PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE.


The Prebytsrian College committee met
at the Presbyterian church last night to de-
sermine on steps to be taken in furtherance
of the college scheme.
Among other things they resolved to
abandon the College hill proposition from
the fact that the subscriptions necessary
have not been received, the property owners
there not offering inducements expected OF
them.
The committee resolved to 60 on with the
original proposition in the city and viii
build on the Sluss property. An executive
committee was formed composed of Huett
Lewis and Little to settle on plans and de
signs. Huett and Hatfield will start sub
scrip.ion towards carrying out this design
The purpose being to put up wing OF tn
main building to start school in tempo
rarity before early winter. The amount re
quired will be shout $4,000 and no doub
is feared of obtaining it.

SUBURBAN GROWTH.

The building growth Of Wichita has been
for the past two years so great in all dircc-
tons from the commercial area, that one
might suppose no further additions would
be found profitable for years, nevertheless
hardly week passes that some new plat is
not laid out and filed in the clerks Office.
Less than two years ago the writer landed
in Wichita and next day took general
stroll about the city. At that time the resi-
dence area was included between Oak street
on the north, English street on the south,
the Santa Fe track on the east and the Ar
kansas river on the west. The buildings be-
yond these boundaries were few indeed aad
in many places within these bounds build
ings were somewhat scattering. In Hyde
& Ferrell's addition in the north,
in Garrison's addition in the
northwest, and Greiffenstein's two
additions in the northwest there was not q
building. Now there is dense population
in all these localities extending over mile
in any direction beyond the then suburbs
All that section abounds in fine homes, vel
graded streets and boulevards. There vert
but a few houses east Of the Santa Fe
then. Now East Wichita is thickly settled
and the street cars RIM nearly mile east o
the Santa Fe depot, and thickly settlet
district-then common, reaching ava,
down mile south of the avenue, is ais,
thickly settled. At the time spoken Of Their
were but two houses south of the Wichit'
and Western railway, and English's
Zimmerley's and Fitzgerald's ad
ditions were wild lands. Now tn
street cars run about two miles south o
Douglas avenue on Main street among fin
residences and beautiful homes, and on on
street two or three stores. The transforms
ton in the two years named have seldom
been equaled in any other city and still
there is no let up. More additions are beinl
laid off and greater number of fine busi
ness houses being built at the present tim
than at any other period Of her existapct
and this boom will from all indications con
tinue until this is city of $4,000 people

as the deceased was one of the brightest and
most popular ladies in the city. The death
caused universal mourning.

oil and gas excitement. There is a
vast amount Of gas in circulation on

not of that kind that may be utiliz-
ed to very great profit. Quite a
number of the farmers in this dis
trict have leased their farms to COM
panies of Pittsburgh and Philadel-

while others are holding until test
well has been put down, expecting
then to reap fortune, if the expert
ment should prove successful.

A novel and INSCRIPTIONS method
of imposing upon the verdancy of a
great many alleged heirs to an alleg-
ed estate of great value in England
has just come to light. The family
imposed upon so Systematically is
named Drake, aud are scattered
throughout five counties in this
State, Roane, Richie, Calhoun, Ka-
nawha and Clay. The operators in
this bold scheme are a number of
New York law-sharpers, who act
through local attorney. Their
plan is to represent to the heirs,
which number about seven hundred,
that a namesake of theirs has left a
vast estate to them in England, and
that in order to enjoy it some litiga-
ton will be necessary. The local
attorney said to be in Richie
county, has succeeded in working
up the Drake heirs to a state of ex-
element. The value of the estate
is represented as fabulous, and the
innocent heirs have already spent
hundreds of dollars in lawyers fees
without getting anything in return.
An investigation is to follow.
