He will be absent about six months and will do something in the line of emigration (lur- ing his absence. Telephones are becoming quite a popular contrivance In Wichita, and wires are being stretched in many direction from business linu-e- s to homes. Scleral wagon and carriage loads of ladies and lasses celebrated the fir- -t day of the mouth in a grove near the city in a happy and befitting manner. Several railroad meetings have been called for the different townships for the purpose of discussing the advisability of tubscriblng for stork in the St. Louis road. llt-ite- & Xridcrlandcr arc making a hand- some two-stor- y building out of the building in wliich their ofiice is located, corner Kin-por- and Douglas Avenues.

A number ot Chrvciinu. and Arapahoe In- dians arrived in the City csterd.iy evening. They have not made known their business, but we presume they arc after supplies. Marshal Kcarus arrested u chap the other day on general principles and in less than two hours he received a description of the man with an offer of a reward for his arrest. There w ill be a railroad meeting in the school hoii-- e in West Wichita on next Satur- day evening, commencing at 7 o'clock. Farm- ers from adjoining townships are invited to be present. , Opening of bids for grading the Wichita, Wintleld & Fort Smith road has been post- poned. Wc presume until after the annual meeting of the directors which occurs on the ICth inst. I'ndetiued jet startling rumors were afloat last week to the effect that one of Wichita's attorneys had been most signally taken in and done for by a trio of dead-beat- It can't be possible. The Council has been asked to repeal the ordinance which is in force regarding auc- tioneering wc hope it will not be repealed as it now stands is certainly the grc.tcst good to the greatest number. Clark Kincadc is making arrangements for atrip toLoadvillcsoon. He will take with him, probably, two hundred horses. Clark alwivs did have an eye to business, and wc venture that he will make a spec One is compelled in these times of patent nostrums and doctor's laws to glance at the ending of every newspaper articlrwilh more than an ordinary attractive head to see if he is not sold by "sold by all druggists " J. V. Matthews who resides on his farm about nine miles north of the city, had a tine cow killed by lightning, also a barn which he had jnt huilded of new lumber blown down, lloth accidents occurred last Thurs- day evening. Martin Hellar. the manufacturer of artifi- cial stone, has built a fence in front of his residence of the above material, which is ar- tistic in design and as solid as a cut-sto- wall. The fence is low vv ith sunk panels and a liearY cap of fine mold. II. 11. Pcckham, one of our enterprising builders, vv ho ovv ns a farm on the west side, sends to our office a stalk of wheat cut on the 20th ult., which stands two foot high, and is finely and fully headed out. He will be among the first to harvest this season. Several farmers have Informed us that much of the late sown wheat has not only recovered, but iu some instances promises better than the earlier sown Wc hope this is correct, for a large per cent, of the wheat of this county was put in very late. The Adjutant General ot the State has giv- en notice that he will furnish arms and equip ments sufficient for a cavalry company, il one is organized here. Those wishing to join, living either in the city or country will leave their namejt with J. L. Cooper, at 'Squire Mitchell's entice. Sonator Alracron Gillctt, of Kmporia, made us a pleasant call on Monday. He says that Wichita out-boo- every town in the State, and that he considers hen future assured. Work is progressing on the State Normal school building, and times arc prosperous in the Neosho valley. ti r& x ?$KS3SSrS32S?5H :t' JA" X n ffvtW "". 3- - hnml Matin. ADarrochof Hockvllle, Indiana, called Saturday and paid his respects to thcEAGLK. E. Brown, of Cowley county, called Mon- day. Mr. B. ha been living in this valley nine yean. Chas. E. Uasbrook, the versatile corre- spondent ot the Kansas City Timtt, was in the city last week. Col. J. W. Forney, of Belle Plain, spent several days in this city this week. The Col onel is looking after Sumner's interests. Mr. Joseph Wcstenbcrger, the traveling salesman or "commercial t jrist" who gets a larger salary than any other traveling agent in the West, called Friday. S. G. Butler, a man who has not been miss- ed from our streets for about seven years, and who is so highly esteemed among our business men, has gone East on a v Isit. Colqjicl Taylor returned from Washington on Saturday night. He was there during the battle of the giants. Conkling's late spcach, he says, is classed by leading politicians as one of the finest efforts ever made, rivaling the forensic efforts of 'Webster, Clay ami Calhoun. William Steele, brother of John M. Steele, and Thos. Devcreaux, both of Troy, Doni- phan ounty, arc in the city visiting. Mrs. Holtschneidcr with her little children left the city yesterday for Indianapolis to spend the summer. Dire u Ditches, or W Dit. The attention of our city authorities is called to the condition of the streets and property north of Central avenue and cast of Main. Every ward in the city excepting that portion of Fourth has been cared for, and most of the streets in the other wards not only ditched but graded. In the district alluded to there is not so much as a ditch. After heavy rains some eight or ten blocks of residences arc left like the Constable's fugitive, in urampo vp a elumput, w ith no chance for the occupants to get out except to swim out. That state of affairs is not right. Because the merchant