Ami now comes tho season 'gainst which the average country newspaper calls the at tention or the world to the fact that above all things, "what our town most stands in need or is a lew paying manufactories," and a mass meeting, or Hoard of Trade, or a bond proposition is urged vehemently. Mr. Karncst Dreves, the superintendent or the Anglo-American Stock and Dairy farm and creamery, n full description of which lately appeared iu these columns, ou Tuesday placed the presiding queen of our home, as well as all the vassals thereof1, un der obligations for an eight pouud roll or golden creamery butter with tho compli ments or Madam Dreves. Our street car line has doubled the num ber ol round trips daily, and Is not only be coming more popular, but is paying. The boys indulge in some flings at what is des. ignatcd the cannon ball or through sleppcr, but the other three cars are as fine as arc manufactured Tho stock keeps up well, there being no grades, and Col. llartzcll is entirely satisfied with the Investment. 1'ractlcally, under Kansas Jaws, there can be no hanging for murder, and an execu tion of that character has not taken place for years lii tho State. Hut as Wichita now has a United States court, and as tnucli of the business formerly carried to Ft. Smith, whero every term of court is attended with capital executions, we may expect a per centage of that so-called relic oi barbarity. Judge Sluss and the editor of this paper leavo this morning for Augnsta, nnd ma) be on to Leon. If they shouldn't put In an appearance for a couple of wcek;or more it may be sarely concluded that they have extended their trip still iarthcrou in the direction of the haunts of the diamond backed terrapin, and the shaft raised by a grateful country to the hero of the hatchet story. The Wtltinglonian has put in a new power press. Through somo misuudcrstanding the machinist failed to arrive to put it up In time to w'ork off the Inside of their last Is sue, so MrJ.O.O.Morse, ono or the editors, and T. V.

Nine towns out of every ten in tho State or Kansas have expended no little time and money in efforts to have solid avenues or shado trees, Wichita succeeded so well In a like undertaking that the town has Wc corac a forest too dense lor comfort, and this winter largo numbers of shade trees are being cut down, grubbed uportrimmed. Father Maker's attention is respectfully called to the matter. Chris Ktmmerlic Is preparing to spread out and surprise his friends.

Last week wc ventured the advice that our farmers wero selling corn for a less price than they should. Jtefore the Eagle was Issued there was a slight advance. Hut wc think the advance must "bo still more marked, for outside of two or three States the corn crop or the present season is far below the average. The Chicago Tribune, or Saturday, publishes special reports on the corn crop of tho West, In Indiana, Iowa and Illinois there is hardly enough of sounu corn lor next year's seed, and the unsound portion is very short. Kansas is the only Slate that reports extra good qual ity, and more than average quantity. Judge H. G. Ituggles returned Monday from, a three week's trip, during which he went down into the mountains of eastern Tennessee, where the standard or manhood Wjncasurcd by ability to construct rabbit traps. Ills description ol the Ignorance, squalor and primeval styles encountered, to say the least, are entertaining. For the want ol any kind of a conveyance, be foot ed It into one county scat of gin-sing root root diggers, and coon shooters, in which there was none be found a single attorney or notary public, and which one man, a country store keeper, holds all tne.ofBces. The utter squalor and ignorance ofthe peo ple of thoso mountains are beyond belief "Most. Having received several letters or Inquiry touching the identity or both Xellie C. Bai ley and her supposed victim, Clement Both amlcy, and as many or our people who heard the examination had before United States Commissioner Shearman arc convinced of her innocence, we, at her own solicitation, visited her one afternoon last week at the jail in this city where she has been confined since the arrest, Of the charge, the result, and the history of this unfortunate young woman our readers are already acquainted. In an upper room o! the jail, carpeted and comfortably furnished with a singlo bed, dressing bureau, chairs and stove, wefound a lady dressed In rich black hut without or naments save a pair of bracelets. She is of fine figure, delicate