col. wooDcocK HoNoREp.

Col. Woodcock was last night rendered
an ovation by number of citizens at his
home on Lawrence avenue, in honor of his
appointment as assistant adjutant general of
the department of Kansas of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
BY appointment the participants met at
the Douglas Avenue house and at about 8
O'Clock were driven in carriages TO the resi-
dence of the colonel. After alighting, an
italian band, which was in attendance,
played an air upon the piazza, at the con-
clusion of which the recipient of the sere-
made made his appearance at the door.
Capt. Ong presented the company as num-
Der of citizens and friends who had come to
congratulate him upon his recent appoint
ment They were invited in and each warm
" grasped by the hand and most heartily
welcomed.
After the reception was fully over Col.
Woodcock arose and in an impress
sive and feeling short speech heart
lily thanked the delegation for their ex
pressions of kindness and friendship and
assured them of his gratitude for the same.
He toek it that the demonstration was not
intended for him as citizen and man, but
on account of grand and noble cause which
he had been appointed to assist in represent
ing. He had not solicited the Office nor did
he desire it, but had accepted it as matter
of duty.
The neat little speech was well received
and was replied to by Mr.. Geo. Steenrod
who endorsed all that had been said by the
colonel except that he wished to make
correction and have it known that the object
of the demonstration was for the purpose of
showing the esteem and honor in which the
gentleman personally was held by his COM
rades and friends.
Music was now had and after two or three
selections. the company repaired into the
commissary department and regal
ed the inner man with nice
lunch. A general good time was then had
with social chat and music by the band and
upon the piano; the evening being brought
TO close near midnight by the singing of
the old war songs, "Marching Through
Georgia" "The Empty Chair" and "Tent-
ing Tonight" and the playing of 'Home,
Sweet Home" Col. Woodcock has fine
record as a soldier, has held many positions
of trust and honor in civil life
and is one of Sedgwick county's
most able and popular citizens.
He was during the war, First Lieutenant of
Company G, 94th Illinois volunteers, and
was commissary of Southern Alabama and
Western Mississippi, and did notable service
during the days when men, to succeed, had
to be made OF good metal. He is now colo-
mel of End regiment of Kansas National
guards, Lieutenant-Colonelo of the Grand
division of the state of Kansas, of the
Knights of Pythias, and ex-Treasurer of
Sedgwick county. The appointment would
surely seem as though it had fallen into
good hands, and the Office will be honored
BY one SO competent and worthy.

THE BOOMERS.

Gen. Hatch and Lieut. Finley went to
Arkansas City yesterday. A representative
of tht EAGLE had tals with the general on
Sunday concerning the situation in the ter
ritory. He pointed out the location of the
cEttle ranches on a map published in the
Globe Democrat, and said they were all
outside the Oklahoma line except two, which
were owned or controlled by white men who
were married to Indian women, and who, he
thought had q right there. When asked if
he thought the boomers would abandon
Their intention ia move on the territory now,
be said he thought not. Concerning those
who came from Texas, be said they were
easily managed and would offer no resist
ancs. Touching proceedings against the
boomers who were arrested, the general
said he would do all ne could to
bring them 10 trial. A mes
senger arrived from Arkansas City
last night with n letter from the United
States marshal TO Commissioner Sherman,
probably touching further arrests. A boom
er arrived from Caldwell last night and re-
ports that the Caldwell colony had given
up the idea of any movement at present, but
were determined to go in next fall if the cat
tlemen were not driven out. He said that in
4 day or two we might look for wagons
coming up from below bearing the words,
an Cleveland we trusted, and in Oklahoma
We busted" He thinks Blaine would have
opened the territory.

DISTREsslNGLY OBTUsE.

Some correspondent writes us commit
nication on wrapping paper, which commu-
nication has neither date, name nor anything
TO indicate when it was written, where it was
written from or by whom. Among other
things he wants to know why the govern
ment don't more clearly define its position
on the Indian Territory, SO that the boomers
may not be left in doubt. We answer that
the government has already defined its posi-
ton clearly, most clearly by saying to the
boomers "keep out" For fear they might
not be able to understand, it backed its proc
lamation with an army. We think the gov
ernment has made itself reasonably clear Ii
could only make it stronger by killing the
boomers outright, which nobody wants done,
not even the boomers themselves. What
the new administration may rule as the law
we cannot say. While the EAGLE hopes
that some way may be found to open up the
territory without defrauding the Indians,
we shall stand by the constitutional authori-
ties, even If they should still hold that the
law forbids such settlement.

SCHEMES. NOTHING BUT SCHEMES.

