TIE RAxpLsR.s RECITATION.

Yesterday was one of the fine days and
the town was lively.
see that old man Jacobs, the dog man,
i. out of jail again and parading around
with his dogs.
A gentleman who lives up by the Little
river informed me that some parties have
nets in that stream, in violation OF the fish
laws, published in the EAGLE about q month
ago. Whoever these parties are, they may
get into trouble, as there is q fine of $50.
besides imprisonment, attached to this Of
Tense, and the informant gets the $50, which
will probably be sufficient inducement to
somebody to look the matter up. am not
an informer by any means, but l would like
to inform these fishermen of the risk they
are running so they may fee
from the wrath to come. Fish
ye not lest ye may be fished for verify. YER
lily 1 say unto you the infcrmer is abroad
in the land and $50 goes if you are found
guilty.
81 see BY this morning'a EAGLE said dem
ocrat to me yesterday that the Southern
Confederacy still lives and JEFF Davis is
still president. Now, sir, 1 an one OF those
democrats that have been preaching that all
this late unpleasantness ought to be buried
and kept out of sight. Lots Of US have
been preaching agrainst Grand Army dem
onstrations, reunions and everything calcu-
lated to perpetuste the memory OF that
mighty struggle, but in view Of such DEM
onstrstions as that held at Montgomery,
the anti-union differences of Jen
Davis and the spirit manifested
on that occasion, for one democrat shall
never decry union sentiments and union
demonstrations again. Talk about liberality,
who sir the world cannot produce like in
stance of freedom of speech. There is no
other government under the sun and there
never was, monarchy or republic that would
tolerate anything like that. In any other
country in the world jeff Davis and those
who applauded his anti-wsr uttersnces,
would have been placed behind the bars
within twenty-four hours"
There are no mechanics out Of work in
Wichita just now and if there is not large
influx of that class here this summer there
won't be. net two different men yester-
day who were hunting for idle carpenters,
so with the building boom Of residences
big stores, hotels, $4,000 Santa Fe depo I
| opera house, wagon works, the new Catholic
church. bishops residence, orphan asylum,
college, and the Lord only knows what else,
Wichita will boom with An immense boom
and mechanics will have picnic.
John Exton received dispatch yesterday
from Mr.. Farnhsm, of the firm of Corner,
Farnhsm & DAVIS, for whom he is building
the coffee and spice mills, asking him to
build q further addition TO the building 60
as to double the capacity, and SO it goes.
Go where you will and talk to any repre-
sentative man of Wichita and he can tell
you of some big scheme, not schemes in
| the distant future, but this summers.
l arm afraid that can't keep track of them
all even with female attachment l have
abou. abandoned the job of keeping track
of fortunes made in real estate.
Doc Worrall sold hi. place for $500
| Yesterday that cost him $3.50 in 1878. That's
the sor, of town this is. Men from back
east coma one day and price property
They think it is away up too high. so they
go out to see some Of Che neighboring
towns, and while they are gone some big
scheme develops that advances tie property
they were looking at so per cent. before
| they return. Then they arc s"rry they
didn'; bug. That very thing has been goirg
on here for five Ut six Year,. one sitter sn-
other making oEe or two ihoa-
sand on rarrhas.. vel SOME OF
cur own .i.izs..s are afraid IL
spread out vet l wish were permitted to
give away all the big schemes l am onto,
but they amt ripe yet. There is one scheme
| that dare not mention which involves an
outlsy of 100000. 1; viii be several days
before this is ripe.
The base ball and polo mania is on in
earnest. A polo club is organized with
Capt Murray Myers as manager, which will
be brought up to the highes: rank. full
fedged base ball nine is also organized and
will rattle the bat with the best clubs in the
state this summer. II. G. Lee has kindly
donated Lees park on South Msin street
for base ball and polo grounds for the sum
mer, and the boys, who. by the way, are
poor, will probably ask some small donations
from cur citizens to fence the park. No
doubt they will succeed in this, as it will
never do to LET Wichita hang behind in the
great national game.