or sylph-like In move ment, fair-faced, darkhalr, strongly-marked eyebrows, thin lips, and taken altogether would be set down as a pretty woman, a steady proud head and a large, open, frank eye adding to her charms. She met us cor dially and after Mr. Webster had withdrawn she said she had sent for us, not only with a desire to speak to one who would listen without prejudice, but to show us some let ters which would remove from our mind and the mind ol the public, unjust Impres sions, the thought or which burthencd and weighed her down daily. If the world on ly knew all, they might say she had been very thoughtless and iudiscrcct, but not in tentionally wicked, much less vicious. While her career had been one or romanec and very eventful ror one so young, as it came from her own lips it seemed to us that it all could be logically traced back to the mistake or a mere girl marrying a man of money, her fancy for whom she, In her ig norance, took for love. When wc told her that we had received among others a letter from Judge Asa Howard, of Oakland, Cali fornia, who wroteus that his ramlly's inter est In her was marked, she talked ol the pleasurable recollections of her Hie on the 1'aciflc coast and at the home ot Judge How ard. Touching the letter wc published last week from Hothamley's sister-in-law, she said that Clement did not know his brother was still in Canada, but thought that he had gono back to Kngland. She said llotbam ley held no communication with his own family save bis aged mother to whom ho wrote two ur three times a year. As to the deed for the land In Harvey county, Both amley had made it to iter without reserva tion, so far as she Knew. She loved the man for his own sake and had started with him to a land where they had counted on being peacefully happy and unknown. Ot the tragedy of that dark night in the Indian Territory, she had already given her testi mony. She had got, it seems, about ?,000 of Bailey when he left her, and the jewelry, about which so much has been said, showed for ilsell, ns her nainu n much of it. Her's and Bothamlcy's reasons for wishing their relations to each other to be kept from the world arc now will understood. She had made a foolish blunder at Waukesha, and he had back of him ties which he had not acknowledged to any but her. Further in the conversation she expressed the con viction that she would be bailed within a rcw days iu which event she should go di rect to tlio home of her rather and mother in Harvey county and there remain until her trial at the next term or the United States court. Ilclow, wo publish two documents, one, a letter written by her bcloro starting south with Botliamley, and which was sent back, and the other a letter to us froi.i a man at Waukesha who offers abundant reference as to his standing and credit from bankers and others. We Bubmit that this letter and communication, taken together with other letters received by us dove-tall in with her testimony in such a way that preclude the Inea of false testimony. The letter and communication arc as follows: Wichita, August 1C, 1SKJ. Un. Jmtin DeakFkie.ni): Yoursofthe 18th or last mouth was received and its con tents perused with pleasure. I presume you began to think I had forgotten you by neglecting to answer your letter earlier. But such is not the case; on the contrary, my thoughts, many times a day, fly back to your home, where I spent 60 many pleasant days. My time has been wholly occupied in preparing to start lor our trip across the country to Texas. It is quite a task, Mrs. Austin, to get ready for such a journcy,but we arc now already and expect to start on the 21et of this month. I wish you could sec our outfit. Clement has spared no pains nor money In lilting It up. It is a nobby one, 1 tell you. Wc have a -'car" built on wheels with one room. It fs fitted up in fine style. Wc have two yoke of oxen to draw the car which will only be in use when wo camp. Wo have a cow with us, also. Clement and I cicli have n riding horse and I will ride horseback all the lime. We have 22iV) sheep. Two young boys will accom pany us, one to drive the car the other the sheep. We expejt to have a delightful time aud It will be so romantic. We will go right through tho Indian Territory. 