AN OLD MANS RECOLLECTION,

Another promising harvest is at hand. 1t
seems as we journey through our beauti-
ful country that Providence is almost
partial in bestowing upon us such SPLEEN
did luXuriances of the fruits of the earth
for never in my recollection of the sixty
seven harvests do we recall a harvest more
varied and abundant. We talk over old
times when harvests were reaped with the
sickle, we part with friends and with old
customs, but we still sigh for the olden
days when fashions was less eXacting. and
instead of the founces of the modern
bellies our mothers We're plainly clad, and
of the modern dude, our fathers were sat
isfiep with short breeches and knee
backles.
Our recollections of the earlier years
among those familiar scenes appear to US
now like repetition of the good old days
of Adam and Eve, when nothing but Joy
and delight surrounded US.
Kansas has another triumph added to
her reputation. The citizens of Wichita
should feel proud of their beautiful city
life to which are added the luxuries of ex-
cellent water and most salubrious
climate
In conclusion, we extend to all the good
people to whom are seeking homes to
come where milk and honey flows freely.
Far beyond the lofty skies,
Around the world it ranges
Though never seen by mortal eyes,
Yet it every moment changes

HEARTS AND HANDS.

Last evening at 7:30 o'clock, at the cor
ner of Sixteenth and Park, Rev. Z. r.
Shipper united in marriage Lieutenant r.
h. Mundevello and Mrs. Lillian WILDER.
Some twenty couple were present 70 wit
ness the union of these two lives, and as
the reverend gentleman pronounced the
words that made the twain one, and added
that what God has joined together in
holy wedlock, let no man break asunder, "
and pronounced them man and wife, those
present extended their congratulations
and wished them God speed ON life's jour-
ney.
Many suitable presents were received,
when the bride and groom led the way to
the spacious dining room where a stump
tuous repast was spread to which ample
justice was done
The newly married couple are we'll and
favorably known in this city. and many
heart wishes for pleasant journey
through life will be felt, if not expressed.
The boys of battery "a" of which the
groom is lieutenant, marched to the resi-
dence and fired salute in honor of the
marriage, and the command extended
their congratulations to their officer. The
company were invited IN and beheld the
one who had captured the lieutenant s
heart and hand After congratulations
the company returned to their barracks,
saying that their leader had made wise

HARVEST REFLEC TIONS.

Farmers throughout southern and south
western Kansas, are now harvesting one
of the largest-if not the largest-wheat
crop that was ever raised in the state.
Different estimates place the yield at from
thirty to forty bushels per acre, but prob
ably Il more conservative estimate would
give it at about twenty-five, which, we
think. is safer to say in order to be on the
safe side and not over estimating il before
it is threshed, thus causing a very bitter
disappointment sometimes when the exact
yield is ascertained. If our farmers ever
had an opportunity to feel elated over
their bright prospects, it is certainly this
year, and the one who does not raise the
mortgage from his farm with what he will
realize from his wheat crop is either too
indolent to ever be successful or too in
different for the good of his own welfare

CHAUrAUQUA SOCIAL

The West Side Chautauqua circle was
entertained on Friday evening at the
palatial and hospitable home of It's presi-
dent, Mr., r. E. Lawrence. The banquet
which was spread before the guests in the
large and eiegant dining hall was truly a
feast fit for the gods" consisting, as it
did, of many of the delicacies of this and
other chimes aud seasons.
The guests present were DR.. and Mrs.
Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Human, DR.. and
Mrs Bass, Mr. and Mrs. Blake, Mr.. and
Mrs Shane, Mr.. and Mrs Allison, Miss
Honu, Miss Courier. the Misses McCor-
mick, Miss Sharp, Miss Fowler. Miss Shane
and Messrs. Mccormick, Rogers and Lee
land, with some visiting members of Mr..
Lawrence's family. All felt that the time
had come to put aside the heavier work of
the year. and there was a constant flow of
sparkling wit and quick repartee around
the table.
This circle has completed the third year
of its work, having thirteen of its original
members, while others have joined each
year. Among it's members are Yale. an
Oberlin and an Ohio Wesleyan graduate,
while there are several colleges less re.
nowned that have representatives. A
classmate of Henry Beers and several
CEautauqua graduates are among the
readers, so the circle could scarcely be
other than IA pleasant one.
These Chautauquans will continue their
reading during the summer months, and
the first work of higher series which
they will discuss is Cables "In Old Creole
DAYS"

POULTRY KING.

H. o. Munger of Denver, is stopping at
the Carey house. La an interview by our
reporter Mr.. Munger stated that he was
surprised at the prospects for such an inn
mense grain crop after such continued
wet weather. In inquiring about the
poultry business he was pleased to state
that he was well pleased with his Wichita
branch, which has paid out for poultry
alone in the past three months over 50, 0O0
This is certainly to be appreciated by our
farmers and merchants. Mr.. Munger
states that he has three houses; one in this
city; one at Colorado Springs, Colo. and
main house at Denver, Colo. They handl e
and dispose of in these three houses over
$500, 900 worth of poultry and game an
nually; receiving some from the states
and territories and shipping to every state
in the union, and to England and France
1t is pleasure to converse with such
pleasant and wideawake man as Mr.. Nun
ger, and while we meet plenty of cattle
kings, etc, we don't often enough run
across poultry kings" if Mr.. NJ. is a fair
sample

MADE A THOUSAND.

