WONDERFUL WICHITA.
A Pointer for Railroads and Business
Men

The EAGLES oft repeated assertion that
Wichita was the biggest city in the state.
when the facts are looked up. becomes a
very tame claim, as will be seen by ref
erence to the figures given in Mr.. Cor
bits address elsewhere. 1t seems IN
matter of transportation that Wichita is
greater than any half dozen of her cities,
that, in fact, the young commercial giant
last year paid one-seventh of the entire
freight receipts of the state of Kansas.
Thirty-four thousand five hundred and
eighty-one tons were unIoaded in Wichita
in June, or upwards of a thousand tons
per day.
There can be no mistake about Mr.
Corbetts assertion The figures are
taken from the records by railway ex-
pert and are unimpeachabie. No disin-
tereSted observer for the past five or six
years could have looked upon the bust
ness streets of Wichita and doubted that
they contained a greater traffic than any
other city in the state.

large number OF buildings under way
and nearing completion, and larger
number IN contemplation and deter

now being erected are five to seven
stories high. One o. the greatest inn
provements is the Zinnerly block. of
Bedford (lnd.) stone. Speaking of the
real estate market Maj Marshall said:
I'VE are not running what is generally

are very strong. There's posi-
bility of everything, of course, but
can't see any probability of any shrink

miles of street railway and motor track,
and this is being increased steadily.
Mr.. Lee Taylor, interested in the motor
line largely, was in St. Louis few days

have a number of residences costing

Following is an editorial comment,
from the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch,
upon an article which appeared in the
same issue of that paper, and which will
be found in this issue of the EAGLE.
from the correspondent of the Dispatch
in this city. Both the comment and
article referred to are highly compli-
mentary to Wichita, being based upon
facts ard not draughts from vivid mag
nations:
We call the attention of our readers
to a letter from Wichita, which appears
in another column of this paper There
is not line in it that is not true. and
not thing that is exaggerated. Wich-
tia is indeed the wonder OF the southwest,
and is destined to be great city.
Kansas has had her full share of trou-
bles, and it is the wish of this country
that she may have no more. Her ills
have been innumerable, and her children
have suffered with her. When Wichita
was born her hopes frightened, and the
ills she was heir to passed away, and to-
day she is strong and healthy, like her
robust Wichita, and together they are
the twin wonders Of the world.
Wichita is solid in every way. Its
great development is natural and Its
enterprises are founded upon rock.
It's busy men gather no moss, and come
very close TO the image of their maker.
Her people love her with love that
knows no death, and they boost and
boom her with Will and a relish that is
enchanting.
Like the Prussian guard, that forever
stands on the banks of the sacred Rhine,
watching all and every invasion and pro-
tecting each and all of the fatherland,
so do the worjhippers of Wichita stand
in solid phalanx, ready to do or die for
their own Wichita
How much like the ''wacht EN- Rhine,
although clad in grief at the death of
their master. is this watch Of Wichita. ;"

Thus far the death of the German en-
peror and the accession to throne of his
son, the crown prince, have not pro-
duced any perceptible effect upon the
status quo of continental Europe. The
death and entombment of the emperor
was attended by such scenes and Incl
dents and manifestations on the part of
the people as would naturally be ex-
pected in any country under like circum-
stances, where the ruler is held in affec-
Tomato and loyal regard as was Emperor
William by his cOuntrymen, while the
official recognition of his son as his sue
cessOr was simply pro forma affair,
eliciting no special enthusiasm among
the people and little outside comment
All this is largely but the legitimate out
come or result of the matchess strength
of the empire in the estimation Of its own
citizens. though the presence and con-
tinued control Of public affairs by the
great premier. Prince Bismarck. has
much to do with the unbroken pacific
conditions. As long as he lives Germany
will remain united, harmonious and
strong. What changes his death would
and will produce is beyond speculation
even. \ competent successor may de-
velop without delay, and before any
