Three wagon losds of wild turkevs were driven into town on Monday and offered for tale. Other wild meats are becoming moic plentiful. Two eminent gentlemen ol Kansas will spend Saturday in this city, Their business may be politics or it may be railroacl,but wo'll bet h'u neither.

The Kaunas Stile Teachers Association holds an adjourned meeting at Topeka, De cember 2Clh. Tho rail oads will carry per sons to it at reduced ra cs. A very complete and satisfactory report ol tberirstTrcsbvieiiin Church, of Wicb'ta will bo lound in our columns this week. It will prove interesting to ever body. Tho household or J.

A firm, consisting ol a couple of brothers, lrom New York, are contemplating the erec tion orgas works in Wichita, somo lima next season. Names and other particulars fur nished in time. The teams tint, under W. J. llobson's contract, transported tho Sioux Indians through the Indian Tcrritoiy, bate returned, having met with no accident or trouble north mentioning. Ferrell, of tho fruit, confectionery and toy store, tho gentlemanly and accommodating lellow who runs our telegraph office, has scl eral lively specials iu this week. Whenjou get ready to buy holiday good g've him a call. Tne Turnvcricn fcociety. ol Wichl a have decided on a masquerade ball, on New Year's Eve. The Society i a very strong one, in cluding the best elements of cur Geiman citizens and no doubt it will bo a happy oc casion. Owing lo dry weather and other causos,tho Arkansas City Tractltr saj . the lartneis In tbatviciolty failed to sow as much wheal this year as usual, and most ol what was sown is late, yet the prospect for a lair ciop is deci dedly good. JuJgo 11. II. Kistier is taking steps to have Josephine Demer lit pai doncd out of the Pen itentiary The action is most piaisevvorthy, and meets our hearty approbation. Judn Fisher wa the prosecuting attorney. Jndge Campbell, we undcrs and, will sign the peti tion. Wo hope Gov . Oiborn will act. Rev. W. E. Copeland, now of Lincoln, Ne braska, will preach orlccurc, this Wednes day evening, at Ibc M. K. Church. He ad dressed largo audieuccs at TopeLa and Einpo na on Sunday and Monday. Mr. C, as is known to many ol our citizens, is an eloquent and interesting spcater. The old folks are working away with sure succe3. They cannot and will not fail. Their selections were mado by a member who has been in the old folks business before, and we understand that they do not propose to offer it to the public unl'l they aro thordugbly pre pared. The county bridge across the Big rhcr is in a dangcous condition, a part of the rail ing is pushed loose. Somebody, with their team w HI tumble off from that bridge somo of these line days and the concqucnco will be better known alter the case goes through tho courts. They bae been engaged for some time they live up on the Avenue ; they were look ing over the Eagle the other ccning, "Look, lovt," ho said, "Craddock is selling suits for tiflccn dollars." "Is it a wedding suit," she exclaimed. "Oh. nol'" he said, "a business suit." "Well, I meant buiine3-," she naively replied. The Topeka, Leavenworth and Lawrence papers, with characteristic complaisancy, are mutually congratulating each other over the possession of the only musical societies worthy of note In tho State. Go slow, gentle men. Wichita not only boasts such an or ganization, but claims talent of as high an or der as can be found in the State. W. C. Woodman received a heavy o.ljcial documcnt.covcrcd with red tape and big seals, lrom Samuel J. Tildcn, tho other morning. He has simply been iak:ng time oy the fore lock and proposes to have something to say himself with reference to the distribution r patronage, wo suppose. It strikes us that he might have held up till tic fourth ol March, but he didn't. Cant. John II. Tolls, editor of the Sumner County Freit spent Monday in the city. He had been attending a meeting ol tbc Kegcnt., ol the State Agricultural College, of which he Is a member. Cantain says tbat the settle ment of Sumner County is moving westward with the solidity and regularity or a line o battle by sections and ranges and that twof years more will see Sumner completely filled. To all ol which wo most heartily assent. Wo are glad to chronicle tho marriago ol Mr. Andrew Hanson, of this citv, to Miss Eliza Fanning, ol Fairvlcw. Mr. Hanson is one ol tho thoroughgoing and industrious young men of our i alley. To him must be given the credit for tbc handsomely arranged grounds ol J. It. Mead, he bein a floricultur ist and landscape gardener. Wo wish tho bride and groom lots of happiness. The best opening in tbc State of Kansas If not in the west, lor a small foundry and ma chine shop, is at Wichita. A capacity for small castings, with a couple ol lathes and a planer, together with ordinary hand tools, would meet the demand at present, probably, but an establishment of much larger preten tion, backed by capital, would prove a pay ing investment. Wichita is only about one hundred miles south of the mouth ol the Kaw nver, never theless during the late cold snap which closed the livers and lakes of the north and formed ice ono fool thick at Lawrence, Topeka and Kansay City, the Littlo Arkansas