HUSDOCK, Editor. WEDNESDAY MORNING. JULY 7. THE OKLAHOMA BUSINESS- To th Editor or the Eazle. , Kixomax, Kan., Julv 5th, 1886.- Wc fccc In vours of today the contem plated raid by boomers to the Okla homa, how, I will write you of Major Sumner, commander of Ft. Reno, ana also in charge of Oklahoma. Major Sumner is a eou of old Colonel Sum ner, of war fame, and is considered a "holy terror." Iu that lower country h eis feared and hated by all alike, In dians and whites, soldiers and citizens, and he means to keep cattlemen and boomers out and he knows just how to do it. His plan for this fall is very practical. Ho has given the Indians who arc located on the west part of Oklahoma notice to plow five yards around their ranges as he intends to burn every spear of grass on Oklaho ma this fall except just what those few Iiidianshave to graze their stock on, about the 20th of June. Mr. Taylor, in charge of Dale's herd of 2,400 cat tle, from Fanin county, Texas, on their way north, got on the wrong trail near Fort Reno. The cattle were stopped by the soldieri and turned back to the right trail. That evening Major Sumner scut a scargeutwith a squad of soldiers out to Taylor's camp, and arrested Mr. Taylor and put him in the guard house at Fort Reno, where he was kept until near noon the noxt day, when he was liberated and told to go on north with his stock as fast as pos sible. If the people want to invade Oklahoma they had better leave their families of women and children at home, as they will surely meet with hardships. BASE BALL AND SHOOT1NQ. To the Editor of the Easle: Our town has a sain to record a grand and glorious victory. Pursuant to previous arrangements our base ball and and gun clubs went to ML Hone Saturday to contest the ball and gun clubs there. Tho shooting match was called at 1:30 n. in., and unon arriviutr at the grounds three of tho Ml Hopo men made themselves conspicuous by their absence, and tho referee thereupon declared it o victory for Audalo. Evcrvbody then repaired to the ball around, where the Andalo Eagles were to meet the Mentor Boys in bloody conflict. Tho game was wit nessed br at least 500 people. Tne Audale boys took their umpire witl them. Mr. Chas. V. Spurrier, and ho was pronounced by all uninterested parties to be as good and a3 fair as llmv ever make them. After one of the hardest games either side had ever played, the score stood; Andalo 2G, Mt. Hope 1C. The names of our club arc. I. V. Anderson, W.M. Anderson, C.S. Watson.J. Eckert, Robert Pierce, II. Lay ton, Frank Pence, Fred Bur ros and C. A. Witbcck. Our town is at present enjoying a good Undo. Tiro bauk of Andalo was organized July 1, as a Mate bauk, with G. V. An derson, W. W. Anderson, Frank An derson. Geo. Bodley and Jas. Witbeck as directors for tho first year. W. W. Autlereoii was elected prcsidcut, and G. XV. Anderson was elected cashier. P. Gorges has built a large oil house and store room. C. W. Carpenter has embarked in the real estate business. W. P. Mitchell has opened a tasty and substantial meat market, in the Layton & Black building, on east side of Main Mrcct. F. A. Burress has moved into his new dwelling on Levy street. Mrs. Harper, widow of tho late Thos. A. Harper, has moved into R. O. Lidle's dwelling, also on Levy street. "They say" that the Audale boys brought $150 homo with them, pro ceeds of the ball gamo. A. Ticc has been plasteriug and rc- filtiiiL' his store, and has added a "honey" stock of dry goods to his former stock of groceries. More again, ANNiitinATOB. THE RAILROAD CENTER. Corrrsiwn'lence of the Leavenworth Times. This is- the finest town iu Southern Kansas. It is located on tho cast bank of the Arkansas river in Sedgwick county, ai.d is surrounded by a coun try unsurpassed iu fertility of soil and salubrity of climate. A few largo stock ranches aro still found here, but the constant flow of immigration from the East and North Is fast crowding out the early cattle kings of 'this locality and causing them to seek fairer fields and greener pas tures farther west. Barber und Comancho counties are now what Sedgwick couuty was a few years ago. There is no country west of tho Mis souri that has settled up so rapidly and is still settling as south and southern Kansas. People have I been coming at such a rate for tho last few years that all tho best laud is either entered or horoe stc.idcil. Wichita was laid out eighteen or tweutyyears ago. Among its firstsct- tlcr was Mr. X. A.English, who is still a resident of this city, and one of its leadiug business men. We would be glad to speak of other prominent men, business or otherwise, of Wichita, bnt wc failed to got tho imformation we desired during our short stay. Wich ita is tho largest city In southern Kan sas and is growing rapidly. A recent census shows a population of 20,100. The streets are broad and most of them aro lined with beautiful shade trees. The principal avenues are lighted