Another Victim of the Kan City Storm. As is known to many of our local readers, Charles Stecnrod, son of ex-Commissioner Steenrod, was in the Kansas City court houso when it fell during the late storm. He was connected with a real estate office, and was at the time of the awful calamity making up an abstract of deeds. His name did not appear in the list of hurt, and it was two days we believe, before his father was telegraphed for, who drove in from his homo at Colwich and took tho train tho same evening for, Kansas City. Mrs. Steen rod came into the city, but so encouraging was tho news from both father and son that she did not go down, as it was thought that Charley would be up in two or three days. Day before yesterday, however, sho re ceived a telegram from the husband an nouncing tho fact that the doctors had de cided that her boy was fatally injured in ternally. The mother and Mrs. Heizerman took the next train, but before they reached tho bed side of tho suffering boy, his spirit had taken its flight. A dispatch announced that the remains would bo put on the next train, and that they would be taken out near his old home and buried in the Eld ridge cemetery this morning at 9 o'clock. He had, we believe, just gained his majority. Charley Steenrod Is dead. All that remains of the bright youth who went out from among us a few brief weeks since, his breast pulsating with the hopes and vigor of youth ful manhood, will return to his boyhood's home, today, and to his grave. Like a sum mer rose, christened with tho dew of a moth er's love in life's white morning.ho put forth, but there is only returned to us tho ashes of many dreams, wet with tears wrung from stricken hearts. Tho possibilities of tho fu ture and all that ho would have wrought, are now less than the shaddows which shall lightly kiss the spot where he must gently sleep, less than the idle wind that will whisper above him or shriek his requium among the dead grasses when the summer is dono and the birds havo fled. Wo can offer no word which would tend to lessen tho dull acha of tho two hearts which but such a few years since, with such a world of tenderness and trust clapped in their arms, tbsir first born, that boy, whoso every look and action, of all the swift flying years now flash up from neglected pages of the memory only to lighten up others and by contrast make tho heart more siek. We know your boy, and something of his am bitious warm impulses and hopeful nature, but you who will today watch the sods of tho valley as they hide his loved form for ever, know1 him closer, better, then wherc lore any mere words of ourc. Charley no doubt lives and sees and comprehend bet ter now than even cages: "How must a spirit, late escaped from earth, Tho truth of things new blizing in its eye. Look back, astonished on tho was of men, Whoso lives' wholo drift is to forget their gracs." AN2ATSURPRISfc. Somo score or moro of friends engaged in Sabbath school work in the Firi Presbyter ian church, under M. L. Garvcr, as superin tendent, formed a conspiracy with Mrs. Garver and perpetrated a complete and hsp py birthday surprise upon him. Monday evening. And whilo It celebrated his 42nd birth anniversary, tho good will expressed in substantial tokens of regards, in the wiy of a fine essay willow wicket rjekor by hi. Sabbath school teachers, and a handsome volume of Coolidge's poems, by Miss Chat field, school organUt, together with the ele gant ropsst furnished by Mrs. Garver, his countenance brightened and limbs nimbled, tilladecado of jeara seemed moicd from his age. Tho evening was most cnjo ably spent, with a unanimous resolution to return Juno 1st for plums. By order of committee on entertainment. SURPRISE PARTY. Mr. and Mrs. J.M.Allen were tendered an agreeable surprise- last night by a number of their friends. Tho occasion was tho tenth anniversary of their marriago. The affair was a total surprisa to Mr. and Mrs. Allen but they soon comprehended the situation and wero equal to the occasion, entertaining all present in their accustomed clever way. Tho evening was very pleasantly spent and was long to be remembered by all present. THEM STOCK YARDS. A movement was inaugurated about a year ago for a union stock yards. A com pany was formed and a charter taken out, but there tho matter rested. Tho writer did not havo much faith in the practibiltty of the scheme at the time, but thinks tho timo for carrying tho idea to a suc cessful conclusion is about at hand. When tho proposed new railroads aro built a stock yard could not only be made a succcis but would benefit tho city and all Southwestern Kansas very materially. There is scarcely a day that there aro not cue or more horse dealers lrom points west in the city looking for stock and there are buyers of cattle, hogs and sheep from east ern points, here all tho time, llegulsr stock jarJs would materially facilitate matters, where buyers and sellers could meet. When tho new roads aro built wo will havo a sys tem of railroads ramifying into all tho south west, so that those who havo stock for sale can ship them here and tbo ostorn buy ers can coma to the stock yards and get what they want without staying hero a week to gather up a car load from