resolution:
Resolved, That this committee announce
itself ready to receive and consider any pro-

of said plat of grounds, said proposals to be

1t is matter of history that the cholera
plague as time advances grows less fatal to
cities and communities. Science has risen
and partly drowned the poisonous fangs Of
the dreadful monster by destroying the food
upon which he feeds. This food is the
poisonous waters accommodating IN wells
from the drainage of cities and the filth ac-
cumulating in streets and alleys. The peo-
pie of 81. Louis are at this time waging war
on the open wells and filling them up, 10
pie who own the wells l, is claimed in
previous years the dreaded scourse in 81.
Louis has been alar:ninglv fatal in those
districts where well water was Isei, and
where filthy streets did most abound. The
city OF Wichits is at this time arming 10
meet this monster. cholera, by looking 10
the purity of her wster supply and remoy-
ing poisonous filth from her streets and
alleys. Branches Of trees, cast of clothing,
fruit cans, old boots and shoes. filth from
hog pens and barns. dead dogs and refuse
from butcher shops, dead cats and waste
paper, slops and other things which are not
considered beneficial TO the health Of the
city, are all hauled away out on South En-
po-ia avenue four blocks south of Douglas
avenue, and fully 100 feet south OF the most
populous part of the city and dumped into
an excavation. The stencil arising from this
accumulation of refuse matter carried up
Emporis avenue by prevailing south winds,
would not be beneficial 10 the health of thst
aris;ocratic avenue, bu; il IS supposed the
perfunery arising from the brewery drain
at that point will sufficiently medicste the
condemnation to render it entirely health
full.

The METHODIST COLLEGE

The Wellington Daily Press gives us Il
column and half article on the subject of
the location of the Methodist college in
which il endeavors to show that Wichita has
no single advantage over Wellington or any
other town of the conference, desiring that
institution. There are none so blind as
those who won't see. Now mark us, follow
closely the words We write: The conference
govern the locating committee in making
the selection of a point, by resolution en-
phasized three prerequisites, which require
ments have already caused two places to
withdraw from the contest, to-wit, namely,
central location" accessibility and 'prob-
able local support" Wichita is the only
that comes anywhere near meeting
these requirements. She is central, is ac-
cessible and can afford the greatest local
support. VIII the Press please read that
resolution. Wellington is splendid town,
the biggest in this section outside of Wich-
ita, but she is situated within twenty miles
of the south line of the conference. Win
field is Il pleasant city, but lies in the south
east corner of the conference. FL Dorado
lies within eighteen miles of the east line of
the conference. Newton and Hutchinson
lie within twenty or thirty miles of the north
line of the conference. Hutchinson nor
Newton are so accessible as Wichita. In
other words, my dear sir, if the locating
committee don't lose sight of their instruc-
tions the college will be located at Wichita,
where the idea Of the enterprise first orig
mated and where the conference expected
southwest Kansas, but for Wichita first.
