!, NJ. FLOWERS.

We observed an interview with the above
named gentleman published in the Newton
Republican ia which he is reported as being
very indignant at the report of his arrest
published in the EAGLE.
We were not present at Mr.. Flowers trial
and did not have the honor to meet him, but
what we published was gathered from gen
tlemen whose veracity is unquestioned in
this community: Ex-Gov. Glenn, police
Judge; Fritz Snitxer, from whom Flowers
purchased about $40 worth Of goods and
who knows considerable about checks; Mr..
Holmes, from whom he bought hat for
which he could not pay, and who knows
a Santa Fe check when he sees it; Mr.. L. ID.
Lynch who has handled more Santa Fe
checks than any man in town. We gave
their statements and we believe they told
the truth. In Flowers statement he says
that when the police arrested him they gave
his oyercoat and watch to some fellow who
made of with them, and that they made lao
effort to recover them.
Now the facts are that the watch and pis-
tol and the detective badge were left in the
possession of Judge Glenn until the fine is
paid. II Flowers checks were all right and
be was 80 badly misused there is a good law
yer in Newton and the city Of Wichita is
responsible for the acts Of her officers.

TIE GROWTH OF WICHITA.

A valuable and gratifying gain to the rap
idly increasing business interests of this city
is the wholesale cigar business of B. Cohn.
This new enterprise brings with it the bene-
fit of lifelong experience in the cigar bus
mess and thoroughly practical knowledge
of the demands of the trade.
This is the first exclusive cigar house in
southwestern Kansas and we bespeak for it
the hearty co-operation of this community.
Being the agency for the Valencia Cigar
factory's celebrated brands of cigars, dealers
can be supplied with the best line of cigars
manufactured in America at prices as low
as they can be bought at the factory, and
can save all costs of transportation, besides
getting exclusively fresh stock as needed.
No job lots to work off. Among the spec
ialties handled By this firm is the famous
MARKER" five cent cigar to which especial
attention is invited. This is the finest five
cent cigar in America. Dealers giving this
cigar trial can return goods if they do not
prove as recommended. To guard against
limitations every single MARKER" cigar is
stamped with the name Marker" in bronze
letters. This cigar cannot be too highly
recommended. 1t is ten cent smoke for
five cents. For other special brands see
card in this paper.
Encourage home enterprise and bestow
your patronage where you are sure of be-
ing best served. The business of B. Cohn
is located at l27 Douglas avenue in Green's
new hln.k

SUGGESTIVE CIRCUMSTANCES.

n. +. Niederlander reports the sale of the
elegant country seat of T. S. Brown, that is
located south of the fair grounds. Mr..
Geo. L. Rouse WAS the purchaser as ne re-
Gently, also, was of eighty acres Of fine bot
tom land on the Little river, north of the
city.
The same real estate firm closed a sale
yesterday that involved the Mcpherson
block on Main street near First, and which
was the property of i. A. Dorsey. Messrs.
Chas. Rossler and T. Heron, two gentlemen
of means and good business qualities from
Indiana, We're the purchasers. They paid
cash for the property and intend coming TO
this city next fall to locate. Such persons
are always most welcome and will here find
genial class of people to do much to make
them well pleased with their decision and
investment.
Niederlander has quite recently sold sew
ersl farms and assures us that business has
not been SO active since last spring.
The business transactions above recited
surely demonstrates that the predictions of
large emigration to this state during the
present year are well nigh assured and that
the record Of Kansas for 1885 is TO be a
most prosperous one.

CANNING FACTORY.

AT last il appears certain that our city is
to have canning factory. This enterprise
has long been desired and often discussed,
but never till now has it assumed satisfae-
tory shape.
Messrs. Tucker and McCracken, whose ar
rival here from Oil City, Pa, was noticed in
these columns some ten days ago, have pur-
chased farm upon which to raise fruit,
and n location in town upon which to build
a factory and viii engage in this business
here in the near future.
These gentlemen came to this state some
thirty days ago with this object in view and
have since their arrival in Kansas been trav-
cling over the state in quest of location.
They, like hosts of others, saw in the Ar
kansas valley, Sedgwick county. and Wich-
ita, the desired qualities and inducements for
a location, and have for some days been

