Here is smother specimen of the way
Wichita real estate rolls up in price: Two
years ago the owner ofthe two lots on the
corner opposite the Occidental placed them
in Ii. G. Lees hands for sale at $1,000.
Mr.. Lee had repeatedly solicited A. J. Davis
who had then bought an interest in the
Occidental, to buy these lots at S1,lO0, but
Davis says he sat there all winter and would
not buy. Lee bought the property himself
for 81 900 and last fall sold one of the lots
tor $500 and the other for $500. or &c.
800 for both. a gain of $500 in two years.
Yesterday Mr.. Davis bought the corner lot,
one of the two mentioned. from Ches Fire
bsugh for 5000. and, of course, he felt like
taking himself out in the back yard and
kicking himself for not buying those lots in
the first place, but probably hundred such
chances have been thrown away.

Of the bladder, often accompanied by slight

appear, or the color will be of thin, or milk

this difficulty, ignorant of the cause, which is

CINCINNATI, June 2S.-There is at pres
ent in this city child whose physiological
condition must be marvel to the medical
profession. 1t is boy aged 10 years,
WHO has never walked or crept,
and to whom nature has denied
certain processes attendant on digestion, OF
rather not denied them altogether, but per-
pitted them only at intervals Of four, six,
twelve, and in one instance Of fourteen
months. The boy eats regularly and at
times with great heartiness, but the food is
retained for a short time only, during which
it's vital principles are absorbed or assim-
Hated in some way. Since birth he has
been carried about in chair and
it is a peculiar fact that the bones of his
legs and arms are flexible, being very much
in the nature of cartilage. Growth has
stopped and he is not larger than child of
two years. He is in the custody of his
grandmother and colored nurse, the latter
having been with him from birth.

Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, June 2S.-A new in
dustry has been started at the Rock Island
armory and arsenal. 1t is the manufacture
of man targets for use in the regular army.
These targets are made of steel, and as
near the form of an average-Sized man
as can be outlined with steel. They
are made ID three positions, upright at a
front. then in position of firing with arms
raised as if holding musket. Col. Flagler
himself invented the machine that makes
the steel of the proper shape. The steel
frame is covered with cloth in such a man
ner that at distance the resemblance of a
man is marked, and what is important it
can be told just in what part the
man Is hit-arm, leg, breast, stomach,
neck, shoulder or head. Four hundred of
these steel targets are being made, requir
ing the use of 1850 pounds of steel.
In the target practice they will be placed
in squads, in platoons, in companies, and the
various other forms in which soldiers move
in the opening of All engagement. The
practice will commence at range of $50 to
800 yards and then be gradually increased
to long distances. The targets will be sent
TIC military posts at which such practice
can be best carried on.
