CASH CITY.

Our friand, Cash Henderson, of the New

Geld, and also turns up famous. The town
which was laid out IN Clark county on his
land and named Cash City, has got boom,
and what's q new town without q boom.
The Ashland Herald contains the following
notice.
"a report comes to US this week that
there is boom at Cash City, in the western
part Of the county. Its favorable location,
and the liberal inducements offered by the
managers, ere attracting large numbers to
the thriving young city, and it promises to
become one of the best towns in the county"
From the Clark County Clipper we clip
also the following:
"Was surveyed and plated only this
spring and is being rapidly pushed by q
company of Wichits capitalists. 1t is located
fifteen miles west of Ashland at the crossing
of the Jones & Plumner cattle trail by the

LIFE OR DEATH-WHICH2

"See here did you ever make an announce
ment il your paper to the effect that half OF
this town would 90 the way of all the earth
very shortly if they don't quit using this
water in the wells?" said q fellow to an
EAGLE reporter yesterday by way of intro
ducing new subject
And being informed that no such serious
news had been given the public and being
asked Tor his pointers on the subject he
surrendered them without hesitation.
Just look al those wells by the sidewalks
on Main ST snd Douglas avenue. How ex-
ceedingly dangerous it is for person
to drink out of the sewers Of the city,
yet hundreds of people do that
very thing every day. 1t has al
ways been a question in my mind how
people can be so foolish as to be guilty Of
such an act The fact is daily demonstrated
that they are, and now the question presents
itself, how can they be induced
to do better. All the physicians tell
us thst Disease inevitably follows
the drinking of such water, and On such
question as this we are led 10 give credance
and place confidence in their opinions, as il
is in their line of business, and none but
them are really entitled to An opinion on the
fubject. It being certain that death will be
the result of continued use Of
this water during the hot season
would il not be policy for the city TO take
some means of putting the water out Of the
reach of the thoughtless, II is evident that
the city can do that much quicker than the
persons who know no better than to drink it
can be taught to act differently. By stopping
the wells our solons would act on the same
principle they would by preventing 4 man
from eating strychni2e who thought it was
bread.
at is simply question Of life and death
Now, would j: be better TO slow the people
to continue drinking this filthy water until
some deadly disease makes its appearance
and captures n numbe- of victims or prevent
such frightful result by promp; measures
l need not answer the question"
The above remarks caused the reporter to
seek the opinion of several other gentlemen
on the subject and among others some of
the physicians. and they all agreed that the
matter was of permanent importance TO our
people

Despite the dilapidating warm weather
and tho lsziness Of man, created and pro-
longed by his surroundings, . new scheme

for publication and waits patiently for de-
veiopment. Everything is the result OF

pliers, and verify the cause of the origin Of
this little scheme would suggest that the
doctrine Get forth in the above quotation Is
in q measure correct.
An EAGLE reporter was talking to one Of
the moguls of the city yesterday, when he
came at him about as follows:
"WeiI fyou want some news do you"
said he, in answer TO q very common ques-
ton.
want a new scheme, I SUPPOSE" he
continued, with healthy smile spread over
| all the noccupied territory of his enterpfis-
ing countenance.
On being assured that another new enter
prise would be acceptable, be turned him
eelf loose about as follows:
"a number of US fellows have concluded
that we, like most all our city people, could
relish little amusement now and then, just
as well as people in older cities. In view Of
this fact we have been looking over the
field with a view of starting something of
that nature. The most favorable scheme
that We have struck yet and in fact
fthe only one that presents It.
self to us as being at all
able to meet the demands is the steamboat
ides"
Just here the solemnity Of the occasion
was broken by laugh that could not be
adapted to psrlor use on account of its size,
if for no more serious objections. This was
participated in by few listeners, who con-
tinued in this way of greeting the new idea
until the quiet temper of the gentleman who
had the floor was somewhat aroused, suffici-
entity, at least, to set his tongue to work
more briskly and give his contenance .
more stern appearance.
"What can you do with steamboat out
on the prairie, mani" said an agitated fellow
as soon as he was able 10 utilize his first
breath.
1--WE don't propose to have boat we can
run on the prairies but one of the old
fashioned kind that glides along on the
water" was the quick reply.
"You seem not to have noticed the exist
ing phenomena sufficiently to have an in
telligent idea of our water facilities. The
big river is high from the month Of May
until September. This you will observe is
the picnic part of the year whei the pent up
people long to take rest from continued
labor and business matters. liz view Of all
the facts number Of us have come to the
conclusion that it would psy to builc
small fiat bottomed boat,
one that viii draw about one foot of water
or something over, and propelled by stern
wheel. II will be devoted exclusively to
the transportation of people for few miles
up and down the river. 1t will come in on
excursions and parties desiring to take q look
st the country and enjoy the pure air for
few hours. For large crowds fat will be
built which can be pushed by the little boat
and serve to accommodate hundreds"
After the gentleman had told the above
and a considerable more the little crowd
dispersed, all agreeing the idea was . new

TIE FIRST ROAD AND THE UNION
DEPOT.

President Long, of the Kansas, Colombo
and Texas railroad, the extension of the big
foar, the road that comes TO Wichita from
Kansas City, vas in the city last evenins.
He was direct from New York. It viii b
seen by referring to the proclamstions that
this is to be the first road in, al least it gives
itself the least time to reach Wichita. He
says that if his road does not prove the most
popular of all the lines reaching this city it
viii not be the fault of its construction,
service or connections, in other words, that
it is the bigeet, longest and richest road that
ever entered the state. Mr.. Long was here
to look over the ground especially with
reference 70 ingrees and egress. He says
that it seems to him that with three new
roads into Wichita union depon is newt
able and that our city council would do well
to commence thinking abou: the matter. a
union depot has its advantages and disad-
vsntages, but we are half inclined to believe
him correct. Mr.. Long goes south this
morning.

S. Garrison is ready to do business as justice
of the peace in the city. This is occssio1ed
by his residence, which was in Wichita

justice of the peace, being admitted into the
city. 1t appears that the law is that COM
mission cannot be annulled in consequence
of a change Of boundaries, therefore Mr.
Garrison has legal right to hear cases in

Dumping dead animals outside the corpora
