FOR TRUTHS SAKE.
KINGMAN, Kan, May 26, 1890.

KINGMAN, Kan, May &c, 1890.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Last evening I dropped into the NJ. f.
church of this place and heard Rev. Mr..
Tull, lately of Wichita, deliver an in
formal talk to his congregation, which
was one of the best things 1 have heard
for many day. The prohibition fanatics
here have been making war upon him be-
cause he refuses to make prohibition
speeches, and have been calling him a
whisky man" because the EAGLE spoke
we'll of him, etc. Now it took a brave
man to stand up in the pulpit and repeat
to these people just what they had been
saying and then give them good, square
hits from the shoulder, but he did it, and
he also had the backbone to tell them that
Colonel Murdoch was the ablest editor in
the country and the best friend that Kan
sas ever had-this in the face of the Anti
Resubmission cranks, all being so bitter
against the EAGLE. The talk was such a
good thing, that, not knowing whether
your correspondent here was present or
not and being a newspaper man,
thought | would write you something of it.
/ am not acquainted with Rev. Mr.. Tull,
and do this only from admiration for a
brave man. Yours, etc, w.

Gently took a severe cold. Sunday he took

ENVIOUS OF THE LIVE STOCK MARKET OF
THE SOUTHWEST.

Some parties who seem to be envious of
the growth and rapid strides with which
Wichita as live stock market is coming
to the front, in a way that is today surpris-
ing the whole country, and causinga great
many comments to be made in favor of the
Peerless Princess as the coming great live
stock and packing center west of Chicago,
have been circulating reports all through
the country contiguous to this market,
within the past week, that there were
more hogs coming here than the packing
houses could handle, or would buy, and
consequently there was no market. So
strong has the report been made that some
shippers have believed il, and have not
sent their hogs here for fear it might be
true The reports which are probably
started in the interest of the Kansas City
market are base falsehoods, without even
the semblance of truth. On the other hand
the packers here are strong and active
buyers always, for all the hogs that come
here. and always pay within u 10 cents
of the Kansas City market, and never
weaken on account of a heavy run of
hogs The packers say tell them we will
buy all their hogs if it is ten thousand
100000 a day, and if we cannot handle
them with our present capacity, we will
build additions to our already large
plants" This is the kind of sand" that
our packers and live stock dealers are
made up of and shippers and stock raisers
need never be afraid of shipping their
stock to this market, and can feel assured
that they viii find an active market and
good prices. This market offers every in
ducement 10 shippers of live stock. You
have shorter runs, less danger of having
Grips" and deads, less yardage, less COM
mission and much less time and expense
by coming to Wichita.

and while he started the first wholesale
business in Wichita it was at the time the
only wholesale business in the state off the
Missouri river. 1t was in the early days
Of ~ that Mr.. Hays concluded to start in
wholesale business here and Wichita about
the same time had its first wholesale es-
lishment. His agents on the road at that
time were compelled TO 90 more miles for
business than at present and also were
travelling with early day cOnveniences
which, as compared with the present, were
not quite so pleasant. They Travelled all
the same and succeeded in getting bust
ness and as evidence that the business was
success the establishment is now doing
more business than ever and every year
the business has increased in volume Mr.
Hays has not been slow to comply with
every demand in his line and met every new
demand brought up by an increase in the
growth of the towns and the development
OF the country, which always looked to
Wichita as a supply point.
When Mr.. Hays first started in business
here he was located on the north side of
west Douglas avenue, on the first alley
west OF Main street. He handled green and
dry hides; Indian trimmed hides" which
name was given to designate hides that had
the heads and legs cut off Buffalo hides
were a leading feature of the trade at that
time Furs were handled extensively.
there being in the trade muskrat otter,

SAM Another BOSTON Fire,

BosToS, Mass, February 5.-The fire
fend RACES rampant in this city, and disas-
ter follows disaster with surprising rapidity.
Following close upon the terrible calam-
ity on North street, came fire, which, in
an hours time, almost totally destroyed the
Sears building, a five story marble struc-
ture, corner of Court and Washington
street, owned by j. Montgomery Sears, and
which. at the time of Its erection, was the
finest business building in Boston
The building was valued at upward OF
$20o, 900. it being assessed, together with
the engine and boilers, for $197, 400. There
Is an insurance on the same of $4,000,
which viii undoubtedly cover the loss.
There Is, however, contingent loss in the
way of rents, every Office IN the building
being occupied, from which an income OF
$4,000 year was derived.
Among the occupants were the Second
National and Atlas banks, the Chicago, Bur-
ington d Quincy railroad, the John Ham
cock Life Insurance company and many
lawyers and brokers. ALI will be obliged
to seek new quarters. The only damage to
Young's hotel was caused by carrying the
hose through the building to the roof. II
is probable that Mr.. Sears will not attemIt
to repair the damage, but will take the walls
down and put up q new structure, which
will rival the new Ames building, now In
process of erection on the opposite corner.
