TABLE TALK,

A number of guests at supper at the Man
hatten were discussing the future of various
towns and cities. All were agreed that
Wichita will be the great city of Kansas but
there was diversity of opinion as to its
prospective greatness, Only two Wichita
men were engaged in the conversation.
One of the strangers thought that 100000
would be the limit of Wichita's growth, but
another said that he remembered when
Kansas City's limit was fixed at 10000 and
that, he said, was not very many years ago
either. Another said that if we get the
three proposed new railroads and good
crops for few years, this city will boom
right along without any drawback until she
foots up 100, 900 inhabitants and that there
is no telling what size she may attain.
Well 100000 will do very we'll for a few
years and then We can get up some new
scheme that will boom her up another
100000. That will be enough for comfort.
What a daisy she will be with her thirty or
forty railroads, with her general offices and
machine shops, with her immense stock
yards. elevated railroads and sub-terra tele-
graph, telephone and electric light wires,
her host of colleges and universities; her
churches and grand public buildings, both
state and federal; her great corps of news
papers and periodicals and hundreds OF
other accessories too many to enumerate.
Let her go.

POCKET BOOKS FOUND.

Mr.. Charles Rossler brought two leather
wallets to this Office las. evening well
stuffed with papers, but no money, save q
silver half-dime, rolled up in a rag, which
was in one.
The papers indicate that one Of the pocket
books belongs TO Rev. n. L. Harmon and
the other to A. B. Green.
Mr.. Rossler, who is q wholesale paper and
carpet dealer on Main street, says he found
the wallets nesr the alley fence back of his
place, when he wen. out last evening to feed
his chickens.
Mr. Harmon reports that his wallet con-
tanned shout S17, but this the thief or thieves
evidently took a fancy to. Whether the
other wallet contained any money or not, il
not known at this shop.
The pocket books await the owners at this
Office, and there are no charges to pay.
A certain detective told the writer yester-
day that there are number of regular jour.
peyman thieyes in the city at present, and
he gave the reporter many pointers as to
how they can be detected, also how difficult
it is to catch them so as to fasten the gull
upon them, or as he expressed it, 'to &c:
them dead to rights
The best way is to notify all who cant
give good account of themselves, to skip
the town.

POLICE COURT.

John Henry, drunk-no funds.
Sam Arnold, fast driving, s. and costs.
was the grist q. the police court yesterday.
Judge Glenn said tha. he will continue to
tack the fine on heavier and heavier on the
rapid transit fellows uGtil he breaks that
racket up. There viii bs n, favors shown
on account of politics, race. creed or pre-
vious condition 81 servi:ude. Even if old
Cleve and his Folsom should come here and
monkey with the Statutes in such cases
made and provided, he would be forced to
go down deep into his jeans Tor Il V and the
expenses of the court, or else tackle the
stone pile. None but reporters, whose bust
ness it is to rua down an lem, no m .:ter il
1t is Srasped in tae angry mouth Of scy-
clone, has any right To bust this law.
The total footings of Judge Glenn's books
for the past month arc Sl,l6S.50, which is
pretty good.

A NEW BAPTIST CHURCH.

We incidently learn that one of Wichita's
heaviest capitalists, DR.. H. o. Burleigh, is
making arrangements to build church in
the northern suberbs of the city, on what
streets was not definitely learned, but on
one of his north additions. The doctor is
not only very wealty but prominent Bap-
fist and could build dozen respectable
sized churches without missing the money.
He and the pastor of the First Baptist, Rev.
w. F. Harper. have been quito busy for
several days and no doubt the preliu,inaries
have all been arranged. We expect to see
something neat and attractive, something
worthy Of DR.. Burleigh's taste and gener-
osity.

A NEW FACTORY.

A new carriage factory is numbered
among the late arrivals in the city. The
reporter at present is hot granted the privi-
lege of giving the proprietors name to print,
but suffice 1t to say he is an old resident of
Wichita, and the appearance of the new en-
terprise is an assured fact.
1t is proposed to have the establishment
in full blast in few months.
The factory will be located on Forth Main
street and will open up with thirty or forty
hands. A brick building will be built of
sufficient dimensions to accommodate this
working force.

A FINE RESIDENCE.

An EAGLE reporter called at the office o!
Terry & Dumont yesterday and WAS shown
drawings for the new residence of Mr.. T. f.
Root. Judging from the architectural work
it will be, when completed, one of the most
handsome residences in the city. 1t will be
built on North Topeka avenue, facing the
east, with a thirty-eight foot front and is
sixty-.wo feet deep.
1t will be frame with eleven rooms and
will cost something over 5000. The frs.
story contains four sets Of sliding doors and
the plan of the entire building is one of the
most desirable in the city.
Work was commenced on the foundation
a few days since and it is proposed to COM
plete the entire building in a few months.

TAKES AFTER HIS FATHER.

From copy of the Louisville Daily
Post, lying before US, We note that our
young fellow townsmaD, w. X. Carlisle. has
won great suit, involving a trust estate
valued at many hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Mr.. Carlisle has been absent twice
this spring in Kentucky on account of this
suit and is now in Louisville. 1t is charged
that one set of the heirs had overdrawn
their share between one and two hundred
thousand dollars. Mr.. Carlisle, as our peo-
pie know, is the Oldest son Of the Speaker
ofthe National House Of Representatives
and really very young man, and his sue
cess in suit which the papers say is the
largest pending in the state of Kentucky,
make the laurels thus won noteworthy, and
SO the EAGLE congrstulstes him.