princes, bankers and grandees generally do not liv c in that quarter it has been ignored until patifi.ee playing at v irtuc has played itself out. The city engin- eer informed us some time since that the whole trouble could be remedied at a slight cost, and wc guess the time has about come for the expenditure. A good ditch run cast along Central avenue, across the railroad, with a ditch down each street from the north into the first named would effectually drain the section alluded to. Ever since the flood of two years ago the residents of that portion of the city have possessed their souls iu patience and unmurmuringly borne the sickness ard paid the doctor bills incident to the neglect of the authorities, but as tax- payers they arc now iu earnest in demanding attention. A Custom Grist Mill. A custom flouring mill that is, a mill that grinds for toll has long been felt to be a ne- cessity at this point ; a mil! that would do no merchant work whatever, but run only the grits furnished by its customers, the grind- ing to be paiil for by the toll allowed by the statutes ofthe State. Mr. J. C. Fraker has seen the need of such a mill, and he has, $ he Inform us, succeeded in interesting per- sonal friends In such an enterprise to the ex- tent that they have agreed to furnish the necessary means to put up a small mill ccn-vinc- that it will pay full and sure returns upon the investment. Sedgwick county fann- ers have hauled their wheat and corn to the Itutler county mills so that they could obtain flour and meal from their own grain. We arc acquainted with two or three of the par- ties who arc backing up Mr. Fraker in the enterprise, and wc know they aic In earnest and have the ability. The mill will not be large, butAf sufficient capacity to do good work. Lots have been secured on the west end of Douglas avenue, between the hotel and Elephant stables, near the big bridge, and the mill will be built as soon as money, backed by Mr. Fraker's well known encrgy will do it. Wc congratulate our farmers that such a mill is about to be erected. It will not only be agood thing in the way of competi- tion, but it will be conveniently located, and they will get exactly their own. We Htr a Map. Wc have a map in our office showing the future of the railroads In this section as drawn by a disinterested and experienced railroadman. We cannot give names, but it shows the A., T. & S. F. running to Wich-ita,;- w ith a branch to Wellington and a branch to Wintield, intersecting the L., L. & G.; the extension of the St. Louis and San Francisco to Wichita, with an extension up the valley crossing the A., T. A S. V. and tapping the Iv. P.; another extension of the same road southwest striking the lower tier of counties and continuing to New Mexico ; thcMissouri Pacific extension through Anderson and Woodson counties, through Eureka and El- dorado to Wichita, with an extension through Kingman. There is an opinion aceompanj-in- g the map which goes on to say that if the Seligmau road is extended to Wichita all these roads will be accomplished facts within live years, and that Wichita will be a city of twenty thousand inhabitants, with farming lands in Sedgw ick county worth from twenty to one hundred dollars per acre. Wichita, situated as she is at the intersection of the two largest and most fertile vallcjs in the State, will continue to be the metropolis of Southvvertern Kansas. Ths Graceful Thing to Do. At the last meeting of the City Council in passing upon the order for the payment of the salaries of the city officers, Mayor Kohn stated that he would accept no compensation for his services. He donated his ear's salary to the city. In behalf of the the KaGI.K not only acknowledges the thoughtful action, but thanks Mr. Kohn. The truth is, and Mr. Kohn as a heavy taxpajer no doubt realizes it, that under the act incorporating villages and towns into cities there are thou- sands of dollars paid out in the way of salaries to positions that arc more for show than for benefit, more ornamental than useful. There is not over three cities in Kansas that could not he just as safely governed ami as judi- ciously run by ordinary township officers, as by the expensive governments at present maintained. Wichita, among others, is par- ing double the number of officers necessary. But, law is law and style is stIc, and the maintenance of either costs money, and mon- ey costs sweat, therefore, in all human prob- ability shall all continue to perspire. Still we claim Kohn did the neat thing in refusing to accept his sal an. On to Ldvill. Wichita is well represented at this modern ophir. Several of our people are there en- gaged in business and in prospecting. The Kichcy Brothers started out a team loaded with provisions for a three months jaunt on Monday. James Ulchey ha charge ot the outfit. Luck to them all, and may they come back and put up marble fronts One of our citizens, our worthy Sheriff. Major Dunning, seems to hav c struck it rich. He, in connec- tion with George Mcllville, of this city., ludgc Pcndery, Lou Goddard and Harry Gruber,of Lcav envv orth, and two other gentlemen, own the Pcndery shaft, which Is on Carbonate Hill in sight of U'advillc. The Major inform- ed us two weeks ago that the boys had struck it rich, but would not allow us to say any thing at that time iu the paper about it. Messrs. Kusscll & Furlong have an interest in the same mine. But there is no longer any ue in Irving to keep the fact a secret. Our popular Sheriff is no doubt a rich man. lie ovv ns one-eigh- th of the mine. From the Lcadv illc tally Kerille wc learn that one hun- dred aud eighty feet depth the assays showed the carbonates to