AN ARCHITECT WHO is AN EARLY
RISER.

A stone foundation was laid recently FOR
one Of the fine edfices that are so rapidly
springing up in our city which was not at
all suited to the scientific design Of one OF
our prominent draughtsmen-it was several
inches off its base. The owner was there,
the designer was there and so was the con-
tractor. No amount of squirting with one
eye shut could change the glaring defect
and 6 o'clock came while its Objectionable
features were being discussed. The con-
tractor assured them that it should be recti-
fed and put in apple pie order and that the
true line should be so perfect that the cor
pulent fly of July on any part of its walls
would be remarked. This was quite salts
factory and they adjourned to their respec-
tive homes.
Yesterday morning if an early bird had
been out in quest of that oft sought for early
worm he might have been a little surprised
to have seen the APPARENTLY suspicious moves
of staid and sober architect and designer
aboI It the byways of our streets, he (this
early bird) would have stopped his peram-
bulations around after that traditional worm
if he had seen this architect secrete himself
behind pile of lumber and await, in deep
anxiety the coming tragedy. The next par
ty on the scene was contractor, soon fol-
lowed by workmen and prys and the stone
work commenced to move when out hops,
like wolf on the fold, the designer and
stopped further proceedings. The words
that passed deponent sayeth haught-the
fight that occurred he records not, only that
the Objectionable part of the foundation
will be taken up and relaid, and peace reigns
in all Israel.

PATRoNizE HOME INDUSTRIES.

1t is a universally admitted fact that it is
business to patronize home institutions and
industries. Builders of brick structures
should bear in mind that they can get their
cast iron fronts right at home as good and
cheap as they can abroad, and run no risk
in delay of transportation consequent upon
floods, washouts and so on, that are of so
frequent occurrence. Mr.. Flagg, of the
Globe Iron Works, has ample facilities for
doing such work, has thoroughly compe-
tent pattern maker and guarantees to do as
good work as can be had elsewhere. He is
now at work on the fronts for John Exton's
new block, the order having first been given
to the Fort Scott foundry, but for some rea-
son or other taken away and given to Mr..
Flagg. Our builders should look into this
matter and if they can get the work done as
good and cheap at home, we know they are
public spirited enough to patronize home.

p. Campbell.
Yesterday divorce case was up before
the court in which Mrs NJ. III. Banning vs.
W. NJ. Banning. Divorce decreed to plain
tiff on account of abandonment.
Hiram Leighton was before Judge Sluss
on writ of heabas corpus and the court
granted an order suspending the commit
ment four months and ordered that the said
Leighton be required to pay 500 and costs,
which fine to be paid to the prosecuting
witness. G. w. &. Jones represented the
defendant in the trial and procured his re-
lease on conditions stated above. II will be
remembered that Leighton was convicted

THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSES.

Mr.. Abe Smith, to whom was awarded
the contracts for the erection of the two new
ward school buildings Ia be erected this
summer, exhibited to us the elevations and
plans. They are counterparts of each other
and will in many respects be the finest and
most convenient of all our school buildings,
as they win be by all odds the prettiest and
most imposing from an architectural stand
point. We see some criticism of the board
as TO the award of the contract We simply
observe that such criticisms are far-fetched
and uncalled for and were made without a
proper understanding or must have been.
Our school board is composed OF honorable
men in entirety and We believe the best
board as whole ever elected in the city.
At any rate their official actions in our
judgment are above suspicion. As for Mr..
Abe Smith the contractor he stands second
to no man as a conscientious, painstaking
and competent architect, builder and con-
tractor.

NARROW ESCAPE.

Mr.. Baur, superintendent ofthe gas works
narrowly escaped being run over by the
Wichita 4 Western passenger train yester-
day morning on the Lawrence avenue cross
ing. He was driving up to town as tho train
arrived at that point and thought he had
time enough to get over before the train
came up, but he was too late. Another
team was ahead of him which prevented his
going fast and his horses head had just
reached the track when the engine came up.
Mr.. Bauer tried to back the horse but there
was no time, but the animal saved himself
and owner by turning suddenly to one side,
upsctting the rig and splitting the driver just
as the train rushed by. Mr.. Bauer was
badly scared but not seriously hurt, but it
was narrow escape

WAR RELIC,

Mr.. J. K Snively, showed An EAGLE re-
porter a curious war relic yesterday. 1t is
a spoon made of old tin by Mr.. Snively
while in Andersonville prison and is nov
city in its way. The tin is doubled up for
the handle and the blade is attached by
riyets. When If is remembered that a jack
knife is the only tool the mechanic had 70
work with, the spoon is well built. AT the
close of the war Mr.. Snively gave IT TO his
eldest sister who kept it until she died abou,
ten years ago. Her husband married again
and his youngest daughter got the spoon
and kept it until she came here a short time
ago, when she asked Mr.. SniSely if he recog-
nized it. He saws he would no. take $50
for it. 1t is a memcnto of seven long months
in the horrible rebel pen.

