To Have Another Hearing.

A Washington special of June 1st ssys:
Young Herbert Beecher. who was ap-
pointed collector of Port Townsend, ".
T., IS to be put upon the frying pan and
tried for his reputation. The charge
made against him before the Senate
Commerce Committe, of having con-
verted 10 his own use q money order for
$500 was apparently so well proven that
the Commiftee made an adverse report
il his case. Beecher has very few friends
on the committee, but all of them, at the
T quest of Senator Hawley, who is o
great friend of Henry Ward Beeeber.
have agreed to give the Brooklyn preach
er's son q second chance, Young Beecher
Is said to be very unpopular in Washing
ton Ter. .itory, and lie certainly labors
nnder a disadvantage with the Senate
Committee on Commerce. Vest and
Gorman, of the committee, hate Henry
Ward Beecber, because he has been a
Republican and because he Is now q
mugwump. Warner Miller, Conger and
Don Cameron, also OF the nlmittee.
dislike him because he is a Democrat
ard mugwump. The Committee will
order an investigation, summon witnesses
and throw open the doors. II young
Beecher bias done anything he is ashamed
OF 1t will be pretty well known"

While the cities Of the continent can all

COMING TO A HEAD.

Vice president and G. W. Smith, of the
Atchison, Topeka 6 Santa Fe railroad
company passed through the city yesterday
on his way to Boston to have conference
with the president and the directors of the
company, says a Chicago paper of yester-
day. The object of the conference is be-
lieved to be in lard to the proposed con-
struction of a new line by that company be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City. 1t has
heretofore been stated that the surveys for
the new line have all been completed and
there can be no longer any doubt that the
Atchison is fully determined to build the
new line as speedily as possible. The pro-
posed line parallels most of the way the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and
while it will mostly affect the in
tcrests of this road it will prove
q serious competitor Of all other
lines between Chicago and Kansas City.
The Atchison and Santa Fe's determination
to build an independent line between Chi
caSO ana Kansas City IS que 10 the en-
croachment upon what it calls an invasion
of its territory in Kansas by the Rock Is
land and Burlington, and also by the Mis-
souri, Pacific. The company has come to
the conclusion that without line Of its
own east from Kansas City it would stand
but a poor show against the Rock Island
and Burlington, which have through lines
to Chicago. An effort was made for q
time to avoid the construction of the new
line by bringing about an alliance with the
Alton, but all negotiations to that end seem
to have fallen through. The construction
of an Independent line by the Atchison
east from Kansas City will probably also
compel the Alton to extend its lines west
from Kansas CITY

HAPPY HARPER.

To the Editor of the EAuLE.
The writer has just returned from bust
ness trip to Harper Before started some
Kingman man remarked that l would find
II. very dull. On Friday l saw considera
bic activity on her streets, but on Saturday
l am confident there were not less than two
hundred teams on the streets of Harper.
Sidewalks were crowded and business of
| all kinds seemed to be unusually good.
Bat what intended to say particularly at
this time, as part of my convictions on
this trip, is that in two matters at least
Harper excells any town in southwestern
Kansas. First, her water. A stranger
may go to almost any town in southern
Kansas, and the use of the water will eff
feet him more or less unfavorably. If he
goes to Wellington, Anthony, Medicine
Lodge or Kingman and use the water of all
freely he will be the worse for it. Not SO
at Harper He can use all the Harper
water he desires without the slightest bad
results The water is found in strata of
sand, and hence free from alkali
She will be especially favored in her
water supply furnished by her new water
works. She has an abundant supply Of
the purest spring water flowing constantly
fresh from the ground. The other matter
in which she especially excells is in the
class of farmers surrounding her. Five
years ago few Germans settled near Har-
per, and now she has a large settlement Of
very industrious well-to-do German farm
ers all around her No one in riding
through the neighbornood, need be told
where these German farmers arc located.
He can't mistake them. He will find fine
large farm houses, good, warm barns, and
above all an ample supply Of big fat horses
and mules. Everything about them indi-
Gates thrift One of these farmers has
raised from seventeen hundred to three
thousand bushels of wheat yearly for the
last four or five years, while the average
Kansas farmer is sitting on store box in
town, lamenting that wheat can't be raised
successfully in Kansas. l know one of
this German class within two miles Of Har-
per who farms with four large mule aud
horse teams, and who is making grand
success of it. This, in my judgment ought
to be Harper's greatest glory. Within her
borders nature has done everything posi-
BILE for her, and surrounding her, as thrifty
a lot of farmers and as good land as can be
found in Kansas These are advantages,
not as fully appreciated by many, it seems
to Inc, as they ought to be- am credibly
informed that Harper is about to get new
railroad from Norwich, connecting with
the Leroy and Western l. p. c.