be worth 447 ounce of silver to the ton. After going into this de- posit two and a half feet another assay show- ed 14.080 ounees to the ton, or $15,206.40 per ton. Governor Talor and General Bearce say that it is the greatest strike ever made in that region, and that it willbc worth millions to Leadville. Wo congratulate the Major, who doesn't rceni puffed up in the least. It is but the sentiment of all cmr people that no man. is more deserving ot such a bonanza. ThcffrciWesavs: One prat result of this discovery has been to dissipate the idea of all experts, and in fact the prevailing opinion that but one con-ta- rt vein or strata of carbonates exists, at least on Carbonate Hill. This discovery i one hundred and fiftv feet below the contact on w hlch are located the Crescent. Yankee Doodle. Carbonate and other mines. This may be the means of inducing others to sink j on down ami eventually open up bodies or ore that will eventually astonish the world. Cut Muktta. 1 Wheat No. 21 worth 7$; No. 3, 74. Corn 122 to 26. Hogs, $2.35 to 92.C5. Company A ofthe Sixteenth Infantry, a-d-cr command of Captain Morse, from y, arrived in Wichita Monday night These troop arc for a guard on the border against white settlers making a raid on the Indians and their lands. The President is in earnest. The Atchison Champion says; Richard L. Walker, of Wintield, Cowley county, recent- ly appointed Register of the L'. S. Land Office at Wichita, has assumed the duties of that position. Mr. Walker Is an excellent business man and will make an efficient and popular officer. He was a gallant soldier in the army during the war. The Augusta Gazette says : The railroad meeting at Wichita was largely attended by the farmers. AH parts of the county was represented. Fully five hundred men were present. The opposition were out In full force, yet of that vast crowd all but ten were in favor of the bonds. The vote in that coun- ty will be practically unanimous for the bonds Diimm Mills. The Diamond Mills at Hay sv iilc arc running again day and night The dam has been re- paired in good shape, and Messrs. Hays At Fager are ready to accommodate all their old customers, and new ones also. The sheriff in Kice county, to which mu- nicipality he had been remanded for trial, either through connivance or neglect, we suspect, has let the notorious Dr. Van Horn, of many wives, escape again. It is an out- rage that the smooth-tongue- d whelp should be at large. An able-bodi- man with a lung-test- and some kind of salve to cure disabled crockery ware, has had a crowd about'him on Douglas Avenue for several days. There is nothing that commands our respect so much as an honest endeavor to earn a livelihood. There arc a lot of able-bodi- men tramp- ing about the county as agents, boring peo- ple, that ought to be at some kind of honest labor. Wc would starve before patronizing such shirking tramps to the amount of nickel. Too lazy to work, and too cowardly to "tramp," they make a living by boring. Mr. William Grciffenstcin has been rather under the weather ever since the adjourn- ment of the Legislature, during the session of which he caught a cold which seemed to fasten upon him with more than ordinary He is about again and expects to be all right again in a few days Mr. Makepeace, of Augusta, called Tues- day and left an advertisement for their mill. The firm announce to the farmers that they arc prepared to make as good flour as can be found on the market, and solicit their pat- ronage asking them to give them atrial. Their mill is on Walnut at Augusta. A coterie of artists have hung out on the sidewalk on the corner of Douglas Avenue and Main street. There is a great and grow- ing demand for this class of labor. A high order of genius commands the homage of our cultivated people, who delight to encourage every evidence no matter where it sticks out. Uon. Geo. IS. Peck, United State Attor ney, write us that the Attorney General of the Government is taking steps to head off the Indian Territory raid. The paper pub- lished at the capital of the Cherokee country denounces Carpenter and his whole gang in the most vehement manner. The Carthage (Mo.) Jlanntr says the gentle- men from that city who came out to this .val- ley from that place in anticipation of the ex- tension of the St. Louis, Wichita & Western road, relumed home elated with the prov pects in this part of the State, and loud in their praises of the natural beauty and growth of this great valley. People were in town from every part of the county on Tuesday, and many from Sum- ner and Butler. Wc met but one man who acknowledged that he came in purposely to view the wonders of Cole's Circus and Me- nagerie, and that was Uncle Horace Carpen- ter. The town was a jam from the presence of several thousand people. G. O. Matthews & Co., w ill now confine themselves exclusively to the jewelry busi- ness and will increase their stock much more-addin- many novelties which has never been offered iu this market. Jewelry, of all kinds, both for ladies and gentlemen, sil- ver wear, also a full line of spectacles, nose glasses, opera glasses, at the old stand. Theodore Hinckley and hi brother, Cole- man Hinckley, and Henry Haskins, of Jeffer- son county, New York, whom wc mentioned this spring as hav ing purchased through Mr. Steele a fine, large body of land in Union township, arrived yesterday wilh their fami- lies, and will extensively imprctve their land immediately. In addition these gentlemen have a fine lot of stock on the road. Mrs. Bradt, sister of Mrs. F. N. Lewis, is reported dead. She has been failing ever since the los of her babe at her home in Newton some months since. She had