SUNDAY MORNING. OCT. 31. 1SSC.
TO THE KEl'UBblCAXS OF SEDGWICK
COUNTY.
Your
ceiitrnl Coinialtteo deem it
proper at tho close of the campaign
to call your attention particularly
to oar county ticket uud to give somo
reasons irhy it should receive your support.
It -was nominated by the largest and most
harmonious delegate convention ever assem
bled in tho county. A convention of repre
sentative men of your own choosing; a con
vention in which every man was free to vote
for the candidate of his choice, o charge
have ever been brought against any candi
date reflecting on his personal character or
his fitness for tho oflico for which ho was
nominated.
Tho candidate for Probate Judge, Mr. E.
B. Jewett, has in the past given entire satis
faction in tho management of this most im
portant office. Under his administration no
estates have been squandered or wasted by
excessive charges; always protecting tho in-tsi-osts
of that most unfortunate class, the
widows and orphans. And that ho has been
accommodating and painstaking in the dis
charge of his duties is conceded by everyone.
Tho only argument used against Mr. Jewett
is his long term of office; but when we take
into consideration that no party has ever
adopted the rule of changing Judicial officers
as long as they iwrform their duties satisfac
tory, it would seem to us that the argument
is in his favor and should recommend him
to the cordial support of all. If however tho
objection is entitled to any weight it should
bo borne in mind as an offset that his oppo
nent has held oflico continously almost as
long as Mr. Jewett has, and an office that
pays equally as well as tho oflico of Probate
Judge, and he now asks you to retire a
worthy and efficient officer solely upon the
grounds that ho may bo continued in office.
"Wo are of tho opinion that no Republican
who will carefully investigate this matter
will opposa Mr. Jewett or withhold his sup
port on account of this argument as it ap
plies with equal forco to both candidates.
Our candidate for District clerk, Mr. A.
Wright, has had long experience in clerical
positions, and is well iitted for tho oflico of
clerk of District Court It requires a person
who has had experience in clerical work, and
it is concecded that Mr. "Wright is fully qual
ified for the plaee.
G. "W. C. Joued, our candidate for County
Attorney, is well known throughout
tho count as a lawyer of fino ability, w ho
by his own efforts has made his way to the
front ranks at a bar in which somo of the
ablest lawyers of the state aro engaged in
practice. In him the county will havo a safe
counselor and a vigorous prosecutor.
Hr. D. S. Pence, the candidate for county
superintendent, is a tc.ic-her and superintend
ent of schools of long experience. The Dem
ocratic party nominated no one against him.
Ho will make a capable and efficient officer
and will visit all tho schools. -
Mr. T. II. Randall, candidate for county
commissioner, is one of tho oldest settlers of
Sodgwlck county, an upright aud honorablo
gentleman of sterling integrity and a man of
superior business qualifications, possessing
all the business tact necessary in the dis
charge of this most important office. Mr.
Randall will make a safe guardian of Sedg
wick county's interests.
Mr. R. K. Hatfield, candidate for repre
sentative in tho eighty-second district, was
nominated without opposition in tho conven
tion. Ho has had two years' legislative ex
perience and has established a reputation
that causes him to bo recognized as one of
tho leading members of tho house.
3Ir. R. U. Lawrcnco, candidate for repro
eontativo in tho eighty-third district, has had
two years' legislative experience. So well
has ho pleased tha pcoilo that tho Democratic
party has nominated no one against him.
His election is conceded.
Mr. A. II. Carpenter, candidate for repre
sentative in the eighty-fourth district, -is the
only candidate from the country on tho tick
et Ho is an old resident of Sodgwick coun
ty. No question as to his ability to make an
efficient legislator has been raised. Tho first
ivard in tho city is in his district and tho Re
publicans of that ward ought to givo him
their entire support. It is a duty they owe
to tho country, which has always supported
tho city candidates.
InruBLiCAX Central Committee.
The Deacon .still neglects, worse, refuses
to explain how its candidate for attorney
came to leave Ohio when he did.
The Republicans who have been coaxed
into the notion of"" scratching Ed Jewett
want to remember that besides the fact that
he was Mi ly nominated by the Republi
can convention, that there is in all things
an elemeni of fair play that 3Ir. Thomas
will have to resign a good oflico before he
can enter upon the duties of the office of
probate judge that the result of this elec
tion makes no difference to him. Tic has
an office whichever way it goes.
