Hon. G. R. Archer, who camo into the city a few days ago on business, is one of the heavy land-owners of central Kansas. As he is well known and prominent in a number of counties, his opinions are sought and people usually profit by his advice.

"Ob, well, the wheat crop is simply immense; all up in good "shape. A vast breadth was cut. True the excessive rains shrunk the graiu some. The corn crop is very fine. Can't tell just what it will do.

If wo can get a fair price for it, and if we can escape the trusts, combinations and the wheat bears, we ought to receive enough from this crop to pay two-thirds of all the mortgage indebtedness. I don't think that there is or ever has been a country that groaned so lustily under the burden of immense crops as Kansas does today. A travel of thirty miles per hour through helds of wheat and past dwellings, fit abodes for the gods, a man is surprised with the facts that be long to a great peoplo in a great country, at a great time. The engine seems to breathe the inspiration and chafes under restraint and leaps forward at double length at every revolution. You can realize after wheezing up one hill and rattling down another in Missouri or Arkansas the instant you strike Kansas as by the rapid, easy motion of the train.

What do you think of "Wichita and her future destiny? was asked. "Wichita is a giant on the plains. It is wonderful to coutempHtfe what has been accomplished here in so short a time." I think that less than oner quarter of a century ago the buffalo and wild elk grazed where now stands those collossal blocks and palaces of brick and stone. It takes European cities three to five hundred years to accomplish vhat this did in fifteen years, and yet people in other states at times are disposed to turn up their noses poke sticks at Kansas about going back to the wife's people. Of course they go back to the their wife's folks, but to take them something to eat and live on.

True, Wichita out crowed the country and to some extent became abnormal. Wichita with her known enterprise and dash should bend every energy towards turning trade to Galveston. Wichita should be the first great distributing center north from Galveston, which by nature has far more commer cial advantages than Chicago. Galveston should and will be the great commercial school for all the original Louisiana purchase, which is an empire within itself. It contains more productive fertility than Austria, Prussia, Holland, Switzerland, England, France, Spain and Italy com bined, and see what swarms of population they support.

While speaking of Wichita I can not but speak of the EAGLE, which is very popular in our part of the state. Certhage owed her greatness to Hannibal and Wichita owes hers to the Eagae. That is my opinion. The merchants in my district are gradually turning all their business to Wichita and our stock men are sending their cattle to the Wichita market." THE LEGEM) IJK.vUTirUli." HELD UP. Last night as Dr.

Trimble, the Missouri Pacific railroad surgeon, was going from to the depot to take the train for his home, in Towanda, he was accosted near the corner of Second and "Water street by two colored damsels of not very savory character, if their actions are any guides. They tried all sorts of schemes to work the doctor for a portion of his money and finally began pushing and pulling him about, when ho left them and went to the depot. When he got on the train and was asked or his pass ha reached for his pocket-book, which was missing. He at once suspected what had become of it and, having the train stopped, he notified Officer Sutton of his los3 and pointed out a couple of women who he thought were the guilty parties. They were arrested and taken to the police station, where they were locked up to await a hearing, which will come up today.

Dr. Trimble stayed over to be present at the trial. AN OM1-TJME WICU1TAN. Rev. John Kirby, of California, a notice of whose expected visit to this city was published a few weeks since, arrived in the city last evening and is a guest of Col.

Murdock's. He was taken sick at Emporia, and thereby detained several days at that point. He expects to visit some at Wellington this week, but may spend Sabbath in this city, in which event due notice will be given. J. W.

Piatt of the Chicago Grocer, is in the city in the interests of his paper. Mr. Piatt comes to' this city once a year and stated that he was very much surprised to find Wichita in the good condition both the city and business men are in. Mr. Piatt says that if eastern people would only come out to Kansas and investigate for themselves, that this wonderful state would fascinate them and but few would returu to the east to live.

FOOTLIGHT FLASHES. Charles McCarthy, the stranger who was very ill at the police station yesterday, is rapidly recovering. During the storm last night a post at the corner of Lawrence and Thirteenth streets was struck by lightning. No serious damage resulted. H.

B. Keeler, formerly division, freight and passenger agent for the Santa Fe here, who has been hero for a short visit, started for his home in San Diago, last evening. Rev. J. W.