barely af forded good skating, while the murky witers ol the Big river were still exposed lo the sun light. The storm in the northwestern States proved terrible. Public Sale of Livestock. On Saturday, December 10, 1S7G, I will sell to the highest bidder, at the Wichita Stud Stables, corner of Waco and Central Avenue, two pur ol fine marc mules ; Henry, by Dren non, a fine, combined harness and saddle horse perfectly gaited and gentle, suitable for a lady to ride or dri e. Wichita,a fine,large yearling colt, by Modoc, has very fine tiottlng action, and will make a fine stable horse; six fine shoats ; a goad sulky , and the grasshopper, a strong sulky ler breaking vicious horses. Terms : Four months at 10 per cent., with approved security. Sa'e posttiv e. Wm. Tjlkltox. Wichita, Kansas, December 5, 1870. E. It. Dcnnlson, Auctioneer. To tho Patrons ol Southwestern Commer cial Agency : There will be a stockholders meeting at the Agency's warehouse in Wich ita, the first Friday in January, All stock holders arc requested to be present. ,E. K. Towell, Secretary. Editor Eagle : Please announce tbat Santa Klaus will be on the boards to distrib ute gifts for the Baptist Sunday school and others, Christmas evening, at the church. Be speak us a houseful. AnME.vr. Hon. John Guthrie, who came so very near carrying off the Gubeinatoiial prize in the last State Convention, spent one day in Wich ita last week. John is tho same whole-souled genial man that ho ccr was just as happy and philosophical as though he had won in the great contest instead ol lost. Ho has hosts ol admirers all over tho State, and we aro glad to have him como and see us. Hogs and Corn vs. Wheat. Col St. Clair, Forney, Brown and Carter brought up lrom Sumner county, on Monday twenty-lour head ol hogs which averaged thirteen months old, and three hundred and eleven pounds each. They sold to Davidson & Brown for three hundred and seventy-three dollars and twenty cents. Col. St. Clair re commends that laimers pay more attention to bogs. He was satisfied that the hogs above mentioned wcro not fed over four dollars worth of corn to tho bead. Comments aro uceccssary. By our local advertisements ol the last two weeks it will be seen that Messrs. Harvey Jfc Stcwa1 1 have opened a packing house near the bridgo and hav c been cutting meats as fast as the hogs could be procured. S'ncc then Mr. Charles Miller, one ol our leading capita'isls, has associated himself in business with thce gentlemen, the firm being known as Harvey. Sicwart & Co. This makes a s.rong firm and promises for the fu luro apsrmaneni cs ablishment of this kind in our cl.'y, which every citizen of Southwest ern Kansas will aoprecUte. We have alwajs contended that every hog broushl o Wichita for shipment should be slaughtered here. II shipments .nut be made let it be ol the manu factured article. Wo wish success lo eho firm of Harvey, Stewart Co. The ques ion that now agitates the boys i, wno was Dwyer, anyway ? Unheralded and unknown, accoinpaniod anly by the homilicst, bob-tailed tei ncr that cv cr grined at a Scotch man's heels, that "innocent abroad" lit down on Wichita the day belorc election oflering to bet odds that he could name four Northern States that would go lor Samuel Jones Tildcn. And he did that thing cv cry time. Where he vvasfiom what his business, or who was his backers no one ever discovered, but betook in our boys in a way we despise. An Irish man by birth his mickey mouth proclaimed him, but tho facility with which he rolled his ghb tongue around to French, German and English languages made the eves of our un sopblillca cd KackcnsacLers stick out. The first week he 'proposed to build a machine shop, the second week he thought he would establish a newspaper, but the third week he hied himself away dog and all, his boots, hat and pockets fil.ed with Wichita Greenbacks Aiiot sweet Dwyer; ion voyage innocent one. The e'oom ol Winner & McNutl, tue fiends who cu sed our city with the committal of the foulest act lecorded in the unuals ol crime, has been fi-cd. The Sup; erne Court of Kan sas, list week; dcn'ed he applicat'oj of their couasei for a new , ial al.mlng the rulinjs and findings r Judge Campbell. The judg ment ws most righlcous. A thousand years of compulsalory labor and punishment by simplo confinement Would not atone lor the dark deed perpetrated aga'nst the life of their unsuspecting victim on that Christmas morn lag. For fiendish de'alls and blood-curdling consummation the entrapping andmu dering of the inoffensive "Ter " ooly as a horrible by-play to dcfiaud a llfo insurance company, finds few parallels in the catalogue of cr'mc. Much as we aro oppoed to the summary ven geance ol mob law, those wretches might have been pulled i'mb lrom limb without a protest They were devils incarnate. The old cellar it 73 Main stiect, into which the burning oody of "re"," eatuiatcd with he o scne, fell , half consumed, still s ands open. No building has been erected upon the silo of tha b act cr'mc. A true bistorv of the daji naolc deed should be pr nted and hung up Iu each of .bcrce'ls, that they mijht each day be brou'.iHtace u face with tho tcn-'bls story until their beads became