the country. Stockyards, too, draw packing houses and promote the raising of beef cattle, which is at all tinv? profitable. Another important point would be the great numbers of people they would draw hero daily and tho money that would change hands. Xo other schemo that has been talked of for tbo benefit of the city in general, is less expensive nor cair of attainment, and there is no doubt that it is a scheme our leading man should examine minutely. PLAN MATURING. An Eaolk reporter called last evening at the office of tho water works and found Col. B. It. Eggleston maturing a plun for sewer aging the city. He favored the news gath erer with a short explanation of his solution of this much mooted question. He seems to think thai tbo automatic flushing system is the one that by all means should be adopted in this city. Whenever tho city Is ready he asserts he will bo pre pared to make a proposition and prove to all that he has struck the nail on tho head at last. IJe favors laying the males in the alleys and allowing no surface drainage to enter the pipe. The urfaco drainage he thinks should be carried on in tbo manner prescribed in the franchise granted the water company. ANOTHER BIO SALE The sale of tho Kennedy house and the lots adjoining, which was hinted at in the Eaglx yesterday morning as likely to be consumated, was closed last evening by P. V. Healy to Mr. A. Knight, of St, Louis the price paid being $12,000. Mr. Knight is demonstrating his faith in the city by large investments in real estate. K. OF P. MINSTRELS. The K. of P. minstrels appeared last nurht before a clever house, and did not soil the enviable reputation they won on the prev- ions evening. The many telling points were fully appreciated, as was testified by 1 the frequent encores. It is safe to say that our people are justly pround of the theatri cal ability displayed by the K. of P. min strels. The second Dynamo for Hill's electric plant arrived yesterday. It is similar to the first with a capacity to keep thirty lights, with twe thousand candle power esven. gomr- wrn soon oe rcauy to tha light msVHng tort of electricity- PRESSED BRICK EOOM. , I Another invaluable itrpetus for making; Wichita continue to grow and be- the city of the near future it threatens to be is now on deck. It is the discovery of first-class clay for making pressed brick. The rem is about three feet thick and is found in West Wich ita on the land of Mr. F. G. Smyth. For somo time Mr. Smyth has been cognizant of the fact that tho vein of clay was present at that place. At soon as he discovered it he began to take measures to test the value of the same. Specimens were sent to many of the cities of the cast for the purposo of being subjected to the investigation of the chemists and companies engegedin the making of pressed brick. He was takinz the greatest care to gain the most valuable information on the subject and in all cases heard from has received encourag ing report-. A gentleman is now here from the east, who is connected with a company engaged in the making of pressed brick. He is tak ing in the lay of tho land with an eye to business. As yet it has not been decided what com pany will work the new valuable vein but it is among the certain things that the manu factory of pressed brick will be numbered among the enterprises of Wichita in tho near future. On breaking the news con cerning the prospect for this new enterprise to a prominent business man yesterday he immediately became enthusiastic on the subject. He considered that building man ufactories of any kind was fortifying the weak sido of our city, if perchance it has such a defect. It was his opinion that our business mjc should do all in their power to encourage manufactories or all tanas that have a chance to u.eet with success. THE BUSBEE MATTER. To the Editor or the Easle. The facts in the case of the P. Busbeo matter, which appeared in your paper yes terday aro as folloas: As given us by Mr. A. Popkiss, who knows, bo says, I found Mr. Busboc at Keeco slatidu on tho Fl Scott road, at a friends house, in a state of mind bordering on insanity. His strango actions and unexplainable conduct I account for by the action on hb mind of the disease he has been suffering with, the Yellow Jaundice. Despondency took possession of him, and misery from somo imagined causes was star ing him in the face continually. I do not think it proper to condemn him or say any thing that would bring reproach upon his family and friends for none stand higher than they do where they aro better known than in Wichita. If any have a right to complain it should be us for no others have suffered from his action". A. Popkiss. STOCK RAISINO. In consequence of the failure, to a large cxent, of the whest crop in this soction this j ear, and 1 ist, tho question of thu best means of obtaining tbo best results in farming is pcrtineiit. Tho first means which must in evitably suggest iUslf to tny one of ordinary capacity for reflection is moro attention to thorai-ingof live stock. This will always bo & sure crop, and there is always a ready sa'o at remunerative prices. Nutritious grass is nlnays an abundant crop in Kansas, and sufficient progress has already been made to judco