ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT.
LEADING BUSINESS MEN WATCHING
FOB THE LATEST on OKLA
HOMA.
What the Parties Think Of Wichita as a
Wholesale Point for the New
Country-InQuiry all to Get
Ready for Business.

There was considerable talk yesterday on
the streets about the possibility or prob
ability of the Oklahoma country being
opened for settlement. Everyone was
anxious to learn the latest on the situation
while many were in great hope something
would come gliding in over the wires to
the effect that on a certain day business
could commence in the much talked of
country.
None seemed more interested than the
leading business men of the city. All
seemed to agree that Wichita is greatly
interested in the matter under
consideration and that if it should
be opened TO settlement it would be Of
great benefit TO the general interest of the
city. OF the business men possibly no
other class show more interest than the
wholesale men. They seem quite anxious
for the proclamation, and last night when
news reached them from good authority
that the proclamation would probably be
issued tomorrow for the first day of May,
there was general rejoicing. They all
commenced to figure on placing heavy
corners, or at least talk that way, and get
ting in full readiness TO take care Of the
business.
TAKING N THE SITUATION.
In search Of Information on the effect
the Oklahoma agitation had already shown
in trade, Mr.. w. T Norman was seen
AID stated that one could scarcely think
that business houses would order as re-
suit Of their belief that the Oklahoma
country would open for settlement.
While it would naturally be expected that
trade would increase in the last few weeks
IN common with other years yet the in
crease had been so much beyond what
would be expected that he was forced to
conclude that expectation alone had
caused many Of the dealers to make large
orders. In his business in the last few
weeks he had been able to hear from all
the leading houses in San Francisco, New
Orleans, New York. While before the
Oklahoma agitation and the action by
congress some of them were inclined TO do
their Wichita business at Kansas City and
st. Louis. In his line this was one of the
most noticeable changes. All the large
concerns seemed anxious to have commu-
nication established here and want to get
ready for Wichita business done at Wich-
tia without any keeping on the main line
to some other wholesale point, without
here, but do the sidetracking
on their first appearance He says that all
the letters he has received speak of Wichita
as the headquarters for the Oklahoma trade
and insist that they have been convinced
OF the fact that Wichita has the facilities
for caring for that business over freight
centers three and seven hundred miles
To get ready for large wholesale transac-
tions at Wichita seemed to be the topic of
special attention, and that its real mean
ing is business he had little hesitation in
saying.

SEEKING IMPORTATION.

Mr. H. r. Corner, one of the proprietors
Of the Royal Spice mills, returned yester-
day morning from Chicago where he had
been for some days attending to business
matters. He reports having made large
purchase of tea, coffee and spices at low
prices. He reports having been on hand
at a good time for purchasing and as
result is very well pleased with his trip.
While in Chicago he met a number
of Wichita gentlemen among them Mr..
Frank Gillispie, who by the way will
return in few days.
One of the leading observations Mr..
Farnum reports is the general interest
shown in Wichita. While there he SAYS
almost every one he met had some inquiry
to make of the city and its
relation to the trade in the
southwest, including Oklahoma, the ada
cent country and Northern Texas All
seemed to think that Wichita is all right
ond the opening of Oklahoma, near at
hand. would prove OF value TO the city, and
when it IS opened Wichita could easily
capture the lions share of the business
called for by the opening of the country
Mr.. Farnum reports that the average bust
ness man of Chicago knows great deal
more of Wichita and the adjacent country
tributary than he had suspected. 1t would
seem that the many thousands of columns
in print Of the south metropolis and the
rich country naturally tributary had not
been consigned TO oblivion by the waste
basket route before some OF the facts in
the same cleaned and given some thought

