THE RAMBLER.

There Uss decided improvement in the
weather yesterday and it brought things out
considerably. It is astonishing what an eff
feet warm day has on business. The past
two or three days there was absolutely moth
ing stirring. Yesterday everything was
stirring, even candidates for the council.
The people of the esst end now would like
10 have their claim TO representation reccg-
nized. They have never been represented
and now that part of town is building up
so rapidly they should not be ignored. /
was little out of whack for rambling yes
terisy. was no. myself, although l have
no very Conclusive proof that 1 was any
body else. hear there is TO be q new Or
ganizstion dragged into existence called the
''Sona Of rest" with headquarters on the
railing in front of II. q. Lees Office and at
Kohn's corner. i would like TO join that
myself, for It's principles are noble and
grand. though / don't think there is any
money in it. A large number Of ladies.
who are the possessors Of babies, having
heard that there was large number of cases
of scarlet fever in town, became alarmed
and asked me TO investigate the matter. l
did so, ard can assure them it is false
alarm. asked DR.. Whillock about it, and
he said be heard there was one case, and
that was contracted in California, and that
no one else had come in contact with the
person affected, nor been exposed TO the dis
ease Therefore, ladies, 90 not be alarmed
for the babies.
Yesterday was busy one on the streets.
Teams hauling merchandise, brick, rock, fur
niture and agricultural implements were
seen every where and old buildings could be
seen sailing along the streets on rollers.
There are q great many teams hauling
stone to College Hill, where large number
of fine residences will be built this summer,
with fine cellars which the elevation Of that
locality admits Of rsmbled over towards
the river and found that Col. w. Z. Hutch
iscn is tearing down his old barn near the
Arkansas River Lumber company's office,
and learned that two-story brick bust
ness house, 100 feet deep, will be built in its
place immediately This caused me to
speculate on the property in that block be-
tween Water stree: and the bridge. l sm
Of the opinion that there is lot Of real
estate in that block, especially on the north
side, that might be put to more profitable
use than horse and COW lots, old dilapidated
barns and several ancient weather
beaten buildings that ought to be
moved t. the suburbs, or to some back
street This property is right in the heart
of the city, and there ought to be hand
some row of brick buildings there. The
time is ripe for selecting some other street
for horse and mule market, and for clean
ing that block up. The soakegs from these
mule and COW lots keeps the bitches con-
s.antly full of odoriferous water. If this
section we've cleaned up and good buildings
erected, there is no better business block in
the city.
The big cottonwoods must go. These
monsters have at last surpassed their useful
ness and beauty, and they are becoming the
victims Of the woodmsn all over the town.
The great row in front of Mr.. Mead's place,
on Central avenue, are being gil cut down.
Naples are now the popular shade.
wish to notify all my friends to be on
| the lookout for this is April l.
observe there is long stretch Of side
walk being built on Wichita street.
The indications now are that before cleo
ton day there will be enough candidates for
Office. hear also Of big plans beioha,ch-
ed out for next falls election and the out
look now Is that there viii be some fun on
tap then.
