ANr-HoRsE-rHlEF ASSOCIATION.

The Kansas department of the National
Auti-Horsethief association will hold its
annual meeting in this city tomorrow.
Three hundred delegates are in attendance
and the meeting promises TO be one Of
unusual interest to the association, and to
the community. To give some idea OF the
mission OF the association and what it has
accomplished we viii state that during
the past twelve months fourteen horses
that were stolen from members of the or
ganization were recovered-every horse
that was lost to its owner was restored
through the system Of cooperation they
have adopted And not only this, but the
association secured the conviction of seven
persons against whom it preferred charges
Of horse stealing, and the imposition of the
penalty of the law therefor.
Through the efforts of this organization
in pursuing and recovering stolen horses
and capturing the thieves, this class of
outlawry mas been very greStly diminished.
and it is hoped that the organization will
be extended and perfected in its plans Of
operation until the costly and exasperSting
crime OF horse stealing shall be completely
broken up.
Request is made of the livery men OF the
city that they send TO point in the city,
sufficient to give the officers and members
of the association q complimentary ride
through the city,
Further announcements VIII be made in
tomorrow mornings EAGLE.

WANTS TO FIND A JOINT"

Someone signing his postal card Sub
scriber'' asks for full information OF the
"ioints" and how much they pay. We
are sorry, but we are very ignorant on
that subject There may be, however,
such places existing. II the Democratic
bosses who hold the Republican party re
sponsible for those supposed Joints" are
TO be believed there must be well nigh onto
a thousand. These same Democrats, while
acknowledging that the Joint couldn't
exist but for the Republican party, are yet
claiming that the prOprietors OF these
joints are supporting the Democratic
ring candidate for sheriff II that should
prove true we hope those proprietoCs will
look TO said Democratic bosses when
trouble comes, as II viii. dead sure, and
that is about al we know about the
Joint" business.

VERY CoNTEMPTIBLE.

A Democratic councilman who knows
all about the matter Of the Mathewson
and the Schweiter additions, in which the
opposition are trying to make it appear
that Judge Reed acted without warrant Of
law and in the absence Of judicial honesty,
called yesterday to say that such warfare
was not only contemplate but outrageous.
The city council itself passed upon and
favored the selling out Of these additions.
for good and sufficient reasons. and so GER
titled through the city attorney to the dis
trict court, who finding that the attorneys
on both sides were entirely satisfied ap-
proved the journal only without even stop
ping to go into the case. In the Schweiter
case. that gentleman decided the city a

REPUBLICAN RALLY AT aREENsBUnG.

Senator Bentley of this city and John w
Davis ESQ. of Kiowa county held fine
Republican rally at Greensburg at Myers
opera house on Saturday evening last. 1t
is very busy time with the farmers OF
Kiowa county; they are improving every
hour of daylight in sowing wheat. The
acreage win be much larger next year
than it has been the present season, yet
about 400 people consisting Of many ladies
some Alliance men and old soldiers made
up most appreciatiye and intelligent
audience, to hear the speakers discuss the
issues of the day. The political questions
Of. the day were handled with care, candor
and ability. Last year Senator Long
spoke at the same place to an audience Of
about fifty people, This apathy has pass
ed away and the old time interest has re-
turned. The Alliance is not in the race in
Kiowa county. The county is naturally
Republican and this year will return to
the Republican fold. Cause, a return of
reason, good crops and better times.
John w. Davis, Esq, a bright young
LAWYER of Greensburg, opened the meeting
with half-hour's speech. Mr.. Davis is
fluent and graceful speaker, happy in ex-
preston. and perfectly at home upon the
platform. His Republicanism is Of that
unswearving kind that makes itself felt.
He goes to the root of proposition, and
his arguments are very convincing. As
time goes by, John. W. Davis of Kiowa
county will be heard from in Kansas poll
tics. Senator Bentley followed Mr.. Davis,
occupying an hour and a half in most
careful and exhaustive address. He held
the close and undivided attention of his
audience to the very close. The meeting
occupied two hours, and it was the very
best political meeting held in Kiowa
county for a number of years.
The people say that there is no possible
doubt Of the election of the entire Repub-
lican ticket, in Kiowa county this fall. The
candidates of the party were present at
the meeting, and are confident of success.
Senator Bentley says that he found
Billy Bolton of the Kiowa Signal, wearing
his old clothes, but with his Republican
zeal unfaltering, working like beaver,
drilling in $50 acres of fine wheat field.
The farmers in Kiowa county say that
they will continue wheat sowing till
Thanksgiving day. Kiowa county is an
exceedingly fine wheat county.
All out through the beautiful Minnesota
valley, in Kingman, Pratt and Kiowa
counties, the fresh green of the new wheat
fields is seen on every hand; as the years
go by the cultivated area increases, and
the country grows better

FIRST coNsIGNMESr:oF ONION SETS,

Yesterday, Ross Brothers, the commits
sion men, shipped to Kansas City the first
consignment of onion sets ever shipped out
of the county in car load lots. They were
a fine variety and much better than the
usual quality of commercial onion sets,
They were raised by two farmers of this
county, MeSSrs. Slough and Orendortf,
living south and west of Wichita respect
ivly and they are not all the onion sets
these gentlemen have raised by any mesns.
Mr. Ross is very enthusiastic over this new
resource aud thinks that in a few years
this section of Kansas viii furnish the
onion sets for the entire agricultural west,
as they are, rs before stated, far ahead of
the average commercial variety. Year By
wear the Sedgwick county farmer is getting
to that point where he will have every
thing. almost, to IseIl and comparatively
little TO buy.

THREE DISAPPOINTED HUNTsMEN.

George Cert, John Kraph and Harvey
II. Fretz shouldered their guns Sunday
morning and went out into the woods that
skirt the raging Arkansaw to wage war on
the canvas back or whatever else would
show up in the line of game. When about
nine miles outside the city limits their
eyes fell upon a sight that sent them into
estacies of delight, for beyond the waters
on the other shore they saw a flock of
ducks and geese that were peacefully re-
posing on the edge of the water. Their
guns were rapidly loaded, the river crossed
and with cautious tread they advanced
toward the object of their aim. When
within gunshot distance they laid down
and fired a terrific volley, but the ducks,
or the geese, didn't move. They reloaded
and retired, but the ducks and the geese
sat still, gazing apparently into the water
Another fusilade was fired, but still the
ducks and geese seemed oblivious of the
attack made on them. The boys advanced
closer and were about TO fire again, when
Jake Cooper emerged from the bushes,
shouting;
'sBo5sl for Gods sake, don't hurt my de-
coys."
The boys invited Jake very cordially to
take them out, one by one, into the brush,
and kick them for the mistake they had
made and the nine charges of powder they
had wasted. trying to kill wooden ducks
and geese.
