"Wo bee by the action of the congressional
committee that ITon. G. "W. Clement, a
member of the last Ohio legislature, but
now a rcsitlent of Wichita, has been in
vited to take part in the congressional cam
paign. Mr. Clement is an able gentleman
and a Republican of the strictest sense and
we hope he may accept.
The Burden stone quarries are develop
ing an excellent quality of stone and of
very large dimensions. It is no unusual
sight to see stone from 10 to 15 feet in
length strewn along Main street for gutter
ing purposes. Uy the way Burden is hav
ing the very best of guttering put in, and
when completed will add greatly to the ap
pearance of our streets. Burden Eagle.
This is a town which a railroad south
east from Wichita would strike.
The corn crop in the vicinity of Burden
is the best in Southern Kansas. .Many
farmers claim from 50 to CO bushels to the
acre. Taking into account the largely in
creased acreage, Burden will this year ship
more corn than in any year of her history.
The price of corn will run high, probably
25 cents per bushel is a low figure. !No
wonder our fanners feel jubilant. We
hope before the crop is moved to have a
:i competing line of road, that means not
less than 50 or 75 cents additional for every
load of corn hauled into Burden Burden
Eagle.
This but makes good the representations
of the Eagle touching the value and rich
ness of a territory that would be tapped by
a railroad riming from Wichita southeast
down to the Caney and Verdigris valley.
HE CIIAXK.
The latest candidate for newspaper glory
and success is a paper hailing from Gueua
Springs, with an illuminated head of the
world swung onto an axis to which is at
tached a crank which is beiiiu turned at a
rapid Kite by a man whoe anus are labeled
respectively progress and intelligence.
This world is being turned so fast that
poligamy, alcohol, superstition, ignorance,
prejudice, etc., like water from a whirling
grind stone, are being thrown off. The
name of the paper is "The Crank," and its
motto reads: "The Elevator of Public
Morals and llor.-e Thieves." It is publish
ed by the Crank publishing company and
edited by J. II. Berkey. The paper is to
be anti-monopoly, nnti-dyspuptie, anti
poligamy, anti-fogyism. anti-whisky, anti
anarchy and auti-cti'S'-edncss generally. For
a progressive and positive organ it Jioists a
good many negatives. But the Crank all
the .vame'taibbles over with fun.
THE EAGLE LIXE.
l'mm the Loot I Standard.
The Wichita Eagle, a pretty good
authority on railroad matters, in reviewing
the prospects of numerous railroad projects
in which that city is interested, says what
is kuown as the Eagle Line, is to be ex
tended to a connection with the Salina and
Western, which will reach the west line of
the state in another year. This is one of
the roads for which we have been hurrah
ing ever since hist fall, and this evidence
of our correct judgment calls for another
healthy whoop for the Eagle Line.
THE FIRE IIKICK PAVEMENT.
From the Atchison Champion.
Wishing to hear from borne disinterested
source the construction and merits of the
fire brick pavement. The Champion ad
dressed its inquiry to Mr. W. H. Allison,
editor of the Ohio Press, at Stcubcnville.
From Mr. Allison's reply we take the fol
lowing: 'The cost of lire brick pavement at
Steuben ville is 95 cents er square yard,
providing the excavation i not than one
foot if more, cost more pro rata, if le?s,
less in same proportion The brick
used are the ordinary lire
brick, solid, well burned, no patent or roy
alty. Foundation, gravel, graded and
rolled firm and evenly. The bricks are
put down on their sides or edges, not laid
Hat. A square on Third street has been
down for two rears and looks about the
Rime as when laid down; is little worn and
c:m be easily and cheaply repaired when
needed. The pavement is very iiaudsome
and pleasant to drive over. The cost of
brick is $10 per 1,000.
The Republicans of the S"2d district,
Sedgwick county, have made an excellent
nomination for representative, Hon. Ro
dolph Hatfield, the present incumbent hav
ing been renominated. Mr. Hatfield will
make a valuable member. In the 84th dis
trict Mr. A. H. Carpenter was nominated
ou Saturday. Ho is well qualified, and
will faithfully represent the new constitu
ency formed by the last legislature. Com

HON. W. W. WAMTOX.
The news of Wirt Walton's untimely
death was of the very saddest. One of
Kansas' particularly bright and successful
young men, who if ambitious was still con
scientious, was hurled from the fair pedes
tal of his own building and his, life and its
hopes and all of its great promises at once
were suddenly and Tuthlessly destroyed.
