parties or combination of parties, in Wichi-

outright, the roads needed. Nobody but an
idiot would suppose or claim such thing.
No corporation of men that our town can
furnish could guarantee, beyond possibility
of failure, the building of either desired road.
Nobody but a fool would ask or expect such
guaranty. The taxpayers and people are
unanimous for the three proposed lines and
are determined to do all in their power
unitedly and harmoniously, to secure the
needed lines. Now, anybody, or any set,
who proposes to embarass or throw cold wa.

TWO WICHITA OFFICIALS WHO COULD
NOT CATCH ON.

Two city officials were over in FL Dorado
whatever of painting the town red, but just
oyer there looking into city matters. They
| fell in with another private fellow citizen
and in course of time that oft quoted remark,
at is long time between drinks" skipped
naturely on the tongue of one them. They
held council of war and resolved TO attack
| the works at once. They sought drug
store and asked for beer. The doctor said
he had some but could only give it as a
medicine, or for mechanical or scientific pur-
poses Then they drew themselves up
until they looked like cramp stricken inval-
ids and said they were sick. The doctor
the matter. One said it was stomach COM
plant, the other said it was indigestion and
the other said he had cramps. Then the
doctor said he would prescribe for them and
offered them paragoric. When the alder
man said they wanted beer the doctor said
it was the very worst thing in the world for
him to take, that beer didn't go for crsmp.
Then they all commenced to feel very bad
all over and left the house, leaving the doc
tor with puzzled look on his face.
The next place they went to, the aldermen
said he could manage the beer racket and
get beer if any one could, SO they followed
him as leader. He entered the place, and
instead Of drawing up his aldermanic pro-
portions as he had Just done to the critical
doctor. he assumed that proverbisl alder
manic strut so peculiar to our city dads and
entered. He called for beer and got it, but
was told that he could not drink it in the
house but not TO be outdone he took his COM
psnions into side room and there the
corks were drawn and the parties imbibed
freely.
Now il became noised about town that
two prominent Wichita citizens were quite
i'll and several people of good intention
fastened to render all necessary assistance.
They found them at the drug store and in
teryiewed them on the health question. |
They took the alderman for physician, and
one of his companions, the engineer, ss-as |
an invalid on his way TO the springs. When
the chairman of the health committee came /
in he recognized his Wichita friend and
gave the whole thing away.

FROM THE NORTHWEST

Mr.. Frank Williams, of the Occidental,
Minnesota and Dakota, arrived home night
before last looking much refreshed and
braced up from his trip.
Mr.. Williams has not been through that
country since 1861, and in conversation with
an EAGLE reporter, who had not been there
since 1867, related numerous instances of the
wonderful growth of towns and cities in the
interval, notably Minneapolis, which was
then a mere village, and is now fine city of
129, 600 people. The revolution caused by
railroads, he says, is wonderful. In 81 the
Mississippi was swarming with steamboats,
but now during the three or four days he

says there is no particular boom in that
country but it is in prosperous condition.
He noticed several young cities in Dakota

BY way of. Sioux City and Omaha, the for
mer city he says is the liveliest he saw on
the whole trip. Omaha he said, only last
year got freight rate which enabled her to
compete in California fruits with Chicago,
and now she is in position to monopolize
all the trade naturally tributary to her. One
or two more trunk connections he is satisfied

metropolis of southern Kansas and give US
large slice ofthe southern trade. He says

GEORGE DIDN'T COME.

Yesterday was the outside limit Of the
time when the son OF the cattle king was to
arrive with $4,000, but he amt here. Pos
sibly the train was ditched. Ysnk Owens
claims the credit of being the first to drop
on the old cattle king and feels happy that
he saved the whole town from being swindled
in more WAYS than one. A curious circum-
stance in this connection is that every one
with whom the alleged millionaire had any
dealings, say they knew he was crooked
very soon after they first met him. Not
withstanding that everybody was onto him,
he managed to live like prince q couple of
weeks. He drove the finest rigs in town and
had not a cent of his own, which may be
considered as pretty good evidence that
some must have been victimized.

WON'T UNDERSTAND.

MIR. Robert Parham. of the St. Louis Lead
and Oil company, who takes. in WIGHT,
about once month, made US call yester
day to say that the EAGLE was sound as to
its position with reference to Kansas bust
ness being done on Kansas soil, that thi.
paper had probed to the very bottom of tn,
problem and that if Wichita but holds to
this course no power can prevent her from
becoming the city of Kansas. That state
with million and quarter or more OF
population should fail to have any city
within her own borders is something that
:he EAGLE can't and won't understand, we
assured him in re.urn-not if the EAGLE
could help it.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The refreshing showers Of yesterday and
last night together with the cold wave of
to-day has proved a very acceptable change
after the hot weather of last week.
Much interest is being taken in the ap-
preaching county fair. 1t is TO begin Sept
90 and continue four days. There lie . good
premium list. and the exhibition in every
line will be fine. Excursion trains on the
lines Of road centering here will be run at
reduced rates.
The Southwest Kansas Methodist camp
meeting closed its services to-day. The
meeting YVES held in Elliott's grove, very
pretty place, about mile south of town.
With the exception of two days, Saturday
and Sunday, the attendance has been light.
Quite an interesting game Of base ball was
played here yesterday between the Ell Dora
do Blues and the Douglas Unions. The
score showed "a to IL in favor Of the home
club.
Mr.. d. w. White, who is well known in
Wichita, is exhibiting here the wonderfully
big heifer named Kansas Prairie Queen.
This rare sized animal weighs $500 pounds
and stands 10 hands and inches high. She
was raised on Mr.. J. L. Pratt's farm, four
miles north of FL Dorado. 1t will DO re-
membered also that Mr.. White had on ex-
hibition several years ago, another big
heifer called the Kansas Queen, which was
raised in Cowley county. This animal was
sold by Mr.. White to Adam Forpaugh.
The Prairie Queen is good deal the largest
animal and probably has no equal in the
United States.
The building boom has not missed FL
Dorado this summer, and number of fine
brick business houses, q large 3-story brick
hotel near the Sunaower depot, beside the
many hardsome residences that are on the

cover more than one-third of the liquor

ment.
