Dairymen the country over are suf-

Beans produce an enormous crop in

improved by surface manuring.
Peas are recommended as a

THE COMING BREAK.

Months sooner than we expected when we
commenced the agitation of the construc-
ton Of railway lines west of the Missouri
and into the interior of Kansas, have the
great lines commenced to figure on such ex-
tensions. There is not a Chicago trunk line
now reaching the Missouri river which is
not feeling for central or southwestern Kan
sas extension.
The Atchison Champion says that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
company are going to extend their line
into Kansas by the way. probably,
of either Atchison or St. Joe. The same
paper says that Superintendent Kimball of
the Chicago and Rock Island was in Atchi-
son Monday comforting with leading citi-
zens with reference to southwestern ex-
tension from Atchison. The EAGLE will say
to Superintendent kirnbal and to the Mil
waukee and st. Paul men, that there will
soon be an excellent, an extraordinarily good
chance, TO secure line all the way to
Wichita, providing upon acquiring such q
line they, or either of them, can operate
such al a trunk line from Wichita direct to
Chicago

The immediate delivery system is 10 60
into effect to-day, and ali arrangements have
been made by the postofice department for
the beginning Of business. Lists OF post
Offices at which letters may be specially de-
livered under the new system will be found
at the postofice. As has been stated 10 the
EAGLE, this list includes all postoffices at
which the free-delivery system is in opera
ton and those in cities and towns having a
population Of 1000 or over. Great interest
has been manifested in all the larger cities
where business men have for q good many
years felt the necessity of such q system.
The messengers have been secured, have
been instructed US TO their duties, and it is
probable that from the very first the system
will work well.
In answer TO inquiries it may be said that
registered letters will be entitled to immedi-
ate delivery the same as ordinary letters
when bearing q special delivery stamp in
addition 10 the full postage and registry fee
required by the law and the regulations.
A letter bearing special delivery stamp in
addition to the lawful postage, may be mail
ed at any postofioe in the country. On this
point thore seems to have been some misun-
Outstanding. A merchant residing any,
where may send TO Wichita letter for i'm
mediate delivery, and it will be delivered by
messenger, but merchant in Wichita can
not address letter for immediate deliv-
cry TO a post Office to which the special
delivery system has not been extended. II
postmssters take pains to expedite mailing
OF letters bearing special delivery stamps
and in delivering them, the system whilI un-
deubtedly be of of great benefit to business
men as well as others:

FOR THE WEST.

Considerable sport Was caused Wednes-
day in the Fifth ward by the passage along
Chicago avenue Of q one-horse team loaded
down by very large family, enroute for
the far west, and various speculations were
INDUCED in rs TO the probable place of their
nativity. At any rate they were going west
to grow up with the country, and it does
not matter particularly where they came
from, they baye sand and gall enough to
battle their way westward, and such gall is
all that is needed in this country to sue
coed. We may next expect to hear Of them
as the founders Of . county or township
in the far west, where energy and pluck
knocks the starch out of dudes and laggards
and where muscle and old-fashioned horse
sense rises to the surface. May they live
long 10 the land. for of such is the kingdom
of the granger.

drop fell at lbs and he was pronounced
dead one-half minute later. The fall re-
suited in almost decapitation, the head hang
ing to the body only by q small strip of skin
at the back Of the neck. The scene was a
most sickening one and it was with difficult
ty that the eXecutioner could
summon courage enough to take the body
down. Hartnet killed bis wife January
31st, 1884, in Mt Auburn, q suburb of Gin

An IrrrRyrkw.

The EAGLE local Who 10 the author OF tn
item which appeared some time ago. coup
ling the name Of Nellie C. Bailey with tina
of Sorrells, the Ascending painter, anc
which was copied by several of the state pa
pers, had an interview with that lady in the
parlors of the City hotel yesterday. 1t was
not hostile meeting and no firearms were
brought into requisition. Mrs. Bailey stated
to the scribe that, owing to the wide circu-
lation and great influence of the EAGLE, the
article in question had tendency to do her
great injury at the time, but che did not be-
lieve it to be intentional and she never made
the threats against the scribe that were at
tributed to her. Had the article appeared
in any other paper than the EAGLE or the
Topeka Commonwealth, she would have
paid but little attention to it.
Regarding her connection with Sorrells.
she said she had no intimacy whatever with
him, and had never met him but once or
twice, in the parlor of the hotel, where she re-
ceives all callers on business connected with
her book Sorrells wanted to trade her
three lots in Wichita for the agency of the
state of Indiana, but finding out subsequent
" that be was not a reliable man, she met
him on the street and informed him she
would have nothing TO do with him. Re-
erring to Mn. Sorrells' story to the effect
hat iirs. Bailey caused the rupture between |
lerself and her husband, Nellie says it was
put up job to make people believe that he
,ad left her in destitute circumstances while
be facts were that there was perfect I'M
between them that he was to
kip out for Indiana and she to follow, and
hat they are now living together in Rush
lille, Ind. Information from other sources
ears Nellie out in this statement. and it is
inted that this trick has been played by
husband skipping out and the
life seeking aid to be sent back east, where
he husband will meet her. This is good
.hame to save the expense Of railroad fare.
also appears that Nellie did not leave this
~ for two days after Sorrells did, SO that
;e story of the elopement was all mistake.
he reporter gave the story as rumor and
sted that be knew nothing about the facts
the case. Nellie says she is very circum-
ect, and very particular, in respect of CON- q
nv, because her enemies are ever on the q
ert for anything calculated to injure her. :
