HOTEL AND BUSINESS MOCK.

The location of the new Santa Fe
depot has materially influenced the
growth of the southwestern part of the
city. Many new residences, for conve-
nience TO the station and Tor the accom-
mediation of the employees of the road,
have lately been constructed in that part
OF town Naturally there attends the
DRIFT of population in that direction a
certain amount Of business, necessitat-
ing the erection also of business blocks
In the same quarter OF the city. The
depot has formed the nucleus for this
rapid growth. Soon after its completion
the Palace hotel and the Robinson house
were built adjacent to il. Advantage
was quickly taken of this beginning,
and chief among the improvements that
followed and the completion of which
will mark the early part of the neVLyear,
are the Haussler and Morehouse blocks
on the south west corner Of Neosho and
Third. These blocks were constructed
simultaneously with continuous front,
but as separate buildings. The latter is
g neat two story building with two store
rooms on the first fl Dor and tenement
rooms above
The Htussler block, built by the
Haussler brothers, Is q three story
brick structure, with a good stone
basement. The entire block lis
substantially built The basement
is divided into two rooms. The first
floor is arranged. for store rooms, OF
which there are two, each 25x50 feet.
The one facing south and west is Occu-
pied as a restaurant by A. Hsussler. and
the other is to be used for a grocery
store. The large plate glass in the west
end and part of the south side makes the
front compare iavorably with the best
there is on Commercial street. The
second and third floors are divided into
twen'y-four good rooms TO oe used for
hotel purposes. The Office Is 10 the center
of the second floor and the eutire is as
we'll arranged AS any hotel II
the city with the same mum Der
of rooms The windows of this part ere
all single pane glass. Several applica-
tions have been made by parties desir
ing to le ise the hotter part, but none
have yet bssn accepted. AS soon as the
rooms are ready, which will be as quick
ly as they can now be pushed to com.
pletiep, they will be'placed in the hands
OF some good hotel mao and opened for
business The bull ting is an addition
to the good substantial improvements Oi
tue city. II was erected at an expeDdi-
Iure OF about $1,000, and reflects credit
on the energy and business foresight OF
the Haussler brothers. who are to be
commended for the good they have done

OKLAHOMA.

The following discussion of the Okla
homa question occurred in the house of
representatives at Washington yester-
day;
Ryan earnestly pressed upon the at
tenIiOn OF the committee the importance
of taking immediate action to settle the
disputed question as to whether that
portion of the Indian Territory known
as the Oklahoma strip was open to SET
Element. Men had settled upon that
land claiming that 1t belonged To the
United States, and therefore they had
the right to settle upon 1t. II was
clAimeu by the government that the Sem
inoie and Greek Indians coded land TO
the United Stats In order that the gov
ernmeht might ! Jca friendly Indians
there. Subsequently to Its cesslon the
government changed Its policy and con-
gress passed law prohibiting the settle.

Territory. He u, ither affirmed nor de-

A number OF our people will remem-
Der Mr.. D. W. Chapman, pie asant gen
tleman, of Hartford, Connecticut, who
visited this city last spring as he was on
his way westward. While here he
was the guest of his old friend
Mr.. 5. II. Waite. Shortly after leav-
ing EnporIa 1t was announced that Mr..
Chapman as drowned in Nevada. The
most searching efforts were m lde TO re-
cover the body. A brother VISITED the
scene of the accident, but WAS unable to
find the slightest cleW to the remains.
The friends of the deceased theIeupon
formed the OpI0iOn that he had, in all
probability, been murdered This sus-
piciOn was held the more strong
Iy because Mr.. Chapman was known
to have carried considerable money and
q number Of VaIusbles about his person.

following item from a late issue of the
Hartford COurant, however, set aside the
theory that death was caused by other
than a sad and distressing accident:

AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.

An important business change has
taken place In the old and popular firm
of G. P. Jones & Co., merchant tailors
and dealers in clothing and gents furn-
ishing goods G.. P. and John G. Jones
have tor q number of years carried on
this business very successfully and stand
among our leading business men to-day.
Mr.. Frank Edwards of Chicsgo, a well
known and successful travelling sales
man, who has for years been visiting
Emporla and other Kansas business
men, has purchased large interest. j..
G. Jones retains his interest and q. P.
Jones part of his, and the
style of the firm remains un-
changed The interest taken
by Mr. Edwards is more in the form of
an increase than change IN the bust
ness. G. P Jones will give most of his
attention to his cattle interests, and
Otherwise the business will be conducted
as heretofore. Mr. Edwards large bust
ness experience and wide acquaintance
with western business men make him
just such a mao as our business circles
will welcome, and the fact that with all
his acquaintance he cIO7e to become
associated with g. P. Jones s. Co. in
EmporIa, is significant OF his high es-
timation of that firm, a compliment to
the city and in all indicative of his good
business judgment.
