Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1884-1886, 1885-03-18

MI j. L. taiGHell, one vi tne pEcihiiieia
merchants of the county seat of Lyon-Em-
poria, is in the city. He came down yester-
day, and reports that bright little station on
the Santa Fe as showing many evidences OF
a genuine boom this season, that is non met
ropolitan swell in realities and values, such
as would be denomnated boom in Wich-
tia, bat healthy and encouraging village
growth Of junction-station of more than
average importance and ambitions. Their
state Institution, nov under Republican con-
troll again, is flourishing, and their street car
mikes regular trips to and from the depot,
and, on pleasant, sunshiny days, the princ-
pile business street presents quite an aiiima-
mated and lively appearance of moving
farmers wagons and other vehicles. IL
gives us great pleasure to note these evi-
dences Of thrift and prosperity upon the
part of our neighbors. Mr.. Caldwell while
enjoying for brief time the restless ener-
gy Of business and the unending din and
chatter of commercial life, such distinct
ive!y marks the the everyday activity OF
Wichla. yet agrees with us that it is wear
ing, and that such marvellous results as are
attained by Wichita is largely at the ex-
pense of body and brain, and that for these
and many other reasons, the quiet, even
trend that is TO be found in the bright but
serenely-going little town, named above, is
preferable, so he returns home to-day.
II Is unaccourtable to what extremes
some men will carry a grudge. Beyond a
little good-naturcd criticisms of purely a
political trend INDUCED in now and then,
we have never embarrassed or otherwise
did our neighbor, the Beacon, any harm.
But now, because the editor of that paper
sees that within short time we will no
longer be subject, as an ofiice-holder. TO his
harsh words and sharp shafts, he attempts
10 put Us in Il place where he could shak'
hi- .'pol.ceman's club" over our defensele>-
nea! from one years end to another, ana
avs this kind Of thing would furnish 1"
peace passing understanding. No, thank
YOU. dear captain no n,,yoralty in ours i
YOU please, especially with unreliable and
prec..riou- "a support a. woald be vouchsaf-d
by the city's official paper and the boomers
orgsn.
Rev. Mr.. McClung returned Monday af-
ternopu and will take charge of the meetings
at thrPrr>bytcrian church during this week.
Ill, sermon nigh: before last was concerning
the simplicity Of the terms of salvation.
~Look unto me aud be- saved" As the
children Of Israel who were bitten of the
-erp-als ia the wilderness, and were healed
IF their wounds by simply looking on the
braz-u -rrp,..t, 80 all who look TO Christ for
salvation will receive it. The subject was
made very interesting and plain by variety
Of Illustrations and anecdotes. There was II
a good degree ) interest manifested and
seven persons rose for prayer. An invita-

ing, which viii be held at 8 o'clock in the