by electric lights, and gas is also used for lighting the city as well as dwellings and business houses. No city of its size in the state is do ing a larger business, and it has many first class business blocks. JJWc were supriscd to see so few idlers. Everybody seemed to havo some thiug to do aud was doing it with a will. We visited many towns in this part of the state, but fouud none in which there seemed to be such a boom in real estate as here. It is now a city of seven railroads, and more arc contemplated. Wichita is already the great railroad enter of Southern Kansas, and al though an Arkansas (river) city, it ha all the push an enterprise of its bigger ' city at the Bonth of the Saw. AN ORIGINAL POEM. Bt Mi. K. E.Lfuc. Wichita. Kan Ded- lotted to the Sons of Veterans.) When war" dark cloud in many a fold Hong o'er onr nation' heart, And human tlavea were bought and sold In every southern mart, A soldier band of heroes true To battle's wild refrain, In rank and file of union blue Marched out from hill and plain And strewed the land with mighty deeds That burst from every field As swiftly as the summer seeds With Valor's harvest yields, And stood when hero lesions swayed And fierce foes onward came, Till battle fires of Grant's brigade were ticnal bents of fame. The din is still on Malvern hill, The breath of battle spirit And northland lays her grandest boys U'er Hancock's silent tent. Where gallant Kearney's lifeblood swelled The union's crimson tide. And every banner-bearer fell. Ana Dve young waatwortn aica, And Grant, the martial hero great, The Bayard of the slain, Has passed through Glory's open portal gate I rom connict ttelda or pun. Bnt to onr hearts thy cannot die, Those chieftains brave of vore. Where hearts of steel and deeds of fire Flash high on memory s shore, They cannot die while memory lives tier sacred watch to keep Above tho graves where valor gives Hr martyred children tlsep. While deathful groans from Fredricksbun; Be-cho from the past, And Knoxviile and tho Wilderness Still hear the cannons bint. They cannot die whilo Georgia's sands Bear marks of prison pen, And God himselt can scarce forgive The foe that starved our men. They cannot die, who gave their lives That others might be free. Who bore aloft our starry flag, With Sherman to the sea. Can we forget that watched-for day, When clash of arms did cease, And 'neath the Appomatox tree. Our Grant dictated peace, And though that chieftain lies at rest Ho gave to you and mo A sacred heritage to keep: He wrung that day from Lee. Brave sons of veterans, war-worn sires, Fill every breach with men of trust, Who will not fear to go Where honor is tho signal lightj However fieroa the foe. Bravo war-worn heroes of tho past Your deeds havo made you great, And down the distant years to come Will light this fair young state. You bore aloft our battle flags And never thought to yield; t You bora thtm on their shattered statu On many a common field. Now to the flower of manhood's throng, Our Sons of "Veterans brave, Givo sword unstained and flag unfurled, They'll guard them to the grave, On this cir nation's natal day. Peace, plenty, smiling too, God bless our flsg, our army boys, For Sons of Veterans true. THE DEVIL AND THE "BELLOWS BLOWERS." To the Editor or the Eule. Anderson's "Grand March" to Der by, on Saturday, July 3d, was no fail ure. Whon your homo correspond ent said Hiat "Gypsum done nothing by halves," he came as near tolling the truth as nny Dcrbyltc has done since tho memory of "Derby," for on last Saturday, Gypsum township opened the eyes of Derby and led her to see that she wasn't a drop in the bucket toward getting up a celebration, and the fact is that had Gypsum not went to Derby and acted as the other two townships did Derby wouldn't have had such a glorious Fourth. The township formed their procession at two different appointed places iu the township, aria both met two miles north of Derby, and marched with J. V. Anderson at their head, iuto Derby. The procession reached fully- a mile in lengt'i, aud was most glorious to behold. The front waron was decorated to excel anything over saw west o St. Louis. Third Young ladies aud little girls, all dressed in their g.ir ments of white dressed to represent each elate in the union. Then fol lowed John A. Smith, with the most beautifully decorated wagon, from Gvnsum Center, representing that place. His team was decorated with beautiful silk covers of red, white and blue, aud bordered with beautiful roses, and on each side of tho covers was, in largo sized letters, "Gypsum Center," aud on tho horses were most beautiful arches of the same material and tho same motto, whilo his horses, hoads were decorated with most love- Iv nlumes. ana on hu wagon was placed a most beautiful flag. Mr, Smith deserves much praise, and no doubt ho got much. About the mid dlo of tho procession was a string baud from Gypsum Center, and mieht