How to Fish for Sharks.

NHUIUUkeI I1tVItT IIIHtbs
One feels grand after he has pulled up Nan
tucket shark weighing 300 or 400 pounds. If
you are subject to sea sickness it is useless to
attempt sharking, which Is a severe test of the
strength of mans stomach. 1t is always rough
on the sharking grounds, and as the boat is an
ehored, the force of the swell is visibly
felt The monster hook is baited with blue fish,
and sunk to within three OF four feet of the bot
tom of the ocean. When the shark takes the
bait it is policy to let him have it little while
before pulling in. AS the line is drawn in the
strain on the arms comes more severe the nearer
the shark gets to the surface. Oftentimes the
united efforts Of three men are required to pull
mp one of these monsters. When the shark
finds his head above water he is frantic in his
efforts to get away. He slashes his tail in his
fury, almost swapping the boat and stirring
the salt water iato seething foam. A few
well directed blows from a club, and the shark
gives up the ghost

NcFARLANp'S FOUNDRY.

Among the many industries OF this city,
perhaps none have grown and prospered
more than the foundry OF Mr.. r. McFar-
land. This Institution was established in
the year 1877 on very small scale, in lit
tie building on the bank OF the Big river at
the west end OF Douglas avenue. At that
time they had very limited facilities for
doing work. Their machinery was oper-
ated by horsepower. and two hogsheads
were used to melt iron In, and their tan
was one made by themselves. Their
first cast consisted Of about 1890 pounds
the bulk OF which was moulded into window
weights for Col. Taylor's house. From the
very start their efforts met with success,
and their business has rapidly increased.
In 1880 they were obliged to seek better and
more commcdious quarters and removed to
their present place OF business on the east
side OF Wichita street between Douglas
avenue and First street. where they have
ample room for carrying on their large bus
mess. The buildings, which are all Joined
together. include ware room, moulding
room, machine aud repair shops and
engine room. Their machinery is now all
operated by steam power, and they keep
constantly employed six skilled wOrkmen,
manufacturing large and varied line OF
iron goods, such as house cIesting, fine
fencing, repairs OF every description for
reapers, mowers and other machines, as
well as stove repairs OF all kinds They
also do all the casting for the famous Nor
ris Bros, fence machines. The class Of
their work cannot be excelled in the west,
and their ability to do a fine job Of re-
pairing on engines and boilers 10 undisputed.
Seven years ago MIR. Mcfarland opened
his foundry with almost nothing. and had
no custom. To-day he is prepared to do
anything in his line, and will guarantee
satisfaction, and has patronage extending
throughout the entire southwest. lie is
now engaged In moulding a lot Of fancy
fence material for parties OF this city, and
II il but just to say that his castings are
excellent samples of workmanship, and
would be a credit 10 any foundry in the
country. Mr.. Mcfarland is fully deserving
the success that has attended him while in
this city.

FENCE MACHINES.

Yesterday afternoon we were shown
through the manu- featuring establishment
OF Morris Bros. 4 Parks, located on Wichi.
Ia street between Douglas avenue and First
street, where is made the noted Morri,
Bros.' fence mschine. These machines are
becoming very popular, and the demand
for them 10 steadily on the increase. They
were not patented until some time last Feb.
ruary, and we believe the first machine
was completed in May. Since then
twenty -four machines and county right,
have been sold, and there are about dozer
finished machines In the shops. Some OF
them have been sent 10 Texas, Idaho, New
Jersey. and TO. day one will be shipped to
ST. Louis. A single machine with the ex.
elusive county right TO manufacture the
wire and lath fence is sold at 300. and each
additional machine at tl20. The Original
pxtentees Of these machines were the Nor.
ris Bros, but they disposed OF half inter.

a GOOD Joke.

A goo joke was played on Mr.. S. d.
Jackson, OF the firm Of Hovey & jackson.
yesterday He had started for the depot
quite early in the morning, expecting TO
take the 0 n. m. train for Cheney. On
reaching the fremont hotel he happened
to look in the direction Of the depot
and saw what he supposed was the
smokestack Of the engine appear
near the depot. and move down the
track. Thinking that possibly the train
was leaving ahead Of time, he asked one Of
the men sitting about the hotel, whats
that!' pointing towards the depot. The
man instantly replied. 80, that's the Che
ney train Mr.. Jackson waited for no
more but started off on = dead run. When
he reached the depot, all out Of breath, and
found that it was traction engine, he bit
his lips In seventeen different languages.
and vo wed that the man who had told him
such a lie should be pensioned for life.