The Grecnsburg Rustler, a Democratic
paper of southwest Kansas, is raid
ing fault with Judge Peters for not open
ing the Territory three or four years ago.
Well, yes. Rut if the judge had done so,
where would the Rustler or its town have
liccu, or where would have been scores of
now flourishing towns in southwest Kan
sas? They would have been in the womb
01 1 uc luiure, unporn ami not even
dreamed of. One objection now to open
ing the Territor would Imj the tendency to
depopulate western Kansas, which is a
better country than Oklahoma. TIicEvcle
on that solo crouad fought the nronositiou
of opening tho Territory for four or live
vears.
NO I'OWEK TO 1'UNISH.
Baron Rcuteru, who was killed the other
day by the czar of Russia, is the brother of
a young lady to whom the czar's brother,
the Grand Duke Alexis, was secretly mar
ried while his father was yet on the throne.
Naturally the imperial family was decid
edly worked yp about the marriage, and
the czar declared it null and void. Not
withstanding ttife Alexis lived with his
bride uutil f-hc had borne him three child
ren, by which lime his love had cooled
sufficiently to permit of a separation. The
brother, after this separation, was advanced
at court to the post of chamberlain, aud
continued in the position uuder the present
czar, whose love for him was, however,
none too strong. It is surmised that the
czar killed him in a fit of ungovernable
fury, for some cause, instead of because of
foar as at first reported.

Apart from the vulvar cackling brood,
An eaglet pined his earthly lot:
And mourned tho fate which mado his home
One far from what in dreams he sought.
When suddenly a shadow fell
Athwart the" sunlight, and there came
A shape; oh, wonderful to tell
That this, and his could be the same.
It told otlwundless depths of space,
Of worlds Iwyond our little sky
How he could meet, as face to face
The sun's might with undazzled eyo
Of races proud, long gone from earth,
Forgotten, and in ages past
Had seen that mighty ruin's birth
That holds its secret dark and fast.
It touched hii untaught pinions, when
An impulse thrilled them, ne'er beforo
In boldest visions had he dared,
To dream of realms he now explore.
Up, Up, his guide in easy flight
JSoou teaches him the wondrous path,
He bathes in soft and tender light
Above the fierce tornado's wrath.
He floats among the cloudlet dim
And revels in tho new delight,
He shakes the vapors from his wings
And seeks tho mountain's rugged height.
There in the frowning precipico
Tho evrie reached, his trial done;
His dreams a real and new found bliss;
Tho eaglet rests, his home is won.

THE DEMOCK-VTSt ICON.
The little row occurring in the Demo
cratic central committee this week, over
the names, of what independent candi
dates should go on their ticket and what
ones should be left off, it seems was no lit
tle row after all, but one of huge propor
tions. That committee's assumption that
it owned the foreign vote, especially the
Irish Catholic vote, didn't pan out, espec
ially as the candidate, a particularly bright
Catholic star, had been ignoied. Well, we
can't see as it witl make any difference :is not
a single nominee on the Democratic ticket
stands the ghost of a show of being elected.
Republicans are Republicans about this
time of year aud Republicans are not round
voting mugwump and Democratic tickets
with Grovcr Cleveland and his outrageously
expensive) Democratic administration run
ning things on a fice trade guage to de
struction. Wc all like our neighbors as
neighbors, but when wc know that a neigh
bor is wrong we are not going to go wrong
too simply because it is our neighbor.
Therefore let the Democrats have out their
own fight and among themselves as it won't
effect the vote of a single Republican in the
count-.
THE INDIAN TEUIUTOKY QUESTION.
Editorially, wc feel, about the best thing
that could be said this morning in the
Eagle would be in the way of an endorse
ment of Commissioner Atkins' recommen
dations touching the Indian question, at
least that portion of it appearing in our dis
patches of yesterday morning, wherein he
sat down on the proposition of ever remov
ing the five civilised tribes. To remove
thee people or to attempt to move them,
would not only be a blunder but a crime.
There is another feature of the commission
er's report which meets our approval, and
that is that the Kiowas, Comanches, Wich
itas, Cheycnnes and Arapahoes now quar
tered around Sill, Reno and Cantonment,
all be removed cast of the 98th longitudi
nal line. We would name 97. There
is plenty of room for these
last named tribes cast of the 97th, and still
not defraud or crowd the five civilized
tribes. From the 97th Avest wc would
throw open to settlement, and from 97th
cast permit the building of railroads. The
railroads and the civilized tribes would
.soon settle the question for the wild tribes
who after all are more lazy than wild.
