MORE SORGHUM

Professor Peter Collier, an eminent
educator and scientist, writes to the
New York Tribune to insist that the
American people ought To raise more
sorghum and less corn. lie insists
that sorghum seed is as good in every
way a corn, and in some respects bet
ter. I'VE should not forget, he says,
"that for thousands Of years sorghum
has been grown. rs now II Is grown
over vast areas. solely for the seed,
and ,here appears 10 be no reason why
il could not be introduced rs cereal
taking the place of corn in our coun-
try. since il possesses certain qualities
which ne plant render it less liable
TO failure n crop in certain sections
than corn" Besides and greater than
this provender quality of the seed Is
the saccliarine value of the plant.

SCOTT CITY.
The New Town in Scott County

To the Editor of the Eagle:
Scott City is the only town in Scott
county, and the center of the city is
the geographical center of the county
Daily hacks, carrying mail and COM
peting for large patronage, ply from
Garden City, on the Santa Fe, to
Cleveland, on the L. Z. X. X.
The Scott City town company filed
is charter September IL, 1885 and
Cpencdits books for business, with its
plat recorded and the town surveyed
and staked out September 14th. The
policy of the company is liberal, and
they propose to build a city in the in
tere-t of the entire population of the
county.
Lots 10 build homes and business
buildings are freely given, and the
| rush to secure the choice locations is
great.
At this early date 80 lots have been
selected, and contracts are signed with
in 80 days. Some of these are now
completed and are ready with coun-
tiers and shelving, to receive the stocks
of goods ordered, and Oh the way TO
fill them.
Teamsters and laborcrs, especially
men with hatchets and saws, are
needed here very much.
The cavalcade of emigrants are set
Ting in and around Scott City. Rich
government lands can be be found
quite near this promising town, but
the public domain in this vicinity
is rapidly passing into the hands of ac-
tual settlers. The sod is turning over
the keen, cutting share and crops of
winter rye and wheat are being
sown.
Incxhaustable wafer is found at a
depth of II to 80 feet. clear and soft in
an underl, ing lake of quicksand and
gravel No rock is found TO impede
the progress of earth-boriDg well
augers and two inch machines are
now at work on the town site. An
unfailing well of pure water can be
made in ten hours.
Less than one year ago the first iil-
ing was made in Scott county. To-
day more than 400 people are living
therein. Scott City needs artiZans
and laborers of every class and busi-
ness of every kind.

A COUNTY TOWN OR CITY

There is no question but what the
screaming of the Wichita Eagle has
greatly alarmed the town at the haw s
mouth, and her papers are urging up
on the people the necessity of securing
more railroads if they would retain
the vast amount of business they have
so long controlled. Kansas City is
arrogant. overbearing, dictatorial and
the people of kunsas are not the ones
TO tolerate such treatment any great
length of time. and the merchants and
business men of the town on the Big
Muddy will find it out to their sor-
row one of these days. In the case of
Wichita, the people are wise enough to
realize that the time has arrived when
she must either become large city,
or forever after remain a good "coun-
ty town." and they are putting forth
superhuman efforts TO become the
former. Our sympathies are certain
" with Wichita, and we trust the time
is not far distant, when Kansas City
will be forced TO take back seat SO

KANSAS TO COLORADO VIA MIS-
SOURI,.

The conviction Is growing every day
more and more firmly fixed in the
minds of the people of Kansas that II
limit has been set TO the commercial
supremacy of the city of Kansas City.
That it will be larger than any town
in Kansas no one doubts, but that it
will become an all-absorbing city like
ST. Louis or Chicago, the best judges
are beginning TO deny. The only ad-
vantages it has ever had have been de-
| rived from particular railroad facilities
and privileges. On these il no longer
has monopoly and every day tends
to reduce its strength in that respect.
Fort Scott, Wichita, Emporia. OF
tawa, Lawrence, Topeka, Atchison,
81. Joseph, Leavenworth and Omaha,
all have secured to themselves GER
tain portion of the business which
Kansas City has always coveted and
which Kansas City must have if she
ever becomes a second Chicago.
There is nothing agreeable about
Kansas City rs place of residence.
1t has no special advantages as man.
ufacturing point. 1t is not place in
which Kansas people can feel state
pride Ii is not place where railroad
general offices and shops will ever be
located 10 any considerable extent for
the reasons that its eastern lines of
| roads terminate in Chicago and st.
Louis. where the general offices and
shops will ALWAYS be located, while .he
western lines. that is the \. L. 4 ). F..
the s. X. and the L. T., have their
shops already located elsewhere.
Kansas CITY as q banking and insur-
ance center does not begin 10 possess
the advantages that Topeka does.
Topeka ought TO become aud may be-
come if our citizens insist upon il, the
Hartford of the state. Here should
be done the heaviest banking and in
surance business and our heaviest
aggregation of capital in whatever line
of investment should be managed from
here.
In this connection we desire TO
sneak of a matter which our citizens
are all interested in, but for which the
only remedy LAYS in the hands of Our
railway people One of the best mar
kets for our Kansas produce is The
Rocky mountain country 10 the west
of us.
Ii is unfortunately true at the pres
ent time, that Kansas merchants can
only reach this market by way of Kan
sas City. The Colorado or New Mex
leo buyer discovers no advantage in
buying at Abilene or Manhattan, or
Hutchinson, or Newton, or Topeka, or
Wichita, over buying at Kansas City
This should not be true. We are
perfectly well aware what the difficult
tiss are which freight men encounter
in making a perfectly equitab'e tariff.

