evening passed so quickly away that al
most before it could be realized the dawn
was breaking. The Wichita Mobiles, after
short season of repose, were escorted in
carriages through the beautiful and busy
city and its environs, and were lost in adj
miration OF her magnificent streets and
parks, clutches, colleges, stately business
blocks and beautiful residences. No small
share Of the enjoyment of the occasion
was due to our former fellow townsman,
Col. Moses, and Major Fred Andrews, of
the Salina Republican. who, with the
shriners of Salina, were interchangeable in
their efforts to make this season of en-
joyment not soon to be forgotten by their
guests.

METROPOLIS OF KANSAS.
THE MISSOURI PACIFIC ON DECK
Wichita to Have Several New and
Important Connections.

As is known to many Of our citizens, Mr.
Jay Gould, ACCOMPANIED by several OF his
directory, were in the city for several hours
Friday. Not feeling very well he kept TO
his car, where consultation was had with
his local officers. For ten days he had been
tarrying at Manitou. We are not author
lied to make public yet some of the deter
limitations arrived at, but we are author
lied to say that the original plans for a
direct line from Wichita to connect with
the Little Rock an Memphis roads is to
be rapidly built. The trains will be run
ming this week from Memphis through to
Gibson, in the Indian Territory. The link
from Oatville to Belle PLANE is all right.
and SO is the Cedarvaie road. The NJ, X.
& 7. will pass from the Missouri Pacific's
management within the next few days
and the Memphis road will be extended
right On in the direction southwest Kansas
via either the Cana, the Nerdigris or the
Arkansas valleys. We are not authorized
to designate which, but by either of which
Wichita is given direct line to the Missis-
sippI river, either by the Oatville link or
by the Cedarvale or Dexter extension, as
anyone can see by examining a map. The
Great Bend link, of fourteen miles, is also
to be taken care Of The Paola link is now
being operated, and within few days one
probably two fast trains per day will be
put on between Kansas City and Wichita.
Wheat, sheep, cattle and corn, and several
other products are going from Wichita to
St Louis and the Mississippi river at rates
but q fraction over the rates from ali points
of central Kansas to Kansas City, and
Wichita will have secured thus far the rel
ignition and advantages TO which her ton
mage and her market Importance entitle
her. Touching the last matter which in
cludes our packing house interests, live
stock yards and markets, etc. not only
the Missouri Pacific but the Santa Fe and
Frisco have agreed, and the impulse of the
new arrangements, contracts and cOnces-
sions will be felt, and strongly felt, during
the fall months, augmented and strength
ene1, we hope, by big crops of everything.
Mr. Gould and his officers spent yester-
day on the lines lying east of Belle Plaine
and Winfield and Arkansas City.
Look out for lots OF good news and big
things for Wichita in the near future.

THAT BIG BEEF DRESSING PLANT.

The proprietors of that extensive and
old established dressed beef establishment,
which have been corresponding with SKI
board of trade for the month past, have
settled on Kansas City or Wichita for fli-
ture operations. The president telegraphed
Mr.. Oliver yesterday that they must come
TO Wichita and study the situation before
taking any further steps. 1t is their in
tention to furnish a large number Of meat
markets in eastern cities with choice
dressed beef delivered in refrigerator
cars, and they are satisfied that the near
future will find Wichita a better point AT
which to buy the class of animals desired
by them than would Kansas City be with
its stockers, shippers, etc.

ANNUAL CONVENTION.
Twenty-Third Kansas state Sunday School
Association.

| The convention opened in the opera
| house, Abilene. at p. NJ, June q. with a
| children's meeting, at which every seat
| $500 in that capacious hail was filed.
Delegates kept pouring a good delega-
| ton from Wichita, and at the first morn
ing service the house was filled, some
| thing never known before in the history of
our conventions.
| A very large number Of counties report
ed every township organized. Sedgwick
county headed the lists with the largest
number of Sunday schools and Sunday
school scholars, fact due to the untiring
energy of our county missionary, j. ".
Armstrong
Prof Excel was on hand in the after
noon and at once saw he had an audience
VINO could and would sing and before they
knew it they could sing with vim four
or five new pieces that inspired and
charmed every heart,
A little later in the day came Rev. Viii
bur Z. Crafts, of New York, who, although
he has been preaching twenty years, looks
at little distance to be not more than 80
years of age He is no mere theorist; he
tells not what he imagines, but what he
has done and seen others do He Is thor
| oughly practical and gave numberless val
liable hints in answer TO questions In his
lecture on the ''Instincts of Childhood"
he opened up that wonderful country of
mind which we are called upon to explore.
Our own workers were on hand also with
helpful hints.
Our general secretary, Rev. J. A. Bright,
in his report showed he was the man to
arouse enthusiasm. Get the people at
work and get from them the money 10
carry it on. Our financial condition is
first class and our prospects for next year
were never so promising The president
asked the people this year for $1,000.
The most important work of the conven
tion was placing all the county conven-
lions in line SO that the general secretary
can attend every one of them. In six
trips during the spring, summer and fall
months he will have county convention
in every county in the state, and have ut
Kansas on the lists as banner state,
every county organized for work.
The place of our next meeting is Nc
Pherson, and our president for the year is
Rev. J. w. Love, OF Wichita.
1t would be discourteous not to mention
Vic hoSp!SoAiSy VI 'lAN S'tAHSiiS
of Abilene Not content with bestowing
upon US the best their city and homes
afforded, they covered it all with most
delightful lawn party, at the elegant and
beautifully shaded home Of Mr.. c. H.
Lebold The grounds were splendidly
lighted with the clear, soft incandescent
electric lights put in for the occasion. The
delegates repaired to the grounds after an
evening session, headed by most excel
lent band, who through the evening" dis
coursed delightful music, which was sup
plemented with sentimental and humorous
selections from superb quartette. Is it
a wonder that the midnight hour struck
before many OF US had retired.
The convention was a success, and closes
up the grandest year of progress in our
history. May it open one much more
Glorious.
