RAILROAD NEWS.

Before long railroad builing will be rum
ming full blast. Mr.. Mccoy, who was once
chief engineer of the Southern Kansas rail-
road, and our d. p. Alexander, have q con-
tract for grading and bridging forty-nine
miles Of road for the Santa Fe from Belle
PLANE west, whatever that means. This is
some sort of slick move on the part of the
Ssnta Fe, and what it means but few know.
There was some talk lately to the effect that
the Santa Fe would build from Mulvane to
Kingman, and they have surveyed all that
country, but this reporter interviewed Super
intendent Nickerson on that project and he
claimed to know nothing about it. Messrs.
Mccoy and Alexander fitted up thirty fine
large mule teams here yesterday with new
harness, etc, at McComb Bros harness
store
Their bill for these equipments amounts
to nearly $1,000. There were thirty sets OF
fine heavy double harness at $50 per set, and
McComb Bros. had to figure with Kansas
City on them, but of course Wichita came
on: ahead, as she always does. McComb
Bros. have supplied raidroad men in New
Mexico and Colorado with harness, and I'M
derstand the business thoroughly. A few
days ago they sold bill nearly as large as
this one to F. a. Butler, who has contract
on the Santa Fe or the Southern Kansas
from New Kiowa down into the territory.
Thus railroad building begins early in
southern Kansas, and ere the first of May
dirt will fly in many parts of the state.

have read your articles and have looked
to see if you would not expose the grand ex-
hibt of gall of the milk vendcrs-you must
be bachelor or you would. They will
drive in front of your house. 81. in their
wagons and ring their bell-the great lazy
things-and no matter whether We have a
girl or not, or what we are busy about, or
how We may be dressed, or how deep the
mud or wet tine weather, the lazy milk man
must receive all attention upon the street,
instead of bringing his milk to the door, as
is done in all other cities. II may be an I'M
provement on going out to the barn and
milking your own COW and then bringing it
in, but that is not what We pay our money
for, nor do We get the same quality of milk,
which might be offered as an Offset. pro-
pose that we housekeepers refuse to take
milk of any man who will not deliver his
milk at the door. HoUsEKEEPER.

WHAT pEoPLs HAVE TO SAY.

Not single day passes that we dom;
hear some encouraging, or rather fattering
thing about our city and its strides onward.
A friend writing to George Blsckwelder
from Portland, Oregon, Says be noticed by
our papers that this city is booming, as evil
denced by the long daily list Of real estate
transfers. He regre,.ully adds tina, more
money changes hands in this city each dsy.
according 10 the papers, than does in bis
town in q week, and of course Portland is a
much larger town than Wichita, bu, a, that
rate i, will not long remain SO. No better
criterion of the prosperity of city can be
had than its real estate transactions. snd as
ours are al taken from the records taey are
undoubtedly correct

FIRE EXPENSES TOO GREAT.

The several fires which have happened
within the past week and the heavy expenses
occurring therefrom, caused quite an ami
mated discussion in the council meeting
last Wednesday night, and gave rise to q
number of theories by which the present
protection might be bettered and made
cheaper. A bill of $500 for services at the
past weeks fires was presented at that meet
ing, and one company not heard from. This
seems a little exorbitant
A number oil young men interested in
property on Douglas avenue and Main
street have volunteered to organize q fire
company among themselves which would
turn out promptly to all fires, and whose
services would cost the city nothing, il the
council will provide them with hose cart
and The necessary apparatus. Together with
one well organized, small but efficient, paid
company, with horses for the hose carts,
which could respond to an alarm at mo-
ment's notice, would it not furnish sufficient
protection to that part of the city on this
eibC Va tilc iifci dHd NC q &i ChS oC8i CuCoP>
er. At least this was the prevailing opinion
of the councilmen present.
Another suggestion brought up while on
this subject was for the providing of q set of
signals by which the companies in the fifth
ward might be brought over if needed. In
nine cases out of ten the department from
the west side is not needed at the fires on
this side. and following the usual rule they
come over every time the alarm is sounded,
and from the distance they have TO travel, if
the fire is small one, generally arrive in
time to see the other companies winding up
the hose. Though getting on the ground
after the work is all done, the bill for each
member for two or three dollars, as the case
may be, is presented at the next meeting Of
the council, and money is paid out and value
not received, while if a certain signal we're
devised by which the west enders might know
if their services were needed this unneces-
sary expense to the city might be ayerted.

CANE PRESENTATION.

The members of Wichita Lodge No. 90,

with magnificent gold-headed cane last
night at Odd Fellows hall. The event was
one of more than ordinary pleasure to all

that prompted it, together with the senti-
ments expressed by his brethren in the pre-
sentation address, which was delivered by
Hon. John B. Carey, that his feelings COM
pletely overcame him and his emotions

CASE OF JEALOUSY.

To the Editor of the Globe Democra.
KINGMAN, Kan, March 6.-We most en-
phatically protest against heading dispatches
from Kingrnan ''via Wichita" 1t gives the
impression that Kingmsn is little out-of-
the-way place, with no railroad or telegraph
lines-whi!e, in fact, we are already the
terminus of one road, with grading for two
others. Wichita likes to advertise herself
too well. She is jealous of Kingmsn, as it
is proving too much of rival for her.
