We presume there can hardly be found i
business man i'm the state of Kansas who has
not heard of and does not know something Of
Hugo Kallak, the great contractor and builder
at the capital city. The nervous. untiring en-
ergy of the man, and the wonderful success
which attends his every enterprise, is but little
short of miraculous. Fourteen years ago he
landed at Topeka with but one dollar in his
pocket; to-day he is wortll-few know how
much. As a contractor he probably has no
equal i'm the state; not that he does jobs lower
than others, but the secret of his success seems
TO be in the rapidity with which he turs off
every job from a cottage To a hundred thousand
dollar building. He Is at present building all
the depots along the line of the railroad. He
paid Wichita visit this week and made ar
engagements to put OF his patent fire-proof roof
on the lIobson and Grcifienstcin block. The
roof is said to be the best known. Mr.. kullak
is large lumber dealer. having yards at several
points in the state. We hear il intimated that
he will start big savings institution at the
capital before long. Long wave the Bismarck

An odd scene might have been witnessed in
squire Van Trees office. last Friday morn

examination upon a charge of vagrancy. To
enter into details might crafty vicious appe-
lite. but would hardly do credit to first-class
family Journal. There are some abuses around
this town that cry for remedial measures long
and loud. 1t is our desire to say nothing in
the EAGLE that might prove detrimental to
the interests of the town, yet outrages upon
all decency should not be tolerated. We hope
that our justices, police judge, the city council
and our police force will hold with a firm and
upright hand such powers As the state and
municipal laws give them. Right and dccency
can, must and will be maintained in our town
of Wichita, a place organized under and hav
ing all the powers of city OF the second class.
We believe all our officers want to do what is
right. Let them do so without fear or favor
and we will guaranty them Endorsement by
the substantial element of Wichita, and pro-
lection. even to the calling in the forces of the
county and state.

We would urge upon the attention OF sedg-
wick and adjoining counties the profifableness
of wheat growing. the great demand for Hour.
and the l,iaptahity Of the soil of this region
10 the production of fall wheat. We hope to
see !, large breadth sown this fall. Put in your
seed early in September. if on sod that has
been broken this year. and not mulch after
that even on old ground. 1t is astonishing the
amount of -four being shipped into and sold at
the different business houses in Wichita. The
fact Of there being 10 mills here yet need not
deter any one. Mills will he built before an
other season. 1t has been sufficiently demon
strated that no better wheat country can be
found in the west than Southern Kansas. We
incline TO the opinion, upon the whole, that
upland prairies are the most sure to produce a
biz crop, yet the bottoms are good enough:
The best wheat that we have noticed this year
was in the fields on the bottoms Of the Cotton
wood and Neu>llo: Don't neglect TO put in
wheat.
