1t appears thst some little excitement has
been caused of late BY repeated demonstra-
lions sgainst the Chinese residents of this
city. One day in the early part of last week
i crowd of men surrounded Charley Sing.
one OF the representatives of his race, and
hit him several blows. Charley Sing fought
back and made Il demonstration of fight and
the affair ended. Now the fact is that Char
ley Sing has a Chinese wrestler expressly hir-
ed to do his bouncing. and is not altogether
combatent unless forced into ex,remities
Last Wednesday number OF men, said
to be committee, went to the Main street
Chinese laundry and gave the inmates notice
to leave Wichita and to close up business.
This notice stirred up the establishment and
they were not Quoted until they had the as
surance of some of the officers of the CITY
and county, to whom they applied, that they
would be protected.
Then Thursday night some parties threw
bricks into their wash house, and again
caused fear of violence among them. The
Sasi6ShS TIC uoSt
not said anything about the affair, and the
officers who have clue to the perpetrators
Of the outrage, hsve made no talk about it,
as they wish TO see if there is any intention
among certain number of men to
continue the attack, at which time they will
be ready to squelch it in the bud.
OF course these Chinese people are under
the protection of the law as we'll as any
other class Of people. They are not citizens
of the United States, and cannot be natural
lied as such, the constitution of the United
States excluding any foreign born subject
other than white from beiEg naturalized.
Children of Chinese parentsge are citizens
when they become of age, with the same
rights. An emigration to this state of any
considerable number of Chinese would be
dcplored, but the few that do come here
ought to be treated humanely and allowed
to enjoy the rights of any other alians who
may sojourn in this country. To that end
it behooves the authorities to see that no
outrages be perpetrated on them, and that
while they observe the law they may pursue
their occupations in peace.

DIGHTON CITY.
A Wichita Corporation and
Wichita Capital In Lane
County.
A New City With Enterprise and Money
Behind 1t.

The charter for town company was filed
in December, having as q board Of directors.
the following well-known citizens of Wich-
ia: w. B. Smith, J. o. Davidson, II. I'M
boden, W. E. Stanley, VIM. Barnard, Frank
c. Wier and Ii. L. Hill. On receipt of the
charter the company organized with the fol
lowing officers: w. b. Smith, president; II.
Imboden, vice-president, and ". f. Stan
icy, treasurer. The company il known as
the Dichton City Town company and it is
intended to boom the new city in Lane
county, which was laid out there q few
months ago. TIE company own tracts OF
valuable land in thst county, on which the
hou,ishing and growing new city is spring
ing up. 1t has nearly 100 houses already
and the building boom there will soon take
new impetus from the completed organi-
cation Of the company. A branch of the
A., T. g. S. F. and main line Of tine Wichita
& Colorado will form 5 junction there and
bids fair to make the plant Of our enterpris-
ing citizens big bonanza and add feather
To the chieitain cap Of the Big Injun
If the Nile-Wichits. In an interview with
one of the company, reporter learned that
the company mean business and intend to
make this new city q success, and to that
purpose will move at an early date towards
building substantial improvements. Frank
c. Wier in connection with others will build
q large hotel which will be run on the Euro
pean plan. A telephone connection VIII be
in operation from that place TO Garden City
and Waukeena. A large lumber yard that
has been exhausted by the large bull ing cp-
erations of the last month will be restocked
and the great influx of emigrants will be ac-
cemmcdated with means of making substan-
tial Improvements. A new bank will be
added to the one now there, and number
OF other new enterprises now talked of will
be consumsted.
The city is situated near the center of the
county in one of the very best locations, and
is surrounded By as fine section Of produc-
tive rolling agricultural lands as can be
found in the state. Its location is admitted
to be superior in all respects in natural adj
vantages to any Of its rivals, if it
has any, which is doubtful. A
rich and fertile soil, good water
at easy depth and with rain fall that is
equal to any Kansas county are some of its
msny favors; broad and beautiful, gently
rolling prairies on which the wild grasses
grow luxurantly, and from whi,h grains,
fruits and vegetables can be raised in un-
equaled quantities will not fail to build up a
county city of q few thousand in a short
time. Lane county Is already attracting the
attention Of the home-seeker, and as the
stages roll into its new streets unloading its
passengers, there is q degree of satisfaction
ut once observed everywhere. The life and
hustle of new town has lis attractions 10
live western men who can appreciate the
results. In extending Wichita enterprise
and push, its commercial relations and its
capital all are interested. May she ever
