joarned. W L. STANLEY, Clerk
The District Court, which includes his honor.
Judge Campbell, County Attorney Stanley,
Clerk Reeves, Sheriff Massey, the jury, twen-
ty lawyers, and clouds of witnesses, moved
back to the old quarters, and now rests and
grinds beneath the shadow OF the EAGLES
wings. The move couldn't be avoided. The
judge was cross, the lawyers did not know
what their cases were nor when they came on,
the Jury was deaf the witnesses dumb, the
sheriff in continual stew, and George Reeves,
instead of swearing the fellows with uplifted
hands, simply stood and cussed them and all
on account Of that eternal hash-mi So won-
derfal were the effects of the change, that
eolored brother, who was accused of stealing
a pair Of horses which he had hired to go
chicken hunting with, and which were found
in his possession lbs miles away when he was
arrested, was instantly and unanimously
cleared-thc prisoner himself even doubling
his own guilt as he nnocently smiled and told
how he had, through The wiles OF that abb
sorbing coored lady, fallen into temptation.
Mir. Alex. Caldwell, President OF The Kan
sas Manufacturing Company, Leavenwor tn,
Kansas, was in the city on Tuesday, looking
after the interests of the Kansas wagon which
his company manufactures. The popularity
of these homemade wagons isincreasng won
deriully, not only in this State, but in the
western Territories. In fact he was on his
way to Trinidad, Colorado, where a large
number Of this most excellent wagon is annu-
ally sold. To give an idea of their business
he stated that thirty car loads of three years
seasoned wagon material was shipped to them
last month from Indiana and Ohio Besides.
The company are having large amounts of

the makeup of vehicle until it is at least
three years old. Mr. C. says-and he is right
that wagon, TO become popular, must be
SO made as to not only wear long time, but
run lightly. 1t is estimated that our State
buys ten thousand wagons annually. All this
money might be kept within the State, and
should be. An agency will be established in
;.l,is for tlo al.
lent wagons. Mr.. Caldwell bears the reputa- |
ton of being one of the most successful and
energetic business men in the west and we
have no doubt that the Kansas wagon, in
year or two hence, VIII be IA popular vehicle |
throughout the entire west.
IL Wichita Is the busiest town in tho State |
the streets and corners around the depot, |
Mills and elevator are the busiest portion of
the busy town. There are fellows out there
whose sole business seems to be filing up
checks on the bank. The Patrons warehouse
is full of wheat, the agent, j. G. Sampson,
and his employees busy cleaning aud shipping
the valuable grain. A runway or embankment
has been built OH the south end OF the Patrons
warehouse, and teams drive right into the
second story. The new side track is in and
runs along by the ware house, across tho
street TO that Of of English, Todd & Harrold-
son. Several cars were being loaded at the
time of our appearance. We counted thirty
four wagon loads of wheat on sale at one
time. The hotels, grocery stores, coal, lime
aud stone offices ali seemed alive. Fenlon
and Thompson were making out the shipping
bills for a train Of OK wagons, loading for the
Indian Territory. AT the depot several teams
were receiving freight for the towns and
counties south and west, and in each of the
lumber wards of Oliver and Dean teams were
loading with fencing and building material.
Stepping into the City Mills we found every
body on a rush. The never ending belts OF
the elevator and their cups were moving up,
up with their aonotonous sound of zlip-zlip,
each loaded with the golden grain of the val
ey. Sixteen hundred sacks OF -four lay piled
up in one huge stack, waiting shipment. Four
hundred sacks are shipped each day OH an
average, in additi on to that supplied TO the
nome market. A Mr.. Jackson, of Winfield, is
putting up grain house aOx5o feet just east
If the depot, Reese Il Sawyer doing the work.
Jhas. Marsh, the railroad agent, was expect
I'd home daily from the mountains, but his
assistants appeared to have matters well in
lsnd. The main freight depot is being mate
tally enlarged. When anybody thinks bust
less is dull let them spend an hour in the
yicinity Of the depot and elevator, among the
houses, moving trains, wagons
md the business men on that end of Douglas
Avenue. and we guarantee that they will find
t interesting.
