Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1884-1886, 1885-04-11

The EAGLE does no: endorse nor does il
believe in the sentiments or ideas which APP
peared in these columns yesterday morn
ing under the head of Up, Up.' The ar
ticle was written by reporter and not seen
by the editor until it appeared in the morn
ing. We do not believe in any such doc
trine. The way for farmer to make money,
honest, square money out Of wheat j. to raise
it,or j. he desires TO speculate in il is to make
bona tide purchases and sales. If farmer
or any one else wants their fingers burned
badly in the end, let them persstently stick
to the rule Of bull or bear. This Is the
rule which hs. marked the history of Wall
stree: and the history Of ali puts, calls and
futures the world over. The exceptions are
very few.
p. S.-Since writing the above we hear,
but will not vouch for the correctness of the
information, that the Chicago correspon-
dent Of the firm here couldn't stand the
jump in Yesterdays wheat nor NEE; his con-
tracts in futures. This may be only rumor
or an alarm, but the rule we state will hold
good. OF course when such firms do go
down those who think they have made the
most loose the heaviest
The FL Dorado Republican tries to make
US feel bad by talking as follows, and We
won't say that il don't look that way: .'As
We stated in our las; issue, ii Is our opinion
that the board Of commissioners appointed
to locate the rcfornatory penitentiary is set
up in the interests of northern Kansas. At
least two of the three members reside in
that portion of the state and it is hardly
necessary for southern Kansas towns to ap-
ply. However, Wichita and Newton have
entered the lists and are Safeguarding each
other right lively. The Newton paper calls
Wichita the Arkansas valley hog, while the
Wichita EAGLE responds in manner beft-
ting the occasion. We hope these enter
prising young cities viii calm their trans
ports. Gov. Martin nor the commissioners
will seek to place this institution in the Ar
kansaw valley. 1t was not ordained in the
beginning nor provided in the make up and
will not materialize in any such way"
In view of the fact that We have To re-
ceive every yeara large quantity Of potatoes
from Iowa and Wisconsin and cabbage
from California, ii would seem ike sensi-
bic thing for our farmers to 20 into raising
more vegetables and les gram. We imagine
it would pay better and VIZ think the crop
would be more certain. \, any rate it is
good idea to divide up the crop then if one
thing fails you have something else to fall
back on. The soil of this county i as well
adapted for vegetables of all kinds j. any in |
the country and We believe enough could be
raised to supply the market here.
Two car loads OF furniture for the Man
haitian hotel BLACK block; arrived yester-
day, and Mr. Roberts. the future proprie-
tor, is expected here to-day. Mr.. Black |
says the work Of cutting and fitting the |
carpet will be begun at once, The hotel
will contain seventy-tive rooms, each Of
which will be supplied with an electric bell. |
1t will take TO about the first Of June to get |
it fixed up ready to open.

were around interviewing the business men |

amount was added to the fund already in |

matter in a way that indicate, that We will
have some good races the coming summer. |
