SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL 1G. 38S7.
REMARKABLE NERVE.
A young man havine $1,000 cah and a
powerful nerve bought 3S,000 worth of
business lots, paying $1,000 for a thirty
day s option. bpnnguelu Itepublican.
The above is from a paper published in
an old .Missouri town bearing the same
name as the handle of the paper above
quoted. If we remember rightly, it was
from this town that a banker got himself
interviewed in the Globe Democrat, and
made umj of the occasion to say some very
Lard things of Wichita. Of coure very
fewT people ever heard of the old Missouri
town before this. But everybody being
interested in bearing from the Peerless
City of the Plains, this interview was cop
ied far and wide, and the Missouri town
and her banker received more notoriety
than ever before, all from the fact of link
ing the name of their tow n t ith Wichita.
And now that some tenderfoot has been
found foolish enough to invest 1,000 in
an option in the old town, the editor of
aforesaid paper goes into fits over the
amount of nerve displayed by the young
galoot. We, however, must admit that if
the young man was perfectly sane his
nerve was remarkable. A man who would
invest one thousand dollars in Springfield
-with any hope of getting it out again has
nerve. There is no getting around thtt
fact. His nerve exceeds that of Sampson,
of whom it is said on a certain occasion,
lie slew a great number of fellows with
the jaw bone of an ass. If the young man
of nerve referred to 13' the above paper
Lad the jaw bone of a Philistine and turned
himself loose on a coitain banker at Spring
field he might immoitalize himself by slay
ing the biggest as in this vale of tears.
It seems there is no limit to the disad
vantages of the interstate commerce bill,
judging by the following from the Globe
Democrat of Tuesday: "From January 1
to April 1 of this year. 1,010 miles of new
railroad track were laid in the United States,
a larger total than has been recorded for any
previous j car, excepting in 1882. It is
proper to bear in mind, however, as iug
gested by one of the best railway journals,
that this represents plans of construction
antedating the pasiago of the interstate
commerce law. What effect that law will
Lave upon plans for new roads and exten
sions which have not yet been finally ar
ranged remains to be seen; but it is safe to
say that for several months to come the
capitalists will be slow about in-vesting
money in enterprises which may oe embar
rassed by the enforcement of a measure so
remarkably wanting in coherence and pre
cision." The foreign immigration to America
this year promise to be enormous. A
new element is now pouring into this coun
try, viz: the Italian. Hitherto the foreign
ers who have cane to America have been
largely Irish, German and Swedish. jS'ow
we are to ha e a great influx of a hot
Lloodcd Fouthem race. Truly it may be
said, that the American of the future will
be a conglomeration of all races and all
bloods. A Sunday telegram from .New
York says: "The immigrants who did not
leave Castle Garden yesterday were about
crowded to de'aih this morning by the ar
rival of 2,3!)2 more strangers. The major
ity of them were Irish and Italians. The
arrivals for yesterday and today number
nearly 10.000. Three fifths of these were
- booked by the railroads for points in the
west and south."
The weather crank, C. C. Blake, of
Richland, Shawnee county, is off as usual
in his predictions for April. Iu his pre
dictions of the 19th of March he went so
far as to localize. For western Kansas ho
says they will not be favored w ith much
dampness so they would do well to plant
early. The western fellows are the fel
lows who have got the fine April showers.
For eastern Kansas, where we have had no
rains for April so far, ho says: "While
wo do not look for an' extraordinary
floods in April, yet there will be many
places where it will be too wet to plant in
April." "Too wet to plant" must have
been intended for a joke. "Give us a
rest."

THE COMING CITY OP MEADE CEN-TER.
To the Editor of the Easrle.
The boom which has been raging in so
many Kansas towns this spring hai been
raging in Meade Center from its advent in
to the state. The rise in property here has
been absolutely wonderful and could be
paralleled only in the great Sunflower
state. In no town in Kansas has the in
crease in value of real estate been propor
tionately greater than in this young but
enterprising city. For instance: Mr. Ed.
