WINNING WICHITA.
The Big Burg's Building Boom.

W. F. Green, the city assessor of Wichita,
completed yesterday the list of new build
7 ings, including residences and business
houses-no others-erected in the city of
Wichita between May Is, 1884 and May Is,
1885, and the result is eight hundred and
seventy-nine new buildings for the year.
He made up his list street by street and his
returns are correct beyond any question and
to which he is ready TO be qualified. This
shows a greater increase than the year pre-
vious, which was returned at five hundred
and twenty-one. The work of taking the
census is progressing as rapidly as possible,
but as he is making up his record TO show
the street and number Of every name taken
the Job is no small one. In 1888 the returns
of population, made by him, for the city,
including the west side, which is now incor-
porated, showed population s,Oo5. For
1884 the returns showed population of r.
199 Mr. Green estimates that there has
been added probably 1900 to our popula-
ton within the year. Taking the $40 new
houses, threc-fourths of which represent
residences, and allowing three or four occu-
pants for each house his figures are easily
reached Upon this basis we predict that
the returns will show Wichita with a pop
ulation of fifteen thousand. But whatever
the returns, all can rest assured that they
will be not only absolutely correct but IN
such shape as to be easily verified BY the
officers, which was not the case last year.

THE GAS WORKS.

Tie EAGLE said yesterday that the Wich-
lila Gas Works had been pronounced by Mr.
Rice TO be the most complete and substan-
tial Of any like works in the state. The art
icle brought out the information that new
machinery for washing and deodOrizing
purposes lately patented and costing $1,000
was ordered this week for our works. Judge
Hill, who was over from TT. Scott, says that
while up TO the present time the works and
improvements have been continued bill of
expense, and he is determined TO give
Wichita people such fine and effective SER
vice as viii command not only our good
viii but united patronage. Speaking Of ex-
penses,the original ordinance compelled him
10 Law down over 5000 worth of mains for
which there has been no use or demand nor
probably viii not be soon. We think under
the circumstances that our city administra-
ton should patronize the works in prefer
ence 10 any other scheme. We don't know
what the cost of those side-street blinkers
may be, but that their cost should be
turned into the support of the gas works
and decent lights We have not the least
doubt. Deserving and worthy enterprises
should never be lost sight of for new VEN
lures. nor should old and substantial enter
prises ever be sacrificed in the interest of
untried schemes. That is not only true of
gas works but Of every other business.
Judge Hill started out 10 give Us the most
complete gas works, the very best system, TO
be found in the state, and believing he has
we should give him all reasonable encour-
agcment.

THE DIAMOND MILLS.
Remodeled and Running in Full
Blast.

Wichita can now boast of another first
class, roller patent Touring mill with an
average daily capacity OF 125 barrels.
During the past three or four months the
Diamond mills located on the east side of
the Santa Fe track, north of the depot, has
been undergoing a thorough remodeling
from bottom TO top; under the supervision OF
our skil!ful local millright, Fred Ladd.
Day before yesterday every thing being in
readiness, steam was got up to test the
machinery, which run like a charm, and
Yesterday the mills started in full blast All
the machinery save the engine is new, and
of the most improved modern make. The
shafts, pullies, belts and running gear on the
ground floor are all new. On the second
floor is a beautiful new burr and
three fine sectional roller mills of the
Rounds patent, with Stephens corrugation.
One with two brakes 6x12, another 9x24 and
and a third 9x30 inches. On this floor also
is new Eureka Packer" and an Allison
roller 9xl8. On the third floor are mag
nifcent scales. the hoppers, reels, etc. The
fourth floor is perfect labyrinth of new i'm
proved machinery, among which We noticed
splendid, large, double purifier Of the
Geo. c. Smith last patent One single pur-
ifier of the same make and two fine -four
drcssers, also of the Smith patent. An i'm
proved prints patent" dust collector and
splendid Bernard IL Lee wheat separator.
1t would occupy too much time and space
to give in detail the whole of the fine collec-
of machinery in this mill, suffice, therefore,
that it will compare favorably with the best
mill machinery in the country, and the -four
we saw, and the bread we ate. made
from that -four taken hot and
fresh from the rollers, demonstrate
beyond a question that the whole Of that In
tricate machinery is well adapted to produce
an article Of -four that we are sure viii gain
an enviable celebrity.
Mr. John Tucker is the sole proprietor
Mr. Tucker informs us thai the pres
ent improvcment-mac and remodel
ing cost $4,000.
They are manufacturing three brands OF
iour-the "Royal GEN." which is the fine
patent -four, is unexcelled by any brand in
the west, and when it becomes thoroughly
known, We believe, the demand will tax the
productive power of the mill. The
Golden Belt, is an extra fancy -four,
of fine quality, and last. Good Luck is
is a splendid brand Of family -four.
Alongside the mill is a large cooper shop
where they make their own barrels; also a
fine large store-room. The entire mill and
surroundings are in good order, and Mr..
Tucker has every facility for supplying the
demand that is snre to follow thorough
test of his splendid brands Of -four. We
saw and ate some bread made by Mrs. Chas.
Lulling from the Royal GEN." and that
bread was reilly gem. Mr.. Tucker is to
be congratulated, and We predict a grand
success for the new mill.

A LOVE SCENE

They sat upon knoll by the rivers
brink, and as they gazcd upon the trees on
the opposite shore, she raised her eyes To
his, while an angelic expression stole over
her pretty face. she said in dulcet tones,
Don't the pretty little birds have a splcn-
did time
They DO that, they have political sine
cures. without voting or having congress
men to recommend them, and no matter
how offensive their partisan proclivities,
they are not bounced. They have no war
records to be sprung on them just in the
wrong time, and they can't write letters
that viii give them away twenty years after.
They have no cranky notions on the tariff
or prohibition. and mugwumpism don't
bust up their calculat ons.''
"Yes, dear, the birds have a splendid
time"
Their whole life seems TO be one perpet-
val stream of love, she replied,
Yes, hut You mustn't bet too much on that
by :he way they act in public
Il have seen human beings whose lives
seemed 20 De all love, but when there WAS
nobody around. their dcmicile was trans
formed into something like Democratic
caucus, with oceans of whisky and year
ling torpedo thrown into the free fight,
The birds, however, have the advantage OF
Us poor fellows in making love.
How Is that
We'll they don't have TO 20 down town
and write poe.ry. or carry in coal. or pcddlc
bananas. to raise a few dimes TO buy ice
cream or 10 90 TO the skating rink, snd
when they get dead gone on their girl they
don't have to mcandcr up to her old man
and tell him lot Of lies in order TO get hi:
consent"
n bird in love has soft thing Of it
suppose you and were birds now, dear
George. wouldn't we have good time
We'll. don't know about that, You see
We would have TO dodge the hawks and bows
with nigger-kiIler,, and We could get no ice
cream nor suck lemonade through >traws,
and WEI have dull time OF it.
NO. don't want any bird in mine.
Il have often wondered what becomes OF
the birds when they die she said, 1--WE
never find them living around like other
things that die. Perhaps their comrades
bear them away into the leafty bowers, and
tha, if we could only see them what beau
tiful poem could be written about il
That's 50. it would make real nice
spring poem. but you are on the wrong
scent a. to the end ofthe bird. They have
no such luck. They are skinned, their hides
stuffed with sawdus; and their dainty flesh
worked into minoe pies, or made to play the
roll of quail on toast