The solid business men Of Wichita are
warned that there are several individual:
and concerns that purpose to beat their way
in this city. The men connected with
these schemes have various plausible rack
cts through which the merchant, more par
ticularly, is to be bled. The only ones who
will realize are the fellows whose wits sug-
gest, plan and execute. A few years since
we attempted 10 give our business men a
hint on the same subject, at time when we
knew there were being "worked" but it did
no good, the schemers getting hundreds Of
dollars for bogus advertising. We don't
know that this warning will save anybody,
but we feel il duty to write it all the same.
We know Of two or three advertising rack
cts being worked now among other things.
The success of these do not in any way mil
itate against the business of any legitimate
newspaper, at least no farther than it dis
gusts the victims and prejudices them
against all advertising. There is no way of
reaching the people satisfactorily, and SO
economically as through the columns of a
well-read newspaper. Experience has long
since demonstrated this. Next to this me-
dunn are posters, dodgers and cards. All
other plans have proved a delusion and a
snare. If any one doubt this let him note
the result of any venture in any other di-
rection.

NEW COUNTY MAP.

Some time ago mention was made in these
columns of a new county map that was be-
ing compiled and perfected by the county
surveyor, J.W. Bear. 1t was said that this map
was intended to be and would be when An
ished the most complete and perfect work
ever produced of the county of Sedgwick.
Every feature that could be of moment or
interest was considered in the making Of
the drawing and nothing was left uldonc to
make it-for small map-a standard Of
authority for correct information
or thoroughly reliable reference.
The drawing, when complete, was marvel
of pen work and contained the capital city
of the county with each and all of her many
recent additions, including College Hill and
the one spelled with big z. Also each
town in the banner county of the state. The
water courses complete down to the merest
brook. The completed, surveyed and pro-
posed railroads. Churches, school houses,
cemeteries, postoffices, bridges, the large
ranches and fruit farms, and included esen
fsh-ponds and springs. This made work
as complete in every respect, save the names
of the farms, as any large map now in use,
and something infinitely superior to any
thing of hand-size ever issued of Sedgwick
county.
The drawing was some time ago sent on
to the Moss engraving company, of New
York, and Autograph plate gotten up
from it. This plate has been received here,
and an issue of 10000 copies is now being
struck off at this office for II. G.. Lee, the
popular real estate dealer. 1t is expected
that the edition will run to 100000, as it will
be source of pride not only TO the county
bat also to the state, and must be adopted
as Sedgwick's standard hand map. Orders
will be received by II. G. Lee.

THE OKLAHOMA rARcs.

The Oklahoma farce is getting altogether
too monotonous. Nineteen fresh boomers
came up in the custody Of the deputy United
States marshal night before last, and gave
bonds yesterday for their appearance at the
next term Of the United States district CONT.
The boomers have been masquerading Is
prosecuted citizens so long that people are
getting tired Of it In order to keep up the
play batch surrenders to the United States
marshal every day or SO and come to Which,
ita to give bonds. If they intend to
force their way through the troops to Okla
homa, as they say they will, why don't
they 90 ahead? What's the use of coming
here! Recent arrivals from Arkansas City
report good deal of disaffection among the
rank and file; they are getting tired of this
diily-dallying and running back and forth
between Wichita and Arkansas City. 1t is
also said that large number of them we're
in favor of moving without the leaders, but
the proposition was voted down at meet
ing held for determining their best course.
1t is about time they should do one thing
or the other. SO as to bring the question to
final issue, so that poor people who are
spending their money and time, can either
go upon the lands or go home about their
business.
We are informed that Assistant District
Attorney Charles Hatton, Lieutenant Day
and Commissioner Sherman will go to

ELECTION OF CITY OFFICERS.

The Republican EXAMINATIONS of Wichita
are closing up their lines with a precision
and determination that means victory. The
questions of licenses and whisky have been
completely eliminated from the contest. 1t
matters not what views may be entertained
by candidates or by parties, that element
before which everything has heretofore been
compelled to yield is out of the way. Econ
omy and the correction of abuses will be the
watchwords of the campaign SO far as the
Republican party is concerned. For mayor
an enterprising man who has the capacity
and experience necessary to enable him to
understand the needs of the city, possessing
the will and the nerve to do what he is con-
WINGED is for the best, and man thorough
ly identified with the property of the city
and whose all is involved in such property
is the kind of man the Republicans should
name as their candidate for mayor. As for
councilmen, we want thorough-going bust
ness men, whose tax receipts show that ev-
cry expense touches their pockets. Such
will not only give the Office their attention
but in their combined judgment safety will
be found. The minor offices should be
flied by men whose honesty and integrity
shall go unquestioned. The time for the
Repub lican ward primaries draws close, as
does the city convention, and the election
follows within month, SO that it is time
that men were being weighed and their re-
spective fitness closely canvassed.

another as was shown by the leading spirits
of Fl. Scott for the success of the Arkansas
valley stands without parallel. As for
