To the Editor Of the Eagle.
This county, Harper, was visited by :
heavy storm of rain and hail last evening
In this city we were treated to gale OF
wind that for a short time looked serious
Outhouses, sheds, etc, were whirled
| through the air and several residences
moved from their foundations. However.
no serious damage was done The rain
has done much good and people are happy.
Cornc cutting is going rapidly forward.
The success Of the bond election last Sat
urday has had wonderful effect upon all
portions of the country between here and
Caldwell. City property at Anthony and
Attica is booming At this place several
large investments have already been made,
and the building boom is starting up
afresh. Parties are here now making
arrangements to erect large mill at this
place. One is needed badly. and our busi
ness men are taking hold Of the matter in
earnest
The officers of the S K, passed through
here couple of days ago to inspect their
grade, etc. in the territory preparatory to
laying track. They expressed themselves
as well pleased with the result Of our bond
election. TrEo.

OUR COUNTY FAIR.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
Tae Arkansas Valley Agricultural So
ciety opens its fair on the Goth of Septem-
Der and closes on the 2ith
The managers have all things ready for
the immense exhibition, and from present
indications this years fair will bc the nam
moth fair of the state. Our grounds are
located near the city, so that III ose who do
not choose to hire a conveyance can reach
the grounds in ten minutes walk from
the bridge. The street car company pro-
pose TO have their line completed to the
grounds 10y fair time and the Fort Scott
railroad will run cars to within q few rods
of the grounds, so that persons attending
the fair will have no difficulty in reaching
the grounds or returning therefrom by
railroads and buses and hacks.
In our former exhibitions we have never
had such inquiries and applications rs this
year. 1t has become settled fact that
Wichita is the great central city of the
southwest and everybody wants to look
in upon our wonderful progress in
building up city. Shall the agricul-
tural exhibit 'be commensurate with the
city: This is all in the hands of our farm
ers to bring in their cereals and stock; they
are all in our county in great abundance
and of first quality; and it requires only a
little effort on the part of each one to do
his or her part and our fair will surpasss in
excellence any exhibit that will be made
this year
Visitors from abroad will expect to see
samples of each and all of our products.
We can convince them of the fertility of
our soil by bringing samples of grain. fruits
and vegetables and placing them in our
large agricultural hall
The premiums offered by the society are
as liberal as could be offered so as not to
lead to financial embarrassment in paving
them The managers are doing all in their
power to render every convenience to both
exhibitor and visitor. The secretary will
receive entries at any time, and those who
have made up the list of articles they de-
sire to place on exhibition can, at any time
between this and fair time, hand them in,
and avoid the rush when the fair opens.

COMING OUR WAY.

From the Wellington Monitor.

From the Wellington Monitor.
On Tuesday morning Mr. Neal of the
railroad committee received telegram
from Mr. NJ. A. Low, president of the
Rock Islands Kansas extension company
SAYING that he would be in this city on the
noon train from Wichita The committc,
accordingly made preparations to give him
proper reception, and called meeting of
the business men of the city to be held in
the council chamber at ! o'clock in the
afternoon.
The general interest which WAS felt in
the important enterprise brought out good
attendance of representative and influential
men. Mr.. Low was introduced to the
meeting by Mr. Neal with few words in
explanation of his position as director of
the great work the Rock Island has enter
ed on. of extending its system through the
states lying west of the Missouri. and the
reason of his coming to Wellington at this
time
Mr.. Low then made short speech say
ing that it was the purpose of his company
to build road through Sumner county if
its citizens would vote the required aid.
They were not ready to submit PROPOSE
tions vet. and he was not prepared to saw
just when they would be- it might be
few days or few weeks: in any case it
would only be q short time. In reply to
questions he said that the propositions
would be for a, 900 mile in county, not
township. bonds. No less sum than this

THAT TICKET.

There is no Disgusting the fact that the
ticket nominated last Saturday in Wichita
by the Republicans is more than satisfac-
tory. We believe that we never heard so
many warm commentators from so many
and unexpected sources. Upon every hand
you hear Republicans saying that taken all
through the county ticket is enrirely unob-
jectionable-that while there may have
been just as good men to pick from, there
were none better. Every man seems to
have been nominated on his merits and
every man will be so elected In fact il
looks as if all the combined opposition
would fail to make an even interesting
fight

WORK FOR WICHITA.
An Interest Which Must be
Cared for.
The Line Of Railway Which is to Com
plete Our Magnificent Railway
System and Add Wealth
to This City.

Among all the important railway lines
which Wichita has already secured and for
which she has worked for, there is 10 line
,inproviied that is half so important as the
proposed road from Wichita southeast,
down the Cana and Verdigis valleys, to
and through the Indian Territory to con-
nection with the Missouri Pacifc's Texas
system, at the crossing of the great Arkan-
sas. The road talked of from here to Win
field is of very little importance to Wichita
compared to this other road Winfield, Belle
Plaine and the other towns south of us
are already reached and the construction
of another road to Winfield would be more
in the interest of that town than in our
own, as any one ought to see, but a road
running from Wichita directly southeast,
say through Douglas, Burden and Cedar
vale is a line Of vast importance to Wich
ita, as well as well as to the towns and ter
ritory which it would serve There is no
other proposed road in which the EAGLE
is SO interested. We have called the at
| tention of our people to its advantages
so often. and to its necessity, if
we would have complete system,
that we would hesitate to say anything
farther at this time, but for the fact that
months of quiet personal work seems
about to be rewarded with partial if not
with complete success We are satisfied
now that should Wichita and the towns
and townships interested all along the pro-
posed line, take hold of this matter in earn
est, its construction can be secured. In
fact, barring some unforeseen
trouble, we are perfectly con-
fident of this, and that it 1
can and will be built and in operation at an
early day and as another link of a great |
system which is doing SO much for Wich-
ita
What with the railroads already con-
to Wichita and which have made
this city the railway center of the state
already, and what with the lines provided
for and under contract, the building of
the Wichita and Southeastern will COM
plete system of traffic artersies that are
necessary to the development of one of the
largest jobbing and manufacturing cities
10 be found anywhere in the west
This enterprise must not be permitted
now to rest any longer By next year
Wichita will have all the competing trunk
lines that she has heretofore desired or that
will be found essential. Her future atten-
ion must be given to lines which will prove :
eeders-which will bring customers. The :
arther these feeders reach out, the more
lirect and numerous their connections and ..
with roads traversing the ter a
itory to be supplied, the more sure and |.
