The Chicago Times gives the particulars of
startling case of "bnrying alive" in which,
however, the burial was not completed A Mr.
Muhlbesch of that city was taken suddenly III,
at his residence, and, after lew days, "died."
The undertakel's services were duly performed
the "dead man" was placed in coff1n; the
funeral service was performed in the usual way,
and the funeral cortege went slowly TO the cem-
etery. The coffin enclosed in rough case was
lowered into the grave; and then, as the sexton
was preparing TO cover it with earth, he was
scared by eroan and other noises proceeding
frou the enclosed coffin. Those around the grave
heard the sounds; the women screamed; and
finally the whole company aed to their
carriages. But self-possession returned, the
coffiA was opened, and the "dead man" was
found 10 he alive and conscious. Mr.. Muhlbesch
is now at his home slowly recovering from bis
illness, and from the shock of beng nearly bu-
ried alive. Cases like this are not common;
but those actually buried alive do not come
back TO report their terrible experience of death
in the grave. The fact that such burials are
possible should make the living anxious and
careful 10 know with certainty that the funerals
and graves they prepare are for actual dealL'
and not for its counterfeit appearances.

The eff lrts of a-opautical mechanicians must be
directed 10 secure similar steadluess of motion
for aerial facilities. Granted this, there can be
no reason WHY the power of steam and iron
should not avail 10 secure an aerial motion even

fv by some power distinct from any which
physical science deals with, we seem justified in
believing that the bird NAV be matched or sur
passed by the flying machine, as surely as the
swiftest animals are surpassed by the locomo-
tive. Ii is encouraging TO consider that the ac-
tual amount of power necessary TO convey
weight through the air (if that support he 0e-

Mrs. Minnie Myrtle Miller is coming east to
deliver lectures. She reached Chicago, two days
before Christmas, quite i'll in consequence OF
her long, cold journey across the continent. She
will deliver lecture in Chicago, and, perhaps,
in some other western towns, before coming fur.
ther 10 this direction, "believing western people
will understand her better than those in tie
east" Sue declares earnestly that "she is en-
gagged in lecturing for the sole reason that she
may be able to support her family !"
and that she has no vindictye or
angry feeling towards her late husband, Joaquin
Muller We can believe she speaks the truth,
and that she has actually engaged in lecturina
because she sees in this business the readiest
means of relief from the oppression of poverty.
Her personal character has never been ACCUSED,
she has thlee young children, and she must, as
sue says, "supp' TT her family" She under
stands that her position is "delicate and embar-
RAISING" bat hopes to fad kindness and candid
Judgment. In the course of a few weeks she
will be in this part Of the country.

FRE.-There is no Disgusting the fact of an
apprehension entertained by our business men
Of the liability of destructive fire. Two or
three times this spring have slight alarms al
most caused a panr. Our prevailing winds
are north and south. in which direction lays
Main street. and upon which busy thorough
fare. within the space of half mile. is crowded

4 fire once fairly under Roadway. in aprevai-
ing north or south wind, and no human power
could save our Young and ambitious town from
becoming a smouldering heap of ashes. Our
business men and capitalists must calculate up
on a different class of buildings from those now
crowding this street. \ successful future for
Wichita stands now well nigh assured and
there remains no longer any excuse for the
erection Of temporary buildings upon Main
street, no necessity. now that stone and brick,
both of superior qualities. are obtainable at a
fair price. The brick will soon be burned and
the stone will be drawn down here by the
hundred ear loads within twenty days. In
this connection we invite the attention of our
city council to the feasibility and wisdom Of
creating by ordinance fire district which
shall include both sides of Main street and a
portion Of Douglas avenue. In the mean time
would it not be wise and judicious to put in
pump on every corner within the limits of
the above described terr;tory. Drive wells
with either force pumps or the common sue
ton pumps, can be put down at IA cost not to
exceed SIS to SlS, on contract. They are cheap,
convenient in case ola fire, and the city can
well afford it under the circumstances. fine,

Take down your map and place your finger
upon Wichita. Then run your eye over the
country lying south, southeast and southwest
of this point that will, perforce of circumstan-
ces and selEinterest, become tributary to her.
and honestly decide in your own mind as to
the Importance Of her location and as to her
prospects shipping and wholesale point.
No inland town OF the state rivals her i'm either
of these respects. As the terminus of the only
railroad reaching into this portion of the state
the towns and settlements of the counties of
Howard, Sumner, COwley and portion Of
Butler, in addition to the western portion of
the Indian territory, will come here for all their
goods. We have talked with gentlemen from
Winfield, Arkansas City, Oxford, Caldwell,
Wellington, Douglas and Augusta, all live,
growing business towns supported by good
settlements, and we have heard but the one
sentiment expressed, and that coinciding with
the views above written. They will all come
to Wichita for their goods. The valley Of the
Arkansas lying within the borders of Sedgwck
will alone very soon have population that
will support Wichita with population Of five
or ten thousand souls. How much greater
will be the demand upon her capital and ener-
gies when all the products of the rich and rap
idly developing great Southwest comes pour
ing into her mart in ADDITIONAL making this
their shipping point and commercial headquar-
tiers. To this trade, which must ever increase,
will come the Texas cattle trade, (which we
spoke at some length last week.

fair sample Of what we may expect in the
way Of variety and kinds Of smell, and the diff
fcrent thckncsses of the stratas, was given
last Saturday. when it was little warmer
than any previous day this spring, with stiff
breeze blowing from the south. Pedestrians
on Main, Market and Water streets, anywhere
north of Douglas avenue were RECALLED with
olcaginous defiant, concentrated and moist,
with the quintessence of putrifaction. Oh !!
was the exclamation of those who. according
to size, had their olfactores salutcd while
plodding nose high i'm the different stratiiica-
tons. Many differed as to the rcscmblances,
but tail man who was sitting on the sidewalk
said, as he got up and passed through them
with his nose, that there were two hundred
and forty distinct and odd smells prevailing
there and then; this confirmed all dissenting re-
ports. All, however. agree that some sanitary
measures are needed, and heavy fines should
be imposed on those who will throw slops, old
meats and decaying vegetable matter at their
doors or on the street.

special mention, "a expressive of the cOmpara-

The ..Frontier Serenaders'' will please ac-
ccpt our warmest thanks for an exceedingly
rich musical treat on last Friday evening.
The night was quiet, the restless throng around
the ever busy Empire House had ceased its
tramp and murmur. The laughing silvery-
mid sea of tinted cloudlcts, casting here a
shadow and there bright spot, looked smi-
ingly down on country and town. when unan-
nOunced and unexpected strain of richest
melody came pouring through our window,
taking captive our half awakened senses. Like
far off angel music, the strains trembed upon
each passing zephyr until the air seemed burth-
ened with dissolying harmOnies. The solo and
chorus which followed the first burst fully
aroused us to the fact that some one was being
honored by the ''Fronticrs," of whose per-
formance we had before heard. Little think
ing the occasion particularly our own we
remained quiet and enjoyed the treat. We
now congratulate the gentlemen composing the
club and assure them that we have listened to
few professionals that could surpass them in
cultivation of voice or perfection of time. Is
pecially do we take pleasure i'm compimenting
the solo of Mr.. George Henry, who has few
peers off the boards. The club consists of
Charles Schattner, Fred. Schattner, Geo. Clark,
J. A. Arment, George NJ. Richards, Eugene
Schattner and Geo. Henry. May they often
awaken the echoes of this valley with their
choice melodies.
