THE RAMBLER.

THE RAMBLER.
Yesterday was remarkably dull for
Wichita Saturday, though business among
the retail men was fairly good Iobserve q
great falling off in grain by wagon on the
market since last year, which ia due no
doubt IS much to to the extension OF tie
Wichita g. Colorado railroad into territory
from which the produce Of the farm was
hauled to this market, as to the short crop
of wheat last year. The hauling to this
market by team, except hay and vegetables
is very light and may be expected to con-
tinue 60 for the above reason. News was
very thin. l rambled for news, but it some
how kept out of my way. 1 exercised
nv knowledge box in desperate effort
to twist something supposed to be on
tap there, around something that I might
zee or hear on the street, so as to make an
item, but it wouldn't twist A man at the
county building told me he saw an item
down Main street, and started of to sur
round if, but failed utterly. There was no
news.
l heard that the D., n. & A. had at las.
adjusted the Kingmsn trouble satisfactorily
snd that work will begin on that road Of
once. This will please the Kingman people
who were beginning to feel q little pale over
the railroad situation. l was talking with
some Kingman folks at the Manhattan yes.
terdsy who iutimated that their folks are
alive to the situation. They apprehsnd q
flank movement by the Santa Fe and are in
a condition to hold on. every inducement to
any other line that might propose to come
their way.
Respecting new depot and other i'm
provements by the Santa Fe in this
city, 1 heard indirectly yesterday
that Mr.. Goddard and Mr.. Nickerson looked
over the ground Friday evening, after com.
ing in from Kingman, and that Mr.. God.
dard appeared favorable to the proposition
and that ON his return to Topeka the matter
would be considered by Mr.. Smith. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Smith will see the urgen,
necessity of doing something before the peo-
pie of Wichita inaugurate strike.
1 had a long talk with Mr. c. W. Ora
ham, who has just returned from Rome, n.
Y, where he was treated for cancer of the
lip. He feels that the whole trouble is re-
moved. A large chunk of the lower lip was
cut off and he brought it back with him it q
little bottle. Mr.. Graham gave me some
pointers respecting cancers that he
learned from the doctors of that
well known medical institute or cancer
hospital, that are not very complimentary
to the bird known AS the hog. de sayi
there are on An average five applicants PEI
day there for cancer treatment. They have
upwards Of $1,000 names of patients treated
for this terrible affection on their books and
in more than 1900 cases they have been
successful. This is not the part of the story
that reflects on the good name OF the hog
buthere it comes: In their whole expert
ence with the disease the doctors say they
have not had single Jew patient, and they
are Of the opinion that should the American
people discontinue the use Of pork in every
form there would be no cancers. They will
not guarantee permanent cure 10 any one
who shall continue to browse on the flesh OF
that unclean animal. This accords with my
own views on the hog question
l observed the devilish habits of these
birds about the time Moses and myself held
a political caucus for the purpose of flank.

dwelling houses of devils then. although
that was long anterior 10 the Tina when

were drowned. What pity it is that TIE
entire hog product If thst age we're not in
that batch After Moses and myself and
Aaron and the boys had crosed the scarlet

touching the hog question AID We instituted
civil service reform restraining the use o.
hog among the children of Israel and while
we were sasheying through the deser
and clear up to the present day not one OF
the boys has bad cancer. This was long
prior to the discussion of the tariff or the
silver dollar, and the result proves conclu
sively that the hog is q bad job. Mr.. Ora
ham told me that the doctor agreed to keep
HIM clear of cancer in future, free of charge
provided be refraiaed from the use Of pork
Otherwise no. This is 9 matter for seriou:
consideration.
had a long talk with Frank William:
about the south, and he drew gloomy pic
ture Of the deplorabie state of trade and
commerce in that country, especially among
the sugar planters of Louisiana and the
merchants of New Orleans. He SAYS these
people realize less from their in
vestments than those Of any section
he ever saw. Almost every one who
invested in sugar retineres has
lost their whole investment and
are in debt more than the property will
bring to-day. There is no boom and nc
life, and visitors there are merely sight
seers. He went into the largest real estate
Office in New Orleans, which is under the
St. Charles hotel. He was shown some fine
property in the very heart of the city, and
be asked wha; il would sell for.
We'll, said the sgent, 81 can tell you
what it cost. Here is place on which is a
fine mansion and it cost $4,000. will sell
it under the hammer tomorrow for what it
will bring" He saw n sugar refinery on
which the buildings and machinery cost
500, 900, sell for $4,000. Mr.. Williams says
Kansas is good enough for him. One could
buy GOO sores Of good, Louisiana bottom,
land with sugar house and regular vii
lage of houses for help at abou; the price
