HON. WILLIAM aRE1FFENsrEIN
VIII be rendered an Ovation by mis- Admirtng
Friends on the 6eth Anniversary Of
His Birthday.

Today is the 9th anniversary OF our es
teemed fellow-townsman, the Hon. VIM
GreiFenstein, and accordingly number o.
his old time friends will honor the event
this evening. at his pala-iai 1--WE mean pal
atiaI residence in this city. We herewith
publish a poem dedicated 10 Mr. 6. by one
OF his many admirers of this city:
Far off towards the setting sun
Where yet as in the ages led,
Buffalo roamed in countless herds
And DER the plain the mustang sped;
Where on the warpath and the hunt
The red men royed the wide domain,
And with the bow and tomahawk
Defed the rifle, az and chain;
Where no roads but the Indian trail
Led through the so-calied desert land,
And bones OF daring pioneers
Lay bleaching on the burning sand:
In this TAR western wilderness,
The dread OF pale-faced renderfeet.
From Fatherland and home and friends
You came your unknown fate to meet
Your outfit was your strength and youth
Your capital undaunted pluck;
With faith in these, and little else,
You sought an Indian traders luck.
In winters storm and summers heat
You kept untired, ION the move"
And often camped with nought TO eat,
The earth your bed. the sky yonr roof
You pitched your tent on many spots
Between the Rockies and tie kaw,
And well known was your trading post,
Built Oh the site o. Wichita.
From tribe TO tribe your schooners went.
With goods the savage heart to please,
And bringing back their freight Of hides,
Set Uncle Billy's mind at ease.
Thus through reyerses and success,
You preserved from year 10 year.
Until the red mans lands were sold
To the advancing pioneer.
On Kansas d new era dawned,
When the tide OF immigration,
In steadily increasing waves
With higher civilization
Swept DER the sunny free soil state.
Fair is her cline and rich her soil,
Rewarding well the farmers toll,
Who with happy homesteads dotted
The leaning valley Of our Nile.
Men of your cast the future read
And with their higher object grow;
You heard the coming millions tread
You saw the star OF empire glow.
In visions Of prophetic truth
The cities on the plains you saw,
And grandest in the galaxy
Our peerless magic Wichita.
The dream became wonderous fact,
And you, the founder of the towu,
That now among her sisters all
In queenly beauty wears the crown.
To call you father she delights
You guarded her in infant age,
And in her later history
Stands proud your name on ev'ry page
And still, when TO the front are called
The men who shaped her destiny,
You helped to boom dear WichiH.
With energy-in unity.
On this, your natal day, kind sir,
Accept with my sincere regard
The trifing gift of these poor rhymes,
Offered by a grateful heart.
May your declining years be blessed
With wealth and honors, health anc
love;
And long may you see the Eagle soar
High in the vauited sky above,
Spreading his wings from sea to sea.
As prophesied in holy writ;
The pride of all America
Glorious bird of Wichita!
WIN. WEssELHoFT.

A FINANcIER.s OPINION.
MI James Lombard. Heavy Ca pit,Itst OF Fan
xas Cit, Expresses Very Bright Assur-
ances OF Wichita's Brilliant Future.

Mr.. James L Lombard, president Of the
First National Bank of Kansas City, ar
rived yesterday and spent the day looking
after important financial interests He
left last evening on his return trip. ex-
pressing regrets that he was unable TO re
main in the metropolis of the southwest
any longer. Concerning the financial az
fairs of the country his expressions were
most encouraging, as the showing now
compared with that one year ago Is OF sach
a superior character as TO establish the
fact that there is much more available
money in the country now than then. He
stated that banks over the country ara IN
much better condition than they were one
year ago, which means that the country ST
large is gaining in financial and CONNER
cial strength. There is great promise of
abundant crops in Kansas this fall aud 10
move this may create a temporary string
ency but one that is always benefit 20 the
country, and especially are tn. bankers
glad 20 lend their money on moving crops
to market as il soon returns with
an increased deposit account. Wich-
tia, / am glad To observe,
has not changed her speed
Of putting brick and mortar together,
which is good Indication OF course. l
notice in this connection another thing
please, don't see vacant business houses,
which would seem TO indicate that the
men erecting these buildings have good
business reasons for such action. Some
times buildings are put up in towns and
cities and small profits OF investments
follow, because the buildings are not need
ed. This state of affairs, however, does
not exist here, most assuredly, and put
Wichita down in the list OF cities Of an i'm
portant financial assurance, that its I'M
portauce will continue TO increase in keep
Ing with the demand. The pork packing
interest in this city will ere long be OF in
calculable value 70 your city and one good
establishment calls for more. The coun-
try naturally draining here viii raise the
hogs and cattle for a very important pack
ing point"
Mr.. Lombard, after spending most Of the
day at the State National bank and the
Lombard Mortgage CO., left last evening
for Kansas Citv.

BACK FROM TOPEKA.
THE SEDGWICK COUNTY DELE
GATES AND THEIR FRIENDS
RETURNED.
Everybody Satisfied With the Con-
ventlOn's Work and Enthusiast
ic--An Unsually Large Re-
publican Majority
Certain.