1 want to visit the Indian camps and sec how they live. I will write you a description or Ind ian llfo when 1 visit them, aud give an ac count or our trip in general. Mrs. Austin no one has recognized me yet In Harvey county, notwithstanding I am well known. I am only fifteen miles from where father lives and havc.not sen any of our family. That seems hard, I know, to be so near pa uud ma and not let them know I am In the country. But I have reasons for dolngso which lean not explain; not on my own account, .but Sir. Hothamley's There nro some things connected with Clem ent's affairs that requires this to be kept a secret for ft while. No one knows where I am but you, Mrs. Austin, aud I trusted and confided Inyou, leelingaisured you tfoult keep the matter to yourself, till wc were ready for the world to know wc were mar ried. If pa and ma knew where I was and what I was going to do, they would raise an objection at once. And Mrs. Austin, no one on this earth can prevent megolng with Clement. I can trust him and know I am safe, and I have all the confidence in the world iu him, reeling assured all will come out right in the cud' Clement acts so hon orable with mo in every respect that I am willing to risk all with him- Clement says he will come with me next summer nnd tuako you a visit. You and Mr. Austin wil1 like him I know, for he is splendid compa ny, and is lively and is so nice. Hois real good-looking and is stylish and highly edu cated. Or course, I think he is perfection. He is very fond of traveling. Wo will not live ou our ranch but put n family on it to look after the stock. Wc expect to make lots of money when wc get started in Texas and Clement expects quite a sum ot money from Knglandiu the spring. I am not afraid but what Clement will always make mc a good home and be good and kind to me. I think by tho first ot January we will have everything settled up so 1 can write to pa and ma and tell ihem lantmarrled, and who to and where I am. Clement says so, pro viding we get through to Texas as soon as we expect, and I think wc will. Mrs.Austin, I told Clement about the mar rying affair in Waukesha, and told him how it happened. I told him about going with Itobcrt and he said he didn't expect me to not go out In company any. Ho said lie -wanted mo to go in company aud try and enjoy inysclr while I was away. He said ho had all the confidence In the world in me and could trust mc anywhere. Clement laughed when I told him and said the worst or the joke was on the young man. He said if It was really legal I could easily get get a divorce in Texas. Clement said he would consult a lawyer when wc got there. I declare, Mrs. Austin, that was such a fool ish trick for me to do, even In fun. But I did not know Spencer was a justice of the neaeo when wo went in. 1 am alwaya do ing something Jn fun that turns out to be serious. Uut uowlam going to settle down to the stern reality of married life, no more flirting forme. I have had an awful restless disposition, and been dreadfully discontented for the last four years, notwithstanding I havo been traveling so much and had everything money could buy. But, Mrs. Austin, money can't buy contcntmentnorhapplnesain this world alone. No one has ever known what made mc so discontented, nor ever shall. But now I am perfectly contented and happy, and will enjoy life. Clement has a disposi tion like my own and Is a man I can lire happily with. When we once get settled, so pa'aorj 'ua can 'know where t am and can come and see me, I shall expect job. and Mr. Austin to comeandieejM, asyouprom Ised me you would." Wo will be there to see you, next summer, Clement aid J, .sore. Do not worry, abtrat me, Mrs. Auatinfor t am In safe hands, pwi th Clement. There is no danger la going through' the Territory.' I will write to you as often as possible. Did little Florence receive the ring we sent ,W!ClfttaoiM she wenldb pleased with it and sol jot it He'sclected it. Does Sobers ever, ask where Ia? If he does, Clement says teH ihim NelUeis married and gtme to Europe, or seme other seaport. Tulsli the last you will hear from me aw we are down In the Territory, as we will start in a day or two now. Giro my my kind regards to all inquiring friends. Clement sends his best respects to Mr. and Mrs. Austin. With my love to you and Florence and kind regards to Mr. Austin, I am, as ever, your loving Nellie. Direct your letter tome as follows: Ber tha L. Botbamlcy, Fort Itcno, Indian Ter ritory. Good-bye. Wackksiia, 'Wis., November 17, 18S3. To tie Editor the. Eagle : After reading so many falsehoods about a Mrs. Nellie Bailey who spent the early part of last scaton here visiting her aunt, I can not refrain from furnishing your readers a plain, truthful history of the