There seems no plea, no reason for such a
calamity. Throughout the entire state
yesterday morning, and from the hearts of
a thousand strong men were forced words
of sorrow tinged with the bitter reflection
that such a calamity could occur. The
writer has known Wirt W. Walton for
years and for ever since when as a mere
boy he made himself felt among the
stronger and older men of Cowley county,
his former home, and few young men of
Kansas have ever acquitted themselves
with more honor, and few if any possessed
as fair prospects for coming usefulness as
a prominent man.
From the Commonwealth we cliD the
following brief biography:
Wirt W. Walton was born in Sciotovilie,
Scioto county, Ohio, May 21, 1852. His
earlv childhood was spent in Lawrence
countv, Ohio, and in 1800 he remowed to
Walton township, Labette county, this
state. In 1871 he removed to Cowley
county, and was almost immediately elect
ed county surveyor. He served in this po
sition for a number of years. In 1873 he
was elected journal clerk of the Kansas
house of representatives, and in 1870 he
enlisted in the border war. He served
through the struggle, escaping without m
jury. In 1875 he became connected with
the Winfield Courier, and alo acted as
deputy postmaster in that city. In 1S77 he
was unanimously elected chief clerk of the
house of representatives, re-elected in 1879
and 1881. In 18S2 he served as a member
of tiie lower house, representing
Clav county, to which coun
ty he had removed, having
purchased the Clay Center Dispatch, In
that legislature he' was chairman of the
wmvr mid ma-ins committee, the most im
portant position which a member of the
house could hold. In 1884 he received a
Republican nomination from the Clay Cen
ter district, but in the interest of harmony
and party unity he withdrew from the race.
In 1884 he served :is secretary of the Re
publican .state central committee. In 1886
lie was a delegate to the Republican state
convention, and was elected secretary. He
was again chosen a member of the central
cfflmmitee, but a short time after his election
he declined. He was on July 29th chosen
chairman of the convention which nomina
ted John A. Anderson for congress at Clay
Center. In the present campaign which is
now on in the Fifth district, 3lr. Walton
identified himself with the Anderson men,
aud at all times his fight was manly and
honorable.
WHO KIDNAPPED SAM WOOD?
To the Editor of the Eagle.
In the case of Sam Wood and Price
versus Hugolon which is now being tried
in the court of public opinion and in the
newspapers, the paintift's have for several
days been noisily proclaiming their version
of the caMj while little or nothing litis been
said in behalf of the defense.
As a matter of course the public is
amazed at the story of the kidnapping.
People very naturally wondered how so
criminal an act could be perpetrated by the
citizens of Ilugotoiij under any circum
stances, and it is all the more a matter of
surprise when it is considered that the kid
napping of the above named gentlemen
could not aid Hutroton m the contest for
the county seat, but on the contrary could
injure their cause by alienating the public
sympathy.
Many best acquainted with Mr. Wood
have never believed that he was kidnapped
and it is an open secret generally believed
here that Mr. Woods disappearance was a
matter of his own devising. His county
project to any one elbc than the irrepressi
ble Sam would have been considered hope
less. Long .after the location of the county
seat at Ilugoton seemed tm assured fact,
Wood with his company of professional
county seat makers appeared upon the
scene and started Woodsdalc in an almost
inaccessible portion of the sand-hills several
miles from the center of the county. It
was anj'thing but a desirable site, being the
refuse of the :j,000 quarter sections that
comprise Stevens county.
It is not claimed, that the above facts
would interfere with Mr. Wood's right to
start a town, and the necessity of his get
ting up some scheme that will furnish a
basis for legal proceedings, and cause de
lay in the organization of the county.
At the time the election was called for
the locating of a permanent county scat,
the only improvement in Woodsdale was
one box shanty about sixteen feet square.
Ilugoton had many large and permanent
buildings and several hundred inhabitants,
uid we tire asked to believe that to sup
press their rival town the people of Hugo
ton stooped to the commission of a grave
crime.
