A WORRIED OFFICIAL.

The official of all others in this town who
is now worried the most is VIM. Flavius
Green. city assessor. His trouble is to get
the figures of his returns down at some de-
cent figure and not violate his oath. Blocks
in the resident portion of the city which ran
last year from eight to twenty thousand
this year loom away up. He asked one
owner yesterday, "well, what shall 1 put
this property" 80, well'' the owner replied,
''say at q thousand above the figures last
year, say four thousand dollars" "Hold on
said the capitalist bystandcr, "Tll draw my
check for forty thousand for that property"
SWELL" said the city assessor. Il guess it
ought to stand one-ffth of that sum or eight
thousand dollars" and he moved off leaving
the owner storming over the fact that his
returns had been doubled up. Query. II
the taxable realty of Wichita was returned
at seventeen hundred thousand last year
what ought it to be put down at this year,

glass and all modern fixtures.
The same architects are at work on the
plans for o. b. Bentley's house on North

modern syle of architecture and shows up
very handsomely.
Work has begun on Judge LAucks new
residence, corner Of Thirteenth street and
Fairview avenue, and the Judge says whsn
completed It will be one of the handsomest
and most conviently arranged dwellings in
the city.
The plans for new barn for the same
gentleman are to be seen in Kellogg's archi-
tect rooms, and the horse that is too select
to live in that ought to be turned out on the
prairie.
The plans for another new dwelling for
John Exton i being drawn by Kellogg. 1t

To the Editor of the Eagle

To the Editor of the Eagle
At our boarding house the other evening
the pastmastership of this eta was being
discussed, the point having been made by
| a young lawyer that your successor had no,
been appointed. The question was LETT I'M
settled. Please state how the matter stands.
J. b. A.
The lawyer was right. Mr.. Frank b.
Smith has been nominated or named, by the
president to the U. S. Senate, as successor
TO the present incumbent. After the senate
has confirmed, that is agreed to that n0mi-
nation, his appointment is made out by the
appointment division together with bond
which are forwarded TO him, the bond be-
ing filed and returned and approved by the
bond division, the commission then issues
upon the receipt of which he can demand
the Office at any time. When the senate is
not in session the appointment is issued first,
the nomination not being made till the sem
ate convenes. But in either instance the
commission is the last step. When the sem
ate is not in session an appointee can take
possession of an office as soon as his bond is
approved and without waiting for his con-
frmation by the senate. If the senate
should adjourn to-day Mr.. Smith could not
take the Office until he had been appointed
by the president. We believe that covers
what YOU were trying to get at.

ADJUSTMENTS.

There il to be few amusements the next
few days to break the Lenten gloom. The
Little Nugget Comedy Company will give
one of their amusing performances at the
Opera house this evening and on tomorrow
and on the 10Th the Turner'S will give an am
ature performance and dance. Two really
good theatrical companies have secured
dates later on.
The Mendelssohn Quintette Club which
appears here next Thursday evening is per-
haps the finest organization of the kind in
the United States. Its history dates back
nearly 40 years and there are members in it
who have grown gray in its service. They
are accompanied by Miss Edith Edwards, .
young lady whose remarkably fine voice and
personal beauty are rapidly making for her
national reputation. The following is
clipped from the st. Louis Globe:
The Mendelssohu Quintette Club gave
their first concert last evening to large au-
dience in Mercantile Library Hall. It would
indeed be hard to say much for the musical
taste of any city where this company should
tail to draw . crowded house. Whatever
people may say Of Boston-and people will
say hard things of Boston-she has given US
| the Mendelsshon Quintette Club, and that
covers multitude OF her shortcomings.

Marsh Murdock's 5, o. perhaps the EAGLES

A very large per cent. ofthese three thous-

scholars are little girls, not .ha. the boys

would be worth decade of life anywhere
else for one weeks living in Wichita ten
years hence. We don't knew whether il is
the climate or food, or wster or what not. or
the cosmopolitan psrentsse, but the striking
marvellous beauty OF the little girls of WICK
ita is universally remarked BY strangers snd
everybody.

LOOK OUT FOR THEM.

Our business men are again warned against
advertising swindlerz, non-residents, slick,
shrewd, smooth talking fellows. who pro-
pose very cheap write-ups in papers of extra
largo editions, etc. The EAGLE has bursted
up four attempts of such peripatetic adven-
turers already this spring, and sent them
with their empty grips out of the town I'M
aided by anyone. A business man informed
us this morning that he was called upon
the day before by an uncommon good
talker, who assured him that other business
men were taking hold of his commercial
write up almost unanimously. All such
write-ups are swindles and the money Will
be thrown away. So far as Wichita is con-
cerned in general way, the town is the best
advertised place in America for its age and
size. The EAGLE has done little else for
fourteen years. When it comes to advestis-
ing business, TO putting your stocks before
the people, no scheme or channel can pos
sibly equal that of your local papers, which
reach the very people that you individually
desire to reach. Bounce every stranger who
approaches you with an advertising scheme,
whatever its novelty or its promise of circu-
lation. The last outfit of the kind, which
We had the pleasure of bouncing. were here
only las: week, plug-hatted and delicate
handed, just from Chicago.
P.S.-In the afternoon couple of men
called a. the EAGLE Office to get 5000 copies
just the exact number of the daily EAGLES
issue of day before yesterday-ofa paper
printed, which was to be filed with miscel-
laneous matter upon the one side and writ
ten-up puffs on the other. While such q
job would prove very profitable one, the
business manager explained t the EAGLE
could not afford to become /, .lrty to any
thing that its proprietors deemed swindle
upon its patrons, and that they would have
to go elsewhere. The refusal not setting
well on the stomachs of the applicants,
we stepped forward and read them
the above paragraph, asking them if its Ian
guage in any way hit their case. They re-
fused to answer, but resorted to threats of
libel suits, dares, etc.
As the paragraph alluded to was not writ
ten for them, so far as our knowledge goes,
we now say to the business men of Wichita
that the above outfits scheme is write-up
in paper which they call the Commercial
Bulletin" or some such name, paper which
has no legal status as regular publication
in Wichita, and which therefore cannot be
circulated through the mails as such; that
outside of the pay for paper and press
work, the money they pay for such write
ups goes into the pockets of fellows who
move on the next day to the next commu-
nifty to be victimized; that their paper has
no regular or legitimate subscribers, and as
a vehicle for making your wants or business
known to the public is no better than any
handful, dodger or other printed sheet of
paper tossed about gratuitously.

UNION STOCK YARDS.

Steps should be taken this spring to or.
ganize union stock yards company in
Wichita. All the roads touching this city,
can, by tracks already constructed, and which
are owned exclusive or in common, reach a
point but little ways outside Of the cor
poration, southwest a mile or so on the west
side. The yards should be located far
enough away to avoid all chances of nuis-
ance and yet as near as practical. There is
no denying that cattle and hogs must be
handled here in large numbers, on foot.
