THE DAY AT WHITTAKER's,

Large crowds of citizens visited the
Whitaker packing house yesterday to
witness the first days killing. Two hun
dred and fifty hogs received their quietus,
and the machinery seemed to work as
smooth as could be expected. Owing to
the scarcity OF hogs it was at first intend
ed to postpone killing until the grunters
got more plentiful, but, as Superintendent
Hamilton said, they had announced that
they would kill on the first of August and
they had to fulfill their agreement. The
house will be quiet today, as no hogs were
bought yestesday: however, it is thought
they will again kill on SATURDAY.. Super
intendent Hamilton was we'll pleased with
the work done yesterday, and says that no
flaw was found in any part of the plant.
For the next few weeks" he said. "we
will only run as hogs can be secured, but
after that the hogs will commence to come
in and then we will keep going constantly.
The formal opening of the house will not
be held for some time yet"
The large crowd of visitors were escort
ed through the plant by number of en-
ployes, and on every hand could be heard
expressions of aston .shment at its magni
tude. The 150-ton engine seemed to be the
center of attraction and was surrounded
by the sightseers the greater part of the
day

AS TO THOSE SCHOOL BOMBS.

WICHITA. KAN, August l, 1889.
Tothe Editor ofthe Eagle.
Dear Sir:-In the matter OF the school
bond sale set for August 2s, at 4 o'clock
p. M, at the office of the board of educa-
ton.
The prospectus issued by the school
board on the sale of the bonds needs some
explanation to the bidder who does not re-
side in Wichita, and who wishes to attend
at the sale on that day.
The prospectus states that the entire
issue, or any part thereof. not less than
so, 900 will be sold at open sale 10 the high
est and best bidder.
2. All bids must be accompanied by a
certified check of per cen. Of the par val
lie of the bonds bid for
3. The board reserves the right to reject
any and all bids.
4 Delivery of bonds and payment there
for are to be made October /, 1889.
What we desire to ku ow is as follows:
l. What amount of bonds are to
| be sold on that day; whether it is no,
possible to state at this time exactly what
amount o. bonds are to be sold for the beu-
eft of the bidder who may net have the
funds TO buy these bonds, but may, as 4
broker, find purchases for the bonds.
2. 1t is stated that this is to be an open
sale. Is it TO be understood. by the bid
ders that it is All auction sale? Ii is pos
sible that there is distinction between an
| open" and an auction" sale.
B. The board reserves the right to re.
ject any all bids. 1t appears to me that il
the bidder puts up per cent of the pal
value of the bonds bid on and runs the risk
of losing that money, that he ought TO have
the privilege of having his bid accepted
being knocked out of his e., 900 OF other
sum put up if he don't take the bonds
l. Delivery of bonds and payment tl Q q
| for are To be made October /, 1889 IL
avoid the complications that arose In the
| delivery of the comfy bonds, and the com
/ plications that arose in the city council
| over the registration of bonds, the question
is asked where the bonds are 10 be deliv
cred by the board of education. and
whether there are TO be any registration
fees, and if so, who is to pay them.
). The way this proposition now stands
in the prospectus, every man is supposed
to attend the sale with 100000 provided
for with which To buy these bonds with
out knowing whether any more than so,
coo of the bonds are to be sold.
6. A certified check is to be put up of
per cent of the par value Of the bonds bid
for Now then, without knowing how
many bonds are to be sold, every prudent
bidder will havs to deposit a check for
5000 to be safe on the $500 excess
bonds.
Z. These questions are asked by per
son who expects TO have something to do
with the purchase Of these bonds. and for
the purpose of avoiding the complications
which arise where anything Is left 10 b.
understood at the sale and no explanation
has been given beforehand except a gen.
eral proposition. which, to say the least,
may mislead bidders. Yours,

WILL RESUME BUSINESS
The Wholesale Grocery Company to be Ready
to Fill Orders in . Few DAYS

Messrs Corbett and Hess, of the Wichita
Wholesale Grocery company, stated last
night after council meeting that they
would be compelled to take the Root
building, on South Market street, for a
year or more as it was the most suitable
building with regard to room and accom-
modations necessary. The location is such
with reference to handling goods that diff
ferent arrangements would be made as
soon as possible.
The company will order goods COM
mencing today and within a few weeks
will have larger stock on hand than
ever, as they will have more room and
the demand for trade suggests it. The
company in its years of business and ex-
perience has found out where to sell. Has
long list of the customers all over the
territory tributary to Wichita and will
soon be going ahead with business as
smoothly as ever. Three weeks is made
the limit of having complete stock on
hand when business will be started again
in earnest. The company feels that since
they have rapidly increased their business
in dull years and under certain disadvan-
tages in freghts they can now with fine
crops and freights all right, reach out far
Their than ever.