The commissioner is off on his proposed
treaty scheme by a congressional commit
tee. There is no call for such flummery.
As for the Oklahoma district, it would be
better to include it in the part to be opened,
for which reason the line 98, designated by
the commissioner is too far '.vest.
It is said that Mr. Cleveland has a won
derful stiff backbone and that he is bent
on holding the Indian Territory us it is,
and that he has a policy which he is con
vinced, if carried out, would make the
Indian average up well with western men
generally; but Cleveland was never west,
besides, if his vertebra was Bessimer steel
it would have to yield on this Indian ques
tion, at least to that part of it which per
tains to the proposition of opening the In
dian Territory to settlement. Iho Terri
tory as it is held today is a great bar lo the
proper dcvclment of Kansas aud Texas,
and it must be opened, especially opened
to the construction of railways and to con
sequent settlement.
DOOEITTIiE ON JONES.
To the Editor ot the Kaslc:
In yestci day's Eagle there was consid
erable space devoted to the election of
county attorney. Some people may think
from this that an extra effort is being made
to elect our candidate, Geo. C. W. Jones.
To such I waut to say that Mr. Jones hob
bled out on his lame feet, and in spite of
the prediction of some of our tviscacna
that he would not get there. Tho Repub
licans of this county were practically unan
imous for him in convention When Geo.
W. C. Jonis was nominated aud appealed
before the immense crowd assembled in
the opera house hat . day, no successful
candidate ever nominated in this county by
any party or by any other convention ever
received
such a hearty, uprorious,
thundering ovation. That dem
onstration was the hearty ap
proval of men from every school
district in this county, to the nomination
of upright, energetic, big-hearted George
W. C. Jones for county attorney of Sedg
wick county. Those men will be at overy
voting precinct on election day, with their
admiration of and loyalty to their favorite
candidate undiminished, and Geo. W. C.
Jones will be overwhelmiugiy electa!.
There need be no fear of that. Just whoop
up the other candidates and keep them up
with Jones and all will be "well.

MELODY FROM MEADE,
The W histlo of tho Locomotive Soon
to be Heard in the Yalley of
Crooked Creels.'
THE JtOCK ISLAND 19 CO3UN0.
To tie Editor of the Eagle.
After having won the premium over all the
new counties of Kansas for the best agri
cultural display at the Garden City fair,
Meade county might with safety have
rested upon her laurels. But her people
are not built that way, and without stop
ping to take breath they are pressing on to
other and greater victories.
From the earliest settlement of Meade
county the eyes of railroad managers havo
been turned toward her as the most available
importance have solicited aid here but
their overtures have been rejected because
they did not offer trunk line facilities.
What Meade Center and Meado county
wants is
TRUNK LINES.
While a feeder for the Banta Fe road
might be beneficial in some degree it
might also- be the means of preventing
their securing a through line much more
desirable. Time has proven the wisdom
of this policy, as the people of this section
have now the opportunity of as good
through line facilities as any road in the
country can give.
Yesterday Colonel R. L. Walker, of
Wichita, and Mr. Vermillion, railroad at
torney, arrived here with propositions to
extend the Chicago and Rock Island road
through Meade county in the event of the
people subscribing to the capital stock of
the company 120,000; the length of the
proposed road through the county lwing
forty miles.
There arc many reasons for believing
this lo be the most desirable road the peo
ple can secure. In the first place it brings
In a third great line of road to compete with
the Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe. Anoth
er st-ong reason for favoring the Jloek
Island road is the policy which has always
controlled the company in its dealings with
the people. More than any other power
ful corporation perhaps, the Chicago fc
Rock Island has sought to secure the good
will of its patrons. Where it enjoys a
monopoly of the track it docs not use the
power to extortion, but gives to localities
along its lines which have no other railroad
facilities, nearly the same rates as com
peting points. Still another strong argu
ment in favor of this road is the great
lengths of ltd lines and the num
ber of important points it reaches.
The passenger -who boards the cars at Meade
Center, West Plains or Fowler can without
changing to any other system of roads
reach Wichita, Topeka, Kansas City, St.
Joseph, Omaha, Keokuk, St. Louis, Chi
cago and many other intermediate points of
importance. The producer and the ship
per can without transfer reach the best
trade center on the western continent, aud
by having access to the dealers in all the
localities, will be at the mercy of none of
them.