of tho results in raising both caf.lo and horses. In hogs, owing to the prevalence of tho hog cholera for, the last two J ears, there is les3 certainty. In solving the problem of raising that pro duct wich is the most certain and which commands tho readiest sale at the best prices, tho many adv.tntge afforded by the eh-o attention to the raii-ing of horses, is worthy of attention. There is hardly a farmtr in Sedgwick county who could not with comparitivuty little outlay and trouble, raise four colts every year for sale. A good general purpose colt will sell readily at the ago of three yeirs for $150 to Silo, and it is needless to add thai there is no other product of the farm thnt will yield abetter profit on the cost. When wo Uko tbo fact in account that tho horse and mulo dealers of this city bring in on ni avera;o threo cars of horses per week, which they dispose of at profits that soon mako thoni rich it will readily be seen that all that can bo raised lor years to come will meet a rctdy sale. The demand for fino carri igo horses too is beginning to bo quite marked and as our people continue to trrow in we iltb, tho demand will be greater. Harry Hill has frequently called tho writers attention to tho difficulty of sup plying tho demand for fino drivers and the advantages of raising them. Corn and gras arc nearly alwavs n good crop and tho cost of building comfortable- stiblij for winter ing the c ilU in would be but trifling. A PLEASANT AFFAIR. Mr. William Garrison, who was lately married to Mis Gardner, gave quite a num ber of his friends a pleasant reception last Monday niLt. Tho reception was given at tho former residence uf tha bride, on West Dougla3 avenue. Dr. Turner's band was engaged for the occasion, and a regular good timo was the unaniciou' verdict of all present. -Mr. Garrison says the only thing ho has to regret is that ono keg depirted for the cat before it was emptied, while the other two met their intended fate. THE rREE DIVE. Dr. J. D. Purdoy proposes to open his swlmmini: pool next inday nisnt. It is safe to predict that many of the boys will avail themselves of an opportunity for a free dive. The buildjig around tha pjl by the time of tho opening will be completed. The de partment for turkish baths will not by that time bo completed. It will follow however, c!oe ia tho procet-:on. The lajingof tho brick was commenced yesterday. All the plumbiDg is completed and everything is fas', assuming shape. THAT DITCH NUISANCE. Tho Topeka Avenuo ditch nuisance is on tap again. The council promised to put in a sewer pipe provided the owners of prop erty on the street would give somo $1,200 and O. C D.iisy the fia.ou3 rustler, was out with a petition collecting and made pretty good headway, so the trouble probably will soon be adjusted. If it don't Daisy declares he will do no more rustling forthecity It is a greit shame that this ditch has not been fixeJ up before becau-e it is a great nuisance and decreases the value of property on that street and is so naucious that per sons are said to have left the Manhattan on account of the smell. The dwellers along the street are very properly indignant, WONT RESPOND To the ilnyt-r and City Council The Deluge Uose company desire to no- tur the mavor and council, and also the citv of Wichita, that on and after the 25th instant they will sot respond to the call of the arc alarm. Uhas. uokxks, Foreman. A. . Edwards, Secretary. In explanation of the above, the boys said that the city had not treated them right, in many respects, the particulars of which a committee wul make known to the council. On account of their grievance they withdraw from doty if the trouble is not mended. Probably the council will fix it up. NEW FIRM Messrs. IL Fraack and H. T. Camien have entered into a copartnership for the purpose of carrying on a merchant Uiloricj busi ness under the firm name of Frank St Camien. Their place of business will be in the Farley block, on Douglas avenue, and they propose to carry as fine a stock as any similar estab lishment in tha citv. Messrs. KHleea and Stocking?, of the firm of Killeen & Steckinger left yesterday fnr Winp 1 wsr thv VMnAtn vtntil 111 j 0 the week. attesdinr to some matter. THE Nsw Railroads. There is considerable discussion now re garding the benefits that are likely to result to the farmers of this county from the building of the Bock Island railroad and the other roads included in the proposition to rote aid 03 the 8th of next month. A little investigation in regard to the relative rates of transportation from points in Min nesota to Chicago and from point in Kan sas to the same city may serve as a pointer in this matter. For instance, the average cost of transpor tation from points in Minnesota to Chicago is about 11 cents for wheat, while the aver age from Kansas points to the same market is about 25 cants. This difference is not due so much to the difference of distance in miles, as it is to the presence of two great competing trunk lines from the former state to Chicago, while in Kansas we have no through line to Chicago. The difference of transporting a bushel of wheat from Minnesota to Chicago and from Kansas to Chicago is about eleven cents. Without taking the