Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1884-1886, 1886-01-17

We are informed, BY one interested in all
things pertaining to art, that some of the
ladies Of Wichita are perfecting arrange
ments to hold an art exhibition within the
next month. Some two or the. years ago
We had an art loan exhibition managed by
some oftbese same ladies which, although
falling far short of their ideas of a true art
exhibit, did more toward developing the
desire for beauty and the growth of the art
spirit in this city than they had any hope
for at the time they were inaugurating this
movement. 1t is proposed to have nothing
on exhibition but the work of Wichita
people, and it is confidently hoped that a
collection will be brought together that will
prove that We have more than one embryo
artist in our midst. A number of premiums
will be offered and the premium list will be
so arranged that both pupils and teachers
can compete. The premiums will probably
be given for landscapes, both from nature
and copies, floral studies, studies from still
life, etc, also for the most popular picture
on exhibition. In addition to the money
prizes offered it is thought some of our
leading business men may be induced to
offer some individual prizes in any depart
ment of art they may choose.
Prof. Fritch, principal of the Southwest
ern Business college. has his hands full with
the many applicants for admission to this
new institution Of learning which has so
rapidly come into favor and is also SO ad-
mirably located in the chief commercial
city of the state. The new scholars who
have come in this week are as follows: Miss
Wilson, Sherman, Tex Otto Bidwell, Sedg-
wick. Kan; Clarence Bidwell, Sedgwick,
Kan; W. S. Duffield, Sonora, CAL; Caleb
Moore, White Cloud. Kan; J. w. Bent, An
thony, Kan. In all, there were ten new
corners, about half OF whom reside in Wich-
ita. The location Of this institution is in
the new Noble building, corner of Topeka
and Douglas avenues, which is one of
the finest and most extensively constructed
business blocks ameng the many that were
erected last summer. The college rooms are
on the first floor up stairs and are all well
lighted and very comfortable in all respects.
Johnny Majors, the bright little son Of
Mr.. George Msjors, died last evening after
sickness of only two or three days duration,
Of pneumonia. In life's pleasing morning
without cares, save the light fancies of the
school boy, while protected by the love of
his home and the afectionate care and pride
of his father, in three short, swift days was
the life of our little friend stranded. The
sympsth of many father and mother will
go out for the desolate hearts of that home
this morning, and in pity that one so prom
Using should thus so suddenly be snatched
from parents, home and life.
In view OF the fact tina: the EAGLE in an
editorial, intimated that the heating appara-
tus put in the county building by Killeen &
Stockinger, was failure, We wish to say in
their behalf, that it has not had sufficient
trial to make such o statement.
