is RESTING EASIER.

Young Ed Van Dine, who was brought
to this city from Oswego night before last,
by Chief Burrows, was seen last night.
He is resting easier and is under the tender
care of an affectionate mother, whose care
ful nursing will give the boy life if any
thing win. Strong hopes are entertained
of the boys recovery, although the wound
IS a very serious one.
The particulars of the affair were given
by Chief Burrows last evening On Fri
day night at o'clock, Van Dine went to
a little country store four miles west of
Oswego. with another man who had de-
coyed the boy to help him. They sue
ceeded in getting into the store, but here
they were discovered by the proprietor
and his son who appeared upon the scene
with a shot gun and a Winchester rifle,
respectively. The boys ran out of the store
into a corn field hard by. The men shot
after the fleeing fugitives and succeeded in
shooting both. Van Dimes partner got
away by asking the men to get him drink
OF water, and while they turned to comply,
he ran into the corn field and escaped. He
was badly wounded and could be traced
by the pools of blood which were
frequently encountered. Young Van Dine,
whose leg had been shot to pieces, was left
laying on the ground by the heartless
father and son, and remained in a most
painful condition for six hours, when they
roughly threw him into lumber wagon
and took him to Jail.
When Chief Burrows found the boy
he was attended by a doctor who
had done very little to alleviate
the unfortunate boys suffering. The boy
begged the chief to take him to Wichita
The authorities at Oswego however, re-
fused TO let the boy 60. when Mr.. Burrows
threatened TO get the officials into trouble
for the brutal treatment the boy had re-
ceived. This helped and he got the permits
sion to take him. At Neodesha a physician
properly attended to the boy for the first
time since he was shot. The doctor was at
the depot in compliance with a dispatch
sent by Mr.. Burrows. The ride was most
one. Mr. Burrows speaks in the
highest terms of the train men on the west
bound passenger train on the Frisco Of
Monday evening, who did all in their
power TO aid Mr. Burrows with his charge.
The chief says that in all his travels be
had never been treated SO nice and 80 aided
by the railroad men.
The people Of Oswego express great
sympathy for the boy who they think is
not TO blame. They ascribe his taking
part in the affair by getting into bad COM
pany and being compelled to help in the
deed The boy is well liked in Oswego
and the people sympathize with the par
euts of the unfortunate boy, and condemn
the inhuman treatment accorded the boy.

BIG CORN ON THE CowsKIN.

David Parkinson, prominent farmer of
this county residing northwest of this city
on the Cowskin, was here yesterday. He
reports everything in his locality in the
most fiourishing condition. Wheat is safe
ly in stack, oats are in shock, fruit of all
kinds is abundant, and corn is made, at
least it is now beyond all harm of dry
weather. This is one of the years, says Mr..
Parkinson, when the corn and the weeds
growing together in field, both make a
crop. There is the biggest corn on the
Cowskin ever raised in Kansas. With the
present moisture in the ground look ont
for 60 bushels per acre in corn" Mr..
Parkinson has been a farmer for many
years in this county and was in town for
the purpose of renting house in the city
to live in this winter, desiring TO send his
children to school here A fine rain fell
yesterday on the Cowskin, which will
make the corn crop unusually heavy, and
puts the ground in elegant shape for fall
blowing. This is an old time year in
Kansas.

REV. JOHN KIRBY.

Those who heard the Rev. John Kirby's
sermons, morning and evening, last Sun
day, and there were many there, were
greatly repaid for ali the expectations of a
feast of reason and flow of soul they had
summoned up. In the morning the hour
that ne spoke passed like a sixth of that
time. and it IS no exagseration to say that
every word was caught up with rapt at
tention and weighed with intellectual and
religious reflection. Mr.. Kirby is a minis
ter of gigantic brain motives, great heart
and unreined cogent decision that carries
conclusion with utterance. II God made
you an eagle, he said. soar like an eagle;
If a lion, roar ike lion.
His sermon in the evening is by some de-
clared TO have been paramount to the
morning effort.

A BRILLIANT FUTURE,

J. NJ. Burlington, of Oxford, who has
been a regular shipper to the stock yards
here ever since they were built, was in the
city yesterday. He entertained an EAGLE
representative for a short time by recalling
some of the old-time incidents of life in the
early days of Wichita, when he first came
to this country. He knows the country
well, and can tell some very remarkable
stories about it. Although Mr.. Burlington
has been shipping to this stock market for
a long time, yesterday was the first time
he ever visited it in person. He thinks
Wichita in general, and the Union Stock
yards in particular, has brilliant future

THE COUNTY NORMAL,

The County Normal institute held its
opening session at the High school build
ing yesterday morning at o'clock, under
the direction of Conductor G. w. Ken
drick and assisted by H. w. Charles and
r. s. Lawrence. The beginning is very
flattering there being already an attend
ance of 121, which is the largest enroll
ment for the first day, of any institute ever
held in the county. Several others have
arrived.
The day was given to and devoted mostly
to organizing classes and doing other pre-
liminary work.
The program for the institute will be
given out shortly and will be published in
the EAGLE. The institution this year bids
fair to eclipse any former enterprise of the
kind.

was for the purpose of discussing the po-

tions. The meeting adjourned to meet on