been back to her old home In Detroit, Michigan, on a visit, where last Saturday her husband received a summons at Newton to come im- mediately. Mrs. Lew is leftby Sunday's train for the same destination. Seven years ago Wichita stood a small vil- lage on a level bare plain without so much as intimation of a tree or shrub hardly border- ing her streets. To-da- from the top of the Eini.E Building, she looks like a city built in a forest. No town or city in the State pre- sents a more inviting aspect in the way of trees and shrubbery. Lawrence, Emporia and Topcka Avenues are becoming magnifi- cent shady drives. Goldore, and all the craze that it involved, has vanished like smoke and no more is heard of the Cowley county gold field. This pa- per pronounced the pretended discovery a humbug at the start, basing its opinion upon the known geological formation of this State. Such a thing as gold iu a formation like ours would be as impossible as for an apple tree to v icld pumpkins. The dedication of the German M.E. church on the comer of Emporia Avenue and First street, will take place on Sunday, the 18th inst. German service iu'thc morning, con- ducted by the Presiding Elder of Kansas, or some other prominent German minister. In the afternoon at half-pa- st 2 o'clock. Senium and service iu English by Uev. J. Kirby, of this place. Love feast and communion serv- ice at night. Ministers from abroad are ex- pected. A general invitation is given. The Atchison Champion in canvassing an effort being made in that city to establish a public library pertinently and truthfully ob- serves: "Alive town can keep up a public library : a municipal corpse is not expected to. Wichita, a town only seven or eight earso!d, and which a few years ago had a reputation for eating men for breakfait, has a public library which in about a jear time has accumulated over one thousand volumes and Is rapidly growing."' One of the finest and most substantial pieces of work ever turned off in this city by any painters was the and gold leafing of the eagle, that surmounts this office. The work vva done by the firm of Grant & Ste- vens. The bird i four feet five Inches high and ov er ten feet from tip to tip. The leaf is pure gold laid on in a double layer, employ- ing a little less than $20 worth. Messrs. Grant A Stevens in ornamental and artistic work arc hard to excel and their bills are very moderate. M. Block returned Saturday night from New York and ho says, regarding the build- ing of the St. Louis Wichita railroad that it is wholly with the people along the pro- posed route to say road or no road. He is acquainted with the parties who subscribed the stock to build it, and they arc all men with large means, and If the bonds are voted the probabilities arc that the road will be completed as far as Wichita by the first of January, 1S. Give us a direct St. Louis market. We arc heartily tired of paying tribute to Kansas Citr. The new and west road will be an immense advantage to Wichita, and to the farmers of the western part of the county when it shall have been completed to the west lice, in an Item that i not brought out In the discus- sion, und that Hem i building stone. Sedg- wick county has no stone of any kind and the stone nowused it brought sixty-fiv- e mile by rail, or hauled la wagons from Butler county. The new road will cme right through the finest migncslan limestone ledges to be found anywhere, sixteen or eighteen miles east of Wichita. The stone is easy of access, easily worked, substantial, and a white cream color, and can belaid down here at less than one-ha- lf of the present prices. 'John Hafbauer, of El Paso, sends as a cots muaicatioc giving his views in opposition to the railroad ptoposition which was crowded out but will appear on the first page of our next issue Major Whitman, agent of the Poncha In dians, is In the city. He says the Government will protect the Indians in the Territory from white speculators. The Major is in favor of sending the refugee negroes into the unoccu- pied lands. Some of our merchants have been improv- ing the time by taking advantage of the rail- road war from Chicago to Kansas City, and ordered large quantities of certain lines of goods. Richards k Rogers having an eye to the main chance, stocked up their establish- ment. Among the list they bought eight tonsof the Wrisley Linen Soap, acknowl- edged to be the best manufactured. Sal it Last. The officers of the various militia compa- nies of the State met at Topeka last week, organized a regiment and elected officers. Captain Willis Brown, of Seneca, was elect- ed Colonel ; J. T. Brady, of Council Grove, Lieutenant Colonel; II. II. Jones, of Topeka, Major. The country may now be considered safe. The old dance house rows arc being At the dance house across the river Tuesday evening some parties from Walnut got into a free fight and one of them was dangerously cut with a knife. An attempt was made to burn the institution night be- fore last. Wichita has outgrown her rowdy days, and we call upon the proper authori- ties to squelch the disgrace and that speedily. To the Sunday School workers of Sedg- wick county: Your especial attention is call- ed to the approaching meeting of the District Sunday School Convention in this city on the 14th and 15th of this month. The object is to place some of the benefits, at least, of the State Convention within reach of the hund- reds of teachers and officers throughout the State who cannot attend the State Conven tion. Remember the time and make your ar rangements accordingly. Come prepared to assist in the work of the Convention and car- ry to your schools what you can its benefits. C. S.

