SCHOOL BUILDING NEWS.

1t is expected that the new school build
ing at the Car Works and also the new
building between the rivers will be ready
for use when work opens up after the holt
days. The buildings will be made ready
in every particular during the holidays;
also it is thought the two rooms being
completed by that time. The entire En-
erson building during the vacation will
be supplied with single desks.
The work on foundation for Sixth ward
is getting along rather slow owing to hesi-
tation brought about by changes being
considered by the board. The First and
Fifth have, however, suffered more than
the Sixth from the change question.
Something radically wrong was discover
ed in the Third ward building yesterday
and the building committee went out to
take mechanical glance.
1t was stated by member of the build
ing committee yesterday that Mr.. Bakers
services rs superintendent of the Fifth
ward building would be dispensed with
last evening owing to charges made that
he was not competent to draw salary in
that line. 1t is suggested that the matter
will come up at the next meeting of the
board and Mr.. Baker and his friends on
the boord will be given a chance to dem
onstrate his efficiency and be relieved of
any insinuations calculated to injure his
business.
One Of the members yesterday stated
that In his judgment the chances for graft
ing the towers back on to the school
buildings were quite good. He thought
the estimates on the financial saving
would not at this late date be enough to
warrant leaving them off. The founda-
tions SO far had been constructed with ex-
ira expense to support the towers, and be-
sides the contractors have the under hold
in the matter and can charge an exorbt-
ant price to conform to the change pro-
posed. The change, he suggested, would
give good chrnce for some more ques-
tionable monkey work where contractors
set very high price for change but do
not get it. the amount above actual cost
to compensate the energetic fellows who
devised the scheme.

RUSHING MEETS WITH AN ACCIDENT.

The many friends and acquaintance of
Mr.. F. o. Rushing, formerly connected
with the Citizens Electric Light company
of this city. will be sorry to learn of the
painful accident which befell him in st.
Joseph, where be went few months back
to accept position with the Peoples
Street Railway company. The radiator in
the company's office exploded from too
heavy pressure of steam and it is feared
that he has lost his eyesight and at best it
will be seriously impaired for some time.
He is also suffering from the effects of in
haling the steam, and his physicians as yet
are unable to give an opinion as to the full
extent of his injuries. The real cause Of
the explosion is supposed to have been due
from a defective pipe in the radiator.

4 MILLION BUsHEL ELEVATOR WANTED.

Several times within the past few
months the EAGLE has set forth the re-
Elected opinion of old grain dealers and its
own observation as to the great profit
which would be realized by the company
or individual who should erect grain
elevator In this city with all the modern
appliances and capacity of not less than
one million bushels. In speaking with
Mr.. ID. H. Rhodes. the superintendent of
the Wichita & Western railway, touching
the freight car famine on his line and
which has increased day by day until ne
found himself one hundred and fifteen
cars short of his orders night before last,
he said that million bushel elevator at
Wichita would solve the whole ques-
ton as far as the Wichita g.
Western is concerned and prove of
the greatest advantage to local
dealers along his line as well
as to the producers who were waiting on
the local dealers for their money, which
local dealers, in turn, were compelled to
wait for cars. With a big elevator at
Wichita of million bushel storage ca
pacity every point on the line could have
its quota of necessary cars every day,
while rs it is the great number of the cars
belonging to his line when hauled away to
some eastern sidetrack to remain for what
seemed in his crowded condition an almost
interminable time. Our present elevators,
while doing all they ran, being run to
their fullest capacity mis- 1T and day, they
can do little more than simply buy, clean,
and Ieship as they can procure cars, hav-
ingonly a storage capacity of few thous-
ands of bushels. Instead of ten, fifteen
and twenty car loads of grain
per Gay, as now, the ;business
would jump to hundred cars
per day. This, in turn, would result
in stronger market for the dealers, better
prices for the producers, and more salts
factory and profitable work for the rail-
roads. which would simply haul out full
and continuous through trains from
Wichita to the greater markets, instead of
setting out and in half dozen or so cars
each every day.
As our grain men all say that such an
elevator would prove grandly paying in
vestment, as the railroads say that it
would prove more satisfactory and profit
able and relieve possible local car famines,
and as it would prove better for the farmer
and local shipper and greatly in the inter-
est of the Wichita grain market, why not
go to work and secure it?

