seventy five foot front on State street, and
about the same on Fifth avenue, to be used
as hotel and banking house. 1t is whis-
pered that a new brick and stone building
is also to go up on the southwest corner Of

a THROUGH LINE.

Should the Santa Fe succeed in acquiring
a control of the Frisco as their Mississippi
river or St. Louis outlet by the time the
Wichita and W estern reaches Dodge City,
which latter road is being built by the
Santa Fe and Frisco jointly, the main line
of the Santa Fc, or in other words, the
trans-continental line, would be by way of
Wichita and over such line would the
through Pacific trains be operated or run.
1t would be the shortest and most direct
continental line yet constructed or that
could possibly be constructed. The posi-
bility of such move is now strong prob
ability. The readers of the EAGLE will re-
member how, before the construction Of
the W. & W. was even talked of that this
paper pointed out the wisdom Of such a

IRREPRESSIBLE SAM.

Sam Wood, formerly of Lawrence, later
of Council Grove, still later of Cottonwood
Falls and Emporia, Pueblo and Denver and
who left his last place of residence, Topeka,
TO make another attempt at home in place
named by himself and for himself IN the ex-
treue southwest Kansas; Sam Wood, who
has lived not only in every portion of the
state but who has belonged to every politi-
cal party that ever had an organization in
the state; Sam Wood the politician,
preacher. lawyer and journalist. warrior,
Quaker Snd spiritualist, is in trouble. 1t is
said that. he has been mobbed out in south
west Kansas by the people Of Hngoton
who didn't want the notorious Sam to set
tie in their section. There is 10 law for
thus summarily disposing Of a terrible per
soma incubus, but our sympathies are with
the mob. We hope that the people will
refrain from doing Sam any bodily violence
but they are warned that if they should fail
to scare him into fit, which by the way
they will find no easy task, the sooner that
the people make up their minds to abandon
the country to him the better it will be for
them. Sam is holy terror who summons
spirits to his aid notwithstanding he claims
to be prohibitionist as well as Democrat.
Since he quit Topeka that place has been
catching on quite smartly but Lawrence,
Council Grove, Emporia and Cottonwood
Falls never fully recovered from the per-
tinacious spells he put upon them. Socially,
this man Sam Wood, and who in Kansas
territorial days was a Observation-Disclosures,
is companionable and intellectually as bright
as the sparks from flint but withal he is
the devil himself for getting q community
by the ears.

growers samples of new varieties of wheat
received from the agricultural department

its adaptability to the climate and soil Of
Kansas. There are two varieties named
"Fulcas'er" and German Emperor. .
The originator of the "Fulcaster" claims
that it ripens from three TO six DAYS earlier
than most other varieties, and he also
claims superior milling qualities The
wheat was originated in the Cumberland
and Shenandoah valley region, one of the
finest winter wheat regions in the United
States. The German Emperor is inn