There are several villages in Kansas essav-- ing metropolitan airs to far as attempting to support daily papers, and a pretty out they make of it. The dailies are little bits of thumb-pape- r affairs, puny in size, sickly in matter, and weaklings all together, being no credit to either the town or the publishers. A daily paper that does not con- tain fall associate dispatches and full market report by telegraph, a good, live, local page, and political editorials, together with a spice of miscellaneous reading matter sufficient to give It at least something of a literary caste, is no daily at all in the true acceptation and not worthy the name. The Kansas City eitrsal of Ccrtourrt in treating of this matter reflects our sentiments and convictions. Wichita has five papers now, wanting but one for every week day. The Jnrnal savs: The smart little city of Wichita ha some of the bet weekly newspaper in Kansas. They are edited and printed in most excellent taste and exhibit a degree of newsspaper talent in the management that must continue to win success. Their are other towns in Kansas attempting to support diminutiredailv news papers, which are not cither half so valuable or crecuiaoie to tse community or the pub- lishers as are the toers of Wichita. It is fir better for a town to have two ably conducted anu nceij- - pnoieu weeaiy newspaper than a dozen half starved dailies. It takes money to run a daily newspaper succesfully much more money than the bcslces of ordinary towns can afford. There are only three title in Kaata that can give a daily paper support: the others would be much betterrenresented by liberally patronlzin; weeklies. 1879.

