The state board of equalization have
made their report of the taxable returns
made by the several counties of the state
and as equalized by them. Sedgwick
county which stands the second county in
the state in valuation, was cut down one
million, one hundred and odd thousands
as was Shawnee county about the same
amount. About twice the number of
counties were raised than cut. Atchison
county was raised one million Of dollars
and Leavenworth county was raised over
one hundred thousand, yet Sedgwick after
being cut down more than million leads
both. Shawnee county alone leads Sedg-
wick which she would not do was not Tope-

THE STRUGGLE FOR KANSAS TERRI
TORY
From the Railway Age.

from the Railway Age
The struggle for the possession of Kan
sas by rival railway companies grows still
more fierce, and an astonishing number of
new lines are now in progress or contem-
plation. The Atchison, Topeka aud Santa
Fe company, which was the pioneer line in
a large part of that state, and to which very
much of the prosperity of Kansas is now
due, evidently has no intention of giving up
to new corners the field which it has done
so much to make inviting. Last year a
company entitled the Chicago, Kansas and
Western was incorporated for the avowed
purpose of building some 2,4OO miles of
railroad, and it was eventually developed
that this was in effect the Atchison. Topeka
and Santa Fee company Uuder this char
ter it has already this year completed about
$50 miles Of road and has some $50
miles more ready for the track,
with large additions contemplated
in the central and southern parts of the
state. Now the same great company pro-
poses to push forward in northern and
western Kansas, and it has secured the in
corporation of the Kansas and Nebraska
railroad company, with capital of $685.
500, 900 for the stated purpose of building
no less than sixteen lines-One or more run
ming across the entire breadth of the state
and Others branching north and south at
frequent intervals. Meantime the Missouri
Pacific and the Chicago. Rock Island and
Pacific are pushing into the same fields
which the Atchison proposes to occupy,
and the race between these great corpora
tons will involve the expenditure of an
enormous amount of capital and the en-
ployment of vast army of men, and will
form markabIe history of the youthful
state Happily the conflict which is now
to be waged upon its plains will be blood
less, and is for the purpose of up-building
and peopleing the state instead of laying it

THE.MINNESOTA PARTY.

To the Editor of the Eagle
We have done up" Lake Minnetonka
with its numerous hotels, one of which, the
La Fayette..is 600 feet long, and from three
to FIVE stories high. The lake has from
twelve to fifteen steamers, all seemingly
very busy carrying passengers and excur-
sion partics.s I'VE have also visited Calhoun
lake and Harriet lake, and Minnehaha
Falls where some of the ramblers drank
"spring chickens" If you don't believe
it ask Fritz Snitzler.
We have also done up this city, and |
must say that for large, expensive business
buildings, mills, and beautiful costly res
licences and grounds this city surpasses any
city ever saw. The most conspicuous of
these is the new residence of w. d. Wash
burn, the big mill man. The house and
grounds occupy full square on hill or
elevation, The house is built of Lake
Superior pink sandstone, with granite base
ment 1t cost $225,O0O The barn
is built of pressed brick with stone
trimming, and probably cost several times
as much as the best house in our town.
The grounds are laid out with graveled
drives and walks. and terraced and beauti
fled with all sorts of plants. trees and shrub
berry There are more beautiful lawns in
the residence part than l ever saw before
in one city, and they are better kept and
cared for. No expense seems to be spared
to make them so.
A portion of our party will go to Duluth
this week and take some fish out of Lake
Superior, if they will bite.
We are having a splendid time and en-
joying ourselves hugely, if not more.
Some of our party talk of going out to
Lake Indepenence, where Col Woodcock
and party are. They hear that the Colonel
has large lot of ''cut bait" for them and
will entertain them princely with his fish
stories. Yours, &c,

THE CAMPBELL NORMAL UNIVER-
SITY.


To the Editor Of the Eagle.
While taking vacation ramble in the
northern part of the state had the gooC
fortune to be in the beautiful little city OF
Holton during commencement week Of
the Campbell Normal university.
The school year of this university con
sists of forty-eight weeks, the extra sum
mer term of eight weeks being great &C
commodation for teachers, thus bringing
commencement later in the year than in
the majority of our colleges.
This normal school has made rapid pro-
gress during its four years existence, the
enrolment for the past year bong 459 stu
dents, probably as good a record as any in
stitution in the state.
Among the pleasant events of commence
ment week was the Alumni banquet held
in the spacious grounds of President j. Fl.
Miller's home. Although but the third
meeting of this alumni association it was
highly enjoyed by the old students, who
take the same interest in their alma mater
as do the alumni of the National normal
university of Lebanon, Ohio, of which
this school is an Outgrowth.
The alumnal address, most effective
and able one-was delivered by one of the
ladies of the lcass of 'S5.
Thursday, July 80, was devoted to the
orations of the two graduating classes The
teachers class. numbering twelve members,
occupied the time in the afternoon.
The scientific class, containing ten mem
bers, held the closest attention of the au-
dience for over three hours in the evening
The presentation of diplomas was made
by DR.. Havens, ID. D., who forty three
years ago graduated from Yale, thirty
three years of which time was spent in the
ministry in New Haven In his remarks
to the class and audience, he made the
statement that some of the orations deliv-
cred that evening, were equal in merit to
any he had ever heard
We predict for this institution a brilliant
future. 1t has corps of able instructors,
an elegant building. which was erected
through the generosity of Mr. Campbell
from whom the school received its name)
and good boarding at reasonable rates, both
in clubs and private families, can be OBJ

The faculty take a personal interest in
the students and endeavor to make their
stay with them as pleasant and profitable
as possible.

RAILROAD BUILDING IN THE WEST
From the Chicago Journal

From the Chicago Journal
Certain English newspapers are express
ing the opinion that the various railroad
enterprises contemplated and underway in
the United Statss will not be profitable
The theories of these writers is that we al
ready have too many railroads and that all
or much of the new mileage projected will
be in the nature of overbuilding
This only shows how little Englishmen
know of America By far the greater por-
ton of the new lines viii be built in the
west and northwest and will run through
territory that is very rich in agricultural
and mineral resources. and which is settling
up rapidly Many of the new lines viii
be in the nature os feeders 10 old established
roads. running into new and rich regions,
which will be filled with settlers in advance
Of the railroads. Ii is astonishing how
rapidly this new agricultural territory OF
the west develops. In Kansas, Nebraska
and Dakota towns spring up as if by magic
when il is known that railway, connection
is assured, and these towns become the CEN
ter of extensive and fruitful farming dis
tricts. There can be no risk in building
railroads into such country, so loag as
they are not built parallel to old lines, but
reach out into new and unopened territory.

DEATH OF SAMUEL J. TILDEN.

:. In the death of Hon Samuel J. Tilden
America loses one of the prominent figures
of the present generation. He was great
man in every station 10 which he was
called, not only as the great reform gov
ernor of the Empire state, but as Trainer
of constitutions, as legislator and as a
lawyer He was born in New York state
and was admitted to the bar in New York
city. As a politician of the higher plane
he probably has had few equals in this
country. and as shrewd counselor in par
tisan councils he was unapproachable.
