OVER In The FIFTH WARD

a visit to the Fifth ward yesterday, con-
WINGED the reporter that that wide-awake
ward was booming and not to be very much
out-done by some other wards in the city.
In the first place couple OF sale stables are
reported to be trying TO concentrate horse
market there. Il. NJ. Gardner is grading
and fencing a large stable 10: at the end of
the bridge He has rented his stable out
and is now engaged in the grocery business.
A lot of railroad campers are awaiting the
opening up of the new road. J. L. Moore,
& Son have about fifty head of fine 3-year-
old beef steers and were just buying fifty
more yesterday. when the reporter happened
in on them.
West Wichita still receives emigration
and welcomes them with cordially that il
commendable. The emigration, however,
came in the good old way, boy, for Mr.. J..
Emory, and girl for Mr.. Thomas Garvey,
are the little emigrants that delight the
papas and mamas of that ward.
Jones & Francis commenced building
yesterday, their nice dwelling; also Mrs.
Ritter's house is just under way.

WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK.

Since NJ. Gould endorsed Wichita as the
coming city of Kansas. there is great deal
of talk among the people as to how we
should go to work to build up manufactures
alongside Of our growing railroad interests.
A reporter came onto several knots of men
talking on that subject yesterday, and
thinking some of their views might be of
general interest, here they are. mixed up
with ,me ideas stored up in the Uranium of
the scribe-and pharisee-from away back.
1mpelled and stimulated by the energy
and enterprise of her citizens and newspa-
pers. this has already become an acknowl-
edged city, and is rapidly becoming the
great trade centre of the vast and fertile re-
gion lying west and north and south OF
US, but it is apparent to
every observing man that We
have arrived at turning point in our his
tory; that a new era is just beginning to
dawn, and that if it is to be brilliant and
prosperous era. renewed energy and I'M
firing effort on the part of her citizens Is
necessary. No city ever obtained any man
utacturing supremacy without a liberal
spirit being shown by her citizens. In a
word, manufactures must be encouraged,
and a narrow-minded, penny-wise and
pound foolish policy never made a city
Several small manufacturing concerns who
wanted to come here, it is claimed, were
1 a ~ # shaf- sv,ah ~
get sites without paying too much Among
the groops talking yesterday, one said such
men ought to be given sites BY the
city. Another gentleman in the group
with level head, said the trouble
with all the concerns that had offered them
selves so far, is that they wanted the city &c
set them up in business.
| Wien the right men come with character
and capital seeking a location here, there il
no doubt but that they will be met on th'
threshold by our board of trade and liberal
iy dealt with, and not only that but We viii
stay right by them. Another one of thos'
who were found talking on that subject yes
terday, said that a gentleman of Canton,
Ohio. interested in mslleable iron works
| wants to come here bad but wants substan'
tial aid, not as gift but in business way.
| That Fort Scott had offered him a kpnus
but he prefers this city. Malleabie
iron works is perhaps the most Il
be desirad OF any branch of mlnufacture at
present; the demand for such material il
buildings and bridges is becoming very
great. Those who advance the argument
that manufactures will be compelled to seel:
us on account of our favorable location
without any effort on our part, are now gen
orally called old cranks, and the progressive
elem Mt are for liberal eo-ahead policy
In booming new country like this Their
are too many ambitious young towns read,
to offer bonuses to such concerns for then
to come to place, no matter how good III
location, without some Involvement.

Mr.. J. W. Neal, who lives abont four

OVER THE CITY.

Mr.. Harry Hill, the great horse ana mule
dealer of the west, will please accept the
thanks of m EAGLE local for ride over the
city to see how things were moving. The
north part of town is just going booming
along at surprising rate. Buildings,
buildings everywhere and stretches of new
sidewalk The new school house on North
Main is covered in and it shows up magnif-
Gently; SO does the one in Zimmerley's addi-
ton, which, by the way, is about in the
same stage of completion. These two struc-
lures take the confectionery away from all
the school buildings in the city in exterior
appearance. They are beauties. The street
railway track is being rapidly laid up to
Carey's Park.
The building boom has taken fresh star.
and work for our mechanics, if the weather
continues fine, will extend far into the win
ter, and with the impetus which the begin
ming of new railroad will give If, if this is
an open winter. there will be no lack OF
work this year.
The street force are at work grading on
South Main street, and many new roofs are
looming up in the south part Of town,
though in the matter of building, it is not
keeping pace with the north end.
