The Day Express from Kansas City has a
magnificent ParIor Car from Kansas City to

Missouri River to New York in fifty 900 hours,
an advantage to the travelling public never be-
fore offered or attempted by any ether line.
Also bear in mind that this is the only
line running through cars between Kansas
City, Indianapolis and Cincinnati without
change.
And we therefore feel confident the public
at large will appreciate the above advantages,
and continue in the future as in the past, to
give the Old Reliable Hannibal Il St. Joseph

Following the late action OF other railroads
leading east, cur railroad has raised the
freight on wheat to st. Louis. We are sorry
for this, and think after establishing our rates
they should have been held sacred until at
least bad weather had set in. The receipts for
freight ard travel 10 and from Wichita are
greater that at any town or city en- the Atch-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad from Las
Animas TO Atchison. Maybe somebody feels
like disputing that assertion. 1t does seem
pretty strong, but we notice that the trains
coming into and going from this city are larg er
than from any other single point. The COM
bined wheat ard cattle shipments now rival
those Of the cattle trade in its palmiest days.
IL the railroad men don't lose sight of their
own interest, the shipments of grain this
winter will be perfectly stupendous.

That so-Called Beer Garden.


The fashion in which that garden is run is a
disgrace TO the city, an outrage upon decent
people, and a shame to our authorities. Quiet
evenings are rendered hideous by the brawl-
ings OF the lewd of both sexes, intermngled
with a jingling orchestra, horrible oaths and
miscellaneous knock-downs. The merest child
in tie town is nightly made aware oil The
dark side of life, and innocence and virtue
compelled to view the flauntipgs of shame and
hear the rsvelings of the drunken and vile, in
the most public manner. We have refrained
from saying anything heretofore through these
columns, hoping that a sense of decency upon
the part OF the council and city authorities
would come to the rescue, but their actions
prove the mercst farces, making an unhappy
contrast with the action of James q. Hope,
who, when Mayor, without waiting FOR an or
dinance or order Of the city council. marched
TO the river bank and told Rowdy Joe and his
rowdy crew to get away with their unfit en-
terprisc, or he would pitch it into the river.
In times past there may have been some ex-
case for the then nuisanees tolerated, but every
consideration of decency, justice and right
demands thst the carryings-on nightly wit
messed and heard from our principal thorough
fares, be dried up. We have nothing to say
against dcce nifty conducted beer-garden, but
this nightly gathering of the inmates of dis
reputablc houses, in public place. to carouse
and scream and dance, should be stopped-if
not by the authorities, by the people. \ beer
garden can be conducted quietly and in order,
but these unesrthly yigils that distract the sick
and rouse people from their beds in the dead
hour of the night, should be unceremoniously
quieted. Ii our city authorities can't under
stand this, we will come dowh with unpleas-
ant facts.
Since peaning the above, we hear that the
Mayor claims that the orders of the council
are insufficient, and that the Police Judge
claims that the ordinances do not cover such
case. ont, upon such fiimsy excuses. What
do these officials mean? Was not party at
the Occidental building arrested and fined un-
der these same ordinances, by this same judge?
Have these officials the efTrortery TO tell us
that they are unable to protect lis from CON-
mon nuisances? Bah! il is disgusting. DO
your duty, or by resgnlng, acknowledge your
for we tell you in the plancst
English, that this community will not much
longer brook this nonsense from its servants,
but will demonstrate that there is moral sense
md decency enough left to protect the chill
iren and wives, the sons and daughters,
against the brazen insolence OF law detiers and
their abettors

We were present at the residence OF III. ii
Wilcox, to-day and heard Miss Emma King
of Wichita, sing. We don't think we can be
deceived-we have no weakness that would
be apt to lead us astray on account of the
youny lady's beauty. We have heard most oi
the great singers oil the age, and we honestly
believe that Miss King is but another of them
when she has had her training. Her voice
has sweeping, easy power seldom possessed
by a novice. 1t is not the high soprano, but
rather the powerful soprano. How is it that
this prodigy of melody has made no noise in
tho world? Why cannot some of the musical
people Of Topeka, who have their Minnie
Reade in the front rank of the musical world +,
invite this new GODDESS into their haunts and
their concerts? She seems to be an obscure
Wichita girl, who scarcely knows what she is
capable Of We hope to hear her sing in q
hall where her voice Will have roo m, when We
feel sure that our judgment of her powers will
be more than endorsed.-Tepska Blade.

During the storm that crossed tins valley
from west to east last Friday the house of our
friend, S. C. Summers, six miles northeast of

gable end of the house WAS torn out the roof

ton demolished. The end of the lower story
was not damaged, and his little children that
lay near the wall were uninjursd, although
awakened by the shock. After the fluid struck

w. l.. Houston, who lives in Park township
and who trapped for furs and hunted buffalo
all over this country before a white settler
struck it, says there is strip of country, forty
or fifty miles wide, running directly west of
Wichita and TO the foot of the mountains, and
lying south of the Arkansas river and the
Sand Hills, which in every respect equals the
best upland prairies Of the central portion of
the State. The country spoken of is drained
by the tributaries principally of the Good and
Cimmaron rivers, and for grazing purposes is
not excelled by any section in tho western

1t is estimated that not less than thirty tons
of wild plums have been marketed in this city
this season. This fruit is made up, princi-
pally, into jelly, which rivals, in color and
taste, that of currants. We noticed one
wagon load OF plums from Sand creek, eighty
miles west, that were as large as the average
Seeding peach. As the Jelly Of commerce is
worth about sixty cents pint, and as it takes
but an equal measurment OF sugar TO make il
there would be money iii taking out v,ssels
and two or three barrels OF sugar and manu-
featuring the jelly upon the ground where the
pums are picked.
