CRrsFIELD ITEMS.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Here we come again with a few more
items of news from our prosperous town.
Yes, we can say prosperous in good faith,
for we arc at present enjoying substan-
tial boom. We do not make big splurge
one day and then die down for six months,
but we are growing slowly all the time.
Our prospects for one more railroad are
getting brighter and brighter as the days
roll round. We expect before many days
to have proposition from the Fort Scott
and Wichita railroad submitted to our peo-
pie, and there can be no doubt that it will
be strongly supported. We are on direct
line for the above mentioned road between
Anthony and Medicine Lodge ard We can
offer some good inducements for this road
to cross here.
We want to say few words about Our
business men In no town did we ever see
a more enterprising class of men. They
are always ready to help any new enter
prise that will prove advantageous to the
country. Never sleeping; they are ever
ready to watch the best interests of our
town and community.
There was between 5000 and 5000 OF
property changed hands in our town the
past week, and the prospects are very flat
tering for some fine buildings to be erected
this fall. Most all of the sales are made
through the Courier land agency, and they
are doing some good work for the town.
School commences next Monday
We were blessed with Il fine rain ON last
Friday which again makes the farmers SUI
premely happy.
The G. A. r. post of this city is making
great preparations to hold a camp fire and
grand ball the middle of this month. All
the neighboring posts are TO be cordially
invited.
Mr.. Dressed, travelling for the Wichita
Wholesale house, was in our city the past
week He received very liberal patron
age from our merchants.
We are in hopes that the time ism far
distant when we shall have direct connec-
ton by rail with the metropolis of southern
Kansas, Wichita
Land seekers are flocking into our coun-
try at rapid rate. Let them come. There
is room for all.
There is one branch Of business that our
city is sorely in need of-an agricultural
implement store When our farmers want
machinery they have to go to Anthony or
Harper for it. We cannot imagine why it
is that some enterprising man does not see
to this matter and oden such branch of
business.
There is no doubt that our county will
give a large majority to the Republican
nominees at the election this fall. The mat
ter is being very well worked up and is sure
10 win.
We will in our next endeavor to give a
sketch Of our town and country in regard
to the location and advantages we have.

The corn crop in the vicinity OF Burden
is the best in Southern Kansas Many
farmers claim from 80 to 60 bushels to the
acre Taking into account the largely in
creased acreage, Burden will this year ship
more corn than in any year of her history.
The price of corn will run high, probably
% cents per bushel is Il low figure. No
wonder our farmers feel jubilant We
hope before the crop is moved TO have a
IA competing line of road, that means not
less than 80 or - cents additional for every
load of corn hauled into Burden-Burden
Eagle.
This but makes good the representations
of the EAGLE touching the value and rich
ness of a territory that would be tapped by
a railroad running from Wichita southeast
down to the Caney and Verdigris valleys.

THE EAGLE LINE.
From the Leoti Standard.

From the Leoti Standard.
The Wichita EAGLE, q pretty good
authority on railroad matters, in reviewing
the prospects of numerous railroad projects
in which that city is interested, says what
is known rs the Eagle Line, is to he eX-
tended to connection with the Salina and
Western, which will reach the west line of
the state in another year This is one of
the roads for which we have been hurrah-
ing ever since last fall, and this evidence
of our correct judgment calls for. another
healthy whoop for the Eagle Line.

THE FLYING EAGLE.
ON the Eureka Republican.

From the Eureka Republican
The Wichita Daily EAGLE comes to us
regularly and it is welcome visitor
The writer remembers when three men
and two boys did all the mechanical work
on that journal, himself one of the former.
Now the business has assumed such gigan-
tic proportions that it requires an army of
men to manage its various departments
In addition to the good editorial and local
pages, the EAGLE publishes the full a,so
ciated press reports and list of the best
miscellaneous matter of any paper reach
ing this office, and it is the largest paper in
the state, being eight large, well printed,
well filled pages. The business men appre
ciate it, as is evidenced by the abundance
OF advertising matter it contains.
The EAGLE is the only daily which
reaches here on Sunday the same day it is
published, which makes it invaluable To
Col. NJ. NJ. Murdoch more than anyone
else Is the success of this paper attributable.
He has been steadfast in his efforts to make
it the best paper in Kansas and has done so.
Not only this, but Marsh Murdoch has had
more to do with the phenomenal growth of
Wichita than any other man there. 1t is
no more than right for the citizens of that
city to make him some substantial testi
monial of their appreciation of his efforts,
and they have done so in flying his EAGLE
higher than any other paper In the state.

The time is past when the mere fact that

dltionsl fact that the garment .'se,. smoothly

dress. Those who understand how 10 drass
