TIE UNION PACIFIC CONNECTION.

An EAGLE reporter called at the Office of
Senator Bentley and made inquiry of him
concerning the new Union Pacific connec-
ton, known as the Halstead Belt Line
Railroad. Senator Bentley said: / am in
almost constant communication, by tele-
phone between this city and Halstead,
with Mr.. G. Eisenmeyer,, the president of
the railway company. The Halstead
townships proposition, as submitted, COM
pels the building of the line to the north
line Of Halstead township, about six miles
north of Halstead. Mr.. Eisenmeyer has
just returned from St. Louis and informs
me that as soon as the present elections are
over that the line from Bentley to the
north line of Halstead township will be
put under contract. We are now,
said Mr.. Bentley, carefully preparing
for our election in Eagle township. Mr..
Eisenmeyer has submitted a very light
proposition to Eagle township, and re-
ports received today indicate that the peo-
pie will carry the proposition. The line
will be pushed to Mcpherson, and in all
probability further north. This will make
Bentley division point. 1t is the natural
trading point of Eagle township. In any
event it will be an important station, as
good as Burton, which now has two rail-
roads, and not an empty house inthe town.
This fact is helping us on in our bond
proposition. The placing of town
like Burton, or Halstead, or Val
ley Center, with its attendant
taxable property, in Eagle town
ship, by voting the amount of the
present proposition, is too important
business proposition to be overlooked by
Eagle township, and will not be. An
other thing said Senator Bentley, which
is of great interest is the fact that the
Wichita board of trade, and Wichita's bus
mess men are watching every move made
by the new company; they are extremely
anxious for success. Heavy fnanciers
like j. 0. Davidson, NJ. w. Levy, William
G. Dacey and others have indicated de
sire to help the new line. Our people
want, and are bound to have direct line
of railway from Wichita to Mcpherson.
The present company are prepared to build
the line complete ready for the
rolling stock from Bentley to
the north line of Halstead township.

Y. z. S. C. f. SOCIAL.

The Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor of the First Presbyterian church
held a social at the church last evening
which was largely attended and greatly
enjoyed. The object of the social was to
encourage acquaintance and sOciability
among the members OF the church and it is
to be presumed that the social was a grand
success in that particular as well as in
others. The following program was well
rendered, each receiving an encore:

and the ccnnectioa In which IL was said,
implied that the demand would be re!uct-
ansly made, ard only because Of an unwsl-
come necessity.
Assuming thai the yoanx Emperor was
candid on that point, il would seem that
there is an alternative more potent 60 sat

he might achieve wider aud more endar-