    Dire u Ditches, or W Dit.The attention of our city authorities is

    called to the condition of the streets andproperty north of Central avenue and cast ofMain. Every ward in the city excepting thatportion of Fourth has been cared for, andmost of the streets in the other wards notonly ditched but graded. In the districtalluded to there is not so much as a ditch.After heavy rains some eight or ten blocksof residences arc left like the Constable'sfugitive, in urampo vp a elumput, w ith nochance for the occupants to get out except toswim out. That state of affairs is not right.Because the merchant princes, bankers andgrandees generally do not liv c in that quarterit has been ignored until patifi.ee playing atv irtuc has played itself out. The city engin-eer informed us some time since that thewhole trouble could be remedied at a slightcost, and wc guess the time has about comefor the expenditure. A good ditch run castalong Central avenue, across the railroad,with a ditch down each street from thenorth into the first named would effectuallydrain the section alluded to. Ever since theflood of two years ago the residents of thatportion of the city have possessed their soulsiu patience and unmurmuringly borne thesickness ard paid the doctor bills incident tothe neglect of the authorities, but as tax-payers they arc now iu earnest in demandingattention.

    A Custom Grist Mill.A custom flouring mill that is, a mill that

    grinds for toll has long been felt to be a ne-cessity at this point ; a mil! that would do nomerchant work whatever, but run only thegrits furnished by its customers, the grind-ing to be paiil for by the toll allowed by thestatutes ofthe State. Mr. J. C. Fraker hasseen the need of such a mill, and he has, $he Inform us, succeeded in interesting per-sonal friends In such an enterprise to the ex-tent that they have agreed to furnish thenecessary means to put up a small mill ccn-vinc-

    that it will pay full and sure returnsupon the investment. Sedgwick county fann-ers have hauled their wheat and corn to theItutler county mills so that they could obtainflour and meal from their own grain. Wearc acquainted with two or three of the par-ties who arc backing up Mr. Fraker in theenterprise, and wc know they aic In earnestand have the ability. The mill will not belarge, butAf sufficient capacity to do goodwork. Lots have been secured on the westend of Douglas avenue, between the hoteland Elephant stables, near the big bridge,and the mill will be built as soon as money,backed by Mr. Fraker's well known encrgywill do it. Wc congratulate our farmers thatsuch a mill is about to be erected. It will notonly be agood thing in the way of competi-tion, but it will be conveniently located, andthey will get exactly their own.

    We Htr a Map.Wc have a map in our office showing the

    future of the railroads In this section asdrawn by a disinterested and experiencedrailroadman. We cannot give names, butit shows the A., T. & S. F. running to Wich-ita,;- w

    ith a branch to Wellington and a branchto Wintield, intersecting the L., L. & G.; theextension of the St. Louis and San Franciscoto Wichita, with an extension up the valleycrossing the A., T. A S. V. and tapping theIv. P.; another extension of the same roadsouthwest striking the lower tier of countiesand continuing to New Mexico ; thcMissouriPacific extension through Anderson andWoodson counties, through Eureka and El-dorado to Wichita, with an extension throughKingman. There is an opinion aceompanj-in- g

    the map which goes on to say that if theSeligmau road is extended to Wichita allthese roads will be accomplished facts withinlive years, and that Wichita will be a city oftwenty thousand inhabitants, with farminglands in Sedgw ick county worth from twentyto one hundred dollars per acre. Wichita,situated as she is at the intersection of thetwo largest and most fertile vallcjs in theState, will continue to be the metropolis ofSouthvvertern Kansas.

    Ths Graceful Thing to Do.At the last meeting of the City Council in

    passing upon the order for the payment ofthe salaries of the city officers, Mayor Kohnstated that he would accept no compensationfor his services. He donated his ear's salaryto the city. In behalf of the theKaGI.K not only acknowledges the thoughtfulaction, but thanks Mr. Kohn. The truth is,and Mr. Kohn as a heavy taxpajer no doubtrealizes it, that under the act incorporatingvillages and towns into cities there are thou-sands of dollars paid out in the way of salariesto positions that arc more for show than forbenefit, more ornamental than useful. Thereis not over three cities in Kansas that couldnot he just as safely governed ami as judi-ciously run by ordinary township officers,as by the expensive governments at presentmaintained. Wichita, among others, is par-ing double the number of officers necessary.But, law is law and style is stIc, and themaintenance of either costs money, and mon-ey costs sweat, therefore, in all human prob-ability shall all continue to perspire. Still weclaim Kohn did the neat thing in refusing toaccept his sal an.

