Our Little Men and "Women and Bahyland, of which an extended review will be given later in our columns. The announcement of this enterprising firm for the holidn' season comprise many choice and valuable books for readers of all ages, from picture books for little two-year-olds up to grandfather's solid works. Their as sortment of sets is also very complete, and their gift books for the Christmas season are especially rich and beautiful. D. Loth rop & Co.'s line of juvenile publications is unsurpassed. A catalogue of all their pub lications will be supplied by our booksell ers, free, on application. STEVENS COUNTY. The authorities will make a grave mis take if, through Sam "Wood's maneuvers, Stevens county is disorganized. There is no doubt that the required number 6f peo ple are there with sufiicicnl taxable prop erty, and, to spare, to entitle the county to an organization of its own. HIGHLY" COMPLIMENTARY. Upon his nomination for rc-elcctiou as representative to the legislature, Hon. Ro dolph Hatfield received the following high ly complimentary letter from Governor Martin, of which Mr. R. has kindly con sented to furnish the Eagle a copy: State ok Kansas, Executive Dep't., ) Topeka, Sept. C, 1SSG. j" My Dear Hatfield. I heartily congratulate you on your de served rcnomination. The Republicans of Wichita are to be congratulated, no less heartily, on the good judgment they have exhibited iu giving you a rcnomina tion by acclamation. A great and pros perous city ought to be represented in the legislature of the state by a mau who dem onstrated his ability, integrity and useful ness, and this, as I am sure all your col leagues will testify, you did during the lat sessions of 1SS 3 and 18SG. Yours very truly, John A. Martin. THE MIDLAND? The fact has been alluded to before by this paper but the fight being made by the Democratic papers on Governor Martin's military record and life is such a strained and contemptible one that it is hard for those who have known Governor Martin since his youth to remain silent. However successful Governor Martin may have proved as an editorial writer, and the solid ity of his work iu that direction has never been question, still, and nevertheless, the name he achieved as the boy-colonel from Kansas, the fame he won as a soldier and commander have been not only the particu lar gratification of his friends, but from what we know of the man we believe that such achievements and fame are his special pride. Then how foolish the fight bein, made bv these Democrats, not one in a hundred of whom were in the army them selves, and not one in a thousand of whom were residents of Kansas during the war. If Governor Martin has a right to be more proud of any one thing than another among the many tilings which go to make up his honorable life, it is his military rec ord, that very portion of his life against which such a pusilanimous fight is being made. And that pride which is so univer sally shared by his friends rests on a found ation as solid and undefaceabie as the rock of Gibralter, either as the colonel of his regiment or the commander of his brigade. From the time he was mustered in 1861 un til the end of the war he was never absent from his command for more than thirty- five days all told, and was never absent from it during a single battle or skirmish. He commanded his regiment during the Buell campaign, and in the battles of Perry ville and Lancaster, in the campaign against Tullahoma, the campaign against Chatta nooga, the battles of Chicamaugua, the siege of Chattanooga, the storming of Miss ion Iiidge, the battle at Orchard Knob, the campaign to Knoxville, the long campaign against Atlanta, and the subsequent pur suit of nood, including the battles of Kene- saw .Mountain, the faniyrna L-amp, tne Chattahoochee, Peach Tree creek, Atlanta and at Snake Creek Gap. In other words, in looking up the record of his command, Ave find Governor Martin heading it in eighteen campaigns and bat tles. "When the mean whelps who, solely for a partisan advantage, so deliberately lie about such a record as that of Governor Martin's, and all for the purpose of mis leading people who arc new to the state, we are almost forced to the conclusion that there is nothing the Democratic party will not do ta gain an advantage. No ex-soldier citizen of Kansas, what ever he may have been, however high or low his rank, or however long he may have continued in service, can show a more honorable, patriotic and consistently loyal record than that of Governor John A. Martin. favor in the tenth inning, notwithstanding the winning nine was scored on the bat of the third man put out.

