A BIRD EMPORIUM.

Mr.. w. G. Mcconnell has started bird
emporium on North Main street near the
Occidental. He has his first shipment on
exhibition and will receive another next
Wednesday, which will give him the finest
collection of birds of plumage and song
west of St. Louis. Knowing that Wichita was
ahead in other enterprises and called for
more diversified business than anyother
city in the state. he could see that there is
a demand for bird emporium. He has
already several orders from surrounding
towns which he considers plain facts in
support of his theory.
He has on exhibition all kinds
of German and English canar-
les; ST. Andrews bird trained
by bird organ, giving quite enough music
to keep good sized crowd on the street
listening, The talking parrots are some
times made play second part to the mi
nor of East India. which is very attrac-
tive bird with reputation of being more
sensible than the parrot. The bull inches
and German red canaries come in for their
share of interest, together with the New
Orleans mocking bird, the blue and yell
low. red and blue macaws, brought from
South America and East Indies.
To many it is jumping from the sublime
to the ridiculous for the eye to leave the
bird collection and fall upon the typical
pet pugs. tThe lop-eared rabbits, with ears
eighteen and twenty-five inches long, seem
TO be of much more interest. The collec-
ton of rabbits is rather extensive.

WHAT WONT SHE DO?

Counting the buildings nearing compile
ton, the buildings being erected and the
buildings of which the easements, foun-
dations, etc, are being put in, a gentle
man who has made a close inspection the
last week, estimates that there are not
less than two hundred new buildings of all
characters now being erected in this city.
1t may be all well enough to talk about
the short crops of last year, the shrink
age of business throughout the country
as shown by clearing house reports, the
dullness of real estate. east and west, and
the lack of demand for money at the CEN
tiers, which always occur in presidential
years. but all the same, and in the face of
all these, and in spite of the reaction of
booms, Wichita, today, is growing in a
most satisfactory If not in a wonderful
way, growing at least as no other city in
the west can rival or even claim to rival
Ii this is Wichita in dull year and fol-
lowing season of short crops, etc, what
won't she do after she has leveled up and
got ready for another rush with big crops

GRAIN AND LIVE STOCK.
The Greatest and Most Complete Packing Plan
on the American Continent.

The walls of four or five of the capacious
buildings of the Dold packing plant are
growing as fast as mortar and brick and
stone can be put together by the hundreds
of busy hands. a steam engine is EN-
ployed to hoist material and to cut the
heavy timbers which sustain the success
sive floors which are to bear each, hun
dreds of tons of cured and curing meats.
One of the main brick structures has
reached the fourth floor, another the third
and two of them the second floor. The i'm
mense piles of hard wood lumber at first
delivered upon the grounds have about all
disappeared in the structures and more is
being daily delivered. Fifty-one car loads
of hard wood planks it is said went be
meath the foundations. The slaughter
house is up some four or five stories and
work has commenced on the stupendous
smoke stack which is to reach into the
air one hundred and twenty feet above
the massive pyramidical foundation which
is some eight or ten feet above the ground.
In short, all is activity about the premises
with Mr.. George Dold and Architect
Thomas, here, there and everywhere. Mr..
Jacob Dold, Sr, is still in the city and can
be seen every day in the vicinity of the
works. The ponderous machinery, Ell
gines, pumps, elevators, ice machinery,
boilers, iron tanks, etc. ETC., are being
built in the east and viii all be finished
by the time the buildings are ready for
them
The truth of the assertion, made few
weeks since, by this paper, that it had
been assured by old and experienced pack
ers that the Wichita packing houses of
Jacob Dold 6 Son were to be the finest and
most complete on the American continent,
is beginning to be appreciated by our peo-
pie. That their establishment and opera
tion will be followed by the greatest live
stock in the west, outside of Kansas City,
and the greatest grain market no longer
admits doubt.