lady's deport ment while in Waukcsha,(somcourmonths) havingenjoyed the pleasure oi her acquaint ance from her arrival to the day of her de parture, a portion of which time she was a welcome guest at my bouse. One of these reports says: "One bf'her first moves after she arrived was to attempt to form a theatrical troupe." The troupe referred to was organized ear ly in the fall ol 1882, and given several pub lic performances in Waukesha and adjoin ing to wns. I witnessed the second perform ance here, in Carney's opera house. The play on this occasicn was entitled the "So cial Glass; or, the Victims of the Bottle." At this performance, the troupe was under the immediate management or "Gcncy" Sweet (a son ol Mrs. Bailey's aunt) who who seemed to be impressed with the idea that he was born to shine in the histrionic art (?) The headquarters of this troupe were at the residence of his parents and just pre vious to the arrival of Mrs. Bailey, the lead ing lady had become disgusted with the af fair, and utterly refused to take part in the next performance, which was to be a trage dy entitled, "Michael Earl, or theManlac Lover," and so left the troupe temporarily paralyzed. A few days after her arrival she was persuaded by her uncle and aunt to take tho leading part in the play, and did, I believe, appear in the rehearsals which took place in her aunt's parlors. From these rehearsals dissensions enough arose born to demolish the troupe and take the conceit out of Its would-be Othcllos. By this, your readers can judge how much of her energy was spent In trying to organize a dramatic company. Another report says : "She undoubtedly married Bobert Bicsc for money." As Mr. Kleso was to play the "villain" In tho trag edy, and attended all the rehearsals, Mrs. Bally had abundant opportunity to leani that there was not a member ol the troupe able to raise tho price of two books of the play which would have cost about thirty five cents each, or less, so you sec what an exalted opinion she must have hail of Mr. lticsc'8 financial ability, and how anxious she must have been to marry a fellow worth about "two for a nickel." Just to know this young man would knock this theory or the marriage higher than Bccchcr's "Life of Christ" was knocked by the Brooklyn scandal. The mock marriage of lliese and Mrs. Bai ley was a one-sided affair and came about in this way: Mrs. Bailey's aunt manifested a determination that her son "Gcncy" should act as Nellie's protege, to the exclusion of all others, during her sojourn in Waukesha, and having discovered that Mrs. Bailey prc fcrrcd Mr. Beeso, as an escort, to her own dear son, from this time on, the English language seemed inadequate to furnish her aunt with invectives sufficiently strong to heap upon Mr. Bobert Blcse'shcad. To ap pease her anger for the Imagined wrong done her son, she notified Mrs. Bailey that Bicsc would not be permitted to enter her house again, and that she, Mrs. Bailey, "must cut him" then and forever, which, of course, Mrs. Bailey, woman-like, refused to do, and at the first opportunity informed Bicsc of her aunt's hatred lor him advised him, to save himself humiliation at her aunt's hands, not to call at the house again, but come along Sunday afternoo'h (the next day) and she would take a walk with him, Just to spite her aunt. On this afternoon they planned the "mock marriage" which was to, and did, come off at the residence or ono ol our justices on the 12th day of April, 1SS3. That the affair was a reckless piece of business, and intended as a joke on Mrs. Bailey's aunt, and nothing more, all are only too willing to admit. Mr.KIcse himseir says that he intended it should be, and supposed it was, bogus from beginning to end; that ho never received the slushy letters published in the papers and alleged to have been written by Mrs. Biilcy; that he never received but one postal card and one letter from her since her departure ; that he never expected her to return to Wauke sha again ; and among ether things that he did not know he was married until ho had consulted a lawyer, and to his utter aston ishment and sorrow, learned that the mock marriage was really binding on him, and to remove all doubt he had better go through the form ot securing a divorce and thus re move all doubts, in a legal point of view, from his further actions. Mr. Biesc being engaged to an estimable young lady in Mil waukee, these foolish reports have placed him in a rather peculiar position. Hero your readers will be able to