HOISINCTON, KANSAS.
A Rich Country Opened Up to Wich-
ita'S Trade.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
On the 1st day of this month the Mis-
souri, Pacific was opened for passenger bus
mess as far west as McCracken, on the west
line of Rush county. Passenger and freight
trains are now regularly running to the lat
ter named point from Salina. Soon the
short gap between Mcpherson and Geneseo
will be closed by the Missouri Pacific, and
iron is now being laid south from Geneseo
by way of Lyons and Sterling to Hutchin-
son, and as.tbe Missouri Pacific is already
built from Wichita to Hutchinson this line
will, in about ninety days, be completed so
direct line of railroad northwest from
Wichita will open up for trade the best
portions of Reno, Rice, Barton and Rush
counties
BY the above it will be observed that the
main western line connects with three east
ern outlets-one at Salina, one by way of
Mcpherson and ElDorado, and the other
and most important of all by way of Ster-
ling and Hutchinson to Wichita.
The main western line passes through
the center east and west of Barton county,
and likewise through Rush county, and
opens up a large territory which before
has not had railroad, This
country has been settled ten or
twelve years is thickly settled already by
prosperous farmers.
Almost in the geographical center of
Barton county ard on the Missouri Pacific
is the new town Of Hoisingtown. The
plat of the town was only filed last week
and already fifty buildings are begun
The Missouri Pacific own half interest
in the town and citizens of this
county own the other half The town was
named in honor of Hon. A. J. Hoisington,
for ten years editor of the Register at
Great Bend and now resident of Garden
City.
From this new town of Hoisington is be
ing extended the southwest branch of the
Missouri Pacific by way of Great Bend ami
on southwest Already about five miles of
the grading is done from HoiSington out,
and the contract for bonds requires that the
first twelve miles shall have passenger
trains running over it by February Goth
next.
So quickly are the new lines of railroad /
extended and new towns built in the terri !
tory naturally tributary to Wichita that /
the EAGLE and the commercial interests OF /
Wichita must be very active to hold this /.

ALL OFF.

The editor of the EAGLE received dis
patch yesterday from the Chicago d Rock
Island headquarters which states emphati-
cally upon the authority of Mr.. Low that
there is no truth or foundation for truth in
the report of compromise between that
road and the Santa Fee involving an agree
ment binding the Rock Island to an aban-
donment of its Kansas projection.

PHILADELPHIA, March A.-Business
In every branch from banking down to
pig-irOn making has been unsettled some
what BY the strikes and labor agitatiOns,
and even at this hour there is some little
uncertainty as TO the outcome. The rail
road managers have been apprehensiYe
that the Southwestern strike might spread
east OF the Mississippi, and have coun-
seled tie managers there to prevent il.
The iron and steel manufacturers are on
the eve Of the heaviest spring and sum-
mer trade, and have been comparatively
free from strikes and labor troubles. The
textile manufacturers have ali advanced
wages from TO Is per cent, and have
come down TO one TO two weeks pay
where pays were monthly, and, having
made peace with their wOrkmen, are
moving forward into the spring and sum
mer trade with abundance OF orders. and
are realizing good prices. Textile pro-
dacts will sell remarkably week.-Mrs. year,
and nearly all establishments are well
sold up from one to four months. Carpets
Of all kinds are moving with wonderful
activity. Hosiery mills continue to work
overtime.

The cloth houses are doing an active
trade for both spring and summer, and
every branch Of the vast textile industry
is in a prosperous condition. The only
drawback is that importers are counting
upon having an Increase in imports Of

the increased cost Of American textile
products due to the advance named.
Within three or four days past the largest

have cabled abroad the largest orders

IL is probable that in two weeks three

THE srR1KING MINERS.

The twenty odd thousand bituminous
miners on strike expect 10 be ut work IN
ten days or two weeks at the advance
asked. The 10000 anthracite miners are
restless under the low prices Of anthra-
cite in all markets, but will not strike
until assured that the prices Of coal will
allow Il. All Of the leading industries
are in a vigorous condition. Although no
less business Is being done than antici-
pated. the boot and shoe manufacturers
OF the New England States aud Phila-
delDhia report business dun. Wool has
declined In price under heavy receipts
from abroad. steel rails are about 70
advance from $50 10 S36, and when Con-
gress adJourns they will advance further.
THE YELLOW PINE MARkEr.
The latest adyices from Michigan and
Georgia show that an enormous amount
Of white and yellow pine win be thrown
into the market during the coming sea-
son. Large consumers are refusing TO
place orders at present, believing that the
production OF the mills will result I'm a
depression Of prices OF 30 cents per
Thousand. A great deal OF sawmill ca
pacity has been erected within the past
Twelve months, and extensive timber pur.
chases are being made, with view Of i'm.
mediate development along the Atlantic
coast and In the Northwestern States.
All these aud some other causes are
creating an impression that white and
yellow pine, hemlOck. oak, walnut and
the hardwo0ds generally viii rule a little
lower.

LAKE MARANACooK, July

LAKE MARANACooK, July Z.
At the Chautauqua meeting the literary
exercises opened at ll.30, J. C. Haskell of
Auburn, presiding. The opening prayer was
made by Rev. George d. Lindsey of Auburn.
An address to the Chautauqua Teachers
Reading Union, was made by Prof. w. W.
Stetson OF Auburn in the absence of DR.. 7.
w. Bicknel OF Boston.
Rev. J w. Bashford. of Portland, spoke
in relation to the coming Fryeburg meeting.
Rev. Edward Hale, ID. d., of Boston, deliv-
cred an orstion on education. The same
will be delivered at Chautauqua. N. Y, soon.
The speaker referred to the fact that the
order had four hundred members in Japan
He argued that the languages as taught ia
the colleges were superficial and contended
for the thoroughness of the Chautauqua
course, and discussed three points of training,
bodily, mentally and spiritually, all bound
together. Society demands so much time
that we can devote but two or three hours
daily to mental Improvement. In this we
should choose well. Low spirits are some
times sign of poor training, not always a
lack of physical effort. There is moral
dyspepsia caused by the invaluable literature
so extensively read. He didn't attempt to
discuss the power of genius, but argued for
adaptibility. If you love to do anything do
it. In this you will excel. Elocution is
useless as a whole. Practice singing as this
improves the voice for ether work. Ye olden
time tinker was fitted With genius that sur
pass in brilliancy the so-called improvements
of modern times. Aud Lang Syne is sweeter
now than ever. He urged spirituality in
everything, and christian virtue as a need Of
life. He spoke one hour and was frequently
applauded The address was full of practi-
cal ideas.
The awarding of diplomas to the class of
