LEVY AT WASHINGTON.
Preparations Being Made for Resumption OF
Wichita National.

A special dispatch from Washington
says:
"Mr. NJ. w. Levy, president of the Wich-
ita National, called at the Office of the
comptroller of the currency today for the
purpose OF making arrangements for re-
opening the bank. of which he is president,
which was forced to close its doors some
days ago. The comptroller being absent,
nothing but an understanding about some
of the detail matters could be reached, but
it is the impression at the department that
there will be little trouble ia so arranging
matters that the bank will be allowed to
resume its business. Mr.. Levy feels very
confident that such an arrangement can
be made and that it can be put into effect
within thirty days. The comptroller of the
currency is expected to return on Monday
morning, when Mr.. Levy will call on him
for final arrangements. II is understood
that the bank will be reduced in capital
stock from two hundred thousand dollars
TO one hundred Thousand. In the mean
time those who would like to be appointed
receiver of the bank are unable TO see how
it is possible for the bank TO resume. Sen
ator Martin Is looking after his side of the
question and has recommended the ap-
pointment of q. T. Pitts, of WELLINGTON,
AS receiver. 1t also happens that some
more papers arrived today from Kentucky,
recommending Mr.. w. r. Dulaney, OF
Wichita. Mr.. Dulaney is firing in his in
dorsements from that state, which is
looked upon as a very strong card, as the
chief deputy in the Office, Mr.. Tucker is
from that state, and from this point of
view the friends of Mr.. Dulaney claim
that, In the event receiver is appointed.
he will be able to defeat the recommends
tion of Senator Martin"
1t is authoritatively given out, however,
that there will be no receiver appointed.
That seems TO be quite sure. During the
week just closed the business done was
very favorable to resumption, and it is the
understanding about the bank that every
thing IS now IN shape for that end.
Fred Bentley has returned from Wash
ington, and his opinion is, from informa-
ton received there, that the bank will uu-
doubleday resume. He says positively that
he was not at Washington pie hunting
but that on the contrary he gave every en-
enlargement to the movement tc' resume.

BONDS WILL CARRY.
so Says Newton Garst Who Has Been Working
Hard for Them.

Newton Garst was working like beaver
yesterday in the interest of the gas, coal
and oil bonds. When asked how he was
prospecting aud whether the bonds would
carry he said:
"Why yes, think they will. For my
own part | don't see how they can fail.

anything of value, and little TO lose if
nothing Is found. | realize the condition
of our people as well as anyone ana know

something ought TO be done.
at has been demonstrated that there is
gas and oil IN large quantities east, south
and west Of US, and why shouldn't We
have it,
Mr.. Jackson, the city engineer, told me
the other daY that they had gas at Lyons
where the finest salt works III the west
are located. Hutchinson found a small
quantity of both gas and oil in
one ~ her wells aud when the
prospecting was done here in 1887 small
flow of gas was found. All this goes to
prove there Is more somew here else, if we

discovered for years. lam a believer in
This kind of work and feel that every COM

Yesterday morning the champions of
Kansas passed through Wichita enroute
home to Winfield
They were the Reds of that city, and a
more enthusiastic lot of fellows never
yelled in Wichita.
When they arrived at the Union depot
at the foot of Douglas avenue they in
dulged in yell that Was plainly heard at
the EAGLE office
All this hilarity was caused by the Reds
winning the championship Of Kansas, in
baseball, from the Maroons of Emporia,
from which city they were returning.
The Reds had special car of the Santa
Fe, which was decorated with immense
red banners, while the national colors, in
tiny flags, waved from every window.
They shouted for Winfield until they
were hoarse, and gave an occasional shout
for Wichita.
The following is the score by innings of
the champion games:

That was a glorious rain yesterday.

That was glorious rain yesterday.
TWAS general throughout the entire
southwest and so far as heard from ex-
tended to the west as far as the Colorado
state line and to the south as far AS the
Panhandle of Texas.
Information has been received at the
EAGLE Office that there WAS an immense
rain at Woodward, Alva, KioSa and Wei
lington, bus not SO good at Harper. Mr..
AXline of the Medicine Lodge CresSer, who
came in last night, reported a fine general
rain all over Barber county. George Al
man, a mail clerk on the Wichita and
Western, reported great downpour ut
Pratt and in fact all along the Wichita and
Western line.
The rain here was quite heavy about
noon and before dsybreak. 1t was equally
heavy all over the county. 1t was great
thing in many respects. 1t will
prove very beneficial to the grass and such
growing crops as turnips, sweet potatoes
and other root products. Best of all it

that has existed for the past month caused

say that TIE rain OF yesterday will have

affected the wells materially. Then, again,
it will improve the condition of the ground

In discussing the rain and its effects yes
terday with farmers from all over the
county a reporter for the EAGLE learned
many things new concerning crops chief
among which was the fact that Sedgwick
county raised more corn and wheat this
ye8r than it did last year or the previous
year. That will be news to many and it
Is vouched for as a fact by at least thirty
farmers who were interviewed. With the
high price of corn and the sympathetic
raise on wheat and oats the farmers of
Sedgwick county will get more money
this year in return for their products than
they have received for many day. The
general feeling that prevailed during the
dry spell concerning the danger and dam
age to the corn was largely imaginary.

VOICE OF THE PAST.
What Was said of Wichita Twenty-Five Years
Ago.


The following from the Emporia News
of 1869, shows how predetermined things
were iu southern Kansas at that time:
Senator j. h. Mead of Towanda, called
this week, and from him We gather the
following items in regard to the new
county of Sedgwick;
The new county lies on the Arkansas,
and has heretofore been considered by
many as a part of the Great American
desert" where vegetation would not do
well. The soil for years has been known
20 be rich aud productive by many OF the
old settlers on the Walnut and White
water In 1860 when the grass was
short in most IF Kansas, fine hay
was made on the Arkansas in the
vicinity of Wichita. MIR. Mead says that
the Arkansas valley Is now considered
just as rich and productive as the kaw
valley. 1t is on the Usage land lately
thrown open, aud the land Is open for set.
Element at Sl25 per acre. Two years
time is allowed in which to pay for the
land. Ii Is being taken up by settlers
RAPIDLY. A census has been taken and
more than the required population found
for the organization OF a new county.
Mr.. Med takes TO Topeka the necessary
papers, and the county Is 10 be organized
at once.
To show the productiveness OF the
soil, Mr.. Mead brought Us some enor-
nous w hlJe Nesh aOuoCk potatoes. lie
says 80 bushels OF them were raised on
half acre of ground. They were raised on
an old Indian garden patch.
DIR. 1ewellen has young peach orchard
of 3 900 trees, which have grown five feet
from the seed this season.
Sedgwick will be one of the best coun-
ties in the interior of the state.
The town of Wichita will undoubtedly
be the point at which the A. I, IS ). K.
road will crOSS the Arkansas as IL IL des-
