BUSINESS RESUMED,

Business in every department was re-
sumed yesterday with increased vigor. 1t
looked very much like the people were
preparing again for Christmas and the
unprecedented holiday trade would all
have to be gone over again. The mer-
chants were busy and smiling Some had
anticipated a few days Of rest. but of
course were glad it did not come that way
The sidewalks were crowded and the
streets filled with teams, sometimes re-
quiring considerable ringing for the street
cars to be allowed TO travel Collections
were reported easier than they had been
for some time.
Everyone seemed confident that the
ensuing year would find Wichita
growing not only as rapidly as in
recent years but ut an increased rapidity
The marvellous growth of the past year
was often referred to and the firm business
men seemed TO think the present one
would be even more marvellous.

A SECOND COURT.

! To the Editor of the EAGLE
The question of establishing a second
district court in our county has been the
subject of considerable discussion and very
much thought on the part of the members
of the bar and those persons who have
their means tied up in the present court
with but little hope of early extraction.
To compel all questions which cannot be
amicably adjusted inter parties to be adju
Gated by court of competent jurisdiction
and then fail to supply such court seems
to be IA denial of justice. Our business has
so increased that let one judge labor ever
so assiduonsly, he cannot hear and deter
mine the causes as fast as they accumulate
even should they be entirely denuded of
technical pleas and dilatory notions. We
know what discomfort has been caused by
4 the overburdened docket of the L. ;. SUI
preme court. True the interests involved
there are large and the questions generally
of much gravity. But if 500 is all a man
has and it is denied him, the grievance is
more serious than to deny S10G, 900 to per-
son worth 100000.
Fear seems to prey upon the minds of
many that if the congested docket of our
court We're given relief ar avalanche of
suits would pour in and cause consterna-
ton amongst the debtor class. This by no
means follows. A owes Is, b owes c, {
owes ID and so on through the alphabet to
Il. Now IL would pay his debt to 1, \
could pay y and SO on back to A and the
whole Indebtedness would be liouidated
But knows the clogged condition of
the court docket and what a boon it is 10 Il
recalcitrant debtor, and when asked for
payment SCOTS at the presumptIousness of
the request and then tells his creditor to
sue and be blanked. The poor creditor is
poWerless and in his extremity sues. This
creditors creditor sues him and so on until
there are possibly twenty-siX suits, not
more than one of which need to have been
brought could the avenues of justice have
been cleared of the debris now piled in in
terminable masses in them. Is anybody
richer for this but the lawyer and the
clerk, Has the debtor in any of the cases
been gladdened at heart or rendered more
heavy in pocket? Has the business of the
community become more prosperous under
such a regime? We leave an intelligent
public, honest and Jealous, we believe, il
the advancement of our business interests
to answer these questions for we can not
do it in the short space OF Il newspaper ar
tiCle. Our only desire is to direct intelli-
gent thought toward this important mat
ter and determine by Il wise conclusion
whether the 1,500 or more causes under
which our docket now groans, involving
hundreds of thousands of dollars. shall
remain so; or whether court business, as
our other business. shall be carried on with
despatch. Might we not as well lock SO
much money in a vault, away from circu-
latioD, leaving one aperture for the law

which they may sap the pile, but double

a STOLEN SUIT.

Yesterday forenoon Officer Stewart ar
rested a young man named Gilbert Massey
on the charge of stealing u suit of clothes
from DR.. Whitlock. The young man was
taken to the station, and being unable to
give bond, was locked up to await hear
ing on charge of petit larceny this morn
ing III the police station. He had the
clothes, or part of them npon his person.
but said that he had obtained them from a
certain young man, whom he named This
youth was found by Chief of Police McNa-
mara at his home, on the hill, and dis
claimed all connection with the affair.
There WIS, however, found upon his per
son pair of sleeve buttons which DR.
Whitlock identified as his. The doctor
says that the articles were taken from his
room in the kozarus building the day be-
fore Christmas, the thief obtaining
entrance to the room by climbing through
the transom over the door The name of
the secured boy is larry Williams.
About IL o'clock the necessary bond for
the appearance was made out to Commits

