In HIS inaugural speech as Governor Of
Georgia last Tuesday General Gordon said
There is nowhere in this republic either
disloyal citizens or disloyal sentiments. But
everywhere all hearts, voices and arms arc
ready for the preservation of the general

the pledge of our peace and safety"

IoINT CONVENTIONS.

Two joint conventions were held yester-
day afternoon, one st Justice Walkers 6
court: and the other in Squire Thomas Of
fee. The delegates were brought TO the
conventions by officers and wouldn't come
if they could help it. There were seven at
each Office, thus dividing the work nicely.
This scribe has recorded the proceedings of
msny convention since the deliverance of
the Israelites, but never has he caught onto
one where the delegates were all of one
name, until he ran onto this one John Doe
WAS the name of every delegate and every
delegate was candidate and was elected
to iail-the term of office being thirty days
and the salary 500 each. which the success
full candidate was requested 20 hand over to
the court instead of getting paid for his own
labors.
The foregoing translated into English is
that fourteen joints were raided and the poor
fellows caught at the wheel, fined 500 and
ordered to jail for thirty days. Some paid
and some didn't. II was big haul, and who
would hsve thought thst there were so many
joints in quiet town lika this.

CITY MARKE

slow about The city market" said a gen.
tleman, wh ohss lived in the city some time,
to an EAGLE representative Yesterday.
On being inTi.eI 20 tell ,.ii ho knew ofthe
subject proposed. he gave himself up To -
prolonged talk on She matter.
SWELL" he continued, 'It amt been long
since no one thought we ever would need n
city market but this year has demonstrated
the fact that we are now in need Of one and
the necessity for such viii continue to be-
come greater.
Many of our farmers are making COM
plants and say they are very desirous that
the city would afford place where all can
sell or buy. OF course everyone knows all
the advantages that would be connected
with having market. 60 that point need
not be dwelt upon.
Other cities not as large as Wichita have
a well equipped market and centrally To-
csted so as to be convenient. The advisa-
bility of buying market coon can readily
be seen, as it will cost much less now than
in the future As it is needed and now i;
undoubtedly the best time to put it opora-
tion, there can be no question but that the
affair should entertain our city authorities

rHE KANSAS MIDLAND RAILWAY co.

The directors of this company are now
prepared to submit to our Taxpayers pro-
position for bonds in aid of this important
line of road for their approval and endorse
ment, and asking that they give the enter
prise, by their signatures to the petition and
votes at the polls, such encouragement as
will secure TO our city this invaluable rail-
way.
As in our issue of the 9th inst. We pointed
out the richness and fertility of the section
to be traversed by this line of road, and the
msny advantages that will naturally accrue
to our vigorous and progressive city by its
construction, we will not dwell on those
points now. It is suficieu. for Us to say
thst the Midland will open up new, rich
and growing section of our stste,now greatly
in need of railroad facilities, and which will
be amply able TO support railway from
the moment i. is open for business. and can
not fail to make this road one of the best
paying roads in the state or in any portion
of the western country.
Such a road, drawing as j. will the trade
from the splendid region that it will trav-
erse, is certain to prove Of great and lasting
benefit to our city and county, and is sure to
receive substantial and liberel encourage
ment from our merchants and all our peo-
pie. Il needs no word of ours TO convince
the tax payers and citizens that they viii be
serving their best interests and adding to
their material wealth and prosperity by Civ
ing their hearty support to the bonds in sid
Of this enterprise.
We take it that the citizens of Wichita
have a sufficiently keen appreciation of the
city's interests to endorse this move and
vote the bonds with the same unsnimity
that has characterized their action hitherto
In like enterprises, and the EAGLE predicts
for this railway earnest and cordial support
from all the cities and towns and counties
through which it will pass.
Mr.. Deacy, the president of the construc-
tion company, holding the contract for the
construction and equipment of the Midland,
accompanied by some of the officers and
directors of the railway company, will early
in the coming week proceed over the entire
line with view of meeting the leading citi-
zens and railway committees at the different
cities and towns on the line and presenting
the petition of the railway company for
bonds to aid in the construction OF the road.
We trust and believe they will receive q
hearty welcome and earnest cooperation
among the people they will meet.
We shall watch with interest the progress
of this great enterprise and will do all in
our power to compass its final and complete
success; for by so doing We feel we are con-
serving the best interests of our city, county
and state.

