ENGLEWOOD, KANSAS.

The Star OF the Western Empire is pic
turesquely situated near the wooded banks
Of the Cfmmaron River, in the center of a
large aud beautiful valley--the grandest
wheat, corn and grass gre wing country in
the world; destined TO be the great rail-
road, commercial and manufacturing centre
OF sunny southern Kansas. because of nat
u-al surroundings, beautiful location, and
the many railroads now projected and build
ing toward it, being as it is the supplying
and oatfitting point for the new Oklahoma
OF the west. .'rhe public land strip"
extends lG0 miles TO the south and west and
which comprises the most wonderful grain
and grass producing soil on the globe. IL
the great cattle field in the west. No other
town in western Kansas is SO favor
ably situated to become a large city, and IL
cannot be disputed that Engiewood holds
the key TO the commercial trade of vast
area Of untold and ever increasing wealth;
its prospects are unequalled, and its rise
and progress bids fair to he unparalleled in
the history OF this western country
Euglewood will not wait year. for a slow

TOO THIN.

The proprieters OF the new town of
Kanopolis are sending out PROPOSE
lions to papers throughout the coun-
try TO advertise their town to the
amount of $3.50, and take it in lots.
Lots surveyed from wild prairie won't
buy paper or pay hands. If the new
capital scheme is as thin as their prop
osition it won't amount to much. The
dodge of trying to get all the news
papers interested, through the own
ership of property, won't work. If
the Kanopolis town company want to
advertise in the EAGLE they must
come down with the cash or its equiv
alent. Lands which cost about five
dollars au acre cut up into lots at a
cost each of about twenty-five cents
and palmed off on newspapers at one
hundred and fifty dollars each may be
a smart proceeding, but We fail TO see
where the smartness comes in.

TO which several oysters wero attached,

monger's shop, where 1t had been on view
for several months. On examination the
oysters were proved to be all alive, with the
exception OF those the shell OF which was not
quite intact.
The conclusion which NJ Veriil draws
from this fact aai fl, m experiments of tho

oysters with perfect shell are placed in a

Mira. Thompson, who has just been
re-appointed postmaster at Louisville,
KY, is quite character in her way.
She is the daughter of Alexander
Campbell, who wps the founder of the
sect of Complexities of which Garfield
was a mcmber. She was first ap-
pointed by President Hays. Mrs.
Thompson had her eye on the Louis
vile postoffice long before Hayes was
declared to be elected. AT first she
thought that Tilden would be success
full; SO she got up a monster petition
and addressed il 10 president Til
den" a little while afterward the
electoral commission declared in favor
OF Hayes. Mrs. Thompson, without
moments hesitancy, struck out the
word "Tilden' at the head of the
petition and inserted the word
"Hayes." When the petition reached
the white house, Hayes attsu,ion
wss drawn TO il. lie laughed heartily
when told Of what Mrs. Thompson
had done, and after saying that cit

ON the new railroad at Mulvane.
Several gangs of men are at work
west of the river where the right of
way has been secured. Work on the
east end of the line is being pushed
with celebrity and it is generally pre-
dicted that the road will run direct
from Augusta through Rose Hill to
Mulyape. Thus the last hope of ever
having q railroad station on Dick
Wygal's. land is lost. 1t may be an ex-
ageration to say that in
five years Mulvane will be q
bigger town than Newton

it is no exaggeration to say that the
Hand alone that created the land
around Mulvane is the only Hand that

agricultural country. AS DIR. w. X.

the Almighty the cOuntry;;" and in

farm Of 204 IL acres for s. 800, put
on his button shoes and linen coat
and started for the land of his child
hood, with a view of lettering his
condition. As the road was excellent,
he needed no rubber boots; the
weather being all that even a Kansas
man could ask, he wanted no SUPER
fluous clothing; and, with the gentle
Kansas zephyrs signing through the
trees that he had planted, the warm,
pleasant sunshine causing everything
to grow on the land that he had beau
tilted by many years of honest toll,
with one Jump as it were he landed
kneedeep in mud in Ford county, Hi
nois. Ii showed some, rained some,
and then il did something else. His
wearing appearal was exchanged for
something to prevent his shaking
himself into smithercens, and with
another jump he landed in Kansas,
paid $4,000 in cash for 160 acres of
land adjoining his old farm and is now
the happicst of men.