The contract for Mike Zimmerly's build
ing was let yesterday, w. p. Stemm being
the winning bidder. The building will cos,
$1,000, which is $500 more than We put it
at yesterday, which together W it'll the ms.
take in John Exton's block adds $1,000 to
our aggregate estimate. We have seen the
draft of the front elevation of Mr.. thinner
ly's building. II will be one of the most
attractive in the city. The front will be
iron and plate glass and the front wall from
the upper flor to the top will be of St.
Louis pressed brick. The building is to be
completed September 18th.

DULL DAY.

In consequence OF the rain and mud yes
terday was dull day in business circles,
that is for Saturday. There WAS very lit
tie grain or other produce in the city and
the prices in our local market report wers
not changed in anything save perhaps hogs.
Hogs brought from $3.50 10 $40; Ugh;
hogs suitable for breakfast bacon being in
demand and bringing the highest price
Kansas fruits are becoming very plentiful in
the market and the price, especially Of
peaches is tumbling down. Peaches are
such an immense crop tina. the price will be
low, although the canning factory viii helr
out in ths; respect.

A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

Another of Wichita's big and strong
monetary institutions makes q showing I'M
der the law and their official oaths of its
standing in this issue. Although one of the
youngest banks of the city il is owned and
controlled by men who have been closely
identified with Wichita from il start; and,
although young as TO years, there are few
banks in the state that can make such a
showing as that to which We allude. The
totals reach almost half million OF dollars
With about = quarter of a million deposits.
We assuredly congratulate the officers and
digectors Of the Citizens Bank.

CORR ECTION

In our building article yesterday We were
misinformed as to the Dimensions and cost of
John Exton's block on Douglas avenue, not
having seen Mr. Exton at that time. This
fully $4,000, thus increasing our aggregate
estimate $1,000. This building is designed
for a wholesale grocery house and the foun-
dation is peculiarly adopted for heavy bus
ness, the walls being extra heavy and two
extra wall: being built in the center so as to
render it doubly strong. As matter of
fact the foundation is built with view TO
making tia five story building some day.

Mr.. NJ. l. Cohn, of Chicago, whom We
mentioned yesterday as visiting his father in
this city, in connection with the latter made
us call yesterday. Mr.. Coin, senior, NOV
ed to Chicago when that city contained but
eleven thousand people and has watched all
its subsequent development Mr.. Cohn,
junior, is very intelligent gentleman whose
head seems full of political economy and
who is wonderfully well posted as TO the
underlying causes of the commercial SUI
premacy of American cities. He is in fact
a representative Chicagoisn whose philoso-
phy Is in no wise circumscribed by even s
tinge of dead conservatism.

PROPOSED coLrof n xA,,sAs.

The committee of the state convention Of
the Christian church, Of Kansas, appointed
October 8, to whom was referred the mat
ter of establishing q college under the aus
pices of the church, make the following an
nouncements:
I. That it is the determination OF the
brotherhood of the state to establish such q
college at an early day.
.. That il is the desire of the COMMITTEES
that, as far as possible, the strength Of the
entire brotherhood of the state shall be con-
centrated upon an effort to found and build
up one college that shall be worthy of q
rapidly growing people In this rapidly grow
| ing state.
9. That the committee is now ready to
receive bids from all points in the state de-
string the location of the college.
4. That these bids are asked on the ex-
press condition that at least one hundred
thousand dollars will be put into the en-
terprise in addition to the amount con-
| tributed by the county in which the college
| shall be located.

Committee.
For further information, address the chair
man, A. j. Thompson, Manhattan, Kan.
The above is clipped from the Christian
Standard, the official organ of the Christian
church. Mr.. Snively informs us that the
committee have been in correspondence with
the church here and that instead of one
hundred thousand dollars TO be invested that
thew are now warranted in saying that the
amount will be nearer two hundred thous-
and, the responses being so much more gen.
erous than was at first expected. 1t is the
intention Of the church to have one state in
stitution only, grand central college, with
liberal endowment. The matter is one
which is well worthy the earnest attention
and consideration Of the people Of Wichita.
As yet no denomination has come forward
with such guaranty. The Methodists only
offered to name and take charge of their en-
terprise. The United Presbyterisns said
that they would duplicate any amount tina.
Wichita might give, but here is church
proposes two hundred thousand dollars and
with liberal endowment to follow.
