A COSTLY TEMPLE.
ASSEMBLY OF THREE THOUSAND.
The MasOnS of Wichita Will Con-
struct a Hundred Thousand
Dollar Building.

The Masonic fraternity of Wichita adj
vertise elsewhere for proposals for plat
of ground within specified limits upon
which they propose to erect one of the
most magnificent and costly temples to be
found in the west. The location must be
within the limits set out. The building is
TO be 100x140 feet on the ground, four
stories high and is to cost one hundred
dollars The first floor will be used for
mercantile and business purposes. The
second floor will be finished beautifully as
a grand hall suitable for extra occasions,
and large gatherings, its seating capacity
to be three thousand. The two upper
floors will be used for the different orders
and degrees of the fraternity and
will include a banquet hall, club rooms,
ante-rooms, etc. The orders occupying
the lodge rooms will be the Blue Lodge,
Chapter, Commandery, Knights Templar
and Scottish Rites Masonry, consisting of
council, Lodge of Perfection, Knights of
kadosh and cosistory, up to and including
Thirty-Second degree.
The stories of this magnificent temple
are to be very lofty, so that the building as
a whole will prove imposing in its grand
eur and beauty. The entire building will
be heated by steam and served with water,
gas, etc, emitting no modern convenience
or improvement; in fact, a building up
to the standard and gauge of Wichita's
coming greatness.

JOIN THE BOARD OF TRADE.

1t is the duty of every business man of
Wichita to join the board of trade. By so
doing he contributes to the welfare of the
city and to the advancement of his own
personal interests. He brings himself into
closer relationship with other business
men and into more immediate contact with
the life and activity of the city. He forms
new acquaintance, has an opportunity to
receive fresh ideas and to give expression
to his own. In short, he has a chance TO
aid in the grand work of building up a
great city. All members have the right
under the bylaws to be present at all
directors meetings and express their views
Oh the subject under consideration.
The membership fee is 500, which for
the year 1855 is paid one fourth with the
application, and the balance in three pay
ments, three, six and nine months from
application. This will not be a burden TO
any ony one. The board expect to occupy
their new and elegant rooms in the Sedg-
wick on the 18th of March, and the event
will be celebrated with grand banquet.
There should be at least one hundred
more of our business men join the
association. before that time. These rooms
will give our board of trade a home and
privileges that are not equaled in any
other city in the state. Applications for
membership can be handed to the score
tary at any time. The membership of the
board of trade will hold a meeting on
Thursday next at 3 p. m, for the purpose
of adopting the revised constitution and
bylaws. G. w. CLEMENT, Sec'y.

The brick building on South Washington
avenue being erect for the Wichita Iron
and Foundry works has reached the top Of
the second story and work commenced on
the roof. The cupola and boiler and en-
CINE are in place and the building will
be completed in short time, sufficiently

Stewart, Coney q Co. came TO the city
less than a year ago from Covington, Ken

ceeded their expectation. and it became
necessary for them TO increase capacity.
As a result the brick building now
being erected on South Washington ave
nue.. 1t has front of seventy-feet, lS2
deep, two stories and built especially for a
foundry. The company has capital
stock of $50, 900 paid up and machinery in

machinery comprises seventy five horse
boiler and engine punching machines,
shears, bolt cutters, cupola with a
capacity of sixteen tons per day, drill
presses, planners, lathes, full set Of patterns,
etc. The new plant will employ between
seventy-five and one hundred men. They
expect to be able TO take off heat on the
first of next month.
The plant at present gives employment
to eleven men and they have business on
hand to give thirty men steady work but
have not facilities at present. As soon as
the new plant is ready for business three
travelling men will be put on the road
taking in southern and western Kansas.

THE SUNDAY LAW,

To the Editor of the Eagle.
This mornings issue of the EAGLE con-
tanned an appeal signed by a committee
representing the Ministerial Association
of this city, in which the citizens are asked
TO aid the ministers in securing a better
observance of the Sabbath. Reference is
made to the city ordinance passed in 1873,
and to certain sections of the general
statutes of the state, relating to this mat
ter. Somehow the committee have ne
elected to make any reference TO chapter
l02, of the laws of 1885, which make it a
misdemeanor for any person 10 engage in
hunting or shooting on the first day OF the
week. commonly called Sunday Nearly
every Sunday many persons may be seen
hunting and shooting along the Little
river to the annoyance of people living in
that part of the city. If the laws relating
to Sabbath dissertation are TO be observed
it seems that this statute ought to be in
cluded with the others.
Respectfully, w. Z. STANLEY.

and the bountiful repast, Mr.. Moore, in
behalf of the hostess, presented to Mr. and
Mrs. Robinson beautiful cake, decorated
with smiiax and six carnation pinks. in
honor of their sixth anniversary. The

added much TO the interest Of the evening,
in as much as the guests had not so much
as an inkling of the presentation.

of

each table different game of cards was
played as, at the first ,cribbage; the second,
whist; the third, euchre; forth, casino, etc.
This broke tho monotony of the usual plan
of single game for all the tables, and its
novelty created great deal of mirth. At
II O'Clock the company were invited to
partake OF abe repast prepared, and &C
cordingly repaired to the dining room,
where a feast, indeed, awaited them, in no
wise one of the least features in Importance
tending toward the success of the
evening. After supper the party resumed

''blind euchre.,' Miss Butler is a very
pleasant lady and is much pleased with
