CITY COUNCIL.

The city council met last night in the
the council chamber with councilmen
Carey, Huff, Stone and Harris absent and
his honor, the mayor, presiding.
The finance committee reported the pipe
ordered for the Topeka avenue ditch. The
private subscription for the laying Of the
same, at present amounts to $500 with $3.50
additional promised. Near $500 of the
amount paid in has been already expended.
The light committee made q report that
created quite breze; i: being to the effect
that the gasolene lamps were decided nuis-
ance, as they burned better on
clear nights than on dark ones. An
explanation for the existing phenomena,
which resulted in the aforementioned opin-
ion, was offered, bu. it did not seem to quiet
the desire on the part of those present to
make demonstration over the matter.
Mr.. Healy thought all the lamps were
lighted regularly, but sometimes they con-
cluded to quit before the proper time.
The matter of getting the Fort Scott rail-
road committee to grade Wichita street be-
tween Second and Oak streets was referred
to Mr.. Healy.
committee all circuses that hereafter come
to the town will be compelled to pay tax
of 500 for each day and the same amount
for each street parade.
The SPECIAL fire committee was granted
additional time in which to decide upon the
propriety of establishing fire marshal,
whose duty it shall be to look after the en-
tire fire department.
The property owners along the south side
of Oak street, between the river and Law
renee avenue, were instructed to construct q
five and one-third walk in front of their
property within thirty days.
Mr.. NJ. L. Carver was given the same
time in which to construct a cement walk in
front of his property on Market street.
Mr. N. NJ. Fechheimer asked the council
to establish the northeast corner
of Market street and Douglas avenue,
as he expects soon to commence four story
brick on that location. When this question
was sprung there entered d general talking
period which lasted some time. The sub
ject for discussion generally was the pre-
dicament the city had fallen into as a result
Of the many different surveys of the city
having been followed to certain extent in
locating buildings. The old bear survey
and many others were discussed over again
at length, and what to do was the question
above all others. Finally the motion to re-
fe, the matter to the public improvement
committee and the city engineer was de-
feated, and the motion after
wards made by Mr.. Hesly to
refer the matter TO the city engineer, was
passed. The city engineer said he would be
governed by Baer's survey.
The alley south of Mr.. j. T. Mead's resi-
dence, was declared vacated.
Measures were taken for opening Sher-
man avenue, north Of Central TO the cream
cry building.
The council adjourned to meet at the
regular time.

WOOL MARKET.

Wichita is fast coming to the front as q
central wool market Our grain and live
stock trade during the past two years have
attained great proportions. As a matter
of fact, this city has become the central
trading point for the above-named interests,
but not until yesterday did our news seekers
catch on to the fact that this city is spring
ing into great prominence as wool market.
Seeing two car loads of the great staple
at the Santa Fe ID bot for L. Hays, re-
porter visited his warehouse, 10 the building
formerly occupied by TodG's elevator Office,
corner Of Douglas avenue and the Santa Fe
track. There be found 100000 pounds of
fine wool in addition to the two cars at the
depot, and Mr.. Hays informed him he had
contracted for 150, 900 pounds more, which
he will have shout July l. Mr.. Hays says
this is larger stock of wool than is stored
at any one point west of the Mississippi, and
that heis establishing here market for all
the wool product Of the southwest; also that
he would hold regular periodical public
sales. at which the principal wool buyers OF
| the United States would have representa-
ttves, and in this way the producers of the
southwest would obtain the highest rates for
their wool CROP. He says he has six agents
out buying in Kansas and Colorado. He
stated further that there are here at present
eight eastsrn buyers from the principal wool
houses of the eas.-two from st. Louis,
two from Chicago, one from Philadelphia,
two from New York and one from Boston:
In conversation with one of these gentle
men at the Manhattan the reporter learned
many things about wool. He said that
Kansas produces some of the finest wool
grown in the United States, and said he
"you talk about your grain, but tell you
the farmers of this state are foolish to raise
grain, they can do SO much better in sheep.
hogs, cattle, and horses. You are essen
TALLY stock growing state. If you could
have big wheat crop every year it would
not pay. 1t is only when there is a failure
of the wheat crop in Europe that wheat
pays for the raising out here SO far from the
sesboard."
The poor, billy, grsvely, rocky lands Of
the east produces wheat, but what account
are their narrow, hilly, little farms for stock
raising? Here in Kansas you have large
range and an abundance of nutritious grass
and stock of all sorts, including sheep and
their product, will yield far more profitable
crop than any grain you may raise for sale.
OF course grain for feed will be profitable,
but wheat won. pay any more than enough
for your own bread:
