ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED.
Stewart. Coney & Co. win Occupy Another
Building 1t the Same Location-In-
ducemeuts for Removal

Arrangements have been completed for
Stewart, Coney & Co. to continue opera
lions at their former location. Thomas
O'Neal, who owned the building, las de-
cided TO rebuild and put upa building, q
duplicate of the one burned down, and it
will be occupied by the company the same
as before,
The day after the fire the company re-
ceived a number of kilograms from parties
in Kansas City, st. Joe, Topeka, Leaven-
worth, Omaha, and Denver, wanting them
to move to the respective towns and offer
ing inducements for a change. 1t seemed
that as soon as they read the news in the
papers they Immediately decided to make
an effort to cause them to make change.
The members of the firm have
however, succeeded so well in Wichita
they were very much opposed to leaving
or in any way change locations. They
came to Wichita without any bonus, went
into BUSINESS and in less than two years
had gained trade for hundreds of miles
around and were doing business on an ex-
tensive scale. They did all this with the
freight rates at the upper notch and In
their business of course this was quite an
item. Since the change of freight rates
they of course were prepared for more
profitable business. The change alone
with the same amount of business would
leave many hundred dollars annually to
the profit side of the books. This, of
course, was set apart as an additional rea-
son for remaining in the city.
They have the temporary arrangements
for continuing work They
have force making fourteen hours time
daily and will fill all old orders with little
delay.

WHY HE GOES TO OKLAHOMA.

Captain J. Carey French, an old Kansan,
in fact one of the first settlers who struck
the territory in '55 and who afterwards
helped to lay off Towanda, and who after
the war became one OF the founders of
Del Norte the oldest town in San Luis
valley in Colorado, and which is his pres
emit home, spent yesterday in Wichita Not
having seen the ground upon which it is
located since he shot buffalo around the
mouth of the Little Arkansas, in
spite OF all he has read he
says it appears like conjuration
or the creation of some magic wand. Cap
tain French whom the editor of the EAGLE
has known since the early days. is going
down TO Oklahoma armed with vast
amount OF literature and a persuasive
tongue in hopes of convincing the boomer
surplus of the agricultural and grazing
advantages of the San Luis valley. He
leaves for Guthrie this morning.

The News OF Kansas City No. makes
the following fling at a friend of ours:
1.-The mule cars of Wichita are spoken of
as vestibnle trains" The insiuuation is
against Kansas Town and a Kansas man.
4 fellow feeling makes Us wondrous kind.
Marshall Murdoch loves his town As we
love ours ana We will not sit quietly by
and see him knocked down and run over
If Marsh runs mules TO his cable
line it is because he likes it the
hest, and man has the exalted right in
Marshita TO run a vestibule 81" road if he
wants to- Hands off from Marsh; he will
he a rich man some day. In our minds
eye we can see his town in hundred and
fifty years from now getting some trade in
peanuts, in sumac leaves and in coon skins
from the country called Oklahoma, lying
south of his emporium. And then he will
be getting gray-quite gray, and after the
lapse of another hundred years Marsh will
pass quietly away.-kaGsas City Gazette.
We shall never get rich for the reason
that we shall probably die before we can
get all the other Wichita fellows rich,
but the minds eye of the editor of the Ga
zette is a bigger thing than we ever had
reason to suspect it TO be if it can take in
Wichita as it will be $50 years hence,
with all its Oklahoma coon skins and
shumac, or even twenty-five years from
now AS for that vestibule electric car
line, we were riding on one them yester-
day with New York gentleman and
London gentleman, and who declared that
in no city had they ever ridden in so fine a
street conveyance as the Wichita electric
vest1bule car. However we are grateful

THAT MAPIN HARPER's WEEKLY.

The centennial edition of Harper's
Weekly contains two pages OF Oklahoma
by William Willard Howard finely illus
lrated, which article in more than one
respect comprises the truest pen picture
of that country aud of the boomer act"
af any which has come under our notice.
There is nothing overdrawn on the one
hand and nothing belittled on the other.
In order to give the readers of the journal
of civilization comprehensive and accu-
rate idea of ''the lay of the land" Mr.
Howard furnished in connection with the
article half-page official map of Okla
homa giving it's rail and other con-
nections with Wichita, the principal city
with which that country is directly con-
nected. The article itself speaks of Wich-
ita's intimate relation with the CONNER
cial life Of the new territory, but the map
forstails ali assertions or arguments to the
contrary. 1t shows for itself and being
drawn from an official map cannot very
well be doWned

WHAT'S SAID OF rs.

The last number of publication issued
by the passenger department Of the Rock
Island and entitled 1.-The connecting link
to say of Wichita:
This bustling metropolitan city, correct
ly named the Peerless Princess of the
Plains" is without doubt one of the best
advertised cities in America, and its Won
derfully rapid growth from comparative
ly small frontier town to city Of IS, 600
inhabitants, elected the admiration and
wonder Of the entire west, as well as some
portions Of the east The "boom" wave
that swept across the land two years ago
seemed to widen its track when it struck
Wichita, and seemingly like magic the oue
story frame shanties in the business por-
lions of the city were replaced with impos-
ing structures of four, five, six and in
some cases seven-story buildings of cut
stone, marble and brick. The marvellous
improvements in every branch of business
drew thousands of people to the city,
some to verify the reports of the wonder
full Transformation from town to me-
tropolis and to witness the results OF
western energy and pluck, some to invest
for speculative profit, and others to estab-
lish homes and new branches of trade,
and thus reap share of the harvest
which was certain to follow. Immense
manufactul ing and pork packing estab-
lishments were built I'D and manned by
large forces of experienced men Whole
sale houses and large retail enterprises
made all haste to occupy the new field as
soon as buildings could be completed for
them. Backed by heavy capital, syndicates
secured immediate right-of-way for horse,
steam and electric motor lines of street
which now thread every promi-
nent avenue, leading into the large addi-
tions laid out all around the CITY,