Dool, vice-president of the Meade County
Bank, week before last sold eight acres of
land adjoining the north line of town for
3.500, having paid 750 for the same last
November. Four lots on Carthage av
enue one block west of the square were
last spring bought by Mr. Chas. F. Turner
for $175, sold by him three weeks ago
for .$2,500 and $3,000 ha9 now been offered
for the same property. The Meade Coun
ty Bank corner was a year ago
offered with the adjoining twenty
five foot lot for $1,200 with
two good buildings on them.
Two w eel's ago $10,000 in cash was
offered for the same properly ana con
temptuously refused. Meade Center, with
her two assured railroads, the Rock Island
and Santa Fe, and magnificent country
tributary, has advantages which eastern
capitalists are seeing and taking advantage
of. Levi E. Coe, president of the Meriden
savings bank, Merideu, Conn., together
with Joseph Morse, a banker and capital
ist, were in our city week before last and
invested about $20,000 in Meade Center
property. The block known as the public
square has been lotted and deeds issued by
Mayor Hart, our first mayor, and Ma) or
Roberts, his successor, to Hon. A. B.
Lemmon and L. E. Steele, of Newton, in
accordance with a contract willingly en
tered into by our citizens about a year and
a half ago. Mayor Roberts having re
signed his office about two weeks before
the election, the president of the council
concluded to bound from obscurity to
notoriety in a single leap and
regardless of the prior transfers made deeds
to this same property to certain individuals
who in the public interest have always de
clared that this square ought to go to the
county, but now upon receipt of these
deeds have suddenly changed their views
and waut to hold for themselves. The act
ing mayor of course failed to forget his
own interests his daughter having an
alleged deed. Of course Messrs. Lemmon
and Steele will fight to the bitter end for
their rights.
Our election last Monday passed off very
quietly the ladies taking a very prominent
part. Of course the old howl of the saloon
vs. the home was raised in order, to secure
votes, although the alleged whisky ticket
was composed f some of our best business
men who in every sense of the word are
sober, reliable law-obeying citizens. The
active pait taken by the ladies has
shaken society to its foundations and
the ill feeling engendered by the campaign
w ill not be allayed before another election
comes oil to again stir it up. One lady, in
particular, has, we learn, been very ener
getic in "rounding up" those ladies whom,
as she alleges, voted against her interests.
The Eagmj has been making a gallant fight
for the sacredness of the homo and the
purity of our women, and long may you
continue to scream the same note until a
law parsed to resurrect dead and stinking
politicians has been erased from our statute
books.
A magnificent rain set in here early this
morniig and has continued all day. This
evening oir streets are flooded and still the
heavens appear as if loaded. Some of
those who had predicted a droughty
reason are now as loudly proph
esying a flood with a better chance of a
realization of their fears. This rain has
done an incalculable amount of good and
everybody is happy over the prospects of a
magnificent season.
Our legal mill will soon be grinding,
court meeting this week with Judge C. W.
Ellis on the bench. Our people are always
glad to see this gentleman in Meade Cen
ter. His trcnial and hearty manners while
off the bench and his suavity and dignity
while seated thereon, have made him many
friends and inspired in all a belief in his
strict integrity and incorruptibility.
Graccland cemetery, the new burying
ground just east of and overlooking the
city, is now being laid out and before many
days Meade Center will have a beautiful
spot for her God's Acre. The Cemetery
Association intend to erect in a prominent
portion of the grounds where It
can bo seen for miles, a
stately monument to the memory of the
soldiers of the late rebellion. Meade
county has a largo number of the heroes of
'61 to 'Go within her borders and it is only
meet that when the angelic bugle sounds
"lights out," a proper place should be as
signed for their burial and their deeds be
perpetuated in enduring marble.
The Meade County Globe Is still proving
its republicanism by snarling and packing
at some of our business men.
The family jars caused by differences be
tween man and wife engendered by the late
election, will, to a certain extent, obliterate
the dead line which has become so famous
In 3Ieade Center and which has heretofore
bean the boundary betw een female fecun
dity and its reverse. This is one of the
sad result of women at the polls. Should
the law remnin unchanged, what is now a
fruitful incyard may. become a barren
wc-te.