ABOUT THE HOSPITAL MATTER.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Will you allow me to make statement
in your columns on the subject suggested
by one of the council as to consolidating
the hospital work of the city.
The old Benevolent Home, now called
Wichita Hospital, is willing to open its
hospitable doors to all sufferers of every
class and school. This institution has
been managed for nearly five years by
board of twenty lady directors, who have
carried it on successfully and economically
by most persevering efforts. The building
they now occupy is capable of containing
about fifty charity patients and there are
seven large and we'll furnished rooms for
pay patients; bath rooms on every floor
and modern conveniences in all the wards,
with steam heat and admirable ventila-
tion.
The rule for the admission Of charity
patients is, and always has been, "a pa
tient may be admitted by order of the
president or one of directors, or by order
of member of the Staff All schools
have been treated by their own physicians,
and no worthy applicant has ever beeu,re-
fused. MRS. a. BASLEY, President.

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.

''Held by the Enemy" will be presented
at the Crawford Grand on Wednesday
evening next for one night only. The seats
Will be on sale Monday morning at nine
o'clock. In speaking of this play the
Boston Advertiser says the following:
"As whole, in finish and precision of
staging in detail, the rendering was the
most complete and effective ever given in
this city. From beginning to end the
movement is borne on with a spirit and
sharpness of execution. q crispness OF at
tack, to borrow a suggested phrase, and
concord OF action which is essential to the
full effect of melodrama, but is unfortu-
nately so rarely shown. So much the more
reason for full and hearty recognition
when it is found as here. The scenery and
setting OF the series of war views were
good throughout, and the easement in the
fort where the court martial takes place,
and the division headquarters under fire,
are notably realistic. In the latter scene
we hear the sharp gathering of hoofs,
ending with the heavy trampling in the
courtyard as the spurred horses Of flying
orderlies come galloping in, and the re-
ceding sounds of departing feet are given
with equal effect"

SANDWICH HUNTING.
There was considerable comment yester-
dau On tho rtroots a houf a f1vinz and nm

There was considerable comment yestef-
day on the streets about flying and un-
expected visit made by Colonel H. w.
Lewis and W. E. Stanley. They were
walking along the street arm in arm and
concluded that they wanted a sandwich,
as supposed and went in. They went on
and on and on until they reached what
they supposed was sandwich counter and
the Colonel asked If he could enter into
negotiations there for a sandwich with
recent bread and lean piece of meat with
mustard spread in delicate and aristo-
cratique manner. The gentleman in
charge replied that he believed he had
some that would exactly suit him and
commenced to raise some boxes and stir
up racket in the pantry but he accident
ally looked around and saw the moon over
his left shoulder and while there was no
blood in sight he hesitated then went to
work again but failed to dig up any sand
witches. Very soon he was called by a
mysterious intuition to other fields of
labor and in response to the monitor he
went on his way in hurry and as he went
through the door Mr. Stanley passed him
inouiring if the colonel had succeeded in
getting his sandwich. The fellow in
hurry had only time to reply that he sup
posed it was the colonel after sandwich
but he did not know. Mr.. Stanley went
in and found Colonel Lewis in full pos
session of the business and of the pantry.
He picked up knife end went to figuring
with it, but could only make imperfect
figures and would forget to carry two on
the column and hence the interest total was
wrong and wrong on the wrong
side. Finally q lever sort of a
thing went round and going far enough a
sandwich as he supposed. commenced to
blubber out He let it blubber till is WAS
big one and turned the lever to shut it
off; raised it up and took bite and pro-
nounced it a sandwich to Mr.. Stanley and
few patrons He turned the crank
and got another sandwich and passed it
oyer to Mr.. Stanley who sampled it rs best
he could, but said he was nor certain it
was sandwich, but if it was it must be OF
the depot variety. The colonel then asked
the boys to have sandwich, Offering to be
liberal, dut they smiled and replied surely
they could drink buttermilk from the
same pitcher with him, but as for sand
witches they had had enough for the pres
emit When the colonel got enough of his
sandwich and Mr.. Stanley got enough of
his sandwich both retired in solid line say
ing good day as they passed through the
first door Of the sandwich house.
