3IY DREAM.
I dreamed of a mound in God's acre,
Where the dying sunbeam lay;
(Where they buried my heart with my darl
ing, When they layed him, to rest, away.)
By his grave I was kneeling, sobbing
When a low voice spoke my name,
And it called again, as I listened,
Wondering whence it came.
Then a hand clasped mine,
And I saw a face, wonderous, divinely fair
And. knew God had sent his angel
Kneeling beside me there.
The words of comfort, and healing
"At last reached my aching heart
And I thought "Of the Kings great diadem,
My boy is forming a part. "
That in all the world
There was not a gem save mine could fill
the place,
But he, thank God, was ready
Though Christ's dear love aud grace,
Close to theeruery-wheel; his life
Had been held by a master-hand
Till God said a soul so true, so fair,
Must at my right handstand.
How the heart-ache changed to gladness.
How proud I was, that my boy,
Striving to noble manhood
Had given his Savior joy.
How glad to think that his faith
In the Master to save from sin.
Would, though his life was endea,
Be a power, souls to win.
ALL RIGHT.
Charley Echholtz is at home. He allied
yesterday evening to say that he is 110 kick
er; that, while lie does not believe, nor do
his friends believe, that he was fairly
beaten in convention for representative, yet
he wants it understood that he is with the
Republican part', and will be found stand
ing by its nominees and its principles. Of
course he felt a little sore over some things,
but not so sore as to make him a bolter.
REMINISCENCE.
The Democratic party never objects to a
third term for a judicial oilicer unless that
oflicer is a Republican.
Thousands of people are taking home
steads in the Panhandle of Texas, and pro
nounce it a good country.
A man never finds out what a sweet
creature his wife is until he has mistaken
her for the hired girl and kissed her in the
dark.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
The article in Saturdaj' morning's Eagle
from the Brooklyn Eagle, headed "Chest
nuts," Avliicli is an account of a trip taken
by a partj' of eminent divines to Fire
Island, recalls the days of 'GO aud '01.
"Dr." Pentecost, or "Pente" as we all
called him, was a printer twenty-five yea re
ago, and worked in the office of the Kan
sas National Democrat, a paper published
by W. DriartT"?, whom von, George Mar
tin and many others well remember. At
the time Geo. M. Rcebc was holding down
the gubernatorial chair, young Sam Medary
had the contract for piinting the territorial
laws, journals, etc., and the work was be
ing done in the Democrat ollice, which was
then in the basement of the building oppo
site the old Roweua hotel, in Lccomplon.
Among others who worked in the ollice at
that time was George Fred Pentecost, now
an eminent minister in Brooklyn Hew York.
When I remember the fearful amount of
"cussing"' "Pente" used to do on the
slightest provocation, how strange it
seemed to me when I learned soon after the
war that he was preaching. But I recol
lect him as a fine specimen of physical
manhood, verj' bright and intelligent, and
full of life and fun, and a good printer as I
have no doubt he is a good preacher none
of your dismal, long-faced .fellows, but a
bright, cheerful laborer in the Master's
vineyard, whom it does one good to talk to.

Should we be so fortunate as to secure the
crossing of the S. K. railroad and the Ft.
Scott railroad at our town, there is no
doubt but what we would make one of the
best towns on this side of Wichita. Our
citizens are all jubilant over the present
bright prospects for this new road.
Anticipating a boom in real estate trans
actions at this place, the Courier Land
Agency is making extensive preparations
so that they can receive all strangers , in a
proper manner. They have good rigs to
ride them oyer the country in free of
charge. This firm is doing some hard
work for the success of our town and coun
try, and should receive a liberal patronage
from all interested in the future of our
city.
Mr. Drcssel, of the Wichita wholesale
house, was in our city Thursday and sold
our merchants quite large bills of goods.
The G. A. R. post at this place will give
a camp fire and bean supper on Tuesday
Sept. 30, 1886, at 4 o'clock p. in. They
will also give a grand social ball in the
evening at the Union hali A cordial in
vitation is extended to all Should be
pleased to sec a representation of your post
in attendance.
The proprietor of the Crisdfield Courier,
Henry Anderson, while in Peabody last
week purchased one of the finest horses and
buggies that could be had. lie now rides
behind a three minute trotter in one of the
handsomest caniages our country affords.
There is considerable talk of putting in a
water plant at our town, on a cheap scale.
Wc have within one mile of town one of
the finest springs of water that wc have
ever seen in the state. It would furnish
water enough for a town of seven
or 8,000 inhabitants. Of course talk is
cheap, but then we are strongly of the
opinion that these water works will be in
operation before another year rolls around.
The probable expense would be .$10,000.
If everything now under headway in our
town is made to work successfully we shall
soon be a city of two or three thousand in
habitants.
Our newspaper is to be enlarged to an

