the manager of the Northern Pacific rail.
road. until further orders, we take it that
he is going about as far northwest as he can
get, maybe to Puget Sound. He has kept
faithfully to that cash-counter a long
time without single day of rest, and we
hope he will enjoy his summer jaunt
among the north lakes.

came to this state with less than TWENTY-FIVE
dollars. Tie took claim and borrowe d
money to enable him to get out the first
papers, and worked in the harvest field TO
pay back that money. Now he has fine
farm, for which he last week refused $4,000
in cash. He has several thousand bushels
OF old corn on hand, and has just harvested
his oats, which he told the writer would
average fully eighty bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Robert Par ham. who was "A Kapsa
in "a, and afterwards for more than TWEEN
ty years, at one time u leading druggist in
Leavenw2rth. but now connected with The
st. Louis Lead and Oil works, was in the
city yesterday. In talking over old times
and the struggles incident TO the early days.
of which settlers Of the past ten years have
but little conception, Mr. Parham remark
ed that Wichita already in some respects
is the leading business center of the state.
and that as an evidence Of it he had yester-
day morning taken larger orders in Witch
ita for oils and lead than he had ever tsken
in any other city in Kansas. Mr.. Parham
says that in his judgment Wichita will pass
all other towns in the. state except Topeka
and that she will close up on the capital
very rapidly. our only ans wer il Mr. Par
ham is correc, in his estimates. then wich-
ita is bound to be the greatest city in the
state. for we shall overtake and pass Tope-
ka within five years.
