CHANGES.

Root Brothers are moving the best of the
building material in their stable at the cor
ner Of Market and William streets to the
corner of Water and Waterman, where they
are engaged in erecting a new livery barn,
which they say will be one of the largest and
most complete in the city. Besides having
room for forty eight horses it will have place
for carriages, driveway and space for
hitching and unhitching teams.
Upon the site Of the old stable will be built
a five four-story brick business block with a
front of fifty feet and depth of hundred.
The block will be fitted with all the modern
conveniences, and add another to the many
fine business structures of the city.

A Chicago drummer yesterday after being

face remarked: "l'll bet my commissions

thousand people in this darned town and that
two hundred thousand of them are tramping

ROBERT McCAIRE.

This delightful opera was rehearsed at Col.
Stewards last even by some twenty-five of the
local cast under the instruction Of Mr.. Fred
Dixon, who unquestionably possesses high
order Of talent il this particular line, and
under his management the most popular OPP
era of the day will be given to our people in
a manner unsurpassed by any professional
troupe in the large cities of the east Just
stick pin there.
These who have heard the melodies in the
Mikado class them as inferior to those sang
in Robert McCaire; for instance the "Whis-
Ting Song" "All for Glory-A Soldiers
Life" and the Lullaby and Good Night"
song, as lady expressed 1t, are just too
sweet for anything.
Manager Dixon promises treat for Wich-
ita not only in this opera, but in others that
are to follow by professions.
1t might be proper to state here that the
proceeds of Robert McCaire are to be devo-
ted to the expense OF putting in a stage and
scenery in the Garfield Opera house, and in
providing opera chairs for this popular re-
sort. The OBJECT is commendable, and will
not be lacking in patronage.
Col. Stewart gave an elegant supper last
evening TO the cast at the Haldwell house.
This was heartily enjoyed after the work
of the evening.

GARFIELD GOT THERE.
Also an Important Industry to be Opened Hero
in the Spring.

Everybody knows how impossible tht
brick makers of this city found it during the
past summer to supply the demand. Train.
were busy all Summer delivering brick anc
stone to Wichita contractors. The bricf
came principally from Kansas City, st.
Louis. Carthage. Rich Hill and TT. Scott, the
| stone from the quarries in Butler and Cow
| ley and Chase counties The board of direc
tors of the Garfield University being now al
most ready for the brick work concluded
that if they waited until spring depending
on the local yards here that the chances
were the work would be delayed throughout
the summer Thus concluding buyer was
sent out to Leavenworth, to Kansas City
and other points 70 inspect large stocks
in kiln. Yesterday Judge Campbell in
formed Us that they had found two and q
half million bricks ct Fit Scott, belonging &c
Z. G. Lotterer, which were purchased at a
satisfactory price, together with one hun
dred and twenty-five Thousand of outside
pressed bricks The bricks will be delivered
this winter and as fast as wanted in the
spring upon the University grounds, SO that
there viii not be the slightest delay when the
great heavy walls commence to grow and
continue to grow until there shall stand re-
vealed on the beautiful plain on the west side
d structure which shall command the
admiration of all The EAGLE congratu-
lates the level headed men who had the fore
sight to see what was necessary, men who
have proved wonderfully adapted to the
great business Of building a monumental in
stitution which Garfield is to be.
In this connection comes another good
piece of news for Wichita Mr.. Lotterer,
who called yesterday, informs US that for
months he has been testing all the clays to be
found in the vicinity OF Wichita, going out
in different directions along the lines of rail
roads from Is to 20 miles. He thinks ne has
found clay which viii make brick which
for color, smoothness and compactneSs will
rival the best brick of the west. He has
abundant capital and it is his intention to
open out with all the improved machinery
for brick making next spring. He says he
viii make one hundred thousand per day.
That viii be something like, and we con-
graduate our contractors that they will not
be compelled to go through the sweat to
which they were subjected last year.

Mrs. CLEVELAND, who was once resi-

revisit the home of her childhood, and has
indicated her intention, Providence and the
president permitting, to visit this city next
summer, Whenever she may decide to
come TO the Northwest'S metropolis, Mrs.
CLEVELAND will find welcome awaiting
her SURPRISING any that has been yet given
by her admiring countrymen. She will
find just what Western gailantry means,
and. our word for it, the experience will
not prove an unpleasant one. But if a
suggestion may be made, both the president
and Mrs. CLEVELAND might take their
Western trip at an earlier period with ad-
vantage. The Northwest in summer is, of
course, unsurpassed, but tine Northwest in
winter when the carnival is at its height.

CLEVELAND reach st. Paul about JAN

THE CHANCE NEBRASKA.

There is more than a probability that
Nebraska will return a Democratic senator
at the approaching election. The protest
against the continued domination of that
state by the railroads, which has eliminated
in the organization of legislative party
which intends to fight any and every rail-
road candidate. will, it is thought. be sutfi-
cient to bring about. in connection with the
Democratic strength. the much needed
change. In the nature of things Nebraska,
occupied by people who are Democratic
in the fullest sense of the term, should be
represented by a man of the people,
Democrat, in the national legis-
publicans are numerically greater than the
opposition in the legislature, it looks very
much as though that is just what will &C.
cur On joint ballot the legislature will
stand ninety-three Republicans and forty
Democrats. VAN WICK, the present in
cumbent will enter the senatorial race with
forty pledged votes, the opposition Repub-
licans with forty three and the Democrats
with forty. If the Demo Gratis hold out a
deadlock will ensue and the anti-VAN WICK
forces make no secret of their intention to
vote for a Democrat to break it rather than
to re-elect the present senator. The cleo
ton of Democrat through such a conlbi-
nation of circumstances is not unparalleled
in the political history of the United States.
and Nebraska. in following the example.
will be adopting a most worthy precedent.

THE RIO VERDICT CRITICISED.


A correspondent criticises with well
founded severity the verdict of the coronerS
jury which investigated the Rio disaster. on
the ground that it placed all the blame
upon Brakeman WELLS shoulders. and prac-
tically eXOnerated the railway company.
The writer points out that it is physically
impossible for the rear brakeman on
train to perform all the duties of the posi-
ton in the limited time generally accorded
him with safety to himself and the patrons
of the road. One man can only perform
one mans work, and yet it is expected in
the case of brakemen that one man shall do
the work of several. Specifically, the critic
shows that an extra man should be en-
pl0yed as ilagman, and should be con-
stantly at his station. when it is known
that passenger train is following freight.
Such provision would have given
WELLS time enough to attend to his
other duties and to have closed the fatal
open switch. There is no economy in fail
ing to provide sufficient men to work trains
thoroughly and safely. One accident. as in
the case of the Rio calamity, will wipe out the
result of years of parSimOniOuS saving and
yet the companies continue to do it. Only an
enlightened public sentiment expressing
come the evil, and to this question the next
Minnesota legislature can with advantage
address itself.