Talk about beautiful showers, but the one
that visited this neck of the woods early
yesterday morning was the finest article in
that line that has been introduced here by
any house this season. 1t WAS darling
rain. Now make no extra charge for this
information, my sole object being to call
the attention of the proper authorities to the
fact.
Yesterday might well be designated one
Of the most fonrishing days in the history
of this city. Everyone felt happy. Stimu-
lated by the glorious rain Chats the name
the ables. lawyers called it, and the general
prosperous outlook, the real estate boom
just got up on its hind legs and howled and
the large delegations of land seekers from
east and ives. and north and south began
buying and some big transactions were re-
ported before breakfast. Real estate men
with their vehicles we.e flying about in all
directions, and wore remarkably able
bodied smile.

ufactures to speak of, but merely her nat
ural resources.
Manufacturing cities are now in worse
condition than any Others. They are never
clear Of labor troubles and capitalists are
extremely shy Of them. Things are too un-
certain, while here no such danger exists.
Mr.. Sulliyan said that Russell Sage had stated
that the west was the salvation of the coun-
try, and it is this feeling which is prompting
ali the great trunk lines to pull into Kansas,
which leads every other state in the Union.
He said also that there would be no moro
packing houses built east of the Mississippi
and that Kansas City and Wichita viii be
the great packing centers.
AS the day advanced and real sstste busi-
ness became hot, Major Crossan mlstook a
manly looking sign which his neighbor, a

and smiled at it snd determined TO enrich i!
by selling it LOT or perhaps whole addit-
ion. He discovered his error when he un-
dertook TO shake hands with the bogus
strange capitalist. He wouldn't shake.
The subject of the location of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad depot in this
city agitated the public mind greatly yester-
day and very likely will for some time to
come. All seem sotisfied now that tho Bea-
con didn't know anything about it and the
Beacon itself is now satisfied it didn't told
you so. The Beacon would like to say now
that the depot will be on South Main street,
but it don't dare do it.

In spite of very warm weather. good

Opera house last evening. The gallery was
Miss Moore may we'll feel comp;imented by
the reception given her frat appearance
here.
To those to whom the "Danites" is not
familiar, it may be said the plot is laid in
the wild west, particularly in the Sieras of
California, and the "Danitcs" were the ruth
less, har l-hearted avengers of Joseph
Smith, the Mormon prophets death. Mr..
Williams, the father of the heroine, WAS one
of tneir victims, rs was also all tho men,
bers OF his family with the single exception
of Miss Nancy Her death is attempted but
she is saved mirsculously and lives for
years disguised as a miner in rough
mining camp; finally she is saved by the
killing of her inhuman pursuers.
Miss Belle Moore is an ambitious young
actress, now making her third starring tour.
She Is bright, psssionately vivacious, and
throws into the dual character of "Nsncy
Williams" and "Billie Piper" that depth of
| feeling that won her audience from her ap-
pesrsnce on the stage. She was three
times called before the curtain. "Sandy
Magee" by Frank Hennig, and the judge by
Thad p. Varney were both well sustained.
7. NJ. Hardy as "John Wilson" and Ida
Robson as captain Tommy" were late ad-
ditions to the company and if thi. be their
first appearance they bid fair to make sue
ceises of their respective characters.
The character of f"Huldsh' BY Miss Maud
Midyley, and of "Washec Washee' by
Louis Esgan gave satisfaction.
Tomorrow evening the same company
will render the Mountain Pink" This
play is the one in which Miss Moore first
achieved success and in which she stands
without q rival. From the expression of
sstisfaction it can be safely predicted a very
large audience will greet her.
The following i. from the Topeka, Kan.
Journal:
Considering the extreme warm weather
the audience was much larger last night st
the Crawford opera house than was ex-
pected, and all present were delighted with
the play. The story of the play is intensely

the Mountain Pink is certainly very

the eyes of the audience. Harold Wilmot.
a New Yorker, who finally is instrumental
in bringing about a great change in the

But tha. which is interesting above the

and righteous simplicity of Sincerity. the
Mountain Pink. The play is well worth

THE KANSAS MIDLAND,

The following named Boston capitalists
have been guests at the Manhattan for the
past two days: W. T. Babcock, who is a
bank director; A. A. Phipps, treasurer Of
the Kansas Midland railroad; F.W. Barbour
and f. II. Cunningham. These gentlemen,
we understand, are here for the two-fold
purpose Of investing in real estate and in the
interest of the Kansas Midland railroad. We
understand that petitions will be circulated
in the city today for signatures, asking that
a special city election be called for the
purpose of subscribing $4,000 to the capi-
tai stock of the road. Township PROPOSE
tions will be submitted in some of the town
ships through which the road passes.
This will be one of the most important of
our roads, and the amount ss,led from this
city is less than hss been given by private
parties for colleges, and, of course, there
will be no opposition to the proposition.