judge whether she married him for money or not. Still another report says : "She became eo bad that her aunt turned her out of her house." The facts arc, that Mrs. Baliey'a aunt inado it so unpleasant for ber. because it had leaked out that she had been married to Mr. Bicsc, that Mrs. Bailey came to my house to llvo until the first of June when she said sho intended to go to St. Louis to join a "very dear friend." She having de ported herself in the most lady-like manner during her stay here, we consented to ad mit her as a guest to our houso and family circle. Ono Sunday cTcnlng, when Mrs Bailey was in a talkative mood, she said she would tell us whothe "dear friend" she was to, join in St. Louis really was, upon condition that we would promise to keep it a secret from her relatives in Waukesha. Or course, wo promised. She said : "Well, he Is a handsome young Englishman; he lives outin Kansas; he Is worth some money and will have a large fortune when he re ceives a legacy from tho old country. But 1 do not care for his fortune, I love him for his dear self alone. I am going to be mar ried to him, because he Is the only man I ever loved. He says he loves me, too; and I know'bo docs, lie has already made ar rangements to start a large sheep ranch way down In sunny Texas, and we will have ev erything fixed up In fine style to travel over land from Kansas to Texas. It will be a fine trip. I wish you would come with us we'll havo such a nice time. After wo set tle down, I shall have a nice home and a kind and loving husband, because I know ho thinks the world and all of mc. And then I shall settle down in sober earnest for Hie remainder of my life, and be a truo and loving wife to him." "But Nellie," said my wife, "you haven't told us his name yet." "Well' she said, "his name I Clement Bothamlcy. Now, don't you ever mention It, will your Upon her cngagcmcntfinger she wore a beautiful and costly diamond ring, which she always alluded to as a gift from bar handsome Englishman. She seemed to 'be fairly Infatuated with this man Bothamlcy, and exhibited various pieces of jewelry as presents from him. -On another occasion, we asked her about her former husband, Mr. Bailey. She said : "Mr. Bailey and I parted up in Dakota one year ago. Since that time, 1 have heard he was dead, but I do not know anything defi nite about his death." Mrs. Bailey had a fine wardrobe, vvbeai here, of silks and satins or the latest pat terns, and various diamond rings, and qait a stock of Jewelry of all kinds and designs. Including a beautiful gold watch and chalnv; During her stay at my house her mail was; sent In' my care and most ol her letters were-: received from Jlr. Bothamley and were i sealed with a signet ring bearing the initial j "C.1I," in old English. I speaker thifiroa the fact of its being an old-fashioned style, i and something uncommonnow days- " j Her. aunt, Mrs. JSugene Bs Sweet, tfoaief In tdto,'thc report in the Milwaukee Journal and rays she never said to any one that she' turned Nettie out of doors, but on. the con-! trary was very sorry when sb.o lelt her house. From this your readers can form an. opinion of the correctness of o thcr reports in similar journals. And now. Mr. Editor, in r lonelualon, al low mc to say that duringMr i. Bailey's stay, in Waukesha no one can tru .fully say she' ever committed an unlady-li' u act, In word or deed. It is unnecessary for n-a to say, were J knownlin .yoar vicinity-, that 1 write tL poor article unsolicited i aysayoae, trift- out fear or expectation o f reward, or favor; from any source whateTe r, but to .TiBiKcaio a woman, not forgettiriar that my angel mother war ajwoman, ui that we are all liable to err in this Tale of teara. I remain years f or tr- tj right. i ., , - ...fa.o. Ararat, cr GO SLOW ON NEW EUTEtFUKEI. Wichita must look out that her local taxes are not made too heavy. A good many promising towns In Kansas have been ruined by local taxation. Jn a spirit of ill timed, or ill-advised enterprise, burthens have been assumed in the shape of bonds for improvements until the tax of such towns have rendered real estate undesira ble property. It is an easy matter to to burthen a new (lace with taxes as to kill it. Smart, wide-awake business men won't hold property, or attempt to do business in a town where the local taxes eat up their profits, but will sell out and get out at any price, leaving the less enterprising and leu thoughtful to drag out a lifetime in crum bling and watching their hopes