A dispatch appeared in the EAGLE this
week announcing that Cash Henderson
of this city had purchased a large dry
goods store at Fremont, Neb, for which
he paid the sum of SO, 500 At the time of
publishing the item it was promised that
the EAGLE would give full explanation
of the meaning of the telegram. Tie
article attracted universal attention and
many predictions were made as TO the
future intentions OF Mr.. Henderson 10
making such purchase. Some held to
the theory that he would run both stores,
others that he would bring the
stock to Wichita, while some
went so far as to assert that Mr. Hender-
son would close out his business here aud
emigrate to Nebraska This last idea was
not generally acceptable, especially was
this SO with the old settlers who had
known Mr.. Henderson from 1872 to the
present time, and believed he was fully
welded to the Peerless Princess.
Mr. Henderson returned yesterday from
Nebraska and was seen by an EAGLE re-
porter to whom he made the following
explanation:
Sometime since large firm doing bust
ness at Fremont, Neb., failed and their
stock was closed out at forced sale. OF
course 1 am always looking out for soft
snaps, and owe my success IN business as
much to buying goods as in selling, aud
resolved to attend this sale
THE dry goods department was the first
sold, and | bid it in at $23, 500, that price
not being over so cents on the dollar of
what it was worth. knew l could dis
pose of the stock at an advance. or at least
there was nothing to lose by the purchase.
In less than one hour gentleman, repre-
senting large firm, came to me and offer
ed me 81, 900 for my bargain, and | took
him up. selling the stock for sd, 500. 1t
was not as much as the goods were worth,
but am no hog, and believe in quick
sales.
"No, sir, do not intend to leave Wichita,
and expect to continue in business here
during my natural days. and believe that
the Wichita EAGLE 100 years from this
date will contain the advertisement of the
New York store, conducted by my poster
ity. l am rooted to the Peerless Princess,
and it will pay its citizens to watch the
advertisement columns of the EAGLE for
some big bargains"

BASE BALL.
Wichita DEFEATS NV on In a Ten-Inning Game
Score, Wichita 3, Newton


The best game of base ball of the season
was played yesterday afternoon at the
Riverside base ball park, between the
Newton and Wichita clubs Both teams
are evenly matched, and good game can
be expected today.
The game opened with Newton at the
bat, each club scoring one run in the first
inning. Neither side scored in the next
four innings. In the fifth inning Newton
succeeded in getting another run, which
was their last. The Wichita club did not
make their second run until the eighth
inning. making the score to =, and as
neither club scored in the ninth inning the
occupants of the grand stand became ex-
cited. In the tenth inning Newton went
out in one, two, three order. and after two
men were out on the Wichita side Wood
cock reached first on an error by the
pitcher. stole second, and came home on
Reynolds hit to right field. Taken alto
gether it was as good a game as one would
care to see. The game today will be called
at $50 sharp. The battery of the Wichitas
will be Collins and Perrin, and for the
Newtons, Evans and DelZell.
The following is summary of the game:

THE GREAT SOUTHWEST.

Charles Irwin of Meade county, was in
the city last night. During the past
three months be has travelled ali over the
southwest portion of Kansas. He WAS
met last night by an EAGLE reporter an
interviewed as to the prospects for that
portion of the state. He said in substance:
From the best and most reliable infor
nation that can be gotten the counties of
Barber, kiowa, Comanche, Clark, Meade
Morton, Seward, Stevens, Stanton, Grant.
Haskell, Hamilton, Kearney, Fiuney,
Gray and Ford. comprising very nearly all
of southwest Kansas, are simply teemiug
with wheat and other small grain, and
thousands of acres OF sod are being made
to kiss the sum- all of which will he put in
small grain next fall as result of the
success which has crowned the efforts of
the farmers of these sections in the past
two or three years"
Besides what the farmers and those
who own their land are doing to
change the appearance of the
country and make the great American
desert bloom as a rose, the loan companies
are having an immense amount of their
land broken out to be sown TO wheat this
will be one vast expause of wheat, with a
big mixture of oats, rye and barley. So
you can figure on peace, plenty and pros
perity within our borders and contentment
within our palaces The result will be
that southwestern Kansas will be most
inviting country for the restless and dis
contented eastern homeseeker aud multi
tudes OF good and thrifty people Will md
it to their best and highest interests to
locate in the great and growing southwest,
"As the southwest prospe-s so will Wich
ita expand. The Peerless Princess is already
the great Jobbing center for this country,
and when equitable freight rates are Sc
cured, which firmly believe is not many
days in the future. the deep water -hacbor
on the south completed, Wichita viii be
be the Minneapolis for grain of this coun-
try. No other point is so favorably stu
ated for controlling this trade.
Wichita is now the live stock market
OF Southwestern Kansas, aud no new
market has ever made the same advance
ment in permanent and lasting foauda-
tions for controlling the products ot the
garden spot of the world that Wichita has.
II your citizens become discouraged let
them take a trip through tue country
adjacent and tributary 10 her trade. Such
a trip will be time and money well spent.