HE SPELLS 1T BUTTS

A creature who signs himself f. W.
Butts, as a guaranty of the length of his
ears, writes letter to Michigan paper,
a copy of which is before us, who as a
downright, sheer nude liar eclipses the
efforts of all the many thousands OF
Wichita's paid and unpaid defamers. We
cannot give his letter, will not, but we
hold it for the inspection of the curious
and doubling. His letter is written to
warn the people of Brunson, Michigan,
against coming here. He opens out by
declaring that Wichita has bonded herself
for very nearly as much as she. is worth
for manufacturing institutions, which
have not been worth one dollar to her.
This fellow knows, if he knows anything
about the matter, knows Wichita never
voted or issued dollar of bonds for a
manufacture. His next assertion is that
there are eight hundred. empty houses in
Wichita now, and there would be eight
hundred more within week could
their occupants raise money enough
to get away. He says thirdly that five out
of twenty men only have employment, and
so he goes on for a full half column wind
ing up with a blast against Sedgwick
county as an agricultural county He
takes up the car works, the plow works
and the watch works, the shoe factory, the
Dold packing house, and blasts each in
turn, closing the soap factory weeks pre-
vious Why he himself is found in such a
badly bursted city he don't explain, but it
may be he is busted community himself.
We never heard of Bronson, Mich, before
nor of its Journal but we heartily con-
gratulate the people of that village that
they are no longer afflicted with the pres
ence of the man whose name seems 50
plurally suggestive of his character, for as
an ass he is more than single.

THE CAR WORKS
Tho Greatest Manufacturing Plant in the State
and Its Demands.

Few people, from reading the newspaper
accounts of the Burton Car works, Of this
city, can have any adequate idea Of their
magnitude Besides the general offices
and small structures of various kinds for
special purposes, there are six immense
brick structures, each of them covering
acres of ground. A whole train of cars
can be run into the paint shop, leaving
room for hundreds OF workmen. The
blacksmith shop, besides its ponderous
machinery, has dozens of forges. The
shafting driven by the monster engine
whirls miles of shafting. In the wood
working building there IS machine
which dresses all four sides of sill or of q
studding at one operation. There are i'm
mense lathes for wood and iron, planning
machines for both wood and iron,
bolt making machines, saws, morticing
machines, bolt and nut forging machines,
screw and tap cutting machines, hydraulic
wheel fitting machines, ETC., ETC., costing
from fifteen hundred to i've thousand
dollars each. There are probably not to
exceed one hundred men working as yet,
but the machinery is being placed, the
grounds prepared and material gotten in,
all in view of big Operations in the near
future. The brass foundry and the iron
foundry with its immense cupolas for
melting iron are all ready and moulding
sand by the car load is being hauled in.
An immense pit, many feet deep, Is being
put in in which the car wheels, after cast
ing will be put to cool, which takes from
week to ten days time. A core-drying build
ing is nearly complete, and the finishing
the supply store building, the cellar Of
which is full of oils in barrels. The shops,
offices and buildings, as well as the entire
premises, are lighted with electricity, both
arc and incandescent lights, the dynamo
for which stands in the engine room.
number of cars are ready to be sent out
and are marked Chicago, Rock Island q
Pacific, manufactured at Wichita, Kan.
When it comes to multiplying the pres
ent force from eight TO ten times, the
question of more homes and cottages be-
come quite serious one. The managers
think that at least two hundred more
buildings will be needed by the time they
can be put up.
There is another thing. With thous
and men and their families at and about
the works, the motor line will be compelled
to very greatly increase their rolling stock
and their speed. This corporation must
lie prepared to transfer anywhere from 500
TO 5000 people down to the heart of the
city and back, during a single evening,
quickly safely and cheaply.
The Burton Car Works of Wichita is the
greatest manufacturing plant in the state
of Kansas and all that anyone has to do to
satisfy themselves of that fact is to pay
them visit.
Wichita eagle., 1888-05-06

Friday night man named Wolf applied
for lodging at the Occidental and was
given room with two other men on the
second floor. One OF them had already re-
tired when Wolf was taken up to the
room by the bell boy about 10 O'Clock. An
hour afterward when the third man was
shown TO the room, there was plainly to
be discovered the odor of escaping gas.
This was first noticed in the Railways and
when the room was entered it was very
strong. An effort made to arouse the two
sleeping men showed that they were both
more or less under its influence After
considerable work they were aroused and
at the end of a couple of hours seemed TO
have recovered consciousness.
Wolf, when asked regarding the occur
renee said that after the bell boy who
had shown him up had left him he at
tempted TO turn off the gas, but finding
considerable difficulty in doing this he
simply blew it out He was an intelligent
looking man and one who appeared TO be
familiar with the deadly effects of gas;,the
gentleman who gave the information was
TINS inclined TO believe that it was not
done through ignorance, but with suicidal
intent, II the room had not been entered
for an hour later than it was, il is thought
that both of the men would have been be-
Yond resuscitation.