Tull, of Kingman, was in the city yesterday shaking hands with his numerous acquaintances. C. E. Elliott leaves for Tacoma, over the Rock Island this morning on a visit during the heated term. M'ssAnna Wilson has returned homo from Chicago, where she has been attending the Northwestern university for the past year.

Brown's military bund will give another open air concert in Hyde park Thursday evening, instead of on Friday evening was announced. E. K. Trego, of Eagle township, was in the city j-esterday accompanied by W. T.

Muriit, of Buck county, Pa. Mr. T. says we are all happy up our va3-. T.

II. Brooke, of El Reno. is in the city on business. He reports business in the territory slow nt present owing to the f.irmers being busy on their farms. C.

H. Williams returned from a trip to Geuda Springs yesterday. Ho reports a large contingent from Wichita at the springs who are all having a good time. George Gallant, of Wabash avenue, left for St. Louis Inst night on business.

Mrs. Gallant leaves in a short time for Chicago, where she will receive treatment for her eyes. Dr. Sewall, of California, has accepted a call from the Lincoln street Presbyterian church of ichita. He has arrived and ill be followed by his family in a few Jays.

The janitor of the court house is plowing up the grounds, preparatory to sowiug Hue grass. The commissioners intend to place the grounds in excellent condition within a vear. Rev! Eugene R. Shippen, of Wichita, son of Rev. Dr.

Shippen, of All Souls' church, Washington City, preached a strong sermon Sunday morning in his father's pulpit, in that city, from Longfellow's poem, "The Legend Beautiful:" "Hads't thou stayed I must have fled, That is what the vision said." Following is a brief sj'nopsis of Rev. Shippen's discourse as published in the Post of that city: The story was briefly retold how the work in his cell was blessed with a vision of his Lord; how the convent bell called him from his celestial visitor to feed the poor; how, true to duty, ho obeyed the unwelcome summons, and on his return found that the blessed vision still remained. In a hard, matter of fact, practical ase. the poet "justifies the transcend ental spirit. He reconciled theology and sociology, and gave a meaning to mysticism, uniting past and present in indissoluble bonds of the suirit.

Dr. Shippen said the legend served to illustrate the experience of communities and individuals. The city of Lyons, lor example, has conspicuously its mount of virion and its mount of labor. "The two hillocks, one with its churches, the other with its warehouse nud factories, stand in no hostile relative to each other," he said. "The citizens have in character partaken of this seeminc dualism.

Lyons' two hills were not in vain. Let the priest and the merchant respect each other. Not a church edifice but testifies to the gen erosity and labor of the man oi affairs; not a business community but owes much to the influence of the church in behalf of mercantile honor and personal integrity." Every community, he said, had its visions and its seemingly conflicting duties; its cloister nnu its market place; its hour of prayer and its hour of labor. So it is with the individual. We dream of happiness, but duty calls for self-sacrifice when happiness has not fled.

It is found when the day's work is nobly done. Tho world called Theodore Parker from his books, which ho loved, onto the lecture platform for humanity's sake, but if ever a man was sustained throughout life by a blessed vision it was Parker. Each has his mount of vision and his mpunt of labor. To stay in tho cloister without eoinc into tho needy world is wrong. Unite life's aspirations and its activities, its prayers and its labors, and make it whole and sweet.

Mr3. VanNess, Mrs. Syl Dunkin, Mrs. Hayden and Mrs. Capt.

Wallace, will leave for the poor farm this morning, where Mrs: Sarah J. Dudley will give a dinner party to some of her lady friends, including the ladies named. The latest from the mountain trout country is that tho fish have both the headache and jawache, the latter so badly that they can not bite, since receiving the list of names embracing the party that start from El Dorado and Wichita this week. Some gentleman, whose name we failed to learn, brought a lot of beans to the Board of Trade rooms yesterday, the longest of which measured twenty-two inches in length. Tho same party brought in a stalk of sweet corn which measured eleven feet six inches in length.

Evangelists Rhodes and Miller, who have remained in the city since the close of the Riverside revival, leave today for Argonia where they will conduct a camp meeting, which is to last ten days. A large number of Wichita people will attend this camp meeting. The electrical' storm last night was pretty general over the state. Word came from Hutchinson last night that the lightning had done considerable damage there. A dispatch from Burrton says that the severest storm of the season passed over that town last night.

