to say, that in the sery near future, perhaps
in two years time, nearly every acre Of land
in the vicinity of this city will be under cul-
,ivation. Farms are already being opened
up in every direction, and one in particular
owned by Mr.. W. E. Campbell, deserves q
special mention. Mr., Campbell has nearly
section of land broke and in cultivation;
:his includes green Of over one hundred
acres planted with dozen different kinds Of
trees, all growing finely and which makes
one of the most pleasant sights TO be seen
along the road to New Kiowa. The water.
here is as pure and sweet as the best found
in the southwest and is easily obtained at
depth of from forty to ffty-fve feet
This is also proving to be one of the bet
sections for fruits in the state, and great
success has attended those who have under
taken anything in that way. During last
season wagon load Of melons were brought
into town that had been grown on sod
ground, and the average weight amounted
to ffty-two pounds each, the largest melon
weighing seventy-six pounds.
The citizens of New kIowa and vicinity
are anxious that Government Post be es-
tablished here, and more suitable location
could not be selected. Railroad Transports
ton, one of the essential considerations need
ed to supply a military post cheaply and
with dispatch, is here; and in addition to
this the location is handy to all parts of the
Indian Territory, and other points that
could be reached quickly in case of trouble.
1t would also give an increased sense of
safety to that class of timid settlers from
the east who immagine that living so close
to the Territory is necessarily fraught with
a considerable amount of danger. The Con-
gressional Committee when visiting here
two weeks ago expressed themselves very
much in favor of this point as one which
would be very suitable for this purpose, and
would be far better for the soldiers, if moth
ing else, than TO keep them cooped up in
some inland town with less opportunities
for drill and exercise.

THE KANSAS BORDER.
Protection Demanded by Our PEG
pie.

Two or three times the people of Ksnsa;
have been frightened by Indian movement.
in the territory and threatened invasions
which have damaged the state probably
more than could be expressed by mere dol
lars. 1t is queer military policy which
puts or leaves the enemy between the army
of protection and the people TO be protected
Yet that is just the kind of protection which
Kansas has always been afforded by the
government and the only kind. The In
dams. or such Indians as are liable to raid
the border, are free TO roam around
between the military posts and
the settlements along the Dor
der. last spring when invasion
seemed imminent troops were sta
toned along the south line of the
state, and the sense of security was com
plete. That movement opened the eyes of
the people and number Of demands and
petitions have since gone mp to the govern
ment for permanent post.
Again this fall, in view Of the abrogation
of the cattle leases and the consequent short
rations among the Indians, another move
ment is being made looking to the establish
ment of a midway post at or near kiowa.
Mayor DobsoR, of that city and DIR. A. 5.
Cloud have been up TO Leavenworth con-
sulting with General Miles, and at Topeka
interviewing Governor Martin and the state
officers. Strong petitions will be put into
the hands of our congressman ana United
States senators asking for some immediate
action at the hands Of congress.

SSOO,OOO,OOO.
The Chase-TownIey Estate.

The Globe-Democrat has been publish
ing considerable of late touching the grea,
English eastate eff Chase, the heirs to which
live mostly or wholly in America, and large
" in Kansas and Illinois. A special dispatch
from Newton, Harvey county, spreads it on
pretty thick because a Mrs. Theodore Gates,
of that place, is one Of the heirs to this es-
tate. The dispatch says that the Liverpool
Post announces that the British government
has decided TO pay over to all the legal heirs
The estate amounts TO SS00,0O0, 600 and 400,
GOD acres Of land, most of it city and village
property. The estate would have been d.
yided many years ago, but through the false
claim of one Orange, was thrown into chan
Gerry, where it remained tor twenty-six years.
The estate was inherited By four brothers OF
the Chase family, three Of whom, William,
Acquillo and Thomas, came to this country
before the revolutionary war The direc,
heirs of these three brothers number about
eight hundred.
The EAGLE hopes that Mrs. GaIes may be
able TO make her title clear 10 her million
dollars, but Sedgwick county has an heir TO
that estate, whose direct descent from the
Chases has been verified, in the person OF
the well known gentleman, c. Wood Davis.
The Chase family is the same or identical
with that of Salmon p. Chase.
The following is an extract from the gen.
a.lor;oal ,.t.ar r.caivad by q Mood Davis
from his uncle Japei Davis, of Warren, II. l.,
some ten years since:
IF you have the spirit of your ancestors,
in after life, you will be pleased to think of
the contents of this communication. i can
trace my mothers (your grandmother,
Lydia Chsse) line back to William Chase,
the first record of whom was that he was a
church member in Boston, in 1850. VIII
liam Chase and William Davis must have
been here Immediately after the landing of
the Pilgrims, in 1920 The name of Chase
and Davis have been associated through
nine or ten generations, as have no Others
within the range of New England history,
marrying and intermarrying."
The Globe-Democrat of late date gives a
very full and interesting account of the
estate, and of the partially successful effort
made 10 secure il. One Thorne, an heir,
who had been sent over TO close up the
matter, came back, being very sick, SO re-
newed investigations have been put on