SAUL OF TARSUS,

Last evening Hon. Geo. r. Vending, of
Illinois, spoke at the Methodist church on
the theme, saul of Tarsus." The orator
was introduced by c. F. Coffin, Esq, Of
this city.
The speaker began by saying that the
task he was about to attempt was to take
parsonage whom all the world knows as
St. Paul from the clouds of the supernat-
ural and present him tonight in his
human nature He desired to speak
not of Paul the Apostle but of Saul of
Tarsus. Paul was the foremost of ora
tors, the bravest OF warriors, the profound
est of scholars and the greatest of men.
To know man you must understand the
times in which he lived and the moral for
ces influencing the people. He then took
a panoramic view of Gods dealings with
the race from period 1000 years before
Christ down to the very time when Saul ap-
peared before the startled gaze Of the world.
The speaker gave vivid description Of
the many years of missionary service in
the life of the great apostle. The wonder
Jul power of this new preacher to stir to
their profoundest depths all the cities
which he visited in his burning zeal for
the work committed to him, was depicted
in the most eloquent manner. In one in
stance the whole city came together,
moved by the mighty influence of this
man; in another the city was rent asunder;
in another, the people believing the very
Gods had come down among them, could
scarce be restrained from worshipping
him.
The speaker drew a picture of Paurs
personal appearance and combat
ted the generally received opin-
ion of infGel and even friendly
writers that Paul was of small stature
and mean appearance. While admitting
that many of the worlds great men were
small, he yet commended that it is not true
that our hero was such. He had, I'M
doubtedly, the Hebrew features with
Hellenic fineness and delicacy, he must
certainly have been strong and vigorous.
The opinion of eminent scholars was cited
in support of the view that Paul was at
moved mankind, and a poet combin-
ing the genius of SHAKESPEARE and
the sublimity of Milton and of David. As
philosopher neither Plato nor Aristotle
are so comprehensive; and the volumes
that single one of his epistles has called
forth, not ship in England's navyscould
float His self control was so perfect that
he never lost his temper; and his manner
was so perfect that he bore himself with
becoming dignity both in the cultured
cities and among the rude villagers. But
back of all and above all, the transcendent
Importance of his mission was the secret of
his power and with sublime peroration
on the glorious triumph Of the apostles
the speaker closed amid the applause of
his appreciatiye audience.

ANOTHER SPECTRE.
The New School Law Said to Prolong the ON
cial Terms OF the Present Members
OF the Hoard.

Another deep and dark mystery is said
to have been detected in the new school
law and the mist surrounding, it is
thought, will require considerable intel
lectual sunshine to clear away Accord
ing TO the legal talent investigating it is
said the new law provides for the reorgan-
ization of the board in May, and not in
August, according TO the present law.
The election of new members of the board
at the coming election will be according to
the old law, but the new law will come in
force some time in June. which, it is
thought, will prevent the newly-elected
members from commencing work on the
board in August, but cause them to stand
aloof until May rolls around. This is
view, or supposition, of a number of the
bar who claims to have had an opportun-
ity to examine the bill and time to reflect
on its hearing.
Since the new law is booked for
receiving the breath of life in
June some of the members of the house
seem to think that it would be well to go
ahead with some features of the school
building work. They claim that the board
should have architects to draw plans and
make selections all subject to the vote of
the people on the bonds. Also they seem
to think that the board could decide on
the grounds for buildings. and get that
part of the work done which often caused
Vexatious delays. By working little
ahead of time it is thought the board
would be able to get two or three build
ings completed before the beginning of the
next school year. This of course based on
the supposition that as soon as the new
law gets into effect an election will be
called for voting bonds, and the votes
would favor the issuing of the bonds.
1t is said this matter will be introduced
for consideration at the next meeting of
the board

Fourth avenue, the hospital will be open

dial invitation to the public to look through

THE PROSPECTS FOR BUSINESS.

The gentlemen interested in the Holly
Heating Company are figuring on site
for the station. They have four sites IN
der consideration, and it is expected a Sc
lection will be made before long.
The construction companies are figuring
on putting down the pipe and putting in
the machinery for the plant 1t is thought
the contract will not be awarded for two
months. This, it is said by some, will
take so much time that the company will
not be able to give any service until in
early winter

NEW JoBBNo house.
waIlenstein Cohn Add New Department to
to the Boston Store.

Wallenstein & Coin, the enterprising
proprietors of the Boston store are about
to inaugurate a new departure. They
have rented the room east OF their present
store. and that was formerly occupied by
the ENTERPRISE, and in it intend to open a
jobbing department.
The room thus acquired has front Of
p feet and depth of 40. In the front
thirty feet they will put in stock Of
ladies' misses and children's shoes, which
viii also be new departure for the firm.
This stock they intend viii not be surpassed
in price or quality by any other house in
the city.
The rear one hundred and ten feet win be
devoted TO the jobbing department. Here
will be gathered one OF the largest and
finest stock of notions and fancy goods
that can be secured, and it is the intention
TO offer them at such prices as will attract
and hold the patronage OF retail dealers.
There are two buyers for the firm, who
spend several weeks in the eastern mar
kets IN spring and fall in order
to procure all the latest and
choice novelties in the markets. Both
have different lines and to these they give
their undivided attention.
The new iobbing house starts out under
the most favorable auspices and with the
prestige Of most successful business ca
reer. Three years ago Messrs. Wallen-
stein and Cohn commenced business here
in room 25x75 employing six people.
Now they have seventy-five feet front and
a depth of 40 feet, and employ thirtv-five
people They have added to their original
notion and fancy goods department first an
elegant stock of millinery goods and now
they come with large and complete stock
of ladies' children's and misses shoes and
jobbing department. The house has
two branches one at Atchison; Kan, and
one at Paola. Kan. Buying as they do in
such large quantities to supply all three
stores they can make most advantageous
purchases and at the same time sell at ex-
ceedingly low prices.