The fire department was called out last evening by an alarm sent in by telephone that the Gandolfo building was on fire. The boys from engine house No. 1 were the first to arrive and found that the fire was only a scare caused by the janitor burning some waste paper in the furnace, thereby causing lots of smoke and considerable stench. The six new electric cars which were received a few days ago are at the car shops where they are being wired. As soon as completed they will be sent out on tho road, so people who are still riding in old dilapidated cars will be glad that they will soon be superseded by some of the finest manufactured.

A small fire from the electric wire in tho tailor store of filler Hull in the Sedgwick building, was the cause of one of the firemen of Engine house No. 1 com-iug very near getting killed last night. They answered the alarm and were using the vBabcock chemical engine to put out the blaze when the engine exploded. Very fortunately no one was injured. E.

W. Moore, under sheriffof Greenwood county, is in the city looking up some stolen property. The prisoners who were arrested hero some time ago for horse stealing are in jail in Greenwood county. Since their incarceration considerable of the stolen property, such as the horses, harness and saddles have been found. Some of these were found in Kingman, and others in this county.

The under sheriff is at present looking for a wagon which was stolen by the thieves. Mr. Chas. Cook, of Stevens county, one of the men whom Sam Wood so relentlessly hounded, is in the city, a guest of Gen, Murray Meyers. Mr.

Cook, who is a quiet. intelligent and prepossessing gentleman was in town on the day of the Wood tragedy, having just reached there from Quincy, HI. Among the papers taken from Woods body was a letter addressed to Mr. Cook, but he has never beeu able to obtain it. It has been learned, however, that Wood had recommended that any further prosecution be abandoned.

Messrs. J. F. Wares, of Chicago, tho general manager of the Burton Car company; L. D.

Vouk, of Fort Worth, general superintendent of the New England Cat company; George W. Dice, of Kansas City, general agent of the same company, and J. L. Pennington, of Fort Worth, the general live stock agent ot the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe road, have been in tho city several days, inspecting a new and improved cattle car which has just been turned out from the shops at Burton. Mr.

Wares stated to an Eagle reporter last night that he anticipated that the car would be largely in demand in a short time. The Burton Car works at this city will manufacture about 2,000 cars of this pattern, which will require a large additional force of men. Less than half the big theatrical managers in New York made money last sea-hon. McKee Rankin will star by and by in a play picturing the presidential life of Abraham Lincoln. Charles Wyndham, the famous English actor, will try another American tour.

Hia last one was not extensively profitable. Richard Mansfield says he shall dispense with the luxury of a manager for a time at least and look after iis own business interests. Rose Cogh Ian says she will ride a regular cavalry charger in her new play, "Dor-orthy's Dilemma." She is an expert horsewoman. Anna Katherine Greene devoted a fnll year of work to preparing the dramatization of her famous novel, "The Leavenworth Case," which Joseph Haworth will produce next season. Ben Teal, who has the reputation 6f being the best stage manager in America, is also an expert translator and adapter for the stage and an occasional contributor to magazines and newspapers.

Orders have been issued in tije court theaters at Munich that no singer or actor shall acknowledge applause in any way. A like rule prevails at Vienna in the theatera subsidized by the government, Agnes Huntington's new theater will be opened in London next April. She will come to America again next season, and will appear in "Paul Jones," "Fatinitza" and another and new opera for sixteen weeks.

One and. one-third will be the railway rate of fare for that association from all points in Kansas and from KaaiA and St. Joseph, Mo. The usual introductory service of song with its unfailing inspiration, made fitting preparation of mind and heart for tho preaching of the word which is "The seed of the kingdom of God." Text: Romans 3. Subject, "Justification." The evnngelist in his introductory remarks called attention to the importance of a proper discrimination nud definition of certain scripture terms, to-wit: "Regeneration, Sanctification, Conversion, Justification." In order to understand what God would have us know of all these terms we have the infallible word of God, precept and example, and tho man who would preach the Gospel of Christ must preach the truth, the fact', the promises aud the threatenings of the Gospel, each and all in their legitimate order aud for the specific purposes defined in the word of God.

The fear of the threatened storm inter fered with the order and full work of the meeting and the evangelist closed his description of the subject in hand, aud said we will complete the discussion in the future. An invitation was immediately given when seventeen persons came for ward, nine of whom made confesion of faith in Christ and the others were received into fellowship, making the full number to date S35. There will be service at the South Lawrence church of Christ at 3:90 p. m. and service nt the Tabernacle at p.