The construction of the Chicago & Rock
Island road lo this point will not interfere
with" the construction of othci projected
lines but rather h:istcu them.
Tim Southern Kansas via. Ashland, the
Wichita & Trinidad road and the proposed
line from . Dodge City will re
ceive substantial encouragement,
but just now the people enthusias
tically working for the Rock Island.
Petitions calling for an election to vote
on subscribing to the stock of the road
have not been in circulation for more than
tweuty-four hours and nearly the requisite
number of signatures have been secured.
The petition will not be presented, how
ever, until signed by a largo majority of
the taxpayers of the county. The propo
sition will carry with it little or no opposl-
sition and before another year rolls
round there will bo on the banks
of crooked creek, in the .heart
of Meade county, whick rivals Sedgwick iu
feitility of soil and natural resources, a sec
ond Wichita with prospects almost as
bright as those of tho Wichita that sits so
proudly in the midst of her rich corn fields
on the banks of the Arkansas.
The name of the new metropolis of the
southwest is Meade Center. Mc.

I LAZEETON HAPPENINGS.
To Uie Editor ot tho ITalc.
About every time your regular corres
pondent gets ready to send iu a budget of
news lately he finds that some one else
from here has undertaken to do his work
for him. However, by giving the news as
briefly as possible we will try to say some
thing when wc write.
The genial A. B. Reed, representing the
Turf, Field and Farm, spent several days
here this week, "writing up the vicinity.
J. R. Trumbull, senior member of the
firm of Trumbull, Reynolds & Co., Kansas
City scedmen, was in the city on business
tills week.
Foot ball has supplanted base bail in the
affections of our boys, both old and young.
It is a healthy and invigorating sport, un
less, as is frequently the case, you kick
where the ball was a second before. Then
it i3 liable to tear a fellow into pieces.
News was received here this morning of
a most diabolical murder, committed in
Campbell's pasture, shortly south of the
Harper county line, iu the Territory, last
nicrht. Names are inaccessible to your
scribe, but his best information is as fol
lows: The murdered map, in company
with a boy IS or 19 years old, came to An
thony the other day. Wishing to go to a
certain ranch in the Territory, the mur
derer, a man well acquainted ia this coun
trj. was hired as a guide. About an hour's
drive southwest of Anthony he borrowed a
shotgun and loaded-it with buckshot. Just
after they crossed the Territory line he got
behind the waggon with his .gun and shot
the old man through the head. lie tried to
get the drop on the boy but was not quick
enough. The boy got hold of the gun and
said, "My God, you won't kill rac whom
ycu don't know at all, will you!" The fel
low promised not to, ii the boy would help
steal the team and outfit.
Thi? the big boy refused to do, ami in
the ecuffic that followed the rcmalng load
in the gun was fired. The boy being
strong for his age, overpowered the mur
derer, and then started after the team,
which was running away. Overtaking it,
he found the old man dead and covered
with blood, and he then struck out for a
light in the distance for help. Before ,his
return with assistance, the murderer took
one of the horses and made his escape, he
having been seen during tho night on his
way towards Anthony. . The victim will be
buried today in the cemetery here, and a
coroner's jury is now investigating the
case. Every precaution has been taken to
run down the perpetrator of the crime, and
it is lo be hoped that he will be brought
to justice.
The festive politician is about in the
laud, working up the dear people. Barber
countr is Republican and will remain so.
Sam. R. Peters will run ahead of the ticket
here.
Tho foundations for our new 7,000
school houses are completed, and the brick
masons are at work. The plans arc neat
and elaborate, and are the work of Rush &
Giles, of our city.
The dedication of tho new M. E. church
has been spoken of. While hero Colonel
Buckner, in a conversation with your re
porter, condemned Branscombe and the
nondescript third party in unmeasured
terms. The gallant old "fighting parson"
is true blue and votes as he shot.
A malicious report has been started in
Eagle and -Blaine townships, Ilarper coun
ty, that Gould is.foreclosing or about to
foreclose, his mortgage on the Fort Scott
road, and that the stock issued for bonds
voted would be worthless. Will the editor
of the Eagle kindly state hov these mat
ters stand? It will have more influence
than from any other source.
Oct. 29, 1886. Pendennis.
The proposition is entirely wrong. Mr.
Gould is fighting just such a scheme, got
ten up by the original construction com
pany, who loaded the enterprise with a lot
of bogus debts aud are now trying to make
them good. Ed. Eagle.
