A GROWING INTEREST.


The people OF Wichita are in the habit of
talking about such great enterprises like
the Doid packing house or the Burton Car
Works. that numerous important manu-
featuring establishments in the city are
scarcely thought of. There a number of
these smaller manufacturing establish
ments or what some OF our people have
considered small establishments, that
have grown to be important enterprises in
our city. Among these may be noted the
Royal Spice mills. Starting couple of
years ago without any flourish of
trumpets, this enterprise has
gradually won its way into public
favor until today it is one of the important
industries OF Wichita, and has extended
its trade into all the states and territories
west OF the Missouri river. A reporter OF
this paper called at the mills yesterday
and was somewhat surprised at the life
and hustle displayed about the building
All seemed TO be busy, and the entire sur
roundings bore en- air of business activity
that characteriZes successful manufactur-
ing establishments. Quite large amount
of goods was found On the platform ready
for shipment. As the shipping clerk
marked these goods the reporter noticed
that several states were represented in the
shipment. Fhe larger part were for
Colorado and Texas. One large shipment
consisted of about three hundred boxes,
nicely ornamented with the firms labels.
This bill alone contained nearly two tons
OF spices, and was consigned TO firm in
Colorado When Mr. Farnum directed a
drayman to take these goods to the depots,
he remarked that to secure this Colorado
bill they had come in competition with
nearly all the large spice mills in the east
All the surroundings indicate that the
Royal Spice mills are getting there in good

Members of Board Of Education.
Fegtley, McNair, Wingard,
Campbell and Howard.

The election passed off quietly yesterday
with fair amount of interest shown.
The polls were marked by small crowds of
people. The police did better work than
usual in keeping the crowd away from the
polls.
The vote was about thirty-nine hundred
and it is thought that about two hundred
Of the ladies voted, while about half that
number entitled to vote did not. The vote
cast was about four hundred less than the
registration, which, it is thought. showed
considerable interest for an election with
out politics.
At 3 O'Clock this morning all had been
received except from the Second district of
the Fourth.
This gives the new council Healy in the
First, Downing in the Second, Pratt in the
Third. There were over seven hundred
votes cast in the second district of the
Fourth, ard when four hundred had been
counted Glaze was about two hundred in
the lead. 1t was thought that the same
proportion would hold out, giving him the
ward by nearly four hundred votes.
Slower, with rather hard fight, gets in
fro mthe Fifth
The vote by wards is as follows:

of the season. 1t is too difficult to say
which most TO commemorative choral exc
cution in WEIGH, and English harmonized
glees, the solos of the various members of
the company or the harp playing OF Mr.
Barker. In the glees there was power, a
wonderful freshness and richness in ex-
preston, with yet the merit of precision.
In the solos, superb quality and thorough
training were evinced. The harp playing
of Mr.. Barker is as much to be praised as
the work of the vocalists Almost every
number was encored, the singers commu-
nicating enthusiasm TO the audience.
