will without doubt build in the spring TO

Santa Fe bridge, as this railroad has sew

and the counties north and south of it.
The ST. Louis & San Francisco rail-
road already running to Tulsa, IN the

and use the A., 7. & S. F. track from

great advantage to the town as it enables
the settlers in the counties north and
west to visit the town for the purpose of
trading.
Being located only fifteen (15) miles
from the west line of Oklahoma and
some of the best land in the territory,
and having bridge over the treacherous
Canadian river the prospective settler
will be wiling to go little out of his
way in order TO cross the river on this
bridge, rather than take the chances of
camping on it for two weeks.
STAGE LINES.
A stage line from this town already
is in operation across Roberts county to
Adobe Walls in Hutchinson county, one
to Catiline postoffice on the Wishita in
this county, and one is about to be
equipped to run between this town and
the Kiowa and Comanche agency in
Oklahoma. As this line will run through
the western part of the Oklahoma
country and down the beautiful Canadian
and Wis hita rivers it will lie well patron

Gus communications and queries touch
ing the status of the Oklahoma bill The
Springer bill did not pass nor did the
house rider, but the compromise meas
ure Of conference committee. In the
heart of the Indian territory due south
of Wichita, including the Oklahoma
district or the boomer lands, 5,000,00
acres are now spublic domain only
awaiting the proclamation of the presi-
dent permitting settlers to go in and
possess. For these lands no further
treaty is necessary and the president is
authorized to establish two land offices
upon them. The chances are that for
the other lands, including the Cherokee
strip, commission viii be appointed
Immediately. The other lands ought to
be opened and the settlers be busy plow-
ing within fifty or sixty days. The five
civilized tribes have about twenty mil
lion acres embraced in their home reser-
vations and lying in the eastern half of
the territory, which are not subject to
treaty under the law lately passed.
The EAGLE published the bill the
second day after its passage.

A PARTING BENEDICTION.

The Hon. Nehemiah Green, of Man
haitian, for two years lieutenant governor,
and for about thirty days governor of
Kansas, has been at deaths door for a
year or SO past. We have known him
intimately for twenty years, as useful,
earnest man, brilliant and strong in
mind, with conscientious purpose. His
letter to the Methodist conference, ex-
planning his absence, is one of the most
beautiful and pathetic we have ever seen.
We quote the main part of it:
DEAR BRETHREN-I am surely entering
the Valley Of the Shadow of Death, and
/ send back, almost from the borders of
an eternal world, this greeting to my
brethren Of the ministry. Say to Bishop
Ninde, | rejoice in his renewed strength.
| have been apprehensive on account of
his health; l pray that he may long be
spared to the church. Give him my
best benediction and farewell.
Tell the brethren of the Conference I
have fathomed all the depths of suffer
ing; but the long and unequal struggle
will soon be over, and l shall lay down
as weary head as ever rested on the
bosom of Divine compassion. | shall
soon know more of the mysteries of
death and destiny, and whether it is the
folding of wings or the pluming of pin
ions for loftier flight; tell them in all
my Affections | have been wonderfully
sustained by Divine grace, and constant
ly cheered with the ''hope of home and
Heaven Ger yonder sky" Like the
prophet, when [ stood with the
captives down by the side of river
Chebar. "the Heavens were opened
and l saw visions of God" Tell them
not to weary in well doing. for in due
season they shall reap if they faint not;
to acquit themselves like men and be
strong and brave. Tell them to sigh not
beneath the juniper shade, but to sow
beside all waters; to push on the con-
quests Of Calvary to the ends of the
earth, looking for their reward when the
angel reapers shall come to shout home
the harvest Of seed sown in tears and
watered in sorrow. Tell them to lift up
in all lands that standard around which
is gathering the veneration and hopes of
the tossed and toiling millions of earth.
Tell them better day is coming.

RUSSIA PUSHING HER RAILROAD
SYSTEM

Russia's holiness in pushing on her
railroad system across the Turcoman re-
gion to Central Asia has received its due
reward. Already the line is declared to
be paying its working expenses; and
General Annenkoff, the designer, has
been encouraged thereby to ask permis-
sion of the emperor to extend the line
still further to Tashkent. In all proba-
bility the request, according to Engin-
eering, will be acceded to, because fash
kent, besides being the administrative
center of the province of Turkestan, is a
town with a population of 100000 peo-
pie, and the extension Of the Samarcand
section thither would not only tie an i'm
portant political and trading center to
the Russian railway system, but also
link the Syr Daria river and the Aral
communications with those of the Cas-
plan. The Aral fleet, as originally
established, used TO ply on the
Syr Daria river, along the banks
of which the Russians marched, and
founded a series of forts and colonies, in
their advance upon Tashkent and Samar-
cand. The great drawback the steamers
had always TO contend with was the alb
sence of any fuel except kind of brier-
wood known as saXaul. If the Samar-
cand line were extended 10 Tashkent, it
would cross the navigable head of the
river on its way, and be able to provide
the steamers with liquid fuel from the
Caspian, similar to the supply the rail-
way was able 10 accord to those on the
Oxus when it penetrated to that river a
year ago. North of Tashkent stretches
series of steppes. adjoining those of
Siberia, which are being gradually set
tied by colonists from Russia. This re-
gion, which is well adapted for agricul-
tural and pastoral pursuits, would bene-
fit considerable oy the extension of the
railway TO Tashkent; so that Gen. An
nenkoh has many cogent reasons, be-
sides those of a military character
TO adduce in support of his
project. II is curious to contrast this
activity of the Russians with
the lethargy of the English authorities
in regard to the Indian frontier commu-
nications. If the completion of the
Quetta line to Candahar would not pay
the whole working expenses OF the rail-
way from the Indus, it would at least
more than pay that On the extension,
while adding lmmeasurably TO the secu-
rity of the Indian empire. In Burmah
again, where Gen. Sir Frederick Roberts,
four years ago. urged upon the govern
ment the rapid construction of railways
as means of pacifying the country, no
important lines except the slow-paced
Toanghoo-Mandalay line have been taken
in hand. and money is being wasted il
punitive expeditions against dacolts and
tribesmen, which would have been far
more advantageously spent On railway
works.
