COL PHILLIPS IN TOWN.

Congressman w. A. Phillips, attor-
ney for the Cherokee nation, was in the
city last night on his return from Cald-
well to his home at Salina. He was seen
at the Carey by an EAGLE representative,
TO whom he spoke freely about the lands
belonging to the people who hire him to
look after their business.
The opening of the Indian lands east of
Oklahoma next Tuesday was the first sub
ject OF the conversation, but it soon chang
ed to the Cherokee strip, about which
there is much speculation as to when it
will be thrown open for settlement. Mr..
Phillips says that people is ready to sell
the right to all the strip for reasonable
price, but he is positive that country will
not be opened inside of one year and it
may not in two. He gave as his reason
that the land had TO be purchased first, and
that rs the appropriations are generally
the last business Of the congress il is
doubtful about the money being provided
for before next July and then it will take
several months to complete matters before
it will be ready. And if the state of the
finance of the country should be such at
that time as TO make the step an unwise
one the appropriation will be delayed a
year which will also put back the opening
of the country just the same length of
time.
Mr.. Phillips claims that the trade that
was about made two years ago should
have been com pleted because the technical
tty amounted TO nothing that could possi-
bly, be Of the slightest danger as to the
hereafter part of 1t.
The colonel has been employed to assist
1n the prosecution of noted murder case
in Norton county, which is set for next
week and in order to make preparations
for that he continues his journey home
ward this morning.

THE STOCK YARDS,

The past week has been peculiar one
as regards the business at the stock yards
of this city. At the first of the week the
Whitaker Packing company was running
and bought all the good fat hogs as fast as
they came in, but they shut off again
Thursday and since then there has been
lots of hogs in, but they were disposed of
at shipping prices which does not mean so
much for the market.
In the cattle market there has also
been quite a change in prices. they
having gone down quite a great deal
and the receipts, which were the largest of
any week for six months or more, were
withstanding the fact that eastern mar
kets have been glutted this week, all
of the large number of cattle received were
sold at prices which would not have
been excelled in Kansas City. This fact
alone speaks volumes for the yards and
their business.

s,A.p or TRADE OF WICHITA.

The BOARD of Trade has effected
rJhanpe in ita organization and rules
,-barahv rnder the laws of Kansas 1t
has become a trading or commercial or
oanization. adding just that much to Its
FORMER mowers. and it is hoped without
sunairinr any of its former usefulness.
+ q Mfltner & Co.'s elevator has quail
fed under the law, and given the required
bond, and is therefore regular Mr. Joseph
Maxwell has passed the necessary examl-
nation with the greatest credit, has gwen
the required bond and has been appointed
by the Board of Trade and confirmed oy
the state grain inspector as deputy staOe
grain inspector for Wichita. He is now
prepared to inspect and weigh all the grain
marketed at this point and give valid GER
tificates for the same.
The representatives of the three grain
markets of the state-Atchison, wichita
aud Kansas City-met on the 4th inst. at
Kansas City, Kan, and established the
grades for the 1891 crop, in accordance
with the laws of the state. A tabulated
statement Of those grades will be found
in the present issue of the EAGLE, under
the head of rules for the government
of grain inspection in Kansas. Special at
tention is called to the new grade of Kan
sas hard wheat, as the reputation OF that
wheat has gone abroad and is valued
higher in England than any other. 1t is
hoped the establishment of that grade Will
be of great benefit to this market, as this
is probably the only market in existence
where unmixed Kansas hard wheat can be
certainly obtained.
The geographical location of Wichita in
relation to the production of wheat is such
as to hereafter insure our grades OF what
ever name to be strictly Kansas wheat.
Heretofore our wheat when shipped TO
Missouri river points or beyond was liable
to be mixed with shipments from many
other points and lose its identity, and the
benefit of Kansas hard was lost to the
wheat raisers of our state. 1t is expected
that Wichita's territory will not be slow
TO avail itself of these more favorable
methods and classification.
Mr. Maxwell can be seen at the board of
trade at 9 a. m, or any communication at
that address will reach him.

HELD UP.

A well known young gentleman of this
city, while returning home from the social
at the M. E. church on Friday night, was
held up by three tough characters on Elm
street, between lawrence and Topeka
avenues. He was walking east when he
suddenly encountered three very danger
Gus looking fellows armed with clubs.
One threw himself in front of the man
while the others got on each side of him.
The young man quietly drew back and
drew his revolver on them which he car
ried in his hand. The fellows then asked
him where certain dance was and said
they meant no harm. He allowed them to
go unmolested and he walked home
safely.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE BEEBE-BARBoUR co.

There was play at the McKennan op.
era house last evening. The elite turned
out to welcome the Little Oracle Beebe
and Edwin Barbour company" "The
Shadows of Old Orchard Farm" was pro-
duced. 1t is not necessary to remind our
readers of the excellence of this drama.
That they are familiar with the author
there is no doubt, but it is of the players
we wish to speak. In word they are all
excellent, and rendered collectively Mr..
Barbour's picture of home life in an artis-
tic manner The character of Roxy, the
motherless waif, was most superbly rem
dered by little Oracle Beebe. Mrs Gray
lock, as portrayed by Mrs. Kate Beebe can
not be improved on. The finer feelings
and sympathies of the most depraved GER
tainly had to yield to the sympathetic
soul that finds lodging in the part OF
Johns wife, as presented by Mrs. Kate
Beebe. True, depth-penetrating earnest
ness is called for il representing this char
acter. Mrs. Kate Beebe is equal to the
anthor's demand. News, Sept IS.