Judge Kelly, in the New York
Tribune, gives this story of Lincoln
which is new to us:
81 have known men who were inti-
mate with Mr.. Lincoln at all the varied
periods of his life; through all the
struggles of his early years and the
trials and triumphs of his eventful
manhood and have questioned many of
these as to whether at any. time in his
life he had INDUCED in profanity, and
have been unable to hear of his having
used an expression that might be
regarded as profane in the course
of his whole life. Ii is well au-
thenticated that he did once with
much emphasis, invoke the name of
the Almighty. 1t was not, however,
done profanely, but to register i'm
Heaven vow while vet in the twcn-
ty-secoDd year of his age, that con-
trolled him throughout the whole of
his wonderful life. He was in New
Orleans with his friend John Hanks
they had seen sale of slaves. The
feature that most impressed Young
Lincoln was the sight of one of the
unhappy ones-''a beautiful light mu-
latto girl" "She was" as Mr. Hanks
put it, ''felt over, pinched and trot-
ted around TO show the bidders that
said article was sound etc. Lincoln

Kansas City needs all the railroads
she can get, but il is an open question
whether she will get all she needs.
Assuredly she will not if Chicago and
st. Louis are to be allowed TO gobble
up the ierritory.-K. c. Times.
In this instance the gobblers aud the
oobhlci are of the same mind-agree-

getting all the roads that she needs we
guess as disintcrested outsider should
that she has more than she needs al

in her ear TO remember the Missouri

pooling their own interests can
effectually smash that pool, pull down
that barrier and in eighteen months

The Spoopendykes.

| was reading the other day about
old Spoopendyke-how the old sinner
lorded it over his meek and submis-
sive wife about the gardening busi-
ness, and when she suggested the
planting some flower seed for orna-
ments he said "What kind of
fowers-artifcial flowers l reckon
maybe you want to plant some old
bonnet wire and few rags and raise
you spring bonnet" And when
she ventured to mention that foun-
tain would be pretty, he said:
Fountain! how are you going to
raise fountain-where are your seed
do you expect to plant bucket of
water and have it come up a foun-
tain?" Well, l just want to get hold
of him and help his wife civilize him
for about fifteen minutes. l know
some wives who wouldn't want any
help. The old brute. When woman
does her best to please her husband
he ought to feel pleased whether he is
or not. l know some Spoopendykes
and have no respect for them. But
there are some female Spoopendykes,
too, scattered around. / saw one in
the cars the other day; she and her
old man got aboard at way station
and took seat just behind me in the
smoking car. They were right COM
mon people-that is, he was. She
had snuff stick in her mouth, and
when he motioncd her to go in the
seat first she shook her head and
motioned him to go in. After a while
the newsboy came along with cigars
and he took one and looked at both
ends and all around and asked the
price. The boy said ten cents. He
smelt of the cigar and then felt for
dime. The old oman watched him
silently until then, but she couldn't
stand it any longer.
"You aint gwine to give ten cents
for that seegyar, are you ?" believe
l will. Sally" he said. "Jest to burn
up" said she. "That's what hits
made for, Sally" said he. "Well, l
do know" said she, "I'd look at
dime at a long time before I'd give it
for that thing and burn it right
straight up. If / was gwine to be a
fool I'd be a fool some other way"
BY this time he had borrowed fire
from me and got the thing to burn
ing, and as he pulled ahe smoke
upwards he said: sally, l haint
smoked seegyar in three months,
and we are on a sort of frolic now,
you know. You bought a dimes
worth of snuff yesterday morning,
and if you baint burnt it up you've
mighty nigh snuffcd it up-so what's
the difference, Sally I" "Well, it was
my money" said she. "My snuff
never cost you nothin'-nary cent"
"And my seegyar never cost you
nothin'," said he, and he elevated his
chin and screwed up his mouth and
blowed the smoke away up yonder.-

talked mean to David and finally
told him to come over and he would
feed him to the coyotes.
Then David in a gentlemanly way
told Goliath that he didn't claim to
be much of talker in public, but
that he relied on the uprighteousness
of his cause. He came not with
words and banners and torchlight
professions, but he believed he was
right and came there to prove it. He
was no public speaker, he said, but
he thought this thing had gone about
far enough. He then surprised Go
Hath with moss agate behind the
ear. The gentleman from Gath fell
to the earth with "sickening thud"
and David cut his head off with the
giants own sword. From these in
juries Goliath never fully recovered,
and finally deceased.

rose up and whooped with loud
voice and pursued their enemies and
they fed the fowls of the air with

David became solid with the king

went he was regarded as great sue
cess and all the giants were friendly
toward him.-Detroit Free Press.
