will secure abundant harvests and great
manufacturing enterprises keep right
alongcoming to Wichita.
John Carpenter, Valley Center's big
banker, IS going to take in the Chicago
convention and Uncle Horace is going to
spend the summer fishing in the lakes OF
Michigan.
E. P. Ford does moi know for certain
whether or not he viii become candl-
date for state senator, but is rather IN
clined to think that he will. He wants
! to make the canvass interesting and with
that in view says he wants John Kelley
TO get good start before he turns him
self loose after him. Clear the track and
! let them 90.
While dead and dying old towns To-
Gated among unproductive hills that fur
nish the only known argument in favor
of the proposition that the world do
not move, talk wisely about the lmpos-
sibility of sewering Wichita, the great
city of the Arkansas valley goes right
along putting in a gravity system of
/ sewerage that has already been sue
cess.
The members of the Tilden club in
this city are determined to make good
showing at the ST. Louis convention.
| The white hat and linen buster brigade
will be prominent feature on that oc-
casion, The people of this city do not
want to control the earth, but when
there is big procession anywhere In
this country Wichita is always liable to
be found in the immediate neighborhood
of the band wagon.
''Of course" said Judge Blackburn of
Anthony yesterday. as he promenaded IN
the parlor of the Manhattan hotel, ''we
are bound to have another direct line of
rail from Wichita to Anthony. think
we can get the Midland built from Wich
tia TO Anthony before the snow flies
again. Anthony is bound to be an i'm
portant city and we want competing
lines of railroad to connect US with the
biggest city in Kansas"
Il think" said c.. Oldfather OF Maize
yesterday, that there is more than thirty
thousand bushels of corn now i'll the
| hands of farmers i'll our little township.
l assessed our township this spring and
there was little over 81, 600 bushels OF
old corn on hand. Of course the pros
pect for another crop of corn is
good, but did you ever think
of it that prospects are always
good at this time of the year. There is
only one gauntlet that a corn crop must
run here and that is a drOuth the first OF
August. We can raise a good stock of
corn in this country without q drop of
rain but we must have rain to make
ears. People are learning to plant earlier
and there is not much danger OF = failure
Of corn in southern Kansas"
sit makes me tired, said the irrepres-
sible Bill Hutch, as he leaned against
the building, corner Douglas and En-
poria avenues, ito hear some of the
ROSTERS talking about gravity system
OF sewerage III this city being an expert
ment Ali the old settlers here have
seen the water break over the banks Of
the little river and run down the slough
that used to run through the center Of
this city and it just went flying through
town. That old slough has all been
filed up and the lay OF the land in this
city is above high water mark in the
big river, and there is Just as much sense
in saving that water will not run down
I1 .f,n Cf hp 4 rl- 10,
say it will not run down the sewers of
this city.
Mr. Herrig, one of the ablest en-
gineers in the United States, was brought
here by the city council to investigate
this matter, and he said it was a great
surprise that the city of Wichita would
pay him $500 to come out here to tell
them that water would run down hill
Lodlam falls"
Mr.. c. E. Barwise has been making
tour of the western counties, and says
he never saw a better prospect for
crops. Barbour and some Of the |
adjoining counties he thinks viii |
raise the largest crop of corn and |
oats that was ever produced on earth. !
You Just ought to see the fat cattle out |
there. tell you, people who have never |
travelled over the new counties west of !
here do not know anything about the |
amount of stock that will be marketed !
at Wichita when our packing houses !
start up. | was in Argonia during the /
cyclone" said Mr.. Burwise, land had .
chance TO investigate. You can study a /
cyclone at a distance with better results. /
l got as far away from this particular |
one as possibly could during the short |
time it fingered in that section. You /
may think kettleman can run but you /
Just ought to have seen me getting away /
from that cyclone. My scientific obser-
vationS IN this particular case led me to |
believe that cyclones are caused by a /
breaking of the rafterS of the universe, /
which causes a large volume Of wind to |
drop TO the earth. This frightens the /
wind and 1t commences to run around at /
a terrible rate, trying to find hole to /
run into. Some day will tell you more /
about cyclones"
President Strong, Of the AtcEison, To /
peka & Santa Fe, a few DAYS ago, when /
looking over Wichita, looked in a me- |
chanical sort Of a way at all the great |
enterprises, but when he came to Oak I
DavidSon's residence in Riverside he or I
dered the team to stop, and, getting out .