THE SHOW.

Concerning the Oklahoma Wild West
the Racine (Wis.) Times of May "a says:
The Oklahoma Historical Wild West show
arrived in this city this morning and gave
brilliant exhibition on the exposition
ground this afternoon. A little while
after dinner the street parade was given,
which was an affair of such magnitude
that the hundreds of spectators who lined
the sidewalk shouted their enthusiasm in
thGnders of applause. An elegant band
wagon preceded the procession drawn
by six horses richly caparisoned, formed
an interesting feature. In the parade
were drawn two old stage coaches that
have seen years of active service on the
plains, carrying Uncle Sans mail, and it's
freight of humanity. They bad both been
through border fights and still bear I'M
mistakable signs Of the conflict. There
were Indians and cowboys in their own
trappings and outfits, the Spanish beau
ties, buffalos. steers and horses, the whole
making q striking street cavalcade. The
parade was little late in getting started.
but those who staid down town were well
repaid for their trouble.
Even as early as 9 o'clock this morning
the streets were packed with ladies and
children, who were desirious of seeing the
parade. The entertainment at the EXPOSE
ton grounds this afternoon was one OF the
best wild west exhibitions that we have
ever W messed, including the world re-
nowned Blu ffalo Bilrs.

SKIPPED IN TIME.

A warrant is out for the arrest of A c.
Seldom, who is charged with having
forged the name of Mr.. Russell Harding
to a note. which he placed at the Wichita
National bank three months ago, getting
the money on it. The note calls for 500,
and when it was due Seldom did not APP
pear and Mr.. Harding was notified, who
soon found out the forgery. Seldom was
seen yesterday morning in the city but got
the tip to leave and has not been seen
since
For some time he was employed as a
clerk in the Missouri Pacific offices, but
some days ago was discharged. He is well
known among the gamblers, and it is said
for some time has been unable to improve
his hand on the second draw and as a re-
suit fell in the soup trying to ''rad-a-
kaboo" bob-tail fushes. He leaves a
healthy boarding house bill

CEMETERY.

People out driving toward Paramount
remark the fine appearance of the new
cemetery. The great advantage OF the
lawn plan over the old idea of copings and
fences is already apparent and as the years
go by the difference will be still more
marked. The lawn mower can be run
everywhere and the landscape effect is
restful and pleasant. The projectors of
Maple Grove acted wisely when they
adopted this modern way of conducting a
cemetery. Many of the best lots are
already sold and number of new monu-
ments have recently been erected. With
tbs water works in the cemetery people
can feel assured that the blue grass,
shrubs add flowers will be kept alive and
thrifty

IMPROVEMENTS ON COLLEGE HILL.


When College Hill undertakes to do
anything it goes without saying that it
will be done well. Instance the new hall
which has been fitted up by the S. and b.
club and the Presbyterian Sunday school
in the brick block at the corner of Douglas
and Hillside. At the entrance are two
large ante rooms, one of which will be
used as ladies cloak room. The audi
torium is aight and airy with seating
capacity of about two hundred. The stage
and dressing rooms are much larger than
is usual in halls of this size, and with
such aids we have no doubut that the en-
lertainments of the S. and b. club will be
even more varied and interesting than
they were last year.
The work is almost completed, and the
hall will be formally opened next Sunday
afternoon at $3.50 Oy the Presbyterian Sum-
day school, The Rev. David Winters, of
the First Presbyterian church. has been
engaged to deliver the address. The ser
vices will be of general interest and all are
invited to attend.

AMUSFMFNTS.

The Goodyear, Cook s. Dillon minstrels
have gained a reputation solely upon their
merits. This company started out last
August with the determination that the
road TO success lay in giving the public a
company of artists that could present acts
that were refined and novel. The gentle
men who compose this organization are
high salaried, but their novelties are well
worth it. The public can be assured of
seeing strictly first-class entertainment.
To watch the evolutions Of the king of
Clubs" Mr.. Ben Mowatt, mystifies and
pleases you with the ease and grace with
which he handles his clubs. The feats
performed by the Nichols Bros, TO which
are added the other attractions, have all
been endorsed by the press, and Messrs.

efforts well repaid this season.
