Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1884-1886, 1886-03-06
THE RAMBLER.

Yesterday was very fine day, and strange |
as it may seem everybody appeared to
know If, therefore it is hardly necessary to
speak of it here, but there is degree of pos |
itiveness in my knowledge of the fact that |
impelis me to say so.
On my way from my rnral palace to
breakfast at the Manhattan, | met n man
near the fremont who said. "Look here. 1t
was published il the EAGLE this morning
that the sale of reserved seats for Joe En-
m cts performance would begin at O'Clock,
and at that hour you never saw longer
line at the postofiice than there was at that
ticket Office. guess the seats are all taken
already" In front of the Manhattan l met
another man who said, ''The scalpers have
bought up all the tickets, and are asking 81
for them. You just ought tg tell the people
through the EAGLE not to buy from any
scalper. 1t is a perfect outrage"
After breakfast l met Geo. l.. Rouse, who
said, "Did you notice the dispatches from
New York in the mornings EAGLE. l tell
you sir the war of the rebellion WAS great,
but we may live to see a.
worse war to establish an equitable
adjustment of the irrepressible conflict be
tween labor and capital. Until just basis
is reached in the premises there will be
trouble. We see if breaking out daily in
all parts of the world know there viii
always be demagogucs who will be asking
unreasonable things, but when society is ar
ranged on just principles it is hard TO move
it. All these things attain their level. An
other thing / want TO tell you, the Chinese
must go. Formerly, when they were at
tackled a. one point on the Pacific coast they
went to another. but now they are attacked
all along the line and there is nothing left
for them TO DO but leave the country. 1t
may seem hard, cruel and unjust, but society
will regulate itself In the case Of the
Indian, too, there will soon be a change"
Ches Firebaugh: "Yes, we will soon be
ready TO begin on our new building. Terry
& Dumont have the plans almost ready and
We have material engaged. We will build
handsome building with bay windows in
front"
l met L. c. Wood who is continually in
venting something, and he showed me
harness buckle and snap that he says will
cause revolution in these things.
At the Santa Fe dedot met Joe Rossn,
and G. T. Altea, of Hutchinson, who told
me that graders are at work all along the
line from Hutchinson TO Kinsley. They said
tha. people up their way got an idea that
the Wichita and Colorado was sold TO the
Santa Fe and would go no further. told
them they ought to know better than that
because the Missouri Pacific is building it
and it amt likely they will sell to the Santa
Fe
met X. s. Gates, of the Davidson Loan
company. who said he just came in from the |
east part of the state and that it Is very dull |
there comparatively.
4. &. Walden. manager of the American |
District Telegraph company, took me in to
see the new office of the company. which is |
next 10 the Fort Scott ticket office on Main |
street. They have very nice Office and |
have telephone, which they will use at
present. Any one having telephone csn
call one of their messenger boys Four
boys in the regular uniform of the company
were in the Office. and they look toney. They /
are putting up their wires.
Councillor Stone, who has just broke
ground for the foundation of a
brick business house on Main street,
jus; north of the Eagle Cornice works told
me he must have buildings enough to bring
him rent enough 10 live on. This building
is to be a5xso and two stories high. He says
if Hodson WAS ready to build on the mex,
lot. as he intends to Go this season. he would /
build three stories high. His building is
already leased TO Rock * Osborn. butchers
/ found the Womsn's Relief Corps in
council in front Of the posiofHoe. bu, when
they saw me coming, one of them, who
seemed to be the outside guard. gave notice
and they all issued broad smile and fed.
l think they were holding council of war.
DR.. John A. Brady, of Louisville, Ky,
presided of the Texas. Kansas snd Nebraska
Land company. of Louisville. and president
Of the Lera6o town company, who has been
q guest 8: the Manhattan two days, showed
me some new brick he Is taking 10 81. Louis
