THE RIOT ACT.

There is class of people and not few
societies and institutions in this city de-
pending upon public patronage for sup
port, who are compelled to have more or
less job and program printing done, and
who give the same to some job Office and
then go to the daily newspapers for gratu-
itous advertising. This is cheek. But for
the newspapers their enterprises four
times out of five would fall fat. This is
tiresome The EAGLE is no beggar, and
surely would coerce no one Everybody is
perfectly free to spend their money with
whatever job office they may choose. but
let these look to the same source for their
puffs and free send-offs, and do not insult
publishers who must necessarily know all
about 1t. The EAGLE is the most liberal
paper in the state in its treatment OF all
worthy home enterprises, in its gratu-
itous aid of churches and societies, but it
is not oblivious to the mean way in which
it is almost constantly worked by these
people who when they have any money to
expend take it some where else only be-
cause they are solicited and begged to
do

Abraham Tramley, the new colored
janitor, is fine specimen of the old time
colored man. He tips his hat to every

sioner, is catching on to the business Of
his office rapidly and he feels as much at
home as if he was in there a year. Matt
can talk about seventeen different kinds
of German, and Of course all his country
men who have not yet mastered the
queens English find him very handy
when they have business at the court
house.
Fred Sewers finds life very congenial in
the registers Office when he is not busy
looking over the early records, where he
finds many things that recall the stirring
events in the early history of Wichita
He is now reading the first naturalization
record of the county. with as much inter
est as boy manifests in reading a dime
novel.
Judge Stratton hasn't struck it very
rich since be has been in the probate
court. Only three marriage licenses have
beed taken out since he was inaugurated.

CHARGES WITHDRAWN.
The FlagG Divorce Ease DISMISS d ut the Re
quest OF The PlaiHtin

Yesterday morning the divorce case OF
Flagg VS.. Flagg was dismissed in the dis
trict court at the request of the plaintiff,
Mrs. Mary Flagg It is intimated that
the case was prompted by sudden i'm
pulse of jealousy caused by the wagglng
tongues Of some busy-body's. This. at
least. is what a close and intimate friend
of the family says, aud it is not unreason-
able now to believe it, considering The
prompt withdrawal O: the charges yester-
day morning A mistake has evidently been
made. In fact, even before the withdrawal
of the charges it WAS the general opinion
Of those who heard OF the filing Of the suit
that there must be mistake somewhere.
Mr.. Flagg has lived in Wichita for fifteen
years and there never has been q word
uttered against his character, either pri-
vate or public, before, aud it is unreason-
able TO think that he would be guilty of
any breach of morality now
The friends Of the family, and they are
many, are very much pleased at the events
have taken. 1t is not proper to go into
details, but there has evidently
been very serious mistake made
by woman with an impulsive
temperament who unquestionablybelie
ed she was wronged. In the meantime
the friends of the family who witnessed
with establishment the threatened dis
ruption of happy home think it is about
time something was done TO gag the pro-
fessioual gossipers who magnify mole
hills into mountains. Mr.. Flagg and his
family naturally feel very much grieved
over the unfortunate incident.

ORDER OF STATION EMPLOYEES.
The Santa Fc Says Our OF the Ord r Out OF
job.

Friday night an order was received by
the station employees of the Atchison, To
peka ana Santa Fe railway in this city,
who are members of the Brotherhood OF
Station Employees, saying they could either
discontinue their membership in that Or
der or resign their places 10 the employ OF
the company.
The order was sent out from the Office
of the general superintendent, was peremp-
tory and only gave all those interested
until O'Clock last evening TO decide.
The Brotherhood OF Station Employees
was organized about eighteen months ago
and was similar organization to that OF
the bridge builders aud the telegraphers,
having for its object, the members say,
their mutual benefit and WAS in no way TO
be considered antagonistic to the railway
co mpanies.
The order was growing rapidly. The lodge
in this city, although only organizeds
short time ago, had thirty mem bers. There
were lodges at Arkansas City, Newton and
Florence and only few days ago organiza-
tions were perfected at Denver, Trinidad
and other points west.
At only II few stations have the agents
become members of the order. One en-
ploye speaking of this last night said he
only knew OF few agents that had joined
it. When asked what they did in refer
ence to the order, he said:
"What could we do?" The order meant
business, and we did not want to lose our
positions. so we just had to get out of the
order That is all we could do The order
is new one and we were not strong
enough to fight the railroad companies,
even had we been so disposed"

HOW HE GOT A TICKET.

