Alley road in Delano township was accept
ed and said road ordered opened.
An appropriation of s., 500 was made to
assist Salem and Rockford townships in
building a bridge across the Arkansas
river one mile north Of the south line OF
this county.
As the demands of the county require
the use of all of the basement County
Clerk Dunkin was instructed to notify II.
q. Toler & Co. to vacate their offices, i'm
mediately, as the county must use them.
Viewers on the Noel road in the south
part of the county reported the following
amounts as damages: Il. J. Hukel, $3.50;
Jennie Murphy, $50; Charles Bulls, $500;
A. NJ. Davis, $40. Same was adopted.
For fully three years there has been a
hot fight to get this road through. After
repeated efforts it was accomplished yes

Some of the tax payers of Eagle town
ship petitioned the board to withhold the
interest, already collected, on the bonds
voted by Eagle township to the Kansas

claimed, had agreed to erect and main
tain a depot with an agent in charge in

although the depot and side tracts, ETC.,
are built, there is no agent. The petition
was granted and the county clerk in
structed to serve notice on the county
treasurer Such notice was served yes
terday by County Clerk Dunkin on
County Treasurer Cartwright. What steps
Will be taken by the bondholders or the
railroad company's successors, the Frisco
people, is not known. This proceeding
certainly is possessed of originality.
The rest of the time Will be taken up to-
day in allowing bills, but it will be Thurs
day afternoon before the bills can be made
ont and paid and persons having bills will
save trouble to themselves by not calling
sooner

CAMILLA URso's HARD FORTUNE.

Those of our local readers who were at
the Crawford Grand night before last,
must have remarked the worn and de-
iected air of the yirtuoso, Camilla Urso.
Noble Prentis, who was to hear her the
other night, thus refers to the sad life of
the now old woman.
There is something pathetic in the
recollection of her When the cruel war
broke out. she had retired from the stage
and was living, rich, or at least well-to-do,
at Nashville where the war came ana

the old Nashville theater in those days.
When the wah breaks de country up, -
and among the ''broke up was Camilla

WICHITA BOX FACTORY.
SITE SECURED DIRECTLY EAST Or
THE D0LD PACKING HOUSE.
Material, Machinery and Skilled
Operatives Now En- ROute---The
Plant to be in Operation
in Thirty Days.

In the Daily EAGLE of Sunday, Deem
Der 3d. there was a brief mention made oil
the TACT that Mr.. Frank Smith, an expert
enced wooden box manufacturer Of Cedar
Rapids. Iowa, had for several days been
investlga eating Wichita with view to locat-
ing such a box factory in this city as
would supply the demands of the many
manufacturing and wholesale establish
ments now in operation and in course OF
construction in Wichita and some in
neighboring towns. After becoming thor
oughly satisfied that there was pressing
need for such an industry Of magnitude
that would make it prove very profitable,
Mr.. Smith left on Friday evening, De-
cember 81, for his former home to perfect
arrangements for shipping material for
the buildings and stock and also the ma
chinery for the plant
The matter of location, however, was
not determined before he left the city, but
was left in the hands of his brother, MIR.
John A. Smith, of this city, who yesterday
stated that most desirable location had
been secured on the line of the Missouri
Pacific railway at point east of the Dold
packing house and on the east side of
Chisholm creek. a number of very good
locations were rendered but the one chosen
was, all things considered, decided to be
the most eligible one presented, on account
Of its proximity to number of its largest
probable patrons and the railroad facili-
ties afforded.
Mr., Frank Smith, who is still in the
north. writes that much of the material
for the plant has been pur chased and
started for Wichita If no unnecessary
delays occur it should reach here in very
few days, when work will Immediately be
pushed upon the several buildings which
compr Sc the plant, in order that manu-
featuring may be begun within possibly
thirty days from this date
The following buildings will be erected
at once, with others to be added, as the
demands of the institution viii soon re-
quire. One brick boiler and engine house,
two stories, 20X20 feet One two story
frame building for machinery 72X32 feet.
Two other frame structures two stories
each and each 72x20 feet. These, together
with the necessary sheds, ETC., viii cover
some two and half acres, which will still
leave the factory some room in which to
make extensions
The factory will probably be known as
the Wichita Box Factory. 1t will not be
an incorporated concern, but viii have
about $4,000 capital and employ some fifty
operatives at the beginning. Later this
number must be increased and this factory
will soon become one of the most credit
able and beneficial of Wichitas rapidly
and steadily growing manu-
industries