decay. These burthens, nine times out of ten, are forced upon a town by adventurers and non-property holders, who manage to get the nubile ear and public confidence, but who drop out of sight when things no longer boom. There are schemes now be ing developed that should be watched, and nipped In the bud by those who have the taxes to pay, for by consulting your tax statement for this year you will see tbat we have gone about as far as we ought for the present. Wichita has been a wonderfully prosperous town in all her past years, and her boast has been that for years her peo paid no city taxes. This is the first year that taxes hare been heavy enough to be felt, and wc urge economy and a slow pace until our increased taxablo property again makes the burthen light. AN OHIO NUBBIN. The Eagle's corn stories have reached far and wide it seems. Mr. N. W. Ellis, of Brown county, Ohio, sends us an ear ot corn with his compliments and the, to him, satisfactory observation, "this is the kind of corn wc raise in Ohio." Brown county is on the Ohio river bottoms, fifty miles above Cincinnati, and used to be famous for big corn. The car or corn sent us, no doubt, ranked big in old Brown county, be ing nearly ten inches long, of sixteen rows, of fifty-two grains to the row, or eightbun drcd and thirty-two grains all told. Se riously, Mr. Ellis, tho car sent us would be considered a fair nubbin in the Arkansas valley, but only a nubbin. The circumfer ence is fair but thcro is entirely too much cob and the grains are too short, not being over a hair an inch long. Besides the grains are too loose on the ear, not crowded up tight enough to be considered solid corn along tho happy valley ol the Nile of Amer ica. To show our Brown county, Ohio, farmer the difference, we pick up an aver age car,, brought in by some oi our farmer friends aud which lies on our desk, and we fiud that it is a third longer, a fourth big ger ronnJ and contains twenty-four rows or sixty-six grains each, or in all fifteen hundred and eighty-four grains. Wc arc sorry that wc have no blue ribbon or prize corn at hand to convince our Ohio nubbin raisers, but probably it is just as well for they might think we were stretching it if wc told the whole truth. i ) 3$Q;-;lStfraQ: -t L Capt. White, of our respected cotempor ary, goes off every once in a while and al ways comes home knowing more than when he left, which, to say the least, is en couraging to his subscribers. As a regent of the head of the pauper school system he attended a meeting of the university board last week, and during his absence he be came a member of tho Kansas Academy of Sciences, and a member of the Kansas Free Trade League. Not to be outdone the busi ness manager of the Eagle took the next train with instructions to join every organ ization he could find save the Mormons and the Salvation Army. Our friend of the JUaeon played smash at the meeting afore said by denying'thc right of petition, and when lion. Geo. B. l'eck, as an attorney, tried to convlce him of his error from a standpoint involving the Declaration .of In dependence .and the constitution of all the States, tho fact was developed that old police-club had graduated as a lawyer from a university in the same class with Governor Noycs, Governor S. J. Crawford,;congress ional commissionei, and Hon. S. A. Biggs. Our only wonder is now that Gov. Gllck hadn't found it out and appointed him to the place soon to be vacated by the Hon. Amos Harris. .Will wonders never cease. Philadelphia Store. M iti J U:t"Jt'yj-1 r i w krtrfS - i -11 stl.' .oin;..". :i '.is: f, in A Cold Wave "is Coming :And We. Are Amply Prepared For It. The nctV catholic church edifice Is an as sured fact. Ground was broken for the foundation last Thursday, and Father Kel ly is earnestly at work. The building will be one of the finest edifices in tho city, if not altogether tho finest. It will be ninety feet deep by sixty-two feet front including the tower, which will stand its full width on the outside. The site of the church is on the corner south of the present church on the lots heretofore occupied by the parochial school. The church could hard ly have secured a better man to do this work than Father Kelly, who is not only respected by everyone, but very popular with his people lie is, in truth, a pro gressive man, ana one who, if he lives, will make himself felt. The new church will be an ornament to the city, and its lo cation is such that It will be a special fea ture to the traveling public.
