A KANSAS MAN on WICHITA.

Ex-senator A. P. Cogswell, of Eureka,
spent the day in the CITY, making the
EAGLE a call. The senator said he called
to say, among other things, that up till
within few months he did not think it
possible that Wichita would become a
great city. His conviction was that no
center of population, that no great com
mercial mart, could be sustained away
from the seaboard or lakes. But he says
the EAGLE has not only convinced him
that Wichita is to be a great inland city,
whose steel rails will take the place of
water ways as the burthen-bearers of COM
merce, but that he sees IN Wichita herself
multiplied evidences of all that the EAGLE
has been claiming: promises of a mighty
inland city, controlling trade from great
distances and in the very near future.
Senator c. said that but short time since
while at Little Rock he was discussing
with some gentlemen of that city, the
EAGLES claim for. Wichita and that sew
eral of them conceded that Wichita already
possessed too much power and prestige to
be beaten in the race for commercial great
ness by any city between Kansas City and
Rocky Mountains or between the Missouri
river and the gulf It is his idea that in
the very near future Wichita will be con-
testing with Kansas City for the trade of
this section and that so far as live stock
would be concerned that Wichita would
undoubtedly prove the victor, he himself
finding it already convenient and pleasant
to come To Wichita

WOMAN AM FLOWERS.

Mrs Lena Leslie Major of 332 Riverside
avenue, sends to our table a mass Of roses
bedded in blooming jasmine. What an
intermingling of brilGancy and perfume,
what a tribute to sight and sense. \ little
note accompanying the floral gift informs
Us that the roses are from bushes one year
old and that they represent twelve varie-
ties. Flowers and women, purity and
tenderness combined what JOY and peace
they do impart. God was not satisfied
with man and the oak but he found that
he could make creation perfect only by
adding woman and flowers. Mrs. N. viii

HARTZELL'S CONDITION.

Howard Hartzell, the young man who
shot himself at the stock yards was rest
ing quietly yesterday. The ball was eX-
tracted just below the shoulder blade hav-
ing penetrated the lower portion of the
lung. He was enabled to take little
nourishment and slept little. He talked
freely on all subjects except regarding his
motive for the deed and in that connection
would only say that time would disclose
his reasons. He has been moved from the
office where the occurrence took place up
stairs in the hotel and is tended night and
day by his mother who is quite as much in
the dark regarding his motive as any body
else. DR.. Williams who is in attendance
said last night he was doing as well as
anv one ever did under the circumstances
but he was very uneasy about him, fear
ing pneumonia His pulse was little
rapid, respiration natural and his tempera-
ture was only a half degree above normal.
The wound shows no tendency to sup
purate and he may recover.

AFLORAL PREMIUM
To the Editor of the Eagle.

10 the EultOr OF tue EdAle
Mr., j. r. Holiday in last Sunday morn
ing's EAGLE offering SIS 10 the Fair assO-
citation as a special premium to the pro-
duct that yOu might select came 10 my
notice. | desire to call your attention to
the floral department, an enterprise IN Its
infancy, comparatively, in this city; yet
five times the proportions now that 1t was
two years ago, shipping its product IN every
direction. Most of those engaged
in the business here are thor
ough, enterprising men, who under
stand their business. Yet of very moderate
means, who need only a little encourage
ment and they will bring the business into
prominence and produce the finer and
rare plants that are now being demanded
and would be purchased freely 70 the
adornment of our homes and city. ThOus-
ands of dollars are annually sent away for
plants that come either dead or in such n
condition thatthey scarcely pay for setting,
that serve to disgust rather than please.
Few people realize the cost of producing
plant much less the exhibition
of large collection at a fair,
with the certain deteriOatOring effects 10
handling, dust, etc. with danger of loss of
the entire lot Nearly every plant grown
takes from six to eight months of atten-
tion to produce it and very many from one
to three and more years.
The florist must sleep with one eye open
through the long winter months. The
Fair association had these things brought
to their notice, and saw the necessity Of a
much larger premium than has been here
tofore offered, and so set aside all that they
could see their way to, yet so insignificant
that the florists club seriously considered
the matter of not undertaking the expense
of the attraction. for such IL would really
be, if sufficient courage in the way of pre-
miums was offered. The only incentive
now is the interest we all feel in the gen
eral good that will result 10 Wichita and
this section by the successful outcome of
the exposition.
Hoping that a number of donations may
be made as special premiums to he con
tested for by florists and amatuers Of this
city, / send you this through the columns
of the EAGLE. ID. j. CHATFIELD,
Sec'y Wichita Florist club.

