WHY WICHITA is A WONDER.

A city but fifteen years old that spends
$50 900 annually for schools as a mere mat
ter of fact, adds 1000 inhabitants to its pop
ulation annually and builds more than 500
houses in the building season, may excite the
wonder of people from any section of our
country. A city that is made up of the en-
| terprise Of all the states and a number Of
foreign countries msy not take back seat
in any enterprise thst intelligence and ex-
perience can surmount. A location that
has drawn to q wild Buffalo plain in
fifteen years 10000 inhabitants need not fear
| its future in five years, or, for that matter
the next century. 1t at the first glance
| seems strange that Wichita should be so
well known in all parts of the United States,
but when it is recollected that almost every
| citizen who is numbered in this common
| wealth has relatives and friends in the places
| whence they came and that It's citizens are
from all sections of the country and to all
parts Oft country go the newspapers Of
the city IS well as friendly letters it
l Il iOk ithiai lAuic Aof 0oNaAso
ges are as well known in Maine, Florida and
Michigan as places much nearer. The rapid
advance of real estate and the general pros
perity and affluence to which most all of the
old citizens have so soon realized has been
sent to their old homes, where, perhaps,
they had been on the lower rungs of the
ladder, has excited the interest of their old
neighbors and they follow along to share in
the good things that genial climate. produc-
tive soil and enterprise ensure.
But Wichita has got beyond the country
town and turned on the road of metro
polls. She stands alone in the great valley
of the Arkansas, commanding supremacy
over many thousands Of square miles, a ter
ritory larger than many of the older states
as the central figure of commerce and CAPT,
tai. With, perhaps, nearly 100000
actively engaged in commerce through
out this territory she defes rivalry
and competition. Taking away
the trade of Kansas City and other cities
that were wholesale cities when Wichita wa;
laid of, TO such a degree as to surprise hel
most enthusiastic admirer, she goes along
boom succeeding boom, to her destiny
1t is not to be wondered at that real estats
is advancing ; nor is it to be wondered al
that it will continue to advance to all time
New railroads are the demands of the
city, and being the demands, that inheren,
| - l.. -
zens, will rise TO the emergency, and they
will be built. The last few months has de
veloped two roads, one Of which has beer
built 10 the county line, and the ether close
to realization. Then will follow another
and another, and still railroads must be
built to center at Wichita, until she become:
the great railroad center of the territory
which has and ever will select her as its me-

REcREANT HUSBAND.
Deserts His Wife and Children for Frsil
Syren.

Sheriff HAYES arrived in this city last
night having in his possession a prisoner
held under warrant issued out Of Justice
Thomas court, charging him with abscond-
ing with money belonging to his wife. The
particulars were discovered by a reporter
Thursday, but on account of the innocent
parties connected with the affair was sup
pressed. Since it now has become of noto-
riety it is not deemed best to keep it longer
from the public.
The facts, as related to a reporter, are as
follows: The defendant had executed

was lead to do SO on the representation that

ever, NO sooner got the money than he left

feminine baggage, in the direction OF Fort

Mrs. Deichmann. The two bridesmaids
Lena Cohn, of st. Mary's and Frances
Deichmann, were escorted by Alfred Deich-
mann and NJ. Goldstandt, of Silver Cliff
Col, the groomsmen.
Mr.. Deichmann and the mother of the
groom completed the party. They pro-
ceeded to the large arch where the bell was
hanging, where the beautiful Hebrew ser
vices were pronounced by Rabbi Joseph
Krauskopf, of Kansas City. The bride was
sttired in an ivory white embossed velvet,
trimmed with seed pearls and pearl fringe.
The couture was arranged la pompsdour,
or7amented with diamonds and the usual
bridal veil. Both bridesmaids were dressed
alike in ivory white surah silk, trimmed with
Valenciennes lace gsrnished with natural
flowers. Both the mothers of the bride and
groom were elegantly attired in black silks
with diamond ornaments. The little flower
girls wore pale blue silks trimmed with Val
enciennes lace. While the orchestra was
PLAYING, the newly married couple received
the congratulations Of their many friends,
after which the guests repaired to the
Eldridge house parlors where an elegant
repast was served at which many toasts
were drank. All then repaired to the hall
and engaged in dancing. The couple will
leave to-day for their home in Wichita.

large attendance Of visitors.
At the Fourth ward schools the exercises
were highly entertaining, and several
lengthy programmes were rendered.
In addition to the literary exercises in all
the grades, genuine birthday celebration
wss held in the third grade, where abundant
refreshments were served.
The seventh, eighth and high school
grades united. and rendered lengthy pro-

well as instructive, to large and apprecia-
tive audience. The address by the Hon. W..

Wichita has Q genuine clearing house.

change and to supply currency to all the

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

Rentfrow's musical comedy company
gave rich and racy play last night to .
good house, at which any amount Of bur
lesque, fun and comic tragedy was enjoyed.
Master frankie Jones was just tso, to, and
received applause through the play. The
company is composed Of live personnel, and
in the plays they bring out arc shining
lights of farce and comedy. The splendid
orchestra and songs interspersed through
the play were lots of enjoyment. The COM
pany present "Six Peas in Pod" tonight,
one of their special performances that has
made the company quite popular in the
places whore it has been presented.
Mr.. Fl. Q. Malsbury, who formerly re-
sided in this city. came in from the west this
morning and gives an interesting account of
his experience on q snow bound train at
Kinsley, which was caught in the storm last
week and delayed six days at that point.
He informed the reporter that the snow in
the cut near Kinsley was drifted eighteen
feet deep, and it required the work of 400
men for several days to get the track open.
The passengers when they became fully
aware of their situation and the probable
length of time they would have to stay in
the train, made up their minds to enjoy
themselves as much as possible, and from
all accounts they did have quite jolly time
of it. Mr.. Malsbury also speaks in the
warmest praise of the train men and Con-
ductor L. J. Lemere, who made every exer-
ton under the circumstances to make the
passengers comfortable.

b. II. Linton and James w. Moffat have
leased for a long term of years, the premises
recently burned out on east side of Main
street near the corner of First street, on
which is to be erected substantial and
capacious three-story brick building, which
they will occupy as soon as completed as q
wholesale dry goods and notion store. This
will be an important acquisition to the bust
ness interests of this city, and will probably
assist largely in making a new era in the
short but brilliant history of city, which,
if not yet the largest, is certainly the best
and most active in the state. Mr.. Linton
has been for years one of the solid and most
prosperous dry goods merchants in Ohio.
Mr.. Moffat has spent his entire business life
in the wholesale dry goods business on
Broadway, New York City. With full
acquaintance with the best European markets
as well as the many large and important
manufacturers in the eastern and middle
states, it is expected that the new business
will have facilities seldom met with this side
of New York city. The field for The already
large wholesale operations in this vicinity is
daily increasing, and there is no reason why
Wichits should not be a general distribut-
ing point for all the great and prosperous
country within radious of $50 miles.
