BUILpIEG BOON.

The building boom has broken out in a
fresh place This time It is booming lively
east Of the Santa Fe track, all the way from
the union depot along Mead, Mosley and
Washington avenues south to Douglas.
There are two small frame houses being
built opposite the union depot, but the re
porter did not learn the names of the own
crs. Mr.. NJ f. Hobson Is building house
from the consolidated Tank Line company's
works, and Mr.. Bolt is building barn just
south of this on Mosley avenue, where he
will also build a good residence. Mr.. w.
b. Throckmorton, who owns two and a half
acres between Washington and Mosiey av-
enues, and extending north TO the right of
way of the Frisco, is building a
very respectable two story frame
house on it, 2Ox30 feet, with
two Us" bay windows and sixty feet of
portico. This when finished will be quite
ornamental.
Mr. Parks, a late arrival from KIngman,
is building nice house facing east on
Mosely avenue two blocks south of the
Tank Line works, and Mr.. a. Y. Teilsey is
building one story frame on the next lot.
Mr. j. a. Miller is building a handsome
two story frame house 20x30, with an IL, y
on the Mead avenue side of his lot just
south of the Tank Line works and east of
the Santa Fe track.
Mr.. W. T. Walker is building n house
lsx32 feet, on Mead avenue back of the
Diamond Mills, but little north of it.
There are more new houses in course of
erection cas-. of the Santa Fe now than at
any time in the history of Wichita, and the
indications are that it will continue well
into the winter if the weather continues fine.

PORK PACKING.


Business IN wichita.
Attention of the EAGLE has been repeat
eddy called to the necessity of establishing in
this city pork packing house and the
opening offered in that direction. So large
an amount of live hogs are shipped from
here to eastern and northern cities that the
wonder is that before this there has been no
effort made to bring the enterprise of pack
ing right here. This want is to be filed in
part this fall, and it is hoped will result in
the establishment of a full industry in that
direction.
4 Chicago packing company have rented
ofthe Citizens Land company the packing
house formerly owned by NJ. Stewart, and
will open it for business in two weeks
They will add TO the building at once and
put it in shaps with capacity to slaughter
100 head daily.
\ country so rich in products
of corn rs southern Kansas can
procure the position of foremost importance
in pork, and that it should be manufactured
into marketable commodity here is self
evident A statement of the number of live
hogs shipped from this city and vicinity
would astonish even the most enthusiastic
boaster on the products Of the Arllansa:
valley When this is turned into pork
right at home and sold in wholesale quaint
ties to the trade, Wichita will have achieved
an important step towards that greatness
| which she is destined to achieve.

WHAT DID HE:MEAN7

A reporter found little girl about eight
or nine years old, hopping around the plat
form at the union depot yesterday evening,
as wild as q March hare. She was a COM
bination of boldness and Stiffness, and was
barefooted, carrying her shoes in her hands,
and occasionally firing them around the
platform, Her hair, which was kinkey, WIS
cut short, and she gave evidence Of bad
bringing up. A baggage check dangled
from a string about her neck, and altogether
she presented strange aspect. Replying
to the reporters questions, she said she was
waiting for the train TO take her TO her faith
er, at Great Bend. She had lived in the
country near Udall, and got ticket to Great
Bend, where she said her father was mar
ried again. She came on the
train this far the eyeing be-
before, but some man who came up on the
train, and who talked with her, took her of
the train at the Douglas avenue depot; took
her to a restaurant and kept her all night,
and said he would take her to Great Bend
with his team. She says he took her out
riding in the country yesterday, and soon
after to the depot, where be left her, saying
he would be back. but she said ''the old
scamp never come"
From the baggageman at the depot, the
reporter learned that she had ticket fro IN
Udal TO Great Bend. and that she was
throwing it about on the platform, so they
took it from her and was keeping it until
train time. The agent at Udal had pinned
a card on her cloak saying she was an or
phsn going to her father.
Who the man was who took her off the
train, what was his motive, or where he
kept the child all night no one seems to
know, and she could not tell.
1t may be possible that she got off the
train herself and made up this story, bu,
it is not probable, because she is by no
means ingenious.
This is fresh mystery, and the wood:
seem to be full Of these mysterious little
girls. 1t is not likely she is in any way
connected with the other little waif, Mary
Gospel, for she is not that sort of stock, and
she SAYS her name is MAGGIE Nav Norman

