There lives man in this neighbor-
hood who has been constant reader
of the EAGLE the entire winter,
always borrowed from two of his
neighbors; knowing this to be true, |
asked him 10 subscribe, No" said he,
much i'm the EAGLE and | only get the
loan of il TO examine the Wichita mar
kets." "You must be looking through
a gimlet hole. said l. or you could see
that the EAGLE is jsmmed full of in
teresting reading matter every week"
"Wcll, won't take it, can borrow
when | want 10 look at the

Mulvaue will boom in the near fu-
ture as she has never doomed before.
While it is not expected that Mulvane
will make large city like Wichita, it
is predicted with reasonable degree
of certainty that Mulvane will make a
city Of 1000 inhabitants within few
years.
The enthusiasm in regard TO coal
and railroads has come TO the surface
again. Ii is not deluded enthusiasm
that gets the predomjnsnce of reason
and makes mad men. Ii is not that
kind of enthusiasm that flashes and
glares like some of those revolving
lights on the sea coasts, but steady,
firm. constant, like the nine-inch vein
of coal found last Friday. The simple
assertion of geologist or of man
regularly scholared 10 scientific OBJ
servation may outweigh the testimony
of a thousand men with no education,
but when | see q thing with naked
eye it is enough for me. Eastern men
are coming TO Mulvane every day: new
buildings will be erected soon.
Mr.. Runge, the elevator man. sold
several hundred bu- hels of oats TO men
representing the c. b. 4 5. railroad,
and from many other things would
clearly indicate that work on said road
will commence soon. Coal has been
found as above stated, at depth of
ninety feet. John Logan is drilling
for coal with every prospect of finding
it. Mulvane will be city with two or
three railroads, with plenty of coal,
beautiful churches. school houses, sud
the happiest people in the west, and
and the sooner eastern people have a
realizing sense of this fact the better il
will be for Mulyane. STANTON.
