WEArHERroRD, Tex, O3t. 2.-Last
night crowd of the Laborlng Mems
party OF Parker county met at the lodge
room Of the Knights OF Labor In this city
and perfected arrangements for the pur-
chase OF the Weatheriord Times outfit,
which was sold here last Saturday under
execution and bought in by a creditor
This evening your reporter learned from
Col. Smythe, the former owner and pro.
prietor, that the purchasers had employed
HIM to edit and run the paper, and that IL
would be run as heretofore, advocating
the same principles. In questioning the
colonel in regard 10 who the
purchasers are, he said he was
not authorized to tell, but three men had
furnished the money for the purchase, and
that James Steel, deputy sheriff, made the
purchase for them, and the paper would
be run in the interest Of the laboring peo-
pie of Parker county. In conversation
with prominent Knight OF Labor he said
that the laborlng people Of the county had
purchased the paper and would run II In
the interest OF the laboring people OF
Parker county regardless OF any order
He said that this was all
done In hurry. He said that a
thorough organization had not
yet been effected, but the laboring people
Of the county would run the paper In
their interest. 1t is believed here that
this project will go like many other I'M
systematic institutions have gone, unless
Il Is placed on business basis and not
run by everybody. The members of the
Peoples party seem very much elated
over the affair, but the stHunch Demo-
Gratis, as some of them expressed them

WICHITA TO kINSLEf.

KINsLEY. Kan, Oct. 10, 1885,
To the Editor of the Eagle.
We live, we grow Kinsley the county
seat of Edwards county, is a prosperous
little city of about 1 800 inhabitants ON the
main line of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fc Railroad, 316 miles west of Atch
ison and 332 miles from Kansas City.
Kinsley is also the terminus of what is
known as the Hutchinson extension of
Chicago, Kansas and Western Railroad, a
branch Of the Santa Fe, and an almost air
line from Hutchison to Kinsley. We ere
also doing some hard figuring to secure a
branch of the Missouri Pacific from Wich-
ia to Kinslcy, and in a few days will have
some proposition to that effect.
We have a good county of land and a
prosperous people. Wealso have room for
few. more good people. We think that
Southwestern Kansas, say from Wichita
westerly $50 miles, will be the great garden
Of the world in ten years. Quite a number
of good substantial brick buildings are near
ing completion. Our court house is
nearly completed, and is a fine brick
and stone building costing $4,000. Our
brick, over 100000, have been made
here.
Monday evening we will be addressed by
the big Republican guns Of the district rs
follows: Hon. S. II. Peters, A. B. Camp
bell, Henry Booth and General Tim Nc
Carthy.
On Tuesday, October II, the second an
nual Edwards County fair commences con
tinuing four days, and | want to say right
here that we have as fine located fair
grounds as you can find in the state.
For fear Of occupying too much of your
valuable paper | will close by extending to
you an invitation to visit our place when
ever you desire to take a little pleasure trip
and Wichita's boom will permit you to.
We will try and scare up something to en-
tertain you. Yours truly. NJ. s.

ing services of the Christian missionary
convention, and the services at the Opera
house in connection with the Garfield uni
versity enterprise, where they heard a fine
lecture from the recently elected chancel-
lor, II. W. Everest, on Modern Educa
ton The speaker gave abundant eyi
dence in his address of large experience
wide research and clear judgment. And
the frequent applause with which his re.
marks were greeted, showed that the large
and intelligent audience heartily concurred
in the views he expressed as to the educa
tional methods needed and best calculated
to meet the wants of the age.
Our p -ople were well pleased with all the
exercises they attended. and especially with
the hospitality of the ladies of the Christian
church. A good dinner and supper were
provided for all at the church AS the
convention may be held in our city next
year, we may have chance to return the
favor, in which case we promise to do our
best
We found the Garfield University was
being pushed ahead on grand scale and

THE ESsENCE OF TRUTH.

Ex-Governor Kirkwood Of Iowa, the ven
cradle statesman, in speaking of the Repub
lican party and what it has done for the
people, says:
Republicanism is in my judgment not
a mere temporary thing, but is to stand SO
long as our system of government shall
stand, and in my judgment they will 60
down together, if go down they must.
Republicanism stands for equal and exact
Justice to all men, " for the equality Of all
men before the law" for argument, discus
sion, open public discussion and the ballot
as opposed to force, violence, rioting, mur-
der and rebellion and so believing stand
for republicanism. The Republican party
has done more during the thirty pears OF its
existence for labor and the laboring man
than any other political organization here
or elsewhere has done in a century.

Tho Missouri Pacific directors at a meet.
ing in st. Louis have added $4,000, 900 to
the capital stock of the company, and de-
cided to increase their bonded indebted
ness 100000. The st. Louis Globe says
that the announcement of this meeting is a
confirmation of the statements to the effect
that the Missouri Pacific will make great
strides in the construction and requirement
of new lines in 1887, While the company
does not give out figures showing its earn
ings it is known that there has been hand
some increase for the first three-quarters of
the year just closed, as compared with
those of the previous year Interesting
Developments for 1887 are anticieated,

SENATOR INGALLS,.

Senator John j. ingalls, of Kansas ad
dressed a large audience composed princi
pally of colored men, at Dunning's opera
house in Kansas City Kansas, Thursday.
He said he had been accused of Haunting
the bloody shirt. and that he would not de-
sist from announcing facts until the black
Republicans of Mississippi were just as safe
to vote as the white Democrats in Kansas.
He then turned his attention to President
Cleveland and his administration. He said
he was an unknown man, elected On an un-
Ineligible platform, and that his inaugtl-
raj address was composed of commonplace
platitudes. He said it had long been the
cry of the Democrats that officials of the
government should affect Jcffersonian sim
plicity, yet he had never seen Cleveland On
the streets Of Washington except in car
riage
In speaking of Secretary Bayard he said
he was a man who was incorruptible, who
possesses very high character was of an
illustrious family and had distinguished
lineage, but that he had made two great
mistakes. One was in not paying attention
to the arrest of American fishermen by
Canadian authorities, and the other was by
jumping on to Mexica with both feet.
He characterized Gen. Garland as a
great lawyer among Arkansas men and a
great Arkansas man among lawyers He
considered Secretary Villas an ''infnitesi-
NAL microscopical mankind and said
that Secretary Whitney had been APP
pointed because he was the son-in-law of
the Standard Oil company Secretary
Lamar he called an oriental dreamer, who
passed his time in reflection, and said that
he had been confidential friend of Jeffer-
son Davis and had declaerd on the floor of
the senate that he would resent any in
ference that Jefferson Davis was not a pa
triot. Realizing that he was not fit man
to look after pensions of union soldiers he
called Dan Lamont, the valet de chambre
of President Cleveland, to his aid, and
Daniel, after a long search, selected Gen
Black of Illinois. Black is now known
about Washington as Lamont Discov-
cry"
Senator ingalls, said if he lived and the
Republican party elected a president in
1886 he would introduce bill in congress
to pension all survivors in the late war who
fought on the side of the union.
He criticised the action of the president
in vetoing SO many pension bills and for
signing the bill to place Gen. Fitz John
Porter on the retired list, whom he called a
traitor. In speaking of the probable can
didatcs against President Cleveland, he
said they would be either Blaine, Logan or
Sherman.

The attack made on Mr. Jewett by the
