THE GREAT RAILROAD BREAK

The Emporia Republican IS out yes
terjay morning with the announce
ment that the Chicago and Alton and
the Chicago and Rock Island have
bo;n decided 10 strike for Southwest
Kansas and through Emporia 1t
must lie that the editor OF the Rcpuh-
licaH has been reading the EAGLE.
The EAGLE started the boom more
than year ago which has had the ei
feet OF unsettling The Missouri pool.
For the most part our readers have
been KEEP: well posted as to succeeding
results. The Republican may be
right a. to the Chicago and Rock
Island and the extension o: the Car
5onbalc road and the Chicago aud Al
ton. That paper need not be surprised
if > line is run within few days TO
Wichita from Kansas City crossing
the NeCsho river at little town
known n Dunlap, in the edge of Nor
ris county, fifteen or eighteen miles
northwest of Emporia. The Republic
can j. undoubtedly righl in IL e-ti-
mate that a complete breaS has oc-
Cured among the trunk lines which
may result in the Santa Fe puliing out
Tor Chicago with hc- ownlinc. but be-
fore DONG - the latter management

its sway in Kansas.

except such as are recommended by
the State Horticultural society. This
is certainly most excellent advice. He
further adds: Ii is foolish for us here
TO experiment with new varieties at
least before we have supplied our or
chards with known tried kinds. All
the sorts herein named can be had OF
any raliable nursery, even with the
expense of.packing and freight added.
at twelve to fifteen cents per tree.
Look with suspicion upon any attempt
10 sell trees at high prices. Avoid
"two year old trees on four year old
roots: budded apple trees that borers
won't touch; apple trees on French or
on any other crab stock Russian
and German apples" Ninety-nine
times in every hundred they
are schemes to get high prices for or
binary stock. As "tree man" re-
marked TO me a few days since, speak
ing of selling budded trees: at is
mighty good scheme to make money"
In conclusion, plant apple trees, only
so many trees &c you can take the best
of care, select from the kinds herein
named, let a large proportion Of them
be winter varieties. The best keepers,
such rs Wine Sap, Ben Davis. Gennett

ARKANSAS CITY.

TO the Editor Of the Eagle
Petitions have been circulated and
the requisite number of signers OBJ
tanned, and an election called TO vote
sid to the State Line railroad, in Ce-
dar, Spring Greek, Silverdale and
Cresswell townships in this county.
As usual Winfield is out with a
counter proposition, and like Paul,
they are all things to all men.
They have agreed to zigzag across
the townships three or four time and
to make a station on every other farm:
in fact. it is kind Of a go-as-you-
please route.
Three hundred dollars have been
raised for the purpose of prospect ting

LYING ABOUT WICHITA.

The Kansas City papers, for awhile,
effected to treat the idea of any pos
sible rivalry between Kansas City and
Wichita as a joke. Wichita, still forg-
ing ahead in the acquisition Of cap
it8l and the multiplying of her whole
sale concerns, came forward with the
first clearing house in the state, when
the papers alluded to adopted the pol
icy OF ignoring the name Of Wichita
altogether. To This latter policy we
did not nor do We now object. But

of Kansas City'@ business men Is Il

In.xper;.n.e of the French Maiden

At the time OF her marriage the French
maiden is undoubtedly the most ignorant and
inexperienced of girls. She has spent her
teens in thoroughly learning the grammar Of
her own language, the history and geography
of her own country, a little neediework, a
s,nattermg of piano and drawing, and that is
all She has never been allowed to read any
stronger books than those which are generally
nat ir:o the hands Of an American child less
:iian 10 years old. She was never permitted
20 read a newspaper. But every French
woman is born with such surprising intui-
lions and aptitUdeS that in the end those quail
it's of the mind prove often more efficacious
for the future acquisition Of the practical
knowledge Of life than would have been a
thorough college course of Latin and Greek
and memory cramned with geometrical
logarithrnS
Immediately after her marriage she puts
ner active mind To work and begins course
of practical lessons which continue through
life Her education really begins with mar
