WICHITA, Kas., March Il, 1885.
Mrs. NJ. T. lease, Wichita. Kansas:

E. A. Reiman, Doc. Martin, DIR. J. H.
Kollas, John Hoitz and son and W. b.
Davis, with several other Wichita parties
left FOR Englewood Clark county, yesterday.
Most Of them have packed their grips TO
stay. They will be followed by about TWEEN
ty men to-day and Tomorrow, who go out
also to open up business. For the benefit
Of our readers we will state that the town Of
Englewood is a Wichita enterprise, with
some Of the leading business men of our
city at the head Mr.. NJ. l. Mum is now
IL ,h.-a ne ,N,.-s.,aogar pJ l.
his brother will open up a general store.
Other lines of business are going in this |
week, and a newspaper will be started very
soon.
Rev. Mr.. McClung returned Monday af-
ternoon and will take charge of the meetings
at shePree5yterian church during this week. /
His sermon night before last WIS concerning |
the simplicity Of the terms Of salvation. I
''Look unto me and be saved" AS the (
children of Israel who were bitten of the 1
serpents in the wilderness, and we're healed |
of their wounds by simply looking on the |
brazen serpent, so all who look to Christ for 1
salvation will receive il. The subject WAS
made very interesting and plain by a variety |
Of illustrations and anecdotes. There was Il |
good degree yf interest manifested and
seven persons rose for prayer. An invita-
ton is eTtended 10 ali TO attend these meet
ings, which win be held at o'clock in the
afternoon and in the evening.
II is unaecouutable 10 what extremes 1
some men will carry grudge. Beyond a
e
political trend INDUCED in now and then,
we nave never embarrassed or otherwise
did our neighbor, the Beacon, any harm.
But now, because the editor of that paper
sees that within short time we will no
longer be subject, as an office-holder. to his
harsh words and sharp shafts, he attempts
TO pu. us in place where be could shake
his "poiceman's club" over our defenseless
head from one years end TO another, and
says this kind of thing would furnish
peace passing understanding, No, thank
you, dear captain, no mayoraltv in ours if
you please, especially with SO unreliable and
precarious support as would be vouchsafed
by the city's official paper and the boomers
organ.
Mr.. J. E. Caldwell, one of the prominent
merchants Of the county seat Of Lyon-Em-
poria, is in the city. He came down yester-
day, and reports that bright little ststion on
the Santa Fe as showing many evidences of
q genuine boom this season, that is non met
ropolitsn swell in realities and values, such
as would be denominated boom in Wich-
tia, but healthy ard encouraging village
growth OF junction-station Of more than
average importance and ambitions. Their
state institution, now under Republican con-
troll again, is fourishing. and their street car
makes regular trips TO and from the depot,
and, on pleasant, sunshiny days, the princi-
pie business street presents quite an anima-
mated ana lively appearance of moving
farmers wagons and other vehicles. It
gives US great pleasure to note these evil
denccs of thrift and prosperity upon the
part of our neighbors. Mr.. Caldwell while
enjoying for brief time the restless ener-
gy Of business and the unending din ard
chatter of commercial life, such as distinct
icely marks the the everyday activity Of
Wichita yet agrees with us that il is wear
ing, and that such marvellous results as are
attained by Wichita is largely at the ex-
pense of body and brain, and that for these
and many other reasons, the quiet, even
trend that il to be found in the bright but
sereneiy-going little town, named above, is
preferable, 90 he returns home to-day.