A ONE-SIDED VIEW.
To the Editor of tlie Eagle.
In your strictures in Friday's issue on
my editorial squib in the Wichita District
Advocate relating to the Methodist college
at WinSeld I notice an error or two which,
by your permission, I will correct through
your columns.
1. You say: "All there was to it, and
in the absence of any endowment or prom
ised endowment, the town was asked to
give the site, to give the money, and then
to give the completed structure to the
trustees of the conference." To this I re
ply, the conference did not authorize its
locating committee to ask any such thing,
aud I know they did not ask it. The com
mittee, representing a young, but ambi
tious, though not wealthy conference,
simply gave the different cities and
towns an opportunity to bid
for the location of the college. Tho pre
vailing sentiment among the leaders of the
enterprise was that any city could well af
ford to give the site and sufficient money to
construct a suitable building, in view of
the varied advantages, naturally accruing
from tho location of a first-class school of
collegiate grade aud powers. And it was
further thought due the city securing the
college to expend about all the money
donated on the structure, and draw upon
the church and its friends throughout the
conference for money to defray the run
ning expenses of the school, and in time to
work up an endowment. Indeed it was
well understood by the locating committee
and every other person at all inter
ested, with the possible exception of
yourself, that no city would make any
proposition except on the condition that
the conference establish and forever main
tain a first clas3 school of college grade.
And everybody knows that to furnish the
site and build the structure are compara
tively small factors in a successful college
enterprise.
2. "If the Methodist church is so abun
dantly able to attend to ils own affairs,
what is it going around and asking people
to do all the work and contribute all of the
money'" The Methodist church is not
some great abstraction, off some where
apart from all creation, with a -huge vault
full of money. It consists of intelligent
men aud women scattered through
even' city, town and country
place, with willing hands and
open hands to every moral, philanthropic,
aud intellectual enterprise. The treasurers
of the church arc the purses of its mem
bers, and the duly appointed agents of the
church have a right to call upon its mem
bers aud its friends for contributions, and
they have a right to respond. "Aud that
is just what the methodist3 did and are
doing with reference to their so-called col
lege." And wo shall still continue to do it
with or without the consent of the Eagle,
until our college leads every other in the
slate. Very respectfully,
J. D. Boticin.
NOT THE MAN.
To the Editor of the Eajle.
ituLN.vxE. Knn Oct. 20. Dear Sir;
I notice in the weekly edition of j-our pa
per an article headed, "Down at Mulvanc,"
in which you say a correspondent wits that
a couple of gentlemen, who have political
aspirations and one of whom was a dele
gate to the county convention, has gone
back on the Republican ticket. I presume
I am the party meant by the correspondent
a3 I was one of the delegates, end he was
another of the delegates from this part of
the township. He was a nominee for a
town oflicc, and on account of his going
back on his end of tiie township I will not
support him; but any statement to the ef
fect that I have gone bask on the county
ticket, which I helped to nominate, and all
of ivhora wss ny choice in the convention,
is false, Now I am the man at whom this
was thrown. 1 hope you will correct it.
and give ine the n.ime of your informer, as
he ha-; taken a cowardly mean way of vent-
j icg his ppite. Yours Truly,
C. II. Hra&urex

ROBBED.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Having noticed in a late issue of the
Beacon that a great and magnanimous
county was about to be robbed of a valua
ble piece of property by a poor widow un
less its rights were defended, an observer
would ask why does the great and mag
nanimous county propose to rob a poor
widow of her sacred rights? Does the
said great county propose to defend its
poor widows in their sacred rights to prop
erty to which its poor widows have never
signed their righrs away? Does this great
and magnanimous county hold a deed to
said valuable properly with the poor wid
ows signature affixed? If so it is a base
fraud. The poor widow never wanted and
never did sign any deed to the square upon
which the jail now stand?. Thus the poor
widow's claim upon the property. Oh,
magnanimous county, we deplore thee.
In reply to the lady who wrote above
we have only to say that we have had no
sympathy with the howl set up by the
Beacon. We knew Munger as far back as
'oS.kno wing of the early struggles of himself
and wife in starting Wichita, and we have
said at least a dozen times in public that wc
really wished that the woman who did so
much to lay the foundation of Wichita,
and who now has nothing, would get the
square of ground for which she is contend
ing, and which, while it would make her
rich, the county would never particularly
miss. Ed. Eagle.
