one who has just left our employ and re-
moved TO Wichita for his future home.
We refer to Mr.. James S. Nandiver, who

five years and have been intimately ac-
uuanted with him for ten years. For the
past three years he has been connected
with our firm in the capacity of cattle and
sheep salesman and it is conceded by all
that as salesman he has no superior.
With his high reputation for honesty, in
tegrity, and strict application to business,
he has secured for himself the highest re
spect and most perfect confidence of all
those with whom he has held business re
lations His untiring efforts at all times
and under all circumstances for the best
interests of customers joined with
his excellent Judgment and long expert
ence as stock man make him a man
whom we much regret to lose. but also
one whom we most heartily recommend to
the citizens of Wichita We do not write
this at the solicitation of anyone, but
simply because we felt it duty we owed
to one long in our EMPLOY.
Associated with him are MIR. c. l.. Dit
mars, one of the largest and best known
farmers and stock raisers in Johnson
county. and Mr.. W. c. Noris, a young man
of the same place, and most highly re
spected, and worthy of all confidence.
We bespeak for the firm that large bust
! ness which is the result of promptuess,
integrity and strict application to bust
| ness. JEFFERY & FESLER-

THE MAGIC CITY.

Tossed the golden plumes and banners,
OF the lush and yellow corn,
Waving Ger the broad savanna
Of city yet unborn.
Half score of huts uprising,
With their small, white windows low,
Marked the settlers rude comprising,
Less than twenty years ago.
Shrieked the iron-horse swift dashlng
Ger the prairie's roll and sweep,
Leaving trails of steel far flashing,
Like the moonlight on the deep
Blew his steaming breath red blazing,
Rang and changed his brazen peal,-
Fled the herds Of cattle grazing,
Fell the huts beneath his heel.
Fell the silken plumes and banner
Of the tall and ripening corn,
On the sunny, broad savannas
OF the city newly born.
In the mighty, vast Transforming,
Grew city fair and wide.
From the Chisholm's narrow stormlng
To the broad Arkansas side.
And many tower and steeple,
With their Ginning bells in air,
Call the myriads of people
From their labor and to prayer.
Famed and known in song and story
Where waved the tasseled grains
Stands fair Kansas crown and glory,
The MAGIC CITY of the plains.

Happy Hawaii.

Among the arrivals in this port yester-
day from Honolulu were Robert r. Hind,
wife and daughter, bound for visit to
England, their native country. For
twenty-five years Mr.. Hind has been
away from home, battling for fortune in
the Hawaiian islands, where he has now
amassed nearly 81 100000. They and
another resident of the Hawaiian islands,
Alexander Young, who also arrived with
his family by the steamer yesterday, were
seen by a Chroni lie" reporter last
evening at downtown hotel In the
course of conversation the late troublous
times in Hawaii were referred to, and all
agreed that affairs now are in a much
more satisfactory condition. Mr.. Young
said it was the better class of foreign
residents an the islands, supplemented
by the better portion of the native ele-
ment, who had brought about the pre-
sent good condition of affairs in the
islands, and they are firmly bound to-
gether to maintain this status. GO The
talk you may have heard" said he,
" during the late transformation about
us becoming republic was all nonsense.
1t wouldn't work at all where there are
SO few people and so many nationalities
represented. We like it as it now is,
especially since the late seven-years' re-
newell of the treaty with Uncle Sam, for
it encourages us in the belief that this
country is inclined to keep a watchful
eye upon US, and may eventually extend
a sheltering wing over us, which would
then make us a happy people indeed. .