On the other hand it is stated and be
lieved that Mr. Wood laid the plans for
his own capture; that he told ti citizen of
Ilugoton that he was tired of the light and
that if he could get out of it without ap
pearing to abandon those who were inter
ested with him in Woodsdalc, he would do
so; that he chose the route by which he
should be taken away; that the route was
known before his disappearance to some of
the members of the party that went in pur
suit. In short, it is believed upon good ev
idence, that the name of Sam Wood's ab
ductor is Sam Wood. The proceedings
against the Ilugoton people showed symp
toms of preparations having been made for
thc trial before the alleged kidnapping
took place
It may be said that it is no credit to the
people of Ilugoton that they fell so readily
into the trap. But it should be remember
ed that Mr. Wood's well known ability to
kiok up a disturbance, made his voluntary
absence at this time very desirable, and
they unwisely allowed him to choose his
own route. Had they taken him in some
other direction the brave fifty who pursued
according to the pre-arranged program
would still be wandering among the Pan
handles, eagerly consulting the map of the
route previously prepared by Mr. Wood
for their guidance, and wondering how
they niissed their bearings.
But Hugoton was too'confiding, and as
a result the rival town of Woodsdale con
sisting of a few box shanties and a barrel
of water hauled from the nearest well,
three miles distant, has received bushels of
misplaced sympathy and columns of free
advertising. " Disentkrested.
CHISFIELD ITEMS.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Here we come again with a few more
items of news from our prosperous town.
Yes, we can say prosperous in good faith,
for we arc at present enjoying a substan
tial boom. We do not make a big splurge
one day and then die down for six months,
but we are growing slowly all the time.
Our prospects for one more railroad are
getting brighter and brighter as the days
roll round. We expect before many days
to have a proposition from the Fort Scott
and Wichita railroad submitted to our peo
ple, and there can be no doubt that it will
be strongly supported. We are on a direct
line for the above mentioned road between
Anthony and Medicine Lodge and we can
offer some good inducements for this road
to cross here.
We want to say a few words about our
business men. In no town did we ever see
a more enterprising class of men. They
are always ready to help any new enter
prise that will prove advantageous to the
country. Never sleeping; they are ever
ready to watch the best interests of our
town and community.
There was between 5,000 and $0,000 of
property changed hands in our town the
past week, and the prospects are very flat
tering for some fine buildings to be erected
this fall. Mot all of the sales are made
through the Courier land agency, and they
arc doing tome good work for the town.
School cemmences next Monday.
We were blessed with a fine rain on last
Friday which again makes the farmers su
premely happy.
The G. A. R. post of this city is making
great preparations to hold a camp fire and
grand ball the middle of this month. All
the neighboring posts are to be cordially
invited.
Mr. Drcssel, traveling for the Wichita
Wholesale house, was in our city the past
week, ne received a very liberal patron
age from our merchants.
We are in hopes that the time is not far
distant when we shall have direct connec
tion by rail with the metropolis of southern
Kansas, Wichita.
Land seekers are flocking into our coun
try at a rapid rate. Let them come. There
is room for all.
There is one branch of business that our
city is sorely in need of an agricultural
implement store. When our farmers want
machinery they have to go to Anthony or
Harper for it. We cannot imagine why it
is that some enterprising man does not see
to this matter and oden such a branch of
business.
There is no doubt that our county will
give a large majority to the Republican
nominees at the election this fall. The mat
ter is being very well worked up and is sure
to win.
Wc will in our next endeavor to give a
sketch of our town and country in regard
to the location and advantages we have.
Choctaw.
HAUl'Ei:.
To the Editor of the Eagltf.
Iii spite of the weather predictions last
week,. this section, in common with most of
the border counties east, received a soaking
rain on Friday night.
Great preparations arc being made for the
fair here October Gth, 7th and Sth, aud the
indications now are that it will be the best
ever held in the county.
Prof. A. Gridlcy is busy furnishing his
house aud preparing for the opening of
schools next Monday.
The writer was pleased to notice that Mr.
Chidibter, an old school mate, is to have
charge of the Wichita schools the coming
year. Mr. C. is certainly one of the great
est workers in the state. By the way, I
hear a good many humorous remarks at
the expense of the Wichita board of edu
cationthe idea of employing a superin
tendent, who by virtue of his office is chair,
man of the board of examiners, and then
requiring him to submit to an examination!
The impression is that Wichita has dis
charged some of the best educators in the
state and is very hard to to please.
The new Baptist church was dedicated
yesterday by Rev. J. II. Reider, of Win
field, assisted b' a of other ministers, in
cluding Rev. Edwards, of the Anthony
Baptist church, and Rev. J. M. Wright, of
the Harper, Presbyterian church. Nearly
$3,300 was raised, which more than liqui
dates the entire debt. Their building is
certainly well arranged and commodious
church.