Hon. "William Mounce, one of our laad
ing citizens, is attracting universal atten
tion by his large and daring investments in
Meade Center real estate. The Hon. "Yil
liau knows what he is doing and is level
headed iu his speculations. Nemo.
PLEASANT TALK.
t om li.t Artnn CIV D4r Tr&Ttlor.
3iHrsh Murdock has for so many years
sundd the praises of Wichita that his
sympathies have aopeared narrow to out
siders, and his sectional jealousy unwise.
But in talking with one of our "citizens a
day or two ago he avowed more liberal
views. There is room in this valley, he ad
mitted, for more than one prosperous
town, and the success of one community
oetd cot be in derogation of its neighbors.
Wicalta'a aim and operations extend west-
ward, while Arkansas City had her field of
enterprise to the south. He had long
since been struck with the advantage
of our situation, and had ascribed
credit to our people for put
ting their opportunities to good avail. The
outside pressure upon congress, he thought,
would lead to the speedy opening- of the
territory to white settlement, and when
the crowd began to rush in there he fore
saw a prosperity for this city that would
be almost unexampled. Wichita had its
own destiny, and he believed there was
energy in this city to achieve a prosperous
future. He was working for the success
of his own town, and if other communities
could travel the same road he was willing
to help them on the way. This is very
pleasant talk, and we accord our boom
ing cotem. the credit of progressive
views.
Editor "Watterson evidently has a fresh
grievance against Secretary Endicott. He
ays: "If the war department is as in
solent to foreign powers as it is to citizens
of the United States we shall soon have a
big war on our hands."
METHODICAL JAY GOULD.
If Jay Gould got any salary at all I
should say that he earned it the most easily
of anT man in town. He is the personifi
cation of easy going, and never loses his
temper or his head. He treats his head
through the medium of his stomach by
living very plain; in fact he commits no
excesses in any direction except money
making. He has himself under perfect
control, ne is as methodical as a machine,
goes to bed at such an hour, gets up at
such an hour, and spends just so many
hours at his office. Naturally, everybody
who works witn him or for him likes him.
But neither as president of the Manhattan
Elevated nor of the Gould system does he
take any salary. If he gets his $5 for each
attendance at a meeting of the Western
Union directory it is because the money is
sent to him. Providence Journal.
MASHED ON SUN CITY.
To the Kdltor of the Eagle.
In passing through different parts of
this state I have come across a large num
ber of very fine and prosperous towns in
the vast numbers of which the state is so
justly celebrated. My eastward journey
took me through many growing towns
along the line of the Santa Fe road as far
as the western line of tne state. My return
was made overland, by spring wagon,
through the counties of Morton, Seward,
Clark, Comanche and Barber to Medi
cine Lodge. Barber county I consider by
far the best county for farming and stock
raising of any county through which I
passed, and right here I wish to call atten
tion to a town that, in my estimation, will
make by far the best town in Barber coun
ty, outside the county seat, aud
that is Sun City, a town
having the finest location in every respect
of any town in the southwest and now en
joying a healthy growth. It is beautifully
situated in the Medicine river valley, twenty-five
miles west of the county seat, with
a splendid farming and grazing country on
ail sides of It. I spent one day in the
young city and was shown as much of the
surrounding country as my time would
allow and was most happily impressed
with all I saw. There has been a good many
substantial buildings erected iu the town
and others are in course of erection. I
made inquiries at" the real estate offices
there and find that the prices of lots are
low and within the reach of any one who
wishes to purchase. The town is to have
the Missouri Pacific railroad by December
31st, next and will undoubtedly receive
the Rock Island from the northeast of it.
Under all these circumstances I firmly be
lieve Sun City to be the safest place for a
person to invest in town property, while
an Investment in farm and stock property
iu that locality is sure to be safe under
any circumstances. The good people of
this place are alive to the interests of their
town, polite and entertaining to strangers,
and they will surely make their town win.
There are other good towns in Barber
county, but none in my estimation with
prospects so fair or with as solid a foun
dation as Sun City. A name more appro
priate could not have been found for this
charming little city of the Medicine valley.

