an attorney of prominence. was in the city
yesterday attending to some business mat

fact, open to an engagement on most any
thing, sort of free for all, but had moth
ing for print on the Hillman case. Be
tween business engagements the Lawrence

Turning the Tables

Capt. .. J. Srout, of Millbridge. is the
hero of an exciting incident Of cur civil war.
At the time the Confederate cruiser Sumter
was at the height Of It's career Capt Strout
was in command OF the brig Cuba, bound
from Havana to London with cargo Of
sugar. The Cuba was captured by the priva-
teer, whose commander thought best not to
destroy the brig, as her cargo belonged TO
English owners Accordingly a prize crew
was put On board and the brig headed for
Cuba After time the crew got careless,
and one morning the captain left bis revolver
In the cabin and the others theirs in the fore
castle Now was Capt Strouts time, and he
and his crew promptly seized it In a few
minutes affairs on the brig were reversed and
Capt Strout, again In command, was on his
way TO New York with the Confederates In
irons The brig was soon after delivered
safely to Uuited States autborities--Lewis-

ANOTHER FINE BUILDING.
THE WHOLESALE GROCERY COM
PANY TO CHANGE LOCATION.
The Increase Of Trade Calls for More
Room-To be Five Stories High
and not Less Than Seventy
Five by one hundred and
Twenty Feet

For some time the Wichita Wholesale
| Grocery company have been contemplating
| the erection of new building. The cause
for such a proposed change, as would
naturally be expected, is the lack of suffi-
cient room at their present quarters, OH
the corner of First and Water streets.
During the last four months the business
of the company has increased quite rapid
| ly, and in order to take care of the bust
ness in a satisfactory manner, it has been
decided to make a change. The
present location, although better than the
one on Main street for their business, is
not all that is desired. as it requires too
much hauling to and from railroads. AS
result of this Inconvenience it has been
decided to locate somewhere on the east
side of the city as near Douglas avenue as
possible and at point giving the most
desirable freight facilities. In converse
ton with the president of the company,
Mr.. W. S. Corbeti, and Mr.. Albert Hess,
vice president Of the company, it was
learned that the company will COM
mence hgurlng on new location
in the east side of the city in
a few days. Concerning the new
building they stated that company would
erect building especially suited for their
business. This means building of su-
perior strength, and no matter what is on
hand the walls and floors will be able to
stand the pressure. They expect to eject
building with front of seventy-five or
one hundred feet and not less than one
hundred and twenty feet deep and five or
six stories high. This will give them room
to carry on their business with no disad-
vantages or trouble to contend with
on account of lack of room.
The question of location is
regarded by the company as very import
portant one and will be given immediate
attention, at least at as early a date as
possible. The building itself, it is esti-
mated will cost from $50, 600 to S35. 900 and
while it is being erected of course, bust
ness will be carried on at the present loca-
ton. There will be no interference with
the business Of the company at any time.
The wholesale grocery company has ex-
tended its business over western and
southern Kansas. eastern Colorado, Texas
and the Indian territory The opening of
the Oklahoma country was an
addition of trade which was duly
cared for and which has assisted greatly in
creating a demand for other quarters. The
trade in that county naturally coming to
Wichita has increased the demand in 9TH
er business as well as the grocery line, and
by the way some other houses in the
wholesale business are also figuring on
larger buildings which will enable them
to handle the trade more nearly as they
would like.

AROET PAVING.

Some time ago when the paving agita-
ton was highest, circulars were distrib-
uted over the city stating that the people
of Buffalo had held public meeting and
denounced in resolutions asphalt pave
ment, and made an urgent appeal to the
common council for stone pavement, which
was adopted. 1t also stating that no
asphalt had been put down in that city,
and the meeting grew out Of the fact that
some members of the council were inclined
to favor it.
One Of the circulars CHANGED 10 reach
Mr. y. F. Niederlander who, being &C
Quainted with the present mayor Of Buff
falo, sent a letter of inquiry, and in an
swer the following was received:
y F NeiderIander. Esq.
Dear Sir-ln answer to your letter and
the slip, will say: A meeting was held in
this city and il seems in the interest OF
stone pavement, but notwithstanding the
property owners of Buffalo petition the
common council every meeting 70 pave
certain streets with asphalt We have
now over fifty miles in use / consider a
good asphalt pavement the best for resi-
deuce streets Good streets will help city
in growth as much as any other move
ment can.
The sentiments expressed as quoted in
the slip will not influence people here as TO
what they want Asphalt well put down
wi good material Is in my opinion the
best pavement on residence streets Re
