The Gazette. ten years ago, would not
have admitted that it was possible to
have ten cisies aggregating 100, 900 peo-
pie within fifty miles of the junction of
the Big and Little Arkansas rivers,
during his natural life. Any such claim
would have been hooted and ridiculed
as the idea of Wichita being great me-
tropolis is now hooted.
Wichita can be a metropolis and it
will be, and there can be one in the
north part of the state; one in the center
and one 200 miles southwest. The
twenty mile limit is good for ridicule,
but we spoke of 100 mile limit as the
least, and 80 10 200 as the most. Kan
sas City, Mo, got Its start and pounded
the liver out OF the elder Kansas Cities
on trade Of less than one-fifth Of Kan
sas, and if the Gazette will turn US over
one-hfth of Kansas for trade,
and that fifth, our natural fifth, coDsid-
ering our location, we can, with that
fifth and the Indian Territory, make the
voices of the Sni Hills weep.
l desire the Gazette 70 understand that
whilst | have no faith in the Almighty
as townsite man, and whilst We might
not have located Wichita at its present
site. we have accepted the situation and
intend to demonstrate that the motto OF
the Wichita Board of Trade. Harmony,
Unity, Strength, Success, comprehends
the entire problem of building a town,
city or state.
We have no enviousness in our make
UP, so far as Kansas Is concerned; We
want no trade we don't earn, and If Kan
sas City, Kan, can outstrip Us In the
race; can prove that IT mot Kansas City,
Mo- is the place Tor kansans to trade At
in all lines; can prove that 1t Is 70 the
best interest Of Kansas 10 so do; and,
lastly, can prove that ONE city IN state
Is better than five or ten for the state,
we shall gracefully submit
We believe that 800. oo0 people in Kan
sas In ten cities is of vastly greater ad-
vantage than ten villages and one city OF
90, 600 people.

been any consolidation of struggling

have been in Kansas and the sdistin

fascination and charm. Indeed, it NAV be
said to have amounted to an infatuation of
so overmastering kind, that he had no
hesitation in setting aside eyery seruple
that would have been acknowledged bv a
less Infatuated student, whenever moral
obstacle stood in the way of the advance
ment of the interests of science.
If report may be trusted, Westlake was a
vivisectionist long before the term yivisec-
tion fell on the startled ears of a humane
world. Certainly an incredible number of
live rabbits, cats and dogs found their way
to the Retreat as his place was called,
which set the minds of the Norfolk rustics
wondering "what Doctor Westlake could
want with all that live stock" But the
bucolics of Norfolk never penetrated the
secrets of the Retreat. If any belated trav-
eler passing near the asylum after nightfall
CHANGED to be startled by agonizing cries as
from living creatures in torment, It was set
down to "those poor bodies who were kept
inside to have their reason mended.'' .
Certain it is that Doctor Westlake was
often employed in his laboratory in pursuit
of his occult studies at the expense of some
poor quiver1ng animal, when his attention
might have been better employed in the
supervision of his agents, and particularly
of brute named Howgate whose cruelty
cost his master dear. Howgate was fiend
in human shape who delighted in the infiic.
ton of pain.
One night when his master was employed
below, in torturing dumb animals in the in
terests of science, Howgate was engaged in
one of the wards above in torturing a pool
half-witted creature who died under the
treatment. Westlake interiered, but he
was too late. He could not repair the
broken ribs nor heal the Iacerated lung
The former might have been within the
scope OF his skill, if the injury had stood
alone. The latter was not Westlake
would have covered up the affair if he
could, but the friends of the patient were
startled by the suddenness of his death, and
when they came down, bringing a medical
friend with them, Westlake was quick
enough to perceive that the truth must be
told. An inquest was held, and though by
his evidence Westlake endeavored tc
screen Howgate, an incensed Norfolk jury
insisted on sending Howgate for trial to an.
swer charge of manslaughter. But DR.

,crAL rE1EeRAn 10 THE prsPArc,

The Champion Infdel Sums Up the Boodler
Kerr Testimony.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, March 15.-The desire to
hear Colonel Ingersoll and Colonel Fellows
sum up brought crowd to the court room
at the Boodler Kerr trial to-day. Among
other things, Colonel Ingersoll, in his
speech for the defendant, said: -..
For some cause or other as soon as a man is
indicted people are convinced that he must be
guilty. 1t is the same as though man were
suspected Of insanity. Let man be so sus-
pected and every action will be looked upon as
insane. Half dozen men met in a rear Office,
and everyone winks his eye and concludes that
something Is wrong. If they meet in the front
office, in sight and hearing of anyone, you can
conclude that they are little more hardened
than those who meet in the rear Office.
When he came to Fullgraf, he said:
Let me say right here that if Fullgraf's ev1-
dence is not true. that ends this case. II he
has sworn falsely, then he has dug the grave Of
the prosecution, so far as this case is con-
cerned. don't want to say anything cruel
about this man, it would be like striking the
wrong repents and confesses he has my sympathy
ana respect. The moment thai he repents is holy.
The tears OF repentance jewel the cheek of
shame. When q man turns his back on the
darkness of falsehood and wrong, and faces the
sunlight Of truth he should win the sympathy
of everybody. Such man could throw my arms
around and say to him: "Here will believe in
you, and will protect you and help you though
all the world is against you" That is the sort
of a man am. But how different it is when
man is hunted, caught collared and confronted
with confession of Duffy's, and then offers to
make bargain to put other men in prison, so
that he may himself go free. Such man de-
serves the scorn and contempt of every honest
man.
Colonel Fellows began the summing up
for the prosecution, but didn't finish to-day.

Gorlington is small village on the Nor
folk coast, standing high on the cliff, over
looking the German Ocean. It numbers
some 400 inhabitants, principally of the
fishing class, and is situated nearly equi-
distant from Norwich and Yarmouth. The
village consists of two or three short tortu-
GUS streets, built in fashion that would
provoke smile from city surveyor, but
was justified in the experience of the Cor
lingtonians by the capacity of the little vii.
lage, so built, to Withstand the fierce gales
which blow on that stormy coast. In the
center of the village stands the church,
built of squared flint, which, with the natu-
raj polish of its surface, gives the building
the appearance of mosaic of grey time
stained marble. Beyond the village, half 6
mile away, stands the 'Sylum, as the rustics
term the Retreat, whose gloomy appearance
is less due perhaps to any idea on the part
of the architect to erect structure as for
bidding as architectural rules permitted, as
to the necessity of the building possessing
strength sufficient to defy the fury of winter
tempests that beat with appalling fury upon
that exposed situation.
The nearest railway station was IA miles
away; Norwich was further still. But DIR.
Westlake's patients were usually conveyed
to Gorlington via Norwich, and Pierce
Wharton had chosen to reach Gorlington by
