As the west bound train was approach
ing Sherman last Wednesday evening the
engineer and fireman noticed something
white on the track a short distance in
front of the locomotive. Darkness had
fallen and the wind filled the air with
dust, making it almost impossible to dis
tinctly see even a few feet ahead. On
coming a little closer to the object the
fireman discovered that a little child in a
white dress was walking on the track.
The whistle was blown anu the engine
reversed, but it was too late. The heavy
train would soon be upon the child. who
was too young to apprehend its danger.
Quick as a flash the fireman bolted out of
the window and along the running board
of the engine and climbed down on the
pilot. He was there none too soon. for
as he leaned forward, entirely forgetting
his dangerous position, with his strong
right arm misunderstanding more
heroic or self sacrificing could be imag-
incd the stiff breeze galloped through his
Burnsides.

BLIND LOVE.

What is my lover not I myself do know,
Its bound and limit stretching far and wide
Until the orient gates Of dawn unbar
And darkness fees before the mornings glow.
1t is a mighty sea where on / go
Sinking no lead, but following a star
Athwart its darkened waves. Its shadows are
Still secret like its hidden rocks below.
How dare l ask for light? Perhaps 1 drift
Even now upon sharp, hungry reefs. Perchance
When with the sun the shades of night shall lift
1, tossed by the mad tempest, shall bemonn
The old uncertainty, the bsess'd ignorance
Man is not happiest when the truth is known.

THE BOARD OF TRADE

The Wichita Board of Trade was reor-
caniZed April 10, 1rS1, and now has a
membership of over two hundred of the
leading and most active business men OF
the city. On the 18th of last March the
board took possession Of its new and ele-
CANT rooms in the Sedgwick block, and
celebrated the occasion by gand ban
ouet. to which more than four hundred
guests were invited. This was the largest
and most distinguished gathering of CAPT
talists and business men ever assembled in
the state, representing many millions OF
dollars.
These are the largest and finest
of any board OF trade rooms in
the state and will be occupied
by the association until the contemplated
new board of trade building is erected
The board has adopted for its motto:
Harmony, Unity, Strength, Success, J"
and with a wonderful blending of the
three first elements, the last has crowned
their efforts with results unparalleled in the
history of rapidly growing cities. In adj
dition TO the large business institutions
located in the city the past year under
their direction. the board still have pend
ing negotiations with several large con-
Germs that, if secured, as they no doubt
will be. will add largely 20 the manufac-
lures and wealth of the city. The board is
very fortunate in having the cordial sup
mort of the entire business interests of the

CITY FACILITIES,
Street Railway and Motor Ltnes-Electric LAgh
Companies-Gas Flsnt-Water Supply.

The transportation facilities in the city
afforded by the street railways and motor
lines are in keeping with what it would
be expected to find in the metropolis of
the southwest. The Wichita Street Rail
way company alone has forty miles of line.
forty-six cars, giving five-minute service
on the leading business streets and ave
nues. The capital stock is 5, 0O0, 900. The
Wichita. Suburban s. Central Avenue
motor line has twelve miles of road, with
fifteen cars and three motors, and give
good service. Capital stock, S100, ZOO.
The Wichita & Valley Center line has
twelve miles OF road, capital stock slOO, 900,
with good equi pment-
The rapid transit line Is four miles long
with three motors and six cars. The COM
pany has capital stock of 800, 600.
The electric railway has four miles of
road, with sufficient equipment of roll
ing stock.
As will lie seen the city is served with
five companies and seventy-two miles of
line. By comparison it may be said that
Topeka has twenty-seven miles Of road.
There is no city in the state as has the
street railway facilities as Wichita.
CITY LIGHTING.
1t will be unfortunate if the visitors are
unable to see the city at night,
as they would see one of the
most beautifully lighted cities to
be found in the world. The two electric
light plants, the Thompson-Houston and
the Schuyler, have three hundred and
sixty lights and several more ordered
which are being put in as fast as possible.
The gas company has one hundred and
twenty-five lights and the Vapor Lighting
company has three hundred and sixty
lights which are we'll suited to the suburbs
as beyond the extent of gas mains and
electric light wires. This gives the city
eight hundred and forty-two lights or a
greater number than in any other city in
the state.
The gas company has twenty miles of
main and seven more ordered which are
being put IN. The capital stock is
$3.50 900 and the plant cost Sl9S,000 and is
one of the finest in the state. The Thomp-
son Houston electric light plant cost
about s75, 900 and that of the Schuyler about
$4,000
WATER SUPPLY.
Inc central portion OF the CITY Is sup
piled with water by the American water
works company, with headquarters at
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. The company
operating the Wichita plant has capital
scock of $685. 600 There are over twenty
five miles Of mains from six to sixteen
inches in diameter. The water is taken
from seventy-two four inch drive wells
which are thirty-five feet deep. The city
uses nearly two million gallons per day
and the station has capacity of seven
millions.
The fire protection of the city comes
from 19S hydrants. The mains extend
from Garfield university on the west to
College Hill on the east, or distance of
about four miles, while they are from
Twentieth street on the north to Lincoln
street on the south or about three and one
half miles.
The Paramount water company is put
ting in station and putting in mains TO
supply the northeast part of the city.
