FREE DELIVERY.

Hon. Thos. Sdvers, the government agent
for the postofice department, arrived in
Wichita Yesterday for the purpose of taking
the necessary steps to give this city . free
delivery. The department is very liberal in
it, Instructions.
Mr.. Stivers and the postmaster will at
tempt to figure out the necessities Of the
surroundings today. The city will have to
be divided into districts. with maybe an e1-
tn station or 80. It will take some seventy
i've or one hundred letter boxes for this city,
with from i've to seven delivery clerks OF
carries, - they are denominated.
The department now that there is No
chance for the people longer to curse the
Republican postmaster because Of the ex-
creable service, suggests to Mr.. Stivers tha.
they feel prepared to allow more clerks, etc.
The proposition comes too late to help the
present p. m. Mr.. S. says there is not room
enough in the present building. That's
nothing new, for there hasn't been half
room enough for long time. No doub.
IS soon as all these matters have been ar.
ranged and provided for so that the post
master can get his salary instead of paying
it out to clerks that some Democrat will pop
up with commission in his fist and an or
der to take possession,

SOUTH MAIN BUILDINGS.

The building boom is on the eve Of open
ing up in full force on South Main street.
Messrs. Tom Jewell, William Kassel and
William Smizer have had the frame houses
on lots 90 and 81, about the center of the
second square, west side, removed prepara-
tory to the erection of two-story brick
block, so feet front and 100 feet deep. These
buildings are to be of modern design and
finished in the most approved style. Mr..
Jewell will supervise their construction.
Nearly opposite to the above and en- the
corner of Main and English, Col. Stewart
will, in short time, commence the building
of two-story brick business house, that he
designs having occupied as . first-class res
tsurant and confectionery on the first floor,
with we'll appointed sleeping apartments on
the second floor.
Other good brick buildings in that vicin-
ity are in contemplation for this season, and
before another twelve month South Main
will begin to compete, in business, with
North Main and Douglas.

A DESERVED RECOGNITION.

Mr.. Joseph H. Richards. the general solic-
ito. Of the Fl Scott and Wichita railroad,
and of the Wichita and Colorado, or Eagle
Line, was, at the late meetings of the direc-
tors. elected first vice-president of each of
these corporations The promotion is not
only deserved one upon his part, but
wise one for the companies. Upon Mr..
Richards, as general solicitor, and which
position he still holds, great amount Of
responsibility has fallen. He has had to
determine alone and in the absence of any
advice, questions and matters involving vast
interests, many Of which touched closely
the prosperity Of this city, in which the
closest discrimination and soundest judg-
meme were necessarily employed, and it is
expressing nothing more than the truth to
say that he has made no mistakes, neither
did he fail to meet the expectations and to
satisfy his superiors. Mr.. Richards is now
Q resident of this city and is as proud of
Wichita as any Of US, notwithstanding his
many years Of close Identification with the
political and legal affairs of Eastern Kansas.
In congratulating him it is not out CT place,
probably, to say that he stands high in the
estimation of the Union Pacific management
at St. Louis, as he also does with the Office
of the chief management in New York.

LIES BATTLE ENDED.

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Tucker, not only in this city, but through
out the county Of Sedgwick, will hear with
sorrow that they have buried their little
Ruth, whose sweet spirit passed from earth
on the 9th, the little casket of clay which
had held the jewel being brought to this
city Wednesday evening, where, with the
mingled tears of many old friends, who had
repaired to the cemetery to meet the parents,
the precious burden was, in the light Of the
fading day, laid away forever. The city
below will go on with its turmoil, its con-
Aicts and restless life, it may be for centu-
ries, but little Ruth will quietly rest in an
undisturbed and dreamless sleep which
alone can be broken by Him in whose
watchful love the sleep of the grave is as nat
ural, as necessary and even as brief as the
sleep of q single hour.
