CATTLE LOSSES.

The past season has been an exceptional
one, very hot and very dry season with
short harvcsts of leading crops. Our
farmers will remember the experiences of
the winter which followed summer like
this a few years ago Hundreds, we may
say thousands, of heads of cattle died from
from being turned into the corn fields.
Dry husks and the lack of plenty of water,
salt, etc., had the effect of destroying many
herds Of cattle We have only to suggest
that if those Of our farmers who propose
to turn their cattle into the corn stalk fields.

least twice each day and plenty of it. pure,

WICHITA AS \ CLEARING HOUSE.

From the Fl Dorado Republican.
Ii is but few years ago when LeaveI-
worth and Kansas City were the money
ccnters for all of what was then the settled
portion OF Kansas, but short time elapsed
when Topeka became the clearing house
for the then great southwest And then it
was but short time afterwards when EN-
poria became the recognized exchange
center Of this portion Of the state But
now we have to chronicle another and still
greater change from east TO west. The
banks Of all southwest Kansas find that it
is better and more convenient 20 make
Wichita the great clearing house CT finar
cial center of this region. Not only does
the center Of population drift westward,
but the wealth and banking facilities move
with it.

GARDEN PLAINS, Kan, Oct. 1G.-About
week ago the members of Mt Olive Bap-
tist church and some dear friends outside
of the church concluded to make a raid on
our pastor, Elder w. W, Dorman. to show
him how much we appreciated his self-sac-
riicing watchcarc over US during his eight
years pastorate with us. So on the morn
ing of the fifteenth, about thirty OF US
gathered our little bundles and wentt our
pastors home, about twelve miles southeast
where we enjoyed the complete surprise OF
himself and family in seeing forty-thrce
dollar range carried into the kitchen, on
which we soon had bountiful dinner pre-
pairing Of which we partook with thankful
hearts and hungry stomachs. The after
noon passed all to soon, as all pleasant
things do in this world, in music and con
versation, "therc being two excellent fhu
sicans present" We departed leaving oul
pastor about fifty dollars better off by oul
visit and we hope feeling more than evel
that he has the love, prayers and sympathy
of his church, as we'll as the goodwill anC

We note that some correspondent in the
Kingman Democrat makes number of
charges against Frank Robertson, the Re
publican nominee for county superintend

county The charges are most frivolous as
n whole. one of them being that Mr. Rob

Mr.. Robertson is graduate Of the Normal

WHAT MR.. GOULD DID SAY.

Kansas CITY thinks she will get the Mis-
souri, Pacific machine shops and general
Offices from st. Louis. Gould talked that
way when he was in Kansas City a few
DAYS ago, the papers say. So what the
Wichita EAGLE calls the Windy Won
der" is correspondingly happy. As Jay
also visited Wichita on the same trip and
rode in a carriage with the editor Of the
EAGLE. we advise the public to wait till it
hears from the EAGLE before giving entire
credit to the Kansas City papers on this
subject. ct.-Emporia Daily Globe.
In face of fhc fact that Chicago is soon
to become the terminus of the Santa Fe
system instead Of Kansas City, and the fact
that the Chicago & Rock Island and other
trunk lines, belonging to the Missouri river
pool and terminating at Kansas City. are
making energetic preparations to pull out
to the base of supplies, the Kansas City pa
pers are simply seizing upon every little
circumstance to bolster up that town S
waning boom. The Missouri Pacific owns
and controls some very important interests
at the mouth Of tie Kaw which interests,
Mr.. Gould, as president of that system,
will protect and foster, as would
any levcl-headed business man; but
Mr.. Gould has no distinctive love tor a
place whose business men and papers, less
than ten days ago, were raising heaven and
earth to boycott him, simply and solely be
cause that gentleman and his management,
acting on the logic of events, and in the
l ght Of Developments and the necessities
of the environments, had recognized the
coming importance of Wichita as trade
center, and had, therefore, taken steps to
conserve the present and future interests OF
the Missouri Pacific at this point. AS Dir.
Gould observed, to the writer, in the dis,
cussion Of these very matters, "W lch!ta
backed as she is, by a broader, richer and
better developed country and surrounded
as she is by greater number CT live and
really prosperous towns than Kansas City
is now or ever was backed and surrounded
! bv, Wichita therefore had nothing to fcal
or to court so far as Kansas City OF
any other town or city was concerned.
That while he should naturally protect
and foster his interests at Kansas City and
st. Louis, and to the mutual benefit Of both
of those towns as well as to the Missouri
Pacific interests, he yet and, nevertheless
was not blind to the fact that while Nich
ita now reached both Chicago and St. Louis
independently of Kansas City, yet WIGHT;
would still continue the prominent ant
stragetic point from which he could anc
would not only reach all southwestern
Kansas, but the coal and mines of Colorado
upon the cne hand, and the grazing country
and steers of the Texas Panhandle countr,
upon the other hand.
While we don't think it just the thin!
for the Globe to call out such matters by
course which really compcls Us to speak
nevertheless, the truth as seen net only b.
Mr.. Gould, but by many others, may JUS
as well be told, especially as it works nj
wrong TO Kansas City or to any othc
point.

ARKANSAS CITY, KANSAS.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
The quiet of our city was disturbed yes
tcrday morning by the report that r. H.
Lupton had committed suicide by cutting
his throat. Nothing unusual in his ap
pearancc had been noticed. He left the
kitchen and stepped out of the door about
o'clock a. m, and in about twenty min
utes his wife went to the cellar and saw
him living there She called for help and
upon examination it was found that his
throat was cut from ear to ear The cut
measured two and three quarter inches in
depth and four inches across. He has been
melancholy since last winter when he had
an attack Of erysipelas.
The coroner came and held an inquest,
and the verdict Of the jury was death at his
own hands.
We still boom. New buildings are going
up all over town. The water works arc in
operation, but the official test has not been
made. More anon. G.

Miss Horner read an original poem before

scription of an autumnal rain. and the fol-
