TINE MILLING CENTRE.

Topeka is rapidly becoming the most i'm
portant milling centre in the State.-Com.
nonweakA.
Atchison is, and will continue to be, the
great milling centre Of the State. We now
have four immense Touring mills that are
running day and night, and will soon have
fifth in operation. More flour is manu-.
featured in twenty.four hours, than 10 any
other town in Kansas in a week.-Atchison
| Champion.
All Of which simply shows that the two
editors Of the above papers ought to travel
more or read their exchanges. Wichita is,
and will continue to be, the great milling
centre of the State. We have five immense
Touring mills running day and night, to
which fact we called the attention Of the
Champion once before this. The first mill
built here alone turns out 80 barrels every
twenty-four hours, or about 100 barrels
more than the biggest mill in Atchison.
Sad is the rite OF burying stranger, but
sadder when that strangers grave hides for
ever from sight the face OF the only friend
and protector of two little lonely orphan
girls who shrink within themselves as the
sound of the heavily falling clods strikes
terror and dismay to their souls. A num-
Der Of the members of the Grand Army of
the Republic, headed by Col. Stewart, wit
messed such a scene last Saturday afternoon.
The father, Thomas NJ. Royal, an ex-soldier.
the mother of whose little children was
Ian har iat Dor
Mrs. Lowry, in the absence of any other
minister, offered prayer and spoke few be-
fitting words. Deceased was member of
Leon Post, but he was buried by Garfield
Post, of this city. The utter desOlation and
grief of the orpaned girls, one ten and the
other twelve years, touched every heart. 1t
was picture OF sombre colors only, but one
whose shadows will never fade from the
memories of the little group that beheld it
in the lustreless light of that departing
day.
The art loan exhibition heretofore spoken
of in these columns, will begin next Tues
day, August 2lst, and continue until Satur-
day evening following. 1t was at first the
intention to hold il in the new Christian
Church, but owing to the fact that the plas-
terers did not get through in time, Mr..
Woodman's building known as the Tarred
Storc) on Main street, has been secured.
1t is admirably suited to the purpose, more
central and convenient. The ladies having
it in charge have spared no labor to make it
a success and an honor to Wichita, and
they should be rewarded by liberal pat
ronage. The exhibition will be open from
a. IN. and through the entire day and even
ing. Astherc will be more than 800 pictures
alone on exhibition, in addition to a rare
collection of art needlewOrk, bric-a-brac,
relics and curiosties from every quarter of
fine geological collection, collections Of rare
coins, etc., it will readily be seen that one
could dot see the half in one evening.
There will be refreshments, the best ice
cream and cake the city can afford, at all
hours during the exhibition.
Ten cents will be the price of admission.
Mr.. j. L. Caldwell was down from Empos
ria last week TO see his family. His trade Is
increasing rapidly and substantially, and in
few days he is going down to New York
City to buy of the importers direct the
largest stock Of queenswarc and glassware
ever brought to this State. Emporia may
congratulate herself on securing man of
such enterprise and substance asJ. +. Cald-
well. Before Christmas Emporia will have
the finest queensware and glassware estab-
lishment to be found in the State. The
family will shortly remove to Emporia and
Mrs. c. will accompany her husband East.
Mr.. BissantZ has established an enterprise
that has long been needed In this city and
one which will probably be sustained from
the word go, and that is the manufacture Of
galvanized cornice. We suggest the pro-
prietors of the New York block interview
him immediately. The machinery and tools
have already been received and workman
engaged. The first job will be the cornice
and caps Of the new Citizens Bank build
ing. However plain or however elaborate
the design of cornice, Mr.. Bissantz is ready
to do the work.