Yesterday morning the Sedgwick county
delegates to the state Republican conven
tlon at Topeka returned accompanied by
the large number of friends who accom-
panied them at that place. Delegates and
ali speak in the highest terms OF praise for
the various candidates nominated for the
several offices. They say that everybody
from all sections Of the state is enthusiast
ic over the ticket nominated and
predict that it viii with
Harrison and Morton roll up
the largest majority Kansas ever gave the
Republican ticket. Especially are they
delighted with Goveruor-Elect Humphrey,
who is conceded by Democrats TO be the
strongest man that was before the conven-
ton.
Republicans all over the state are thor
oughly aroused aid organizing daily in
every county. They are particularly alert
in the newer and more western counties,
where very large majority OF newcomers
since the last election have been old sol
diers or farmers from the Republican
states of Illinois and Ohio. The farming
communities are becoming aroused to their
sense Of duty in seeing TO it, that they are
provided with good home market instead
of having to export the major portion OF
their surplus products and stock. The
laboring people in many Of the cities are
organizing Harrison and Morton protec-
ton clubs. And this year will demon
strate that Judge Martin, the Democratic
candidate for governor, knows no more
now about when not to run for governor
than about when TO run, the time he de
clined, and Geo. ". Click ran and was
elected.

PARAMOUNT CONCERT.

The regular Friday evening Paramount
band concert was given last night and
highly appreciated by the hundreds who
We're in attendance, from the hill and also
from the city. 1t is estimated that there
were fully three hundred present. The
band is progressing finely and furnishes
excellent music The ladies OF the Congre-
gational church furnished refreshments,
but were unable to supply the unexpected
demand. Another interesting feature Of
the concert was the singing by a trio Of
male voices They were frequently en-
cored. The elevation and the consequent
breeze on Paramount make these concerts
particularly delightful, as was evidenced
by the crowds who came from the city in
carriages buggies and on the motor line.
Another concert viii De given next Friday
evening at the same place, corner of Fair
mount and Fourteenth

WICHITA S EXHIBIT.
Unsurpassed in Attractiveness and Merit By
ABythiu & in the Exposition
CINCINNATI, July ..

CINCINNATI, July ..
Hon. u u. Nurdock:
This week is odd Fellows week at the
exposition. and great week it is too. The
city is crowded with people and the attend
ance is increasing daily. Much interest is
being taken in the display from Wichita,
and its prominent location next TO the best
exhibit gives it the attention characteristic
of your city. Wichita may well feel proud
Of their efforts, and especially when they
realize the fact that they are receiving the
credit Of advertising the state at their own
expense.
No other city in the west had the sand
% attempt such an undertaking and at
such an expense. or they would have been
here The Topeka people who have visited
here are much provoked 10 think that the
state did not make an appropriation for an
exhibit, and to think that Wichita Is car
rying of the honors.
The old saying that Wichita
never marches unless she leads in the pro-
cesslon" is again proved true II their ex-
hlblt at the Cincinnati exposition.
Cincinnati and all Ohio people have
been especially kind TO the Wichita people
and have warm feeling for Kansas. The
Hon Edward Stevens, OF the chamber or
y1.Hmerce, deserves the credit of securing
.-- ,est space on the ground floor, and
next 10 the big fountain in the center of
the main building. Mr.. Allison, president
OF the association, as well as all the COM
missloners, feel that Wichita IS entitled TO
great credit for what they have done, and
will help your people make this grand
success.
1t is hoped that each farmer Of Sedgwick
county viii interest himself to secure
the best samples Of the products
OF Kansas soil to be forwarded here.
Much more is needed to fill out the display
aud it should be prepared and forwarded
as quick as possible. The Sedgwick coun-
ty farmer can astonish the world if he only
will make an effort, and here Is his oppor-
tunlty. Cincinnati being situated in the
center of po8ulatIon or the United states
and easy of access, they can handle larger
crowds OF people IN the same time than
almost any other city. No better oppOr-
tunity could have been offered Wichita
and the southwest TO show their product 5
than the present, aud especially when the
country has such fine prospects.
Wichita is much inquired after and IS
certainly the magnetic city OF the west anu
when the caravan commences to move this
fall let the bars down SO that the crowd
can stop for feed.
There has been a good representation
from Kansas here so far, and IL is expected
that in september they will be here IN
train loads. There ought 20 be a special
train of ten coaches, -corated in true Kan
sas style, leave Wichita direct for Cincln-
natl.
The EAGLE is on file at the pagoda in the
exposition building. p

Yesterday morning at about o'clock. a
horse hitched 10 a spring wagon in which
a man was sitting in front of the Eagle
Coruice works, corner of South Main and
Orme streets. became frightened and IN
manageable to such an extent that he up
set the vehicle and spilled the driver out
on the ground. Although the seat fell on
the man he was not in the least injured
but scrambled TO his feet in time to catch
the horse before it could make up its mind
to run away. There was no damage done
TO the wagon

On Thursday night burglars entered the
store of Mr.. A Bamberger. No. 2I1 North
Fourth avenue, and stole about $50 worth
of clothing, consisting of mems and boys
suits. II is thought that an entrance was
effected by unlocking the front door with
a skeleton key and then locking IL on the
inside. They escaped by breaking through
a back window. The matter is in the
hands of McMahan's detective agency and

chosen space on the sidewalk in front OF
the Commercial hotel aud was deliverin z
which nobody could understand, but
which seemed TO greatly interest the
crowd that gathered around him. He
could be heard two blocks and was each
minute getting more enthusiastic when he
