| Street Commissioner Stone stand up.
| When the grade stakes were first placed
on Williams street we thought it a bad
arrangement, but since your force have
worked there couple of days we are
now prepared to say, that is the way we
always thought it ought to be done.
A Chicago man was entertaining

Grand hotel He said it was six months

prepared to see great changes, for last
week in Chicago he heard one man ask
ho / Of
month said the gentleman Oh, get
out, said the..questioner, you just ought

"Yes," said prominent member of
the street car company, 1--WE are going
to make a good many Improvements on
the street car lines this summer. We
will also build new line from Douglas
avenue south on Market street to How
ard street and thence over to the new
fair ground. We will also build on
Water street from Douglas avenue south
to intersect with the Main street line
where it intersects Market
81 want to buy an opera glass that
will enable me to look around the corner
of a house or over a ladys high hat,
said NJ. w. Levy to friend yesterday.
II have been attending the Crawford
Grand opera, and every time woman
with one of those mountain peak hats
with forest filled with birds, gets right
square in front of me. Ican't see the
stage and that is the reason l want an
opera glass with which can direct my
vision on curved line, as it were
Uncle John Carpenter was down from
Valley Center yesterday. Mr.. Carpenter
is Valley Center's heavy banker, and
thinks his town will eventually form one
ward Of Wichita Il can hear the sound
of the hammers now at the Burton car
works addition, and by another summer
they will gobble Valley Center" said the
banker. He was for Bob Lincoln for
president he said, and wanted to
go to the Republican convention at Chi
cago as delegate from Kansas to vote
for Lincoln.
The very first thing that Wichita peo-
pie do after securing some great enter
prise that will add several thousand peo-
pie to our population is to look after the
spiritual welfare of the new corners.
Now that the Burton car works are about
ready to start their machinery with a
large force of men, the Baptist people
here have raised fifteen hundred dollars
to build church up near the works.
Wichita plans and consummates some
grand schemes, but the church and
schoolhouse are always understood as
being an essential feature of the pro-
gram.
A number of men owning some of the
best business lots in this city on which
they intend to build handsome brick
business houses this summer are max
ing arrangements to organize loan as
ISOLATION to secure money to aid in
building. They claim the loan agents in
Wichita are combined to keep up
rates of interest. No better Sc
curity can be found any where
than can be given by the men
owning these lots, and they claim money
can be obtained at a less rate of interest
than is now asked by our loan agents,
and they intend to get it at these lower
rates.

enough" And in almost the next breath
he said: There's not differential differ
ence in the two parties. They are only
split on the tariff question. l am a
stand off. / don't belong to either party"
And now all the political clubs in Wich-
ita are trying to find out the difference
between a puppy on. the fence and one
who is a stand off on the tariff question. |
