ANTHONY, kan,, April l, 1885.

ANTHONY, kan,, April 1, 1885.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Here we are again. and everybody smil-
ing. Kansas is herself again. The weather
for the past few days has been superb. A
great breadth of oats has been sown and the
corn ground is being stirred, but the farm
ers rs "A rule are month behind in their
work. The coil is in splendid condition and
ms there is plenty Of snow in the mountains
we are sure of good crop, and then what
will we do with ths people that will come to
this country
We are having good emigration and
everything is booming. Anthony will
double her population this year. The Sun
flower was completed to the line of Anthony
township to-day in the presence of promi-
nent railroad men and citizens of Anthony.
Among the frat mentioned were General
Manager Miller, General Freight Agen.
Rector, Chief Engineer Woods and Road
master Mccartney. The Anthony eornet
band was on the ground. and general
blow-ou, was INDUCED in: On and after the
sixth day Of April there will be passenger
and freight trains run daily to this line,
which is three miles from Anthony. They
will make this the terminus until the road
con be completed to Anthony, depot built,
etc, which will take about fifteen days.
Upon the contamination OF this Wichita's
proud daughter, Anthony, will make her
debut, and some of the older gals and more
favored ones must get up and dust or be
left behind in the procession. With the m
coming of the road there will be grand ex-
cursion over the road and the biggest real
road celebration that was ever held in the
state. Yours respectfully, L.

WHY GRANT CAN'T SLEEP.

Everything in relation to General
Grants condition, and the cause oft,
is read with avidity at this time. while
his life is in the balance, and before
this is read may be gone. The Boston
Herald says:
General Grants inability to sleep
comes not SO much from condition OF
the body Ms from unrest Of the mind.
Tie has it firmly rooted that he is go
ing out In disgrace and under cloud,
aud all that his friends can
sav TO him in no wise
changes his belief. tie talks very
freely with certain of his iutimates on
the subjec', and he tells them Of his
modification aud chagrin that he
should have been duped by Ward, and
50 many persons should have lost
money by him. lie thoroughly un-
dersta nds, aud indeed it is the truth,
that Ward u-cd the name of Grant to
carry on his schemes, and that many
persons were led into them because
hey had confidence in Grant, and 70
Grant, with mental disease upon
him, aud conscious that his end is ut
hand, rests with wakeful eyes day in
and day out, and ihi, ks, thinks, thinks.
tie tells his friends that the re-
sponsibilities of battle and of leading
the aruies of the naii,.n gave him H.
such concern as has this Ward busi'
"ess, that rest III the White House in
the critical period when the Country
was recovering from the effects of civil
war was SWEET compared to the resi-
that has come to him in the last nine
months. He had hoped that fortune
might in some manner smile up
on him SO that he might re
turn to those who have lost the money
thus wasted. He would write, h,
would work, he would do an, hing t.
remove this stain from the family. Blu
he is attacked by disease that mus
prove fatal, and soon he became too
weak acd TOO sick to stir out OF the
house. So he silently and grimly ant
without a word of complaint keeps Il
his couch and to his easy chair, AM
think. lie mourns because he canno
make restitution aud because he ]
helpless. 1t preys upon him so tina
he cannot sleep.

The Philadelphia Press, in speaking
of Ex-Governor Click, of Kansas, as
candidate for commissioner of agri-

norant of farming, his sole experience
in that industry consisting Of the dis

once devised for raising suceotash by
planting sweet corn aud Lima beans

Since the stock license article appeared in
the EAGLE, the regular dealers have been
largely consulted and are unanimous upon
the passing of an ordinance in accordance
with the sentiment advocated by this paPsr.
1t is now suggested that these dealers formu-
late petition, embracing what they desire,
and have it properly signed and ready for
presentation to the new city administration
when it shall come into power. That time
is near at hand. It ia = good time to strike
and if properly presented should not fail Of
the desired result.

sATURx,s PERIHELIoN.
An Astronomical Event that VIII Not
Occur Again Thu 1918.

II twenty-five years exhaust an astrOn-
omer's highest power of observation, be-
fore Saturn returns again to perihellon in
1915, observers who are now in their
golden prime will find that their eyes have
grown dim; observers who are just enter
ing the Astronomical field will rejoice in
the maturity of visual power; and obserV-
ers VINO are but children now Will become
aspirants for the laureis the heavens be-
stow on those who devote their lives to
the study Of celestial mysteries.
Nearly a generation Of those who now
tread the earth will sleep peacefully in its
bosom, while this wonder OF the skies
traVerses the vast path that forms his
circuit round the sun. A generation OF
men lives and dies in one Saturnlan year!
Well may it be said that the study Of
astronomy promotes humility, teaching,
as no other science can, the insignihcance
OF humanity, For what is our earth with
her one moon by the side of the peerless
saturn, with his complex array Of rings,
moons, and beltsI The earth, however,
mas reached her perfection of develop
ment, while the primeval fires of Saturn
stlll burn. When animal life reigns on
THIS superb planet the earth will be dead
world, cooled down to the condition
OF our satellite, where life and moisture
are unknown. Mars and Mercury will
probably succumb to the law OF inevitable
decay before the earth dies, on account OF
their smaller dimensions, Venus keep
ing pace more nearly with her twin sister
The four giant planets will then rejoice in
ther turn in the perfection Of physical
development, and take the places in the
material scale now occupied by their
more insignificant brethren.
But millions Of years will be required
TO effect these changes, and meanwhile
the inhabitants of this little planet can do
nothing but behold the process of world
making on the larger planets, and the
process OF decay on the smaller planets,
while they wait patiently for what is to

Fashion Notes.

The favorite colors Of plush for bodices
and children's dresses are all shades OF
green and brown, navy blue and red.
The leading material for hats is felt
dress bOnnets are composed of velvet,
plush and richly embroidered materials.
Lace sleeves win be worn more gener-
ally than ever. Velvet Jackets for house
wear have sleeves of either white or black
lace.
Dark moss green and purple are two
cOlcrs used in Paris millinery this season.
French mOdistes also use this cOmbina-
ton.
Long plated apron fronts, with short
back bTeadths, are very becoming to either
short or tall figures and are quite la
mode.
Small rosary beads are used to cover
faille dress fronts, the panels usual with
this style of trimming being of plush
stripes.
An acorn fringe in the natural color of
the fruit Of the oak tree Is the latest
French novelty in the way Of elegant dress
trimmings.
Peacock effects in blue and green will
be seen in street costumes the coming
season. Velvet is particularly effective
in these colors.
Large buttons are worn on dresses as
trimming for the panels of skirts. In
some cases they are Of metal, although
for dresses they are more often of velvet.
Long lines in the drapery Of skirts are
considered the more elegant. and the
foundation skirt with the tiny plsse is
sull seen on the bottom OF the skirts Of all
the most stylish costumes.
