ENGLEW0OD, KANSAS.

The Star Of the Western Empire is pic
turesquely situated near the wooded banks
Of the Cimmaron River, in the center OF q
large and 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 Quitting point for the new Oklahoma
OF the west. ''Tbe'public land strip, (which
extends 160 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 Englewood holds
the key to the commercial trade Of q 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.
Englewood will not wait years for slow
increase OF population TO bring It into no
tiee, rs hundreds Of other cities have done.

the town. The editor came here with
his material across the country from
Nebraska in wagons, encountcring
and endureing the January billiards.
On one OCCASION, between this place
and Wa Keeny, by dint of hard
work from early morn until
late at night the party succeeded in
traversing distance of four miles
through the binding and drifting
snow. This may be taken as an indi-
cation of the staying qualities of the
Journal quill drivers.
Over there, across the avenue, fancy
the journal Office, and looking south
over Vine street plump at Schoenhut's
two-story bakery and restaurant,
stands the new $4,000 hotel, or at
least the frame work. which will be
enclosed in few days and will be
ready for the plasterers in about two
weeks. This is an immense structure
50x100, three full stories high. and
looks like vast wilderness Of posts
and scantling. Rising in an orbiculsr
figure above the circular stairway.
forty feet from the ground floor, will
be beautiful glass dome. On the
southeast corner pointing away up
among the stars will rise q strictly
tower. These, in combination with a
mansard roof, will produce q fine
architectural effect seldom seen in the
west. The fact that all the
timbers for this towering ed
ifice were framed On the
ground before stick was raised, and
have since gone together, piece by
piece, like clock work, is good sized
feather in the cap of the architect, the
modest and unassumiag Mr.. Halo
well, formerly of your city.
The fact wish to emphasize is that
structure-like the Journal building
and the hotel fix things in a business
way. A good fighter will go into the
thickest of the fray to lead. Little
Phil Sheridan was not of the kind
who stood in the rear and Justify
shouted, ego in" but rather, placing
himself in the front, said, "Come on,
boys" and you well remember they
"come." So it is here in a financial
way. The members of the Dighton
Town company take the lead in the
legitimate enterprises. There is 10
Achilles sulking in his tent wish them.
They take the front line and by the
placing of their money and reputation
too in the scale, say: Come on. And
that, sir, is why the business man and
the capitalist are here to stay.

THE BOOMING CITY OF DIcHroN
Facts and Observations by One Who
Has Been There.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The town of Dighton is booming in
great shape. 1t is no longer an inter-
rogation point. We have passed be-
yond the embryotic period and now
stands with both feet firmly plante,!
on solid earth.
Capitalists and investors in town
lots and farm properties come here
now in numbers and determination as
they never came elsewhere, and il is
no trouble to sell-the difficulty is To
hold them down. They are not salts
fed with one or even half dozen lots.
they want the earth, and want il on or
near Wichita avenue.
Your people at distance may say
they are wild, but let me tell you, sir,
their is method in their madness.
Never in the history of this great state
has there been such opportunity for
fructifying speculation as is here Of
fered. The man who buys lot today.
on the morrow finds his lot almost
doubled in value. What was vacancy
yesterday, today is covered with ma
terial for a fine business house or
residence; and so it goes, week in and
week out. Nothing short of the hand
of the Omnipotent can stay this on
ward march.
Now, the secret of this does not lie
in the fact that Dighton is confessedlv
located in the centre of wide sweep
of fertile prairie, that for richness of
soil and grandeur of prospect is un-
surpassed in this indispensable COM
monwealih. No, sir: l point with
pride TO the able and efficient mall
agement of the Dighton Town COM
pany, under the eage-eye of Mr.. Viii
liam Barnard. who is on the ground.
He has faith in the town, and in the
country. and through him the Town
company speaks in no uncertain
voice.
Let me say, the money received for
lots is not boarded up and dividend
struck every few days for the sole
benefit of few stockholders. On the
contrary, the company has entered
upon broad aud comprehensive
plan of improvements that gives sta
bility to the place, and begets conf
dence in the minds of men that can
not be shaken by the false representa-
tons of would-be rival companies.
Go where you may, base metal is
found with the pure. Business men
this: hence when man of
capital and good horse sense comes
here he quickly decides for himself
what is best. To use homely vet

ANYONE who mas ever dealt in lands,

such venture If carefully made. To

very rapidly and with steady growth
which gives assurance of stability. The
good season and the great tide of immis
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas, free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter, added to a soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements.

The Waverly Magazine, the remarkably
successful invention Of the late Moses 4. Dow,
Is one of the very few serial publications that
have derived hut little sustenance from ad-
vertisements In some other respects the
magazine was managed on unique plan. Its
ingenious proprietor had been in a position to
observe one phase of human yanity-the de-
sire to see ones writings in print. He had also
learned that there were hosts Of young people
touched with a madness for writing, but
whose productions found no market To these
| rising Bulwers and Sigourneys The Naverly
Magazine opened its doors, on conditions The
story or poem would be printed, provided the
| author would purchase a hundred copies.
more or less, and also provided, OF course, the
matter was. for no reason, Objectionable.
Without intention, SO far as is known, The
| Waverly has served as a nursery for young
authors, and there are goodly number of
writers Of acknowledged merit whose maiden
efforts were given to the public on its neatly
! printed pages The financial success of the
scheme being widely known, limitations were
attempted, but in no case, we believe, with
profit to the publishers This fashion of re-
| quiring authors to contribute to the Circula-
ton of their works, it may be said in passing,
is common enough in the music publishing
trade, and is by no means unknown among
the publishers of hooks.-Boston Transcript.
