CITY AND CQUNTY NEWS.

AN IMPOETANT ARRANQEMEirr.

Interesting to the Wheat Growers of Sedgwickand Sumner Counties.

I'ollovv Ing the suggestion c! tbc K igle lastweek, that complaints were being made bywheat marketers as to prices, and that ad-

vantage was often taken by buyers and ship-pers, Mr. C. 1 Morse, General Superinten-dent ol the Atchison, Topcka & Santa Ke rail-

road, writes u that he appreciates thethat all patties interested sbou'd

be familiar with tho market, and thai howould iberelorc each day furnish us with therjports ol Kansas City aud St. Louis prices..Now, as the freight is fixed by bushel andcarload, it will be a very Jsimple matter loreach pcrsou bavins wheat to tell to know

just what margin Is being deducted forco't oihandling and cleaning by the elevators. Weunderstand Irom patties who ought to begood judges that five cents per bushel forhandling, nsklarlc., Is about a fair price tobuer and seller. In a i cry short time nowUrge amounts ol vvheat will be olfering uponour streets by vvhleli time we will hare dailyposted on our bulletin board the prices at St.Louis and Kansas City. This wo will do lorthe Eagle's many fanner friends withpleasure.

Tepefca Avenue After All.

Last week wc gave a faint echo of com-

plaint of property owners against the mannerof the implement made by the city, in thematter ol grading and draining. Sinco thatlima vve have taken occasion to cxamino thework in person, aud we iuut say we thinktbcjobairy good one, in fact, first rate.The street, as Improved, is tho finest In thecity, and for a mile north ol Donghis I avenue,will make one of the finest drives in this sec-

tion. The only po-lb- lo damage threatenedis the shade tree. The ditches were cut uptoo close to the sldenalt, ruajbe. Anjhovv,the street U smooth, iilctly rounded up. andall the residences, tor several blocks, left justenough elevated to add to both their beautyand comlort.

The Kansas State Hoard ot Agriculture,through Secretary Gray, sends out this weekIts quarterly report for the months ;of April,May and June. In many respects it is themost complete summary yet issued. Theconditions ofcrops and farm animils for eachcouuty in the State arc given, as also thefruit prospect, tho per cent, and averageyield of wheat, rye, flax, barley, oats andfruil, and the comparalh c average with 1873and 1S7C. ItaUo contains diagrams, show-ing Increase and decrease of different ani-mals for a series of year, maps show ing rainbelts and illustrations, ol nine kind or apples,viz: the Carolina Kcd June, Tally Harvest,Fall Pippins, Maiden's llluh, Itamho, Wine-sa- p,

Ben Dav J, Jennet and Jona-than. Scdgnlck county, for a six-ye- old,ranks high in all particulars, and no diseaseamong her domestic animals or fowls, worthnoticing. The report is excellent and inter-esting in all particulars.

List Tuesday evening a week, during athunder ahoncr, a little boy, sou of Mr. Hushliving about sixteen milts northeast or Wich-ita, while hcrdins cattle was struck by light-ning. The fluid tore the top oi Lis hat com-

pletely off, blistered his head, burning hisbact terribly, tearing Lis coat open and kill-ing intantly the ponv .upon which he wasseated, also a heifer standing some thirtyfeet distant, but, wonderful to relate, tho boywas not killed. J)r. Itentz, of this city, wassummoned, who Informs us that tho last heheard the boy was doing as well as could beexpected, and that no lasting serious injurywould be sustained. For tome timo the boylay stunned aud unconscious.

Caldwell .t Davidson's new and handsometwo-stor- y brick business house, adjoining theFarmers' A Merchants Bank building, is rap-id! approaching completion. It is ono ol thobest business houses j et put up in Wichitafine in outward appearaueo an 1 commodiousand convenient lu its arrangement'. Mr.Caldwell, no understand, will occupy tholower ttoiy with an exclusively wholesaleand retail ueenswarc and glanare estab-lishment. Much of his stock, which will belarge, vv 111 bo imported, and he expects to ri- -

al the houses of this line in Kansas City andSt. Louis as to prices aud completeness ofstock.

Kansas' veteran editor, Sol Miller, ol theKansas Chief, last week observes, In thecourse of some remarks touching the anxietyshown by the average Democratic paper overthe cost ol county printing, "that it Is not somuch the amount paid so much as to whompaid." For once Mr. Miller must be mis-

taken. We always thought that such attackswire i ure disinterested patriotism inaugu-rated solely in the interest or the tax-pay- er

and lor the purpose of squelching fraud antcoiruption. Wo can't believe otherwise.

The Walnut Valley Timet says a man fromSedgwick county was overhauled in town thefirst of the week for stealing a horse. Itseems the fellow had taken the hoise fromtome of his own relative, hitched it to a bug-gy

1

aud lit out. His friends came up with himhero, took the horse and buggy, but refusedto prosecute the thief. They partedcompaayon the street, the meek-eye- d horse thief look-ing very dolelul till his captors got out oltown, when he immediately braced up, tooka drink of vvhlky, and was ready for anoth-er adventure.

We Were Not Mistaken.