5, on all the roads in Kansas. The dance at Riverside park last evening was well attended, but tho threatening clouds soon dispersed those who had assembled for an evening's pleasure. Some of the braver ones remained longer than their companions, who quickly received their reward when tho rain began to fall in torrents and the lightning flashed on all sides. E. H.

Overman received a telegram yesterday afternoon from Eureka, Springs, stating that his brother, who has been very ill for several weeks, died there about noon yesterday. The remains are to be taken to the parents' home at Springfield, and Edgar will start today to be present at the funeral there tomorrow. A. J.

POWDER AND BALL. Tho new United States man-of-war Newark has been tested and approved by the inspectors. She can be depended upon to make 1D knots an hour. The new warship of tho English navy, the Royal Sovereigu, was constructed in seventeen months, whidh is said to be the best time on record for such work.

The Italian army contains nearly men, or, to give the exact figures, Among them are 85,000 AlDine soldiers trained and inured to tho hardships oi mountain warfare. Colonel Nicholas Lebel, inventor of the nlle, is dead. He was fifty-threo years of age, received his military education nt St. Cyr, and was a captain of infantry during the Franco-Prussian war. A new system of protection for gunnera in exposed places on men-of-war in action is to be adopted by the navy department.

Experiments are now being made looking to the attainment of that object, and the best result obtained thus far is from a wire webbing made of intertwining spirals remarkably flexible and strong. A recent decision of tho United States war department touching the pay of enlisted men is as follows: "A certificate ot merit granted to an an enlisted man for distinguished service shall entitle him, from the date of such service, to additional pay at the rate of two dollars per month while he is in the military service. Al though such service may not bu contiuu ous." WAYSIDE GLEANINGS. Gen. J.

II. Lyon, of Leavenworth, was in the city last evening, stopping at the was awarded the silver edal, and in 18S2 Carey. The general is enroute to Winfield on business for his road, tho Missouri Pacific. He reports travel greatly increased and says that his road is securing all the available rolling stock to carry the immense wheat crop. Dr.

W. A. Minick met with quite a misfortune yesterday evening, which caused him the loss of what had the promises of making one of tho most noted speeding horse3 in the state. It wa a fine, high bred yearling cole, which injured itself by falling on a fence which it was trying to jump over. It was so badly hurt that it had to be shot.

The county commissioners let the contract for fencing the court house grounds to the Stewart Iron works of this city yesterday. The fence is to consist of a stone coping to stand, 12 inches above the ground on which an iron fense will be fastened, and will be built to completely enclose the entire grounds. The work is to be com pleted by November 1st 1S91. riCMi; The Epworth League of the First M. church are making extensive arrangements to entertain their friends in Lin-wood park, Friday afternoon.

The committee on entertainment intend to see that a program befitting the occasion shall be prepared, not forgetting the menu. A party of three, consisting of H. Klein, George Klem and S- Hartman, stopped in the city last night. These gentlemen are all well known and well-to do citizens of Barton county, and are making a trip to Oklahoma overland in a covered wagofl, for the pleasure of the thing. They have all the equipments of the hunter and fisherman with them and will amuse themselves by hunting and fishing along the line.

A reception was given to Rev. Dugal McCormick by the members of St. Paul's E. Church last, eveuing, which proved a very enjoyable and pleasant event. Mr.

McCormick is tho young new pastor of that church and succeeds Rev. Samuel Weir, who was transferred to the Wyoming conference recently. Mr. McCormick has just closed the work as missionary of Sedgwick county for the American Sunday School union. This is the pastor's first charge, and the occasion last evening was the reception tendered him na the gold medal.

He has rescued between thirty and forty persons from drowning, and besides tho two medals of the life saving service he holds the gold medal of tho New York Benevolent association and a gold medal from a private citizen whose child he saved from drowning some years ago. William Daily, of Santa Cruz, wears a gold medal awarded to him for having saved thirty persons from drowning. Dominick Ryder, of Rockaway beach, saved eleven lives between 1376 and 1SS2, and was awarded a cold medal. Many of his rescues wero remarkable. On one occasion he brought ashore from far out in the breakers a man and his wife, both insensible.

