A LETTER FROM GEO. WASH. GAY.
NEW YORK, Aug. s, 1892.

NEW YORK, Aug. s, 1892
To the Editor of the Eagle
SIR am in the land of the bloated
monopolist and anti-more currency advo-
cate. Who also pretends to think the
worlds fair will be a failure because it is
not to be held in New York.
left the Peerless Princess on the Rock
Island to Kansas City, thence via ST.
Louis, Cincinnati, Parkersburg, Washing
ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Would
recommend the route as it is the shortest,
the equipments first class and the atten-
ton from the railroad employees all that
the most fastideous could ask.
In this journey you pass through eleven
states and into the twelf 1t is needless to
add that Kansas is the garden state of all.
The corn crop is a failure in sll the Others,
and the Spectator that sells short on corn
this fall will doubtless be sorry before the
LIST of January.
The scenery along the route is novel.
and much of it grand. West Virginia
would doubtless please our denizens of the
prairie. Il is not strictly speaking a
mountainous country, but series of hills
piled one on the other and when you climb
TO what you suppose is the upper one you
will finl big hill sitting right on top of it,

and Mountain Lake, two celebrated noun
tam resorts, and offers birds eye views
from the ears of more important cities
than any other of the same length ia the
states.
You have fine sight of the capitol at
Washington, also the monument and many
of the public buildings. Most of the large
cities seem 10 try TO make the town appear
as poverty stricken and uninterestingfr from
the cars rs possible. Not SO Washington;
the railroad runs through the park and
much of the fine suburban residence dis
trict, Washington is a beautiful place
II it belonged 10 me nothing but large
cash offer would induce me to part with il,
but would turn the rascals out.
Baltimore. the monument city, is an in
teresting old place The ferrying of the
whole train across Chesapeake bay is a
novel way Of travelling by railroad to US
Kansans
In passing through staid old Philadel-
phia you are treated TO fine panorama of
the park and the picturesque Laurel Hill
cemetery on The banks Scuylkill, and the
trip through New Jersey is ceries of towns
and villas all the way to New York. There
are many sights about New York, and the
lover Of fine scenery viii always enjoy

is wonderful sight or sameness about

Charles w. Temper, Vice President OF the
Kansas Grain Company Drowned
While Bathing.

Yesterday morning Charlie Templer of
Hutchinson left this city the very picture
of health, strength and mental and physi-
cal activity; this morning his body arrived
here cold and rigid in death. Nothing
could demonstrate the uncertainty of
human life more than his death. Yester-
day afternoon dispatch to the EAGLE
from Cheney announced his death briefly
as follows: &C. w. Templer Of Hutchin-
son was drowned here this afternoon while
bathing" The coroner received a SINH
lar term but owing to q failure to catch
the train he could not go down their last
night TO hold an inquest. Probably it was
not necessary as there was no
hint at foul play or anything
like that. Mr.. Young, manager OF
the Kansas Grain company came down
from Hutchinson last night and through
the courtesy of the Santa Fe secured a
special train to 90 out to Cheney and bring
the body to Wichita He was panied
by w Il Kendall the undertaken who
went provided with all the necessary
articles for embalming. Mr.. Young sent
kilograms to the mother of the deceased
who is spending the summer at Manitou
and to the fat her who Is at Kansas City
The latter will be here this morning at
which time defndte arrangements will be
made for the disposition of the body.
G. w. Templer was "a years old and was
vice president of the Kansas Grain aud
Live Stock company of Hutchinson, of
which firm his father is president. He
was reputed to be the best business young
man in Central Kansas and had the
brightest kind of Il future before him had
be been spared to live cut the allotted
term OF lie. His company has agencies
in nearly all the towns in Southern Kan
sas which'he visited frequently in the ca
pacity of anditer III Hutchinson he was
rated as giit-edged both socially, morally
and in other respect and WAS very popu-
lar. He was well known in Wichita and
was always welcome guest at the Carey.
