THE NEW ERAIN KANSAS.

With million and quarter Of inbab.-
tants, Kansas has entered upon new era OF
growth and progress. The ten prosperous
years Just passed have built up an aggregate
of wealth exceeding S700,000,000 Tho
early Kansas of seif-denial, trouble and sac
riiice has passed and is a mrtter of history.
To-day, with q million and quarter of iu-
telligent, progressive people, strong in their
belief in the rich valleys and prairies sur
rounded BY schools, churches and every con-
venience and luxury of the time, a new ERA
has commenced. At the rate of the presen,
increase of 10000 new citizens per month
seeking homes and business, Kansas will
show population of two millions in 1890
Missouri, with the old curse Of slavery
lingering in her bourbonistic blood, ha:
witnessed the tide of emigration sweep over
her rich lands TO settle in Kansas. The
hope that the sluggish ''big muddy would
stop the traders and builders Of cities and
railroads aud keep the thousands of enter
prisinG and progressive people Of the east
from coming to Kansas, where free air Is
breathed and a warm welcome extended.
was exploded many years ago.
The new era in Kansas means the build
ing of new towns on Kansas soil. Il means
that the people Of this great state have an
empire of Itself within its own borders, and
that they no longer have to look to other
sections, but possess everything here neces-
sarv TO the comfort, happiness and prosper
ity of her people.-Leavenwort Times.

Special NOTICES.
Safety Absolute.

The BlSK OF WICHITA is determined TO
leave nothing undone that will secure per-
feet safety TO their Depositors and them
selves. They have now in course Of con-
struc,ion one of the very best burglar proof
safes known TO the makers of safes through
out the world.
The great problem is at las; solved in
making a safe powder proof as well as
burglar proof. This safe has 10 holes run
ming through the door as is the case with al
other safes, but when closed is absolute
safety against powder, which deprives the
most skillful burglar Of even a shadow of
success. To this safe will be added the
"Non Lock Out" Time Lock, the best and
most perfect time lock known 10 mechanical
skill. d136-lm
