than those that blow from on the heated
tin roofs, brick walls and hot sidewalks Of
the city. In winter the current Of air is re-
versed. By fair dealing and honest repre-
sentation MIR. Lee hopes to win still greater
success in the future and at the same time
help to keep the business of city and valley
up 10 the front.
TO MIR. 4. a. Dorsey, assistant county
clerk, and for many years the county clerk.
and who has since his first election by
the people never failed, OF the same cOurte-
sy each year, are we indebted for the very
comprehensive table given elsewhere and
which was taken from the sworn returns
and records TO the county. The table is a
valuable one giving by townships, every
important statistical fact and the graud
totals for the whole county. 1t shows in a
light stronger and more conyincincing than
could any words. The progress and the
greatness of Sedgwick county in popula-
ton, agriculture, stock and aggregated
wealth.
The district court was occupied yester-
w. A. Martin, in which Craig brings suit
to recoy or money on promisory notes. Lee
Hayes was one of the witnesses, and we
understand some of the notes were endorsed
at his place of business. In giving his tes-
timony Hayes said he could not remember
all the circumstances, but he did remember
that he had fine gold pen on his desk, and
that since the parties TO the notes had lef'
his place OF business, he had not seen the
pen. The attorney asked Hayes If he
wished to insinuate that those gentlemen
had stolen his pen. The witness said be
wished 10 insinuatc nothing, but that the
pen had mysteriously disappeared all the
same. The court and jury were convulsed
with laughter and Hayes was excused.
Among the successful business firms Of
this city, but few have attained more than
our fellow citizen Mr.. n. Z. Niederlander.
Coming to this city seven years ago with
little OF this worlds goods, but blessed
with energy, health and a genial nature, he
embarked in the real estate, loan and insur.
ance business. Those were not the years
of progress in our city's history, hut moth
Ing daunted by adverse surroundings he
applied his best resources TO the building
up of business which is now yielding the
harvest. Heno ranks as one of the most
extensive operators In this line of business
in southern Kansas, having every facility
at hand and giving constant employment to
eight assistants. He represents
eleven reliable insurance companies,
erous corporations and individuals in east
ern cities, and has the unprecedented
record of never having had foreclosure
suit in our courts on any loan he has
made, which certainly evidences safe dealing
and good judgment. In the real estate de-
partment he is ever on the alert with u full
list of the best bargains in all classes OF
property. From this branch has grown an
extensive correspondence, and liberal
distribution OF advertising matter in every
state In the union. Early in his business
career he learned the use of judicious adj
vertising, and though his annual outlay for
this purpose runs into thousands OF dollars,
be finds il well invested. His connection
with the various railroad enterprises OF our
state, and his identification with our banks
as an officer and stakeholder, are eviden-
ces of the confidence reposed by Our capi-
talists and managers of important trusts.
His life is without ostentation, and his
methods safe and conservative, hence his
nosition in the front rank OF the wealthy
men OF our city.
