WICHITA AND OKLAHOMA.
What Will Follow tbe Opening of the
Indian Territory.
Wichita the Mistress of the Sitnation
and of a Magnificent Opportunity.
It has been reserved to this generation to
witness the swiftest and most complete
stiidc ever made in the settlement of a new
country; the quickest conversion of a wild
and uninhabited country to a superior cul
tivation, a most rapid improvement and a
dense population, ever yet witnessed since
the history of civilizations were first writ
ten. Australia and California furnished
examples in this direction, the incentive
being the precious metals, but these will
have been slow in comparison with what
will happea in the Indian Territory. A
great territory and the last, of more than
four hundred miles in length by two hund
red miles and more, of irregular shape, in
width, will be transformed from a wild
uncultivated waste, inhabited partially by
straggling tribes of Indians, into a thickly
populated commonwealth and in a day.
Great trunk lines of ratlway will traverse
the entire territory before the new civilia
n'on can possibly form their S respective
territorial and state governments.
Two or three hundred towns and
cities will spring up as if by magic
and ) quickly that the inhab
itants of one half will not
even know the names of the other half of
these cities and towns- Instead of -cars
elapsing it will be but days, and a very few
d:i3'S, from the time that the general gov
ernment consents to its settlement, until
every twenty-four miles square of the-ter-ritory
will have population suflicient for a
county organization, and each with from
two lo a half dozen candidates for county
seats. 3Iuch confusion, much trouble and
excitement and some blood-shed will in
evitably result. One million people are
now ready to enter that terriloiy from the
western states alone, the moment ofiicial
consent is given a million people, with a
thousand different ideas of how the' shall
win win a home or a fortune, or both.
With the opening of the Indian territor
will come Wichita's great opportunity
There vill be suddenly added to her field
of trade a territory larger than that
controlled by Kansas City to-day, and as
rich in every natural icsource. Six rail
roads have been chartered from or through
Wichita in as man different directions
ino the Territory, every one of which will
be built and a majority of which
will have their termini on the line
seeking to enter even before the national
congress can take care or the Indians and
give the word "go." There is the Wichita,
Verdigris Valley and Fort Smith railroad;
the Santa Fe railroad, now on the line; the
Kiowa e.tention of the Fort Scott and
Wichita, which is almost down to lhe line;
the Chicago, Kock Island and Pacific; the
Chicago, St. Jo-eph and Fort Worth, and
the Kansas Colorado and Texas, or the
Denver and Fort AVoith extension. As
will be seen, neither St. Louis, Kansas
Citj' or any other jobbing city will have
anything like the facilities for reaching this
suddenly to be developed and tremendous
trade. These cities can reach that territory
by two or three lines only except they come
through Wichita. If by any possibility the
territory should be opened this fall to settle
ment Wichita coidd not supply the de
mand which would be made upon her
wholesale houses. If but tlie Oklahoma
district should be opened the jobbeis and
nianvfacturera of Wichita would be put to
it to keep up to the demand of that district
which lies closer by two hundred
miles to Wichita than to any other jobbing
point. That the border towns and cities
would grow and flourish is undoubtedly
true, but then there will be border towns
on both sides of the line, and all finding.
Wichita their nearest market, if she can
but maintain such a market as this tremen
dous demand must command.
Touching the rapidity with which the
Indian Territory will be finally settled
when permission is once given, and that we
are right in our estimation of it, we have
only to cite a fact patent to every observer,
and that is that there arc from one hundred
lo one thousand men. not eountinsr their
families, in even county in Kansas who
have made all arangemeuts to go into the
Indian Territory lawyers, doctors, bank
ers, town-builders, speculators, land-hungry
people, and so on, and already to go.
What is true of Kansas in this particular is.
true of Missouri, of Arkansas, and of Tex
as, and to ti limited degree of Iowa,
Nebraska, Illinois. Kentucky, Tennessee
and other states. We think the estimate of
a million people within the bounds of prob
ability. As for th time occupied in
making the settlement, or erecting a state
in a single day, one has but to reflect on the
fear that the average western man has of
getting left in any big rush.
