A BEyY OF ENTERPRISES.
Scheme to Establish Number OF important
Industries on the West Side

For some time there has been scheme
on foot for the establishment of some very
important business enterprises on the
West side The matter has been working
slowly, and has reached the point where It
has become almost certain that the entire
scheme can be set down as another impor-
tant fact in the city's growth. As there
will be SO many concerned in the matter
it necessarily had to move slowly, and
some of those most anxious to get to work
have at times been impatient at the seem
ingly slow progress made.
The ground to be occupied lies north Of
the Missouri Pacific and near the river, in
Guiding the ground formerly occupied by
the Alderman packing house which
some time ago was destroyed.
In this vicinity it is proposed to estab-
lish pottery works which will start out
with a good capital stock and experienced
men in the business in charge and supply
ing most of the capital. For some time
this enterprise has been contemplated ana
the question thoroughly considered by the
gentlemen who have decided TO establish
the manufacture.
Adjoining, or in the same vicinity of the
pottery will be a soap factory, in which
some of the leading citizens of the west
side are interested. They have been max
ing soap on limited scale and have tested
the merit of the output and the business IN
the scheme The result causes them 10 be
anxious to get large factory IN opera
ton.
A spice mill plant is also numbered in
the list and will be near the railroad on the
north side, short distance east OF the ice
plant. The gentlemen who furnish the
capital and experience in that line come
from Indianapolis They are well known
in the city by some leading business men
who handle goods in that line and who
themselves have interest in the concern.
This, it is said, will enlist several thousand
dollars and be Que OF the important indus
tries in that line.
On the Alderman Island Mr.. Alderman
and sons will establish coal yard. They
are getting ready to commence business as
soon as trade in that line could be eX-
pected.
Arrangements have been made with the
Missouri Pacific for switch facilities.
Work on the main switch, which VIII
leave the road near the ice plant and eX-
tend to the island accommodating the coal
yard viii commence next week. ms
calls for a bridge from the west bank to
the island, which for certain consideration
the railroad company will build.
BY special request the names OF those
connected with some OF the enterprises are
not given. Owing to certain business
complications it is thought best to keep
some matters pertaining to the important
! Oova ont of Drint for the DreSelt. II Is
thought, however, that it will not be long
until everything is arranged and all facts
concerned can be surrendered to type.

A SINGLE SHOT.

Yesterday forenoon the people in the
vicinity of Main and First were startled by
hearing pistol shot. Two men walking
I'D the street on the west side heard a ball
strike upon the pavement in front OF them
and came TO a short stop. An lnvestlga-
ton showed that the shot had been fired
by Young Lee Davis at Tom Book, a driver
for the Santa Fe bakery, in front OF the
bakery buinding. From the statement
made last night by an eye witness OF the
ARRAY it seems that Davis and Book were
eating breakfast when quarrel arose over
some trivial matter and angry words were
used by both parties Davis went up stairs
and returning with his revolver fired a shot
at Book, fortunately missing him. Before
he could fire a second shot sisinterested
parties interfered and separated the com
battants Davis says that when he came
down stairs Book put his hand into his
pocket as if to take out revolver.

AMUSEMENTS
I1zzIE EVANS AT CRAWFORD's

LIZZIE EVANS AT CRAWFoRD'S.
The Buckeye, the new comedy presented
bv Lizzie Evans last night is as funny as
any of the modern school of farces. and is
withal perfectly wholesome and natural,
and has a captivating vein OF heart in
terest. Miss Evans, who has always been
a great favorite here, comes back after
two years with all her old time archness,
vivacity and spontaneous humor, and at
the same time she has strengthened and
polished in her methods. Size isn't bigger
than a humming bird, fits about as lively
as one. and is pretty, more fascinating.and
magnetic than ever. Her company Is
much above the average, composed OF
we'll known and experienced people.
Messrs. Harry Wilson, Percy Plankett
and William w. Griffith, and Miss Ida
Robinson We're particularly noteworthy.
Notwithstanding the counter attention OF
the circus the spacious theater was well
filled. Tonight Miss Evans will appear in
Our Angel. comedy in which she made
decided hit all last season. She deserves a
crowded house
THE ONLY BARNCN.
Yesterday Wichita saw the greatest
show or combination of shows she ever
saw. Barnum g. Bailey's great fifteen al
lied shows, entire aud complete, under one
management gave their day and evening
exhibitions to the two largest audiences
ever gathered under a canvass IN the
state of Kansas The crowds on the streets
were simply immense when the grand
street parade took place. As early as the
night before the circus arrived, crowds
began pouring in from all parts OF the
state within radius OF from
forty to fifty miles. The early
morning trains yesterday brought in
crowded cars and extra cars on each line.
until the principal streets presented live
II scene of moving. surging humanity.
Every available window along Douglas
avenue and North Main street was crowd
ed long before nine O'Clock, the time an
nouuced for the great street pageant. They
were we'll repaid for the trouble exper-
fenced in obtaining good views OF the pro-
cession. As everything announced on the
bill boards was absolutely and truly rep
resented in the parade. Barnums name
fnr only claiming TO advertise what he
really shows was sustained TO the letter
here Yesterday. Not only was there an
immense variety of new. original and
attractive features. but they were
all represented upon the elaborate scale.
Barnum is a Snowman who beiieves that
one swallow doesn't make summer,
| hut when he thinks one OF certain line
would be an attraction, buys enough OF
| the same sort to dazzle by its complete
ness.
/ The circus and menagerie were By FAR
the best even he has ever shown 10 at

attractions would be but 10 I'll column

The management OF the aggregation was
also as well pleased as was Wichita, for as

! the state of Kansas II is far better than
we expected" The day crowd filed every
available seat and was estimated at 1900.