WASHINGTON INVESTORS.

John E. Beall and Charles NJ. Barrick,
of Washington. D. c., are visiting this
city, being the guests of Hon. Geo. L.
Douglass. These gentlemen are inter
ested largely in suburban and other realty
properties in and about Washington and
they come to size up Wichita's future.
They stopped day on their way out at
Kansas City, and the gentlemen were
amused at the earnestness with which some
of the Kansas City fellows declare that
Wichita's stock markets were not hurting
and would not hurt their market. If the
four or five hundred thousand porkers
which will be cut in Wichita the present
year and the round million or more wheat
will be cut here 1890, do not hurt Kansas
City, then all the better for that town.
And there are conservative estimates,
away below what the ratio of increase has
been for the past five months, as the Kan
sas City people can see by referring to the
tables of the price currents.
Mr.. Beall and Barrick, in company with
Mr. Douglass, visited the stock yards and
packing houses yesterday as they estimate
that Wichita's future hangs as much upon
her annual food markets as upon her job
bling trade and manufactures.

3.o13 HOGS.
The Number Received at the stock Yards
Yesterday

What do the readers of the EAGLE think
of the business at the stock yards yester-
day? Hogs came in so fast for a while that
the boys had to rustic to take care of them.
At the present rate of increase the receipts
will soon reach 5000 day Is there any
body who has any doubt of the future sue
cess Of this as a live stock market. The
packers say that if this increase keeps up
they will have to commence building adj
ditiOns to their plants. An extensive ship
per, who was at the yards yesterday and
who for years has shipped to the Chicago,
st. Louis and Kansas City markets, said TO
q reporter today: in three years time the
Wichita live stock market will equal the
Kansas City market of today, and in ten
years time ii viii overtake it. This may
sound egotistical but if you live remember
what l have told you today"

TRYING TO MAKE A SNEAK on PENSION

Mr. Dave Douglass, Of Cullison. Kansas,
a cousin of c. L. Caldwell. left yesterday
for Cincinnati on a rather peculiar bust
ness. He belonged to the Thirty seventh
Indiana regiment and some time ago ap-
piled for back pension amounting 10 about
81. so. The papers were filed and 1t was
discovered that a man IN Cincinnati had
made an application for pension claiming
to have been in the same regiment and
company. The Cincinnati man was ar
rested and Mr.. Douglass went 10 Cincin-
natl 70 establish his claim.

A NEW HAMPsHIRE CAPITALIST.

Mr. G. c. Gilman, a capitalist Of Nashua
New Hampshire, has been in the city
since Saturday, a guest of Mr. Oak David
son. Mr.. Gilman had not been in Wich-
tia for three years during which time, he
says, Wichita has been surely doing some
lively work in the way of erecting sub
stantial buildings and in the forwarding
of great enterprises. Mr. Gilman III his
call yesterday said that visiting Wichita
without seeing the EAGLE, would be like
visiting Rome and not looking for the
Forum Magnum, of the colosseum. How
ever Mr. Gilman does not think that
Wichita's present and future rest on the
logic of events, but on the logic of environ
ments; in the corn fields and pigs; the
wheat fields and their mills; the pastures
and their cattle, all of such breadth and
number as can be found in few places
within the boundry lines Of this or of any
other country; in her charmed circle and
its hundreds of thriving towns; in her
friendly relations with Oklahoma, rich in
natural resources and holding out her
hand for community Of interests; these
are some of the big factors in Wichita's
hiU future

Hor WATER 70 RELIEVE THIRST.

HoT WATER TO RELIEVE THIRST.
1t is mistake to suppose that cold
drinks are necessary to relieve thirst.
Very cold drinks, as a rule, increase
the feverish condition of the mouth
and stomach, and So create thirst.
Experience Shows it to be fact that
hot drinks relieve the thirst and
'cool off, the body when it is in an
abnormally heated condition better
than ice-cold drinks. It is far better
and safer to avoid the free use of
drinks below so degrees; in fact a
higher temperature is to be preferred !;
and those who are much troubled
with thirst will do well to try the adj
Vantages to be derived from hot
drinks, instead of cold fluids to which
they have been accustomed. Hot
drinks also have the advantage of
aiding digestion, instead of causing
debility of the stomach and bowels.
