siding in Wichita. lie is expected to return

Shade trees should be put out on each side
of First street. from the river to the Chisholm

Shade trees throughout the city are loook-
ing splendid. The newly set trees of this sea-
son are nearly in full leaf. In very lew
years the resident streets of Wichita will pre-
sent long avenues of trees and shade.
1t is a fact that fractional currency is be.
oming so scarce that the merchants of Witch.
ita find trouble TO make change. The First
National Bank has for a week been paying
out the new silver coin, but the distress does
not seem TO be relieved.
The City Council held avery lengthy session
Monday night. passing several ordina noes.
One with reference to the suppression of
houses of ''piain sewing,' and another pro-

most imp ortant.

of the Dutch, or white clover we know but
little, although in some lawns it promises
