Monday afternoon, their hor-c suddenly whirled and unceremoni ously spilled both ladies out upon the ground, turning the t chicle oterthem. The accident was seen 1y several, who caught the irightcned horc and prevented any damage. The ladies were not hurt in the least. That fine span or sorrel, three-tear old colts driven around by Hon. A. A. Moore arc from thorough-bred Morgan and Gleneoe. They are jut as good as they arc beautiful, and with all their show of lifo and spirit are as gentle as kittens when Mrs. Moore takes the reins. We had the pleasure of a dash around the city be hind those same sorrel nags last Saturday. Mr. Moore is not going to leave Wichita, but will probably launch out in the wholesale trade, in a permanent building, heat ier than ever, in the spring. The (tmmontttilth, the great state paper, for whose opinions we entertain the pmfouud est respect, appropriated in toto an editorial of this paper last week, headed) the The Osage Lands." We heartily commend the wisdom and discretion of tlic editor ol the state organ iu publishing so sound and timelt au article, but wc would uggest tat, hereafter, where no credit is given, such articles should be lead ed, to the end that they ma hate some weight and not be taken by the i rdinary reader as liiinromliiMnivelhnr. We reproduce from the columns or the Leaf- j cuworth Commercial quite an extensive article on Wichita. Thc" articles which tve repub lish from fonign journals generally contain many little inaccuracies, but they are repuls IMicd in the E.tGl.r. for the general good they may do our town in the way of advertising. It is impossible for a stringer in a short day or two to gather up all the facts touching the hl- ' toryoratown. to learn all the names which j msy hare contributed to its prosperity, and to . properly discriminate betwe- n the good and ( bad. These traveling correspondents necc-sa-rilv otcrdo some witters, but bcauc of these failure", tve think it would be unwise and I against the interests of our city not to reprint them in tliis paper. Wc want the name of Wichita to be heard in every town and coun ty throughout the United States. We want the great superiority of this valley to be known and recognized et crytvhere. and newspapers arc the most and effective medium. We hope those who are in the habit of i riticilng us for the publication of some of these articles will at leat endorse the motive and be a little lenient. The future dense settlement of this valley is only a question of time, but the sooner it can be settled and cultivated the sooner will the arlier settlers reap their reward for prita tions. The concert and dramatic entertainment to be given to-morrow (Friday) might promises to be the best affair of its kind this season. Aside from the home talent, so warmly ap plauded at the last concert Mr. A Mrs. Mead, Mrs. Simmons, Miss Smith, Miss Pittenger and Messrs. Hroimvell. Hyde, Henry and others, will again take part they arc to be assisted by Mrs. Dat is, who is pronounced one of the finest singers in the state. She has come here on purpose to sing at this conrcrt, and tve pi om iselieras good and appreciatite an audience in Wichita as she has met anywhere. A be fore, the programme contains an entertaining variety, consisting or instrumental and vocal music, choruses, quartettes, duetts and solos. Interspersed with Tarccs. tableaux, etc. Miss Peak, with her inimitable performance on the silver cornet staff bells, has again been imoort cd at an immense expense. Turn out and give the Presbyterians a rousing benefit. s We wish wc eould pret ail upon all the resi dents of thr cit. of Wichita to put fences around their homes. Our herd law protects all from night prowling old cows, tve know, but, somehow, homes look so bare and unln tiling without a fence. It looks as though the occupant was only one or the great herd, out upon the street straggling around minus an anchor. The truth is, tve have dozens upon dozens of neat, tasty and comfortable little cot tages in Wichita that only need a light paling or other rence in front or them to render them uniting and home-like. A nice rence around a home lends itan airor prltacy. retirement and comfort that it cannot otherwise possibly have. Then, too, a fence and a Tew trees en hances the value of any property much more than the simple cost or such a rence and trees. Our city would actually appear twice as large and dense were all our homes fenced. Let u all fence. One ofthe fine passeuger coaches belonging to the A., T. &H. F. railroad company was discotrred to be on fire Saturday about 11 o'clock. The coaches run out from here are alternated etery day, which Icat es two coa hes and a mail cur always on the side truck at this place. It appears that the car cleaner had built up fires in both coaches preparatory to scrubbing out. After being outside a little while he attempted to go back into No 7, but was met bv a burst of flame. We were there in a few moments, and from the way the fire appeared to till the canopy of the coin.li from end to end, concluded the fire had originated from the pipe where it pisses through the roof. The other coich was uncoupled anil pulled away. The los is something like r,ooo. " The M. E. Church 1- now completed entire ly we beliete. and the entire cost protided for. It is cozy and substantial within and without, and is protided with a bell and an organ. The scats and preicbcr's stand are tasty and com fortable, the aisles and platform carpeted. The only thing in which the building committee deserve ant thing hut praise is, the seats arc three inches too close together and the aisles, rather narrow. Tw o broad aisles would have been better than three narrow ones. Iiutupon the whole