he still entertained some hope that the

more from the lungs than from the heart

THE GREAT SALT EMPORIUM.
Wichita Will Whirl it for the Wester
World.

The immense field of salt deposits,
mines and works being opened and de-
veloped in Southwestern Kansas, field
which for breadth and for the vastness
of its pure salt formations is unrivaled
by any other in America, will demand
central or controlling market, such as
can not only furnish the necessary CAPT
tai for barreling and sacking the COM
modify, but with such far reaching in
fluence as shall enable it to place and
sell the salt in remote and strongly COM
petitive markets. In looking the cities
over that fall within this salt producing
district no place offers the facilities for
doing this with as great a profit to the
salt manufacturers as does Wichita. She
has no salt plant of her own to favor in
preference to others, and she is the only
place which all the present and coming
salt towns could reach directly and the
most cheaply. The corporation talked
of would build capaeious ele-
vator, with immense storage ca
pacity, furnished with the necessary
iIOIpCIH, bdAlSilHS NhulSS, SOOptI-
shops, etc, so that each train load of
salt could be unloaded by machinery at
the requisite elevation for the automatic
working of the barreling hoppers. One
great strong company thus equipped and
handling the salt IN bulk from the fac
tory on pro rate schedule. as freight in
transit, would save each individual plant
the other necessary expense of keeping
their own travelling men, making their
own markets in competitor with neigh
bors. Such corporation, either by
direct remittances for purchase or as the
commissioner of each plant, could COM
mand better, more steady and reliable
price than would probably be possible to
realize in comprtition among themselves
The plants of Lyons, Sterling, Kingman;
Anthony, Wellington, Clearwater and
others could utilize, and would utilize,
such market, with the least possible
outlay and TO the greatest possible
profit to themselves on their bulk salt
The field would be as far east as the
Mississippi river, north to Dakota, south
to the Gulf and westward for Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona and probably Old
Mexico.
Willis all this is but talk, as
vet, among few of our capitalists, its
feasibility is such and Wichita's way of
suddenly doing things; such, that any
bright morning we are liable TO make an
announcement of the contamination of
the scheme. However, should the talk
end for the present in talk only, I'M
deniably salt EXCHANGE or agency for
selling the product of the differnt plants
TO be shipped to The buyer direct from
the factory would pay the owners of the
plants referred TO.

protests against the exaggerated state

SOUTH KANSAS LAWYERS IN CON
VENTION.

The convention of south Kansas law
yers called for Fl. Scott, was very largely
attended and was great success so far
as the unanimity Of its demand for
division of the state into two federal
districts is concerned. 1t was, in fact,
unanimous. Many fine speeches were
made and banquet was had in the
evening. The Associated Press agent
failed to send out the resolutions, which
we print below. The following commit
tee was appointed to go to Washington:
Hon. E. F. Ware. w. c.. Perry, j. r.
Hallowell, J. r. Brinkerhoff and Judge
T. B. Wall.
Whereas The population, wealth and
business Of the state of Kansas has in
creased in recent years to such magnitude
that one federal judicial district is insult
ficient to properly, satisfactorily and ade-
quately dispose of the business coming be-
fore the federal courts of this state, rem
dering it necessary to increase the facilities
and convenience for disposing of the bust
ness necessarily coming before said court,
and
Whereas, Our railroad facilities and the
present distribution of population render
it DIES irable to divide the state by line
running east and west, making one dis
trict IL the northern part, and the other in
the southern part of the state; therefore,
be it
Resolved, By the members of the bar of
the southern portion of the state, in con-
vention assembled, that we favor the di-
vision of the state OF Kansas into two fed
eral judicial districts, to be known as the
northern and southern districts of Kansas,
and
Resolved. That such division is made
necessary by reason of our present facili-
ties for travel and for the reason that it
will be more satisfactory to the people of
the entire state, and will thereby lessen the
expenses incident to the disposal of
business coming before the federal courts,
and,
Resolved, That the senators and mem
bers in congress from the state of Kansas
be and they are hereby requested to use
all honorable means TO secure the passage
of the necessary legislation to divide the
state into two judicial districts, and pro-
vide for the necessary officers and places
for holding court in said districts.

THE STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIA-
TON

From Prof. d. S. Pense, county super
intendent of public instruction of Sedg.
wick, who returned yesterday from the
annual meeting Of the State Teachers
association at Topeka, the EAGLE learns
that the meeting was the largest in num-
| bers and perhaps most important in
point of work done of any that has ever
been held. There were over six hun
| dred members of the association present.
The resolutions adopted embrace num-
Der of important matters that will be
presented to the legislature for action.
The following persons were elected as
officers for the ensuing year:
PRESIDENT. N. Wilkinson, of En-
poria.
Vice-President- Goblin, of Bald
win City.
Secretary-J. w. Ferguson, of Kansas
City.
Treasurer-J. H. Hays. of Winfield.
Executive committee. N. Wilkin-
son, ex-officio chairman; G. w. Winans,
state supt. -elect. secretary; Geo. Ryan of
Leavenworth, VIM. NJ. Davidson of To-
peka, D. S. Pense of Wichita.
The annual convention of the county
superintendent of the state was fixed to
be held in Wichita, May IA, Is and 16,
Also the annual meeting of the princi-
pals of high schools for the state, the
date to be announced later.
Sedgwick county as usual took the
lead in the convention at Topeka, having
the largest delegation between fifty and
sixty, in attendance The Sedgwick dele
cation was the only one present that es-
tablished headquarters while in the city,
having apartments assigned it for this
purpose at the Copeland through the
courtesy of the local committee. This
circumstance probably gave rise to the
rumor that was started on the streets of
Topeka and finally found its way into
the local papers 70 the effect that Sedg-
wick county was on hand to capture the
convention and remove it to Wichita.
No such intention was entertained, how
ever, by any member from Sedgwick,
though Topeka will have to make
additional provision for entertaining
the convention in future if the attend
ance at its meetings shall be as large as
at this one. Nevertheless, as to private
entertainment the Sedgwick delegation
express themselves as highly gratified at
the consideration shown them while in
the capital city.
In this connection it is not anliss to
state that with the two meetings above
mentioned to be held in this city, to-
gether with the annual convention of
the Southwestern Teachers association
and other educational gatherings that
will be announced further along in the
season, Wichita may justly be regarded
the educational center of the state, as
she is entitled to be by season of the
greater number and character of her
institutions.