OPENING UP OKLAHOMA.
From tho 3otou Traus-cr ipt.
Secretary Lamar has made an iuipoitant
decision affecting the right-of-way question,
in the Indian country. He has approved
the maps of the Southern Kansas railhvav,
selecting this route from north to south
across the Indian Territory from Winfield,
Kansas, to the mouth of the Big Wichita
Kivcr m i exas. I his road was granted
the right by congress at its recent session to
run its line'across the territory. As usual,
the approval of the location of the lino was
to be given by the Secretary of the Interior.
The representatives of the 'Southern Kan
sas having shown that the route
first laid out by tlie preliminarv
survey was one of diuieult construction, the
Secretary took into consideration tlie idea
of a considerable deflection to the east of
tho first location. This threw the line
within the Oklahoma country, and, the
reasons for the change being apparentlv
suflicient, with none of any weight against
it, Mr. Lamar finally sanctioned the "build
ing of a railroad through the whole length
of the Oklahoma country from north" to
south, aud some forty 'miles cast of the
first surveyed route of the Southern Kan
sas. This will inevitably open up the long
coveted Oklahoma land to settlement by the
whites. It is also thought bvsomr ihn'r tho
discretion exercised by the secretary in this
instance lays the foundation for 'granting
right of way through Indiau land" bv ex
ecutive action.
Wrtttea forth Baste.
TOE.M.C.
At that sweet hoar when poete dream,
When all k hashed around,
And earth, and air, and ocean aeem
In solemn stillneai boond,
At that sweet hoar when the son
Is seeking his soft rest.
And far o'er hill and dale glides on
To slumber in tha west
At such an hour in other climes
From childhood's scenes afar,
Methinks thoult often watch betimes
For one bright, friendly star,
And thon wilt sadly think and sigh
When last it met thy gaze;
Twas 'neath another, dearer sky,
In brighter, happier days.
And should, perchance, some gentle strain
Of music, soft and low,
Come stealing on thy ear again
That cheered thee long ago,
How sad and lonely wilt thou feel,
Tho' kindred hearts be nigh,
And o'er thy soul sweet thoughts will steal
Thou'lt weep, yet scarce know why.
Tet weep not! Grieve not! 'Tis in vain:
Such is the lot of all:
We know no pleasure without pain
Nor can the past recall.
Be thankful God hath blest thee so;
Still, shouldst thou pine and sigh
For pure and perfect bliss to know,
Hope pointeth to the sky.

The word "boom" was invented by J. B.
3IcCullaugh, of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
in booming U. S. Grant for a third
term. Champion.
The Eagle some time ago credited the
word to Governor Martin, at least the use
of ifin the connection so popular. How
ever, in 1S3S we became acquainted with a
Maine lumberman at Topeka who used the
word very frequently, and in the popular
sense in which it is now used.
Some of our Kansas exchanges are advo
cating a law compelling the publication of
all names signed on drug store applications
for spiritous liquors. The Eagle stands
ready to do this work at a fair price for
this community, but that a single familiar
name would ever be found in such lists we
very much doubt, unless some fellow
should happen to be too drunk to sign any
but his own name.
HOOSIER SOLDIERS.
A big celebration is announced at Chan
ute, Kansas, for Septernbei 10th and 11th,
especially in the interest of soldiers and
Hoosicrs. The man vriiom the fool legis
lature set down on, Frank Bacon, is presi
dent of the affair. Dan. W. Voorhces, the
Iloosier of all Hoosiers, typical and pure,
is to be there.- Senators Ingalls and
Plumb are also advertised for speeches.
Local railroad rates reduced one-half, so
says the circular.
VETERANS AT EMPORIA.
The Kansas state soldiers' reunion for
18SG has been fixed for Emporia, October
."5 to S, inclusive. The camp accommoda
tions are expected to be ample for all sol
diers, and their families and friends. For
such, as for any reason cannot go into
camp, accommodations will be provided at
the hotels and houses of Emporia. The
entire city has been canvassed and a regis
ter of places of entertainment made where
by visitors may be conveniently and
prompt!- located.
