WICHITA HATH CHARMS

Messrs. Smith and McNair, two enterprIs-
ing young men from Minneapolis, Mimi,
have purchased twenty acres of choice land
adjoining the city on the east, which VIII
prove an excellent Investment. This prop
erty is particularly well adapted for resi-
dences and will, no doubt, soon beput upon
the market in lots to suit purchasers. These
gentlemen are also interesting themselves in
the development Of Colwich, the new town
on the Eagle line, which is making such
rapid strides forward.
When a city can show attractions and adj
ysntsges sufficient TO draw capitalists and
investors from place Boosting Of such a
wonderful growth and rapid development as
Minneapolis has had in the past year, there
must he something solid to back it. Thus
they come, from north and south and east
and west, and locate in the hub.

BOHEMIAN OATS.

The four men who undertook 10 work this
part of the state on the Bohemian oats racket
have since concluded that il is not fit place
for their operations, and have left sunny
Kansas to see what they can do for Iowa.
The scheme Is TO sell common oats for
$40 per bushel for seed, agreeing TO buy
all the oats raised from them at $50
per bushel, taking their note in pay
ment for the seed. Then Us soon as a good
number OF sales are made, the notes are dis
counted at some bank and they leave town.
While they had no difficulty in finding
market for the seed oats in this place and
getting good notes in payment, the banks
refused TO discount them, because they
found it more profitable to loan their
money on interest than TO go into the note
shaving business. This made things to look
very dark-blue for the Bohemians, and
caused them TO seek some place where
money is not in so great demand.

As for the ''see-once,'' We say emphatic
ally that the ''interyiew" went in as an ad-
vertisement under its proper head. So far as
anybody being sold, there is not any doubt
that nine persons in every ten went there
expecting to be entertained by an expert.
and not by genuine manipulations of spirits
from the other world. We simply an
nounced that Hume didn't beat the EAGLE
out of cent. The world is full of such
humbugs and if our worthy an philosophic
brother attended that show at all he was not
"sold" or defrauded-he has too much sense
to have expected any different from what
was proven.

man prophesied mild winter-good enough

The capitalists and real estate men have
taken advantage of the storm to talk over
plans and cOncoct new schemes for the de-
yelopment of the suburban districts. Even
thirty-six hour snow storm and block
ade on all the railroads can't check their
faith in sunny Kansas.
The residents on East Douglas avenue
complain very much of the condition in
which the sidewalks are allowed to remain
after snow. Drifts from two to four feet
deep are allowed to remain until melted
away, compelling a practical abandoning Of
the pavement, which is especially disagree
able after it commences to thaw.

The gentlemen, the capitalists to whom
the EAGLE referred the other morning as
coming to Wichita for the purpose of de-
terInining whether Wichita was yet of i'm
portance enough as wholesaling point to
warrant an enterprise of grease manufac-
turing nature, called sgsin yesterday to an
nounce that the statistics and information
which had been furnished them by our
dealers were more than satisfactory, and
that they had contracted with one of our
prominent property holders to erect the
three necessary buildings Immediately, and
that early this spring, or as soon Is the
buildings could be MADE ready, the enter
prise would be opened out with all the cap
ital which the trade would warrant. These
gentlemen desired that nothing should be
said in the EAGLE touching the nature of
the investment until they would complete
their arrangements east and come upon the
ground in person; but they ask no fran
chises, bonuses or anything Of the kind.
In few days the EAGLE will be enabled to
lay this new addition to our greatness as
commercial city fully before our readers.

Mr. H. II. Richards, of the wholesale gro
Gerry company, speaking to a reporter yes
terday Of the advantages of the telephone
over the telegraph in mercantile business,
gave some practical suggestions TO people
talking at distance. The other day Gus
toner from Caldwell called him up to give
an order but was unable 10 make it intelli-
gible. The operator in the central office
seeing the difficulty, offered to act as inter
prefer, and the Caldwell man, supposing
himself to be talking with the central office,
at once modulated his voice so that Mr..
Richards was able TO talk to him with per-
feet ease. Business men and others should
remember that the same volume and quality
Of voice that is used for a short distance is
equally good for q long distance. A low
tone, with the words separate and distinct, is
all that is necessary. Not long ago a
young man attempted to use the company's
telephone on business and yelled at the tel
ephone as if he was calling to parties quar-
ter of mile away. Speaking of early tele-
phones Mr.. Richards gave graphic account
which it is not necessary to publish, of
conversation in 1878 over the first telephone
line in Wichita, between r. p. Murdoch and

The StirIinGshire.

The British ship Stirlingshire came
into port yesterday morning and an
chored in the stream. The Portuguese
immigrants were all safely landed at the
immigration Depot before ) O'Clock in
the afternoon. Before they left the ship
the Hon. a. S. Cleghorn, Inspector Gen
eral of immigration, went on board and
made an inspection. He found the YES
sci most admirably adapted for emigra-
ton purposes and very clean. The
Portuguese on board were a fine looking
body of people. The Scotch crofters,
eight in number, spoke in high terms OF
the treatment of the immigrants by
the Captain and officers of the ship.
Five of these Scotchmen will go to His
Excellency Mr.. Gibson's stock ranch on
Lar"i, and three to the Puuloa sheep and
stock ranch, Waimea, Hawaii.
Captain Alexander was ashore yester-
sage. First four day out from Liverpool
had light east winds, thence to Madeira
southwest winds. After leaving the lat
ter place had calms for two days, then
fine weather to Cape Horn. Was off the
Cape two weeks. From thence to Homo
lulu fine weather and trade winds. The
Stirlingshire has previously made five
trips from Liverpool to Australia with
emigrants under command of Captain
Alexander.
