DON'T TURN HIM AWAY.

The town is full of men who can find no
work to do, many of them coming here dur
ing the late fall and winter because they
were told that Wichita was the livest city
in the state, from which they very naturally
concluded that life meant plenty to do.
There is great amount of work only wait
ing favorable weather, but this awful winter
has beaten everybody's calculations, as well
as that of these poor fellows who got here
only to find idleness and no means to
get away. They must live, and when
they present themselves at your back doors
and modestly request breakfast don't turn
them away. The most of them, if rot all,
manage to worry through on one meal a
day and that meal must consist Of just what
is set before them on the kitchen table, and
don't begrudge them this one meal. They
can't eat the table or dishes, poor fellows.
Don't turn them away. They are not con-
stitutional tramps or dead beats, but even if
If they we're, what mother knows to what
straights her own boy may come. The poor,
hungry fellows were some mothers dear
boy once, and maybe they are yet. There
is no way open for them to satisfy the gnaw-
ings of hunger other than asking
of those who have plenty, nor
can there be until sunshine somes
and buds begin to swell. When that time
comes it will be soon enough to set your dog
on them. You wont never miss at all that
which you give them, and every ounce Of
bread thus given will weigh more somewhere,
sometime, than though it had all been re-
fined gold. We know of some ladies in this
city who feed every morning from two to
FIVE of these poor fellows. God bless these
women And He will. Tell them to come
in and sit down minute by the kitchen
stove, if nowhere else. Note how humble
they will do your bidding, how thankful they
will partake of what you set before them,
and then as they strike out for the street
with the crying wants of the inner man sat-
isded, how they will straighten up, and with
both hands give their brooches an extra
hitch up, pull their hats back little farther
for the play of the free light and air of heav-
en-; and then, after they have disappeared
down the street, consult your own heart and
see how much better you feel.

A MERCANTILE AGENCY.

Mr.. Charles H. Beach, of the Kansas City
Mercantile Agency of r. g. Dun & Co.,
arrived in the city yesterday. The company
having concluded that Il j. or viii be desira-
bic TO establish permanent Office at some
point in Kansas west of the Missouri river,
Mr.. b. comes to look the ground over and
to talk with those most interested. Such an
Office is Of great importance to any whole
sale or manufacturing city, of course, in
that it is one of the principle adjuncts to the
financial center or head Of any given section.
Wherever Dun & Co. have permanent Of
fee that city can be set down as the city Of
its section, and in so far constitutes pointer
to capitalists, to merchants and manufsc-
turers. That Wichita is the place above all
others in Kansas for the establishment of
such an Office, we have not the least doubt,
and We hope Mr.. Beach will meet with every
encouragement. kstF

The advance in the price of stock, hogs and
grain is having its effects on all kinds of
business.
Our literary society is proving to be a sue
cess. The debates and literary exercises are
becoming very interesting and are attended
by nearly everybody.
The township election went off quite diff
ferent from what it used to before railroad
times. Nearly 200 votes were cast and
much interest manifested in selecting suit
able officers n. B. Smith was
elected trustee, Thos. Micreader, treasurer;
Ben. L. Bear, clerk; /. N. Skinner and Mr.
Carbon for justices, and other good men for
the balance of the ticket
Mr.. r. NJ. Pratt, of your city, assisted our

A protracted series of meetings have been
in progress at the NJ. Z. church since the
week of prayer, and it still goes on with un-
abated interest The little brick church is
crowded night after night. On Sabbath
evening over twenty seekers were at the al
ter. and about dozen more arose for pray
ers- About forty have already been con-
vcrted. and probably as many have united
with the church. Many backsliders have
been reclaimed, and the church has been
wonderfully revived. II. G. L.

full popularity of the Wichita DAILY EAGLE
since it's first appearance in the newspaper
world has been phenomenal. The success
which has attended this venture, however, is
but public acknowledgment Of the real
merit of the paper, and its pages attest the

ment is carefully edited. and is complete in
its line. The associated press dispatches
form very attractive feature Of the paper
and is compendium of events in the New
and Old world. The paper has full and
complete market reports, which to the mer-
chant and cattle dealer are alone worth more
than the price of the paper, and we com
mend the EAGLE to oil, feeling that peru
sal of its pages win meet the approval of the
reading public. To all who are DESTROYS Of
