A GRAVE SUBJECT.

This is the time of the year when our
up and brushing up for the summers trade.
and among those noticed by representa-
tive of this paper making active prepara-
lions are Kimmerle & Adams, the WELL
known marble and monument manufacture
ers, at pa North Main street. Marble men
in smaller towns find it inexpedient or i'm
possible to keep full line of material on
hand and this creates demand for a firm in
a city where considerable amount of job
bling is dons, where small dealers can Sc
cure such supplies on ,hort notice. Kim
merle & Adams are getting in shape TO meet
these requirements to a considerable extent
and they have on hand very fine stock.
Italian and American marble nonume rts,
tombs and memorials, are manufactured at
these works, while every variety of Scotch
and New England granite is carried in stock.
They manufacture of Inurble mautcls, urns,
vases. figures, and a variety of other things
in that line il extensively carried on BY this
firm, and they are prepared to supply the
entire southwest. Tho pr0prictors attend to
all matters promptly and efficiently. and
they buy for spot cash, so that they can
compete with any western houss in prices.
We congratulate them on the high renuta-
ton they have achieved, and the city of
Wichita on having 80 complete An establish
me,.t deyoted 10 this line of artistic work.

ELECTRIC LIGHT VS.. ELECTRIC LIGHT

| To the Editor Of the Eagle.
In view Of the tact that the Wichita
Beacon, in one of lis articles on the subject
of electric light, has endeavored to create
the false impression that ''simply held the
electric light franchise to prevent others
from getting it. etc." deem it only in JUS
tice 10 myself that / correct this false i'm
preston and feeling that it has attempted 10
create against Inc.
During the year 1885 | spent considerable
time in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and
elsewhere examining the various cleo
tric light systems, in order to determine the
relative cost of eieStric light in comparison
with that Of gas, and also to determine as
far as could the best system of electric
light in regard to the one volume power and
steadiness of the light. And from all the
information / was able to gather l found
wherever the Thompson i Houston light
was in operation it seemed to give universal
satisfaction. While other systems of light
could be purchased cheaper, they did not
give the general satisfaction to their patrons

one more word in regard to gas During
the first year of our gas light in the city We
charged them $3.50 per thousand. As soon
as the consumption increased sufficient 10

lowered the price to $500; again as soon

day of the month. keeping in advance of all
companies in reduction of prices, taking into
account the cos, of coal and limited number
Of consumers, gave the people of Wichita

I met Judge Hill last evening, and he told
me he would get in his electric light very
soon, and that be would not bind any of hil
patrons to take the light for any certain
length of time, but would allow every one to
give it fair trial, and if not satisfactory be
would take it out. This Thompson-Hou
ton light was tested here, and gave perfect
satisfaction. Mr.. Gehring of the cracker
factory said there were two other electric
lights tried in Ottawa, III. 81 think" hs
sid, 'tho Edison and the Brush lights, and
that the Thompson-Houston light ran then

THE WICHITA CREAMERY
New Company, New Machinery and New
Process.

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Hoffman, of Lancaster, Penn,
father Of our fellow townsmen, E. L. and E.
T., called in company with the former yes
terday morning. We were pleased to learn
that the brothers had secured the Wichita
creamery, together with some 500 tons of
ice, and that factory will be started up at an
early day. The old machinery will be taken
out and replaced by new and improved pro-
cesses, the machinery for which was pur-
chased in New York, and is now enroute.
The processes differ entirely from the old,
the cream being extracted from the sweet
milk by centrifugal force. They have
shipped number Of fine mich COWS from
Pennsylvania, and rs soon as the machinery
csn be placed, gilt-edged butter will sgain
be found upon the market. Mr.. E. l..
Hoffman says buttermilk and cheap sweet
milk will again be distributed daily about
the city. The creamery building, which
stands on the bank Of the Little river, near
the water works, are probable among the
mos: extensive and complete to be found in
the state, and We have no doubt Of the sue
cess Of tie enterprise.