("Drummer.")
JAY GOULD IN KANSAS.
From t&e AlchUon Champion.
Jay Gould, accompanied by his Ron,
George J. Gould, and by several officers
and directors of the Missouri Pacific rail
road, is making his serai annual tour of in
spection, and will be in Kansas this week
and next.
The Missouri Pacific Railway Company
now owns and operates 1,754 miles of rail
way within the limits of the state of Kan
sas" The roads it controls are known by
several different names, including in addi
tion to the Missouri Pacific proper, the
Central Branch Union Pacific, the Mis
souri, Kansas fc Texas, the St. Louis, Ft.
Scott fc Wichita, the Denver, Memphis &
Atlantic, the Kansas, Nebraska
& Dakota, the Salina fc Western, the
Kansas & Arizona, and many other minor
branches. On the map of Kansas recently
issued by the State Board of Railway Com
missioners the lines of the Missouri Pacifn
system are printed in green ink and they
extend through nearly every section of the
state. Fifty-seven of the one hundred and
six counties of Kansas are now traveled
by one or more lines of this great railway
company. It has built fully six hundred
miles of railway in Kansas during the past
year, and will build fully as large a mile
age during the present year. Its
Central Branch system extends from
Atchison to within one hundred miles
of the west line of Kansas, and work on its
Stockton branch is progressing westward.
Nearly every county north on the Kansas
river, "as far west as the one hundredth
meridian; is traversed by on a or more
lines of this system. The St. Louis, Ft.
Scott & Wichita and the D., M. tfc A.
lines traverse nearly every county in
southern Kansas, and the lines of the S.
and S. W. are pushing through central
Kansas.
We have seen it said, in eastern papers,
that Mr. Gould is not a railroad builder. So
far as his relations with Kansas
are concerned, this is not true. He
has built many hundreds of miles
of railroads within the limits of this
state' and Is really the Inpirer, the origin
ator of the railway building boom which
was inaugurated iu Kansas a year and a
half ago. lie began building roads in eev
eral sections of Kanas. Other companies
asserted that he was invading their terri
tory, and went to work to protect their
lines by building others. Mr. Gould kept
on, building new roads and extending old
lines. The result was an active competi
tion, and the construction last year of fully
1,500 miles of new railway within the lim
its of the state.
For this result Kansas is indebted to
the nggrettiTe energy and enwrpris of
Jay Gould. He believes in Kansas.
His sasaeity and clear businesa intelll-
fgence enabled him to foresee the wonder
ful growth oi Kansas, and the vast carry
ing trade the development of the state
would create. He began, therefore, years
ago, to invest in Kansas railroads, and he
has kept on buying and building Kansas
roads until the great company of which he
is the head now owns and operates over
1,700 miles of railway within the limits of
our state.
So far as Kansas is concerned, it may be
truthfully said that Mr. Gould's identifica
tion with its transportation business has
been of incalculable benefit to the state.
The policy of the railways he controls has
been liberal and progressive. Take
the Uentral .Branch road as an
illustration. "When he purchased it,
it was in the worst possible
condition. Its roadbed was bad, its iron
worn out, and its rolling stock inadequate.
It is now one of the best and satest rail
ways in the west; it is equipped with the
best rolling stock; it is being steadily
improved, and the extensions" now in pro
gress will add enormously to its value and
importance as a great highway of com
merce and travel. The Central Branch is
and always will be the great commera'al
artery for the richest and most beaut if ul
region of country under the sun, and Mr.
Gould evidently understands this fact.
We repeat, therefore, that Jay Gould's
connection with the railway system of
Kansas has been of incalculable benefit to
this state. He has been in Kansas, an en
terprising aud aggressive railway builder
and an energetic, intelligent, progressive
and liberal railway manager. He has not
only constructed hundieds of miles of rail
way, but his operations have induced or
compelled other railway corporations, com
peting with the Missouri Pacific system for
the carrying trade of Kansas, to build
many hundreds of miles. Thus Kansas
has been largely benefited, not only direct
ly but indirectly, by the enterprise, energy
and sagacity of Jay Gould.
