On the farm of Mr.. James Royal, situated on
the classical (called Cowskin,. happened, dur
ing the late heavy rains, one Of those rarely
seen occurrences, genuine water-spout. Mr..

rolling noise and the sound of rushing waters.
CHANGING in the direction from whence the
sounds proceeded he saw a dark cloud like a

IL has long been apparent that bridge was
needed across the Little arkansas river near
Wichita. The complaint comes longer and
iouder than ever from the other side, since the
continued rains of late have made the river
unfor,lable for the last two weeks. This Is a
serious drawback, not only tothe farmers over
there. who haul their freight from and do their
marketing here, but also to our dealers and to
our entire city in business point of view.
The rich and thickly populated region lying
between the rivers is source of revenue to
the city which it is safe to say is cut OIL. owing
to the high water, for two months at least in
the year from trading at this their most access
able point, and either forced to go to Park
City or do without sometimes even the neces-
saries of life. A petition has gone into the
board of county commissioners, the twenty
eight names on it having been procured in a
single day, for bridge across the Little river
at or near the upper ford on Weidner's place.
The bridge can be located there, or at the ford
by Mungcr's, just where competent engineer
determines is the most economical, safest and
practicable place to put it. We hope an cleo
ton will be called at an early day to vote bonds
Cor this most useful and necessary object. Let
us have a bridge by all means, and let ii be one
for all time-not only substantial, but Ornamen-
tai. The best of stone for piers can now be
procured at Florence, as cheap as our native
rock. We hope the commissioners will take
immediate action in this matter.

Mcclure & Co., lumber dealers, are at Wich-
tia with 4 stock of lumber, not the largest
stock in America, but q stock sufficient for all
demands. W. p. Mcclure was a partner in
the firm of John Wayne Il Co., at Topeka,
Burlingame and Emporia until two years ago
since that time on the L., L. & G. Il. r. at
New Chicago, Thayer and Independence, and
on the NJ, X. Il T. K. X. at Chetopa. Our
shipments last year on those roads were over
500 car loads of lumber. We do not claim to
buy and sell cheaper than any one, but from
our long experience in buying and handling
lumber we know something about it. We are
satisfied to let Chicago make our grades, and
if we cannot sell standard grades we will get
out and quit the trade. Office and yards at
Wichita on Douglas avenue, on the east bank
of the river, between the bridge and the Ave-