The same year he swam out to where a raan was said to have sunk, saw nothing but some air bubbles, and dived. He was immediately grappled with under water and was forced to rid himself of the maniac grip of the drowning man by a blow which made him let go his hold and drove him to the surface. Ryder then seized him from behind, under the armpits, and rushed him to the beach, wnere aa hour work was required to restore consciousness. Twice this swimmer plunged into the surf with his clothmc on and rescued drowning Dersons. Once he swam out at midnight and in utter dartness and rescued a woman wno was attempting Etiicide.

There is no cure for talking while asleep. The ordinary watch gives 110,144,000 ticks during a year. The penny toll system on the New York and Brooklyn bridge is of the past.

According to the latest municipal reports there are in St. Petersburg 153 streets and squares without pavement, sewers, or gas lights. They are the breeding spots of disease and crime in the great metropolis. The great treasury vault at Washington covers more than a quarter of an acre and is tvelve feet deep. Recently there was $00,000,000 in silverstored there an amount that weighed over 3,000 tons and would load 175 freight cars.

A Boy Treed by a Wild Cat. Charlie Heath, of Brooks, a bov sixteen years old, was attacked in that town the other day by a strange animal, probably a wildcat.

If baldness is a sign of culture, something "devoutly to bo wished," we shall perform a public service in showing how this condition can be quickly reached. Non-scientific people will possibly study our advice in order to do the opposite, and as long as possible. protest at once against such misuse of our wisdom. Before enumerating tho ways to become bald, it may be better to saj a few words regarding the necessity of an art to accom plish that end.

Doubters might say that there was no art in becoming bald; that time and ago would accomplish that desideratum without other aid. "We lose, in the course of tune," said Voltaire, "our teeth, our hair and our ideas." That may be true as far as tho teeth and ideas are concerned, but we cannot always depend upon losing our hair. There are many aged men with heavy heads of hair. The hope, therefore, that ago will make ono bald is deceptive. Persons who long for tho proofs of culture must resort at once io methods of art.

It is not even possible to depend upon loss of hair after sickness, as it usually grows again when health has returned. But art accomplishes oilier results. EFFECT OK HEAD COVERINGS. The first good rule is to keep the head warm. In hammer if you wish to become bald do not wear a straw hat.

On the contrary, let your headgear be a felt or cloth hat, a derby or a htovepipe. In winter always wear a fur cap. While in tho houso at all times of tho year do not fail to wear a fez or an oil cap. Women, whoso light hats do not wear off the hair rapidly enough, may accomplish that cud by using heavy switches of false hair. A roll of false hair will work even more rapidly than a fur cap, 113 the hairs will fall out by the hundreds when the roll in heavy enough.

Tho beloved nightcap, so dear to ourgiandmothers, is to 1m highly recommended also. The helmet of the officer and policeman is also a splendid invention. What the effect of head coverings? They make the head perspire. Moisturo is the deadly enemy of hair. On the temples aud the back of the head near the neck, usually untouched by the hats and cap's, it is seldom that ono saw baldness.

On the other hand, tho hair usually falls out on the parts of the head which are covered. A bald rim; often marks the position of the hat or cap. As perspiration destroys tho hair, frequent use of steam baths is to bo highly recommended. The habitues of the Russian and Turkish baths can show, almost without exception, beautiful bwld pate. As stated above, moisture is the deadly enemy of the hair.

Consequently, diving, when one is in bathing or swimming, is a praiseworthy practice. The douche is even more effective. 1 cannot praise it too greatly. KAPID JIEAKS EASILY AT ItAXD. The custom of many womou of allowing their wet hair to dry in theair also desfervea to be mentioned here.

The moisture remains longer in the hair when allowed to dry, and acts accordingly. The widespread practice of washing tbo head fo a good thing also. A oomb with moderately narrow teeth will clean tbe head if properly used. However, as it does not destroy the hair rapidly enough, it is advisable to wash it frequently. Eliinger has proved from statistical reports that eighty-flreoutof every hundred fortunate possessors of bald beads have been accustomed to washing thir hair from early childhood.

That is really encouraging. The various hair waters, hair oils, pomades, coloring substances and other inventions of tbe barbers and perfumers must be considered also. They are ail praiseworthy. The pomades and hair olUi accomplish their purpose in varioos ways. The warmth of the head makes thtn rancid and fiticky.
