STREET SCENES.

Street scenes in Wichita are always inte-
resting in variety of complexion, and odd
things. One day it is telescope, or the tail
end of tribe of Indians; another day it is
blocks of farm wagons and Immigrant outfits
then eavalcade of Texas ponies or few
teams and sheep going to the west, or some
other scene Of activity or oddity that drives
away monotomy before it rests on the house
tops.
Yesterday among the rumbling of farm
wagons the cry of actioneers and the
husiling on the streets of people bent on
shopping expeditions, band of Italian mu-
sicians were playing to the delighted audit
ors on the streets. The blocks in the streets
were not unfrequent and the bright day
witnessed a pleasant combination of hsppi-
ness, business, and the right smart sprink-
ling Of "honory" loafers and defeated man
kind; prince and reuper, saint and sinner
hustled one another Familiarity about while
the sun shown brightly, alike on the just
and the unjust.
While the police were running IN full
dozen vags the real estate men were talking
about the $1,000 sale Of lots near the new
government building, while one man is
making his fortune at good place as
workingman, another is tramping around
looking for bonanza Job at some light
work.
Wichita has its gamblers, its jointists and
its capitalists, it has its wealth and poverty,
Joys and sorrows, Its virtues and its vice, its
honesty and crime, just like any other great
city. She is growing and in her growth the
simple habits and lives of villagers must
disappear and take in all the variations of q
metropolis. Ambition and energy does not
stop for these drawbacks but pushes on to
realization of power and wealth.

SOUTHWESTERN BUSINESS COLLEGE.

As the Southwestern Business College is
now fully furnished and ready to accommo-
date large number of students, word
about the institution might not be amiss.
Although there has been q small CONNER
cial school conducted in this city for up
wards of year, the opening Of this insti-
tuition in the beautiful new Noble building,
on the corner of Topeka and Douglas ave-
nues, may be termed the advent of the first
regular, full-fedged commercial college in
this young city. The demand for bust
ness education in Kansas, is rapidly increas-
ing, in sympathy with the demand for clerks,
book-keepers, and accountants Of all kinds,
engendered by our rapid development.
New towns are springing up on every hand,
flied with business houses, and all must
have clerks, and the demand for well drilled
accountants and good penmen, is greater
than ever before. The custom of taking q
clerk from the cornieId with no knowledge
of accounts, and not able to write his name
legibly, is falling into disuse. Railroads are
building into every corner of our state. and
new avenues Of commerce are daily open
ing up. thus presenting advantages to all our
young men and women who are qualified in
the new and improved method. of accounts.
Prof. Fritch, the principal Of this college,
has been connected with the best CONNER
cial colleges in the country and is as thor
oughly competent in every department of
commercial education. He is superior
penman both plain and ornamental.
The college embraces nearly the whole
second floor of the Noble block, and is well
furnished, well ventilated, bright and pleas
ant The Office is in the front room on the
west or Topeka avenue side, and is elegantly
equipped for the purpose. Directly in the
rear Of this and opening into it by folding
doors is the commodius and well furnished
counting room which again opens into an
equally fine lecture room at the north end
of the building. On the other side Of the
hall are rooms for instruction in telegraphy
and photography. The whole constitute
the best equipped commercial college in the
state. The commercial course is very
thorough, embracing penmanship, book
keeping in all its forms, and suitable for rail-
reading, banking, commission, mining. sgri-
culture. merchandising and all modern lines
of business. Then there are course OF
commercial arithmetic and commercial law.
An able lawyer delivers lecture to the
students once week. Young men and
women of southern Kansas contemplating a
course Of business training will find it to
their interest to see the Southwestern Bus
mess College.

NOT LOOKING FOR A DIVORCE.

A venerable couple well known in this
city as the father of q rising lawyer and
a solid investment in Wichita real estate.
were walking along Douglas avenue hand
in hand. They looked quite happy and con-
tented as they wendell their way together,
and respectful glances were cast on them

that are, alas, too soon to pass away. An
old friend greeted them good morning and
said:

Judge Glenn had whole delegation Of
vags up before him yesterday, the police
having been out In the highways and by
ways on general roundup in celebration
of the last day of the year. They counted
up eleven impecunious fellows, who had
not as much as, cake of patent soap to in
dictate that they belonged to the nineteenth
century. What mattered it to them that
they lived in the days of mighty railroad
extensions or other great events OF the age
they were out at the elbow and heel, and it
takes money to buy whisky. They came in
like the prodigal son from feeding on husks
and wandering on the earth like the Arabs.
The last day of the year found them in the
delapidsted condition that would draw q
sigh from an Apacha Indian. Their names
were, Peter Sawyer. John Denhsm. Henry
Graden, John Mcdonald, Warren Az
drews, Thomas Berry and John Kerney.
The court gave them starter for the COM
ing year of $40 each and costs as minus cap
ital on which they may commence life
anew; or they might have q suspension Of
execution for two hours on which they
Nigh emigrate to a more congeniAl city.
The majority of them signiAed that they did
not require half that time.
Jacob Koy, Sam Thompson, James Flynn
and Tom Whitman were suspicioned of
intending to burglsrize store
on Douglas avenue, Wednesday night, and
were put in the cooler for the safety of the
city. They were taken before Judge
Balderston, who did not deem the evidence
sufficient to sustain the charge, and they
we're bounced bodily from the city. They
