THAT BuNoHoLE LAW.


The Beacon talks about carrying free
whisky on one shoulder and licensed whisky
on the other shoulder, this spring. Guess
the editor of that long drawn out sweetness
had better read up. There will not be any
kind of whisky, licensed or free. carried
about on anybody's shoulder this spring, nor
in anybody's pockets either, and don't you
forget it. There viii be no whisky in sight
NOT a smell, or else We can't read straight.
Under that bunghole-law we would rather
be sucking kamsin wind on the upper Nile
as a prisoner Of Mahdi than as municipal
officer fooling aroaLd in Kansas this spring
carrying anything nearer saloon than a
drug store. Pity, as We sincerely do, the
weakness Of our brother for whisky on one
shoulder or the other. about election times,
We shsIl not attempt to disguise the porten-
iious fact that corkscrews viii be at dis.

The Paragraph, in speaking of the death
of Thos. LLOYD, which occurred SO sudden.
" at Centralia, H., last week, says: Mr.
Lloyd came TO this valley first in the spring
of 1871, we believe. and finally moved here
in February '76, since which time he has
been a resident of Grant township. Last
fall he decided TO rent his farm, move 70
town and take things easy the remainder OF
bis lie. The poor man did not live to carry
out his contemplated plans. The writer has
known Mr.. Lloyd since childhood, and al
ways regarded him as one Of the most whole
souled men that ever lived. Having re-
ceiyed none of the particulars at this writing,
4:s0 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, we are
unable to give anything more definite than
the above. Mr.. Lloyd was sixty-fve years
of age the 10th of October last, at which
time quite number of his friends took pos
session Of his home while he was attending
to some business in this city. We can no
doubt give the particulars by our next We
believe that he united with the NJ 4. church
at Valley Center last spring. May be rest
in peace. His family have the heartfelt SYM

Imagine that it is impossible to obtain 9
good fall, and consequently express pesim-
este prophecies concerning the future the
city. Such talk is all stuff. BY digging q
main sewer down Topeka avenue to the
river, two and half feet fall 10 the mile, can
be obtained, and we apprebend nobody will
deny that that is sufficient fall. Boston
has barely two feet to the mile, while many
southern cities have barely one foot.

RIGHT TO OUR HAND.

Yesterday while at dinner there were laid
/ upon our table twelve dozen of nickle tipped
Knickerbocker extra maroon finish American
pencils, with the compliments of Mr.. T. J.
Humble, the popular manager of the Hyde
book and stationery establishment. We
did not see the donor, but on the outside OF
one Of The boxes was written, "How do you
like 'emg" We guess an answer in the
affirmative would simply prove superHuous,
as this new brand of pencils has of late been
crowdng all other pencils out of the market,
eqnalling the celebrated old Faber, in both
metal and wood, and being greatly superior
in finish. Business men and accountants all
over the country are calling for the Knicker-
booker, and the manager of our big station
cry house was compelled to order in quanti-
ties to furnish their retail patrons throughout
thesouthwest. They are indeed the acme in
the pencil line, CT even grained wood, the
plumba tough and black, not breaking up in
sharpening. and every pencil having a nickel
tip. We hope by the time We have worn out
these twelve dozen that our readers may all
be happier, and our friend. Mr.. Humble,

lug to perpetrate joke on that gentleman
requested one of our reporters to say in yes
terday's EAGLE that the voters Of the Second
ward intended TO urge him to accept the
nomination for mayer. 1t was joke and
neither the EAGLE nor any one else regarded
il seriously, but the Beacon smells deep

visions of political schemes loom up before
its blood-shot eyes. The Beacon man
grasps his bowie knife, rolls up his jeans
and rends his linen, ready TO do us up in his
usual faul.less style. This great seer, so well
equipped by nature TO penetrate the deep
est recesses of the hnman mind; the pro-
fund philosopher who's all-seeing eye can
look into the very heart, and fore-see all con-
tlngeneies, discovers in the joke a masked
S4tierv erected TO slaughter the voters of the
city. Keep your shirt on, be calm and look
down from the giddy heights of your intel
ligence. in more mercifui spirit upon us
ordinary mortals. When we intend TO blow
you up we will let you know

BUILDING COMMENCED

| A look about the city reveals the fact that
though the snow has just TO day made its
(perhaps) final bow for the season, winter
can hardly be said to be over, and though
the weather is not suggestive of outdoor
work, yet building has begun in, what indi-
cations would suggest as promising to be,
one of the greatest building years in the his
tory Of his city. Yesterday jaunt about
town revealed coatless mechanics with ham
mer and saw busily engaged in erecting
homes either for themselves or in anticipa-
ton of the large immigration that is conf
IDENTIFY expected this spring, and is in fact
coming into the state and this city daily on
the heavily laden trains.
Twelve houses are already contracted for
on south Main street, and in many parts of
town new lumber and foundation stone are
conspicuous, and the nextthirty days should
fairly inaugurate big building boom that
should this year add five hundred houses
to the great and famous forest city of south
western Kansas.

