ANOTHER WHOLESALE HOUSE.

Some days ago gentleman Of this city
received letter from one Of the largest
hardware firms west of the Alleghanies
stating that the company had decided to es-
tablish a wholesale house at this city. They
had come to the conclusion that Wichita
was necessarily the distributing point for
the great southwest, and having arrived at
that conclusion they thought that the earlier
they got here The better their their advan-
tage to control a large amount Of the trade
in this section. The letter stated that the
company was DESTROYS of getting
| here as soon as possible and
for a building. The wanted a very large
building aud would like to occupy the first
and second floors.
The letter was shown 30 couple Of bust
ness men in the city who decided that they
could furnish the building desired. They
told the gentleman to write the company to
send a man with plans and specifications of
the building desired and if a contract could
be agreed upon the thing was "a GO These
gentlemen say that they will put up the
highest and best building in the city. They
will locate it on Douglas avenue. 1t will
have front of fifty feet, one hundred and
twenty-five feet deep and six stories high.
They claim they viii make it six stories and
perhaps seven.

ROMEO AND JULIET.
Miss Adelaide Moore in the Role OF the Lovely
Capulet.

The audience which congregated last even
ing at the opera house to witness the produc-
ton of this peerless love tragedy, which Is
among the strongest and best OF the works OF
the immortal Shakespeare, was composed
almost exclusively of the best people OF the
city, the gallery being occupied as well as
the parquette by ladies and gentlemen, while
the ubiquitous small boy aud the peanut
fiend failed to show up. The crowd was quite
large and filed the house with the exception
of several of the front rows of seats. When
the curtain went up little murmur of ex-
pectancy agitated the people, and when
Miss Moore first appeared she presented
vision so fair that a little involuntary burst
of applause greeted her She is a blonde of
the most pronounced type, and Is possessed
of regular features, and dazzling fair com
plexion Her arms and neck are plump and
rounded. her hands shapely aud her figure
perfect, all of which personal charms SO ma
terially aid an actress III the struggle for
fame and success Her acting throughout
was free from affection, and III the trying
scenes was characterized by degree of
strength which was not promised by her ex-
quis,te tenperness in the balcony scene

Oh. MY DEAR SIR.

To the gentleman who dropped us that
postal card announcing that he had bought
a lot in an addition away north of the Race
and who banterS us to write another
article against the addition craze, we can
only say that VIC hope we are off in our
Judgment We most truly and sincerely hope
that we are mistaken. We hope SO more
earnestly, if that were possible, than he who
had the grit to buy lots away north of the
Race but not enough grit 10 sign his name &c
his card,
The editor of the EAGLE had no personal
interest to conserve in taking the position he
did 1t was written i'll his best judgment
and for the best interests of the city as be
comprchcnded or understood them. He has
never changed his mind, and when he writes
for, talks for, and works for Wichita it is all
in good earnest, an earnest that involves the
greatest ambition of his life, and not for any
purpose of putting down" real estate men
or building them up If tie increase of bust
ness and increase of population should fail of
proving commensurate with our friends
craze what would become of his lots north
of TIE Race and a thousand acres more of
Just such lots. Wouldn't they fall back on a
limp market with a thud which would knock
the heart out of his mouth and the ducats
out OF his pocket so sickeningly quick that
he would soon forget his sneering card TO the
editor of the EAGLE. As FOR his lots, they
would be found IN the columns Of The delin-
Quent tax list, and they would not be lone
some foi. want of company.
For good many years has the EAGLE
claimed that Wichita would be the greatest
city in Kansas Not only that, but We have
steadfastly maintained that should Kansas
become as populous as the state of Illinois,
that then the greatness or magnitude Of
Wichita as a commercial center would be
hard to estimate or measure, for the more
populous the surrounding towns and the
more prosperous the surrounding country
then the greater Wichita's possibilities as a
city We have gone farther, and held to it,
that Wichita would be as great as Kansas
City-and ii hasn't been but a week or so
since a big paper in the northern part of the
state and another right here in this city
made fun of the idea-.aoud be rs great as
Kansas City fer exactly the same reasons
that account for Kansas City's greatness
We still hold to those ideas just as determin-
eddy as ever, just as confidently-save the
outside craze additions-as ever, nor sheer
ing cards, nor skeptical newspapers, nor envi-
Gus contemporaries can cloud our faith or
l>,,f Of
which work ever appears in or through the
EAGLE. Therefore ''let the CALLED jade vince
our withers are unwTuGg."

A Wichita, Kan, paper, in recent issue,
speaking of the growth of the town, men
| lions John S. Garrison as one of the leading
business men, and who has built this year a
large building at the cost of Sl4,O 900. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Garrison left this
county about eight years ago, poor young
man. He is the son of Jas. Garrison, who
for long time lived at Hallam, but recently
moved to the far west. The success of this
young man has given the westei n fever to Il
number of our citizens. 1t is said Wichita in
few years will rival the largest western
cities

Southworth was an original property owner

he must acknowledge that Wichita beats
