Wichita to Control the Great Pork Pro-
duct of Southern Kansas.

A reporter of the EAGLE visited the
pork packing establishment of A. Acker-
man & Co. on west Douglas avenue, and,
through Superintendent John Mcintyre,
gained the following information in reference
to the important enterprise that commenced
Yesterday at their works: On being shown
through the house the FIRST view presented
to the reporter was four lines of porkers,
freshly dressed and shambled, the last one
of which was just being finished. numbering
eighty head, averaging 800 pounds to the
head. A large kettle set over furnace in
an adjoining department trying out the fat
just stripped from the killing of the day.
On an inquiry as to the capacity of the
establishment the superintendent stated that
it would answer two hundred daily, the
amount they intended to slaughter after a
few DAYS; that they hoped to enlarge TO six
hundred daily as soon as practicable.
The superintendent stated that the hogs
killed one afternoon would be cut up and
disposed of TO make room fo- the killing Of
the next afternoon, and that the work would
60 on without intermission through the en-
tire season
The preparation for market will be con-
Quoted in large apartments in front and
rear of the dressing rooms, and in which the
different kinds of meats will be selected and
separated.
|
First the choice hams of certain size vii
be selected for preparation for what is now
becoming known as choice California picnic
hams. A process Of curing that
is entirely new and is fast gaining
favor among dealers; another ham will be
selected as the regular family ham for gen
eral use Then quality of meat lately in
troduced and handled by butchers fresf
is the loin best pork steak, which is Away
sold as first-class. Breakfast bacon, shor
rib, shor. and clears; back pork, prepared a
sweet pickle, shoulders dry, and boiled fol
sweet pickle, and certain part for sausage
with pigs feet and hogs heads make TIL
latest of the marketable meat.
The superintendent stated that none pu
choice hogs will be handled and the meat
all prepared in the choicest and most ap
proved marketable manner.
The yards adjoin the establishment AM
are constantly being filed with new arrival
of material, and not less than one Thousand
dollars, nor more than three thousand vii
be paid out daily for hogs. Mr.. Ackermn'
superintends the buying personally.
The enterprise, started SO favorsbly, fills
long-felt want and will lead to killing
larger portion of the hogs raised in this sec
ton and supplying the country with its owl
meat. 1t will also lead to the ship
ment to eastern and southern mark
cts large quantities of marketable pork.

This COMING EMPIRE. /"

Everybody vino makes visit to South
western Kansas inv vests in land there. Not
withstandiEg an occasional fear Of the fut-
rre the general feeling is one Of confidence
concerning the rapid development of the
whole western part of the state. The foun.
dstions Of greatness seem hardly to havs
been laid in Kansas. With q continuance
Of the progress which the past year has
witnessed another decade will find the state
rch and productive in every corner. L
Kansas City preparing lines of trade to con
meet her with this coming empire of con
sumerss-K. c. Times.
We are inclined to the affirmative. Thl
Paola link would inevitably rake in th,
whole of ''this coming empire of consum
ers." Undoubtedly. Again would we urg
the wind-wonder to redoubled efforts ia th,
direction of the Paola link. The North
western kansas and Dakota road csn be pu
in at any time, but every days delay en- th
Psola link delays Wichita just that much il
the desired additional connection with tn
Kansas City pool.

THE ooyERNMEnr BUILDING.

myth and Miracle" is the subject OF BOD
Insersoll's new lecture. Myths we have Al
WAYS with US, but 1t viii be q miracle 1t the
new postofRce building can be located to
suit any considerable numbar OF the people
of this city. There is more wire pulling
and scheming in connection with this than
has been manifested in any political contest
and the end is not yet. The second propo-
sitiou for bids has had the effect OF develop
ing several combinations, and now the only
satisfactory solution of the vexec question
seems TO be the location of postofice on
or near every body's property. This plan
could not fail to harmonic all interests,
both as regards desirable Sites" and Dem
ocrstic aspirsnts for postofiices, inasmuch
as it would open up field for every Demo-
crst in town. The excitement was
at fever heat yesterday and petit
tons for donations in favor oil
the several locations were flying in all d.
rections, while knots of men could be found
almost anywhere discussing the situation
The main fight seems t. be between Main
street and Douglas avenue business interests
and stubborn fight is being carried on.
The Main street crowd seems to have con
cen,rated on the rink, and the Douglas ave
nue. folks with south Main or Market street
One gentleman who had subscribed 500
for the riuk location was asked for sou
more yesterday, but lie thinks it would b
more profitable to wait until the thing j
settled and then buy property near tn
favored locality.
A reporter listened to crowd discussing
the thing in the postoffice yesterday morn
ing, among whom were some who deplore'
state of things that made it possibl
for any combination to bride the govern
ment, ms it were, to locate the building othe
than with reference TO the convenience @
the greatest number Of the people. On
gentleman said the beggarly sum donated b.
the government for public building 70
such city as Wichita, didn't amount
anything, no way, and that nearly one-ha
of it would be used up before the thing Wa
begun. He thought better plan would b
for the city to build 100000 building an
given it to the government. An opera hou:
to cost $4,000 would probably soon /
built.
This question absorbed all other interes
> the whole day, and great are the combin'
!; tons. rs
: Later in the day some one spread
! rumor to the effect that dispatch had bee
! received from Washington to the effect TIL
d the rink location had been settled upon, b,
+ that is all hoax and probably manufa
tured for the purpose of putting stop
: the negotiations OF the Douglas aven'
crowd, or maybe to deceive the Main sire
people.

WICHITA AZ A WHOLESALE POINT

The advantages of this city as a whole
sale point is becoming widely known, and
there is scarcely day that there is moi
some party here looking for location.
High rents seem to drive off good many
but the matter of 500 or $500 more or less
yea is nothing If the location is good.
Parties contemplating entering into
wholesaling should not look so much to tb,
size of the city as TO the extent of territory
tributary to 1t.
1t must he borne in mind that this j!
only an infant city and has merely mad,
start ia wholesaling. but any one ia
niilisr with the state can readily see the
great advantages she possesses as a whole
sale point, and the greater the number o
houses in each line, within certain limits
the larger will be the trade for each. Wher,
there are but one or two houses in eaci
line they are regarded as having monopo
ly. and country merchants prefer TO e
where there ID, more competition; therefore
Eve or six good houses in each line woulc
do better trade in this city than two o.
three, o. we have now.
