THE SURVEY COMPLETED.
One Hundred and Sixty Miles o
Cornfield From Wichita to
Wa6krinpfon.

Chief Engineer II. L. jackson and his Is
sistant, NJ c. Miller, returned TO Wichits
yesterday morning, having completed tht
preliminary survey 10 the line of the Bur.
lington and Missouri River railroad a,
Washington, the county seat Of Washing.
ton county. The work was concluded las,
Wednesday evening. From conversation
with Mr.. jackson we gather the following
facts of a general and special interest The
entire line is one hundred and sixty miles
long. The heaviest grade found between
Wichita and Abilene was five-tenths grade
or twenty-six feet 10 the mile. The heaviest
grade found between Abilene and Washing
ton was a six-tenths grade or thirty-one and
half feet to the nile, and this for but short
distance. In both ofthese named instances
Mr.. J. says the grade by being made better
and more expensive could be cut down, but
even at that figure it is a very light grade.
From the north line of Marion county the
Kansas valley was reached at Abilene by
the valley Of Turkey creek. and eighteen
miles run, almost an air line, through set
Element Of rich Pennsylvania farmers, with
great barns and magnificent crops. Between
Abilene and Clay Centre the line runs for
another distance of twenty-one miles on
section lines. Between Clay Centre and
Washington fifteen more miles of stretch
was made along section lines. Taken alto
gether, he found it one Of the most feasible
and direct routes from point to point that he
ever surveyed, with no obstacles worth
naming. From Marion Center the line runs
up the Mud Creek valley, well settled and
improved, and from Clay Centre
north the Huntress valley was followed,
another delightful agricultural country.
From Wichita TO Washington Mr.. jackson
says be ran his corps practically through
One hundred and sixty miles of cornields.
Starting with The elevation above sea level
at Wichita, he says that in every valley
where the lowest point was touched be found
the altitude to vary but six TO eight fest
from what il IL here, which was an unex-
pected fact, but showing that the prime
wheat and corn belt of the state holds
throughout the same elevation practically.
In general terms Mr.. jackson and Mr.. Mil
Ter united in the expression that no line of
railroad was ever projected through finer
or more prosperous country, or through one
in which the people all along the line we're
enthusiastically united in favor Of the ester
prise, one rich farmer saying that he would
donate one thousand dollars or give bonds |
10 grade one mile of the road ss soon ~ Il
was needed 50 ~
As for connection With the Burlington
& Quincy system, Mr.. Jackson says II can
be made at Warrington or Il Hanover or q
some other point beyond with equal facility.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 24.-Nothing, for .
long time has created SO much excitement
here as the news of the arrest in Emporia.
Kas., of Mrs. Minnie Wallace Walkup, for
poisoning her husband. The marriage took
place just month to day before his death.
Mr.. Walkup had
BEEN FAMILIAR FIGURE
on the streets of New Orleans; he was .
virginian, an energetic man Of considerable
wealth and ability; he was about AZ years
of age, and widower with two
daughters. The youngest Of his children,
Miss Libbie, is year older than
the wife be recently married. He was six
feet and two inches in height, finely proper
toned and weighing over 200 pounds, with
blue eyes, light brown hair and bright
cheerful face, which Tailed with his DISPOSE
ton. Minnie Wallace Walkup is seventeen
years of age; her father is james E. Wallace.
a LAWYER, and formerly United States COM
missioner. Every one who ever saw her no.
ticed her.
BEAUTIFUL FACE AND FORM,
and her ladylike department. She was
seen frequently on the street and was noted
for her charms of person and tasteful dress.
She was about five feet and seven inches
tall and her eyes were large and beautiful.
Walkup had met Minnie when a child and
watched her bloom into womanhood, then
be claimed her as his bride. At Covington,
KY, the wedding took place July 22d and
was brilliant affair; there were sixty per-
sons present; the Rev. DR.. Laer, Metho-
dist minister, performed the ceremony.
The entire party crossed the river to Gin
cinnati and fine supper was served at the
residence of q relative, Mrs. Moore, on
Plum street. Mrs. Walkup babe them
good bye at Cincinnati and returned to New
Orleans few days later. The bridal couple
SEEMED VERY HAPPY,
and left for Niagara Falls making short
trip, and then going direct to the home of
the groom at Emporia. From her letters
Mrs. Walkup Appeared TO be living happy
life, with her wants all provided for. Her
last letter, received five days ago, said that
Mr.. Waikup was going on q short trip on
business and that she was to go along. Will
lie Willis was eleven months older than
Minnie. He was q son of John d. Willis,
who died in Florida several years ago. His
mother was a niece of Mrs. Walkups moth
er. Mrs. Willis died when her boy was
three years old, and left him to the care OF
Mrs. Wallace, with whom he
HAS LIVED EVER sINcE.
Willie and Minnie were raised together.
| Willie's mother had died Of consumption
and he seemed to have trace of the same.
He was delicate boy and slender build.
He was as much attached to his cousin as il
he had been brother, and also of Mr..
Walkup. for whom he was TO go out west as
his protege, and intended to assist in carry
| ing out successful career. Mrs. Walkup's
friends say the purchase Of arsenic by her
may be accounted for from the fact that
she was addicted to the use Of the drug for
| the sake of her complexion.

GRAPES AND WINE

II have been around in this valley goot
DEAL" the last week." said q gentleman to al
EAGLE reporter at the Manhattan hote! las
Sunday, "and am astonished at its produc
tiveness. was particularly astonished al
the luxuriance of the grape crop wherever
found them. This valley is natural vine
yard and should not be surprised to sex
the time when you viii have immense wine
cellars in Wichita With proper care
and attention 1 have no doubt that the Ar
kansas and Ninneecah vallies will produce
Is fine grapes as are grown in California and
that your city will become famous for its
native wines"
The reporter suggested that our prohibi-
ton laws would hinder such result.
"Yes, just now probably that would be q
serious stumbling block. but If it is found
that grape culture and vintage can be made
profitable, which think Is certain, legisls-
ton viii conform TO the interests Of the
country. The use of light wines is not con-
sidered CONDUCIVE TO drunkenness. In
France wine is used in families a. common as
milk with US and drunkenness cuts no fig
ure in that country, neither in Italy nor
Spain, nor any country where wine becomes
common. Mark my words; wine will
become an important factor in the pro-
duction of this valley.
