Mr. Sealey, of Kansas City, who came to |
Wichita to attend the Y. NJ. G. A. confer |
ence, as delegate from the association of |
his CITY, was SO carried away with this

The bicyclists of the city are talking
about the propriety of connecting them
selves with the league of American wheel |
men. At present only one of the wheel

gaining ground. The boys say the advant-
ages derived from belonging makes it invit-
ing TO say the least.

than the assertion that the EAGLE had
claimed that Wichita was the first point in
Kansas that the corporations determined
upon running to-" and thst they will build
without bonds. The circular is very thin, |
and will not influence any man who thinks |
for himself.

talked of street reform and improvement in

his old wood awning drop and replacing the

phrase often heard from passers-by. "Let
the good work go on before someone gets
killed." was the sentence that usually fol-
lowed. Ii fellow had to wait for his glass
of soda water he would amuse himself by
