WEST SIDE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATIONS

To the Editor of the EAGLE.
This meeting has been called for the pur-
pose of organizing committee or associa-
ton looking to the following objects, to-
wit:
First-The construction of belt line
connection upon the West Side with all
railroads entering the CITY.
Second-The location of manufactures
thereon.
Third-The location of packing estab
lishments upon the West Side.
The ultimate effect of locations already
made of important industries-all in one
direction and remote from the commercial
center must be to develop new centers of
traffic and therefore to disturb-perhaps to
permanently impair-the present center Of
business. The bad policy of doing any
thing to destroy or injure vested interests
is too plain for argument. Old residents
of Wichita need not be reminded of the
evil consequences.
We conceive it to be self evident propo-
sition that the interests of Wichita will be
best served by the location of manufact-
ures seeking establishment here around
common center so as to conserve
the capital and the business already
established-the growth of years of
industry, economy, energy and enter
prise.
We believe that those who have their
money invested in business blocks on
Main street and Douglas avenue would do
well to awaken to the situation and look
to it that future locations of important in
dustries DE secured for the south and west
sides to counterbalance the influence of es-
Establishments placed elsewhere.
Therefore the undersigned see fit to or
ganize for the accomplishment of the pur-
poses indicated and in their efforts to that
end confidently rely upon the counte-
nance and cooperation of all present bust
ness interests as tending to their own con-
tinued well being.

Tne Roisterons Atlantic

is a terror to timid voyagers, scarcely less
on account of the perils of the deep than
the almost certainty of sea sickness. The
best curative of NAL de mer is Hostetter s
stomach bitters, which settles the stomach
at once and prevents its disturbance. To
all travellers and tourists, whether by sea
or land it presents a happy medium be-
tween the nauseous or Intellectual resources
of the medicine chest, and the problemat-
lcal benefit derived from an unmedicated
alcoholic stimulant, no matter how pure.
The Earring of railroad car often produces
stomachic disorders akin to that caused by
the rolling of ship. For this the bitters
is prompt and certain remedy. The use
of brackish water, particularly on long
voyages in the tropics, inevitably breeds
disorders of the stomach and bowels.
Hostetter's stomach bitters mixed with
impure water nullifies its impurities.
Similarly it counteracts malarial and other
prejudicial influences of climate or atmOs-
phere. as well as the effects OF exposure
and fatigue. Use it for kidney complaints,
rheumatism and debility.

] have noticed that a convention of the
colored voters of the state has been called
to meet in Lawrence, Kan, on May 81, the
object being that colored voters should
take more Independent position, and that
political subserviency is detrimental to the
progress of the colored race and is far
reaching and vicious in its tendencies. l
have also noticedthat my name appears in
the list of those in favor of calling such a
convention, and l wish to say through
your paper that l am not in sympathy
with snch a movement and that my name
was used without my consent. l am in
favor of anything that will help the cause
of the colored man, but l think such a
movement is unwise and will have a ten
dency to do the race more harm than