THE RED LETTER.
The American people will, and possibly
in the very near iuturc, be called upon to
meet an issue yet more grave than the labor
movement of last spring. The Chicago
anarchists are not only defiant but active.
lhe anarchi-ts are claiming that they not
only control the Knights of Labor but that
the Knights of Labor are but anarchists.
What gives color to this claim is the fact
that a "icd letter" is being sent out from
Chicago lo all the subordinate lodges, said
letter being given the local date of each as
sembly. What the contents of this "red
letter" are ha- not transpired, but the fact
that it is a "red L-tter" under the rule and
signification of tho order means an earnest
ness akin lo desperation.
For one we have the fullest confidence
in the loyalty and good sense of the great
majority of tho Knights of Labor, at least
of thoe outside of the densely ignorant
foreign element of our great cities. Still,
as lo the Chicago murderers, red letters or
110 red letter-, the lav, should triumph su
preme, and the convicted anarchists should
pay tlie penalty of its outrageous violation.
CONWAY SPRINGS.
To t.10 Clitor of tue Kaglc.
We were favored with a light shower on
Thursday night, but more is needed.
We learn through the Eagle and from
other sources that Conway Springs is aillict
ed with a great deal of sickness and many
deaths. This is one of the instances where
one gets his news away from home. We
have had a little sickness. All told there
has not been sickness in a dozen families,
and deaths in only four, and most of these
were from causes that should not have ex
isted. We do not blame the Eagle for
what was repeated to it, but it would be
well for informers to be more careful about
stating facts which are not facts. But
then, the world is full of axes to grind.

light was never east of the 3Iississippi j
river. He served in 3iissouri and Arkan-1
sas and against the Indians. Co!. 3Iarfin's j
regiment, the Eighth Kansas, was engaged
in some of the greatest and most sanguin-'
ary battles in "the south, and hr, com-'
mander was with it in all cf them, i
Tlie amount cf lighting done by this
regiment was notable. ' This becau-e it
served -a here hard fighting, and a great
deal of it, had to be done hi the single
battle of Chickamauga, where it mastered
lor the great conte-t, only -100 enlisted men
and officers combined, it lost 44 men killed
on the field and 179 -n ounded total killed
and wounded, '22'.; over one half. In the
battle cf Chickamauga Col. 3Iai tin's regi
ment sustained greater loss than 3Iooii
light's regiment did during the entire war.
In the matter of commendation of superior
ofiicers for bravery, good military judg
ment and efficient service, the official
records of the war place 3Iartin in a posi
tion that prai-c of 3ioon!ight cannot weakm
or detract from. The Eleventh Cnvalrv
was one of the best disciplined, bravest and
probably the most thoroughly Kansas regi
ment " enlisted in the .state, and
its officers, from Colonel Moonlight
down, were splendid soldiers, and
honored their state and the cause for which
they fought; hut because the Democrats
have varied their programme thi? year by
nominating a Union soldier instead of :i
Copperhead for governor, there is no need
of assuming thaf he is the only old soldier
of any deserving of reputation in Kansas.
The Democraeic pre-s are making a great
ado over the nomination of Moonlight
because he was a soldier, and -e-eking in a
noisy way to magnify his services and Jake
away from the fair fame of John A. Martin,
the patriot, and mode-t soldier, who is
Kansas' model governor. It is on account
of the display of this spirit, more than the
extract quoted at the beginning, that these
comments are made. In addition to what
we have -aid to illustrate the important
and creditable service- of Col. 3Iartin'
regiment we copy the following eloquent
paragraph in reference to the Eighth In
fantry from the "Military Hi-tory of Kan
sas regiments:"
"Few regiments in the army embraced in !
their operations so vast and varied a scope
of country as the Eighth Kansas; none
were actors in a drama more exciting and
romantic than that w hich crowded its whole
career with thrilling interest The gleam
of its bayonets was seen from Fort Lajamie,
Nebraska, to the North Carolina iim the
crack of its rifles started the echoes in the
