DERBY.

DERBY, Aug. H.
To the Editor OF the Daily Eagle:
Dear Sir: Very true my feelings
were somewhat akin to those of the
tenant of the inner chamber of the big
fish with regard to the verification of
prophecy, but be assured that il is not
to establish the fact that | am either
prophet or the offspring OF one, but
simply the water involved that l come
to the front this morning with such
broad smile upon my little bit doubt
full physiognomy and although it may
seem somewhat highly wrought, yet
il really appears as if the broad cast
and universal illumination of the hith-
erto darkened brows of the yeomanry
is SO very thorough and complete as
to dispel the darkness incident to the
glorious rain that has fallen this
morning. | say glorious and mean it
too from the fac that | believe ii has
come in due time to insure an average
yield of the great staple of Kansas.
So well satisfied are th: sovereigns of
this city that salvation has arrived
that quite number OF enterprises
and building operations that
haze been Abandoned and
being have alreahy | learn been re-
sumed and reIaken up with a deter
minatiou to carry them through. Thus
you see Derby receives new impetus
and leap to the front from one timely
shower. Strong proof that either the
damage of the drouth has not been
great or else our people are easily en-
couraged TO go ahead; good enough
either way.
Two or three new residences will
now soon loom up and chief among all
the new houses is church for the
Baptist Christians in this locality which
we are informed is taken hold of with
a vim and firm resolve to carry it
through. Grand undertaking for
Derby; we need more just such esta5-
lishments here, and above all true.
genuine and dcvout Christians TO fill
them.
Well. if one good rain will produce
such change and bring about such a
revolution in the minds of our citi-
zens, little more in the same direc-
ton and the water will run through
our great contemplated ditch.
We are glad to note the fact that
young Henry Ernest who was so
badly mutilated by the horse is rapid
" recovering. Ill.

Marsh Murdoch and his EAGLE pro-
pose opening competition with Kansas
City in the jobbing business. Wichita
can command considerable portion
of this if her business men will take
hold and stand by the EAGLE in its
fight against the combination that is
now throwing cold water on the en-
terprise. Murdoch is n rip-roaring
fighter in anything he undertakes. and
we shall miss our guess if he does not
succeed in his latest efforts in behalf
of Wichita. Such papers as the EAGLE
and such men as Murdoch are power
in battling in increase the business
interest of the already thriving city OF
