Prof Worrall paid Wichita flying visit on
last Saturday In the interest of the State Gen.
tcnnial Board. He was looking after samples
OF the big corn, fine wheat, barley, oats, etc ,
to be used in ornamentation OF the Kansas
building being erected in Paramount Park.
His stay was necessarily so short that be did
not obtain as fine specimens as we would nave
desired. but he got n very fair showing of
cereals and Mr.. Todd is to forward him 9TH
ers this week. He was delighted with the
EAGLES Centennial collection Of grasses and
grains. and ventured the opinion that few
counties in the State would eclipse it.
The District Court is >till grinding along in
the hall adjoining our office. Ii makes a nice
place for an ordinary loaier to toast his shins.
Under that impression we stepped in the 9TH
er day for an item, but as one set of lawyers
were using another set for witnesses, and the
language being used was of such hig sound
ing character we tarried but moment.
How the jury ever managed to understand
the case We have the least possible idea. So
Infectious and genuine was the technical sur
roundings that a cool atmosphere called out
the following from the Judge: "Sheriff, please
manipulate the poker and irrtate that fire
some what which let us out.
The County Commissioners were in session
two days this week. winding up the county
business for the year 1915. A large number
of bills were passed upon and other important
matters considered. The Board expressed
the conviction that the county ought to do
something towards determining the question
as to whether this valley is underlaid with a
workable vein OF coal In this we fully agree
with them. There is no material question Of
more vital Importance TO cur whole people,
town and county. than that of fuel. If the
matter should be determined by private en-
terprise, and that upon Tie favorable side, it
would, of course. be great thing in favor OF
the individual venturing the expenditure, and
there are parties now endeavoring to solve the
county could we'll afford TO lend a helping
hand. There are two tests bein. made at two
different points in the county at this time.
That Old prognosticator, known as Prof
Tice. Il ST Lofts, ought TO go into the alma
nae business. Old Probabilities at Washing
ton, with all his telegraphic and weather sig
nal rami6catons and connections, does not
know as much AZ a smart pig with straw in
its mouth. Tees prophosics of the weather
this fall and winter have been perfectly mar
velous. He told us our first cold weather
would be 10Th to 2sth Of November. He told
us that the first five days OF December would
be pleasant, then turn suddenly cold He
says about the middle of the month it will be
warm then suddenly cold for two or three
days. 1t will be warm about Christmas and
cold. very cold from New Year till the 9Th Of
January, and so on. The first five days OF
this month were so Warm that much of the
time doors and windows We're left open dur
ing the day Tice says the coming winter
will not be AZ agreeable one because of the
many sudden changes back and forth

years labors, as pastor of the Presbyterian
church OF this city, last Sunday. Mr. Harsen
may be set down as pioneer in its truest
sense. He commenced his labors here when
Wichita could hardly be digniisd by the name
of town. He has now large and interesting
congregation and he commences the labors OF
his fifth year under most encouraging sur
rounings, with the seciety free from deot.aai

that of all the good people OF the place. Else

Two more new store rooms are being fin-
ished up near the City Mills on the north side
OF Douglas avenue. one of which is intended
for drug store aud the other for grocery
store. We are reliably informed that a new
bank will be opened out Immediately at that
end OF the town,too. In talking to Hargi. and
the boys out there about their many improve
ments they did not appear extra jubiiant, only
remarking that they were going to get up Il
petition for the removal of the post Office to
the center Of business, meaning the east end
of Douglas avenue, We found Charley
Marsh enjoying a new and capacious Office
lately set apart in the depot. In answer to
inquiries he said he didn't propose the post
Office should put on any style over him. Iii,
new quarters are certainly very large and
convenient The new Office of the City Mills
is about completed, and Pittenger's new livery
stable is nearly ready for business.