ELECTRIC LIoHr VS.. GAS LIGHT.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
The Electric Light company proposes to
give the city twenty electric lights for $4,000
per annum. Now, at this cost, the city can
get eighty-three gas light posts Now,
would it no. subserve the interests
of the city more to put in eighty
three gas posts than these twenty electric
lights: The gas company did not ask to be
subsidized by the taxpayers here when they
asked for their franchise, and why should
we now give new enterprise what was re-
fused the gas company. The gas company
really did as much to give this city its boom
of prosperity as any other institution We
have, and We do not believe it just to tax it
TO build up another opposition company;
and SO far as a joint stock company is con-
cerned, We would advise our citizens who
contemplate taking stock in this new enter
prise, 10 ascertain the value Of electric light
stock where these electric light companies
have been in existence two or three years.
Again, il electric light is SO superior and de-
sirable, why is it that these larger cities have
not adopted it instead of gas Light The
electric light companies usually go to small
er towns and cities and form electric light
companies, and the third year the original
electric light company men are gone and
the citizens Of the town are left with the
''bag to hold
An electric light company was formed
at Circleville, Ohio, and the city
was lighted up with electric
light for one year, but the next year they
ordered the electric light company to take
out their light and are now having the city
lit again with gas. At Msssillon, Ohio, the
city ordered all the electric wires taken
down after one years experience with 1t.
The towers at Topeka have been failure.
The electric light at Sedalia, Mo-, after a
trial Of several years has proven poor in
vestment for It's stock holders. If electric
light is superior to gas, why is it that they
are so DESTROYS TO secure one, two, and
three wears contracts with their consumers,
before putting up their SO called cheap
light.
We say TO our merchants beware of COM
petitive companys, who want to "tie you
up on contracts. Fair and open honora-
bic competition should govern all trades
and business.

DETROIT EVENING JOURNAL.

"The Two Johns" presented at Whites
last evening, kept the audience in almost
constant laughter, and the fun grows better
as the play proceeds. The main part of the
business is the adventures of Peter and
Philip John, cousins, big, fat-taced fellows,
one Of whom is continually making love
tout of book to every susceptible female
he meets, continually beating his creditors
and leaving town between two days, and the
other John, who closely resembles him, is
constantly happening around, just in time
to catch the punishment which belongs to
the other fellow. In the second act, these
two, personated by John Stewart and VIM.
Murray, introduce some very comical busi-
ness. IL most pleasant part Of the evening
entertainment is the excellent rendering OF
the quartette, duo and solo singing by the
members of the company.
"The Two Johns" will be here tomorrow
and will give two performances, one in the
afternoon and the other at night. Ticket;
are now on sale at the Santa Fe ticket office
The opera house will be crowded.
1t must not be supposed that this company
is composed of but two individuals, because
it is called the two Johns. There are IL il
the company and their fame lie all over thu
land.

house, prevailed upon the agent of the ''Twt

John suLLARD ON PROHIBITION

John Sullsrd, who was busted up in the
joint business lately by the authorities, is
back from mo Mans Land" or the neutral
strip, where he went TO hunt up a location
where he could pursue the liquor business
in peace. He says that prohibition is fore
ing the liquor dealers beyond civilization
step by step, and that the neutral strip is
too close to Kansas TO be free for any great
length of time. He thinks that probably he
could run saloon in ''No Mans Land
about three years, and by that time it Will
be as bad a Kansas.