amount of taxes these roads will pay into the county into the count, it will be readily seen that the build' ing of independent trunk lines from this county to Chicago, which is the grain mar ket of the west, will result in greatly in creased profits to the farmer, and when the transportation ef live stock is trken into the count the gain will be doubled. Aside from these considerations, the building of a large city here, with thousands of consumers, will create a valuable home market for the product of the farm, and in a dozen other ways the farmers' profits will be increased and his land, in the same proportion, en hanced in value. BRICK, BRICK! Brick, brick! is all tho cry just now, and several buildings are at a stand still for lack of brick. The Kansas Furniture company's building and Davidson Ss Throckmorton's building; also some on Main street are wait ing fur brick, and people who want brick for flues or any other purposo can't get, them. We have four brkk yards, but they can't half supply the demand. In fact the way buildings aro goin? up in this city it would take a dozen yards to keep up tho supply. ANNOUNCEMENTS, Elizabeth Rebecca Degree Lodge Xo. 70 will hold its regular meeting at Odd Fel low's hall Wednesdsy evening. May 19th. A full attendenco of member and those wishing to receive tho order is desired. Bertha C. Dauouerty, Secretary. Special conclave of ML Olivet command cry will bo holden this Wednesday evening, May 19, for work. All Sir Knights cordi ally requested to ba present. By order of tho E. C. F. W. Oliver, Recorder. Wichita, Kan., May 17, 1830. To the Kuttor of the Eagle: Please allow mo a short spaco in the col umns of ycur paper to offer a few remarks to the public in connection with the services held at the new Presbyterian church Sun day, which was not a dedicatory sarvice, but simply an oponicg of the door of tho church for public worship. Tho citizens of the West Side showed their appreciation uf such a placo by their attendance, and a goodly number from tho East Side wore present also. Remarks, or rather comments wero made by Rev. Brown, liewitt, Father Lawrence and others upon the clgance and neatness of the church and the long-felt need of such a place of public worship, and more especially the organization of a Sabbath school on this side, which were listened to with marked at tention. In their enthusiasm over tho now church they either forgot to mention that there al ready existed a flourishing Methodist Sab bath school of about 100 scholars, or else they simply ignored the fact becauso it was hold in tho old school houso. To the strangers present it would seem that there had been no oranizod Sabbath school here sinco 1873 and that as yet we were only partially civilized, that wo hardly know enough to know when the Lord's Day came, unable to detect right from wrong and liablo to take possession of any or everything that might fall into our hands. Let me say to.you strangers that such is not the case. For tho past threo yean we have been connected with the Haycsvillo circuit, and during which time religious services havo been held hore once and twice a week. Our Sunday school was organized about four years ago with Mr. McKec, Mr. Ogden and Mrs. Hunter as officers, and to whose untiring efforts in tho Sunday school cause we ewo a debt of gratitude for tbo estab lishment and the building up of a flourish ing Sunday school. Wo rejoice with tho members of tho new church and when called upon will lend onr feeble aid. Come stranger, como all, and let us give honor to whom honor is due. Respectfully, J. F. McCo.vxell. POLICE COURT Abe Perkins was drunk and dropped 55. Edward Everitt, for vagrancy, put up (12, and there's tho rub again. How on earth can a vag. pay such a fine. W.

By spec ial request the name of the rarty is not given and further information withheld for the present, Anthony Republican: The new train on the Sunflower, which arrives here at 9,30 a. m. enables the citizens of Anthony to get tbe Wichita Daily Eagle tbo morning of publication almost as soon as though It were published in our town. We conld cot ask for better train service than we are now having. The teachers of the Second ward were literally crowned with roses by their pupils yesterday afternoon. It began in Miss Xeely'si room in a shower of roses imme diately after roll call, and from there it spread quickly through all the rooms and became a high carnival which neither teach ers nor scholars will soon forget. Mr. A. Suter, whu got tired farming in Sumner county and is now a merchant and postmaster at Helvetia, Meade county, called last night He says a man was shot cut thsre the other day for jumping a claim. Mr. SuUr is here purchasing goods. He raised Standardbearer's first colt, which L. W. Dilman now drives. He is a fine horse. On account of Terna Busbee's physical condition and out of consideration for his family and friends we decline to give further particulars of the unfortunate fellows fooUsh doing. Mr. Edward Vail who graduated with Busbee at AnapolU said if he had came to him for $500 or $600 he could have it He got as far as Greenwich night before last and was taken to the house ofa friend at Beece and Mr. Popkess sent for.
