FLY WHEEL BROKEN.

Yesterday afternoon an accident hap
pened at the car works which may delay
the com mencement Of operations there for
sometime The workmen in handling the
large fly wheel let it fall, breaking large
piece from the side. 1t was at first thought
that ii would be necessary TO send for an
other one to the east and if such was the
case it will require at least two weeks
Mr. Perkins was, after carefully exaulin-
ing the wheel, of the opinion that the
damage could be repaired without the ex-
pense and trouble in about a week or per
hapS less.

Mr. Beedle, who is connected with the
freight department of the Rock Island
road and also a member of the Rock Is
land coal company has just returned from
a visit of a few days to Topeka, and he
says that he had formerly thought Topeka
about as good town as Wichita but not
correct. The people there get up about as
early as they do in Washington City, walk
very slow when once started and never get
but one or two blocks in day and report
at night about the pleasures of the day.
AS to business he could see very little of
that sort of thing. and would compare
with Wichita about as favorably as st.
Louis with New York City.

INCREASING POLICE PROTECTION.

HOW ABOUT this ferklnSvlile cdiaOOoSc
business and prisoner transfer line:" said
councilman yesterday rather earnestly.
''All know" said another member, ''is
what l learned from that communication
of the police commissioners, which WAS
read the other night. That seemed to tell
us that they wanted more police business
for the vile and a way TO lock them up
for safe keeping and a way for safe trans
portation. Well, when this is submitted
to commercial parlance it simply means
they want some more policemen up there,
suburban calabooSe or police station and
good wagon, team and DRYER, all OF
such make and design as to
make it easy to haul bad men from up
there when arrested"
well, but what will ali this cost by the
time we pay for all limited at in the COM
municatlon?"
"That's not in the question" was the re-
ply.
1.-The commissioners are not compelled
to make any calculation about cost. All
they have to do is to order a thing done
and order bill presented the city council,
which, in my opinion, will be paid provided
there is any money to do it with
''But what does the communication
mean anyhow" insisted one. IF they
intend to make these improvements why
don't they do it and not worry around with
their epistles. Do you suppose they will
make the improvements mentioned"
Il can't answer that question near as
correctly, perhaps, as commissioner
could don't doubt but that there will
soon be several hundred people at Per-
kinsville and, of course, they must have
police protection. Now, they can make
these improvements with few hundred
dollars or can expend several thousand.
You know the city is now giving the po-
lice force in salaries all the money
they bring into the city treas
800 This should think would cause the
commissioners to dip light in the city
treasury, both in increasing the force,
making constant increased expense, and in
the other suggestions. Now, some have
been limiting at patrol wagon. This
wagon arrangement, l should think
would serve the entire city by having tele-
phone connection up there could thus get
word and in few minutes return with the
load"
mo this expense will certainly be con-
sidered by the commission. And by the
way, have you noticed that the fellows in
the council who have piled up expense
most are now bowling the loudest for a
halt in that line. l guess they are try
ing to turn the public censure in
some other direction provided any should
come forth in the next few months"

lures" was the reply, but also know that

THE ENTIRE NOUS BALL.

The Entire Nous club last night gave one
of the most successful and enjoyable mas
querade balls ever given in the city. The
floor of Bears dancing academy, where the
affair took place. presented a rather strik-
ing and grotesque appearance as the large
crowd of motley and curiously dressed
figures moved around the room. Here
were nymphs and sirens, courtiers, clowns
and knights, Meg Merrilies, Topsies::and
Uncle Sans all on level and apparently
all bent on having glorious time. One
of the striking representations was that Of
the Salvation Army as give by eleven
young men and two ladies. They were
completely rugged out in caps, red and blue
clothing, carrying accordeons, bass drums
and other musical instruments.
The unmasking, which took place at II
o'clock, created considerable surprise and
revealed in the attendants most of the
leading members of the Jewish social
circles. The dancing, with much pleasure
and enjoyment, was kept up until late
hour, and all departed well pleased with
the entertainment afforded.

tendant upon the incident and had not at

wICHITA'S SURE DESTINY.

F. w. DeBerard, Esq, of Chicago, the
special agent of the Hartford, spent yes
terday in the city. visiting, in company
with Lee Taylor, our manufactures, etc.
Mr.. Deb, calling on the EAGLE in the
evening, said that he had visited Wichita
a number of times in the past twelve
years, as his business is to travel constant
ly, and that he could never give it up that
Wichita would make great city until the
past year. Upon the other hand, he now
says he is convinced of no material fact
more strongly than that Wichita must be-
come a powerful city, rivaling Kansas
City, and like that city only, becoming a
secondary to Chicago. From her start,
prestige and surrounding such a magni-
tude is unquestionable. He said he still
finds people in his travels who think there
has been great collapse of some charac-
ter here and that the city is dead, notions
gained from the spleen and vaporings of
penny-a-line scribblers, but the more en-
lightened and obseryant everywhere have
been disabused of such erroneous conclu-
sirns, and that Wichita has nothing to do
now, only to march forward in her line of
destiny as one of the manufacturing and
commercial centers of this continent.