    On to Ldvill.Wichita is well represented at this modern

    ophir. Several of our people are there en-gaged in business and in prospecting. TheKichcy Brothers started out a team loadedwith provisions for a three months jaunt onMonday. James Ulchey ha charge ot theoutfit. Luck to them all, and may they comeback and put up marble fronts One of ourcitizens, our worthy Sheriff. Major Dunning,seems to hav c struck it rich. He, in connec-tion with George Mcllville, of this city.,ludgcPcndery, Lou Goddard and Harry Gruber,ofLcav envv orth, and two other gentlemen, ownthe Pcndery shaft, which Is on CarbonateHill in sight of U'advillc. The Major inform-ed us two weeks ago that the boys had struckit rich, but would not allow us to say anything at that time iu the paper about it.Messrs. Kusscll & Furlong have an interestin the same mine. But there is no longerany ue in Irving to keep the fact a secret.Our popular Sheriff is no doubt a rich man.lie ovv ns one-eigh- th of the mine. From theLcadv illc tally Kerille wc learn that one hun-dred aud eighty feet depth the assays showedthe carbonates to be worth 447 ounce ofsilver to the ton. After going into this de-posit two and a half feet another assay show-ed 14.080 ounees to the ton, or $15,206.40 perton. Governor Talor and General Bearcesay that it is the greatest strike ever made inthat region, and that it willbc worth millionsto Leadville. Wo congratulate the Major,who doesn't rceni puffed up in the least. Itis but the sentiment of all cmr people that noman. is more deserving ot such a bonanza.ThcffrciWesavs:

    One prat result of this discovery has beento dissipate the idea of all experts, and infact the prevailing opinion that but one con-ta- rt

    vein or strata of carbonates exists, atleast on Carbonate Hill. This discovery ione hundred and fiftv feet below the contacton w hlch are located the Crescent. YankeeDoodle. Carbonate and other mines. Thismay be the means of inducing others to sink jon down ami eventually open up bodies orore that will eventually astonish the world.

    Seven years ago Wichita stood a small vil-lage on a level bare plain without so much asintimation of a tree or shrub hardly border-ing her streets. To-da- from the top of theEini.E Building, she looks like a city built ina forest. No town or city in the State pre-sents a more inviting aspect in the way oftrees and shrubbery. Lawrence, Emporiaand Topcka Avenues are becoming magnifi-cent shady drives.

    Goldore, and all the craze that it involved,has vanished like smoke and no more is heardof the Cowley county gold field.

    The Atchison Champion in canvassing aneffort being made in that city to establish apublic library pertinently and truthfully ob-serves: "Alive town can keep up a publiclibrary : a municipal corpse is not expectedto. Wichita, a town only seven or eight

    One of the finest and most substantial piecesof work ever turned off in this city by anypainters was the and gold leafing ofthe eagle, that surmounts this office.

The leaf ispure gold laid on in a double layer, employ-ing a little less than $20 worth. Messrs.Grant A Stevens in ornamental and artisticwork arc hard to excel and their bills arevery moderate.

    M. Block returned Saturday night fromNew York and ho says, regarding the build-ing of the St. Louis Wichita railroad thatit is wholly with the people along the pro-posed route to say road or no road. He isacquainted with the parties who subscribedthe stock to build it, and they arc all menwith large means, and If the bonds are votedthe probabilities arc that the road will becompleted as far as Wichita by the first ofJanuary, 1S. Give us a direct St. Louismarket. We arc heartily tired of payingtribute to Kansas Citr.

The stone is easy ofaccess, easily worked, substantial, and awhite cream color, and can belaid down hereat less than one-ha- lf of the present prices.

    Some of our merchants have been improv-ing the time by taking advantage of the rail-road war from Chicago to Kansas City, andordered large quantities of certain lines ofgoods.

    Staiiblo Daily Papr Talk.There are several villages in Kansas essav--

    ing metropolitan airs to far as attempting tosupport daily papers, and a pretty out theymake of it. The dailies are littlebits of thumb-pape- r affairs, puny in size,sickly in matter, and weaklings all together,being no credit to either the town or thepublishers. A daily paper that does not con-tain fall associate dispatches and full marketreport by telegraph, a good, live, local page,and political editorials, together with a spiceof miscellaneous reading matter sufficient togive It at least something of a literary caste,is no daily at all in the true acceptation andnot worthy the name. The Kansas City

    eitrsal of Ccrtourrt in treating of this matterreflects our sentiments and convictions.Wichita has five papers now, wanting butone for every week day. The Jnrnal savs:

    The smart little city of Wichita ha some ofthe bet weekly newspaper in Kansas. Theyare edited and printed in most excellent tasteand exhibit a degree of newsspaper talent inthe management that must continue to winsuccess. Their are other towns in Kansasattempting to support diminutiredailv newspapers, which are not cither half so valuableor crecuiaoie to tse community or the pub-lishers as are the toers of Wichita. It is firbetter for a town to have two ably conductedanu nceij- - pnoieu weeaiy newspaper than adozen half starved dailies. It takes money torun a daily newspaper succesfully muchmore money than the bcslces of ordinarytowns can afford.
