It will probably soon transpirs that Gen.
Wallace has returned to Constantinopls in
response to a cable dispatch from the sultan
Of Turkey. 1t is well known that during
his recent residence as United State.
minister at the court Of the sultan he no,
only formed an intimate personal friendship
with that monarch, but was honored with
his confidence to such an extent that he be
came his counselor in important public
affairs. 1t may be that the chief purpose
of his present mission is to give his aid in
the pending negotiations for peace; but his
services will be in still more urgent demand
in case of their failure.
Should there be an eastern war, which
now seems inevitable, Gan. Wallace will nc
doubt be rendered a high position in the
sultan's service, and it Is not at all unlikely
that be will bs commander-in-chi OF the

RAILROAD MEETING.
The Southwestern Project Shows
Signs of Life Another Fight OF
Way Granted.

TIE directors OF the Atchison and
Southwestern railroad, birmingham
and Larkin cut-off) held a meeting at
John NJ. Prices office yesterday, the
proceedings of which may finally re-
suit in something of Importance.
Afterwards special meeting of the
city council was held and an ordinance
granting right of way through the
CITY passed. Mayor Kelsey and all the
councilmen were present except
Messrs. Hudson and Jochems. and the
ordinance passed by 8 unanimous
vote. The right of way starts from
the end of the Missouri river bridge
and is confined TO the strip OF territory
between the south line of Eighth
street, and from there by the most
feasible unoccupied route north OF
Park street to the city limits.
AS NJ. y. Low, the attorney for
the Rock Island road, was in town all
day Yesterday, and as charter W as
filed at Topeka yesterday for three
miles of road from Larkin, radiating
southwest. west and northwest, ii Is
believed that the Rock Island COM
pany mean business III Kansas, and
that thew will start in at AtchlsoD. If
property owners will not show any
bristles. and ii our citizens generally
will take some interest in the enter
prise.-Atchison Champion.
The above is interesting reading 10
the Wichita people as one OF the
branches spoken of, is what is known
as the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska
railroad, for which charter was
fled on Thursday last running from
Larkin 10 Wichita. The Champion
says further in an editorial, that:
The meeting of railroad people and
of the city council yesterday, noticed
in our local columns, means business,
if our people also mean business.
What is needed now is little consist
emf action on the part of our citizens.
When the, Champion had occasion
some weeks ago to spend bad quar-
ter of an hour with the city council,
because, in the Champions opinion,
that body seemed TO fail, in graspiDg
the railroad situation, the people gen.
orally said 'amen." The city council
is all right now. 1t has risen TO the
level OF the situation. Now let A.ch-
isou wake up, stand by the council,
show sand, nerve, grit, enterprise, lib
crafty, and the Southwestern road.
and more too, is ours. The Champi-
on is not accustomed TO crow before
the edge of the forest is reached.
Nothing, in our opinion, can prevent
the ''filling of the long-felt want ex-
cept paralyzing stupidity or mistak- n
individual Selfi.huess.

concert. The rink was weel filled; bu
part of the company failed to gel
down from Wichita. and on account
of this they returned and repeated
their concert on Monday evening O
this week, but to i small audience.
Tuesday evening Nox Il Low gave
q trick entertainment to full house
Thursday and Friday evening there
were Christmas trees and exercises at
the Methodist and Presbyterian
churches. The churches were packed
and many mad to content themselves
either by counting the stars or going
home.
Rev. Mr. Fortune, of wellington
was advertised to preach here Sunday
evening and lecture Monday evening,
but he failed to be present.
Our local paper, the Star, will noi
be issued this week, so we shall have
to depend on outside papers for the
news.
W. L. Edwards has moved his gro

Lee jenkins has opened grocery

Mr. Gable is building house in the

The ladies of the Presbyterian
church and society will give social

invited.
Although we have no open place
where inioxicauts are sold, Old tengle

the town if two or three places were
closed never TO reopen.
The prospects for cur town next
sprisg are bright, and boom will
probably strike lis. We shall then
have one, possibly two, brick kilns in
operation aud several brick blocks in
process of erec;ian. Also the college
we spoke several weeks since of need

horizon as a thing that may be. Now
give us the starch factory.
A literary society was organized
here last night and will meet again

we're appointed and by the next meet