jray and their faces funowed vv'ta remorse. Tha Siot: Iad'ins and Wica'ts Senator Ingalls submitted a resolution re questing the Secretary of the Intcnor to re port to the Senate immediately what edot the Government had made to removo the Sioux Indians from their present reservation to the Indian Tcrritoiy. A few weeks sinco one hundred of these Sioux passed through Wichita, slopping here for a few days. They went to look at the country, and we believe they report tnat it is in all lespects satisfac tory to them, at least Colonel Boone, who had thcin in charge, intimates as much. He has gone to Washington. Thoro is considerable opposition in this Slate, alo upon the part ol Kansas City, to the removal of these Indians into the Tcrritorv ; not that any tiouble is anticipated, but from the fact tbat such a pol icy tends to the postponement! the opening ol the Territory to settlement. Aslaras Wich ita and her interests arc concerned we are not averse to the proposed change for many lea sons not accessary to mention at this time. So long as we continue to be tbc head of wagon transportation lor supplies to agencies and forts we can a Cord to be patient ov cr the impatience of others' adversely affected. Let 'cm come. To te memori cf Grant Grunge lit. 053, Scdg- tciel County, Xantat : Wiiekeas, In view of the fact tint brother and sister Beaeh, members of our Giange, aio about to lcmove from our midst, thereby severing their long existing and harmonious assoc'utions with us- therefore Rerouted. In considerat"on of those friendly relations which vvc have so long maintained; those brotherly ties which have so firmly and prohtably united us together, we deem it just to oui selves and duo to brother and sis ter Beach to unanimously express our re spect for them. HesoheJ, That in brother and siter Beach we recognize good and true Patrons, and hsnored members ol society. Jittohfd, That wmlo we highly prizo their associations as Pattons and neighbor, and painfully l egret their separation lrom us, wr none tho less extend to them our best wishes for their future, prosperity and happiness. Retailed, That we take pleasure In recom mending them to the members of our Order and to all others with whom they may here after be happily identified. The abov e resolutions were unanimously adopted by Grant Grange. II. L. Dew HtG, Master. Some More Shooting. Last Friday morning a wagon drove up in front of the offices of Drs. Allen and Fabnquo which contained a wounded man, who was bleeding about the face and spitting blood. While Drs. Allen and Fahrique, assisted by Dr. Henderson, were attending to the wound ed man we learned from Mr. Bojcr and oth ers, who brought the wounded man in, that his name was Dwyer; that he lives twelve miles southeast of WInfield; that he, with others were on their road with loads of wheat for Wichita, and had gone into camp on Bit ter creek, in 'lowley county; that during the night one Hornaman who liv cs between Grouse and Slh cr creeks, came along vv itn uls team, as was supposed, and abstracted sev era! bags of wheat from the wagons in camp, then kept on bis way. The wheat being missed in the morning, Dwyer got on one ol his horses and followed the thief, overtaking htm on Gyp sum creek, a few miles south ol this place. Upon demanding his wheat Hornaman told him to stand back, at the same time drawing up an old musket, which he discharged at Dyer. The guu was loaded with bird shot and took effect principally in his face. Sev cral ol them were exliacted, we believe. Sheriff Dun ning and E. J. McMurray immediately started in pursuit of the would-be murderer, but cume back, after a thorcugh search without him. It afterwards seems that as soon as he had committed the act he drove down into tho bed of the creek, where he laid all day and when he attempted to drive away at night was seen by Mr. Pink Fouts and .one ol the Massey boys, who attempted to capture him, but It being dark the man escaped, leaving his team which tbey took and put in the stable, but which was gone next morning. During the day he was overtaken near his home, which is at Lilllec Dutch, and brought back and lodged In the Wichita jail, and to-lay, Wednesday, he will have his examination. The wounded man Is not fatilly injured, but it Is feared that he may loso one of his eyes. The First Freabyteri&n Church of Wichita. The Presbyterian Church of our city held its annual meeting for the election of officers, and presentation of annual reports, on last Wednesday evening. The audience was un usually large for the occasion, being composed of the members of tbc Church and friends of the cause. Tho pastor, He v. J. P. flarscn, presided. The first report presented was that of the society, by the socrctary, D. A. Mitch ell. The report shows that the society was first incorporated in 1S70, and tbat new ar ticles of incorporation were filed with the Secretary ofState during the year past, giv ing the society more authority in extending and perpetuating its objects of usefulness. The society is free from debt and owns prop erty of an estimated valuation of $7,000, which includes the parsonage and the church edifice in Its present unfinished condition.