acres, some four miles east of the city, that

THE BOOMERS,

Yesterday the boomers were to have
thei. examination before Commissioner
Sherman, but they didn't have it. Couch
and his associates were promptly on hand
and ready for trial but the government was
behind as usual. The boomers reported at
the commissioners office at 10 a. m. but no.
body appeared against them. Assistant
United States District Attorney Chas. Hat
ton said he expected witnesses up from the
Territory on the noon trsin, therefore, it
was agreed to adjourn until l:S0. The train
arrived from below but no witnesses. A
large number of persons, mostly grey haired
men, assembled in the commissioners court
and the Oklahoma question was freely dis
cussed. About fifty were present and the
unanimous opinion as far as could be OBJ
tanned was that the whole business was
scandalous farce and the government was
making an ass of ITSELF
The proposition laid down was had the
boomers had committed a crime or that they
had not. If they had, why not come
promptly forward and try them for it, II not
why go to the expense OF arresting these
men, paying their fares to this city, pay
ing the United States marshal for bringing
them here, paying an attorney
for writing complaint and paying the COM
missioner for hearing the boomers plead not
guilty, fixing date for preliminary trial
and then turning them lose on their own
bonds, and when they appear for trial no.
body is present to testify against them
Plenty time was given the government To
have their witnesses here, and it is presumed
that said witnesses are not very busy Just
now. The examination was continued until
8 this morning, and it was expected that
Lieut. Day would arrive last night, but no
Lieut.. Day arrived that We know of. Com
missioner Shearman said that none of the
subpoenas issoed had been returned. The
questions now is if no witnesses arrive to-
day, what will be done with the boomerss

THE COMING cry
wichita to Make cr.nder Strides Than Ever


The EAGLE is in possession of information
which, in the near future, or as soon as de
tails can be arranged without embarrassment
will be made common property, the con.
Summation of which insures not only another
year of prosperity and solid growth, but
which will go far towards making Wichita
the great city of Kansas. The enterprises
are inst the ones long advocated in these
columns. There is not aquestion AS to their
success and they will come without bonus
or reward other than the superior facilities
the city offers for the investment Of capital
in the lines contemplated. In this connec-
ton we want business men Of broad and
comprehensive views at the head of our city
men who will not only foster
what we already have, but who possess the
necessary push and enterprise to secure and
add still Others until some of the great rail-
way lines ending at the Missouri river shall
be forced TO push for Wichita and the Ar
kansas valley. All our ambition and work
has been to see Wichita the metropolis of
Of Kansas. She is to-day the fourth city in
hesitate. In another year she will be the
bird and in three years the first, If no mis-
axes are made by our people.

4 sourHrRN RAILROAD EXTENSION,

/
The Arkansas CITY Republican INDUCES
in the following speculations touching the
kansss City, Wichita and Indian Territory
railroad, charter for which was taken out
by Lewia, Hyde, Hartzeil, Mead and others
few weeks since:
Should this road be built between Kansas
City and Wichita no doubt it will be ex-
tended on TO Fort Smith through the Indian
Territory. The charter has already been
granted, and some time since bill was
introduced In congress asking tor the privi-
lege CT crossing the territory with railway
from Kansas City, Mo-, to Fort Smith, Ark,
the benefits which would befall Arkansas
City should we have southern connection
by railway. In fact the whole Arkansas
valley would be greatly benefited, and as
Arkansas City is at the mouth of the valley
we would receive doubly the benefit of any
other town. We would be the principal city
between Wichita and Fort Smith. II the
road should be constructed between Wichita
and Kansas City, as a matter of fact il is
but fair to suppose that il will be extended
to the objective point named in the charter.
Now, for the welfare of our city, we
want this southern connection Some
wonder if we can compete with Wich-
ita in wholesaling if we should receive
it, and IL towns will not spring up below |
and zap our life from US. Should this ex-
tension from Wichita 60 by way of Hume |
well or some other point, where would Ar
kansas City be on the territory trade? Hun
newell is direct south of Wichita, and the
road will be constructed on the most prac-
teal route and where it will receive the most
benefit and aid. There is no danger of any
towns springing up below us, at least in close
proximity, because Of Indian lands. But
there is danger Of rival cities springing up
east or west of us, should this extension
miss Arkansas City. Then instead of COM
ing here by teams TO trade, Wichita
md the border town would derive the
benefit To the Republican it appears that
/ southern extension would be very ad-
rantageous to Arkansas City. OF course
here are older and wiser heads than ours
md we hope they won't deem us oficicus
or making these suggestions. We believe
hough they should investigate this matter.
{ might pay to hold citizens meeting and
Ippoint committee TO wait upon or cor
espond with the Wichita parties and ascer-
ain somewhat more definitely the true status
II the situation. We can not begin too
Don in the matter. Let us all work for the
Kansas City, Wichita & Indian Territory
ir line.

In this season of industrial and commercial

porous Kansas, the banner state of the

says that not a drop of rain has fallen there
during the last five months and that the
stagnation in business eclipses anything in
the previous history of that city. There is
absolutely nothing doing and the people are
leaving there as fast as they can. Hundreds
of men are coming in from the mountains