little criticism is called for. The new and comfortable plaer of worship rails out large congregations, which must be extremely satisfactory to the Hev. .1. F. Nessly, who 1b an carmstand hard-working christain. A railroad meeting will be held at the Eaglc Hall, on Saturday night, which meeting will be addressed by I). V. M. Stewart, who favors us with a short communication upon the sub ject in another column. Mr. Stewart has been engnged for some time p-i't in working up the interests of a tran-contincntal railroad up the great Arkansas t alley, whose eastern terminus shall be at Mobile. There is but the track from Ilutihinson or Wichita to Little Bock to be built in onler to hate such n completed line. Our business men will please come out on Putin day night, as we hate no doubt Mr. Stew art w ill have much to offer that will be of interest to them. The show windows of Mr. Nixon, for some days past, hate been tery attractite and hato drawn out many exclamations of surprise. The same 'nste and richness displayed in the windows marks the inside ot the establish ment. In man lines his goods cannot be ex celled in beaut and fashion ant where. In silks, lustres, fine woolens and furs lie intites competition from all dealers and a critical ex amin.ilion from all purchasers. He finds the demand for first cla goods fur exceeding his expectatioi's upon his first arrit al in the spring, and he is loiup-lh-d to continually keep orders out lor fresh supplies. Wc received a letter this week from a gen tleman east requesting us to send him an Ea gi.b containing an article or articles on the agricultural adt an ages and resources of our valley, and what is mist suceessrully raised in it. As to what is suecessiully raised iu the alley tve should think, alter looking at the stalk or corn standing in Steele's land ofljee, that tint particular talk had succeeded ad mirably iu raisin; the ears so high that a six footer eould not eien touch the highest ear with the tips of his fingers, anil this stalk is said to h ite been an ater.ige in the field. Tho-e bridges across Chisholm ! What is to be done? Something must be. done, and that immediately. 'I he fanners and others east of town an- not only growing uertou, but indig nant. Taxes are outrageous, jet ei cry time tliet come to town their litcs and that of their teams are endangered. We hope, we urge, th.it our count to nmissioners at their next session will go out and inspect the above bridges. Fred. Daley is not only a ueces as a land lord, but as a house motor, also, which he clearly demonstrated I st wrekb loadings log house on wagons and moving it about two squares and setting it down again with perfect eae. Mr Daley is prepared to mote build ings or raise them on the shortest not ice, guar anteeing satisfaction. Sec his advertisement in another column. Itcnicmbcr the poor around you. We hate but little doubt that there arc those in our midst who will reall sutler this winter if some aid is not extended. Wc do not desire to see the city and county taking care or indolent bloats, but we think that some organized ef fort should be put forth to find out and succor ramifies that may be sick. Who will move in this good cause ? 51. It. Moscr, the big, good natured, Tat, sin ewy son of tulran, whose shop is at the sign or the big wheel, and who will guaranty any thing in his line from shoeing a Texas mule to making a printing prc, ha a rani in this week's E.vr.l.i:. All successful niecharic and business men will do well to advertise in a pa per that is rapidly gaining admivsiou to all the h inies in this count v. It is etident that the law organizing aiid goterning cities ol'the vcond vla-s i lame in I set eral particulars. Our representatite. Hon. I E.B.

The Wichita Literary Society met at the school house last Monday c cuing, and was called to order at half past 7 o'clock by the president, W. E. Stanley. The exercises were opened with prayer by Kcv. .1. F.Ncsslv, followed by the regular prograrme, as arranged for the last meeting. The proceedings were interspersed with very fine music, kindly furnished by Miss Kellogg, Mr. and Mrs. Warren B. Mead and Judge At tvood. The essay of Mr. Hyde subject. " Darned fools" was a splendid and truthful produc tion, and was highly appreciated by the audi ence. Mr. Stanley and Dr. Fisher edited the Wich ita Attonither, Vol. I, No. 2, and showed them selves capable or their allotedtask; although, in taking pattern from nearly all or our weekly papers, they indulged in altogether too much personal abuse. The following programme has been arranged tor next Monday evening: Oration. W. C. Little; essay. Prof. Jno. Tucker; declama tion, W. E. Stanley; Wichita Attviuher, Vol. 1, No. 2, edited by O,. A. Smith and Mrs. Wil coxson; recitation of poems A. A. Hyde; essay, W. It. ICirkpatriek; report of criti cism. J. L. Dyer. Owing to the fact that important business will be brought before the society, the regular debato will be dispensed with for the evenine. The society is steadily and rapidly increas ing in numbers and interest, and a cordial, earnest and pressing invitation is extended to all. Come and bring your ladies with ou. and having been present at one of the meet ings, wc hate no doubt that your regular at tendeuce will hate been secured. Quite a number of ladies were present last wci k, and we hop: and expect they will continue to fa tor us with their attendance. Come one, come all, and have a good time. A new switch of eight or nine hundred feet in length, was put in just south of the depot last week. Notwithstanding there was al ready over a mile of switches around the en gine house, the cattle yards, depot and lumber yards, yet the business of the place demanded stiil more.
