TROOPS EN- ROUTE TO FORT LEAvEN
WORTH.

Yesterday the command of Col. Geo. b.
Sanford, consisting of four troops. NJ 9th,
Capt Rafferty, LIST, Capt. Carr; L 4th'
Capt. Whit Sd, Capt. johnson. These
troops comprise the Fort Leavenworth
school of instruction battalion, and has been
out two months on the territorial campaign
and were guarding 100 miles of the Kansas
border, from Caldwell west to the Simerom.
1t is a fine body of men and well equipped,
and its march through the main street of
Wichita was of the most orderly kind.
Col. Sanford informed a reporter that the
Indian county is quiet and orderly and no
fears of trouble entertained. That the
cattle men are moving out in conformity to
the presidents order, majority going to
the Cherokee strip, while quite body are
being shipped from New Kiowa The colo
mel speaks in glowing terms of the country
and the rapid improvements within the
western Kansas counties through which his
command passed. The officers speak well
of the EAGLE, which they found
their earliest medium of news
while on the frontier and say they
partially owe their campaign to its early
sounding the alarm, being its guardian
angel from its towering perch o'erlooking
and guarding happy homes along the Dor
der of the frontier.
The command is camped at Chisholm
creek and this morning the call of boots and
saddle will send them on their march
towards TT. Leavenworth where they expect
to be in about ten days, via Emporia,
which they will reach in four to five days.

THE ARlONS.

There was fair audience at the opera
house last night to witness the first appear
ance of the Arion Bell Ringers, but We pre-
dict much larger house every other night
during the week. The entertainment WAS
really meritorious and occassioned more
merrimcn, than anything produced in the
opera house for long time In its nature
it was comic throughout but in no respect
vulgar. There was 10 ringing down nor up
of the curtain and the interest was main
tanned throughout. Jimmie Field in his
absurdity, Aesthetics and Pathetics," kept
the house in a roar. F. VI. Lombard As g
violinist is hard TO best. Dave
and Clara Williams in their Irish Courtship
occasioned roars Of hearty applause. The
musical rehearsal was immense. In short,
every part was replete with fun and the
house rang vitt merry laughter. The Har-
per's Shadowgrsphers, succession Of lu-
dicorous scenes, which closed the evenings
occasioned much merriment-
The performance throughout was excellent,
and We have no hesitation in recommending
the Arions 10 the public

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The board of county commissioners met in
special session yesterday at the county build
ing for the purpose of opening bids for the
improvement of the premises around the
county Jail building, sidewalk. etc. The
contract was awarded TO VIM. r kessler.
Msjor Powell asked the commissioners for
permission to lay the tracks Of the street
railway across the Douglas avenue bridge
discussed at some length. Mr.. Nelson said
three men in West Wichita opposed it
and farmers were afraid the cars would
interfere with the passage Of loads
of hay. Major Powell said the
bridge was the same as the one at Lawrence
and there was no trouble there. He was
satisfied that he could make provision by
which no obstruction would result, and felt
sure if he was given permission to put down
the track he could demonstrate to the satis-
faction Of all concerned that everything
would work satisfactorily. He would enter
into bond of 5000 to take up the tracks
after the cars hsd been running thirty days,
or at any time thereafter, or before If there
wss any dissatisfaction. As no petition has
been circulated In the matter, further con-
sidera,ion of the subject was delayed.
A New voting precinct was established at
school district No. 8, Park township. The
board will be in session to-day.

GRAPES AND WINE.

II have been around in this valley good
DEAL" the last week." said gentleman to an
EAGLE reporter at the Manhattan hotel last
Sunday, land am astonished at its produc-
tiveness. was particularly astonished at
the luxuriance of the grape crop wherever 1
found them. This valley is natural vine
yard and | should not be surprised to see
the time when you will have immense wine
cellars in Wichita. With proper care
and attention have no doubt that the Ar
kansas and Minnesota vsllies will produce
as fine grapes as are grown in California and
that your city will become famous for its
native wines"
The reporter suggested that our prohibi-
ton laws would hinder such a result.
"Yes, just now probably that would be a
serious stumbling block. but if it is found
that grape culture and vintage can be made
profitable, which think is certain, legisla-
ton will conform to the interests OF the
country. The use of light wines is not con-
sidered conducive TO drunkenness. In
France wine is used in families as common as
milk with us and drunkenness cuts no fig
ure in that country, neither in Italy nor
Spain, nor any country where wine becomes
common. Mark my words; wine will
become an important factor in the pro-
duction of this valley.

THEY DULLED THE MARKET AT VAL.
LEY CENTER.

When Wichita grain buyer il on the
market everything goes, and he goes in to
make Rome howl. Sometimes he bowls
and sometimes he don't Sometimes he
sees it and sometimes he don't He raises,
he calls and he takes down the pot. Four
aces against Granger he wins; four aces
against Bunco he loses.
Stiff grain quotations found Wichita
grain buyers at Valley Center. They didn't
go for their health. They went out there to
turn an honest penny, and found when they
got there a chap that was turning honest
pennies in the soap business. He was doing
a pretty fair business among the people Of
that little village, but when the grain specu-
lators came in he struck bonanza The
first wheat buyer he struck was solid Mr..
e., noted for catching on to good things as
they pass by, who, seeing ten dollar bills
and little boxes of soap going for eight dol
lars a piece, tumbled to the margin and
proceeded to make a corner on the layout.
He was, as becomes careful manipulation
vi the DULL tioe Oh the u1htktt, CaItluf W
see that the tener was put snugly
into the box with the SOAP. he
then took the precaution to mark the box
and keep his eye on it all the time the soap
man was mixing it up with the other boxes.
At last he paid his So and took his choice Of
the boxes. There were four little boxes
haviag 81 bills in them, excepting one
which contained $40. "Now you see it and
now you don't see it" was the attractive cry
Of the soap merchant. So thought Mr.. G.
as he opened out his little box, for instead Of
the margin he expected he went short on
the corner 81; but he had his soap.
Grain buyer No. 2 tried to bull the soap
market also and after standing the raise went
short on the call, the little soap man taking
down the Jackpot without showing his
hand
Uncle Billie j., after buzzing around the
candle, concluded not to go into the COM
binstion, and this article is largely indebted
to that fact. Uncle Billie says S. and G.
are pretty certain, notwithstanding they did
not see the hand played against them, that
it was four acres and jack. As q pre-
cautionary measure Valley Center and soap
are words not used much shout the wheat
market Just now.