THE BooMERs.


The three great topics that agitated th'
public mind in this city yesterday were tn
Oklahoma situation, the prohibition ques
ton and the coming city election. Numer
Gus little Oklahoma meetings were held on
the streets, knots of people could be seen IL
several places in the city discussing the stu
alton, and notwithstanding the big meeting
at Caldwell night before last and the great
efforts being made TO give the coming boom
a good send of, the friends of the move
ment in this city appear TO take gloomy
view of the situation. A large, number OF
teams with supplies and outfits are expected
TO leave here for Arkansas City next Mon
day. Gen. Hatch, Lieut.. Finley and Lieut..
o'Connor, left on the Santa Fe train yester-
day morning for Arkansas City, and Capt.
o. s Rarick, deputy United States marshal,
left for the same place yesterday afternoon
with warrants for the arrest of Couch and
twelve of his associates The warrants are
rcturnable March s, the day the boomers
are expected to leave Arkansas City for Ok
lahoma. A special train of four couches, a
baggage car, two stock cars and a coal car
containing two companies Of the Tenth in
fantry white menl, with horses, army wag-
ons and munitions of war went south on the
Santa Fe at 6 o'clock yesterday evening
These troops came from Fort Lyon, and
more troops are expected to-day from Mich
igsn. The Beacon win probably say there
are only corporars guard in the territory.
The reason for SO many troops being sent is
that reports have gone out that an immense
number of boomers are reported to go into
the territory this time. In this connection
it is amusing and ridiculous to hear men
who claim to be Republicans, desclaiming
against that party, and especially against the
Kansas senator's ana Representatives, the only
congressman who ever made any effort TO
get the question settled in congress. Repre-
sentative Ryan, Senator Plumb and even the
President have, on more than one occasion,
urged the settlement of the question upon
the Democratic house, TO no purpose, as
everybody knows.

GO SLOW.

While the indications are extremely fa
vorable for another boom again this year
tor Sedgwick county and Wichita, there is 9
danger-at least We fear there is-of some
things being overdone. Land agents and
property holders who are overly anxious to
make their pile, are liable in their anxiety to
hurt the present and future of both town
and county. Rents are being showed up and
valuations advanced at rate unwarranted
and in q manner which win defeat prosper
ity by lettering or discouraging home seek
ers from investing Wichita and Sedgwick
county are exceedingly fortunate, with all
their advancement and improvements, in be-
ing out of debt, but fictitious values piled
on to properties will more than Offset the
good that would otherwise be realized. Cen
tlemen, be reasonable, and keep your ambi-
tons within bounds.

NEW ORLEANS.

r. Z. Morris, of Morris Bros, wire
fence machine manufacturers, of this city,
has returned from business trip to the
Worlds Fair at New Orleans. He went
there to place on exhibition one of their
machines and met with hattering success:
having by common consent the best ma
chine by 100 per cent of any to be found
within the mammoth exposition. Some
sales of machines and territory were made
and are yet being made by the agent left in
charge.
Mr.. Morris describes the weather as being,
some two weeks ago, rather rainy
and muddy every day for ten
days. This was followed by bright, pleasant
weather. much like yesterday here, except
that there it was warmer and dry. The
foliage upon the trees is now green, some
flowers are in bloom, and some kinds of veg
etables green in the gardens. Mr.. NJ. plucked
some oranges from the grove or yard OF
Gen. Beauregsrd. Among the thousand and
one things of interest net with at the fair
and in the city, he seemed most impressed
with the battle ground where old "Hickory''
built his breast-works of cotton bales.
With but few exceptions, and those the
leading streets of the city, the thoroughfares
are not paved, and during the rainy seasons
are in very bad condition. The leaves that
protect the city are now running within two
feet of the top, and it is predicted that the
spring thaws and rains will possibly food
the exposition buildings. The attendance
at the fair is reported as light; though dur
ing the "Mardi Gras" it was large and is
now steadily on the increase.
The trip is splendid one, though Mr.. NJ.
says he thinks the southern country inferior
to the north, and that he saw but one or two
places between TT. Scott and New Orleans
where he would care TO live.
The people now encountered in the cres-
cent city are of all nationalities and de-
scriptions, among which the southerner can
be marked for his slow and somewhat list
less, though friendly and hospitable man.
