For some years Mr.. j. L. Hanney, of
jacksonville, HIS. has been travelling man
and visited Wichita every month regularly
He had a chance to see the development Of
the city, and finally became SO favorably inn
pressed that he concluded to locate here.
About three months ago he decided to set up
in the laundry business here. He secured his
location in quiet way on Wichita street,
between First and Second streets, and inn
meliately ordered machinery. A month
later he commenced the erection OF suitable
frame building, and by the time the machin-
cry sent for had arrived, was prepared to re-
ceive it, The bill for the same was some
thing over $1,000, and he expects to add
other as the trade demands 1t.
At present he has on hand a washer, collar
and cuff shaper and shirt machine collar
and cuff starching machine and extractor.
The drying machine contains near seven
hundred feet of pipe Everything is run by
a twelve-horse power engine.
All the machinery was made and put
together in Chicago and is in every respect
represented as first-class. Everything will be
ready for business by the last of this week.

Yesterday being the anniversary OF the
Bank OF Wichita the officers Of that institu-
ton made general sizing-up OF its business
for the year. Everything was found in ship
shape. ard the showing entirely satisfactory
10 the stockholders. Mr. W. 7. Robinson,
the president OF the bank, rendered his resig-
nation OF that position. and Mr. j. G. Fish,
of Decatur, H., one Of the stock ckhoiders OF
the bank, was selected Is Mr. Robiuson's sue
cessor. Mr. Robinson's withdrawal We un-
derstand, was occasioIea by the fact Of his
unavoidable absence from the city great
part of the time, and the growing business
of the bank making it necessary to have an
active man upon the ground all tie time.
There were no other changes III the manage
ment OF The bank.

Peti Ions are being circulated praying the
walks TO sixteen feet. Every property owner
is interested in having it done. The avenue
is plenty wide TO allow the change aud the
sidewalks should be at least sixteen feet, and
still better if twenty feet wide Then before
macadamizing and the laying of new curbing
is begun widen the sidewalks to sixteen feet
from the bridge to the Santa Fe railroad.
