Few probably are aware that within a
short time there will appear a bright and at
tractive book which will be not only an illus
trated review Of the progress and Importance
Of Wichita, but which will contain number
Of readable sketches OF her prominent people
and past history. This book will be issued by
the Enterprise Publishing company, is being
edited and compiled by Hon. Andrew A.
Heusiey, and his assistant. Mr.. G. ". Suli-
van. The Enterprise Publishing company
have issued such works for the leading cities
Of the west and south, Kansas City being the
last place for which such work ives gotten
out The publishers found only one city in
Kansas which would justifysuch publication.
Two other cities in Kansas had population
adequate but the commerce of said cities was
found totally inadequte to such an expense.
The book will touch every interest OF the city
every branch of trade and of manufacture
It will be full of illustrations and whoever
finds il will read it and whoever reads it will
know all about Wichita There are only a
few, very few numbers of the edition remain
ing unsubscribed for The book is printed

vertisement anything ever issued in the state.

INVESTIGATING.

Mr. J. R. Madison, of Ottawa, ILL.,. arrived
in the city few days ago. He is on pros
pecting tour in the west, and comes here
with an eye to business. He was formerly
connected with large grocery establishment
in this city, but a few weeks ago sold out
with a view of locating somewhere in the
west, as he was convinced that he would find
business more brisk than in the east. He has
visited several towns in this state, but de
cided to visit Wichita before coming 10 any
conclusion He seems to think that the far
reaching fame of this city entities it to an in
vestigation before deciding TO settle in any
other place in the state.
His few days investigation here Of the
rumberless inducements the city affords has
resulted in making an impression that Is
much in favor OF this city over any place he
has yet visited He has not however,
arrived at a definite conclusion, but the
pointer favor this city.

SQUIRTS.

A fellow was seen yesterday onsiain street,
near the county building, making the air
blue with sort of parlance for which he
seemed peculiarly adapted. He ventilated
himself at length, and the few who saw him
and knew not the cause of his agitation We're
attracted by his appearance and anxious to
learn the truth. 1t was not until he had ex-
hausted his .'cussinn vocabulary that he
took time to answer the inquiries that were
put at him with no little fear that they would
meet with an unkind reception.
When he had cooled down several degrees
he made an exhibition of his coat which was
sufficient in the minds of some
to show ample cause for his
actions 1t had been subjected to a tobacco
juice immersion from lad who was perched
in the upper story and was firing promiscu-
ously out the window on the street. He was
evidently Of good caliber, as he fired load
that made one think he had appropriated an
entire arsenal for that occasion.
When several present had expressed their
opinions on such carelessness a gentleman
appeared on the scene who commenced to un-
ravel an off hand sort of philosophy on the
phenomenon. This thing is becoming too
frequent" he commenced. 81 have observed
several similar instances of late and some
measures should be taken to put stop to it.
l saw a couple Of nicely dressed ladies walk
ing up the street the other day when some
careless tobacco consumer upset mouthful
of tobacco sauce out the window and the ma
jor part of it fell on one of them. Well, she
did not cuss like the most of us would have
done but she looked like she was thinking in
that direction powerful hard

A MASTODON.

This country was once the home of the

have been found We have piece of the
thigh bone of one, also perfect tooth weigh
ing several pounds. Yesterday Mr.. A. j.
Weaver, of Grant township, brought in a
complete bone of the fore leg from the knee
down which was found in digging well by
T. s. Spaulding of that township. An effort
will be made to excavate or secure the bal
ance Of the skeleton The knee shown us by
Mr.. Weaver, together with others, was found
about eleven feet below the surface. Mr.
Rodolph Hatfield says that if the skeleton
can be secured the directors would take it for
the Lewis academy
