A QUEER TRANSACTION.

A strange woman, in tears and appar-
emily great distress, came TO the home of
Mr. j. VI. Sprague in this city last Tues
day and represented to AIr. :. that she was
from Missouri and that she had sick son
or daughter out in the country in the
direction of Douglas, some ten or fifteen
miles, and that she could find no way to
get out there. By her entreaties she per-
suaded Nrs. :. TO take her little thirteen
year old boy out of school and with the
horse and buggy and start with her for
her destination. The boy up to a late hour
last evening had not been heard from.
The father of the boy is in Oklahoma and
the mother came TO this Office last evening
in search of papers for some account of her
lost child. 1t was about as cool a pro-
ceeding as we have lately witnessed, and
as unaccountable and mysterious all
around. The mother did not appear much
worried, but consented that she had per-
haps done foolish thing.

No NETTING HELD.

MaYor-elect Clement sent word TO all
the hold over members of the cou neil and
newly elected members yesterday to meet
at O'Clock last evening at his Office to
consider some matters connected with the
city government. At the time he was IN
der the impression that the new council
would hold a meeting tomorrow night
Afterwards hearing that the old council
hold their last meeting tomorrow night he
sent word no meeting would be held.
1t is somewhat amusing 70 observe the
number of fellows who cali on the newly
elected mayor II IS said the rush for
Office at the hands Of the mayor is some
thing like that on President Earrison-in
proportion. For street commissioner their
name is said to be legion, while for other
positions not quite so many Certain
com binations are being formed for this,

seem 10 have creditsble following Of
worthy friends. What Mr.. Clement will
do no one accuses him OF intimating.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL ENrsRpR1sE
The Sunnower, the Crescent. the Seneri.a ana
the Wichita.

As many of our local readers are
aware there WAS established in this city
two or three months since, in connection
with the Wichita wholesale boot and shoe
house. or. more properly by the same firm,
a factory; bat, few probably know. even
of those who have driven by the factory
building in the Getto addition, what was
really bang done inside of that factory, or
the character of the work turned out For
one we must confess our own ignorance.
We had supposed that a class of boots
and shoes designed for the ordinary retail
trade Of the average country store was
being made. But our eyes were opened
yesterday when Mr.. Getto and Manager
McClung laid upon our table four styles
or classes Of fine ladies' shoes, finished in
aud made in the height of fashion,
formed upon the latest approved lasts and
of the costliest and daintiest French kid.
When inquiry was made about their more
common stock the explanation came that
these were the only classes of goods turned
out by the factory, the cheapest shoe being
a 81 p article, and the best not less :han
S.. This work is being put up for their
wholesale house only for the best trade of
the best towns and cities in the state. For
the present at least there is no intention
upon the part of the company to put up
cheap or ordinary work The names Of
these shoes or brands are the 'Sunfiower,"
the Wichita" the Crescent" and the
''Senorita." The first two are of the finest
French kid, AMI beautifully finished in
satin Innings and stitchings. The "Cres-
cent, !" is what is known as common sense
shoe, with medium low heel. These
shoes are handled by some of Wich-
ita's finest dealers In addition TO
the three travelling men already out. Man
aGer j. E. McClung and Superintendent
E. II. Hall will take the road next week to
show the Wichita shoe to the heaviest
dealers of the best towns of the state. The
firm has now invested in their business
between $4,000 and $4,000, with reserve
wealth enough among its individual mem
bers to double or quadruple the capital
whenever the business may warrant IL. In
short, the Wichita shoe factory is one of
the important enterprises of the Peerless
Princess which is destined TO cut no small
figure in our future commercial history as

AN INDICATION.

Charles Smith, elevator boy at the Sedg-
wick block, kept count of yesterdays bus
mess in his line and little mathematics
last evening showed 1.S10 people had been
accommodated by the elevator during the
day. He reported that business was not
any livelier than the average. This it must
be remembered does not call for ali who
hao business in that building during the
day. The stairway leading from First
street is used great deal by parties going
to the second floor who rarely evere wait
for the elevator when it chances to be on
trip. This has nothing to do with the
stairway on Market street which is used
by a majority of those having business in
that block approaching from Market
street

THE NEW ooM's CHARACTER.

The Lew growth which is coming to
Wichita. the first impulses OF which are
now being felt, will not be so much of the
spreading as of the lofty character. 1t is
a well known fact that at no time has
there ever been any perceptible shrinkage
in the properties on Main street. On
Market street, on Douglas avenue, or in
the immediate blocks of the streets inter-
secting these thoroughfares, upon the
other hand where such property has been
purchased at all it has peen at an advance
over the so-called boom prices. This fact
has been little understood outside of the
city except where and when interested
parties have instituted personal enquiring
1t is evident, therefore, that much of this
property is occupied By improbable
buildings. The new growth will witness
much tearing out of old two-story bricks,
which will be replaced with more modern
roomy and profitable superstructers.

POINTING TO WICHITA,
Member OF the Company Manufacturing the
Mccormick Reaper and Mower to Visit
the City Seeking Location fora
Branch Factory.

Some days ago one OF the leading bust
ness men in the city received letter from
a member of the firm manufacturing the
Mccormick reaper and mower in Chicago
stating that the company had come to the
conclusion that branch factory should
be established in the southwest. He had
heard something of the new freight rates
to Wichita, which, If favorable enough he
thought that would make Wichita point
that would be considered in the question
of location Of the new factory.
In answer to the letter the EAGLE was
sent him containing the report of the rail
road commissioners together with some
other reading matter. and a letter giving
some idea Of the Importance
of the city according to the
present measurement and It's chances for
the future In answer TO this letter was
received Friday in which it was stated
that a member of his firm would reach the
city in few days TO give the question
careful consideration. Some parts of the
letters would make interesting reading
for the many friends of the city, but it is
not given to the type owing to request as
a result of certain circumstances.

amining the record OF the present force,

pose OF being prepared for appointments
Tuesday. The force, as stated, will be re-
duced to twenty, leaving off four. 1t is
thought that no new appointments will be
made for few days.