Work is progressing on the city water
works. The water to be used is from a
stream fed by springs, west of town a mile,
and on the opposite side from the drainage
of the citv.
The Emporia Base ball club played the
the Harper club yesterday and today for
the championship of the state. Yesterday's
game resulted 8 to 4 in favor of Emporia;
todav 11 to 1 in favor of Emporia. Xot
attending either game we are unable to give
any particulars or explain the cause of
Harper's defeat. There was considerable
talk of having the Harper boys arrested for
playing on Sunday, but we understand the
matter wtis compromised by the boys prom
ising not to repeat the offense. While
playing ball is perhaps no worse than many
other Sunday indulgences, it is an in
fringement on Sunday quiet and Sunday
laws, and is offensive to a large element
and should not be indulged in. G-.
TO Till: POINT.
The Chicago Intcr-Occan publishes the
following interview with Hon. Thomas
Ryan, our member of congress from this
district. It is short, but to the point and
thoroughly covers the situation of political
affairs In this state:
"Congressman Thomas Ryan, of Kansas,
arrived at the Grand Pacific yesterday with
his family. He has been honie from Wash
ington for two weeks, and during that
time has been looking over the political
field. He says that there is no doubt about
the re-election of Governor John A. Mar
tin; that his opponent ou the Democratic j
ticket, Mr. Moonlight, will not make a
strong run. Kansas, at present, has not
one Democratic congrtssman, the seven be
ing Republicans, ana Mr. Ryan says they
will all be re-elected this fall. The only
contest, and that bids fair of being a strong
one, is in the Ffth districe, held by Con
gressman J. A. Anderson for eight years.
At the convention Mr. Wilson was nomin
ated, and many of the Republicans are op
posed to him, and have determined to rc-
REAL ESTATE!

"Wichita,
turn Mr. Anderson if their votes will do it.
Mr. Ryan predicts that the prohibition vote
in Kansas will be light. St. John, he says,
will ba active, but the sincere and really
faithful temperance men, Mr. Ryan claims",
pin their fuith to the Republican
party. He said that they had constitution
til and legislative prohibition in Kansas,
and that is the child of the Ropublican par
ty. He claims that now prohibition in
Kansas is a cardinal policy of the Republi
can party. The third party, Mr. Ryan
says, is nothing else but a Democratic an
nex, its vowed purpose being to destroy the
Republican party and to enthrone the Dem
ocratic. Blaine's speech he considered
strong and vigorous, and added that they
were truly characteristic of the man, who
is undoubtedly the greatest leader this
country had produced in modern shape.
He said that it was too far ahead to pre
dict for 18SS.
THE RLYIXG EAGLE
From the Eureka Kcpubllcau.
The Wichita Daily Eagee conies to us
regularly, and it is a welcome visitor.
The writer lemembers when three men
and two bo3s did all the mechanical work
ou that journal, himself one of the former.
JNow the business has assumed such gigan
tic proportions that it requires an army of
men to manage its various departments.
In addition to the good editorial and local
pages, the Eagle publishes the full asso
ciated press reports and a list of the best
miscellaneous matter of any paper reach
ing this office, and it is the largest paper in
the state, being eight large, well printed,
well filled pages. The business men appre
ciate it, as is evidenced by the abundance
of advertising matter it contains.
The Eagle is the only daily which
reaches here on Sunday the same day it is
published, which makes it invaluable. To
Col. M. M. Murdock more than anyone
else Is the success of this paper attributable.
He has been steadfast in his efforts to make
it the best paper in Kansas and hasdoneso.
Not only this, but Marsh Murdock has had
more to do with the phenominal growth of
Wichita than any other man there. It is
no more than right for the citizens of that
city to make him some substantial testi
monial of their appreciation of his efforts,
and the have done so in flying his Eagle
higher than any other paper in the state.
The Wichita Eagle is our most wel
come exchange. It would be superfluous
for us to add to the already long list of fa
vorable notices that the Eagle has so rich
ly earned. We freely endorse their very
flattering notices. Some forty-six copies of
the daily Eagle are taken in our city. Our
citizens appreciate the paper and also value
the efforts Mr. Murdock is putting fourth
to secure the railroad from Wichita via
Burden to the southeast, a road of vital in
terest to Wichita and Burden, and let us
add right here, we will get that road dead
sure. Burden Eve.
