Correspondence OF Manhattan Nationalist.
There may be open saloons in Wich-
ita. saw lone. There is liquor sell.
ing. While | was at Wichita the
county attorney filed information
against half dozen men for violating
the law against liquor selling. The
serpent dies hard. 1t is significant
that the EAGLE calls the illegal dram
shops '.joints," and confesses that the
open saloon must go. Brother MUIR
dock will soon be claiming to be as
good q prohibitionist as any man.
After the war even southern men
were abolitionists.
From all L can judge, the officer of
these southern counties are as yigllant
and energetic in the execution of the
law as those of the older counties.
Summer county has population Of
81, 900 and includes Hunniwell and
Caldwell, two cattle towns, and the
Oklahoma boomers camp; yet l am
told there is not an open saloon in the
county, and the drug stores are not
disguised saloons. | do not wish to
be misunderstood. All claim is that
the open saloon is thing of the past
in most places, and that the claim
that the drug stores are but saloons
with another name, is false. L asked
two druggists in Wichita about The
business. One answered, "We sell no
liquors at ALL" the other, the oldest
business house in the city, assured me
that he sold as ''little as was possible"
none for a beverage believe the
druggists, rs a class, are honorable
men. They are not all Purltans;
some are too easily persuaded when a
neighbor begs for liquor; and some
who have druggists permits are liquor
sellers out and out.

that the EAGLE has large circulation,

his presence would not be tolerated
for an hour.
Instead of prospects of hunger and
starvation staring our people in the
face, they are already discussing the
question of how they are to dispose OF
their surplus crops aid feed TO the
best advantage, and to avoid being
compelled to sell corn at 20 cents per

that we have never seen the statement

pronounced Lie On" an unscrupulous
land shark and pig peddlcr of the city
of kingnaan He is the same indi-
vidual who telegraphed the EAGLE
from Kingman last spring, that large
number of persons were drowned at
the time of the freshet; that he had
himself beheld men, women and chill
dren sink beneath the turbulent tide
to rise no more. And by his wild,
exaggerated and untruthful reports
to the EAGLE since he began scrib-
bling for il, he has done more in
Jury TO the city of kingman and her
material prosperity than all the floods
and Indian raids which are likely to
ever befall it,
Here is the bit of lying SANDER
which he dishes up for the good peo-
pie in this vicinityi made in the hopes
that il will increase his chances for the
sale of a piece of land in kingman
county:

that il is only an accident, and that
next year everything will be lovely.
These reports are made up from por-
ton of Pratt, Edwards and the north
ern portion of Comanche counties.
What the new settlers are to live up
on this winter is past finding out. No
loans can be had upon their claims un-
til the Larned land office is again
opened, aud that event seems very re-

To the Editor of the Eagle
We are glad to chronicle plenty of
rain IN this section during the Ia,
two weeks. and as consequence the
corn op will be immense.
Augusta still moves ahead slowly
but nevertheless with a steady get
there gait, as is shown by the number
of handsome new stores and resi-
dences that are being built this sea-
son.
The Palace drug store is now in
charge of DR. Hill which will no doub'
add to its popularity with the public.
DR.. 5. Whitehorn has been away for
the last two weeks and is now in Col
orado attending to his interests there.
1t is rumored that the doctor and his
interesting family will be with Their
Wichita friends as usual this fall. Ii
it is true Augustus loss will indeed be
Wichita's gain.
The Fifth Avenue hotel, since the
re-opening under the able man
agement of our friend Mr.. John
Gardner, has been receiving a good
share of the public attention, as
it veil deserves.
The Billy Kersands troupe of colored
minstrels performed here last evening.
While they cannot be compared with
some of the leading white troupe in
the same line, yet their show was
good one and worth seeing.
DIR. Turner is here with his wonder
and is drawing the usual street corner
crowds. Somehow or other the doc
tor takes well with the natives.
Prof. o. Z. Olin. former principal OF
the Augusta schools, has received the
appointment as professor of English
literature at the State Agricultural
college. The professor is acknowled
as a fine educator and will honor his
promotion.
Mr.. f. IL. Gardner has pnr-
chased the news and stationery

The slight difficulties of securing accom-

arrival had been mostly overcome yester-

of their reception, and say no blame can be

HE MAY BE A swINDLER.
The Court Will Determine the Matter
This Morning.

Sixteen excited individuals and crowd
of small boys ran down Third street towards
the union depot last evening, after young
man with a smooth look and a No. 10
satchel. They were shouting ''Stop that
man; arrest him." in nine different Ian
guages. An officer near the depot was at
tracted by the men, and being told that the
man with the yalise had done up each of
the sixteen men for IS and was then trying
10 make of with it, he arrested the much
pursued man and took him 10 the police
station, where the matter was ventilated.
The man with the grip was o. Hanson.
He has been in the employ of WallOw IL Co.,
prOprietOrs of the Northwestern Labor eX-
change, corner Minnesota and Third streets,
for some time. and has of late been located in
Winnipeg. On Saturday he came TO st.
Paul 10 enjoy the holiday and yesterday
he was working in the ST. Paul
end of the establishment. An advertise
ment was posted yesterday for cheap rates
to British Columbia, and during the day
sixteen men answered it. Hanson agreed
to secure a passage for each for SIS, which
was put IN, and the men received a little
ticket on the back of which the amount was
receipted. The men were told 10 be at the
corner of Third and Minnesota streets at
1880 o'clock: While waiting there one of
them caught sight of Hanson making for
the depot. He told the other fifteen and
then the fun started. Hanson said lie ex-
pected TO meet them at the depot and take
them 10 Winnipeg with him, whence he
would send them TO British Columbia.
His employer, Mr.. WallOw, was sent for,
and, on promising TO present Hanson before
Judge Cory this morning. the latter was al
lowed TO go. All the money he had in his
possession is at present held by the police.
He will be arraigned on the charge of pro-
curing money under false pretenses.