When a colored preacher has an appoint
ment to fill he will do it if it is even neces-
sary to overcome more obstacles than were
ever placed in the way of Peter Cartwright,
the pioneer dispenser of the gospel, and
they were many.
There is a colored gentleman of the
cloth in this city who had been invited to
preach today in town long distance
from here. He wanted to go there. 1t is
in a country where his lbrethern
flourish and as he rustled around
yesterday, trying to raise sufficient
cash to purchase a railroad ticket, visions
of a permanent call TO that land of milk
and honey, no doubt fitted through his
mind. And perhaps some of the faithful
here also had visions, but if they did they
were of church without pastor. flock
without leader. and they did not want
their beloved minister to go away.
AT least they did not pay him
enough on back salary to enable
him to buy his ticket, but he
was at the depot in ample time
for the train, and on counting his money
found he was just S395 short. He whis-
pered his predicament in the ear of the &C
commodating ticket agent gave him the
money ana also passed over fairly good
silver watch.
The agent handed out a ticket that
would take him to his much desired desti-
nation, and gave him nickel, saying:
Now / will send your watch there G. o.
D. s., and here is nickel coming to you. ]"
"All right. sah," said the preacher, the
breddrin will'--
"The expressage will be 25 cents and the
return charges 10 or Is cents, the agent
told him.
"All right, sah," the now delighted
preacher replied 1.-THE breddrin thar
will pay it. Oh yes. it will shuah be paid
soon rs preachin am obah tomorrow, and
be started 30 the platform so anxious to
get on the train that he forgot his umbrel-
Ia Coming back for it be early ran
over reporter and by way of apology,
said:
Mighty nice man, dat ticket man."
The energetic rustier for a ticket, that
may prove a "4-l1-44' to him, knows
what he has to preach for today and his
hearers will no doubt listen to a flow of
eloquence that will draw enough silver
from their pockets to redeem the watch
several times and perhaps satisfy them
that it is proper TO "calr' the persistent
divine.

WICHITA WAKES UP.
Valuable Business and resident Properties
Change Hands.

Within the week the EAGLE called at
tention to the fact that rentals on business
streets were being advanced on all renewed
leases from ten to twenty per cent Elig
ible business rooms are only to be had at a
premium or by buying out lessees. The
growth of business is not only observed of
all but is being felt in demand for both
purchases and rents. Within this week in
round numbers the sum of one hundred
thousand dollars have been paid in
through the banks for Wichita
property, and with two exceptions the
properties purchased are business houses
The cold cash. SIC, 900 in gold, was deposit
ed day before yesterday for an uptown
residence, possession to be given this
spring. Two business houses on Main
street were bought this week, one for 3d.,
900 and the other for $4,000. Fifteen
thousand dollars were deposited for a
business house on Douglas avenue which
will be paid over as soon as title is made
BOOu. AuOGBeT UlS SAFE On buc Ncob DA0O
and another in Grieffenstein's addition
only hang fire because of the difference of
the agents commissions. Politically
things may appear little streaked, and
Jerry may plant and Mollie may water;
but Wichita has got the cinch on the in
crease of this great valley, and therefore
must flourish and grow. As nothing short
of great city can meet the market and
trade demands of this great valley, so
nothing can prevent Wichita, sooner or
later, becoming all that her advantages
demand, and all that her surroundings
warrant.
One hundred thousand dollars cash for
property, in single week, may seem in
significant in comparison to realizations
of the past, but it is greater sum than
any i've cities of the state combined can
show for the first two weeks of the new
year of 1893.