Bearing Babies in Arabia

A royal baby's frs toilet, in Arabia. con-
sistS in winding bandage about its body,
after il has been b4thed and perfumed Tbs
little creature is then placed on its back, its
arms and feet are Strengthened, and the en-
tire body is swathed 10 the shoulders. In
this position il remains motionless for forty
days, but the bandageS are removed twice a
day that the child may have a bath The
Arabs believe that this process will make the
body straight for life. Under such cIrcum-
stances, it seems fortunate that babyhood is
not a period which can be remembered in
after years, for nobody would choose to suf-
fer such days Of misery again, even in recol-
lection If the child be a girl, on the seventh
day after her birth, holes, usually SIX in
lumber, are pricked in her ears, and when
shn is two months old heavy gold rings are
attached to them, TO be worn throughout her
lifetime, except during periods of mourning
for relatives.
On the fourth day the baby's head is shaved
"a ceremony which could scarcely be per-
formed in our own country, where thick hair
is usually of later growth This operation
is considered very important one, and
thirty or forty persons are witnesses CT it, for
the performance Of certain rites. This dis
poSal of the first hair Is regarded as veiy
weighty matter; it must not be burned nor
carelessly thrown away. but buried, thrown
into the sea, or hidden in some crevice of a
wall This fortieth day marks turning
point in the child's life Heretofore it: has
only been seen by its parents, the slaves on

body and is regarded as fairly launched On

tain age and girls still longer. The favorite
charm consists of a gold or silver locaet,

The Young Man from College.

College bred young mon are without

The pushing, alert business man Is not
particularly impressed with the value of
a college degree in forecasting the mar
ket or determining the value of Job
lots" because he knows business is not a
theory at all, but hard fact. Then,
too. collegians often give themselves SUI
perior airs, which do not go down with
their associates, the majority of whom
have received honorable scars in their
fight with circumstances. and have little
tenderness for carpet knights. More
over, the impressionable and formative
period of life having been spent in the
school room, they have not acquired that
alertness, that power to grasp business
situation or problem and instantly solve
it. Nothing in their school books taught
them the shrewd, watchful readiness
competition makes necessary.
Take the young fellow who left school
as soon as he had mastered the rule Of

existence. His mind was open TO all
impressions-he learned business with

learns to talk. He has formed business
habits unconsciously. His mind was

THE NEW LOAN COMPANY.
To be Known as the Knight Loan and Invest
ment Company.

The Knight Loan and Investment COM
pany will be ready for business in few
weeks 1t will be composed of Mr.. a.
Knight, of St. Louis, who for some time
has been financially interested in the city
and Las gained considerable information
about the true merits of Wichita, and his
two sons, n. c. and H. F. Knight. AS is
known Mr.. n. c. knight some weeks ago
resigned his position as secretary in the
Davidson Loan company TO take effect
about the middle of this month. This was
preparatory to connecting himself with
the new company of which he will probab-
ly be vice-president and manager. They
have an extensive acquaintance in St
Louis among .monied men and
also an extensive acquaintance in
New York City and Boston
and it is thought some of them will also
be interested in the new company 1t is
thought the company will at first COM
mence business with about $4,000, but Of
course this can easily be increased and
will be as soon as desirable.
The head office of the company will be
located at this city and will do business in
the southwest, with possibly branch Off
ces in some of the neighboring towns. All
the arrangements for eastern connections
and organization of the company has not
been made, but will be completed in few
days. 1t is desired that Mr.. A Knight be
president of the company, but he has not
consented to assume the duties of the posi-
ton. His acquaintance with the
business men and business interests
of the city and southwest,
it is thought, would suggest that he take
that position which added to his extensive
acquaintance among capitalists in Boston
aud New York may cause him to accept
the position. Mr.. \. c. Knight who mas
been in business in the city for over two
years has of course a valuable fund of in
formation as manager of the new COM
pany and he will be assisted at the Wich-
tia Office by his brother, Mr. II. f. Knight.
