PROSPEROUS PorTAwAToMIEs.

C. V. Ferguson returned yesterday from
a very interesting trip to the Pottawa-
tonne country in the Indian territory. In
company with William Griffenstein and
Congressman Harvey and wife he attend
ed the graduating exercises at Sacred
Heart mission. Mr.. Ferguson says the
country is in the very acme of fruition.
He says the woods are full of blackberries,
the little openings mushy with unpicked
and decaying Strawberries, and the or
chards heavy with apples and peaches.
while the vineyard at the mission is full
to overlooking. He thinks the Potta-
watomie lands will make one of the great
est fruit sections in the west.
The most surprising part of his trip to
Mr.. Ferguson was the graduating eXer-
cises. Nine Indians were graduated, and
where the dark depths of aboriginal ignor-
ance was expected the bright rays of mod
ern intellectually were diffused. Some of
the girls sang beautifully, and big black
eyed Indian girls, and little tots as well
that even had to be lifted up to the piano
stool. PLAYED duets and piano selections
with grace and taste Mr.. Ferguson says
the exercises came up to any like occasion
he has ever seen.
The Indians were very proud of the
graduates and the applause was constant
and boisterous. The exercises lasted five
hours and were listened to attentively.
The applause after one stirring fortis-
simo piano selection was particularly OBJ
streperous, and Mr.. Ferguson says as a
half dozen old full bloods gave an old
fashioned war whoop Congressman Har-
vev Jumped TO his feet and looked around
toward the exit.
The Sacred Heart mission is a very beau
tiful one and is in charge of two priests
who came there from southern France
some six years ago.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION.

1t is evident that the gentlemen who
have in hand the arrangements for the cell
ebration at Riverside Park on the Fourth
are determined to make it popular dem
onstration. The selection of Col. Emmett
Callahan and Judge j. r. Shields as
speakers for the day was certainly most
happy one. The music for the occasion
to be furnished By Browns full uniformed
military band will no doubt prove to be
all that is expected from musical organi-
cation which enjoys such an enviable rep
utation. The speeches in the afternoon
will be preceded and followed by vocal Sc
lections of appropriate songs rendered by
the Arion quartette. Everything that goes
to amuse and please the assembled crowds
will be on the grounds. Contests OF skill
of various kinds will take place and prizes
awarded to the winners.

THE EAGLE BAND"

Everybody agrees that Wichita as
metropolitan city ought to have and would
maintain band equal to the best in the
state Never in the history of this city has
a larger number of the best instrumental
musicians combined to form and main
tain large band than now, and under the
above name and everybody will not only
take notice but undoubtedly will take
great interest in the affair. While we
have had small organizations of bands and
orchestras from time to time, and at the
present have some that are quite proficient,
still the organization and maintenance of
a grand orchestra or band has never yet
been attempted. The idea Of commencing
actions at once in this matter has been
talked up of late among some of our young
men and in accordance with urgent senti-
ments expressed, held meeting on Friday
evening and perfected the organization of
'The Eagle Band of Wichita" The fol-
lowing is the Instrumentation, as far as
completed:
James H. Hobbs, musical director and
cornet soloist.
Claude Neff, cornetist.
VIII Z. Reeves, cornetist.
Samuel Dorsey, cornetist.
w. b. Lyon, alto.
S. Crawford, alto.
c. Davenport. tenor.
j. w. Lyon, baritone.
q. Gors tuba.
Arthur Reams. Clarinette.
Cecil Harris, clarinette.
S. Reams. B fiat saxaphone.
e. Lovelace, E fat saxaphone.
Harry Dunbar, piccolo.
Arthur Foster, bass drum.
Sherman Skinner, snare drum.
There are quite number of important
places to be filled yet, but the manage
ment have number of persons under con-
sideration Tor these parts.
It will readily be observed from the per-
sonnet OF the organization that number
Of the best young men of the city are in
| terested, and each and every one is an ac-
complished musician. The requirements
for membership are quite severe, as any
applicant must be of high standing in the
community and must be a musician OF
acknowledged ability and experience. The
musical director, Mr. James Hobbs, is a
musician of high standing, having had a
large experience in this kind of work, and
will undoubtedly add greatly to the merits
of the band, while among the members are
some that have enviable regulations as So
| loists The boys will commence rehearsals
very soon, and fine concert is promised
| in the near future.
The officers are: Will E. Reeves, presi-
dent and manager; James H. Hobbs, mu
steal director; Harry Dunbar. secretary
Sherman Skinner, treasurer.
The EAGLE acknowledges the compli
ment in the name chosen for an organiza
ton which promises and undoubtedly viii
be permanent organization and pride
to the city. The principal object of the
young men is to advance the musical in
terests of our city and of each other, and
do not enter into the matter as a source o.
financial gain Or speculation. The man
ager, Mr.. VIII +. Reeves, can be seen al

ton to any affairs connected with the

PRETTY ADVERTISE MENT.

Wichita ministers have resolved to fight
the Joints with fasting and prayer. They
say 1.-THE arm of flesh is not able for the
lob, aud they have resolved to try to intiu-
ence the Lord TO help thenL.-Leavenworth
Times.
The Wichita ministers are all right, but
ali of them did not endorse the scheme of
fighting the wickedness of Wichita by
fasting and prayer There are at least fif-
teen or more pretty level headed ministers
in Wichita, who are pastors and spiritual
teachers in the truest sense, and in no
sense cranks or fanatics. They are preach
ers of the word, outside of which their
mission is to do good visit the sick, COM
fort and encourage the weak and depend
ent and to live righteously and soberly,
leaving il to Others to nose out the hell
holes and stir up the devil to his best per-
formances. These reverends know there
probably can not be found in the
United States city of the size
and life of Wichita where moral
life equals that OF this city, where
broils and DRINKS and rows and Sabbath
dissertations are SO few in number We
are told that one who at the meeting crltl-
cised Wichita the most, not even sparing
her churches or ministers, IS but late I'M
portation from Il VIGOROUSLY uu-Godly
CITY. and that it has not been many
months since he himself was conspicu-
Gus factor of that city's unredeemed.
Wichita undoubtedly has many or the
wicked adjuncts of a center of population,
for there never was city indeed, without
them, but we have no patience with any
CLIQUE "holier than thou" crowd who
would by their extra pretense and put-on
piety have all the outside world believe
that they are but Lots in a modern Sodom
and that Wichita is but a moral sink-hole
and the biggest and widest gate to he'll 10
be found in all the state.

FARMERS BUSY.

Yesterday was probably the quietest day
for Saturday seen in Wichita for many a
day. The fact is, that the farmers are all
putting in their very best licks in harvest
fields. While they report most OF the
wheat in the shock, the oats are coming On
very fast. They are in many fields begin
ming to turn The corn is growing fast,
and the weeds are making a corresponding
growth, so that between,tb wheat, corn
and oats. farmer in this locality must
keep hustIing. Sedgwick county farmers
are doing a heap Of rustling these days,
and it is a winning card. Our merchants
and business men must be patient as the
harvest is a golden one and the returns
will come later on. The same busy
season of the farmers in the country is
having its corresponding effect upon the
stock yards.
