a social reformer, and succeeded in franz

Mr.. ii. W. PATTON, the Register Of the
Land Office in Los Angeles, yesterday
received letter from legal friend, who
had lately gone on to join the Oklahoma
boomers. He found the weather abomin-
ably hot, the water brackish and the air
malarial. Having located in Guthrie,
which he describes as an iliy-organizsd
town of five thousand inhabitants, he
found the throng OF lawyers SO numerous,
that in their eager competition the charge
for making out a claim had been reduced
to fifty cents. He fervently advises ali
limbs of the law to give the territory a
wide berth but, being there, he proposes
to stick it out Tor month. Another An

THERE are grave doubts as to whether
the new cruiser, the Charleston, responds
either to the specifications of the contract
with the Navy Department, or the ex-
yec.ations Of the public. The San Fran.
ciseo Report asserts that there are grave
defects in her cylinders that will reduce
her speed and enormously increase her
consumption of coal, and that an attempt
il being made to remedy that drawback
that will delay her completioa for two
weeks. 1t is to be hoped that the diff.

THE CLOSING DAY
OF THE THIRTY THIRD ANNUAL
COMMUNICATION CF THE
Grand Lodge Of Kansas-Election and
Installation of Officers for 1880-Sa-
lima Selected for 18oO---Work
in the Blue Last Night---Adieu.

The thirty-third annual communication
of the Grand Lodge of the state of Kansas.
which with the annual meetings of the
other branches of the masonic fraternity,
has been in session in this city for the
past four days has caused this week to
be one of greatest pleasure to the
representatives of the order here,
who have been untiring in their
efforts to make the meetings successful.
If an opinion may be drawn from the re-
markedly large attendance. from the COM
Portable and thorough manner in which
the delegates were accommodated and
from the universal satisfaction expressed
by the delegates, then we may say
that the efforts of the local mem
bers were crowned with success,
and Wichita as a city has good reasons to
feel proud of them for the same. She also
should and does feel complimented by the
very large representation which came
from all over the state and will be pleased.
when her turn shall come again to have
the honor and pleasure of entertaining
such superior body of the representative
men of Kansas as those she has had with
in hergates during the present week.
Next year Salina is to have the distinc-
ton and it goes without saying that the
home of Mystik Shriners will do herself
proud on that occasion and Wichita wishes
her grand week of it.
A large number of the delegates left for
their homes on the trains last night, but
enough remained until today to give the
hotels quite a Masonic aspect late last
night.
YESTERDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
The Grand Lodge of Kansas met in ses-
sion at 10 o'clock yesterday and disposed of
nearly all the business on hand. The fol-
lowing officers were elected and installed

KANSAS SERI-CULTURE,
A Most Important Industry on the Eve OF Rapid
and Profitable Development.

Mr.. II. E. Bidwell yesterday brought to
this Office several samples of Kansas silk
in its various stages; from cocoon as it is
left by the worm to the thread in the hank
as first taken from the reel, then in shape
for sewing purposes, then in the woven
fabric in different texture from the high
est and finest, such as is used for millinery
uses to the heaviest satin dress goods, in
various colors and shades, the cloths being
the product themselves of Kansas handi-
work, and also of Kansas made machinery.
These samples, which may be seen in the
editorial rooms of the EAGLE, are but fair
specimens of what may be and ought to
be made one of Kansas most important
industries. They demonstrate beyond
question the possibilities of seri-cultuIe in
this state, and it is gratifying to note the
growing interest that is being awakened
in the subject by the discussion that has
been carried on through the pub
lie prints. The articles that have
from time to time appeared in the
columns of the EAGLE from the
pen of Mr.. Bidwell have contributed no
little towards stimulating this interest.
As evidence of this he informs US that he
the details Of the work that he can hardly
find time to answer them in detail.
The silk industry ought to become a
leading one in the state, and, with proper
encouragement by the state and national
governments, will beyond question, and
in comparatively short time. We under
stand the legislature has been asked for an
appropriation of 5000 year for two years
to encourage the industry and help to put
it upon an independent footing. This is
certainly a very reasonable request, both
as to its merits and the amount asked for,
and there should be no hesitation on the
part OF the legislature to make the appro-
priation. 1t is as meritorious as the prop
osition to grant a bounty of 2 cents a
pound to Kansas produced sugar, and this
last proposition is universally approved.
Not the least important feature of the
silk industry, as has been frequently
mentioned, is the fact that it will give
light, pleasant and profitable employment
to large number Of persons, mainly
women and children, who are idle a con-
siderabl eportion of the time because there
is nothing for them to do. But this is
only one of the many benefits that will &C
crue to the general Introduction of the in
dustry.
The EAGLE re-endorses the new enter
prise and will continue to encourage it in
every way it can with the belief that if
the people take hold of it in the earnest
and intelligent manner that is their wont
it will give our state not only increased
revenues but prestige along with its
present rank as a ceral, stock, salt and
sugar producing state.

The special meetings at the church, cor

tinues tonight and Sabbath morning and

interest to the discourse last night. With
marvellous spiritual photography the state

was the scene of eternity portrayed that
it seemed as If one actually stood upon
the timeless shore. Flight after fight of
thoughts in clear Silhoutte excited flights
of myriad feelings. But the thunder of
doom was bourne upon the wings of COM
