Kanapolis, the new Kansas capital
scheme, is bait for gudgeouns. The
company on its map radiates nine
trunk line railroads from their great
central humbug.-Wichi:a EAGLE.
We can inform the EAGLE that there
are millions of dollars behind kanap-
oils and that ii is not "a bait TO catch
gudgeons." The enterprise means
business and we might as well recog-
niza the fact. Both Topeka and Wich-
ita had better look out for their lau-
reis. Indeed, Notwithstanding the
solid foundation unon which Emporil
rests. we are not so sure bat that Kan.
apolis may gather in some of tn. en-
terprises that would otherwise have
conferred a; this point. Still we have
but little fears so far as this city IL
concerned, as the status Of Emporia Is
so soiidly fixed in all those advantages
which form the basis of great me,
tropolis that we really fear no rivals
But cities like Wichita and Topeka
tbs foundations of which are not 60
sure, NAV be seriously affected in
their future growth by All enterprise
so formidable as Kanapolis.-Emporia

ST. Joseph Herald: Ii is with pleas
ure and profound qualification that
we can announce TO the people of ST.
Joseph this morning that the 5000, 900

The lines they have in contemplation
west embrace many hundreds of miles
Also the following from The Gazette
will have a bearing:

THE EAGLE LINE TO HUTCH
INSON

Three weeks ago q committee,
Messrs. S. w. Campbell, L. A. Bigger,
and H. Raft went to New York to
see Jay Gould, Geo. Gould and A. L.
Hopkins in reference to securing the
Wichita and Colorado railroad for
Hutchinson. Our citizens have been
working hard for this line for several
months past but only with tolerable
success as there were many adverse
influences to contend with, but we
are happy now to announce to our
readers that the whole thing is settled
and that a black and white accept
arce of our committees PROPOSE
ton can be seen at the First National
Bank. The line will cross the
river several miles south of town and
come in to the city either on the south
and go out on the northwest, or run
ND and cross the Santa Fe by the sugar
factory and 60 out on the north to-
wards LYONS. AS the strike was in
full bloom when the committee first
got to New York, the final papers
could not be completed until last
Thursday, and Mr.. Campbell remained
to see the matter through. He re-
turned last night and to-day all Hutch
inson is happy, and real estate is go
ing in all directions at big prices. The
propositions tor calling the election
viii be submitted here this week, and
the road, with everything favorable,
can be running into Hutchinson
within sixty or ninety days, giving q
direct connection with Wichita and
st. Louis, which means cheap stone
cheap coal and cheap lumber, also it
means competing line on grain and
stock shipments east. The Colorado
and Wichita railroad is part o.
Gould's Missouri Pacific system, and
will be another trunk line. which, witt
the great Santa Fe we already have
and the Rock Island, that is preparing
propositions to submit here this week
also, will give Hutchinson three trunk
lines and insures us big town.
