnished us
it'll some figures woich more than sustain
,e claims of the EAGLE touching the on
ard march of this city's growth. Other
ties may effect incredulity and talk OF
ind-work if such an indulgence furnishes
ZEN any relief, but the fgurers of the as
ssor's sw orn returns are just trife stub
Orn.
The agreed bass for assessment for this
ear was the same as that of last, forty per
emit of actual value SO that the returns Of
sS4 and Of 1885 will show more reliably
IAN anything else the actual growth of the
ty and are as follows:
.eai estate .............sl, Isl, .62 u -. ~

Totais $50, SOC g. ~ %;
lcrease OF real estate s2so, "
acrease personal property 20 zt'
os,y,stotal increase s,4e, 97s
These figures make very gratifying ex-
hit of wichitas growth in the past year.
'resumably no city in the state can show
1ch an actual stride, being over one hall
iillion at forty per cent of an actual in
rease of property values of one million
lree hundred and sixty-seven thousand
,ur hundred and forty-seyen dollars.
The commissioners as a board of eeualiza-
.on as also the people were interested to
now what was the result of the census Of

,een the work of getting his assessment re-
arms in, and properly made up. that he had

n the present meeting, but that he would
ave them all ready before the day fixed by
ne law for their return. the first Of July. He
lad completed the original wards, but it
you'd take several days TO finish up the nu-
aerous additions, where the great increase
{ population has occurred, and he desires

ABOUT THE HORSE MARKET.

Morgan Bros. received at their stables q
fine lot of young mares to supply the de-
mands for high steppers and superior farm
animals. Several matched teams of very
handsome animals are in the lot. They are
constantly receiving invoices Of stock from
sections of country east famous for horse
flesh, and have learned that none but the
best character of animals are marketable
here hence, they bring to this mar
ket such animals as will improve stock of
this section.
Ed Banister, of Kansas City, received
seventeen head of large mules, being the
seventh load of mules he has sold since
March, His mules are at the Farmers feed
stable and are as fine a lot of extra large
mules as have ever been offered in this city.
Mr.. Banester informed reporter that he
has been unloading mules at Harper, but
that he prefers this market TO the market at
Harper as he has larger field to supply.
A number of Texas bronchos have been
sold in this city within few
days and considerable interest and
excitement was caused yesterday
when pair was harnessed up and hitched
to a wagon. 1t Is unnecessary TO tell an old
kansan that they didn't work worth cent.
They started off pretty lively for small
horses snd might have continued had they
both been of one notion, but one of them
stopped and looked around and the other
went on dragging his mate after him. The
horse on the ground and the horse on the
wogon, and the driver assisted by seventeen
others, mostly volunteers who had broken
horses; attracted a great deal Of attention
from the people and MANY words of advice
were freely offered as to the best way of
breaking these horses. The last the reporter
saw of this team the blue broncho stood in
the wagon and the pinto lay under the
wagon, and the driver was using words not
laid down in Webster's unabridged, COM
monty called cuss words.

EXPOSING A WESTERN MEDIUM.

At Strawberry Point, Ia, Nov.30th
c. L. Wyman, the spiritualistic me-
dunn, has been holding seances at
the residence of w. b. Field for a
couple Of weeks, the attendance be-
ing large each evening. The medium
did not forget to collect 81 from each
person present. Quite number of
citizens have been worked up to high
pitch over the adroit manner in which
he brought up the so-called spirits of
their friends Several sceptical young
men attended the seance last Satur-
day evening with the determination
of exposing the fraud, and when the
spirit of the father of one of the com
pany was materialized and reached
out to shake hands with his son a
young fellow near the cabinet crap
pied with the messenger from the 9TH
er world and threw him to the floor.
The believers Immediately hurled
themselves upon the young man and
the sceptic's friends then took hand
in the affair, and for a while pandemo-
mum reigned, with the spirit believ-
ers and unbelievers rolling on the
floor of the dimly lighted room. The
lights We're at last turned up, when,
to the amazement of the believing
circle, the materialized spirit proved
to he the medium.
\ warrant was sworn out for Wy
mans arrest, and he was held to
await the action Of the Grand Jury.
Wyman is one Of the most noted me-
diums in the West and was the chief
medium at the recent State Spiritual
ist camp-mecting in Clinton. He
came to this place from Evanston
and Chicago where he held success
ful seances.

CHEERFUL WOMEN.

In marrying, men should seek hap
py women. They make terrible
mistake when they marry for beauty,
talent or style. The sweetest wives
are those who possess the magic Sc
cret of being happy under any or
every circumstance. Rich or poor,
high or low, it makes no difference
the bright little fountain of JOY will
bubble up just as unsteady III their
hearts. Nothing ever goes wrong
with them; no trouble is too serious
for them ito make the best of it"
Was ever the stream of calamity so
dark and deep that the sunlight of a
happy face across its turbid tide
would not awake an answering
CLEAN? Why, these joyous temper
ed people don't know half the good
they do. No matter how cross and

brain is full Of meditations on 'afflict-

talking to you, and we are not afraid
to wager anything that she can cure

DrED.-Elizabeth F., infant daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John +. Barrett, aged months,
3 weeks and . days, Of membraneous Group,
at the home of her parents on the west side,
March 9th.
Baby is gone!
How sadly the words fall upon the ear!
Her little bed Is vacant.
No more wen see her sweet blue eyes,
Now closed forever.
Her pretty dimpled hands,
Folded on her breast,
Are still forever more.
Sorrowing mother, weep not;
Your darling baby is gone,
But IL was God bereft you.
He has taken your angel to that bright home,
Where sorrow and death never enter.
You darling lived few short months
And then her spirit took its flight
To the realms Of everlasting Joy,
Triumphantly TO the garden OF the Lord,
To bloom forever In the field Of living light.

Buy Now.

In spite of the drawback of bad roads, the
spring trade opens up in most encouraging
manner at II. J. GILLEN's. The new goods
at the prices quoted are notable bargains, OBJ
yious to the most careless buyers, and have
consequently had not a little to do with the
early beginning of spring trade at this house.
Arrivals of new goods are opened almost dali
ly, and all seasonable fabrics may be had
at any time now at new prices-prices that
will pay any one to buy now, rather than to
wait until later before beginning spring sew
ing, which should be done now rather than in
the furore of house cleaning time. We say it
again, it will pay to examine Mr.. Gillen's
stock now.
New prices in all departments-bootsa and
shoes and groceries, as well as dry goods, and
all are invited to call.