NEW KiOWA. BARBER COUNTY

To the Editor Of the EAGLE.
Since our last visit TO this new and beau
tiful little city it has become the terminus of
the Southern Kansas railroad, and very
decided improvement is noticed in the bus
mess interests of the place, especially, SO in
the increased number Of substantial store
buildings and handsome residences.
The location OF New Kiowa as point 10
concentrate and draw trade from a very eX-
rensive territory seems TO have been very
fortunate one, and evidently selected with
considerable care and judgment, and also
with a perfect knowledge of its good points
for commercial center that could not help
but prove success as soon as the advan-
tages Of a railroad connection was secured.
And already, although the town is scarcely
wear old and has had railroad only three
months, vet II can boast of trade that
reaches clear TO the Panhandl e
of Texas and over the biggest
half of the Indian Territory. The number
of cattle shipped from here during the last
three months is simply enormous. and is in
round numbers over seventy thousand head;
making the average number of car loads
each day AZ fifty, since the seventh day of
last August The town is located on the
three mile strip or what is otherwise known
as the Osage diminished reservation which
borders on the Indian Territory, and is
about ninety miles souihwes; from Wichita
This land was sold by the government seve-
raj years age, mostly in large tracts at a
uniform price of one dollar per acre, and is
now offered to settlers in lots to suit the
purchaser at prices ranging from five to
twenty dollars an acre. The very best por-
ton Of this strip is perhaps that which
lies directly ives. Of New klowa for
about twenty miles, and nearly the same
distance east. It is surprising indeed to sec
the depth and richness of the soil IN this
part Of Barber county, and We feel at liberty

cLEvELANp.s CIVIL SERVICE.

Cleveland claims that his administration
is being run under the rules Of civil service
reform, yet be has bounced more men in six
months because their politics were obno1-
ious to him and the Democracy than any
President ever bounced in two years. Mr..
Cleveland says be is guided by the spirit oil
civil service reform, yet the very Commis-
sion organized under the civil service law
he has wiped out only becsuse it was COM
posed of two Republicans and one Demo-
crat, and in the name Of civil service reform
he reorganizes it with two Democrats and
one Mugwump. He would have made them
all Democrats but that the law forbids it.
Civil service means with this administration
that every Office holder shall and must be a
Cleveland Democrat.

session. Mr.. Gladstone declined to give
pledge regarding an unseen scheme OF
finance. The News says it is able to state
that Mr.. Gladstone's reply is final and that
there is no choice of the matter being ar
ranged by liberal concessions. The Con-
servativ es are signing memorial to Lord
Salisbury, asking him to refuse Office
unless pledge be obtained faom the
Liberals. The Liberals have resolved to
stop supplies until the redistribution OF
seats bill is completed. They will probably
oppose the making of the first lordshlp OF
the treasury as sinecure when vote is
asked for the salary of 95, 900 for that po-
sition. 1t is understood that Sir Stafford
Northcote has accepted peerage regard
less of any action that may be taken.
BARKUS is wILLIN'.
The Standard believes that Mr.. Glad
stone is willing to resume office If the
Marquis of Salisbury declines. In that
event. it says. the coercion act will be
dropped, and Earl Spencer and the Marquis
of Harrington will not enter the cabinet.
The Liberals are signing memorial to Mr..
Gladstone, asking him not to give way.
The Standard declines to believe that the
refusal of the Liberal pledge will prove a
fatal impediment and hopes that Lord Sal
isbury will not despair of his task. but trust
to the patriotism of the moderate Liberals
for sympathy and support.
The morning papers contain nothing fresn
regarding the political crisis. The Liberal
papers counsel the Liberals to hold firm
and the Tories cry ''no surrender"

Whitney and Charles Daniels, convicted
burglars, were arraigned in the criminal
court yesterday. When Judge Norton
asked Whitney if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pronounced,
the prisoner sprang to his feet and abused
the court with volley of profanity. Tear
ing away from the bailitf, he hurled a pair
of handouts at the judge. The missile
passed over the judges head, shattering
heavy plate glass. Whitney turned fiercely
upon the police, and had to be soundIy
beaten before he was subdued. His friends
in the court room pressed into the prisoners
box, and the officers were finally compelled
to draw their revolvers. The two men were
handcuffed and taken to the Michigan City