Then to cap the climax, the Clippers paid all their own expenses while there, not even a man offering to show them around the city. A return game "will be played here next Friday for $100 a side, when the result will be different. J. O. Hazelton returned Friday from Jamestown, X. Y. Quite a number of ex cursionists arrived here from the east, look ing at the country. The Ft. Scott extension from Anthony is like Sfrs. Micawber and family, in "statue quo," since the bond defeat in Blaine and Eagle. It is understood that new propositions will sood be submitted in ( those counties, which will undoubtedly carry. So mote it be. R. Follett is back in "Western New York lookiDg after his business interests there, ne will be absent two or three weeks. A. H. Peck is rapidly recovering from his recent serious accident the kick of a horse. His many friends will be pleased to see him at his post soon. Dr. J. B. Hungate, of Edinburg, Ind., has located here for the practice of his pro fession. Success to him. Engineer Kellogg, of the mill force, has under course of erection a neat residence in ' the west part of the city. J. B. Blyholder is erecting a large resi dence in the south part of town. School will open next week in the old building, with Misses Ada Skilling and Maggie "Wiggins as wielders of the birch. Another teacher will probably be employed later in the season. Pendennis. REAL ESTATE! -THE LATEST IS - Mr. Sullivan, the manager of the Enter prise Publishing company, who is getting up a review of Deliver, writes us f i om that city that there is no such life or boom in that ctiy as is enjoyed by Wichita. Chica go and Kansas City are the only towns of the west where Wichita life can be duplicated. KANSAS STATE MILITIA. The Second Annul Encampment of the Kansas National Guard, at Fort Riley. Engineer II. L. ,lack.on, wlio h:us just been over the proposed line of the Midland railway says for the fir.t one hundred miles he thinks it will be the easiest line constructed that he ever had anything to do with, lie did not find over six miles over which there would be the least trouble, and that six six miles is not worse than- the average Kansas grade. The people of Rice and Ellsworth counties are paiticu larly wide awake as to the advantages of a connection with Wichita. They say that Wichita will undoubtedly bo their future hog, grain and cattle market, and their de sire to reach such market at the earliest d ay is a laudable one to say the least. Ells worth on the U. P., will be one hundred and forty miles nearer Wichita than Kan sas City. Even Jewell county, in the northern tier of the state, will be nearer Wicl:4ta than Kansas City, or even nearer Wichita thau Atchison or St. Joseph. ROAD TAX. To tho Editor of the Eagle. I thought the request of our honorable trustee J 7 C. Davis superintended a gang of men sent into this township by the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Co., to work out road tax. I found it had become a science with them to get in their time with the least possible work. I wish to kuow whether we are com pelled to receive this tax in this wav or not? Can not said tax be paid into the treasury and our own citizens and tax payers hirori to do this labor? The money would not then be paid to strangers to be carried away out of the county or perhaps out of the !?tatc. E. N. Winders. Wc are not sufficiently posted to proper ly answer the forgoing; at least we kuow nothing of how the railroads pay their road taxes. It is our observation that a large per cent of tax payers dodge their road tax or give a very poor equivalent for it. If 1 the railroads work it out or pay for its working out it strikes us that they arc mak ing a pretty fair average of it. Ed. Eagle. To the Editor of the Eagle. Peace and contentment reiijns in this lit tle city by the waters. Perhaps in the re gion of some drnir house this may not be so, as it is rumored that some permits have been cancelled. What is it in the Wichita water that so effects some Augustans when they visit that metropolis to attend cicusesand K. of L. demonstrations. Its effects arc very similar to the ancient influences of beer garden surroundings, Either your system of water supply must be improved or big circus and K. of L. parades be transferred to the precincts of purer water supply, or some Augustans must be kept at home, or else wc must "tell on them." Today the Banner hotel on rollers departs for Santa Fe street to give place to a new and more imposing structure. One by one the old laud marks depart but the general verdict is, "Let 'er go in peace," or iu pieces, just as the occasion may require. The Catholics arc rapidly constructing a new "parsonage" or "priestage" (which is it?) on their beautiful grounds in this city near their church. Health continues good, doctors despond ent, there general lamentation being, it is distressingly healthy. Our school is "abundantly full'' that is of "kids." It is said that two additional teachers will be employed in addition to the seven already employed. It is the correct style here for attornies to t at c afternoon lunch with the wife in their office while their "kids" and "kidesscss" run bareheaded and barefooted and hello-bc-iear over the commons; whether well-fed or not "Zckc" can't say. now's that for style? Wichita pettifoggers take note and if the "punk" isn't all out of them they might in their suburban retreat, imitate our metropolitan "airs," but let them be informed, that Augusta "Blackstones" are gentry of no mean pretensions, and compe tent to set patterns in "airs." Whew! Just gently intrude yourself so as to slacken our pace. In other words, "head us off." We can't boast of so many new railroad en terprises as you Wichita fellows blow about, but our lawyers can down yours for style, and we dare you to dispute it. Yes, and our doctors and business men have more pluck "in 'em" too, but it costs them a trip up to the captain s office for instruc tions and he charges them $4.7o for the in terview. But then it keeps money circu latiw; you know, aud that suits the Green backers and K's. of L., and the druggists furnished the "ile" to start the fun, so" all were made happy, except the poor grocery man. and he had to furnish the "stamps" for "ile" and to pay for inspection in the police court.