Queen, and a host of others, that hive as much speed, and more endurance than the produce ol any other horse,) by Mambrino chief ; dam by Ga noT he by American Eclipse, out of Betsy, by Sir Archie ; first dam Capitola (tho dam ot Woodpecker Gold Dust) by Bob Jordon. he by imported Jordon, 2nd dam Wino by Woodpecker (the sire of Gray Eagle.) Modoc Is a bcautilul blood bay with black points, 10 hands high, weighs about 1,100 pounds and in form and symmetry will com pare favorably with any horse in the country. He was loalcd April Cth, 1871 ; being bred for the stud more particularly ; consequently has been handled but little, but has splendid ac tion, and shows great promise of speed. He is a splendid breeder. I have two orhis colt jcarlings, at my stables, that I will take great pleasure in showing, one of which we have been driving a little that vvc think wil rank favorably with any horse in the United States. He will be exhibited in harness at the Wichita fair next week. Anybody conversant with the stud book will see at a glance his fam ily on one side are thoroughbreds, and on the other side trotters equal to any. Modoc will make the fall season at the Wichita Stud Stable, coni mencini Sept 1st at the very low price of $25 the season, with the privilege ol return ing mare in the spring if she tails to breed or another in her place ; which makes it equal to an insurance. The spring season will com mence March 1st 1877 at same place at 1 30 the season. I will give two prcmuiums, in gold, for the two best colts, to be. cxhitbited at the Stable November 15tb, 1877 best 15, 2nd best 810.

Pr.. lunch lwice a day 10 a. m. and at 10 i3-tr p.m. Tho Singer Sowing Machine Over one million and a half In use. Tho most durable and lightest running machine in the w orld. As an ev idence, tho Singer, Rem ington and Wheeler & Wilson were invented about the same time and put into market, and at the rrcf cnt day the Sinser has over one million and a hair In use, the Wheeler & Wil son has about fiv e hundred thousand and the Remington has the small, insignificant num ber of live thousand nine hundred and tlftv three, which can be seen on the upper end .of the needle burr, which makes the Remington the last ecoice ot the people, and they would not have sold one quarter that number had they not sold them under a fictitious name. For many years the Remington machine com pany have attempted to force their machines on the market as tho Remington, but failed, which reminds me of several occurrences. Fifteen j ears ago the third day ol July, I was in Bloomington Illinois, stopping with a friend by the name of D. II. Horner. There were two ageuts at the place, the Wheeler & Wilson and the Remington. The Wheeler A WiNon agent had confidence enough in his machine to sell it on Us own reputation, but tbc Remington agent's confidence failed him, and he attempted to sell it as tho improved Weed. Some five years ago, while I was sell ing the nowc, I happened to meet an agent that was selling the Remington. He bad as little confidence in his machine as the first one I met, and he attempted to sell it as the improved Howe, and 1 have been creditably intormed that the Reraiugton agents aro sell ing their machines here as the improved Singer, which is false. There is no improv ed Singer except the original one, which cannot be sold iu the Southwest except by or through me. Those who wish to buy the Remington aro welcome to, but I deem it my duty to inform the good people of the South west, through the columns of jour paper, so they will not be imposed upon in buying ma chines. A machine that cannot be sold on its ow u reputation should not be sold on the merits ol a machine that has been long tried and proved, without doubt, tho best in the world. The impositions offered arc of the deepest dye. W. Mason, General Agent for the Southwest. Wichita, June 27, 187C 14-Cm Luxuries!