sav thev cot away with tho Dcrbv cornet baud without much trouble. And on toward tho rear of tho pro cession came our gallant calcthumpian in number twenty-seven, and very orderly too; several persons in Derby were represented, as well as in their tvrn township. A hayrick took tho lead, with six dovils driven by a toad and toadcRS. Wo needn't explain what this represented, as it would bo of no interest to any outside of our com munity. Then camo next a wagon with twolvo littlo boys blowing horns, rattlinir old tin cans. etc.. bearing a banner, rcpre scnting tho Derby baud and "Derby Nowb." This was a great burlcsQuc on Derby, as well as the postolhce, drug store, dry goods store aud bank, which were also represented by match boxes and dry goods boxes carried on pojes. it is unnecessary and imnossiblo to describe the delega tion as it was, itill we givo tho reader a fiut idea. They boro twelve large flags, with the township banner, and to exceed more than one thousand small flags. Each team was dressed iu red, whilo aud blue and looked most splendidly. They took the cako at Derby, same as tboy took the prizo at Wichita three years ago. 1I our ftaDDatn scnoois got great praise for their singing, which was led bv Miss Maud King, of Gypsum Cen ter, and Mr. A. Burrier, of the Ye mi an. And now with reference to th heading. The most notable scene in our colithumpian ranks was an old lady and gentleman on a wagon, blowing a pair of. blacksmith's bel low's. One of them wore fine auburn hair, tho other was bald headed from a scar. This represented the "Devil and the Bellows-Blower"' from Gyp sum Center. Somo of tho Derbyites wero completely frightened, as the representation looked natural, but the only harm the "Bellows-Blower" did tho Derbyites was the blowing of the sock ofl'them. One of ttik Devils. When you speak of sioon inprati tudc. look at the other side and com pare it with prohibition ingratitude. Even- nrohibito.T Hw Is tho work of thn Republican party, and cverythinjr that has been done for the cause of Udjpcranco has been done by that party, while the Democratic party has been the increasing opponent of tem perance legislation, xct the apostles and leaders of the prohibition move ment axe moving heaven and earth to defeat tho Republican party. They hato It with a hatred that is derelith ; the vials ( their abuse is poured out npon it exclusively ; and if necessary thev do not hesitate to aid the Demo cratic party in defeating the Republi can party. Whenever a man comes to believe that prohibition is the one paramount issue, that man become toe deadly enemy of the Republican party. Troy Chief. rME lCBttTAtDAILY EAGtfc WICMTTA. :kA5SA& WEDNESDAY MORNING JULY 7, 1886. A QUESTION OF VERACITY. To the E lllor of the Eagle : Yonr daily issue of June 23, 18S6, contained the following extract viz; "A few weeks ago a petition was circulated in Portland. Maine, and pretty extensively signed, recommend ing that the saloons in that place be closed on Sunday, and that no liquors be sold to minor." Most credulous people outside of Maine have supposed that no intoxi cating liquors of any kind have been sold in that commonwealth, for oyer a generation, unless they were smug gled in, in flasks by visitors from Massachusetts, New York and other serai-barbarous communities near at hand." The above extract from tho "Liquor League's Literary Bureau" was clipped out of the Eagle and at once sent to the Hon. Jfeal Dow, of Portland, Maine, for the facts in the case. The following is his prompt answer: "Dear Sir: There is not a word of truth in it. It is a dcliberato lie; paid for no doubt, from the liquor league's literary fund." Iu Portland we have three shcrifl's officers appointed expressly to hunt rum sellers: They do nothing but that. Wherver liquor is suspected to be sold they search tho premises care fully. There is always a horse and wagon at the door of their office iu the basemeat of the City hall. With this they are constantly scouring the city in every part where liquors are suspected to be sold or kept Besides these officers we have thirty police men whonrc always on the watch for signs of liquor idling, aud they seize liquors on sight wherever they may be. "It is infinite, almost the number of lies the "liquor leagues" set afloat; all of which have a run through the rum press, subsidized no doubt by the "liquor leagues." Respectfully, Neai. Dow JEWETT FARM SALES. Frank A. Mason, of Wichita, last week purchased of the Jewctt Farm a yearling colt, "Haco," p tying one thousand dollars. Haco was sired by Jerome Eddy (2:16 1-2); foaled April 5, 1885, color bay, star, small snip on uusc, both hind feet white; dam Honda, by Wcdgcwood (2.19). Mr. Mason was undecided whether to take Haco or Dmno, another of Jerome Eddy's colts, valued at eight hundred. His choice was made by throwing up n silver dol lar, and tho lot was iu favor of Hao. They arc both fine colts.