Nine out ol ten of the reports lrom the fieldswhere the grain has been threshed in thiscount-- , concur in ihe fact that wheat is yield-ing from ten to thirty per cent. larger thanwas anticipated at ban est time. Add ou an-

other one hundred thousand bushels lorSedgwick count v.

The family or the late J. C. Harvey are un-

der grateful obligations to their many friends asin and near Wichita for their kindness duriugthe many weeks ol Mr Harvey's illness. Es-

pecially do they wish to acknowledge thekindness of Rev. Mr. Harsen, ol the Presby-terian Church ol this city, lor his presenceand kindly works at the funeral on Saturday iuevening last; also to his estimable wife andMr. Russell for the music given on that sado ccasiou.

PI

One of Wichita's Unforinnatei.

Around the lives of the poor, frail slaves ofman's baser passions there often cluster ro-

mances of tho purest sentiment. Of thevast throng known as the "women ot thetown," from her who sweeps by in mid-da- y,

brilliant with costly jewels and robed Inthe richest texture to the trem-

bling wreck that creeps from an alley In thedarkness or the night, or the brazen, bloatedcourtesan-keepe- r, each has locked up in herown bo.-o- m a heart's history,the touching Bad-

ness or which often surpasses tho written trag-edy of books. Last week vvewcre made acquainted with a leal of the life of one ot theseunfortunates the recital or which would provetoo dark forpublic prints. "Lizzio May," forextreme dissolute habits, has been arrestedaud fined, often, ol late. Having nothingwith which to pay her lino the last time thovvasbrougntupshe was, almost in a nudestate, thrust Into the unclean, close rat-hol- e

known as the city cooler. A prominent gentlcman ot this city, a man holding a high offi-

cial becoming acquainted with thedetails of the matter, determined In his ownow n mind to make the city scon.li for tho inhu-manity or its officers, ii what be heard wastrue. With that praiseworthy purpose invicvr.be visited the lonely occupant ol the

pen. From his lips wc heardthe story alluded to. So low down, so utter-ly lost to all morality, so entirely destitute ofevery sensed womanly letllug had she become, that not until he had talked to her torthree hours in the kindliest and most persuasive manner could she be Induced to reasonand reflect. Our readers can imagiuo his sur-prise upon discovering in the poor, dissolute,half-nud- o creature, a woman nf education,possessing a mind richly stored with classicpoetry, ancient history aud modern literature,a being who was loved aud caressed in the re-

fined home oi her girlhood, and who after-ward, in mature womanhood, wncu revcreshad come, became a teacher lu a high-gra-

school. When once the ice was broken, thephilanthropic gentleman had comparativelyan easy time to persuade her to abandon theterrible life she was leading, the miserabledepths or which were horrible, too much soto even hint at. Procuring her clothes,vvhichfrom abject pov erty she had been unable tojet from the laundry, a railroad ticket, a littlemoney, aud a letter of introduction to theMatron, the unfortunate creature was sent tothe Home at Leavenworth, from which it ishoped she may come a saved woman, to blessher benefactor and to cheer her father's de-

clining j cars, lor she is yet scarce tvventv-liv- e

and has a father living, whose name and resi-

dence she gave.

The St. Louis Narrow-Gaug- e.

The or tho executive com-

mittee appointed by tho Narrow-Gaug- e Riil-roa- d

Convention at St, Louis, during tho lateconvention, which was charged with the dutyol issuing an address, have discharged thatduty. The address we find in the 'Jiade Jour-nal and is very lengthy. It contains statistics ofcomparing the cost or construction and operating narrow and broad gauge road, and rec-

ommends that St. Louis putan engineer corps is

in the field at once to survey one or moreroutes to the western border ol State. Threemillions or dollars is the sum stated as the cotor three hundred miles or road; and of thisamount St. Louis is asked to subscribe onemillion, and the people on the route agreedupon one million, to be paid in cash, or mate-rial and work, at cash such subscribers tohave the option of receiving stock or trans-portation

J.certificates, redeemable in live equal

annual installments, without interest. Theother million is to be raided bv the sale ofbonds, which some believe can be sold at par.lhat rclcrs to that portion or the line In Mis-

souri. The abov c paper obscrv cs that "whilethe times arc indeed out ol joint, and greatentciprlscs are retarded owing to a lack ofmeans, wo have reason to believe that thebusiness men ol this city will respond to thesuggestions or the committee, at least so far

to raise the money to complete the surv e) s.The counties through which the road passesare expected to Ihear their proportion of theexpense ol this enterprise, which is fully setforth in the report. II a beginning is once Itmade wc have no fears but that the road will

A Little Episode of Lift in Wichita,

The Kansas City Timet, in its sensationalmanner, gives the details of an episode, theprincipal parties to which, with one excep-tion, arc located In Wichita. A Mr. JohnGarrett, a sober, respectable sort ol a man,mho lives in that city, is represented as hav-

ing, some twenty years ago, deserted bis wifein Virginia and left for parts unknown. Tbcmother, in her wanderings with her children,brought up In Wichita. She bad successfullyraled a family ol children left to her. Foryears she had thought her husband dead, butlearning of a man by that name bolrg in Kan-

sas City, she sent her son up to investigate,which investigation rciultod In the identifica-tion of tho lost husband aud father. It ap-

pears that Garrett had saved some moneywhich was In bank. His son made demandsin behalf ol his mother for one-ha- lf of bispossession to cover tnc cost and expense olrearing. A refusal was followed by an at-

tempt to pounce on llic money in the bank,but the old man was a little ahead ot his sonaud the lawyers. Leading lawyers have beenretained upon both sides and the case prom-ises to be au interesting one. There is a fam-

Narrow Gust Pcetry.