To the Editor of tiic Eagle.
All cities that make great commercial
centeis, are built upon direct lines of travel
either bjr i ail way or water communication.
The Mississippi river, the lakes, the gulf,
as well as the seaboards, attest the fact that
direct communication with the world is the
only way to build up great trade centers.
Wichita must be made a great trade center,
and she can put herself t the forefront by
securing an Atlantic and Pacific railway
outlet. A railroad from Norfolk on the
Atlantic to Santa Diego on the Pacific,
making Wichita its central or terminal
points, would, in many lespects, be the
greatest road on the American continent.
When we look at the magnitude of such
an enterprise, we are almost ready to say
it is too great to be undertaken
at present. But when we
consider the transcendent importance of
such a railroad to Wichita. We arc per
suaded it is wisdom to take hold of such an
enterprise and never let it go until it is
built. A young friend of ours who is con
versant with the proposed line of railway,
who has made it a study for years, has pre
pared a charter and communicated with
many leading railroad men, who are con
vinced of the immense shipping and travel
such a road would readily command, and
who are ready and willing to take hold of
the enterprise and push it to completion.
Such a road would be the most direct
route for all time to the capital of our coun
try, as it would traverse the central portion
of the United States. Let anyone examine
the map of the United States and sec New
York, Cairo, Wichita and Sandiego, and
notice the rivers as well as all the material
interest of the central half of the United
States, and the intelligent will trace the
lines of the proposed road, which can and
will be fed bv the rivers aud the states de
siring to get the most speedy communica
tion with the markets of the world.
CKIsriKLD ITEMS.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
CniSKiELt), Kan., Sept. 2,j. We now re
ceive1 the Daily Eagle three hours earlier
than we used to, on account of the mail ar
riving that much sooner. But still there is
a little deficiency in the mail route between
here and Wichita, fcometimes we iret our
Eagli; every day for a week or so, and
then for the next week or ten days we will
get it only every other day. This i the
cause oi cousiuemuie annovance to vour
readers in this part of the country, as they
depend entirely upon your valuable paper
for their news.
As Ave write this corrcsj.ondcnce we are
being blessed with one of the finest rains wc
have ever seen. It has rained for the past
six hours, giving the earth a thorough
soaking.
The farmers have, most of them, got
their fall crops planted, and the wheat
fields are looking as green as though it was
just spring time. There is quite an acre
of wheat sown.
The railroad excitement is bringing quite
a large number of strangers to our country
on the lookout for investments. The latest
news in regard to the Ft. Scott road is to
I'rom the Atchison Champion.
In five years there have been many
changes in the Garfield family. There
have been no deaths, but the children of
whom the father was so fond have grown
up. The two older boys have just begun
a course in the Columbia law school, and
Harry, the elder, has been teaching in
some eastern school. Both are graduates
of Williams college. James It. Garfield
has been studying law with Judge Boyn
ton in Cleveland, and is looked upon by
friends of his father as the son most like
him in every way. He has his father's
size, complexion and manner. Both sons
are now men, and have, it is said, great am
bition. Miss Mollie, the only daughter,
is now a young woman taller than her
mother, and has about finished her studies.
The two j'oungcr sons, Abram and Irwin
the latter named for General Irwin Mc
Dowell have entered a school on the Hud
son, Mrs. Garfield's family circle is there
fore not large, with her four boys all away.
The old house at Mentor, now the home
of the family, has had added to it a palatial
"Queen Anne" structure, which cost $30.
000, It is the" most imposing home in the
country, although the new part is behind
and wholly subservient to the old house in
which the president lived. A S30, 000 addition
to a $o,000 house is a curiosity in modern
architecture, but sentiment for the past and
its illustrious dead inspired it. There are
probably sixty rooms in both the old and
the new houses. They are all furnished in
modern style, and with considerable ele
gance, and there is an air of aristocracy
about the interior which Garfield in life
did not know in his own home. Although
the house is far in the country, it has all
the conveniences of a city home, in lumb-
ing, gas-fitting and steam-heating, A nat
ural gas well has been bored on the farm,
and the j'ard is kept lighted day and night.
With Mrs. Garfield live her father, Mr.
Rudolph, a brother and his family, and
also the two Misses Mason, of Cleveland,
whose mother and sister are now in Eu
rope. There are sixteen in the family, and
five servants. A half dozen men
are employed on the farm, which
consists of 200 acres. It is paying, al
though nothing is sold off from it "but beef
cattle.
Mrs. Garfield is only thirty miles from
Cleveland, and often visits the city. Her
husband's tomb in Lake View cemetery
is Hearing completion. The Gar
field Monumental association, of which
ex-President Ii. B. Hayes is president and
J. II. Rhodes secretary, has raised $130,000
for the monument, now half completed,
with Charles Kellar, of New Haven, sup
ervising architect. The contribution did
not reach the amount desired for the origi
nal plans, and the design has been changed
accordingly. The body is now in the reg
ular receiving vault of the cemetery,
guarded only at night by a special watch
man. The " casket will never Again be
opened.

I will say in the fewest words at ray
command, that each trip settles more fully
in my mind that the state of Kansas is but
partially known to the people of the older
states. Again to become fully known
would cause Mich a rush to the state as was
never known in any country in the last
quarter of a century. The health giving
qualities of its climate, its long summers
and its delightful fall and spring. Few
men are aware that one man can"do more
work on the farm during the vear towards
bringing forth products o'f the soil
in Kansas, than two Gin in any of
the northern or eastern Mate:. It needs no
argument to demonstrate this problem for
the entire work is crowded into live
mouths under the most favorable circum
stances in which to sow, mow, plant and
harvest, admitting of no lounging or
waste of time either. II is worlccariy