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-Isaac G.
Downs, an inmate of the Montgomery
county jail, was married in that institution
yesterday to Miss Clara B. C.. Yerkes.
Downs is eserving nine-months'
sentence for shooting Lewis YER
kes, brother of the bride.
The parties are residents of Moreland town
ship. Downs and Miss Yerkes had been
intimate, but were opposed in their love-
making by the latter's brother, who threat
ened to annihilate the purser of Miss
Yerkes' affections. This threat was COM
municated by the lady to Downs, who armed
himself one day in August last. Yerkes
forced an entrance into Downs room, when
the latter shot the brother of his inamorata.
He was tried last December and was con-
victed. Miss Yerkes was the chief witness
in his behalf. Downs wanted
the marriage to take place before
his trial, but as such a course would have
barred her as witness, the ceremony was
postponed. The marriage was hurried that
the prospective child of the pair might be
born in wedlock. Downs is 81 and his bride
35 years of age.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, June 19.-This
afternoon most frightful accident hap
pened at the-circus grounds, just prior to
the opening performance of Richards &
Leon's circus. Among other outdoor at
fractions was balloon ascen-
sion, and just as the ropes hold
ing the balloon were cast off
the accident occurred by the Overturning of
hot air stove used in initiating the balloon,
causing it to catch fire. The burning bal
loon shot up into the air at very
rapid rate with William Patterson, the
aeronant, in the basket. When short dis
tance up the crowd yelled Jump" but
he did not heed the warning and after go
ing several hundred feet up the balloon
collapsed and Patterson fell to the earth, a
crushed and lifeless mass of humanity.
Patterson was % years old and resided in
Wellsville. O.. where he leaves a wife and
family. 1t was his first ascension. The

Brutality to Convicts.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 19.-The reports
are renewee of the barbarOuS treatment OF
colored convicts on the Savannah Valley
railway in this state. Nine OF these unfor-
tunates have died recently, it is alleged,
from the effects of cruel treatment by con-
tractors employees by the railroad company.
A few days ago a squad of eight cOnvicts
were returning from work to their camp
when one of their number escaped. The
next morning the remaining seven were
stripped and beaten numerically, and in a
short time one of them died from the effects
of his whipping. On another occasion
a convict saw fellow prisoner attempt
ing to file off his shackles and did
not inform on him. He was so frightfully
whipped that he has not been able to do
any work since. Another convict was
bound up with wires and beaten until his
back was left raw from his neck down, and
he is now lying in camp in a very critical
condition. It is said convicts are called up
at o'clock in the morning in order to reach
their place of work, which is five or six
miles away; that they are worked until
after dark, and that they do not get back to
camp until about o'clock at night. Only
one hour for rest is allowed in the day, and
that at dinner time. Seven disabled
convicts from the railroad camp
arrived at the penitentiary, in this city,
last night. They were in deplOrable con-
dition, and were placed in the hospital. By
order of the governor of the state, Supt.
Gipscomb and Surgeon Pope of the peni-
tentiary have gone to the convict camp to
make an official investigation into the mat
ter There is no doubt but that the inveSti-
CATION will show that sufficient cause eX-
lists to justify the demand which was made
so emphatically several months ago, on a
report of similar brutalities, that such eX-
hibitions of inhumanity to these defenseless
creatures shall henceforth be made impossi-
BILE by ab9ishing the system of leasing con-
victs outside the penitentiary.

Iron Mill toResune.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 19.-Ihwas
reported last night that Supt. w. B. .Parkes
of the North Chicago Rolling Mill com-
pauy's works at Bay View'had notified the
scale committee of the local Amalgamated
association lodges, to meet him in confer
ench this forenoon at or 10 o'clock. The
reported notification was interpreted to
mean an adjustment of local differences,
and the impression prevailed in Bay View
last night that the fires would be started up
again and the huge machinery set In motion
next Monday. It is believed the wholesale
desertions from the manufacturers agree
ment in Pittsburg has prompted the North
Chicago company to decide upon a'Settle-
ment.

LONG strike at am End.

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, June 19.-Itswas
definitely settled this afternoon that the.
miners strike at Jeddo was over. All the
strikers have accepted the company's
terms. Up to o'clock this evening
every man who signed the agreement
was hired again. The coal and
iron police, who have been on duty at
Jeddo for the past six weeks, will be with

says there will now be steady work and
that according to the agreement no strike is
to take place in the future, but ALI difficult
ties will be settled by arbitration.