During the lato Narrow Gauge Conventionat St. Louis, the impression seemed to prevailthat it was an effort of that city to gobble thecountry. Thereupon Eugene Field of theJournal felicitously let himself out in the fol-

The clerk said, "whence, sir. do you come 5""I Hvp in Kansas, when to hum ;I'm here about this narrcr-gaUg-

Then Mr. Smith a meal did cat.And sauntered out upon the street,And men of every class and ageHe tackled 'bout the narrow-gaug- e.

The McCracken Prnit Ftra.

Wo visited the McCrackon fruit iann lastSaturday evening and spent an hour wander-

The larmIs In Lincoln township, about fourteen milesfrom" the city, situated on tho high rollingprairie, and can be seen Irom a great distancefrom any direction. It contains a quartersection, one hundred and twenty acres ofwhich is set to trees and small fruits. Aboutfifty-fo- thousaud lruit .trees; and a finer,handsomer looking lot of trees never grew.

Of this number twenty thousaud were in

bloom last spring, and the most of them arenow full of fruit and will yield somethingnear lour thousand bushels ol fruit, mostlypeaches. Tho small l'uits, cherries, etc., areplanted between the long rows of trees andeach, In their season, bring largo returns,n"et-tin- g

a handsomo profit. For instance, hisraspberry vines produced live hundrednnarts. He is se nir liltv dollars worm oi

blackberries a week. For a farm ten or iif-t-

years old the abov o facts would hardly

be worthy of montion, but this firm a littlemore than four years ago was a piece or wild

prairie, covered with wild grass, a fact whichseems almost incredible. It is an example ofthe capacity o! our valley and what a man olenergy and pluck can accomplish. The farmis not only J ielding a large amount ol lruit,but it is planted in corn, which promises alarge crop. He also has a large quantity ol

choice How ere. The entire farm is surround-ed by a hedge sulhcieut to turn stock. There

is also a blacksmith shop, post office and

store located on the larm. There is quite a

large society of United Presbyterians in theimmediate neighborhood who will soon buildwimn-h- . Unon the whole, we believe the

assertion that a nicer and liner rultiv ated

larm cannot be found in the Arkansas Vallev

than the McCracken lruit larm.

Obituary.

At his late residence, near Wichita, JohnCharter Harvey, aged filty-eig- yoars, lourmonths and four days,

The deceased was born in Kentucky, on

thelGthday ol March, 1810. In 1S50 ho

moved with his family to Illinois, and iromthence remov cd to Kansas In the fall ol 1S73.

The day of his death was tho thirty-sixt- h an-ui- v

ersary of his marriage with his bereavedcompanion who survives him. Three sons

and three daughters were given to the de-

parted, who were all assembled at the luncralservices ou Saturday alternoou. This is thefirst death, the first dark shadow that has falleu upon this hitherto happj household. Fora period of forty jears he was an active mem

ber in the Regular Baptist Church. His be-

lief w as more activ e than demonstrate e. Hemnii!si7iil the tiractico ol the doctrines of

Christianity more than tho simple prolessiou

of them. He was a man of strict integrity inall his business transactions. He was knownas a friend to the poor and as ever ready to

help those iu distress, and, without doubt.In his last lingering sickness, ho cs.perinced

the promise or tho Psalmest: "Blesed is he

that cousidereth the poor; the Lord will de-

liver him in lime or trouble. The Lord will

preserve him and keep him alive; and he

shall be blessed upon earth. The Lord will

strengthen him on the bed ol languishing.

Thou wilt make all his bed in bis sickness."He was a man whose fine traits ol charactercould not be discerned on a short acquaint-

ance, but those who knew him best learnedtn invn and resnect him most. He had a

most ardent affection ror tho members or hisfamily, indeed, his mind was almost;wrapped

up in their welfare. For many jears, even

almost from childhood, be has been an in-

valid. He never expected to reach the age

he attained. In the bitter school of . affliction

he learned to acquire a remarkable degree ol

patience. During his last painlul and linger-

ing illness of the last two months he was

heard to utter scarcely a word of complaint.

In his conscious moments, during his last ill-

ness, he was almost constantly engaged In

prayer, and when the dread moment came he

who had suflercd so much and so long passedaway very gradually and without a struggle.His favorite hymn wa :

"Brothers, while we sojourn here.Fight we must, but should not lear;Foes wc hav e, but e'en a friend,One that loves us to the cud;Forward then, with courage go;Long vve shall not dwell below;soon thojovful news will come,'Child, j our Father calls, come home 1' "
